The best iPhone 6 case (so far)
This post was done in partnership with The Wirecutter, a list of the best technology to buy. Read the full article below at TheWirecutter.com.
After surveying almost 1,000 Wirecutter readers and testing close to 100 iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus cases over a period of about 50 hours (so far), our current pick for the best all-around case is the NGP from Incipio. The NGP line has protected several generations of iPhones (and many other devices) and has a reputation for providing solid protection and a good fit at a great price. It’s slim enough not to detract from the iPhone 6’s svelte dimensions while still offering comprehensive protection for the handset’s body, including its buttons. Openings along the bottom allow for compatibility with a wide range of accessories.
How we picked
Our first round of cases for testing. We’ve since tested many, many more.
Truth is, there are plenty of good iPhone cases out there. A bad case is actually a pretty rare thing. But in looking for a few cases that work for most people, we sought out a case that can adequately protect your phone without adding too much bulk or unnecessary embellishment while doing so. Apple sets forth very specific guidelines for case developers, with the main thesis being, “A well-designed case will securely house an Apple device while not interfering with the device’s operation.”
From our perspective, a respectable degree of shock absorption is important, as is a tight fit. The case should cover as much of the iPhone’s body as possible, including a raised lip around the screen to keep the display from getting scratched when laying flat on a surface. The best cases also offer button protection with great tactility, mimicking (or in some instances even enhancing) what you’d feel with a bare iPhone.
Our pick
The NGP from Incipio in translucent teal.
Incipio’s NGP ($10 at street prices) is the best iPhone 6 case for most people because it offers full-body protection against drops and scuffs while adding minimal bulk. Including the protective lip around the screen, the case adds a little more than 2 millimeters to the total thickness of the handset, which is about half the extra thickness of our previous pick, Speck’s CandyShell. While those with butterfingers may benefit from the extra protection provided by the CandyShell’s dual-layer design, the NGP’s slimmer-but-still-shock-absorbent profile offers the best compromise between protection and aesthetics.
The NGP is made out of a single piece of flexible polymer material that the company calls Flex2O. This sounds fancy, but it’s really just a variant of standard thermoplastic polyurethane, which you may know as TPU. But there are a lot of TPU cases that can be had for half as much as the NGP, so why pay extra? It comes down to little things like fit, button feel, and quality control. As with all good cases, port openings are properly aligned and buttons depress readily without requiring noticeably more pressurethe button protection doesn’t dampen the clicking sensation. This is important because even a little unpleasantness adds up to a lot of annoyance when repeated dozens of times each day.
The iPhone 6 Plus edition of the NGP is an equally strong pick.
Flaws but not dealbreakers
There are only two small issues with the case. The first is the height of the screen lip. At 0.6 mm tall, it falls below the 1-mm threshold Apple recommends in its case-developer guide. But we feel it’s enough to still adequately protect the screen.
The other issue is even more of a trifle. A black ring around the camera opening is meant to help prevent color issues when the flash is used for photos. On our first review unit, the paint was slightly unevennot enough to affect pictures, but enough that perfectionists might notice. However, we haven’t seen the same issue on subsequent samples of the case.
Other great cases
The Speck CandyShell offers more protection if you’re prone to drops.
If you’re the type of person who’s always cashing in on AppleCare, we suggest something with more protection, such as Speck’s CandyShell ($35), our previous top pick. The two layers of materialplastic on the outside, rubber on the insideoffer more protection than cases that are just one or the other. At 10.9 mm thick, the CandyShell is on the chunky side, but it doesn’t feel especially thick, and it’s one of the only cases we tested that meets military drop-test standards. A wide range of colors is available, as well as variants with rubbery grips (CandyShell Grip), credit card holders (CandyShell Card), or graphic prints (CandyShell Inked). Unfortunately, the company doesn’t offer the standard CandyShell for the iPhone 6 Plus, but you can get the CandyShell Grip and CandyShell Inked; each is a very good option.
