UGREEN’s 140W Nexode USB-C GaN charger refuels your whole Apple kit at $90 (Save $40)

Reg. $130/$90

UGREEN’s official Amazon storefront is now offering its latest 140W Nexode USB-C GaN Charger for $89.99 shipped. Normally fetching $120, you’re looking at a 25% price cut as well as only the third discount since launching late last fall. This matches the all-time low set only once before, and is the lowest we’ve seen in over a month. Capable of refueling your entire everyday carry from a handheld form-factor, this 140W charger from UGREEN comes centered around GaN technology. It notably sports a pair of USB-C ports, one of which can dish out the full 140W while the other is limited to a 100W max. Then there’s a typical USB-A slot that can of course still come in handy for topping off accessories and older devices in your kit. You’re also getting a braided nylon USB-C cable in the package to help streamline your setup. Head below for more.

Its covers regularly land in our best iPhone case roundups and now sit atop our picks for the best budget-friendly solutions of 2022. Before covering the launch of its new 3-card MagSafe wallet, we were impressed with our hands-on time with its iPhone 14 case collection during review, much like its previous-generation magnetic puck-style charger, but now it’s time for the new MagFit Spigen MagSafe charger.

Tested: The truly supple, tumbled leather Mous MagSafe wallet hits above its pay grade

Mous MagSafe Card Wallet review

Today we are taking a closer look at the Mous MagSafe Wallet. Mous is probably best known for its protective iPhone cases that don’t really give off that heavy-duty look and feel, but rather something of a more refined look in many cases that fall into the casual or even dressy category. While its MagSafe Card Wallet isn’t overly robust or rugged, it certainly caught our eye with its supple, tumbled leather build and slightly more unique design than many of the vertical-oriented options out there. But is it the right choice for you? Head below to find out in our hands-on review of the Mous MagSafe Card Wallet as part of our Tested with gadgetnewsonline series.

New Star Wars PopSockets launch today to embrace the dark side with premium 3D designs

Star Wars PopSockets

New Star Wars PopSockets are inbound. PopSockets – a brand many would say popularized those back-mounted smartphone grips – is expanding its premium collection today with the latest from a galaxy far, far away. While there are plenty of grips out there from a plethora of different brands, not very many of them offer up the kind of selection PopSockets does, from MagSafe and spinning options to enameled treatments, slidable models that can neatly get out of the way of wireless charging gear, and even grips you can customize yourself. But it’s now time to embrace the dark side. Head below for a closer look at the new Star Wars PopSockets.
