Most waterproof cases for the iPhone add a huge amount of bulk to the device, but a new cover named “Case Marine” from Gooma gives your device the ability to resist water by adding a thickness of merely one fourth of a millimeter.

After the launch of 4G LTE iPad, Apple’s next generation iPhone is widely expected to support 4G LTE network.

When we first wrote about Pebble three weeks back - the sleek smartwatch that connects to iPhone and Android, it had received a backing for more than $650,000 from 4850+ backers.
