Best Leather Protective Cover For iPhone 12

My old cover for my iPhone 12 Pro was looking a bit tacky and the credit card folder wasn’t holding the credit cards in securely. It was time I updated my iPhone cover. Because I loved the old one so much I wanted to get something that had the same features. It took me ages searching Amazon until I found the best leather protective Cover For my iPhone 12 Pro.

Why I Love My iPhone Leather Case

One thing I want to make clear is that it’s made from PU leather, a synthetic material that mimics the look and feel of genuine leather. And let me tell you, it definitely looks the part.

I like that, like my old cover, it has a magnetic strap to hold the cover shut. The new cover also has holes in it so that you can take calls with the cover closed. Something the old cover lacked.

iPhone 12 Pro With Magnetic Phone Case

I love that the magnetic phone case, as you can see in the image on the left, has a hole cut out of it which will now allow me to charge it from within the case Like my previous case it’s detachable, a feature that I find indispensable.

The credit card slots hold the cards securely and there are slots in the cover itself to hold some essential iPhone tools. like the sim card tray pin.

The magnet on the cover is strong enough to hold the phone securely to metal objects such as a fridge other than car mount.

I am love this cover and highly recommend the iPhone 12 Pro With Magnetic Phone Case which you can purchase for just under $26.

Is FileVault Enough

Everyone is concerned about cybersecurity. We all know hackers are out there, and they would love nothing better than to hack our computers.

Fortunately, Mac owner’s data is encrypted automatically, if they have Apple silicon or an Apple T2 Security Chip. Having FileVault provides an extra layer of security by keeping Cyber Creeps from decrypting or getting access to your data without entering your login password. If your Mac doesn’t have Apple silicon or the T2 chip, you will need to turn on FileVault to encrypt your data. See this article to learn how to turn FileVault on.

Is FileVault Enough To Protect Your Data?

I don’t believe so. Sure, it encrypts the data on your computer, but how about when you are surfing the net? It’s when you are online that you are most at risk. And it’s not just browsing the web that could give hackers the chance to get to you. Even chatting via messaging apps not to mention the downloading of software, are some of the things that can put you at risk.

I know I am not that computer illiterate, and I don’t clear my browser history often enough because it is all too hard. When I do think of doing it, I always have to resort to Google to find out how to do it, and it takes several attempts before I find one that I can understand.

That’s why I was so relieved when I found that CleanMyMac X keeps my online and offline activity private. In today’s world of nasty hackers who have no scruples security and privacy should be our top priority. Fortunately, tools like FileVault and CleanMyMac X guarantee extra protection assuring our information won’t be compromised.

I think it’s time I show you just how easily CleanMyMac X ensures that extra level of protection. You can watch the video here.

Why YouTube Closed Captions Matter

How Important Are Closed Captions

Are you wondering about how necessary captions are for your YouTube videos? Will captions bring you more views?

Interestingly enough, Digital Discovery Network did a study that showed that captioned videos bring in 7.32% more views. That alone should encourage most YouTubers to start adding captions. And there is more.

What Is Metadata &How Crucial Is It?

We all know how crucial metadata is to YouTube, including your title, descriptions, and tags! TechTarget says that “Metadata is data that describes other data, providing a structured reference that helps to sort and identify attributes of the information it describes.” YouTube reads this data relating to your video, and it’s all taken into account when running their algorithms. Captions are part of that metadata, and not having that can be detrimental to the views that you could be getting.

How To Caption Your Videos

There are several ways you can caption your videos. You could do it manually and then upload them, but that is so time-consuming, I tried it once and decided life was too short to waste my time when it could be used to do other more constructive tasks.

You can let YouTube do it for you and I can tell you I’ve tried that too but YouTube does a pretty poor job of it. I reckon you’d be lucky if the captions YouTube provides you are more than 60-70% correct. Then you have to go into the captioning area and edit YouTube’s captions. Not correcting YouTube’s faulty captions means you’re presenting the wrong metadata and giving the wrong information about what your video is about.

More Important Than Metadata

Something even more important than metadata is that 36 million people in America alone are deaf or have trouble hearing. Let alone the other countless millions that live around the world. Then some people don’t have hearing problems and watch YouTube videos with captions because they don’t want to bother the people around them.

There are countless of times when I wish a video had captions because I couldn’t understand what was said. In cases such as this, captions have proven to increase comprehension.

Best App For Captioning You Videos

I’m writing this post is to let you know that I have found an app that makes captioning a cinch. That app is called VidCap and is part of the Setapp arsenal of hundreds of quality apps, all at the low subscription price of $9.99/month. You can read all about Setapp in my Is Setapp Worth The Money post or watch my video Is The Setapp Subscription any good?

Watch my video Does Setapp’s VidCap Captions Work to see VidCap in action.

All in all, captioning is going to help your channel, making it more accessible to a lot more people. YouTube knows this, which is why they include it in their metadata. Personally, I’m going to go through all my videos, adding captions to those that I believe need it.
