More and more companies are making the jump to manufacturing here in the United States, even Apple has brought some operations to Texas. We have detailed a number of individuals and businesses that are creating some really cool things stateside. Today, popular iPhone accessory maker Incase has announced that it has begun manufacturing in America, starting with its “Made in California” series.

Founded in 1997 in San Francisco, the return home is part of a focus by Incase on what is possible to create in California.

“In our nearly 20-year history, Incase has always been California-based, a heritage that’s had significant influence on our design point of view and one we’re proud to share with game-changing innovators like Apple,” said Incase CEO and Co-Founder Tony Held. “The Made in California series brings our story full-circle and we are excited to continue exploring what’s possible by working with manufacturing resources local to us.”

Admittedly, I am a bit of a bag connoisseur. Hauling around all my gear requires a well thought-out solution that not only keeps my stuff organized but also looks good doing it. There are plenty of bag options out there, but less that offer charging solutions and even fewer that do it well. Today we’ve spotted a new company that is aiming to solve on-the-go charging challenges and device storage. Through Indiegogo, AMPL has raised over $213,000 towards “the worlds smartest backpack”.

The SmartBag has a number of unique and interesting design cues, most notably providing a USB port in every pocket. However, the real question is how many times can it recharge your gadgets?

As the Apple Watch gets its long-awaited pricing and availability details today, millions of iPhone users — especially health-conscious people eying the entry-level Apple Watch Sport — will start making plans to preorder or line up for Apple’s new wearable.

Small States Review: Grovemade’s iPhone 6 dock puts extra emphasis on design and materials, giveaway worth $99

Trevor Daugherty -
FeatureiPhoneReviews

Update (3/14 9:15am): @schellack wins the Grovemade Dock. Thanks everyone for reading and entering this week’s giveaway.

When it comes to Apple accessories, there are typically two options: materials that are designed to mirror the product and those are meant to complement that product in a different way. The former is typically anodized aluminum, plastic or a metal of some kind, while the latter has been trending towards natural materials like wood or fabrics. Personally, I love seeing natural materials complement modern electronics. There are so many companies manufacturing here in the United States that are taking advantage of the natural resources and skills here.

I’ve been able to spend the last few weeks with Grovemade’s latest dock for the iPhone 6. We’ve covered company’s story before and this time around are able to see its newest home for Apple’s phone.

Head below for full details, our review and to learn how you can win a Grovemade iPhone 6 dock for yourself.

You’ll need to do so using carrier installment plans: Verizon Edge, AT&T Next, or Sprint Easy Pay/Leasing — upgrades of any kind and of course, full-priced no-commitment smartphone purchases are not eligible for the gift card bonus.

AT&T and Verizon new line activations will yield a free $150 gift card, while Sprint will get you $200 (in-store only).

The promo covers a range of smartphones including iPhone 6/Plus (in-store pickup only), iPhone 5s/c, LG G2, HTC One M8, Nokia Lumia 1520, and several others.

Pioneer’s SPH-DA120 adds Apple CarPlay iPhone integration to your car for $445 shipped (Reg. $600)

Jeremy Horwitz -

There are two ways to get Apple’s official iPhone integration in a car: buy a brand new vehicle with CarPlay support, or add an aftermarket head unit such as Pioneer’s SPH-DA120 — currently the most affordable in-dash solution with CarPlay. Normally sold for $600, the SPH-DA120 is currently on sale for $445 including free Amazon Prime shipping, or $444 shipped direct from DiscountCentralOnline (97% positive Amazon seller ratings), the best prices we’ve seen for this model. It currently has a 3.9/5-star rating from 24 Amazon customers.

Featuring the latest version (4) of Pioneer’s well-known AppRadio software, the SPH-DA120’s star feature is CarPlay (read our 9to5Mac review of CarPlay here), which leverages an iPhone for in-car navigation, phone calling, and text messaging. CarPlay begins with Bluetooth support for pairing with Apple’s Phone and Music apps. Additionally, a Siri Eyes Free voice command mode is completely integrated with the iPhone’s Maps and Messages apps, letting you get driving directions and communicate even without using the unit’s 6.2″ built-in touchscreen. It also has an FM radio and limited support for Android phones.

The SPH-DA120 is a double-DIN unit designed to fit in the standard 4″ dash openings found in many cars. It comes with a GPS antenna, a Pioneer wiring harness, USB and audio cables, as well as mounting hardware.

This iPhone 6 Batmobile case looks the part and even casts the Bat-Signal

-
New Toy of the DayNew ProductiPhone

Sometimes you need to sacrifice practicality for fashion. This new iPhone 6 case from Crazy Case epitomizes that sentiment. It is both one of the greatest and most ludicrous things we’ve ever seen.

