Turn your iPhone into a mirror, bottle opener, and more with Megaverse

Add as a preferred source on Google

Just think of it is as the One Case to rule them all. The Megaverse is branded as an anti-gravity case with nano-suction capabilities that help your iPhone stick to windows, mirrors, whiteboards, metal, cabinets, tiles, dashboards, and more. Whether you want to stick your phone on a wallet or attach a bottle opener, it seems like just about anything is possible with this handy, multipurpose case.

With two weeks left in its Indiegogo campaign, the Megaverse has already surpassed its funding goal of $20,000 thanks to the support of some 300 backers. Apparently, a phone case that features swappable backplates that come in four colors (gold, rose gold, space gray, and black), and the option to turn your phone into a wallet, shatter-proof mirror, or bottle opener, is just too much to resist.

Basically, anything your phone can’t do, your phone case will be able to do for you.

Even if you don’t have an iPhone, the Megaverse promises that you can use the Space, or the nanosuction plates, with just about any other phone case. This sticky back case lets you push your phone onto any smooth, flat surface, and “millions of little craters create suction, holding your phone in place,” the Megaverse team says.

The nanosuction plate also self-heals and is temperature resistant, so no matter what you decide to stick it on, it can probably handle itself.

Ultimately, the Megaverse makers note in their Indiegogo campaign, “We’re tinkerers at heart and our days are a stream of ideas we can’t shake. We see the world as an endless opportunity to make things a little better.” Sure, a multi-purpose cell phone case probably won’t bring about world peace, but still, the team takes heart in the notion that “you can take something people use every day and make it just a little bit better.”

Google Photos adds a quick toggle between AI and classic search
Classic search is finally easier to reach for people who enabled Ask Photos
Google's Ask Photos debut.

Google Photos is giving users an easier way to leave its Gemini-powered search when a simple keyword would do. A new toggle now sits at the top of the results page, letting users switch between Ask Photos and classic search without digging through settings.

The change appears to address feedback from people who opted into Ask Photos but wanted a quicker way to return to classic search when Gemini was slower or less useful for a straightforward query.

Snapseed Camera now lets Android users save original photos and add geotags
Google updates Snapseed Camera with geotag support and non-destructive photo editing
Snapseed App

Google appears to be quietly turning Snapseed into something more than just a photo editing app. Over the past few weeks, the company has been steadily adding new capabilities to Snapseed Camera, its standalone camera app for Android. The latest update introduces two practical features that many smartphone users have come to expect from modern camera apps: the ability to save an untouched copy of every image for future editing and support for embedding location data directly into photos.

Neither feature is flashy, but together they make Snapseed Camera a more capable photography tool, particularly for users who like experimenting with filters without permanently altering their original shots. According to a report by 9to5Google, the features are rolling out with Snapseed Camera version 4.1.1.x on Android.

Samsung launches Galaxy Card with cashback on Galaxy purchases
Galaxy credit card

For years, Samsung has worked to turn Galaxy into more than a smartphone brand.

Samsung has officially introduced the Samsung Galaxy Card, its first branded credit card in the U.S. Designed in partnership with Barclays US Consumer Bank and operating on the Visa network, the card rewards users for everyday spending while offering significantly higher cashback on purchases made directly through Samsung.
