UV flashlight phone case

Want to charge your glowscars using your phone, but your phone’s flashlight does not cut it, and you don’t want to carry a flashlight around? I modded my phone case to include a reversed QI to USB charge receiver and high-power 365 nm LED. This way the LED can be powered by the phone’s QI power share feature. The mod is entirely non-intrusive - NFC still works, and if you want to remove it, just swap the case. I used these parts: Phone: Samsung S10+ Case: Any will do, thick ones preferred, …

Finally a Fidesmo Enabled US Payment Solution

Hey everyone, ​I know a lot of us in the US have been completely stuck since Curve US folded, leaving us without a reliable domestic partner for Fidesmo Pay. I’m excited to share that I finally got my Apex Ring working for contactless payments here in the States! ​If you’ve been sitting on a ring (or an Apex Flex/FlexSecure), the solution is to use Ether.fi or Kast.