Its design is pretty spot-on with the Tim Burton era Batmobile, but there’s no doubt its size will be unwieldy for most. Take a look in the top photo on the left, you’ll see that the iPhone Home Button is covered by Batman’s belt. The photo on the right shows the rear of the case with the wheels popped out, which is used to expose the camera lens.

Of course this case looks absolutely fantastic, but it’s what’s under the hood that really got us giddy. It’s equipped with a mini projector that beams the Bat-Signal onto nearby surfaces. LEDs add life to the headlights and break lights.

So far we’ve only found it on Japanese sites for around $50 USD, but if you venture onto eBay there are a couple available at a premium.

Still not sold? Take a look at this video trailer and you’re bound to fall in love…

LifeProof frē waterproof iPhone 6 case in multiple colors: $59 shipped (26% off)

-
AmazonDealsiPhone


Amazon now offers the LifeProof iPhone 6 frē waterproof case for $58.97 with free shipping. That price is notable for two reasons: it’s a 26% discount on a recently released, name brand case, and because all LifeProof coupons we’ve seen so far have excluded any iPhone 6 case. Today’s deal is available for the black and white versions.

A snippet from our review:

I’ve had LifeProof’s new Fre iPhone 6 case since it debuted last month and have put it through all kinds of torture tests, most notably my three-year-old who likes to watch Ben and Holly in the bath tub and six-year-old who sees no problem sled riding and skiing with a smartphone (Read: GPS tracking device).

The bottom line? It continues to protect from everything. Lots of drops, dirt, water, snow. Pretty much anything…

Amazon reviewers tend to side with our thoughts on the case, giving it a 3.5 out of 5 star rating.

Keep in mind that many third party Lightning cables are not compatible with it. If you’ve lost or destroyed the original cable that came with your iPhone, then you may want to invest in a new one that’ll definitely work with your new LifeProof case.

Need tough protection for your iPhone 6 without waterproof capabilities? Amazon still has OtterBox iPhone 6/Plus cases starting at $22.

Update: We found a lower price on MFi Lightning cables:  Tecknet MFi 3.3 ft Lightning cable for $6.97 Prime shipped at Amazon.  A better deal is the same $6.97 price for the 1.5M version.

Amazon has the MFi Certified Aukey Lightning to USB Cable (3.3ft / 1m) for $9.99. When you enter the coupon code HE7YOXF4 at checkout, the total drops to only $7.99 Prime shipped. That’s about the lowest you can get for one of these cables certified by Apple (which charges more than double for their Lightning cables). Don’t have Prime? Get it for free for a month. Otherwise make sure to pad your order to $35 to avoid shipping (buy 5!).

Need a little more pipe? Check out this combo MicroUSB/Lightning, heavy duty 6 foot cable for $21 shipped.

Update (1/17 1:30pm): Thank you to everyone that entered the giveaway, our winners are @daxpod, @Jst1nt and @clintonbean.

Update (1/14 9:45am): Grab 15% off at Bison Made with promo code 9to5Mac during checkout.

It all started with vintage shaving products for two friends, Sebastian Sanderius and Matthew Disarcik. Enamored with the design of these testosterone wielding devices, the pair began collecting them some time ago. Then, they started to refurbish and sell them online, a hobby that eventually turned into a full fledged business. The venture spurred so much success and interest that it created a foundation for another company.

Thus, Bison Made was born. A small company out of Phoenix, Arizona creating perfectly crafted accessories for men and their devices. From a fundamentally sound iPhone 6 wallet, to the strikingly precise Straight Razor, Bison Made has everything to make you re-think your whole accessory collection.

Let me show you Bison Made.

Apps GamesBest iPad DealsiPhone

ChAIR Entertainment has dropped the latest entry in its popular sword-fighting action game, Infinity Blade III, down to just $1 for the holidays. Typically listed at $6.99, this is the lowest we have seen the game go for by $2. At $10 for the entire Trilogy, today’s deal is still a better value than the previous Black Friday bundle by more than $2.

Widely regarded as some of the best mobile games out there, the Infinity Blade series brings together “adrenaline-fueled” action with some of the best visuals on the platform. As the epic conclusion for the three part series, IB3 introduces a new playable character as well as a more fine tuned experience overall within a much larger, dynamic 3D world. Along with voice work from famous actor Troy Baker (BioShock, The Last of Us, Far Cry 4, COD: Advanced Warfare, Batman Arkham, many more), it has the “most detailed story scenes ever shown” on mobile platforms:

Siris and Isa have joined with the God-King Raidriar in a desperate attempt to destroy the Worker of Secrets and his army of Deathless titans. Uncover new mysteries to wield the power of the Infinity Blade in this timeless adventure of champions and villains.
