This Back To The Future iPhone Case Is Totally Ridiculous And I Want One

We’ve made it! 2015. The year of hoverboards and self-tying shoes, according to Back To The Future.

So far, we have neither of those things*. But we do have this absolutely ridiculous iPhone case modeled after Doc Brown’s DeLorean, so we’ve got that going for us.

(* THOUGH NIKE KEEPS SAYING THEY’LL RELEASE A PAIR OF SELF-TYING POWER LACE SHOES THIS YEAR)

While nifty beyond reason, the case is… admittedly a bit silly. It makes the already portly iPhone 6 considerably bigger, and requires you to slide parts of it around to use the camera, and open the car’s doors to use the volume buttons. It’s perhaps the least practical iPhone case imaginable, outside of encasing your phone in concrete.

But… practicality? Where we’re going, we don’t need practicality.

I mean, come on. It lights up when people call! The headlights blink with your ringtone! It makes it look like you’re holding a massive toy car to your face! What’s not to love?

Built by Bandai primarily for distribution in Japan, the case is available for pre-order and is set to cost 5,940 yen — or roughly $50, at current exchange rates. Alas, it doesn’t look like Bandai’s ordering system lets you ship outside of Japan… so if you’re trying to get one of these stateside, expect a bit of a markup.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Review and Giveaway

Few smartphones are as aggressively marketed as Samsung’s Galaxy S5. The S5 can no longer be considered brand-new — but it  is  Samsung’s flagship, at least for the next few months. With a gorgeous screen, a capable camera, a waterproof build, and a user-replaceable battery, the Galaxy S5 has a lot to offer… at least on paper. Let’s find out how good it really is. What Makes This Review Different There are about a million Galaxy S5 reviews out there. Why should you read this one? Two keys points make our review different: We bought our own device . Unlike many tech blogs, we don’t use a review unit Samsung gave us. We went out to the store and bought one, just like you would. This means everything you read here is truly impartial – we owe Samsung nothing. We used it for more than a month . Some sites rush to be the first to publish a review on a new device. That’s not how we do things. I used the Galaxy S5 as my main (and only) Android phone for nearly two months,...

Android - How Can I Override Silent Mode With a Text Message?

People set their phones to silent or vibrate mode when in meetings, lectures, theaters, or anywhere else where it would be rude if the phone made noise. But what if there’s an emergency and someone needs to quickly get in touch with you? We’ll show you how to have your Android phone override silent mode and play an alert when a text message containing something like “Emergency” or “SOS” comes through. There are multiple ways to do this and we’ll cover two. You can easily use a free app created just for this purpose or take the geekier route and create a task using Tasker.
