Smartphone? Smart Case! This Phone Case Is Ready for Anything

Your phone does everything, right? It makes your dinner reservation or gives you a recipe to make your own meal. It keeps an eye on your caffeine intake, helps you brew the perfect beer and even gets you out of bed in the morning. And for the few things it can’t do, there’s now a case that can. And, it’s even in the B+C Shop!

The IN1 case ($45) is part Swiss Army knife, part portable Girl Scout. Totally prepared for anything, the case boasts a whopping nine incredible tools you never thought you could store on your phone. It has a smart design that allows it to pack all these tools without being clunky or obnoxious.

It starts with not one, but two pens! While everyone around you scrambles for a pen, you’ll be taking notes like a pro. The handy tools within the super sleek case fit neatly into the back so they’re there when you need them but totally hidden when you don’t.

Next to the pens you’ll find a toothpick, scissors, a nail file and two tiny screwdrivers. We have a feeling the case will be a big hit with the four-eyed crowd. The IN1 case aims to please. In addition to being crazy handy, it comes in black, white and clear and is available for all iPhone 5 models.

The best part? It manages to be just resourceful enough without breaking TSA rules. So take that baby to the airport without a care! And once you’re on the plane, you can use that smart built-in kickstand to catch up on all your favorite shows.

Would you use the IN1 case tools? Is there a tool you’d add? Let us know in the comments below!

Just like fashion trends, coffee orders can quickly go out of style, and some drinks give serious early-2000s energy (ahem, Señorita Awesome’s PSL order). New flavors and innovations are constantly being made in the coffee world, rendering a lot of once-popular sips obsolete.

From overly-sweet concoctions to blends that have lost their edge, these 7 “outdated” coffee orders are practically begging for an upgrade. If your go-to drink feels stuck in the past, it might be time to shake things up and sip on something a little more current. (Luckily, there are some exciting new menu drops coming from our faves at Dunkin’ andStarbucks!)

Scroll on to discover the top 7 “outdated” coffee orders that are no longer worth the hype – and the ones your barista is probably judging you for.

Olena Bohovyk / PEXELS

1. Frappe (Frappuccino)

While ice-blended coffees are still enjoyed in some places, the classic frappe has been overshadowed by a slew of other options like cold brew, iced coffee, and shaken espresso. Plus, these drinks can get quite complicated with chains offering endless customizations and add-ons.

Esra Afşar / PEXELS

2. Mocha

This combination of chocolate and espresso with steamed milk was pretty trendy for a while, but it’s definitely evolved with more diverse flavors and types of chocolate (dark choc for the win). Plus, mochas can get extremely sweet extremely fast, erasing the taste of coffee altogether.

Emilie Faraut / Dupe

3. White Chocolate Mocha

Mochas made with white chocolate were the drink to order… in the 2010s. Now, they may be seen as overly-sweet compared to more nuanced coffee flavors – especially if you ask a seasoned barista.

Esra Korkmaz / PEXELS

4. Caramel Macchiato

This highly-Instagrammable coffee bev used to be a go-to for many people, but over the years, it’s been associated more and more with tween and teen sippers – likely due to its sweetness and (very) high sugar content. If you want your coffee order to seem more age-appropriate and sophisticated, shift towards simpler options like iced coffee or cold brew!

Itschansy / PEXELS

5. Instant Coffee

While instant coffee is convenient, many baristas and coffee enthusiasts will turn their noses up at the mention of it. Oftentimes, you can get a way better flavor (and overall drinking experience!) with freshly-brewed or specialty coffees. Just save the instant coffee for your next camping trip!

Kelley McQuillen / Dupe

6. Espresso Con Panna

You don't see this one too much anymore. Espresso con panna – AKA a shot of espresso topped with whipped cream – was once considered a luxurious treat. With many people preferring sweeter coffees, it’s just less common now.

Mathias Reding / PEXELS

7. Irish Coffee

While still a total classic coffee order in bars (and especially around St. Patrick’s Day), Irish coffee is just not something you hear ordered as frequently in cafes anymore.

I am a very prepared person, which means I do my best to handle life's unexpected chaos with grace. A recent curveball that I did not prepare for was my phone dying in the middle of New York City. When you live in Manhattan, there's always a show to see, friends to grab margaritas with, and events to attend. That means you lose phone battery pretty quickly, which is exactly the one thing you don't want to go without in the middle of the city.

Ahead of my show at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, I was #influenced to buy this viral gadget to bring into the stadium with me — and it's the best portable phone charger I've ever used. I can't believe I've gone this long without it!

First Impressions

I grabbed the iWALK Small Portable Charger (which I got for $30), and the first thing I noticed was the size. The whole thing is smaller than my iPhone, meaning that it'll fit in just about any size bag and works with a lot of stadium concert rules!

It comes in multiple colors like pink and teal, but I got it in white.

The Timeline

I left for the concert at 2pm with a fully charged phone. I had to use Spotify, Google Maps, Uber, and my camera all before Taylor even came out, which means that by the time Gracie Abrams and Phoebe Bridgers had finished their opening acts (around 8 pm), my phone was on death's door.

The portable phone charger went right into the port and kept my phone alive for the rest of the night! It also didn't interfere with the audio in any of my recordings, which was super important to me.

Final Thoughts On This Portable Phone Charger

This product really surpassed my expectations because of how much power you get from such a small device. I've used it multiple times, and every time I do, my phone ends up fully charged, meaning I have enough battery for another round of adventures and antics.

I'll definitely have it in my bag all summer long. You can search on the internet for some other portable phone chargers for your summer, but this is definitely my favorite.

