Ringke have sent over some of their cases to check out for the iPhone 11 and this company is another company I recommend checking out if you are in the market for a new case for your shiny new smartphone.
Ringke cases are affordable and come in many variants for you to pick from which is nice and they have a vast array of cases and more for most smartphones out there today. Both these cases are ideal for your smartphone with two different styles at hand.

The Onyx has a really nice metal brushed finish and the Fusion offers more with impact protection but both cases are made with TPU and have the drop test standard today we see in most phone cases from reputable case makers. Check out the video and image below for more and click the link in description to see what Ringke have on offer for your smartphone.. There is lots.
Ringke have sent us some cases to check out for the Google Pixel 4 which will add great protection to your device, We also have some cases done for the Pixel 3a if you missed that over HERE.
The Fusion cases are simplistic in design and not bulky yet add maximum protection a case should offer for your smartphone. With a tapered lip around the front of the device from top and and bottom inward the phone can be placed face down and on the rear the raised camera hump is well sorted here and this is below surface level which protects the entire hump so it is also great for those who like to keep their device face up.

With the edges of the case also tapered it gives you better grip and is comfortable to hold and the keys are also angled inward making it easy to navigate them, With small bumpers on each corner you are fully protected. These also work with Wireless Charging.
In our modern world, manufactures keep working on making devices more eye-catching and attractive each time, as an example we have Apple with their increasingly thinner new iPhones or Samsung with their updated Curved Glass and Metal flagships.
But then we put a usually not so attractive case on them to protect them from falls and scratches, which is good, but as result we lost the precious look OEMs worked so hard to craft.
Let’s change that by adding a unique handcrafted case and a design that will make your phone look even better with the added protection.
Carved Cases
3 / 14
Carved is an US-based company that makes real wood (literal real) cases and skins for iPhone, Galaxy and Nexus devices.
With different models to choose from, like:
Slim
A “snap on” case with a real wood back and polycarbonate at the sides to assure drop protection while keeping the natural look of the phone.
Traveler
With a similar “snap on” design as before the Traveler cases add an extra layer of protection changing the slim style look for a “Rubber Bumper” cover that goes around the sides, giving the phone a bit of bulk but providing more coverage against drops than its predecessor.
Wood Skins
As the name implies there’s no “case” this time, but a laser cut and engraved wood vinyl for the back of your device (These are iPhone 4 or newer versions only)
Solid Wood Cases
Every piece is carefully selected from wood that is usually overlooked or thrown away. The cracks, knots and burls are where we find our most dramatic patterns and colors. Our unique hardening process creates an extremely strong, durable block that is precision machined into your next iPhone case.
These cases are one solid piece that will transform your phone into an art statement. With solid metal buttons and an open bottom to easy access your charging port and 3.5 jack; you will not find any extra cutouts on this beauty. (unfortunately for Android users, this model is also iPhone only)
Their cases come in a huge variety of designs, going from popular images to custom-made draws added by famous artists or if you prefer even your own design.
Made by Georgia based illustrator, Katy Lipscomb, the artwork is printed on real maple wood, you’ll find more of her gorgeous work over Carved website
Also there’s the Special Edition:
Seaside Collection
Featuring the natural beauty of a real shell inlay. The artwork is inlaid on a Veneered MDF sheet of genuine wood, laser cut and finished by hand.

Video Review of the Noreve Case for the Nokia Lumia 830.
Noreve who is a bespoke quality case maker has just sent us out the new case in a very nice cobalt color for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4,this is not a cheap phone so a case/cover would be a must for this device,having said that some like the naked feel of a phone including myself but i also like to have it well protected when outdoors or travelling,check out the image gallery and review below..
While this case will offer full protection for your device it does add some bulk and it may be awkward to use especially for small handed folk,for me its not much of an issue due to having big hands and im use to big devices that is my personal choice but i also use much smaller devices,however it was not really an issue but you would see some discomfort as to holding and using it compared to a gel case for example but this is a wallet type case and this is a characterisitc of such a case similar to what flip cases would have,it does add size to your phone,having said that the Note 4 is a big phone so using these kind of cases is unavoidable regardless,but i always say prevention is better than cure and i always advise buying a case no matter what..A screen for this device would be a very costly accident should you let it drop,the Note 4 having an aluminium frame might offer more security over the typical plastic frame but again its pot luck on how the phone lands,this goes for any phone not just particular to the Note 4.

You can look at this case and more over at Noreve ,this case will set you back €54.90 it may be expensive compared to other cases but its bespoke,super quality and durable..
We would like to thank Noreve once again for sending us the latest case.
The iPhone 6 plus is a pretty big phone with a pretty big price tag so protection is vital and cases for the 6 plus even today are hard to come by from have seen from local stores,most cases are available on-line so have to be imported,one thing that needs looking into here is the availability of cases on the same day as launch but this seems to be still an issue to some extent over a wide variety of devices..
Thanks to Noreve we have been sent our custom case for the iPhone 6 the colour is Red which is not my preference but looks nice to be fair..
6 / 11
Overall the case does offer us maximum protection if this flip style suits you,personally im not a fan of flip cases and prefer gel or just covers that surround the back and edges,those cases do offer less bulk than conventional flip or fold cases,this case did not add much bulk to the already big bulky phone so it was comfortable to use and felt fine in hand.
All ports on the device where easily accessible as seen in video,this is important some cases tend to get in the way of can be troublesome this would be mainly for cheap cases but not higher priced ones from well know case makers,thankfully Noreve has never has this problem with any case we have had from them and quality has always been great to say the least.
Noreve always have excellent packaging and presentation with their cases and its a great credit to them for the consistency here also what makes Noreve stand out is its options to the consumer to personalise their case to suit ones preference.
