Give your 9.7-inch iPad Pro that professional look with the Booqpad folio case

Add as a preferred source on Google

With students generally not wanting their backpacks weighing them down, they generally would want to consolidate any items they can. This is where Booq comes in, which introduced the Booqpad folio case for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro.

Unlike other folio cases, which typically force you to either use them to protect the iPad Pro 9.7 or not use them at all and carry the tablet naked, the Booqpad includes a separate polycarbonate case that magnetically attaches to the folio. That way, you can remove the iPad Pro 9.7 whenever you are not up for watching movies or typing documents and still have the tablet protected.

Since the Booqpad is a folio case, however, you can prop up your iPad Pro 9.7 for content consumption at multiple angles, with its ambidextrous design playing no favorites between right- and left-handed note-takers. Furthermore, given its support for the smaller iPad Pro, the Booqpad conveniently includes a pocket for your Apple Pencil, in case you do not want to have to worry about where to place it in your bag.

If you prefer analog note-taking and do not carry Apple’s stylus around everywhere you go, the Booqpad also has room for a removable, 50-sheet notepad. That way, you do not have to carry around an iPad Pro 9.7 and notebook separately, saving that much more room in your backpack or bag. If you run out of paper, Booq will be more than happy to sell you additional notepads in packs of three for $10.

Finally, the Booqpad does not block access to the iPad Pro 9.7’s ports, buttons, or cameras.

As for the Booqpad itself, the folio case will run you $60. If the Booqpad sounds interesting enough to drop the dough on, it is now available through Booq’s official website and third-party retailers.

Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 8: Everything we know about the upcoming clamshell folding phone
Of the three phones expected to arrive at Galaxy Unpacked, the Flip 8 is shaping up to be the most underwhelming.
Three Galaxy Z Flip 7 models next to each other

The Fold 8 Ultra could get a sharper display, a more powerful chipset, a new camera, and a larger battery. Samsung’s purported wider foldable, the Fold 8, is expected to solve the most common problem with tall-body, narrow cover screens by adopting a new aspect ratio. The Flip 8, on the other hand, could only debut with a new chip, and not a Snapdragon one. 

The Flip 7 wasn’t a bad clamshell by any measure. However, it's been one year, and the memory crisis has already hit the smartphone market hard. In a tricky cost-to-margin situation, the Flip 8 could end up getting a price hike without any major improvements, and that might not sit well with potential buyers.

Google Contacts borrows a handy iPhone trick to make sharing your number easier
google-contacts-app

Google is rolling out a small but useful update to the Contacts app on Android that makes it much easier to find and share your own contact details. Instead of digging through settings or creating a separate contact for yourself, you'll now see a dedicated 'Your Info' card at the very top of your contacts list.

The feature gives you quick access to your phone number, email addresses, and other personal details while also adding a faster way to share them with others. The update is arriving with Google Contacts version 4.83.13.940538822 and is rolling out widely (via 9to5Google).