If you’d rather not carry a phone and a wallet, we recommend CM4’s Q Card Case ($40). The body is sturdy rubber and fits securely, protruding in front to form a 0.8-mm screen lip. On the back, there’s a faux-leather pocket that can hold up to three cards, plus some cash. (Without any cards in the Q Card Case’s sleeve, the case is only about a millimeter thicker than the standard CandyShell; its thickness increases with the thickness of each card you add.) While the sleeve can’t hold more than three cards, the growing availability of Apple Pay and other electronic-payment options makes using the Card Case more viable than it was just a year or two ago. Again, there’s an equally strong model for the iPhone 6 Plus.
The Q Card Case can hold up to three cards, replacing the need for a wallet for some.
The problem with many cases is they prevent you from using your phone with dock-cradle speakers and similar accessories. STM’s Harbour ($25) addresses this problem better than any other case thanks to a flip-open bottom. Similar in construction to the CandyShell but costing $10 less, the matte-finish Harbour is smaller in every dimension. There’s a model for the iPhone 6 Plus, too.
The biggest advantage to the Harbour is that flip-open bottom. When closed, the case’s bottom edge has one opening for the phone’s headphone jack and microphone and a second opening for the Lightning-connector port. While these openings are large enough to work with many accessories, you can flip the bottom 1.25 inches of the case up and behind on a rubber hinge, allowing full access to the bottom of the phone for docking or compatibility with larger accessories. It’s a best-of-both-worlds scenario: full protection during normal use and accessory access when you need it. We tested the strength of the hinge by bending it back and forth 250 times, and we saw no wear; we first recommended the Harbour in October 2014, and we’ve received only a single reader complaint about durability with the hinge.
Many cases designed to add minimal bulk also provide minimal protectionthey prevent scratches, but they won’t absorb much of the shock of a drop onto concrete. So we don’t recommend these cases for most people. That said, many people (including a number of Wirecutter editors) want a super-thin case and are willing to sacrifice shock protection for it, so we took a look at some of the better options available. Caudabe’s The Veil comes in versions for iPhone 6 ($15) and iPhone 6 Plus ($16). At only 0.35 mm thick, the plastic case almost disappears when installed on the handset, and it’s the only case of the style we’ve come across to offer a small lip around the screen as well as a raised ridge around the phone’s protruding rear camera for protection.
Apple’s own cases are actually pretty good, especially the Leather option.
We also have an editor’s choice case. Apple’s $45 Leather Case isn’t as protective as our other picks, but we like it anyway. It leaves the bottom edge of your iPhone exposed, and it won’t wear as well (in terms of durability) over time as plastic, but it offers enough coverage to protect the handset from the majority of scuffs and minor drops. And at 9 mm thick, it’s one of the thinner cases around that still has a lip protecting the screen. The iPhone 6 Plus version costs a few dollars more. The lighter color options show dirt sooner than one might like (though one man’s “dirt” is another’s coveted patina, making the case more unique), but it looks and feels great overall, especially in darker colors. It’s like the difference between a hiking boot and a leather dress bootsure the hiking boot is more protective and comfortable, but if you’re not hiking, sometimes it’s worth forgoing a bit of protection and comfort for style and luxury points. Several of our senior editors use Apple’s Leather Case as their day-to-day case.
In closing
There are a lot of good choices when it comes to iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus cases, but the best pick is the NGP. Protective and inexpensive without sacrificing aesthetics, it’s the case to beat going forward. We’ll continue to test it over the long term and see how it fares as newer cases are released.

