Cords are annoying and so is charging your phone all the time. Mophie solves both those problems in one shot with the Charge Force case line for the iPhone 6S, 6S Plus, Samsung Galaxy S7, and S7 Edge These cases boast internal batteries that juice your phone up on the go, but they also charge wirelessly, so you never have to fumble around with a cord again.
Mophie made a range of accessories to go with the case, so you can top up your phone’s battery no matter where you are, whether it’s your car, apartment, or office. Mophie has a desk mount, a wireless charging base, and an easy-to-use car mount to go along with its wireless charging case. You simply pop the case on your phone, and attach it magnetically to any of the Charge Force accessories. The case uses Qi wireless charging technology, so you can use other Qi-enabled accessories, too.
The only downside to the cool wireless charging case and its accessories is the price tag. You’ll pay $100 for the case and the accessories are sold separately for $60 and up. Of course, that’s about the same price you’d pay for any other Mophie case, sans wireless charging. We put the entire Charge Force lineup to the test to see if they’re worth your hard-earned money.
In this video, Joshua Smith goes hands-on with the new wireless Mophie case and its accessories. You’ll find out how easy the Charge Force system is to use and more. If you’re interested in Mophie’s latest and greatest offerings, you can get them from BestBuy, Apple, or Mophie.

Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
Samsung’s scandal over its Game Optimizing Service, or GOS, has returned with a bill attached. South Korea’s Fair Trade Commission has tentatively fined the company 20.1 billion won, or about $15.1 million, over gaming claims made for the Galaxy S21, Galaxy S22, and Tab S8.
The regulator says Samsung promoted the devices as gaming powerhouses without disclosing that GOS placed preset CPU and GPU limits on certain demanding games. Samsung disputes that conclusion, calling GOS a legitimate way to manage heat.
