Do you collect dolls and like to dress them up? I guess the equivalent of a gadget nerd would be to “dress up” your hardware with a fair share of accessories, and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 would be the “lucky winner” this time around with Logitech having announced a new Keyboard Folio as well as a bunch of other protective folios for the tablet device. The Logitech Keyboard Folio will retail for $99.99 a pop as it ships next month, offering the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 10.1 a remarkably thin and light typing experience.

Camouflage has many uses. It’s worn by paintball enthusiasts. It’s the preferred fashion of backwoods militias. And of course, it’s used by the military. All of these valid uses, especially for military applications. But wrapping your smartphone (or knife or …
Logitech has announced two new folio products aimed towards iPad Mini owners who want a bit of protection and a mobile keyboard without bidding farewell to the tablet’s thin form factor.

Findables is offering cases for a variety of smartphones, among them being the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S 3, that feature custom QR codes on the back, as well as a fold-out bottom section that serves as a sort of stand. The QR codes can then be registered with a profile by the user, allowing […]
Liquipel is known for its unique method of waterproofing gadgets that sprays an invisible protective coating over devices and in crevices. However, the company is branching away from that and is launching a new line of products called Skins, which are essentially protective cases that prevent damage from happening due to drops. However, Skins isn’t […]
LG‘s upcoming flagship handset, the LG G2, has had its launch date etched in stone for August 7, with the announcement by LG following months of leaks that have shown off the handset in many iterations. Now ahead of this launch, the maker has unveiled a series of several colorful QuickWindow cases for its flagship offering.
As the name suggests, the QuickWindow cases have a small window near the top, leaving a small portion of the display exposed while covering the rest of it. This allows most of the display to be protected by the case, but also facilitates using the smartphone without opening the case. This is achieved using a “light” finger swipe, pulling up the QuickWindow UX window.
The QuickWindow UX displays select information when triggered, such as a weather report, clock, music player, alarm clock, text messages, and information about a call being received. The case will be available in black, white, purple, pink, yellow, blue, and mint. A price hasn’t been set for the cases yet, but LG says they will be made available for purchase at the same time the G2 launches.
LG Electronics’ President and CEO Dr. Jong-seok Park said: “LG’s newest premium accessory delivers practical and stylish options while protecting the smartphone, which for many consumers is a significant investment. Our smartphone designers have in mind the type of case they’d like to see on their designs. So it made a lot of sense for LG designers to share with our customers their vision of the perfect accessory.”
According to the leaks that have surfaced thus far, the LG G2 will feature a 5.2-inch display, and inside will host a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 2.2GHz processor with 2GB of RAM. Around back, users will reportedly find a 13-megapixel camera, with the software said to be Jelly Bean 4.2.2. As always, we’ll have all the official details for you next month, so stay tuned!
[UPDATE] LG has posted a video (in Korean) showing what you could do with the LG G2 QuickWindow case, watch the video below!
If you’re going to slap a case on something as slim and refined as your iPhone 5, at least make sure you’re getting a good tradeoff for what you’re losing in portability and visual elegance.
So, I’m a guy that doesn’t keep his phones in cases. I’m pretty damn careful with my devices, so I’ve never really needed one. But hey, accidents happen, and the iPhone 5 isn’t exactly a tank, so I’ve finally decided to pick up a nice case.
Trumped only by the time-traveling Delorean itself as the greatest movie plot device of all time, the copy of Grays Sport Almanac that put the events of Back to the Future II into motion can now be yours—as an iPad case. Gone are the pages and pages of sports scores and statistics, not that they’d be any good to you for predicting the future anyways, because they only go up to the year 2000.
