iPhone Cases Get Feather...and Leather

iPhone 3G accessories are almost as commonplace as iPhones themselves, but that doesn’t mean interesting new items don’t appear on the scene from time to time. Two new iPhone cases do a good job summing up the diversity of the market: one’s a tough, feature-laden leather item, while the other offers slim, barely-there protection.

First up, the ezView Leather Case for iPhone 3G offers a substantial, high-grade black leather case for the iPhone, while still maintaining full access to the unit’s touch screen and home button. The flip case also functions as a built-in stand (with non-skid feet!), handy for watching video, photos, or album art—or just taking in all the fish in your iPhone koi pond. The case also provides access to iPhone ports and camera, features a removable spring-loaded belt clip, and features a little storage for credit cards or other small items. The ezView Leather Case for iPhone 3G is available now for $34.99.

If that seems too bulky, the Incipio Feather Slim Form Fitted Case for iPhone 3G is a sleek, protective case made from polymer: it’s less than 1 mm thick and offers a matte finish available in a variety of colors (black, green, turquoise, white, and magenta, at last check). The case comes with two surface protectors for the iPhone 3G screen, and packs a cleaning cloth for the iPhone. The Incipio Feather case is available now for $19.99.

Android 15 release date: When will my phone get the update?

Google has announced Android 15, the next major evolution of its mobile operating system. As usual, the development and release cycle will follow a three-phase strategy. February 16, 2024, marked the start of the first phase, which squarely targets developers and phone makers to provide them with a look at the changes so that they can get familiar with the new software.

The first build of Android 15 is the Developer Preview phase, and a Beta release follows it. This release can be downloaded over the air without any special tactics. Once the beta testing phase is over, the final stable version is released. This usually happens toward the end of the year.

Flash sale gets you this iPad Mini-sized Samsung tablet for $99

Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite in the hands.

If even the best tablet deals still don’t mean you can afford an iPad Mini, how about a Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite instead? Usually priced at $159, it’s down to just $99 at Walmart right now and it’s perfect if the main thing you want is a small tablet for browsing online or watching occasional videos. If that sounds tempting, keep reading while we take you through what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite
The Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite won’t be featured among the best tablets around, but that isn’t to say that it’s not worth considering. It has an attractive 8.7-inch screen which is slightly larger than the iPad Mini's 8.3-inch display. It’s not as sharp but it’s just fine for watching YouTube videos or similar. If you want to read on the move, the Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite is a good bet for that too.

OnePlus’ next foldable phone may get a huge camera upgrade

OnePlus' merger back into its parent company, Oppo, has been both good and bad for the "Never Settle" brand. While OnePlus has seen a dismaying downfall in the quality of its previously distinctive interface, it has helped make up for that in camera performance -- thanks in large part to Oppo's partnership with imaging stalwart Hasselblad. That collaboration is rumored to bear fruit once again, this time in the form of a flip phone with a robust camera.
