It can be tempting to carry around your expensive new iPhone without a case. Some cases are ugly, or too bulky for your phone. But there are plenty of good looking cases that can suit your style.

There are a variety of iPhone XS cases out there, and none of them are created equal. Some are thick, some are thin, and a few can be used as wallets or portable batteries. You should take some time to think about what you want or need from a phone case before buying one, just to make sure that you’re going for a product that fits your needs. After all, you’re going to look at that phone case every time you pull out your iPhone.

Once you know what kind of case you want, it can still be hard to find a product that matches your needs. That’s why we’ve taken the time to find the best iPhone XS cases in a variety of styles.

Note: All of the following cases will work just as well on your iPhone X as your iPhone XS, so if you’re still rocking the perfectly great iPhone X you can shop with confidence.

Spigen Tough Armor Case ($16)

Spigen has been a big name in the world of phone cases for a few years now, and their Tough Armor case is a great example of a durable, yet comfortable phone case. Surprisingly, this Spigen case is only 0.15″ thick, yet it provides two layers of impact cushion to ensure that your phone doesn’t fall apart after a hard drop.

This case is so thin that it supports wireless charging, which is a bit of a surprise. It doesn’t obscure your phone’s lightning port, but it does cover the phone’s volume controls with some tactile buttons, which can be a turn off for some people. But don’t worry, they’re nice clicky buttons.

There are a lot of cool things you can do in iMessage other than just sending text messages to your friends and family, but for your compatriots that use Android, you’ll want to skip these specific iMessage features, since they don’t work on Google’s mobile OS.

RELATED: Why Are Some iMessages Green and Some Blue on My iPhone?

Keep in mind; some iMessage features still work with Android, albeit maybe not as well as they would with other iPhones. I’ll cover both sides of the spectrum so that you know what exactly does and doesn’t work with Android.

iMessage Features That Don’t Work with Android

Unsurprisingly, a majority of iMessage features either show up kind of funky-looking on the other end or just don’t plain work at all with Android.

Apple Pay Cash is one feature that you won’t be able to use with your Android friends and family, which makes perfect sense because Apple Pay Cash is iPhone-only anyway. You’re better off using PayPal, Venmo, Square Cash, or another mobile payment platform.

Some iMessage apps may not work perfectly with Android. Your mileage may vary depending on the iMessage apps you frequently use, but I used the ETA iMessage app to send an Android friend my ETA, and while it showed up with a clean preview on my iPhone, it just showed up as a URL on his end. Granted, it still technically works, but it’s not as clean.

As far as Tapbacks—emoji reactions to messages—are concerned, they sort of work on Android, but they show up as text. So when you go to “thumbs up” their text message that said “Thanks!” it’ll just appear as a whole new text message that you “Liked” it, instead of showing up as a small thumbs up icon next to the original message.

Your smarthome devices might be running smoothly now, but at any time, a forced update or a change by the manufacturer could potentially break your device, either temporarily or permanently. And there’s nothing you can do about it.

Most mainstream smarthome devices on the market rely on cloud connectivity, which means they need to be connected to the Internet and maintain contact with the manufacturer’s servers to receive updates and support. This is both a blessing and a curse, but mostly a curse.

It Starts with the Occasional Server Hiccups

You go to adjust your smart thermostat from your phone and get shown a nice little “server is down” message in place of all the controls that you’d normally see. This gives you a little taste into what I’m talking about.

You tell yourself that you’re connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your smart thermostat, so you should be able to communicate locally with the thermostat from your phone. Unfortunately, that’s not how it works, and it’s a great example of why cloud-based smarthome products can be frustrating.

Even if you could communicate locally with your device and the hardware and software is there for it, you still have to have an outside connection to the manufacturer’s servers. And if that connection is broken for whatever reason, then wave goodbye to remote access.

Updates & Patches Could Brick Your Devices

While some devices let you download updates on your own time, other devices do it automatically whether you’re okay with it or not. And it’s not uncommon for a forced update to cause unexpected issues, either for a select few or for every user of the service.

During a presentation, a mix of different media types keeps things entertaining, and a well-placed animated GIF is no exception. You can use them to convey a message, demonstrate an activity, capture the audience’s attention, or just add some humor.

