KUKE: an affordable iPhone battery case with built-in storage expansion

Anthony Bouchard ∙ Updated November 10, 2022

Because your battery is such a precious asset to your iPhone, you can never go wrong with trying to expand its life. This is especially the scenario for people who put a lot of miles on their device each day, sending hundreds of text messages back and forth with friends and checking social media on a regular basis.

The KUKE, made by Kuner Tech, is a battery case for the iPhone, fresh out of an Indiegogo campaign, that does away with the clunkiness of many third-party options, and blows Apple's Smart Battery Case out of the water in performance and usability. Not only will it give you a truckload more battery life for your iPhone, but it also provides additional storage space for your documents, media, and more.

In this review, we'll show you what the KUKE case is all about!

Store your Apple Watch bands in style with the Tech Swiss Leather Portfolio Band Case

Sébastien Page ∙ April 23, 2016

I've been collecting a handful of bands since purchasing my Apple Watch about a year ago, and during that time, I've stored these bands on my desk, easily accessible and ready to be swapped at any time.

But as I accumulate more bands, my desk, which was never intended to store bands, is becoming kind of a mess, which is why I've been looking for a storage solution.

As it turns out, there isn't many options out there, but I recently came across the Tech Swiss Leather Portfolio Apple Watch Band Case.

Danny P. iPhone Wallet Case review: a premium case with great functionality

Cody Lee ∙ Updated April 30, 2018

For the past few weeks, I've been using a leather iPhone wallet from a company called Danny P. It's a vertical bifold wallet, with 5 credit card slots, a spot for cash, and a pouch located on the rear cover that securely holds and protects your iPhone 6 or 6s.

In short, I really like this wallet. It's beautiful, made with premium materials, and has great functionality. It's easily one of my favorite iPhone accessories that I've tested in recent months. But it's not going to be for everyone. Read on for my full review.

Apple introduces new iPhone SE cases, also compatible with iPhone 5 and 5s

Cody Lee ∙ March 21, 2016

Looking for a case for that new iPhone SE you're getting later this week? Apple has you covered. The company on Monday introduced a new leather case for its just-announced handset. It comes in colors Black and Midnight Blue, and Apple says it's compatible with older iPhone 5 and 5s models.

This is good news for folks hoping to use their old iPhone 5/5s cases on the new iPhone SE. We've known that the dimensions on the different phone models are the same, 4.87 in (123.8 mm) x 2.31 in (58.6 mm) x 0.30 in (7.6 mm), but this is the first time Apple has confirmed case compatibility.

Unboxing video shows off claimed iPhone SE/7 cases

Christian Zibreg ∙ March 17, 2016

Popular YouTube channel Unbox Therapy on Thursday posted a hands-on video with an alleged case for Apple's upcoming iPhone 7.

While we have already seen a fair share of purported cases for the forthcoming smartphone refresh, the quality of this particular video gives us a much closer look at some of the design changes the iPhone 7 is said to bring to the table.

Like prior leaks, this particular case appears to confirm the general layout of the buttons on the iPhone 7, with the exception of one thing that stands out in particular.

Leaked iPhone 7 drawings reveal flush camera, no band seams on the back

Christian Zibreg ∙ March 14, 2016

Leaked third-party cases based on various iPhone 7 rumors have seemingly corroborated the notion that the device will have stereo speakers, a thinner Lightning port, dual cameras on the back and more.

Claimed device schematics, published by French blog NowhereElse.fr, appear to confirm that the iPhone 7 has a nearly flush camera and no antenna seams on the back.

Spigen’s case renderings suggest iPhone SE may be nearly indistinguishable from iPhone 5s

Christian Zibreg ∙ March 10, 2016

Accessory vendor Spigen has created renderings of a work-in-progress case that it designed for Apple's upcoming 'iPhone SE'. Spigen often has some of the first cases available for new iOS devices so assuming they know what they're doing here, it could be concluded that the upcoming iPhone SE might be virtually indistinguishable from the iPhone 5s.

The rumor-mill is in disagreement over the design of the iPhone SE, with one camp claiming the handset is basically a four-inch iPhone with an iPhone 6/6s-like case and the other insisting the device will feature an iPhone 5s-like look and feel.

Claimed iPad Air 3 case has holes for quad speakers, Smart Connector and more

Christian Zibreg ∙ Updated May 16, 2016

After posting images of a purported iPhone 7 case with holes for a pair of speaker grilles and dual cameras on the back, gadget leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer today posted on Twitter images of a claimed iPad Air 3 case.

Corroborating the notion that Apple's third-generation iPad Air is basically a smaller, 9.7-inch iPad Pro with the same A9X processor, Smart Connector and a four-speaker setup like the iPad Pro, the images show off openings in the right places for quad speakers and the Smart Connector.

Leaked case suggests dual cameras and stereo speakers for iPhone 7

Christian Zibreg ∙ March 9, 2016

Prolific leaker Steve Hemmerstoffer today posted claimed images of a purported case for Apple's unreleased iPhone 7 on Twitter.

While not the first iPhone 7 case, this one is pretty interesting as it seemingly corroborates that the handset will in fact ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack while adopting a dual-camera setup on the back and stereo speakers.

Apple is expected to formally announce the iPhone 7, the next major upgrade to its smartphone lineup, in September.

Anthony Bouchard ∙ February 22, 2016

If you travel abroad with your MacBook Pro and don't want to scuff up the factory aluminum finish as you go through every day wear and tear, you should consider adding some protection to it.

Although the slimness of modern MacBook Pro models is one of the nicest features of the notebook, Incipio's Feather cases are beautifully crafted to not only give it a splash of color, but also to protect all of its most sensitive edges from friction and shock that might occur when a notebook is stored in a laptop bag or backpack.

In this review, we'll be taking you through the case's features and show you how it looks on a 15-inch MacBook Pro with retina display from every angle.