2025 is still just starting to unfold, but movie lovers have plenty to be excited about next year thanks to these amazing flicks.

From superhero battles to long-awaited sequels and fresh takes on classic stories, the upcoming roster is shaping up to be a blockbuster spectacle.

So, here are 10 of the most-anticipated 2026 movies coming next year.


1. Avengers: Doomsday — In Theaters May 1, 2026

Marvel Studios/Disney

On May 1, 2026, the Avengers will make their long-awaited return to the big screen with Avengers: Doomsday, bringing a brand new Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) team together for the first time since Avengers: Endgame.

Specific plot details remain under wraps, but there are rumors of an overwhelming list of powerful villains (led by Robert Downey Jr.'s Victor Von Doom) and the largest assembly of heroes in MCU history.

2. Toy Story 5 — In Theaters June 19, 2026

Disney/Pixar

If you thought Toy Story was gone for good, think again. Toy Story 5 is slated to be released on June 19, 2026.

It could take the story in multiple directions, possibly splitting its focus between Buzz leading Bonnie's toys as she navigates elementary school and Woody adjusting to life as a lost toy with Bo and their carnival friends. But we know our favorite toys are up against some new competition: screens.

There's also speculation that Andy might return, crossing paths with Woody while celebrating his college graduation at the traveling carnival.

Still, details are unknown, so fans can only guess what adventure lies next.

3. The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping — In Theaters November 20, 2026

Lionsgate

The next Hunger Games movie is scheduled to be released in theaters on November 20, 2026. Francis Lawrence will return as director, and Sunrise on the Reaping will take viewers back 24 years before the OG movie to follow a young Haymitch Abernathy as he fights to survive the deadly 50th annual games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell.

This brutal edition saw double the usual number of tributes, making it the bloodiest in Panem's history.

4. Scary Movie 6 — In Theaters June 12, 2026

Dimension Films

Set to debut on June 12, 2026, Scary Movie 6 will be the latest installment in the popular horror movie spoof series. Shooting is supposed to start in 2025.

It's unclear who will star in the cast, but it is known that Marlon and Shawn Wayans, the original creators of Scary Movie, have returned to help with the latest project.

5. Minions 3 — In Theaters July 1, 2026

Illumination Entertainment & Universal Pictures

The mischievous yellow henchmen are back for another chaotic adventure in Minions 3, slated to hit theaters on July 1, 2026.

Following the massive success of Despicable Me 4, which raked in $969 million globally, the Minions franchise will likely continue to be a box-office powerhouse.

6. Scream 7 — In Theaters February 27, 2026

Brownie Harris/Paramount Pictures

Scream 7, which is in the middle of filming, will come out on February 27, 2026.

While the exact plot is a mystery thus far, Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega will not be returning. However, fans can expect to see Matthew Lillard, Mason Gooding, and Jasmin Savoy Brown gracing the big screen again.

7. The Mandalorian and Grogu — In Theaters May 22, 2026

Lucasfilm Ltd. & TM

If you've been waiting for season four of The Mandalorian, you might have to wait a little longer because Din Djarin and Grogu will be visiting theaters next.

This highly anticipated movie will be released on May 22, 2026. Following the events of the TV series' third season, Din Sjarin and Grogu are now working with the New Republic to track down Imperial Remnant leaders, setting the stage for a showdown with Grand Admiral Thrawn and his rising threat.

With Mandalore reclaimed and Moff Gideon seemingly defeated, this film is expected to bridge the gap between the series and the larger conflict unfolding in the Star Wars universe.

8. The Odyssey — In Theaters July 17, 2026

Christopher Nolan is taking on one of history's greatest epics with The Odyssey, a cinematic retelling of Homer's legendary tale that will debut on July 17, 2026.

The film follows Odysseus on his treacherous journey home after the Trojan War, where he encounters mythical dangers like the Sirens, Polyphemus, and Circe. Read up on the incredible cast!

9. Spider-Man 4 — In Theaters July 25, 2026

Columbia Pictures/Marvel Studios/Sony Pictures

Tom Holland will return to the big screen in Spider-Man 4 on July 25, 2026, just a few months after Avengers: Doomsday.

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Holland confirmed that production for the film, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, will begin in mid-2025.

10. GOAT — In Theaters February 13, 2026

On March 2, Venus, the planet of love and values, goes retrograde until April 13. It begins in Aries, moves back into Pisces on March 29, and turns direct in Aries again on May 1. As the northern hemisphere inches toward spring, embrace Aries’ energy — the same force that allows tulips to break through frozen ground and flowers to bloom from dormant branches. Each morning, visualize the vitality of spring as motivation to step beyond your comfort zone.

On March 3, Mercury, the planet of communication and learning, follows Venus into Aries. We may find ourselves reacting impulsively, craving instant results. The best way to use this energy is to streamline communication — speak wisely, concisely, and clearly. Stay physically active to keep this fiery energy flowing in a positive direction. If frustration arises, take a walk, cool down, and then plan your next move.

With both Mercury and Venus in Aries, we can accomplish a great deal — just be sure to channel your energy wisely for the greatest good. On March 5, Mercury forms a sextile with Pluto, drawing us toward deep conversations, mysteries, and intellectual pursuits like psychology or astrology. This is a powerful time to combine intellect and intuition to gain insight into complex or perplexing issues.

This week’s planetary shifts encourage bold action, honest self-reflection, and meaningful communication. Tap into Aries’ dynamic energy to push past limitations and embrace new opportunities with confidence. Use this time wisely, and remember — your choices shape your destiny.
