Maybe certain circumstances prevented the revenues behemoth from doing this, but hey, at least now you can make your very own Live Case. Yep, those unique little things that

Posted on April 2, 2016 by Juan Carlos Bagnell

There are a number of different options for customizing a smartphone, and the most obvious is of course slapping a case on your phone. There are a number of companies that produce adhesive skins for various phones, usually synthetic, sticker like solutions, but lately a trend towards “natural fibers” are supplying people with unique ways to tailor fit a phone to an individual’s personal style. Toast is a funky company up in Portland Oregon, who championed real wood tech skins several years ago. All products are designed and manufactured in the United States, and their ...

If you’ve been hanging around Pocketnow for the past few weeks, you know of our recently rekindled interest in Google’s Nexus 6.

Will the Moto X kickstart a new era of customizable smartphones?

Posted on August 9, 2013 by Michael Fisher

We adore the Lumia 1020, Nokia’s beastly camera-with-a-phone-tacked-on, and we said so in our full review last month. But we don’t just love the device because it’s the best you can get on Windows Phone, or because of its stunning 41MP shooter.

Google’s Moto X, the ...
