This iPhone case turns into a selfie stick like magic, so you always have it with you

If you’re too embarrassed to be seen carrying a selfie stick, but don’t have enough pride to write them off altogether, there’s a new iPhone case made with you in mind. Meet StikBox, the first selfie stick case for your iPhone. Because why carry two things when you can just carry one?

The genius multi-purpose case features a built-in selfie stick that extends when you need it and retracts when you don’t. Never again will you be left lamenting the lack of your selfie stick at the opportune moment. Now, whenever you have your phone, you’ll have a stick, too.

“One day I was walking through the market and I saw a stand that was selling selfie sticks and phone cases,” said Stikbox founder and CEO Yekutiel Sherman. “I asked ‘why carry two things, when you can carry one?’ With Stikbox, users get the functionality of both a protective phone case and a selfie stick all in one, which stays with them no matter where they go.”

The company has now launched a Kickstarter campaign with hopes of drumming up enough interest and capital to begin mass production, because really, who won’t want one of these babies? The case’s design really is quite sleek — just 0.6 inches deep, the case fully contains the 28.3-inch stick that just slides smoothly in and out at will. Whenever you want to utilize the stick, just pull, rotate, adjust your camera, and snap a photo. The individual aluminum segments easily cascade in and out for a seamless experience.

The case comes in a wide variety of colors, and even does double duty as a kickstand.

With 39 days to go, StikBox has already garnered the support of 31 backers and raised almost $3,000 of it’s nearly $50,000 goal. So if you’re looking to change your selfie stick game, this may just be the gift for you. You can back the campaign here and get one for $30.

If you want the best iPhone money can buy in 2024, you have two options: the iPhone 15 Pro and the iPhone 15 Pro Max. They have the same chipset, similar display technology, nearly identical cameras, etc. It's a really close battle, save for the fact that the iPhone 15 Pro is $200 cheaper.

It might be tempting to save some cash and choose the iPhone 15 Pro, but I recommend you splurge for the larger (and more expensive) iPhone 15 Pro Max. Why? Let me explain.
It's a big iPhone you won't hate using

It seems Apple is prepping yet another design refresh for its smartphones this fall season. In 2023, the iPhone 15 Pro made an aesthetic deviation by serving thinner bezels and titanium looks alongside a new multi-function button. This year, it’s going to be the entry-point iPhone 16 and its Plus variant that are apparently lined up for a design refresh.

Tech commentator Sonny Dickson has shared dummy units reportedly depicting all four iPhone 16 variants, which seem to confirm what previous leaks have predicted so far. On the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus, the camera lenses dance diagonally on a square bump. Apple is reportedly ditching the current camera arrangement for their respective successors in favor of a pill-shaped vertical setup.
