<p><span>I'll be the first to admit that I don't use my </span><a target="_blank" href="http://olloclip.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Olloclip</a><span> iPhone lens kits as much as I could. There's a reason for that -- I hate having to take my slim-line case off of my iPhone 6 Plus just to be able to shoot an ultra wide-angle, telephoto or macro photo with one of the lenses. That's about to change, since Olloclip has announced the new </span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.olloclip.com/product/iphone6-ollocase/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Ollocase for iPhone 6 and 6 Plus</a><span> (US$29.95).</span></p>

<p><span>More often than not, my iPhones over the years have had a constant companion -- a mophie juice pack or juice pack air battery pack. While the big battery capacity of the iPhone 6 Plus has made that accessory less of a "must have" so far, there are a lot of people who own the iPhone 6 who might need the extra power in a juice pack. Now they can have both 2,750 mAh of battery power and complete waterproof protection in one package -- the </span><a target="_blank" href="http://www.mophie.com/shop/juice-pack-h2pro" rel="noopener noreferrer">juice pack H2PRO</a><span> ($129.95, pre-order only)</span></p>

<p><span>Back in 2009, <a target="_blank" href="http://droplr.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">Droplr</a> hit the world as a file sharing and collaboration tool, and all was good... until the team started charging for its service. With a number of other sharing tools already available -- like Dropbox -- a lot of us who were along for the ride stopped using Droplr. I really missed being able to just upload a file and have a link to it copied to my clipboard, but I couldn't justify the subscription cost. The app and service has a core of about 150,000 users who continued to use Droplr, and now it's back with a freemium model and new iOS app.</span></p>