Spotify ads cater to the mood of your music
Targeted advertising isn’t a new concept, and Spotify is looking to examine your playlist habits before serving up those messages. The streaming service offers a library of curated mixes based on genre and mood, and eager advertisers can now leverage a listener’s state of mind to sell their products. Playlist Targeting is the official name of the feature, with collections of tracks for Chill, Party, Workout, Romance, Sleep and more providing the opportunity for brands to woo would-be customers. Spotify says 41 of its top 100 playlists are context related (like the mood options), and users spend an average of nearly 2.5 hours listening a day. That’s a lot of time for Trojan ads during the Bedroom Jams playlist.

Chrome OS stable channel update brings Chrome Launcher 2.0 and more
Late last month Google introduced a new update for Chrome OS to the beta channel which brought several changes to the table, including Google Now integration and an improved voice search experience with the Chrome Launcher 2.0. Now that same experience is making its way over to the stable channel.
While the Google Now-like improvements are the most significant news here, Chrome OS is also seeing a Material Design update for the Files app, an update Calculator app, support for password-protected zips, and the default typeface for Chromebooks is being updated to Roboto in order to be “more consistent with Material Design”. You can also expect a number of bug fixes and performance improvements.
The latest update bumps Chrome OS’ version number to 42.0.2311.87, and is expected to reach all users in the next few weeks. For more details on what to expect, be sure to head on over to the official Chrome blog.

Virtual reality stole my dance with Bjork
Maximum Bjorkness! That’s what I came in expecting at MoMA PS1, the Museum of Modern Art’s Queens-based offshoot, where the famous musician/distressing fashionista’s new virtual reality exhibit is on display. “Stonemilker,” a lilting, melancholy track from her new album Vulnicura, is the basis for Bjork’s foray into VR. Considering the freaky name — Stone milk? Gross. — the harrowing emotional subject matter of her new record and the tech, you can understand why I arrived ready to get weird.
This is the same person that turned the song “All is Full of Love” into a Chris Cunningham-directed video that forces you to confront the sexual nadir of the Uncanny Valley. This is the artist who helped Lars von Trier make a movie about a singing blind woman that simultaneously fills you with awe at the world’s beauty and makes you want to die because of its cruelty. Now she’s made an album boldly chronicling the dissolution of her marriage to artist Matthew Barney and filtered that through virtual reality filmmaking? Sign me up.
Much to my disappointment, however, the “Stonemilker” experience is neither as strange nor as harrowing as I’d hoped it would be. It was beautiful and intriguing, but it was also irreparably hindered by the inherent limitations of VR gear.
Inside the Stonemilker exhibit at MoMA PS1.
Rather than present an ethereal fantasy world of robot ladies and techno-organic sprites, the exhibit itself feels almost nostalgically familiar when you enter. A small dome set up just inside PS1’s entry, it’s kind of like a sturdier version of an elementary school planetarium, only full of hipsters instead of children. The room is dark, save for a dusky image of Iceland’s volcanic coastline projected on the ceiling, and the soft sound of waves crashing fills up the interior without ever becoming too loud. It’s inviting and warm, but still strange and scary: a perfect atmosphere for the music on Vulnicura. In the center are a series of stools you’re required to sit on so you can spin around in 360 degrees after strapping on a pair of sharp headphones and an Oculus Rift headset to enter “Stonemilker.”
The compulsion to dance with her as the song goes on is almost overwhelming. But no, you have to remain seated on the stool.
Andrew Thomas Huang’s seven-minute virtual reality video for “Stonemilker” is actually quite lovely. Bjork herself stands before you on the same coastline projected in the dome outside your helmet of technology. Wearing a billowing green dress, she sings about the moment when one person in a relationship sees things clearly and the other doesn’t; when their ability to feel changes and blooms while their partner’s calcifies. She spins around you, and you in turn spin around on the stool to follow her, and before long she’s split into two and three people filling your view. Rather than a ghostly effect, it all feels like living in the moment of a memory. Was she standing next to me while I looked at the lighthouse in the distance or behind me? Could I see her when she described getting me to talk like “milking a stone?” Even the gauzy pixelation of the Oculus Rift’s screens — often referred to as the “screen door effect” that newer models help alleviate — makes the video feel like something slightly unreal.
As the minutes clock by while the music dips and swells, though, the confines of that damn stool start to chaff the brain. I can only spin around and try to follow the singer as she dots the landscape, staring at the sky or blackened ground every now and again to try and push at the edges of just how far the technology will let me go. Forget walking over to where she’s standing or to the waves hitting the rocks. Lean too far from center and the image starts to warp, Bjork’s face getting comically big like a member of the Peanuts gang. The compulsion to dance with her as the song goes on is almost overwhelming. But no, you have to remain seated on the stool.
Headdress art (is that what that is?) from Bjork’s MoMA retrospective.
Of course you have to sit on the stool! Even if Oculus’ tech did offer free roaming, which it doesn’t, you’d still be locked to the stool. Not only would giving you free reign over the beach damage the choreography already in place, but also the exhibit space itself would be a nightmare! Imagine bespectacled, bearded dudes and chicks in pastel-hued Lisa Loeb glasses bumping into each other left and right, damaging the VR helmets and creating a lawsuit quagmire for the museum in the process. The stool allows for a coherent artistic vision and a safe audience space even as it leaves you feeling trapped.
The argument could be made that isolation is the point. “Stonemilker” is, after all, a song about an ever-widening chasm between two people. The roles in VR work are still undefined, but whether you’re a viewer, listener or participant here, you’re still always divorced from the performer. The multitude of Bjorks pirouetting around your fixed position brings that gulf into stark relief.
Intentional or not, “Stonemilker” doesn’t quite work. Any kind of emotional resonance created by your near-separation from the work is drowned out by the physical alienation of the technology itself. Regardless, for fans of Bjork, it’s still worth a visit. “Stonemilker” is still a lovely song and the exhibit’s still a cool space even if the Bjorkness on display isn’t at extra strength.

