WaterField Launches iPhone Case Line

WaterField Launches iPhone Case Line

San Francisco’s WaterField Designs has launched three new cases for Apple’s iPhone—just as new iPhone owners start wondering how they’re going to keep those touchscreens scratch-free. The new cases include a jacket, a scratch-free hard case, and a travel pouch, each designed to meet different sets of needs.

The iPhone Smart Case is less than an inch thick and is made with a smooth material deisnged to easily slid in and out of a pocket, although the case also sports rubberized textile material on the sides to enable a firm gip. The case offers a multi-layered padding system designed to protect the phone from bumps and drops in addition to scrapes and scratches, and all stitches are internal to keep the outside profile neat and trim. The Smart Case is available in six colors (green, red, silver, brown, blue, and black) and three styles (a “slip” design for pockets, a “flap” design for shoulder straps, and a “clip” design for belts) at prices ranging from $35 to $39.

The iPhone Travel Case is designed not just for the iPhone, but for accessories like cables, chargers, and earphones. The bag features custom-sized interior compartments and self-locking zippers, and is available in small, medium, and large sizes depending on how much gear you need to haul around. It’s also available in six colors (black, blue, brown, green, red, and silver) at prices ranging from $35 to $39.

All that a little too much for you? Consider the $9 iPhone Suede Jacket. It fits the iPhone snugly, can double as a screen wipe, and is guaranteed to look cool in any retro lounge.

All three cases are available now from the WaterField Designs site.

It's been just a few days since Apple released the first developer preview of iOS 18. Since then, developers and everyday users have discovered features in the first iOS 18 beta that Apple didn't mention in its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2024) keynote. The most recent discovery concerns what happens when your iPhone's battery becomes exhausted.

Apple iPhones have a power reserve feature that conserves a small amount of battery life to support essential functions like Find My and NFC unlocking when the battery is nearly depleted. In iOS 18, the feature appears to be extended.

Following the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 2024) keynote, developers are starting to dig into the first iOS 18 developer beta. Though this beta lacks Apple Intelligence and many of the other features demoed on Monday, it offers a surprising new take on an old iOS feature: the flashlight.

The built-in flashlight feature has been available on the iPhone since iOS 7, which was released in 2013. It hasn't changed much at all since then, which makes sense, given its basic function. Interestingly, it has received a significant update in iOS 18.
