It was nearly two years ago to the date that we first showed off This is Ground’s original Mod Tablet carrying case. Since then, it’s gone through two extensive revisions resulting in the release of the new third generation model last week. We’ve been able to spend some time with the Mod 3 over the last while in an attempt to apply it in real life scenarios.
Wrapped in Italian Leather and geometrically designed, this carryall screams attention to detail with Mad Men design cues. The latest version is slightly bigger, includes a Tile Bluetooth tracking device and ships with all inserts.
How’d it do? Head below to find out.

After enjoying a successful crowdfunding round last year, the Podo stick-and-shoot smartphone camera is back for another round. At just $49, the new version turns nearly any surface into a tripod to capture the perfect shot. The micro-adhesive sticky material just needs to be washed and it’s ready for another round.
The 5MP camera also captures video at 720p 30fps. It connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth and uses 8GB of internal memory for storing content between uploads. Obviously, the camera isn’t going to break any records. But at $49, its unique design and flexibility could make for some interesting shots. The Podo has already blown passed its original $50,000 goal. If all goes to plan, it will ship before the end of the year.
Apple’s iPhone 7/Plus can withstand water, but they are still just as prone to scratches and screen breakage as previous generations (even more so for Jet Black!).

We’ve sifted through nearly every iPhone 7 case currently on the market and plucked out the thinnest options. Here’s what we’ve found:
