Temple Bags’ iPad case combines history and functionality

Add as a preferred source on Google

Temple Bags has jumped on the Apple bandwagon and created a smart iPad case in a rugged, masculine, and classic aesthetic. These high-quality cases are made from oiled leather and re-purposed military canvas that was once used in WWII. All of the fabrics are sourced and the bags handcrafted within just a few miles of the company’s downtown Los Angeles office. We think these cases have such great style that they might even outshine your fancy new toy.

You can transport your iPad in Temple Bags’ basic iPad case, or opt for a streamlined folio or bag with pockets. The case (above, $148-$189) holds and protects your iPad while still allowing for full functionality. It can be folded over into both vertical and horizontal viewing-stand options, and has a padded shoulder strap and internal pocket.

Both announcements could eventually mean better apps for both Android and extended reality hardware users.

Some Galaxy Watches may be too old for Samsung’s biggest sleep apnea upgrade
Samsung is adding three levels of breathing disturbance data, but the full feature won’t reach every watch that supports basic apnea detection
Body Part, Hand, Person

Samsung is making its Galaxy Watch sleep apnea tracking more useful than a simple warning. The upgraded system estimates how often breathing disturbances occur each hour, then sorts the result into three frequency levels.

There’s a catch for anyone holding onto an older model. Detailed results require Wear OS 7.0 or later, while watches stuck on older software will keep simpler alerts.

Not everyone can afford to hire a personal trainer. And let’s be honest, learning exercises from YouTube or the gym regulars isn’t exactly foolproof. We need a solution that is both affordable and accurate.

A research group at the Indian Institute of Technology Gandhinagar (IITGN), led by Dr Biswajit Saha, has a solution. He created a bendy wearable sensor that works in the gym and for sports like tennis and swimming.