Insert a GIF in PowerPoint

Inserting a GIF in a PowerPoint slide is just as easy as inserting any other image. Go ahead and locate the GIF that you’ll be using. In this example, we’ll use this awesome Final Fantasy VI GIF.

Next, go ahead and open up the PowerPoint presentation and navigate to the slide into which you’ll insert the GIF. Once there, head over to the “Insert” tab and click the Pictures” button.

In the window that opens, browse to the location of the GIF, select it, and then click “Insert.”

The GIF will now appear in the slide.

Look, Chrome can get bogged down sometimes and be pretty slow. That sucks, so Google is working on a new mode called “Never-Slow” that should help keep Chrome snappy by blocking the biggest website resources.

Basically, the idea is that heavy resources are a pretty big burden for Chrome, which can cause it to slow down. Never-Slow Mode—which is still very much in the works—looks like it will set size limits for resources, blocking ones that are over that size. Makes sense, right?

Right. The thing is, it’s not perfect. While some website resources are superfluous garbage, the majority is put in place for a reason. When you start blocking resources, well, things break. And that’s exactly what going on with this feature right now. According to the commit, it “may silently break content,” which makes a lot of sense.

Logic would suggest that Google will need a find to way to make this work without breaking sites, because a slow site is still better than a broken site. If that can work out, we may see Never-Slow become a baked-in feature at some point. For now, however, it’s still being internally tested.

While Nest’s alarm system has been able to integrate with other Google Assistant smart speakers for a while now, a new update turns the Nest Secure into its own Google Home of sorts.

The Nest Guard (the main keypad hub of the Nest Secure system) already has a built-in speaker and microphone with the necessary hardware requirements. So the new feature is simply added via a firmware update. From there, you can treat it as a Google Home Mini, asking about the weather and executing routines.

There are some limitations, however. You still can’t disarm the Nest Secure system using your voice, so you’ll still use either a keychain tag or the keycode.

The update will begin rolling out today to Nest Secure users, and while these same users likely already have a Google Home, it’ll be nice to have an additional unit in the house.

Mozilla

Firefox 65 now displays extension recommendations for users in the US. When you visit websites like Facebook or YouTube, you may see an extension “recommendation” in Firefox’s address bar. Here’s how to disable it.

Despite the name, this feature doesn’t show Firefox extensions recommended by a particular website. Instead, it shows add-ons recommended by Mozilla itself. Mozilla says its editorial team selects these extensions by hand. This isn’t advertising, and extension developers can’t pay for placement. As Mozilla puts it, “Firefox does not receive any compensation as a result of this process.”

That all sounds great, but we’re a little skeptical. Many browser extensions have gone bad over time, often after the creators sell them to a company that uses the extension to track its users’ data. Mozilla has previously recommended an extension that tracks browsing data on its blog. We’re not sure Mozilla should be encouraging average Firefox users to install these extensions.

If you’d rather not see these recommended add-ons, you can disable this feature. To do so, click menu > Options in Firefox.

Scroll down in the “General” pane and find the “Browsing” section. Uncheck the “Recommend extensions as you browse” option.

Firefox will stop recommending you extensions as you browse.

Google is an undisputed leader in voice recognition software, but that software has been used almost exclusively for the Google Assistant. Now, Google is using voice recognition to help the hearing impaired.

This morning, Google released two new Android apps: Live Transcribe and Sound Amplifier. You can download Sound Amplifier right now, but Live Transcription is still in its exclusive beta phase. These apps are meant for the hearing impaired, but they aren’t your average accessibility apps.

Screen readers and high contrast visibility settings are the most common accessibility apps. They’re meant to make phones and computers easier to use. But instead of trying to make phones more accessible, Google’s Accessibility Team has decided to try and make the world more accessible.

The Live Transcribe and Sound Amplifier apps are meant to change how users with hearing impairment interact with their environment, and these apps could change the way that many people use their phones.

Live Transcribe

The Live Transcribe app is pretty straightforward. Essentially, it transcribes conversations in real time. When using the Live Transcribe app, words will appear against an easy-to-read background as they’re spoken.

