    At the end of the article they pitch an Android phone they made that's "based on the design of the next iPhone" So that's about how much you can trust the legitimacy of these pictu…

    Swiping from the edge of the screen is not always easy with a protective case on your phone, as it impedes your ability to do so. Pretty annoying problem that I haven't seen that c…
