The Google Pixel 10a is the lates a series device from Google and as I always say and do is case up I do this with all phones and as a Pixel device is in my hand all year round the firs tthing to do is get a case this is the official case and we have others coming so watch out for those reviews soon and of course the Pixel 10a itself which is almost done with a full hands on review.
This case is simple and to the point it covers all corners leaves access to ports and speakers and gives you additonal grip, there is a lip on the front which also allows for screen protection so it can be placed face down and of course rear down since the little edge is now gone from the camera area.
The buttons are tactile and work well making the case experience overall better to have on than off and yes many like the naked feel of their phone but it is better to be safe than sorry no matter the price of the phone.
There is no Magnet in the case so keep that in mind but it still charges wirelessly which is fine but for putting if you are a house full of MagSafe accessories like phone stands and the likes you might want to get another one.

GAMEBABY consists of two parts that attach to your phone. As a phone case, both parts attach to the back. As a controller, flip the lower part to the front, and your phone instantly becomes a retro gaming handheld. Enjoy gaming on-the-go with GAMEBABY’s versatile design. So if you are a gamer on mobile this is certainly something for you to check out.
GAMEBABY supports GB, GBC, GBA, and NES button layouts, with custom emulator skins for perfect compatibility across various handheld console layouts right on your iPhone 17 pro or other compatible phones. You will need to download apps to get this case to work and it may take two apps depending on your region for me in Ireland I had to download two apps being altspace and delta emulator and delta being the main app where you can add skins and game ROMS in order to use the case to its full potential.
GAMEBABY needs no charging, Bluetooth pairing, or complex setup. Just flip the lower part to the front anytime, anywhere to start gaming and a first I have seen in such phone case offerings where a charge is needed via phone or bluetooth connection so this is a simple slap on and get playing with no faffing around to some extent.
How it works
Accessory: The GAMEBABY is a two-piece case that acts as a physical controller when the phone is not in use as a regular case.
Physical buttons: The bottom piece of the case contains physical buttons that operate by pressing on the screen to mimic touch inputs.
Game compatibility: It works with the Delta emulator to play games from systems such as NES, Game Boy, Game Boy Color, and Game Boy Advance.
Emulator setup: To use the physical buttons, you need to download the Delta emulator from the App Store and a custom skin that aligns the on-screen controls with the physical buttons on the case.
Overall it is not your typical phone case but ads more to the usual slap on and go it is functional and retro and enables you to open a new world of gaming on your iPhone.
The process of handling someone’s estate after they pass away has traditionally been paper-heavy, time-consuming, and emotionally draining.
However, that landscape is changing rapidly. New digital tools and online systems are streamlining probate, helping executors and families settle estates with greater efficiency and less stress. Consider seeking support from probate solicitors, who can help you understand how technology is transforming probate in 2025 and can help you plan ahead with confidence.
What Is Probate – and Why It’s Changing
Probate is the legal process of proving a will, settling debts, and distributing assets according to the deceased’s wishes. Historically, it has required multiple physical documents, court visits, and extensive communication between solicitors, executors, and financial institutions.
But as more public services and private platforms move online, the probate system is evolving too. The UK Government’s Digital Probate Service now allows executors to apply for probate online, upload necessary documentation, and track the progress of applications in real time.
These changes save time, reduce administrative errors, and make the process less intimidating for families managing grief.
For a step-by-step guide on applying for probate, visit this resource.
How Technology Simplifies Estate Administration
Technology is reducing some of the most stressful and time-consuming aspects of probate. Here’s how:
Digital Will Storage and Access
Many people now choose to store their wills digitally with secure providers or law firms. This ensures documents can be accessed quickly, reducing delays and the risk of losing vital paperwork. Some services even notify executors automatically when a death is registered.
Online Asset Tracing
Executors used to spend weeks tracking down bank accounts, insurance policies, and investments. Now, AI-powered asset tracing tools can search financial institutions and flag accounts linked to the deceased within hours. This ensures estates are valued accurately and nothing is overlooked.
Automated Estate Valuation
Specialist software can now estimate the value of certain assets — including property, shares, and pensions — with greater speed and accuracy. This helps solicitors prepare inheritance tax submissions more efficiently.
Cloud-Based Collaboration Between Solicitors and Executors
In the past, managing probate required endless paper trails and phone calls. Today, solicitors and executors can work together on secure cloud-based platforms. Documents can be shared, signed, and updated in real time, ensuring everyone stays informed.
This transparency not only saves time but also helps families understand what stage their case is at — reducing anxiety during what is already an emotionally difficult time.
For many law firms, embracing cloud systems has also strengthened data security and compliance with the UK GDPR.
AI and Predictive Case Management
Artificial intelligence is beginning to play a greater role in probate administration. Machine learning algorithms can predict potential delays, flag missing documents, and even generate reminders for key deadlines.
Some firms are also using AI to review historic case data and identify patterns that could help speed up future applications. This ensures executors receive faster, more consistent support from their solicitors.
While AI won’t replace the compassion and judgement of experienced legal professionals, it does make their work more efficient and accessible.
The Rise of Digital Inheritance
As people increasingly own digital assets — from cryptocurrency to online accounts — probate law is evolving to accommodate them. Executors must now consider how to recover and manage these digital legacies.
Solicitors are advising clients to include instructions for accessing digital assets in their wills, ensuring families can recover sentimental or financial value that might otherwise be lost.
The Law Society provides further information on making a will.
Challenges of a Digital Probate System
While the shift to technology offers many benefits, it isn’t without challenges. Some families still struggle with digital literacy or lack reliable internet access. Additionally, cybersecurity risks mean firms must ensure that sensitive information is handled with care.
Solicitors play an essential role in bridging this gap — combining digital tools with personal support, ensuring accuracy, and protecting clients from fraud or misinformation.
What the Future Holds
Looking ahead, the next wave of innovation may include blockchain technology for secure record-keeping, digital ID verification to prevent fraud, and even virtual assistants to guide executors through applications step by step.
These advancements will continue to make probate faster, fairer, and more transparent. But one thing won’t change: the need for empathy and expert guidance during a time of loss.
