Keep your iPhone 6 charged at a distance with Bolse’s Cloth Jacketed Lightning Cable

There are two things wrong with Apple's Lightning cable. One is that the cord is just not long enough to be useful. The other is that it tends to tangle when not properly stored.

Bolse solves both of those problems with a six-foot MFi certified cord that is covered in a high-quality nylon jacket so you can plug your iPhone 6 into the wall and still use it while sitting on the couch.

Benuo Leather Folio Flip case adds a vintage look to your iPhone 6

If your fashion sense sits firmly in mid-century design, you may be more interested in a vintage look than Apple's modern minimalist look. It doesn't mean you can't have both.

The creator of such unique mobile games as Okay? and Sometimes You Die is back with another bite-size game that tends to turn one into an addicted maniac. Burger – The Game only requires you to tap the screen at the right time. But, this skills-based title isn't as easy as it sounds. In fact, it would probably be easier to just make a burger in real life.

Macally MCUPMP cup holder mount keeps your iPhone 6 within reach

When it comes to iPhone mounts, people have differing opinions on where they want it to be. Some prefer a dashboard mount for convenient viewing. However, dashboard mounts are illegal in some states. An air vent mount still provides eye-level viewing, but covers your air vent. And, then there are cup holder mounts.

The MCUPMP is a cup holder mount that holds your iPhone 6 securely in place so you can quickly access maps, music, and other important apps without having to pull it out of your pocket.

Apps of the week: Mazecraft, Trackd, Focus, and more

With the new update to iOS 8 and iTunes 12, it doesn't seem like there could possibly be any time to play around with new content from the App Store. I mean, you can finally add songs to new playlists and actually use iCloud Music Library.

However, I will always find time for new content from the App Store. That's my job. If you are looking for a new game to try out, or wish you could write songs remotely with friends, we've got a list of apps and games you should check out this weekend.

TechMatte's MagGrip is a magnetic mount for your car's air vent so you can simply set it on the base and drive off. There is no need to clip it or snap it to your iPhone 6. When you want your device back, pull it away from the magnetic base and you are done.

Catalyst unveils the world’s first waterproof Apple Watch case

Last week, I went on a hike and ended up at a swimming hole where I promptly jumped into the cool, refreshing water and subsequently realize that I was still wearing my Apple Watch. Don't worry, everything worked out fine.

It got me thinking about how I wished there were a waterproof case for Apple Watch. Specifically, I was thinking about how it would be nice if Catalyst made one (I'm not making this up. I have a Catalyst waterproof iPhone case that I love). The good news is that Catalyst did make a waterproof case for Apple Watch. The bad news is that it doesn’t fit my model.
