WaterField Launches iPhone Case Line

San Francisco’s WaterField Designs has launched three new cases for Apple’s iPhone—just as new iPhone owners start wondering how they’re going to keep those touchscreens scratch-free. The new cases include a jacket, a scratch-free hard case, and a travel pouch, each designed to meet different sets of needs.

The iPhone Smart Case is less than an inch thick and is made with a smooth material deisnged to easily slid in and out of a pocket, although the case also sports rubberized textile material on the sides to enable a firm gip. The case offers a multi-layered padding system designed to protect the phone from bumps and drops in addition to scrapes and scratches, and all stitches are internal to keep the outside profile neat and trim. The Smart Case is available in six colors (green, red, silver, brown, blue, and black) and three styles (a “slip” design for pockets, a “flap” design for shoulder straps, and a “clip” design for belts) at prices ranging from $35 to $39.

The iPhone Travel Case is designed not just for the iPhone, but for accessories like cables, chargers, and earphones. The bag features custom-sized interior compartments and self-locking zippers, and is available in small, medium, and large sizes depending on how much gear you need to haul around. It’s also available in six colors (black, blue, brown, green, red, and silver) at prices ranging from $35 to $39.

All that a little too much for you? Consider the $9 iPhone Suede Jacket. It fits the iPhone snugly, can double as a screen wipe, and is guaranteed to look cool in any retro lounge.

All three cases are available now from the WaterField Designs site.

Do you often send text messages to a friend or family member across the pond? Or do you want to message someone when you know they’re off work and are able to get to you in a reasonable manner? Maybe you want to send a message every day at the same time, to let your significant other know you’re on the way home and to ask if they need you to pick up anything.

If you said yes to any of these scenarios (or other ones you have in your head), you may be looking for a way to schedule text messages on your iPhone. After all, this is a feature that Android users have, and it can often prove incredibly convenient.

iPhone SE 2nd Gen deals

The second generation of the iPhone SE was initially launched in 2020, but it still manages to keep up with the needs of many phone users today. It utilizes the body of the Apple iPhone 8, which means it will have a home button and fingerprint ID instead of the Face ID technology in current iPhone models. That’s not much to give up, however, as the second generation iPhone SE still has a great display, a 12-megapixel camera with the ability to shoot 4K video, and wireless charging capability.
