Gresso titanium iPhone cases – When liking nice things goes too far

NEWS – The cost of a new iPhone is crazy right? Then let me blow your mind by showing you a Gresso Magnum case for the iPhone X and XS series of smartphones. These cases have a grade-5 titanium outer shell with a TPU interior shell. They look nice enough, but would you believe that they are priced at $595 each? The first word that comes to my mind is “why”.

Gresso says that these cases can save the iPhone from a 30-foot drop and loads of 550 lbs. I say you have to be nuts to spend that much money on an iPhone case unless you’re Oprah or Elon Musk and have money sprouting from your … ears. Still interested? You better hurry over to Gresso or Amazon because they’ve only made 999 of these limited edition luxury cases. I think I’ll keep my cash in the bank and will stick with my Pitaka case.

Pad & Quill’s new TechFolios will tame your cable chaos

NEWS – When you love gadgets and gear as much as we do, you sometimes run into problems finding the cables needed to charge those gadgets. Throwing them in the bottom of your gear bag isn’t the best habit because it’s hard to see and find them, let alone the fact that they can become damaged by kinking or becoming tangled on other items in your bag. One way around this issue is to have a dedicated pouch just for all your cables and little gear bits. I’m actually working on a roundup video of several gear pouches, and that’s why the new TechFolios from Pad & Quill caught my eye. These folios are designed especially to hold cables and small items. They are made of full-grain leather and are available in three sizes and are priced from $59.95 up to $119.95 for the Pro size. The middle-sized Classic version is available now while the other versions are coming soon. Head over the P&Q for all the details.