Although this app is still in its early stages, it already supports the live transcription of 70 different languages, which could potentially help people communicate all over the world. Eventually, Live Transcribe should be able to display conversations in an organized fashion. Right now, different speakers’ words are kind of mashed together into a stream of conscious style paragraphs.

The app is in the Play store right now, but it’s still in development. You can add yourself to the beta-testing waitlist right now, but if you can’t wait to see Live Transcription in action, check out Google’s press video.

Gone are the days of slow, bulky car chargers. Charging your phone in the car is easier than ever, so long as you have a tiny, powerful charger.

Thankfully, you won’t’ pay a premium for the pleasure because these days good car chargers are extremely cheap. They come in a variety of designs and shapes, and they usually have Quick Charge or USB 3.0 ports. A tiny charger can sit flush with your car’s cigarette lighter, and it’ll never get in your way.

A good, low-profile car charger can come in handy in a lot of situations. If you’re using your phone as a GPS on a road trip, you’ll need a solid stream of power to keep things going. If your phone dies by the end of your workday, then charging it while driving can get you a bit more mileage out of your phone’s battery. Some people have a lot of devices, like dash cams and batteries, that need an occasional charge in a pinch.

We’ve taken the time to find the most powerful low-profile USB chargers for your car. Whether you’re trying to charge multiple devices while driving, or looking for an alternative to the slow-charging USB port that’s connected to your car’s stereo, we’ve got the best car chargers for you.

AUKEY Quick Charge 3.0 Car Charger ($13)

If you have a newer phone that you want to charge as fast as possible on the go, then you should take a peek at the AUKEY USB 3.0. It only has one USB port, but hey, it’s Quick Charge 3.0! This device is also good at recognizing your phone’s power requirements, so you’ll never have any trouble going into Quick Charge mode.

The AUKEY is small enough to sit flush with the interior of your car, and it doesn’t have any little lights to bother you while you’re driving. If you don’t have a Quick Charge device, then you may want to opt for something that costs less and has more ports. But to be fair, you’ll likely have a device that supports Quick Charge 3.0 at some point, so you could consider that extra dollar an investment in your future charging enjoyment.

Choose Your Own Adventure-style books are a staple of youth reading that brought heroic wins and tragic endings to many children. Now you can listen to your choice play out with new Amazon skills from Audible.

If you grew up reading Choose Your Own Adventure style books from Chooseco, you’d distinctly remember keeping your thumb and index finger on previous pages in case you made the wrong choice (again). Simple and straight forward stories would frequently pause and present you with two options and page numbers associated with them. The feeling of control over the story was always the draw, even if there were more bad endings than good.

Chooseco, the publishing company behind the famous Choose Your Own Adventure books has partnered with Audible and Amazon to bring these stories to your Echo devices. To install the skill, use the command “Alexa, open Choose Your Own Adventure,” and you will be given a choice of the first two books available, Abominable Snowman and Journey Under the Sea, both by R. A. Montgomery.

Since this is a skill, an adult will need to be present to provide permission to install, but everything is straight forward from there. You will hear music, sound effects, and the story read aloud. At appropriate points, the story provides choices, and Alexa beeps to indicate she’s listening for the answer.

The Alexa skill works on all Echo devices and is available starting today.

Acer

It’s been quite a while since we heard anything about a “Chromebase,” the informal term for an all-in-one desktop computer based on ChromeOS (as opposed to a Chromebook). Acer announced two new designs based on Intel 8th-gen processors.

The Chromebase 2412 and its more button-down “Chromebase for Meetings 24Vs” variant hide all of their computer guts behind a 24-inch, 1080p touchscreen. Said guts include a maximum Core i7-8550U processor (a screamer for ChromeOS), 4-8GB of RAM, and 32-128GB of storage. The computers come with a USB-C port, plus four USB 3.1 ports, HDMI-out, an SD card slot, and an Ethernet port. Both machines have a standard VESA mount—a nice touch, and one that’s not always included for all-in-one designs.

