A set of official Samsung Galaxy S10 accessories were leaked this morning with a few details not known before today. This set of images shows that the Samsung Galaxy S10 will indeed come in three sizes, will come in two different sorts (flat and curved-edge display) and will have a front-facing fingerprint sensor that is unaffected by a standard screen protector. But what's that, you say, it wasn't the standard screen protector you were worried about?

Remember the somewhat underwhelming wireless charging power bank Tesla released, pulled, and then re-released last year? It turns out that wasn’t the end of Tesla’s mobile accessories lineup. Now it has new folio cases to give some iPhones some classic classy flair. But as curious as that may sound, what’s even more curious is that Tesla has actually set up an Amazon store to sell its merchandise completely unrelated to its company’s main products: electric cars.

Apple's Smart Battery Case for the iPhone XS has leaked, with the upcoming hunchbacked accessory spotted in a purported merchandise guide for retailers.

This morning a case for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 was leaked with a very short video. In-hand, this case makes it appear as though the Galaxy S10 - in at least one iteration - will have a rather extended camera array.

Apple finally released a clear case for the iPhone XR at their stores around the world and online. In the Apple Store online, the iPhone XR Clear Case doesn't look any different from the rest of the similarly-implemented cases for other phones, save that it fits the iPhone XR specifically. This clear case allows the iPhone XR's many color options to shine through, whereas previous other cases blocked the colors almost entirely, making said colors a moot point.
