Jim Gresham ∙ Updated May 14, 2018

Last week, Samsung announced its newest flagship device, the Galaxy S8. While there are many jokes to be made about Samsung handsets, exploding batteries aside, they are good at some things. Okay, my Samsung dishwasher leaks and the washing machine too (no joke!). Also, my Samsung refrigerator rattles when the compressor is on. Never mind. Jony Ive appliances would be nice.

As I was saying, sometimes Samsung does things right. When the Galaxy S8 launched, I received a lot of requests for the new wallpapers. Thanks to help from Twitter, I was able to round up more than 30 different Galaxy S8 wallpapers. Take a step inside for the details and downloads.

Protect your AirPods case with PodPockets

Jim Gresham ∙ Updated May 7, 2018

If you are lucky enough to own a set of AirPods, you love them, you take them everywhere, you show them to everyone, you run back into the house if you forget them. You are constantly grabbing and going these little wizards, which by most standards, are the best technology forward product Apple released in 2016. With all Apple products, I want to keep them safe and sound, but the high polish white plastic does not hold up very well against scratches.

Within about two days, my AirPods case was scratched and ruined. I use ruined fairly loosely, but any scratch on my Apple products is a total travesty. Thankfully, I stumbled across PodPockets, which now safely cradle my AirPods case.
