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.

Four months following the initial S25 line launch, which included the S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra, Samsung surprised us with its thinnest phone yet – the Galaxy S25 Edge. It gives us the option to go thinner with our daily mobile phones, but can we trust that it’s durable enough for everyday carry?
We can’t tell for now, but we do think this thin phone deserves the best thin case that can preserve its main idea – sleek, slim design, and lightweight. We’re glad to have found the S25 Edge case that just works and complements this new model.
Why a Thin S25 Edge Case?
The S25 Edge brings a sleek design that feels like holding a piece of glass and metal – light, elegant, and minimalist. That same slim design also makes it more prone to accidental bumps and scratches. That’s why a thin case is essential: it’s the best compromise between protection and preserving the original feel of your S25 Edge.What Makes the Best Thin Case?
Choosing a thin case for the Galaxy S25 Edge can be more crucial than you think. You can’t risk a case that’s too thin with no protection, nor is a rugged, bulky case that hides this device away.
While general looks matter, it’s about enhancing the phone’s usability without compromising its slim design.
Here’s what separates the bestthin case from the rest:
Lightweight Build – A thin case should add minimal weight and bulk, preserving the S25 Edge’s impressively sleek form factor. You shouldn’t feel like you’ve put on armor (the phone should still slide easily into your pocket or bag).
Premium Materials – Look for cases made from high-quality materials like aramid fiber, polycarbonate, or flexible TPU. Aramid fiber, for instance, is known for being lightweight yet durable, offering resistance to scratches and scuffs. Polycarbonate and TPU also balance protection and flexibility, giving you a case that feels as good as it looks.
Precise Fit – A thin case must hug the S25 Edge closely, with no loose edges or misaligned cutouts. It should align perfectly with the phone’s curves, ensuring no wobble or discomfort when holding it.
Button Sensitivity and Tactile Feel – A thin case shouldn’t make your phone’s buttons feel stiff or unresponsive. The best ones maintain the natural clickiness and responsiveness of the volume and power buttons, so you don’t lose any of that satisfying tactile feedback.
Ultimately, the best thin case for the Galaxy S25 Edge is the one that keeps it safe and looking as slim as Samsung designed it to be.
Our Top Pick: ThinBorne Best Thin S25 Edge Case
After testing several cases, we recommend ThinBorne’s aramid fiber thin S25 Edge case. It’s designed specifically for the device, and below, we’ll explain why we think it’s a solid pick.
Ultra-thin profile
Measuring just 0.04 inches and weighing only 0.68 ounces, it keeps your S25 Edge as slim as possible while adding a subtle layer of protection.
600D Premium aramid fiber
Made from high-quality 600D aramid fiber, this case is lightweight, durable, and highly resistant to scratches and scuffs. You get a premium material that matches the feel of the S25 Edge.
Sleek feel
The matte finish not only looks refined but also feels comfortable and grippy in hand. It’s easy to hold and won’t slip out of your fingers.
Full MagSafe compatibility
ThinBorne’s case integrates perfectly with MagSafe accessories. From Qi2 wireless chargers to wallets and stands, everything snaps into place without issue.
Convenient access and precise fitment
All buttons, ports, and camera lenses remain fully accessible and protected. The cutouts are precise, so there’s no fumbling or misalignment.
Carbon fiber texture for added grip
The subtle carbon fiber texture along the back adds extra grip, making it easier to hold the phone securely during daily use.
In short, ThinBorne’s thin case for the Galaxy S25 Edge delivers a slim, protective, and premium feel, complementing the phone’s own minimalist design.
Some Drawbacks of This Case
While the ThinBorne Galaxy S25 Edge case offers excellent protection and maintains the phone’s slim feel, it does come with a few trade-offs.
Its ultra-thin build means it won’t provide the same drop protection as a bulkier rugged case, so if you’re someone who often drops your phone, you might want to be more cautious.
The aramid fiber texture also has a subtle matte finish, which feels great but might not appeal to those who prefer a glossy or tactile grip.
For most users who want a case that’s thin, sleek, and blends seamlessly with the S25 Edge’s design, these minor trade-offs are well worth it.
Final Thoughts
This case is undoubtedly the stunner among all similar thin cases. If you’re embracing the slim build of the Galaxy S25 Edge, don’t let a bulky case ruin it. A thin, precision-fit S25 Edge case like ThinBorne keeps your phone safe and stylish, and that’s what this phone deserves.

Its precision fit wraps securely around your phone, maintaining easy access to all ports and functions.
