ESR Hybrid Magnetic Case iPhone 17 Pro Max : Review

ESR Hybrid Magnetic Case iPhone 17 Pro Max : Review

ESR Hybrid Magnetic Case iPhone 17 Pro Max

The ESR Hybrid Magnetic Case for the iPhone 17 Pro Max is one of the entry level cases available from ESR for the new 2025 iPhone range.

In fact the Hybrid Magnetic case is the cheapest in the range, at £11.99 at Amazon with an RRP of £12.99.

It was also the first case I purchased for my iPhone 17 Pro Max, and that was for two reasons.

  1. As is now common place from ESR, they always have their products ready to go for launch. That’s important, and commendable in its own right. You buy a new phone, you want a case for it and ESR are always ready for launch day, so no waiting, no expected shipping, just a case that is ready when you phone arrives.
  2. It offers full camera bump protection. The new iPhone 17s come with a radically new camera bump design, and until we see how things go with new design I opted for maximum protection of the hump, however, in protecting that hump you must be sure there is nothing to interfere with with those gorgeous new 3 x 48 megapixel image shooters on your new device. That is why I opted for this, maximum protection for the hump, and minimal outlay should it interfere. (Spoiler – it doesn’t, at all).

Should I be worried about the hump? The 2025 iPhone Scandal – ScratchGate

Eufy Smart Scales Review

Eufy Smart Scales Review :

For over five years I have been using a set of Eufy Smart Scales (C1) – so this review is probably well overdue! But it also means that it earns the title of long term review!

However – they are still in use, still working exactly as they did on Day 1, and have only had the batteries replaced once!

And, for the review I will keep it pretty concise.

An updated schedule has been announced by the Isle of Man TT Races as well some important changes to the race classes. Full details and the Press Release from the Official TT Pages can be found below :


UPDATED SCHEDULE AND RACE CLASSES CONFIRMED FOR TT 2026

An updated schedule has been confirmed for the 2026 Isle of Man TT Races, designed to add greater resilience and flexibility to the programme, support the welfare of competitors, teams, marshals, medics and race officials, and enhance the experience for visitors.

These refinements are in line with the TT’s long-term strategy created to deliver a sustainable, world-class event that drives increasing benefit to the Island’s economy.

Following the introduction of the restructured format in 2023 – and after welcoming 51,650 fans to the Island for TT 2025, the highest in over 15 years – the 2026 updates reflect a strategic and considered approach shaped by operational learnings, stakeholder feedback, and future planning. This growth has also enabled the event to welcome more visiting marshals and volunteers into the TT community, further strengthening the successful delivery of the races.

The 2026 schedule brings with it a number of important enhancements. The number of scheduled rest days has been increased from two to three, with Qualifying Week now featuring a rest day on Thursday. This will allow competitors, marshals, medics, officials, and volunteers valuable downtime after three days of on-course action. The number of planned practice and qualifying sessions will also increase from six to seven, including an additional daytime session on Wednesday. This adaption continues the trend away from evening sessions while providing riders with more opportunities to prepare for the race programme.

The “Awe-Dropping” event on September 9th, 2025, (18:00 GMT)  is shaping up to be one of Apple’s most anticipated keynotes in recent memory. Whether you’re an iPhone loyalist, an audio enthusiast, or simply love cutting-edge technology, there’s undoubtedly something to look forward to.

More importantly, the invitation states ‘Join us in person’ which hopefully means a movement away from the pre recorded keynotes we have become accustomed to since Covid-19.

2025 Manx Grand Prix Schedule

If you are lucky enough to be visiting the Isle of Man this year for either the Manx Grand or Classic TT check out the TBNI.Blog Visitors’ Guide.


The Manx Motor Cycle Club is pleased to confirm the dates for the 2025 Manx Grand Prix, which will take place from Sunday 17th August to Monday 25th August 2025 on the iconic Isle of Man TT Mountain Course

The 2025 edition promises to deliver an increased number of races as part of the fresh, action-packed modern race programme that will see the event return to its clubman sporting roots, focusing on developing the next generation of TT riders and upholding the traditions of the famous event going into its 102nd year..

The six days of practicing will commence on Sunday 17th August 2025 ahead of the four-race schedule taking place across the action-packed Summer Bank Holiday weekend, with the 2025 Manx drawing to a close on Monday 25th August with the headline Senior MGP Race.

With the Supersport and Supertwin machines now at the heart of the programme, spectators can expect intense competition, showcasing the skill and dedication of motorcycle road racing’s rising stars. The new schedule will maintain the spirit of the Manx Grand Prix while also evolving to provide a fresh experience for racers and fans alike.

A key change for the upcoming event is the removal of classic racing from the Manx Grand Prix schedule. This decision allows the reintroduction of the Classic TT, which will run in tandem as a standalone event in the Isle of Man’s racing calendar. This move is aimed at sustaining a second Mountain Course road race event, allowing the Manx Motor Cycle Club to concentrate on modern racing categories and its long-standing tradition of nurturing rising stars of the sport.

John McBride, Chairman of the Manx Motor Cycle Club said:  “We are incredibly excited for the 2025 Manx Grand Prix. The revised race programme, and modern racing focus will offer competitors and fans alike a highly competitive and thrilling spectacle. We are pleased to be able to give our riders better value for money with two races per class, as well as increased practice time, and feel that this re-focused approach, will ensure that the event can continue to play an important role in road racing for many years to come.”
