TheOpenCase

A phone case company that makes MagSafe the best it can be by making accessories thinner, more secure, and the case is way lighter.

When I created OpenCase, I wanted to create a thinner, lighter iPhone case that would end sliding around and shearing off accessories. Over time, I would discover additional benefits, including that our OpenCase MagSafe Case's design supports optimized wireless charging.

@gruber I have suggested this before, and given that today is the 20 year anniversary of the podcast @macosken (Mac OS Ken) I figured I would suggest it again. You should really have Ken Ray on as a guest. I can only imagine how good that conversation would be, considering the deep knowledge of the two of you, and the immense intellect between you all as well. And, considering all the stuff going on in the Apple world these days🤯 My gosh that would be an awesome show.

I wanted to wish @macosken a Happy Anniversary after 20 years of his podcast, Mac OS Ken. I've listened to every show since it started and can't recommend it any more highly. It's a daily dose of what is happening in the Apple world, delivered in a fun and thoughtful way. Give it a listen if you aren't already. You will be better for it.
Congratulations Ken.
Keep up the great work!

We are so excited to share that OpenCase was featured in Wired's article "The Best iPhone 17 Cases and Accessories". What started as something I did in my garage for friends that morphed into a Kickstarter and has been chugging along as a tiny, little start-up of my wife and I.. it's such an incredible honor to be highlighted.

@marcoarment @_Davidsmith I never missed a single episode of Under The Radar over its decade run. Heard the last episode this weekend and was gutted. I never ended up getting into app development, even though I thought about it. I was to much on the hardware side of things. Thanks for a great 10 years guys.

Those hingeneers have been hard at work.

Google published a deeper dive on the Pixel 10 Pro Fold’s new folding mechanism, highlighting the work of the hingeneers and as MKBHD christened them. The blog post offers a few more details on the process to create the gearless mechanism, which instead relies on CAMs to turn the rotational motion of the hinge into linear motion. It’s interesting stuff, and the beefed up dust resistance is no joke.