Acer suggests the 2412 for standard all-in-one consumer duties, retail kiosks, or schools and libraries. The Chromebase for Meetings 24V2 also includes a 5MP front-facing webcam, and support for up to 100-person teleconferences using Google’s various G Suite chatting tools. A hundred.

As they run ChromeOS, both machines will get regular standardized updates from Google, and are compatible with both Chrome Web Store and Google Play (Android) apps. Unfortunately Acer declined to share release dates or prices for either model.

Anker is one of the biggest, most reliable names in portable batteries and charging technology. Now, Anker has made the first MFI certified USB-C to Lightning cable. It’s cheaper than Apple’s, and it’s available for pre-order.

Apple is slowly transitioning over to USB-C, but it’s too late for most of its products. Lightning cables are everywhere, and they’re going to make our USB-C future even more complicated. Thankfully, Apple has started selling some USB-C to Lightning cable to make things easier. But they cost $20.

Obviously, we need an alternative, and Anker has come to save the day. Anker’s PowerLine II cable will only cost $15, and it comes out on February 20th. To jump to the front of the line, you can pre-order the Anker Powerline II right now.

The low cost of the PowerLine II isn’t what makes it so special. Apple is notorious for keeping everything in the family. The company doesn’t like to work with 3rd parties, and as a consequence, 3rd party iPhone chargers tend to suck. But this is the first MFI certified USB-C to Lightning cable on the market. Apple worked with Anker to make sure that this product was up to specs, and that work should be reflected in the PowerLine’s quality and durability.

Plus, Anker claims that the PowerLine II cable has a “12,000” bend lifespan, so it must be pretty durable. How many other objects can be bent 12,000 times? Have you even bent your arm that many times? It’s a mystery. The only thing that we can say for sure is that the Powerline II is well worth your $15 investment.

Some newer Sony TVs have a built-in feature Sony calls “Motionflow,” which is Sony’s implementation of motion smoothing, and can make your TV’s image too smooth.

What Is Motionflow Anyway?

Motionflow works by increasing the framerate of the content you’re watching. The refresh rate on your display (usually 60hz or 120hz) is often much higher than the framerate of movies or TV (usually 24fps or 30fps). So by bumping the framerate up, it makes the most out of your TV’s high refresh rate.

It does this by guessing what the missing frames are, and inserting them between the real frames. However, it often ends up looking blurry, as it’s hard to get the in-between frames right. Also, high frame rates don’t look good for most content you’d watch on your TV, leading to a strange “soap opera effect” that can make your movies feel hyperreal.

RELATED: Why Does My New HDTV’s Picture Look Sped Up and “Smooth”?

How to Turn it Off Sony

Your TV may vary, but most Sony TVs hide the setting under the “Picture” settings in the menu. From here you can set different levels for Motionflow.

Sony

You should choose “Off” if you want to disable it entirely. Some TVs might hide it under an additional “Advanced Settings” tab. On Sony Android TVs, you can only disable Motionflow by enabling the TVs game mode (as Motionflow adds a lot of input lag, and should be off for games).

Sony seems to change their menus every year, and they vary by model, so if you have a problem in the future finding the option, it’s best to consult your TV’s manual, which you can find online.

Need a new cable or charger? Amazon has a handful of Anker accessories on sale for today only, including cables, wall chargers, car chargers, battery packs, and more.

You can grab a six-foot USB-C cable for just under $10, or go with a 10,000mAh battery pack for $26. They even have the Alexa-enabled Roav Viva car charger for $55, which puts Alexa right in your car.

If wireless charging is your thing, you can grab a 10W wireless charging pad for $17, which isn’t a bad price at all. Although if you don’t mind slow charging times, you can grab wireless chargers for a bit cheaper any day of the week.

In any case, Anker usually has great deals going on pretty frequently, but seeing as we’re big fans of Anker ourselves, we never shy away from any deal when it comes our way.

Watches are things that people like to put on their wrist and forget about. The Apple Watch is no different, except for the added functionality it offers. That’s great when it works, but if your watch isn’t vibrating when it’s supposed to, here’s how to fix it.

