Use the Force to protect your iPhone with Otterbox Star Wars cases

Add as a preferred source on Google

Otterbox wants to help protect your phone with the power of the Force, thanks to its latest series of Star Wars-themed iPhone cases: the Symmetry Series Star Wars Collection.

The cases come in a range of different designs, with a number of different Star Wars characters and graphics on them. For example, you could go for the nicely designed graphic of Rey and R2-D2 on Ahch-To, which features the Millennium Falcon in the background, or go for something a little more simple — a red case with the Star Wars logo on the back. Other designs include a graphic of Darth Vader, a stormtrooper, and the adorable BB-8 droid.

The cases themselves are available for the iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8, and iPhone 8 Plus — sorry iPhone X users, you’ll have to stick with something else for now. The smaller cases for the iPhone 7 and iPhone 8 come in at $45, while the larger ones, built for the iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8 Plus, cost $10 more at $55. That’s a solid chunk of change for a phone case — but the Star Wars branding and the good reputation of Otterbox may make it worth it for many people.

The Otterbox Symmetry Series has been around for some time now, and doesn’t just feature the new Star Wars cases. The series is built to offer a ton of drop protection while still remaining relatively true to your phone’s profile. This is an Otterbox — so don’t expect the most sleek cases out there — but at least you can rest assured that your phone is relatively protected. The already-available Otterbox Symmetry Series offers a pretty massive range of options, and it extends beyond iPhones to include the Samsung Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 Edge, Galaxy S8, and Galaxy S8 Plus. In keeping with the Disney theme, Otterbox offers Mickey and Minnie Mouse cases, as well as plain cases for those that want something a little more subtle.

You can get the new Otterbox Symmetry Series Star Wars cases for yourself from the Otterbox website. As mentioned, they’ll cost $45 to $55, depending on your iPhone model.

Samsung just unveiled its newest budget phone, Galaxy A27 5G, starting at $349, which is $50 pricier than last year's Galaxy A26, yet it actually takes a step back in a few areas that matter for everyday use.

Xiaomi 17T Pro review: Not quite Ultra, but I didn’t want to put it down
Xiaomi is luring me back with Leica charm and battery madness... again
Xiaomi 17T Pro features an all-metal body

Xiaomi started off with a reputation as a very enthusiastic Apple “admirer”. But over the years, the company has built a strong identity of its own. One that doesn’t compromise on value, still stays competitive on pricing, and often manages to sneak genuinely flagship-grade hardware into phones that sit just below the most expensive Ultra models. And in recent years, I’ve come to appreciate a lot of Xiaomi’s products, especially its smartphones.

So when I got my hands on the Xiaomi 17T Pro, I kind of knew what to expect. A sleek design, a solid AMOLED display, and a great photography experience thanks to Leica tuning. For around $1,000 (€899), it isn’t exactly an impulse buy thanks to the ongoing price hikes. But Xiaomi has worked on offering a rounded experience that fits neatly below its true flagship, the Xiaomi 17 Ultra.

Apple shielded customers from memory costs longer than anyone. But the inevitable has happened.

For months, the memory crisis was everyone else’s problem, but it didn't affect Apple. While smartphone and laptop makers quickly gave in, raising prices across their entry-level and flagship products, Apple stood strong, absorbing costs through long-term supplier deals that gave it leverage most brands simply didn’t have.

The situation, I fear, has gotten worse. Earlier today, the Cupertino giant revised the prices for multiple products, including the MacBooks, iPads, and Mac Studio.
