The iPhone 13 is finally here. Of course, what would a new iPhone launch be without a complementary set of accessories to go with it? Case and accessory maker NOMAD is launching its lineup of cases to go with the iPhone 13 series. And this time, it’s going bigger.

Introducing synthetic

For the first time, NOMAD is entering the world of synthetic cases. The new Sport Case for iPhone brings a light and durable solution for people with active lifestyles or those who don’t prefer leather. The case uses a scratch-resistant PET-coated polycarbonate frame to provide durability. It also has high grip TPE bumpers, a microfiber interior, and tactile metal buttons. Besides scratch resistance, the case can also protect against drops from 6 feet.

To complement the iPhone’s functionalities, the case will have built-in MagSafe magnets and an NFC business card feature.

The Sport Case for iPhone will come in Black, Dune, Space Grey, Marine Blue, and Ash Green. It will ship starting October 18 and will retail for US$ 39.95.

Going leather

As always, NOMAD is also launching a lineup made with Horween Leather. Though made with leather, the Modern Leather Case has a microfiber liner which features cloud-like shock absorption. It protects the iPhone from falls of up to 10 feet. It works with MagSafe and will have an integrated NFC digital business card.

For those who need more out of their case, the Modern Leather Folio adds in three card slots and one cash slot. It also comes with a screen protector to cushion against potential scratches from credit cards. Much like the Sport Case, the leather case will have a polycarbonate frame, high grip TPE bumpers, a microfiber interior, and tactile metal buttons.

Both cases will come in Brown or Black Horween leather. Meanwhile, the Modern Leather Case will come in an additional Natural Horween leather color. The Modern Leather Case (shipping from September 23 to 29) will retail for US$ 59.95, and the Modern Leather Folio (shipping between now and September 29) will retail for US$ 79.95.

Skins and screens

For those who prefer a more minimal form of protection, NOMAD is bringing its leather skins and screen protectors to the iPhone 13 series. The skins will be made from Horween leather and sticks with 3M adhesive.

With OnePlus Pad and OnePlus Buds Pro 2

Last month, OnePlus unveiled the OnePlus 11 series in China. A China-exclusive launch usually means a global launch is on the horizon. That’s just what OnePlus did today in New York. While the surprise was already spoiled last month, the brand still had a good share of surprises. Besides the international launch of the OnePlus 11 series, take a look at the new OnePlus Pad and the OnePlus Featuring Keyboard 81 Pro.

OnePlus 11 5G

As revealed last month, the OnePlus 11 5G is one of the first smartphones this year to tout the new Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chipset. The smartphone comes with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and up to 512GB of internal storage. Plus, everything is made even better with a 6.7-inch LTPO 3.0 2K AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate.

Behind everything, the OnePlus 11 touts its black-hole-inspired camera bump. The setup features three shooters: a 50-megapixel main sensor, a 32-megapixel telephoto shooter, and a 48-megapixel ultrawide camera. It also has a 16-megapixel selfie shooter.

Underneath everything is a 5000mAh battery, capable of 100W wired charging.

OnePlus Buds Pro 2

Touting the MelodyBoost Dual Drivers co-created with Dynaudio, the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 expands its capabilities in the lower frequencies to deliver richer bass. Plus, it also has an equalizer crafted by award-winning composer Hans Zimmer.

It is also the first TWS earbuds to adopt Android 13’s spatial audio, making the pair a perfect device for YouTube and Disney+. With TUV-certified Smart Adaptive Noise Cancelling, the wearable can filter up to 48dB of noise from your environment — which users can customize with a transparency mode.

Finally, OnePlus says that a single charge can last up to 39 hours with the case.

OnePlus Pad

One of the new surprises for this event, the OnePlus Pad is the brand’s first flagship foray into the tablet market. The new tablet sports the Dimensity 9000 chipset, featuring the Cortex-X2 core clocking in at 3.05GHz of performance. It also comes with 12GB of RAM.

Outside the tablet’s impressive hardware, the OnePlus Pad comes with an 11.61-inch screen with 144Hz refresh rate. With a large 9510mAh battery, the tablet can reportedly last up to 12 hours while watching videos and up to a month on standby.

OnePlus Featuring Keyboard 81

Finally, rounding out the brand’s efforts to expand its ecosystem, the OnePlus Featuring Keyboard 81 is the brand’s first mechanical keyboard. Built with Keychron technology, users can fully customize the keyboard according to their needs.

Price and availability

Both the OnePlus 11 5G and the OnePlus Buds Pro 2 will start accepting preorders today. The devices will start shipping out on February 16.

The OnePlus 11 5G comes in Titan Black and Eternal Green. The smartphone will start at US$ 699 for the 8GB/128GB variant and will go up to US$ 799 for the 16GB/256GB variant.

Meanwhile, the OnePlus Buds 2 Pro will come in Obsidian Black and Arbor Green. It will sell for US$ 179.

Logitech is venturing into the gaming accessories scene with the release of its first-ever gaming grade earbuds, the Logitech G FITS.

The wearables are the first earbuds from the brand to feature Lightspeed wireless, giving users pro-grade wireless connection for their PC, Mac, PlayStation 4 and 5, Nintendo Switch, and Android devices via USB-A or USB-C.

The true wireless gaming earbuds have 15 hours of total listening time. That’s seven (7) on their own and an additional eight (8) with the charging case. When connected via Bluetooth, the total battery life in one full charge stretches up to 22 hours.

The Logitech G FITS also feature the patented Lightform technology, which allows users to get a contoured and custom fit in just a minute.

They simply have to connect to the Logitech G FITS app which then triggers a number of embedded LEDs and harden the gel-filled tips to suit one’s ear as ideal as possible.

The same app may also be utilized for an equalizer to tailor-fit the listening experience, especially if one wants to emphasize bass or fine tune the settings.

The Logitech G FITS is now available in major retail stores and online via Lazada and Shopee for SG$ 389.
