The best cases for the Asus Zenfone 3 Zoom

Add as a preferred source on Google

Asus offers some quality, midrange smartphones all over the world, and the latest in the Zenfone Zoom series — the Zenfone 3 Zoom — is no exception. Starting at $329, it offers a dual-camera setup with a portrait camera, just like the iPhone 7 Plus.

In addition to Gorilla Glass 5, a Snapdragon 625 processor, and a 5.5-inch display, the Zenfone 3 Zoom sports a massive 5,000mAh battery that powers the phone. That said, you’ll want to protect your device from drops, scratches, and other unforeseen events.  Below, we’ve rounded up a variety of Zenfone 3 Zoom cases, whether you’re looking for a pouch, a wallet, or a more traditional case.

Nillkin Frosted Shield ($9)

The Nillkin Frosted Shield has many advantages. The case’s design makes it extra grippy, and ensures that it’s resistant to both water and fingerprints. The case is rigid, but it should provide solid drop protection. It also currently comes with a bundled screen protector, giving you all-around protection, and you can nab it in either a black, gold, or red.

PDair Leather Vertical Pouch Belt Clip Case ($40)

Some folks don’t like keeping their phones in cases, but instead, prefer to go with a pouch. Thankfully, PDair makes some of the best leather wallets and cases available. Here’s a vertical pouch specifically designed for the Zenfone 3 Zoom, one that makes it easy to grab and take photos quickly. The case is hand-made and features some beautiful stitching, which gives it a premium look. You can order this pouch with smooth, pebble, or crocodile patterns, and it comes in a variety of leather and stitching combinations.

J&D Shock Resistant Case ($8)

Here’s a bumper case that will protect your phone and keep you looking stylish. This case from J&D is made of a flexible TPU, which gives it extra grip and helps prevent accidental drops. It has all the cut-outs for easy access to your phone’s various ports and features, including the dual cameras on the back. What makes this case extra fun is the assortment of colors and designs. It’s available in a slew of solid colors, including red, black, blue, and purple. However, if you want to have a bit more fun, you have a choice of camouflage, donut, or cupcake patterns.

LK Wallet Flip Case ($10)

If you’re looking for a wallet case that can fit your cards, cash, and your smartphone, the LK Wallet case is a great choice. You can carry up to three cards, along with cash. The back of the case has a cut-out for the your phone’s dual cameras, so that you don’t have to take out your phone just to snap a picture. The Flip Case doesn’t have speaker cut-outs to take a phone call with the wallet closed, however, because the front is where you stow all your cards. The case can also bend into landscape position, so you can set your phone on a desk or table when watching video. It currently comes in black, purple, and rose gold.

CoverON FlexGuard ($8)

The CoverON FlexGuard is made of both hard and soft thermoplastic, which gives you adequate drop and scratch protection. This design keeps the case thin and lightweight, rendering it great for everyday use. Another good feature is the lip on the front bezel, given it prevents your phone’s screen from touching a surface when placed face down. The case comes in either black or clear varieties.

These tiny 3D-printed color routers could finally put an end to the grainy night photos that still haunt modern smartphones
A promising lab trick, still years from your phone.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

Grainy night photos are the flaw no phone launch ever seems to fix, so a potential solution that starts with a 3D printer got my attention.

Researchers at Singapore’s University of Technology and Design, along with partners in China and Japan, have 3D-printed tiny structures called color routers. Think of them as microscopic traffic directors for light. Instead of filtering light and throwing much of it away, they guide red, green and blue light to the right spots on a sensor (via Nature Communications).

This app turns the iPhone Duo into a pocket-sized Mac
Headroom uses macOS's built-in Screen Sharing to let users control their Mac from the foldable iPhone, without installing additional software on the computer.
Headroom App on Apple iPhone Duo controlling a Mac

The iPhone Duo has barely been out for a day, and someone's already found a way to run their Mac on it. Well, sort of. Headroom, a remote desktop app from MusicFlow, lets users control their Mac from Apple's new foldable phone, with an interface that adapts as the device opens, closes, and folds in half. Think of it as turning a pocket-sized phone into a miniature MacBook, minus the actual MacBook.

Losing sleep to late-night doomscrolling? This gadget blocks distracting apps in your bedroom
Brick Night uses Bluetooth to automatically restrict selected apps when your phone enters your sleep space.
Brick Night Bluetooth location-based app blocker

I have lost count of how many times I have gone to bed thinking I will finally sleep on time, only to somehow end up scrolling Instagram or X again. A few minutes turn into an hour, then another, and before I notice, it is 2 or 3 a.m. The next morning, I am usually annoyed with myself because I could have just slept and felt considerably better for the day ahead.

It is also a surprisingly hard habit to beat. Knowing you should put the phone down does not always help once it is already in your hand. Brick Night is a new gadget built around that exact problem. Instead of relying on you to remember to turn on an app blocker, it automatically restricts selected apps and websites when your phone enters your chosen sleep space during the hours you set.
