This company has teamed up with Mossy Oak to offer the SLXtreme 7 in Break-Up Country camo ($150 MSRP; starting at $115 on AmazonRemove product link) a camouflage-themed version of its rugged solar-powered iPhone case. It includes a 4,000-mAh battery, can survive a two-meter drop, and is waterproof up to two meters deep. (Of course, it’s camouflaged: If you drop it in the forest, you might never find it again.)

Speaking of camo, X-Doria has released a line of wilderness-themed iPhone cases: the Defense Lux ($35 MSRP; same price on AmazonRemove product link), a military-grade polycarbonate case; the Defense Shield ($30 MSRP; same price on AmazonRemove product link), a similarly tough metal case; and the Defense Gear ($30 MSRP; $27.95 on AmazonRemove product link) a “full body, no bulk” case for iPhone 7. Each is available in several varieties of camouflage.

The M4 Stand ($35 MSRP; same price on AmazonRemove product link) is old-school: Slip your iPhone in and it becomes an old Mac monitor. While your phone is charging, you can still use it to watch movies or surf the web, and the device is made of scratch-free silicone to give your iPhone the protection it deserves.

The GoPower Plus ($59.95 MSRP; $49.43 on AmazonRemove product link) is an 8,000-mah battery—capable of fully charging your iPhone twice—with a built in Micro-USB cable and an integrated Lightning adapter so you can easily recharge the full range of your mobile electronic devices on the go.

Want to put together a pro-style video broadcast on Facebook? SlingStudio ($999 MSRP) creates a private video-grade wireless network which allows multiple devices—both professional cameras and smartphones—to synchronize and broadcast live video in HD.

The PowerCore Case for iPhone 7 ($100 MSRP; $52 on AmazonRemove product link) is a 2,200-mAh battery case for iPhone 7—it’s even designed so the Lightning port is free for headphones and other accessories when not charging—with no need to take your phone out for direct charging or to listen to your music.
