Review: Incipio Feather ultra-light case for the Samsung Galaxy S3

Text and photos by Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

The Samsung Galaxy S3's sleek profile and thin design make it one of the slickest devices to look at but its shiny plastic exterior makes it a bit too sleek to hold. Incipio's Feather case ($24.00) adds almost no weight or bulk but gives the Galaxy S3 a nice, luxurious texture while providing some protection.

HTC's flagship M7 smartphone makes another pre-launch appearance as the HTC ONE

 

By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla

Above is another render of the rumoured HTC M7 (now said to be renamed HTC ONE) flagship smartphone which we first saw a month ago.

Shared on Twitter by @Evleaks, the new render is more refined than the previous image and gives us a better idea of the updated Sense UI. In terms of design, this seems like quite a stunning handset. A large glass display surrounced by metal at the top and bottom. The edges or chamfers seems to have been precision cut (not unlike the iPhone 5 and the iPad mini). The overall all look reminds me of the white iPhone 5 and the white BlackBerry Z10. Interesting to see that so many handset makers are now going for this look. Another curious but telling detail is the February 19 date on the screen which is when HTC has an actual event in New York. I'll be on hand at that event covering it live so we'll get the details on whatever HTC has in store.

It features a 6000 mAh battery delivers up to 27 hours of talk time. Perfect for those 13-hour plane layovers, eh?
