Nomad launches Ultra Orange cases for iPhone 14 Pro
Discount for pre-orders!
It’s never too late to accessorize for your new iPhone 14 Pro. With Apple’s price tags still as high as they are, it’s important to protect your investment for the next few years. Unfortunately, a lot of rugged cases don’t prioritize fashion. If you’re looking for the perfect blend of glitz and protection, look no further than Nomad and its new Ultra Orange lineup.
The new lineup of cases — built specifically for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max — are delectably minimalist. The orange polycarbonate frame with a PET backplate can both protect your new phone and dazzle while on the go. Plus, durable TPU bumpers saves your hardware from drops of up to 15 feet.
Meanwhile, dual lanyard slots will add convenience if you need both hands for something else. Also, if you’ve bought into Apple’s wireless charging system, the Nomad case is still compatible with the brand’s MagSafe products.
To complement your phone, the collection also has an Ultra Orange sports band for the 45mm Apple Watch and Watch Ultra. The band is both lightweight and durable to provide comfort and durability throughout the day.
The Nomad Ultra Orange iPhone 14 Pro case will retail for US$ 49.95. Meanwhile, the Ultra Orange Sport Band will retail for US$ 59.95. Both are limited edition and will start shipping in November. Pre-orders will grab an additional percent discount.

Secretlab is teaming up with Marvel for the first time to launch the Secretlab TITAN Evo Marvel Spider-Man Edition.
The new gaming chair draws inspiration from Spider-Man’s enduring legacy. It has a red-and-black design, Spider-Man emblems, and web-inspired detailing across the backrest. It launches alongside Sony Pictures Entertainment and Marvel Studios’ Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
The chair is upholstered in Secretlab SoftWeave Plus Fabric. Its backrest features a web of silken lines rendered through an advanced knitting process that gives Secretlab control over every thread. The design also includes dark tendrils along the side wings and seat base as a nod to Venom.
Built for long hours
The Spider-Man Edition retains the TITAN Evo’s ergonomic features. It uses high-density cold-cure foam designed for long hours of sitting, with a medium-firm formulation intended to distribute weight evenly and relieve pressure.
It also features Secretlab’s sculpted pebble seat base, which guides users toward the middle of the seat while allowing natural movement. The 4-way L-ADAPT lumbar support adjusts up, down, in, and out to follow the natural curvature of the lower back.
Secretlab says the collaboration marks its first partnership with Marvel. The company currently has more than three million users worldwide. It says its chair and desk designs have received more than 90 Editor’s Choice and Best Hardware Awards.
The Secretlab TITAN Evo Marvel Spider-Man Edition is available through Secretlab’s website.
Sony has expanded its ULT POWER SOUND lineup with three new party speakers. They are the ULT TOWER MAX, ULT TOWER 7, and ULT TOWER 5. The new models focus on deeper bass, higher sound pressure, and features designed for parties, DJ setups, karaoke, and everyday listening.
The new ULT TOWER lineup was developed with input from hip-hop sound creators. Sony says the speakers were tuned based on feedback from Grammy-nominated producer Dot Da Genius, drummer and producer Daru Jones, producer and DJ Dready, and audio engineer and producer Dennis “ROC.am” Jones.
Three speakers for different setups
The ULT TOWER MAX sits at the top of the new range. It uses three woofers, including two front-facing units and one at the rear, alongside a high-powered amplifier delivering up to 2,150W of output. Sony positions it as the most powerful bass speaker in the ULT POWER SOUND series yet.
The ULT TOWER 7 delivers up to 420W of output, while the more compact ULT TOWER 5 reaches up to 300W. Both are designed to be easier to move around, making them suitable for parties, karaoke, DJ setups, and everyday listening.
All three models feature Sony’s ULT button with ULT1 and ULT2 modes. ULT1 enhances deep bass, while ULT2 pushes for even more powerful bass and sound pressure. New FLAT and LIVE modes are also available. FLAT aims for a true-to-source sound and LIVE recreates the feel of a live performance.
Built for parties
The ULT TOWER MAX and ULT TOWER 7 feature 360° Party Sound, which projects audio around the speakers for wider coverage. The MAX combines four tweeters, mid-range speakers, and its rear woofer to produce room-filling sound.
