Gadgets, particularly smartphones, are one of the leading wastes in the world. On top of that, billion phone cases are thrown away every year. Imagine the amount of plastic waste polluting our landfills and oceans!

Pela’s original, compostable iPhone cases

To reduce our carbon footprint, Pela revolutionizes phone cases with their compostable products. Recently, the phone case maker based in Canada introduces yet another biodegradable product: A clear phone case!

Explaining the reason why Pela launches the world’s first compostable clear phone case, Pela CEO Matt Bertulli said, “While we love the look and feel of our original cases, trends are showing us that 65 percent of phone cases bought are clear. That is an entire demographic of people who will opt for a plastic case because they want the clear look; our new case solves that problem.”

Bertulli added, “Our goal is to replace conventional plastic products with biodegradable and compostable alternatives without compromising quality or protection.”

While Pela’s clear cases seem brittle, they’re flexible and tough enough to withstand impact. Made with sustainable and renewable resources, it uses 100 percent biobased, semi-rigid material adorned with a flexible, grippy elastomer bumper available in various colors.

The phone case allows wireless charging compatibility, too, thanks to its slim design. It’s also been military grade-tested.

Furthermore, the phone case is 100 percent compostable, so you can dispose of it in your backyard compost if you don’t need it anymore. It decomposes faster than the usual PLA biopolymer used in biodegradable plastic alternatives.

Currently, Pela has clear cases for iPhone models 6, 7, 8, and the new SE — which you can buy on their website. It’s currently undergoing production to include other phone models and will launch it in June 2020.

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT

Compatible with most keyboards and mice

Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.

Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.

Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.

Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.

While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

Logitech has unveiled its newest heavy-duty gaming keyboard: The Logitech G Pro X 60 Lightspeed gaming keyboard. The latest G Pro series addition is engineered in collaboration with top esports athletes, and promises exceptional performance and precision specifically for gaming.

The gaming keyboard is available in White, Black, and Magenta and retails for PhP 10,955. Customers may also choose between two GX Optical Switches configurations: tactile and linear. These upgraded switches boast faster and more precise actuation, as well as increased durability. The G Pro X 60 has a distinct design, with the keys quite elevated from the keyboard base.

As the model name suggests, the new offering is also the first Logitech product to boast of a 60% keyboard form factor. This portable keyboard allows users to have more space for dynamic mouse movements compared to full-sized keyboards.

The innovative Keycontrol feature, meanwhile, lets users assign up to 15 various shortcuts and combinations per key. Gamers will benefit from being able to tailor the keys specifically to their needs by customizing the keyboard keys with commonly used commands and audio and lighting effects.

The gaming keyboard also comes with Lightsync RGB. Users may choose from about 16.8 million colors and customize each key’s individual color. Connectivity-wise, users may use the keyboard via Bluetooth, USB, and 2:1 pairing with a PRO gaming mouse.