Virgin Media blames TV rights auction for rising Sky Sports prices
Virgin Media is still trying to persuade Ofcom to change the way Premier League TV rights are auctioned in the UK. The company filed a complaint with the regulator last September, complaining that the current system — a limited number of match “bundles” which broadcasters bid for every few years — is leading to higher prices for the consumer. Ofcom said it would look into the matter, but failed to draw any conclusions before the most recent TV rights auction finished earlier this year. The rivalry between Sky and BT meant that bidding increased to a record £5.1 billion — £4.2 billion of which was spent by Sky. Now, Virgin Media is telling its TV customers that they’ll soon need to pay more for Sky Sports and Sky Movies. From June 1st, these extras will go up by £2 per month and 50p per month respectively, due to increases in the amounts Sky is charging Virgin Media.
Normally, any price rise would paint Virgin Media as the villain, but here, the company is using the decision as ammunition against Sky and the Premier League. The argument being that if the auctions were set up differently, these increases could be avoided: broadcasters wouldn’t need to bid so much, and more companies would have access to live TV broadcasting. The knock-on effect would be cheaper wholesale prices between broadcasters and cheaper subscriptions for viewers. In short, Virgin Media is saying that it doesn’t want to increase its prices, but with the current setup its hands are tied.
Sky’s response? Yes, its wholesale costs have changed, but Virgin Media ultimately sets the price for its own customers. A Sky spokesperson said: “This year we’ll bring customers even more of the TV and movies they want to watch as well as an unrivalled choice of top quality sport. How much Virgin choose to charge their customers for this is up to them.”
Ofcom is still looking into the matter, and says it could enforce changes retroactively for the most recent Premier League auction. The latest bidding takes effect from the 2016/17 season, so there’s still time for the regulator to step in, should it find reason to do so.

Apple Pay reportedly headed to Canada this fall
Canadian iPhone users will finally be able to use Apple Pay this fall, according to the Wall Street Journal. Sources say Apple is in discussions with six major Canadian banks, including Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank and National Bank of Canada, to launch its mobile payment service in the country in November. The big sticking points for many of the banks, though, are the fees Apple would take from every transaction, as well as security issues around authenticating cards, which has been a problem for some U.S. banks. If everything pans out, it would make Canada the first territory to get Apple Pay outside of the U.S. The WSJ notes that Canada’s high iPhone penetration is one reason Apple may be focusing on it. iPhones make up a third of all smartphones in Canada, compared to just 20 percent globally, according to research company Catalyst.

Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 pre-order price lowered to $199 through April 20
This spring, Alcatel OneTouch is preparing to release their Idol 3 handset that offers respectable specifications at an affordable price. The Idol 3 has a 5.5-inch display with 1920×1080 resolution, front-facing speakers from JBL, Android 5.0 Lollipop, and a 13MP rear camera. All of this is packaged together for $279 seems like a fair price, right? Sure, but you can pre-order the Idol 3 for even less through April 20.
Alcatel OneTouch is hosting a pre-sale that lowers the Idol 3’s price to $199 that ends on Monday. The pre-order price then increases a still-discounted $249. The Idol 3 is an unlocked device working on GSM networks including AT&T and T-Mobile, so giving the Alcatel OneTouch’s latest handset a look isn’t such a bad idea.

