Style and substance don’t often go hand in hand, but with this wood-effect wallet case from Smartish, you can tick both boxes. The Wallet Slayer case also comes in an array of other colors, but we love this light wood version, and we think it’s the best wood wallet case you can buy Fir Sure (sorry). There’s space to secure three cards and cash, as well as high-grip textured sides to keep your phone firmly in hand and protective air pockets in each corner that act like airbags should you drop your phone.

Constructed from dual-layer TPU and scratch-resistant polycarbonate, this case provides superior protection for your iPhone, though you’ll still need a screen protector.

A leather folio case will stand the test of time, and this Rugged Folio from Nomad is built to last.

Become an iPhone video master with this powerful new app
Screenshots from the Kino app.

Avid iPhone photographers will already know the excellent Halide camera app and how it can help transform the stills you take. But they will also know it does not support video, a point the company itself has been well aware of too. That’s why it has launched Kino, a video app for the iPhone that aims to bring similar Halide-style benefits to video instead of stills.

Kino is described as a video app for beginners and experts alike, but to get the most from it, you’ll likely need to be familiar with the iPhone’s video recording modes. For example, one of the main features that makes Kino stand out is Instant Grade, which uses the Log video recording mode, which was introduced on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.
