Bitmo Lab Unveils GearShift, a Manual Shifter to Put Your Phone in Drive

As digital lives often feel a bit too automated, Bitmo Lab introduces GearShift, a clever MagSafe-compatible accessory that brings a novel blend of tactile control and versatile functionality to your phone. 

GearShift at a Glance:

  • 6-Speed Manual Shifter: A real, short-throw gear mechanism with a crisp, tactile click.
  • Purely Mechanical: Zero electronics, batteries, or Bluetooth. Pure haptic feedback.
  • Multifunctional Design: A precision kickstand with 7 stable angles, a secure ergonomic grip, and a fidget-friendly device.
  • Automotive-Inspired Flair: Features a carbon fiber knob, chrome-polished rod, and subtle racing accents.
  • Thoughtful Adjustments: Features a telescopic rod for 2cm of extension, enabling a personalized hold.

Engineered for Intuitive Use

GearShift is built around its 6-speed gearbox. Each shift toggles between three core modes: Landscape​ for viewing, Portrait​ for browsing, and Grip​ for secure handling. The mechanical design provides stable support, a confident hold, and immediate physical feedback.

The Thought Behind It

“The concept was straightforward: we wanted to inject personality into a device that’s often overlooked,” says Zhong Tao, Product Manager at Bitmo Lab. “GearShift started with a simple question: could a phone grip offer the same tactile engagement as a manual transmission? So, we built a mechanical solution to find out.”

Engage with GearShift: Co-Create Its Future

GearShift is currently in active concept development. Bitmo Lab invites media, creators, and tech enthusiasts to join the co-creation process and provide early feedback on this innovative concept.

Availability

The GearShift accessory is planned for its official market launch in August 2026. To receive updates on the launch and be notified when GearShift drops, please visit the official Bitmo Lab website to subscribe for notifications.

Tech Review – dbrand Google Pixel 8a Grip case and Skins

dbrand is a well known case and skins company who are very reputable and have a fantastic way of putting words to things even on social media which is great in my book they say it as they see just like me and move along swiftly often leaving a bitter taste in some people’s mouths that rightly deserve it and if you do not follow them on X you are missing out.

They have kindly sent me their newest Grip case and some skins for the all new Google Pixel 8a which I was delighted to receive after some email tennis which at first I thought was a wind up!..

It was not a wind up after all and I fucking love it that they have chosen a quite colourful character from Ireland to check out what they have to offer and we will get into it now as I have said enough..

OK so presentation is great with the Black box that opens out presenting you with some facts a cloth the grip case and skins more should do this as presentation is key but some will say it is only a case, that it maybe but first impressions last.

The first thing you will notice on taking out the Grip case is just how grippy it is and as a well season case reviewer this is the grippiest case I have held and you can be sure you will not drop this one with its textured microdots then along the sides you have got grip strips adding to the gripping power.

The buttons are tactile and work really well nice and clicky with good travel and work as expected with precision each time there is also some ridges on the volume keys on the case. A feature also not seen before is a chamfered lip and crescent arc which just makes life easier using the case over others, your fingers will love it.

All the cutouts are perfect for your ports and the camera area is well protected too, there is raised ridges on the back for the skins to be applied should you wish to install, I suggest you do as it will stop your case getting scratched.

Skins for the Pixel 8a

The back of the case is smooth to the finish but this is where the skins come in to spruce the look up and with a big range of eye catching colors you are not short of choice and the range I had to pick from was great and something for everyone here.

Yes you can still charge your phone wirelessly with no issues and I tested on several wireless chargers at home and one in my car so it works do not worry.

Overall the grippiest case I have tested with super cool skins and you should get so watch the flaming video below for the hands on experience and buy one.

Tech Review – Tudia Merge Grip Cases With Magsafe for the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra

Need some new cases for your Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra we have the Tudia Merge Grip With Magsafe cases here which is one of the first choices we go for when we get a new device and with any new device it is best to case up be it indoors or outdoors, I do often like to go with no case on the phone but strictly indoors where still it is not totally away from harms way and of course is a subjective choice, being a Tudia case user years now these cases are one of the best out there and we check out two of their new cases today.

Both cases come with dual layers and are magsafe compatible which is excellent if you are a person like me that has and iPhone and this means all thing will just get along together for both which is ideal. There is several colours and case styles on offer which you can find linked below.

Again as expected Tudia have delivered a nice solid care which is dual layered offering the best protection front back and side with additional grip to your phone, with your device placed face or rear down all is protected and will keep your device out of harms way and not forgetting the drop protection.

There is also anti slip material on the back of the case and some gripping points on the side making it more secure be it sat on a slippery surface or if you have a habit of dropping your phone. With raised edges on the camera array and the front you will be safe and it is also advisable to get a screen protector to be extra safe as a repair will be costly regardless if you have no case on board.

The keys work a treat too which are nice and tactile and durable and should last the lifetime of the case itself even if you are a power user like me, check out the video below for more and stay tuned for more Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra case reviews soon.

 

 

  • [Compatibility] Compatible with Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (2024)

Exogrip introduces their ground breaking gaming grip, designed to revolutionize the gaming experience

Exogrip, a gaming accessory startup, has unveiled a new gaming grip that conforms to gamers’ hands, providing enhanced comfort and control during gameplay. The innovative gaming grip is designed to effortlessly mould to the unique shape of each users’ hands, offering unparalleled comfort and control. Say goodbye to hand fatigue and cumbersome grips! Perfect for anyone who spends long hours gaming, the Exogrip assists players in achieving a more immersive and comfortable gaming experience. 

The PS5 controller grip utilizes patented technology that transforms it into a malleable material when heated. This allows it to perfectly conform to the user’s hand making it comfortable to use. The 3-step process is simple – heat the grip, grip the controller, then game! The three easy steps make it both uncomplicated and accessible to gamers of all skill levels. Heat, Grip, Game. This grip is ideal for gamers of all hand sizes and playing styles.


With the Exogrip, gaming becomes seamless, allowing for extended playing time without discomfort. The Exogrip maximises control and accuracy, giving you the competitive edge that you are looking for. 

 

Exogrip, a gaming accessory start-up, was created by 27-year-old Sam Coombes during Covid-19 lockdown. Coombes secured seed funding from his alma mater, the University of East Anglia, whilst continuing his full-time job as a digital marketing manager. The technology helps reduce hand and finger fatigue whilst gaming, improving performance and reducing the potential for injury. 

Samuel Coombes, founder of Exogrip, said: 

“Having been obsessed with gaming for most of my life, I noticed that the longer I spend doing it the more uncomfortable it got. Exogrip’s smart-grip solution is simple but effective and gives gamers just what they need – comfort and control, which adds up to a better gaming experience.

Most gamers will stop at nothing to unlock new gear, improve their times, work their way up the leader board and level up their gaming ability to beat their friends. This self-moulded grip gives them that all-important competitive edge.”

Exogrip, a gaming grip designed specifically to alleviate concerns about gamers hand health, is entering the market amidst growing concern over the potential health risks associated with prolonged gaming. Studies have linked extended periods of gaming with nerve damage and chronic conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendonitis. The Exogrip aims to address these issues by reducing strain on the hands during gameplay.

Sam Coombes adds: “Gamers are increasingly aware that their hobby can cause discomfort and pain, and they are looking for accessories that might help. Exogrip’s smart-grip solution has been designed with comfort in mind, and it could help to protect users from hand injuries in the future.”