Exclusive: Huawei to offer same-day replacement for faulty P8’s
One reason that Apple iPhones have sold so well is the in-store support offered by the network of Apple Stores. But Android manufacturers haven’t been able to offer similar levels of support. Most Android manufacturers – Samsung aside – don’t really have a retail empire, so they can’t offer same-day fixes and replacements for broken phone.
Huawei’s new VIP service hopes to offer a similar support experience without the retail empire by offering a same-day replacement service for customers who buy the new P8. A source inside the company told us that Huawei VIP will launch in the UK for customers who buy the P8 and will offer a same-day courier replacement for customers who have faulty handsets.

Customers who buy the P8 will be able to call a dedicated phone number and speak to a Huawei customer support representative who will then diagnose the problem. If the issue is determined to be covered under warranty, it will be deemed eligible for a same-day warranty replacement (or next-day if you’re after the cut off period). In order for the replacement handset to be dispatched, Huawei will require a £100 deposit to cover against faults not covered under warranty.
Huawei VIP is only launching in the UK at the moment but the company may roll this out to other markets. Our source told us that Huawei VIP will also be available on the P8 Lite, which was rumoured to be announced alongside the P8 but wasn’t made official by the company at the launch.
Huawei VIP is similar to the service offered by Huawei’s e-commerce brand Honor, who offer a VIP replacement service for faulty Honor 6 and Honor 6 Plus handsets in the UK. Huawei will also offer a guaranteed two-to-five day repair (plus one day for shipping) for non-flagship handsets and it’s expected that Huawei VIP could also roll out to other handsets above a certain price in the future.
Hands-on with the humongous Huawei P8 Max
Every flagship needs a bigger brother or at least that’s how it seems smartphone manufacturers are thinking. Apple have the iPhone 6 Plus, Sony have the Xperia Z Ultra, HTC have the One M9 Plus and even Huawei are getting in on the act with the P8 Max.
Announced alongside the P8 in London, the P8 Max is a larger-than-life phablet that really pushes the size boundaries of a smartphone. Featuring an incredibly large 6.8-inch Full HD IPS-Neo JDI display, the Huawei P8 Max shares the same design philosophy as the P8 and brings a supremely thin metal unibody build that measures just 6.8mm thick.
Despite being only Full HD resolution – remember, we’ve previously heard that Huawei won’t sacrifice battery life for a Quad HD or Ultra HD display – the JDI screen appears vibrant in low light conditions with the 1500:1 contrast ratio ensuring an outstanding display visual experience. Above the display we have the 8MP front facing camera, which comes with a wide-angle view and Huawei’s Beauty Level feature to accentuate your best facial features when taking selfies.

On the back, the P8 Max has a 13MP camera that comes with optical image stabilisation and dual-color dual-LED flash. Huawei has added software features to the camera including a new light paint feature (to capture light trails and really impressive night photos), a director mode that combines photos from multiple cameras to create a professional movie and a time-lapse feature that takes images captured at multiple intervals and stitches them together.
One of most impressive things about the P8 Max (and the P8) is that, despite the camera have a large sensor and optical image stabilisation, it sits completely flush with the super slim body and doesn’t protrude in any way. From first testing with the P8 (the P8 Max’s smaller sibling) which shares the same camera, the P8 Max camera is very capable and produces good quality images in any lighting.

At just 6.8mm thick and weighing just 228 grams, the Huawei P8 Max is a lot nicer to use than you might guess from such a large handset. Powered by an octa-core 64-bit Kirin 930 processor (in big.LITTLE formation) with 3GB RAM, the P8 Max has smooth performance with no visible signs of lag.
The P8 Max will be available in two versions when it launches in a month’s time (both with 3GB RAM and a microSD card expansion slot); the standard version will have have 16GB storage and cost €549 (before taxes and subsidies) in either Titanium Grey or Mystic Champagne, whilst the Premium version costs €649, comes with 64GB storage and will be available in Titanium Grey or Prestige Gold.
With both the P8 and the P8 Max, Huawei isn’t waiting around to bring them to market. The P8 will launch later this month in 35 countries around the world before rolling out to 100 countries in total in a month’s time whilst the P8 Max will follow the same launch pattern but launch a month after the P8 is available.
