It’s pretty easy to get an affordable phone case that looks good, no matter the device you have. Yet, that doesn’t stop some companies from selling theirs for about the same cost as a dinner for two. Well, thanks to Woot, we now have a wider selection of affordable phone cases to choose from, with a huge catalog of price-slashed models from Speck, OtterBox, and more made for a range of devices. Its sale page, which is up until March 31st, contains cases for the iPhone Air, the iPhone 17 Pro (and Pro Max), the iPhone 16 lineup, Google’s Pixel 9 series, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold and Z Flip foldables, and more. There are even some official Samsung cases in the mix. Many of these cases cost no more than $10, and most are about $5 a pop. Here’s are some standout cases from the sale: iPhone 16 Pro Max – OtterBox Cactus Leather Case Where to Buy: $69.99 $6.99 at Woot Google Pixel 9/9 Pro – OtterBox Symmetry Case Where to Buy: $59.99 $4.99 at Woot Samsung Galaxy S25 – Official Silicone Phone Case Where to Buy: $29.99 $4.99 at Woot Samsung Galaxy S25 – Official Flipsuit Case Where to Buy: $44.99 $4.99 at Woot iPhone Air – OtterBox Symmetry Case Where to Buy: $59.99 $4.99 at Woot iPhone 17 Pro – OtterBox Symmetry Leather Case Where to Buy: $69.99 $4.99 at Woot Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 – Ring Phone Case Where to Buy: $54.99 $4.99 at Woot Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 – Clear Phone Case Where to Buy: $49.99 $4.49 at Woot Other Verge-approved deals for your consideration I can heartily recommend Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice for any fan of developer FromSoftware’s Dark Souls and Elden Ring titles, as well as to anyone who likes tough games and sword fights. It’s especially easy to recommend when it’s half off for PS5 and Xbox Series X. Normally $59.99, the digital version from Sony and Microsoft’s online shops is $29.99 through March 26th at 2:59AM ET. The third-person action game is punishingly difficult, but also very rewarding. Combat is a dance, and definitely not a button-mashing affair. You’ll need to methodically trade blows, working down the enemy’s defenses enough to deliver a killing blow before they deliver one to you. Read our review. Here’s a reminder that Apple’s new M4 iPad Air, which was released this week, is already $40 off at some retailers. You’ll always pay full price when buying directly through Apple, but the likes of Best Buy and Amazon are offering multiple configurations at a cheaper price. The 128GB 11-inch model starts at $559 instead of $599, and the 256GB model is $50 off, costing $649. We recently published our review, and the verdict is probably what you’re expecting if you’ve been following where the iPad has been headed these past few years. It’s faster than the last-gen model — about 20-25 percent faster in terms of CPU tasks and about 15 percent faster with GPU tasks — but it’s still largely the same when it comes to features and design. The Shokz OpenRun Pro bone conduction headphones are down to $124.99 at Best Buy and Amazon (normally $159.99). This isn’t quite as low as the company’s New Year sale, which knocked another $20 off to really lure in folks who were serious about their fitness resolutions, but it’s the best deal we’ve seen since that one ended. These lightweight headphones are great for runs and walks outside, and their open design lets you stay connected to the world. The sound comes from drivers that rest on the bones just below your temples, and the sound quality is surprisingly good, although bass is severely lacking with these compared to what earbuds can deliver.

Though many AI boosters have convinced themselves that the technology can spit out films and television series whole cloth, claims of Hollywood being cooked feel very premature when you see what people are making with the most popular image/video models on the market. Models like Sora, Veo, and Runway just do not seem all that great for entertainment production. But we're starting to see more AI firms building a new breed of generative model - ones that are designed to address creatives' needs throughout the development process while also avoiding issues like potential copyright infringement. What really sets these models apart from their … Read the full story at The Verge.
