WaterField Launches iPhone Case Line

San Francisco’s WaterField Designs has launched three new cases for Apple’s iPhone—just as new iPhone owners start wondering how they’re going to keep those touchscreens scratch-free. The new cases include a jacket, a scratch-free hard case, and a travel pouch, each designed to meet different sets of needs.

The iPhone Smart Case is less than an inch thick and is made with a smooth material deisnged to easily slid in and out of a pocket, although the case also sports rubberized textile material on the sides to enable a firm gip. The case offers a multi-layered padding system designed to protect the phone from bumps and drops in addition to scrapes and scratches, and all stitches are internal to keep the outside profile neat and trim. The Smart Case is available in six colors (green, red, silver, brown, blue, and black) and three styles (a “slip” design for pockets, a “flap” design for shoulder straps, and a “clip” design for belts) at prices ranging from $35 to $39.

The iPhone Travel Case is designed not just for the iPhone, but for accessories like cables, chargers, and earphones. The bag features custom-sized interior compartments and self-locking zippers, and is available in small, medium, and large sizes depending on how much gear you need to haul around. It’s also available in six colors (black, blue, brown, green, red, and silver) at prices ranging from $35 to $39.

All that a little too much for you? Consider the $9 iPhone Suede Jacket. It fits the iPhone snugly, can double as a screen wipe, and is guaranteed to look cool in any retro lounge.

All three cases are available now from the WaterField Designs site.

There are three phones in total, and they look like formidable alternatives to some of the best Android phones available today — including the Pixel 8 and Galaxy S24 series. Here's what you need to know.

Here’s how Apple could change your iPhone forever

Over the past few months, Apple has released a steady stream of research papers detailing its work with generative AI. So far, Apple has been tight-lipped about what exactly is cooking in its research labs, while rumors circulate that Apple is in talks with Google to license its Gemini AI for iPhones.

But there have been a couple of teasers of what we can expect. In February, an Apple research paper detailed an open-source model called MLLM-Guided Image Editing (MGIE) that is capable of media editing using natural language instructions from users. Now, another research paper on Ferret UI has sent the AI community into a frenzy.

There’s a big problem with the iPhone’s Photos app

The Apple iPhone 15 Plus's gallery app.

While my primary device these days continues to be my iPhone 15 Pro, I’ve dabbled with plenty of Android phones since I’ve been here at Digital Trends. One of my favorite brands of phone has been the Google Pixel because of its strong suite of photo-editing tools and good camera hardware.

Google first added the Magic Eraser capability with the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, which is a tool I love using. Then, with the Pixel 8 series, Google added the Magic Editor, which uses generative AI to make edits that wouldn’t be possible otherwise. There are also tools like Photo Unblur, which is great for old photographs and enhancing images that were captured with low-quality sensors.
