You’ve purchased Apple’s biggest, most beautiful phone yet, and you want to keep it looking that way. However, you don’t want to hide it in an opaque case. Here are some of the best options for keeping the iPhone XS Max safe while still showcasing its good looks.

Premium protection

Speck Presidio Stay Clear

Speck’s Presidio Stay Clear case has raised bezels, a polycarbonate outer shell, and a clear inner lining. The case has 8-foot drop protection and it resists discoloration. Despite all of this, it’s still a pretty slim case.

Trusted protection

Otterbox Symmetry Series Clear Case

The Otterbox name is synonymous with protection. I know people who won’t buy any brand case but Otterbox. The Symmetry Series Clear Case isn’t the tank-style case Otterbox is known for, but it’s still quite protective while maintaining a pretty slim profile.

This 0.02 inch case isn’t going to be as protective as a thicker on…

If you’re still trying to catch Mew, you’re still working on catching Ditto. Good news: Now the new mythical Meltan form can help you out!

Ditto is a Pokémon who can transform — essentially take on the appearance and attributes of other Pokémon. Although missing from the original release of Pokémon Go Gen 1, Ditto eventually found its way out into the world, hiding as Pidgy, Ratatta, Zubat, and Magikarp. With Gen 2, Ditto also learned to hide as Sentra, Yanma, and Hoothoot, and Gen 3, as Zigzagoon and Taillow. Then, when Shiny Magikarp appeared, Ditto Magikarp disappeared. Now, just as Ditto has become a prerequisite for finding the mythical Mew, Ditto has added Ghastly, Whismur, Gulpin, Mankey, and Remoraid to its repertoire as well.

So, come out, come out, wherever you are. It’s time to play hunt and go catch!

What is Dragon Ball FighterZ?

The history of Dragon Ball games hasn’t been great. The games — based on the popular anime and manga series — have almost all weighed in as fighting games.

Unfortunately, those fighting games haven’t always been up to the standard set by incumbent dominators such as Street Fighter. Don’t get us wrong, they’re fun and all, but it’s mostly been a bunch of fan service for those who yearn for Dragon Ball action in their lives.

Enter Dragon Ball FighterZ, the game tasked with taking the franchise from the amateurs to the big leagues. The fighting mechanics have been completely overhauled and revamped, with the team introducing advanced mechanics to add more depth and…

iPhone nowhere to be found? Use the Apple Watch’s built-in Find My iPhone button to uncover it in a jiffy.

If your iPhone frequently goes on safari into the couch cushions or under-bed lairs of your home, you don’t have to rush to your computer and iCloud.com to uncover it. Instead, you can use your Apple Watch. Unlike Find My iPhone, your Apple Watch’s search feature won’t trigger iCloud emails saying your device has been sent a noise; it’s a much simpler and less complicated Find function.

Note: Your phone needs to be turned on and have Bluetooth enabled for this to work, and it will only ping the iPhone your Apple Watch is paired with; you can’t currently find other devices in this manner.

How to find your iPhone with your Apple Watch

Press the Digital Crown button to return to the watch face.
Swipe up from the bottom of the watch face. It should show your iPhone at the top as ”Connected” in green text.
Tap the Find iPhone button in the bottom left corner.