The Apple Watch is without a doubt the most popular smart watch on the market, and with the Apple Watch Series 4, Apple has upped the ante considerably. The problem is, as watches become ever smarter, they invariably start to suffer from the same kinds of software bugs that can befall any other computer. The Apple Watch has seen bugs of its own, and missing notifications because the watch isn’t vibrating is a pretty big one.

If you find yourself missing alarms, or even normal run-of-the-mill notifications from apps, that’s no good. Here are a couple of fixes that might help–hopefully, you’ve missed your last wake-up call.

Power Up Your Vibrations

The Apple Watch has always offered two different levels of vibration. There is the standard option, and a more vigorous Prominent Haptics one. We much prefer the more noticeable version, so we suggest trying that out first.

To start, open Settings on your Apple Watch and scroll down until you reach the bottom. Tap “Sounds & Haptics.”

Next, beneath Haptic Strength, turn on the “Prominent Haptic” toggle.

Nothing says welcome-to-the-future like a full surround sound system—but nothing says it’s-the-20th-century like speaker wires running all around the living room. Luckily you, thanks to wireless speakers, don’t have to re-wire your house to get rid of them.

There are a few surround sound kits that are wireless, at least for the rear 5.1 speakers, so you won’t have to worry about connecting the most cumbersome components. And a few soundbar kits, like the Samsung model below, offer upgrades for wireless rear speakers. For those who prefer the speakers they already have but don’t want a permanent installation, we’ve even found an adapter kit that can turn any speaker wireless with conventional A/V hookups, no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth required.

The Best All-Around Wireless Surround Sound Speaker Set: JBL Bar 5.1 ($600) JBL

On its own, this JBL soundbar looks like a conventional design, with a single central speaker bar and an included wireless subwoofer. But it’s hiding a secret: both ends of the bar pop off, with the rear speakers hiding an integrated wireless connection and even built-in batteries. It’s an elegant solution if you’re interested in wireless because you only watch surround sound content some of the time.

The Bar 5.1 isn’t skimping on features or power, either. It includes support for Dolby Digital surround, DTS, and Pro Logic II (though Atmos isn’t supported), and the package includes an impressive 510 watts of total power. Three HDMI connections and ARC support mean it will integrate easily with a simple TV or a full home theater setup. In fact, all you need to plug in are the power cables for the bar and subwoofer and an HDMI cord: everything else is ready to go. If you want a simple wireless sound system and your budget won’t stretch for the Sonos upgrade we’re about to look at, this is an excellent choice.

Buy on Amazon The Best Upgraded Wireless Surround Sound Speaker Set: Sonos Speakers Combo ($1496) Sonos

Sonos knows a thing or two about wireless speakers: everything they sell connects through their proprietary Wi-Fi system. If you’re looking for premium home audio that also integrates with a multi-room music setup, combine the Sonos Playbar, Sub, and two Play:1 individual speakers for a full 5.1 setup with all-wireless components. The set is available as a combined retail purchase.

All of Sonos’ individual speakers are high in component quality, though the direct connection to your TV is limited to optical cable. (Depending on your existing setup, you may be able to get wireless sound from a smart TV.) All of it is controllable via a standard TV remote, or the Sonos app on your phone, or voice command via Amazon Alexa. And if you’re ready to expand to the rest of your home, add extra Play:1 speakers (or any other Sonos speaker) and they’ll integrate automatically.

Buy on Amazon The Best Budget Wireless Surround Sound Speaker Set: Samsung Series 3 Soundbar ($240) Samsung

If the choices above are outside of your budget, check out this Samsung model. The Series 3 is a standard soundbar with a wireless subwoofer: 200 watts of power for a reasonable $170. But you can also add on a wireless pair of rear speakers designed specifically for the Series 3 for an extra hundred. Bundle the purchase at Best Buy and you get a discount, bringing the whole package to just $240.

Note that the wireless upgrade uses standard speaker wire to connect the wireless station to its satellites, so it’s only wireless in that it doesn’t need a hard connection to your television. But on the plus side, it will work with larger, more powerful satellites if you have them available.

A birthday isn’t something you might think of as being private information you should keep secret. Almost everyone celebrates them on social media, and quite a few people post them on their profile. That’s a horrible idea; here’s why.

