I mean, we know very well water and drops are the biggest enemy of a delicate smartphone and yet, so far, manufacturers like Samsung only focus on dealing with dust and water ingress and continue to create beautiful devices that obviously can’t stand any drops. But luckily, there’s Urban Armor Gear to the rescue. The leading designers of lightweight, rugged and U.S. military drop-tested device cases has announced three new series of MIL-SPEC drop-tested cases specially tailor made for the recently unveiled Samsung Galaxy Note8 smartphone.

I mean, come’on, man. A smartphone case that makes hot beverage? Who are they kidding right? Continue reading An Espresso-making Smartphone Case Got Suspended By Kickstarter And We Wonder Why
