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.

A new iPhone app can sniff out Meta smart glasses lurking nearby
Your iPhone can now keep an eye on the glasses keeping an eye on you
The Ray-Ban Meta smartglasses and case.

Android users got an unusual privacy tool earlier this year that could alert them when smart glasses were nearby. Five months later, iPhone owners finally have something similar, and its name makes its feelings about Meta pretty obvious.

AntiZuck is a $2.99 iPhone app that scans for Bluetooth signals associated with smart glasses and alerts you when it thinks one is close. It supports devices including Meta Ray-Bans, Snap Spectacles, Amazon Echo Frames, and RayNeo glasses, while the developer says additional hardware is being added.

Apple’s smartwatches will look the same for at least another year, or two
Apple's Series 12 and Ultra 4 are reportedly skipping a redesign this year, leaving chip upgrades and health tracking to carry the entire generation.

For the last few years, every single Apple Watch has looked identical to the last. The Apple Watch Series 11 shared its dimensions and looks with the Watch 10, and the Watch 10 with the Watch 9. Turns out that streak might not break in 2026 either.

So what's actually changing this year?
