SANDMARC is unveiling its new black Titanium Apple Watch band today. The brand has quickly become one of our favorite Apple gear accessory brands – its iPhone 13 leather case was my personal favorite of 2021 – and it has more recently stepped in to the Apple Watch space with 2022 model leather strap and previously unveiled silver metal variant. Today it is launching a “timeless” and sleek new metal link-style bracelet band for Apple’s wearable with the all new black Titanium Apple Watch band.

Considering how scarce its PlayStation 5 consoles still are, those looking to ensure they land one of the pro-grade DualSense controllers might want to lock one in as soon as possible.

We are diving into the new 10.9-inch Spigen iPad cases today.

AKAI has just unveiled a new MPK Mini Plus. While we did see a new Mini Play model earlier this year, the AKAI MPK Mini Plus MIDI keyboard controller is the next-generation model of the standard Mini MK3 that launched back in 2020. Shedding the onboard speaker and built-in sounds found on the more portable production suite-grade Play model, the new MPK Mini Plus is the latest-generation MIDI controller from the brand designed to offer a little bit of extra finger real-estate for beat makers and musicians alongside a series of modernized controls we are used to with music controllers like this. Now available for purchase, head below for a closer look at the details.

It’s now time to take a hands-on look at the Peak Design Everyday iPhone 14 fabric case. We were impressed with last year’s models and have now had a chance to put the iPhone 14 variant to the test. It is once again employing the textile treatment while combining magnetic and mechanical accessory connection systems, but is it worth dropping the $40+ down over some of the more affordable options out there. Head below for all of the details in our latest Tested with 9to5Toys feature. 

Speck has now unveiled its next-generation magnetic iPad cases for the new 12.9- and 11-inch pro models as well as the 10.9-inch variant.

The 2022 Incipio iPhone 14 case collection arrived just hours after Apple unveiled its latest models.

Tile is best known for its Bluetooth item trackers, the Mate, wallet card-style Slim, and the Pro variant, many of which we went hands-on with previously, but the brand updated its lineup with the new Lost and Found Labels last month. These low-tech QR-coded labels are essentially custom-encoded stickers that help to track down misplaced items, and we have now had a chance to go hands-on with them for a couple of weeks to see what they are all about. Head below for our review of the new Tile Lost and Found Labels as part of our ongoing Tested with 9to5Toys series.

Well, today is the day we finally get our first look at the much anticipated Mario movie, The Super Mario Bros. Movie as it is officially known right now. The film was first announced back in 2018, some 2-years before the Sonic The Hedgehog movie actually turned out to be pretty good, and then went mostly dark until a pre-fall Direct presentation in 2021. At that time, series’ creator Shigeru Miyamoto took to the virtual stage to unveil the Mario movie cast starring Chris Pratt as the titular Mushroom Kingdom plumber (please don’t mess the voice up, please Chris). And now, over a year later, Nintendo is finally ready to show the upcoming Mario movie as part of what appears to be a dedicated Nintendo Direct showcase. Head below for details and to watch the upcoming stream later today. 

Today we are taking a closer look at Ninja’s latest CREAMi ice cream maker. The previous-generation models were some of the more popular kitchen items around here over this past summer and while the weather might be cooling down across the country, it’s never too cold for some frozen treats if you ask me.

SANDMARC is unveiling its new Titanium Apple Watch band today. Officially known as the Titanium Edition – Apple Watch Ultra Band, its high-end metal strap now joins the more affordable new leather Apple Watch Ultra model from the brand we featured last month as its latest offerings for Apple’s wearable lineup. SANDMARC has quickly become a standout brand in the Apple gear space for us over the last year or so, largely due to how much of a fan I am of the gorgeous gunmetal aluminum machined threading on its iPhone 13 and 14 cases, with a focus on iPhoneographers and the use of rugged materials. The new Titanium Apple Watch band appears to be following suit, and you can get a closer look below alongside our exclusive 10% discount code.
