It's been a big day for Motorola in its legal battles with Apple—at least in Germany. The Mannheim Regional Court has granted Motorola a permanent injunction on the push email service of Apple's iCloud services—the injunction would also apply to iCloud's predecessor, MobileMe.

The glass screen on the iPhone is relatively durable, but if you're not careful or haphazardly carry your iPhone around in your purse all the time, chances are you could end up with at least a few scratches. Not only are these annoying to constantly look at, but they will significantly lower the value of your iPhone should you ever want to sell it in order to upgrade to the newer and better version. To avoid this, many of us use regular… Read More

It's been a bumpy week for RIM. On Sunday, the Canadian smartphone maker's co-CEOs tried their best to quietly resign and hand over the CEO position to their former Chief Operating Officer, Thorsten Heins.

If you have the white version of the iPhone, you may have noticed that it's a little bit harder to find cases for it that look as good with your shiny Apple gadget. Our idea for this article came from personal experience — we have a few white iPhones around the office, and liking the minimal look, we have leaned toward clear or white cases that show off the phone's design.

Wood is all the rage when it comes to iPhone cases and Apple accessories, but you are generally limited to a wood case, which tends to be on the thicker side even when expertly-crafted, or awful faux-wood stickers.