Sony has also added Enhanced Sound Field Optimization. The system analyzes speaker placement and surrounding noise before adjusting the sound balance across the frequency range. The speakers can also be positioned vertically or horizontally.
Connectivity includes XLR, RCA, and USB-C, giving the lineup options for both casual listening and more involved DJ setups. Compatible speakers can also be connected in stereo for wider sound coverage.
For karaoke, users can pair the speakers with Sony’s optional ULTMIC1 microphone. The new Party Chain feature also uses Auracast to connect multiple compatible Sony speakers and synchronize their music and lighting.
Lighting modes include BEAT, WAVE, and MELLOW, giving users different lighting patterns depending on the atmosphere they want.
Made to move
Sony has equipped the new speakers with carry handles. They also improved the wheels on the ULT TOWER MAX and ULT TOWER 7 with wider treads. The ULT TOWER 7 and ULT TOWER 5 also carry an IPX4 rating when positioned vertically, making them suitable for outdoor use.
Battery life reaches up to 30 hours on the ULT TOWER 7 and up to 20 hours on the ULT TOWER 5, although actual battery life varies depending on volume, lighting, temperature, and usage.
Sony is also highlighting the environmental aspects of the lineup. Approximately 35 percent of the plastic used in the ULT TOWER MAX is recycled plastic. The ULT TOWER 7 and ULT TOWER 5 each use approximately 20 percent recycled plastic by weight.
The company is further supporting the dance community through a sponsorship of Red Bull Dance Your Style 2026, where Sony will serve as an official wireless speaker partner for events including the USA National Final in September and World Final in Switzerland in October.
The Sony ULT TOWER MAX, ULT TOWER 7, and ULT TOWER 5 will be available starting September 2026 in selected Asia Pacific markets. Sony has not specified pricing or individual market availability in the release.
Jackery has expanded its Explorer Series, introducing three new models: the Explorer 300D, Explorer 500 V2, and Explorer 2000 V2.
These new portable power station models join the earlier Explorer 100 Plus, 300 Plus, and 1000 V2 releases earlier in the year.
Each is built for different needs, from brief power interruptions to outdoor adventures and prolonged outages.
The Jackery Explorer 300D is a grab-and-go variant for unexpected power cuts. It is a compact power station weighing just about 2.5 kilograms and is 64% smaller than standard 300Wh units.
With a speaker-like form factor, 288Wh capacity, and 300W total DC output, it is the ideal power station for content creators, remote workers, and outdoor enthusiasts who live life on the move.
It can juice up a fast-charging Type-C laptop three to four times, smartphones up to 22 times, and drone batteries four to five times.
The Explorer 300D comes with unique DC-only design to eliminate idle power loss. It also has a 2-in-1 shoulder strap that unclips to double as a heavy-duty 140W USB-C charging cable.
Meanwhile, the Jackery Explorer 500 V2 packs a 512Wh capacity and 500W max output into a sleek frame.
It has an Uninterruptible Power Supply switchover time of under 10 milliseconds, ensuring devices such as Wi-Fi routers or laptops will not drop connection. It can also power up a desk fan for about 8.5 hours.
For easy storage, it has a fold-down handle. This makes the power station also portable to carry with you wherever you need it.
Lastly, the heavy-duty Jackery Explorer 2000 V2 features a massive 2,042Wh capacity and 2,200W inverter.
Weighing just 17.9 kilograms, it is about 41% lighter and 34% smaller than standard generators in the 2kWh category.
It can power a standard inverter refrigerator for up to 14 hours, run a 1.0 HP air conditioner for up to 3.5 hours, or power multiple electric fans for up to 28 hours.
It can also power kitchen essentials like rice cookers, small water heaters or coffee makers, and microwaves, in case hunger strikes amidst a power interruption.
The Explorer 2000 V2 also features an EV-grade LiFePO4 battery engineered for over 10 years of daily use.
The entire Jackery lineup is available on Lazada, Shopee, the Jackery kiosk at SM Fairview, and other partner stores.
