Review: Nomad leather case for iPhone 8 Plus

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

One of the best things about the new iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus is that they can use cases from last year's model. This means that unlike newer models with entirely new designs, consumers don't have to wait around for the new cases to come in.

I've actually been using the Nomad leather case with my iPhone 7 Plus and while I dound the fit wasn't as good as the Apple leather case, it did grow on me for a number of reasons.

Shoot from the hip with COVR iPhone 6 case

Shooting from the hip takes on a new meaning with the COVR Photo Camera-Lens Case for iPhone 6 case. This accessory is a Kickstarter project for veteran photojournalist Thomas Hurst, who aims to help smartphone photographers take more candid, natural shots. Although, admittedly its design also makes it seem the perfect tool for taking more surreptitious shots. The COVR case comes with a high-quality prism lens that you slide over the camera. You can snap photos easily with your phone down, looking like you’re just tinkering with your phone.

COVR is aiming to raise US$25,000 on Kickstarter. A $55 pledge will get you cover for the iPhone 6 and $75 will get you the case as well as a portfolio print signed by Hurst.