It’s Probably One of Your Security Questions

Alongside the model of your first car and your mother’s maiden name, your birthday is perhaps the most common security question asked on most websites.

Security questions are notoriously awful. They’re likely the cause of most social media “hacks” online, including the 2014 iCloud breach that affected many celebrities. The fault is in password recovery systems; they’re designed for you to be able to reset your password easily, but they often make it easy for hackers to do the same. Brute-forcing your password on a website isn’t really a thing anymore, and most “hacks” you may experience either rely on you being caught in massive data breaches or having terrible security questions.

Like your birthday. It’s a wonder that it’s even still an option for the already insecure “security question protection,” since it’s much easier for a hacker to find out your birthday than “the street you grew up on.” Since it’s also one of the simplest and easy to remember questions, it’s probably picked very often. That’s an issue because many people leave it publicly posted on their profile, or at least leave up a list of “Happy Birthday!” posts every year. In fact, people give away a lot of answers to security questions in the form of “quizzes” shared around Facebook. Another day, another hilarious attack vector.

Even if your birthday isn’t the answer to an actual security question on your account, it’s still information that a person can use when they try to obtain access to your account through other means—like calling your service provider and pretending to be you.

It Functions as Your Password Sometimes

When I upgraded to a new phone at a Verizon store, they asked me for two things: my phone number and my birthday. Nothing else. They then proceeded to switch my entire phone line over to a new device. That’s a problem because those two easily-accessible numbers present an obvious attack vector against two-factor authentication.

Two-factor authentication (often called 2FA) is when a service sends a code to your phone (or asks for a code generated by an app), and you must enter that code in addition to your password. It’s a great way to enhance security. It’s also used often for account recovery, as nobody should have access to a device in your pocket except you. But if someone can virtually steal your phone number just by knowing your birthday, it compromises any service that relies on it.

And it’s not just your phone that could be vulnerable, this problem of “birthday-as-password” is prevalent in a lot of places. How many times have you been asked your birthday to verify something? It makes sense, as everyone has a birthday, so it’s easy for people to remember. It’s also fairly secure, as the number of days in a 30-year timespan is already more than the 10,000 possible four-digit PIN combos. But people don’t pin their PIN to the top of their Facebook profiles.

Do you roll your eyes and groan more than you laugh and smile when going through your various social media feeds? Then perhaps it’s time to clear out the social media clutter, Marie Kondo style.

Social Media Should Bring You Joy

Social media is often stressful. Following a lot of people is time-consuming, and it distracts you from the people and things that are truly important in your life. Your social media should bring you joy, whether it’s staying in touch with friends and family, learning new things you’re interested in, or just keeping up with your favorite celebrities or athletes. It shouldn’t be an endless feed of negative people, arguments, and things you don’t care about.

After all, if using social media doesn’t make you happy, then what’s the point of using it in the first place? Luckily, if you want to make a change, it’s possible, and Marie Kondo’s method for tidying up can help with that.

Who Is Marie Kondo?

If you haven’t noticed, decluttering has become a huge craze lately thanks to a new Netflix series called “Tidying Up with Marie Kondo.” It features a new family every episode and documents their journeys of decluttering their homes to live happier lives.

Marie Kondo is a decluttering expert who has written several books on the art of organization and getting rid of stuff you don’t need. Using the KonMari method (created by Kondo herself), viewers and readers are told to go through each of their items one-by-one and only keep things that “spark joy.” Everything else is tossed out (after thanking it, of course).

It’s not just about freeing up physical space in your home. You dispose of objects that don’t bring you joy to focus on objects that do. Likewise, tidying up your social media will let you focus on the people you care about—the ones that bring you joy.

The KonMari method includes five categories: Books, papers, komono (miscellaneous items), and sentimental items. Declutterers go through each category in their home one-by-one to make it easier to chip away at all the clutter.

All of this is really aimed at physical items in your home taking up space, but you can easily apply the KonMari method to social media. It’s easy to think that digital clutter isn’t a problem because we can just follow a bunch of people without it taking up any physical space, but it does take up space on our screens and in our minds. Following a lot of people on social media can be distracting, stressful, and time-consuming—just like dealing with clutter in your home.
