Some Note 7 owners have already taken to selling their packaging on eBay, and some listings are calling for as much as $60.

Here’s how.
It’s not easy to find MacBook cases that are both protective and good-looking; you usually have to choose between the two. But Gumdrop Cases has hit the nail on the head with its new DropTech case.
