The Alto handmade wooden iPhone 16 cases are now ready for purchase, and we have an exclusive deal for you too. Featuring your choice of locally sourced woods, the Alto Collective case design takes a different approach from your average mass-produced brands out there – everything is handmade and made to order. Straying from your average plastic and silicone body designs, Alto makes use of “beautiful woods sourced locally from FSC certified lumber mills and distributors” that remain “100% compatible with Qi wireless and MagSafe charging.” On top of that, everything is completely customizable, from the wood and colors you choose to the brand’s special form of laser engraving – you can leave the wooden case back natural, or have anything you want engraved right into it. The new wooden iPhone 16 cases are now live on the site along with its custom options (more on this below) and 9to5 readers can score 20% off their purchase using code 9TO5MAC at checkout. 

The new WaterField iPhone 16 Shinjuku Slingbag has arrived to neatly stow your new Apple handset and other everyday carry items. WaterField is another one of the standout artisan Apple and tech accessory makers out there, from bags and carriers of all sorts to MacBook sleeves and wallets, its gear is handcrafted in San Francisco by a small team of artisans and designers. Known for its use of a combination of natural materials, textiles, and fabrics, much of its collection features a waxed canvas treatment with hits of leather and the new iPhone 16 Shinjuku Sling bag carries that tradition forward. Now available for purchase in various colorways directly from the WaterField site, you can take a closer look down below.

Anker has had a strong series of new gear releases as of late, first with its new Prime Power stations complete with onboard color displays, and more recently its new IFA gear. We also featured the 3-in-1 15W travel charger, but now we are looking at another piece of its latest Qi2 gear with its slimline MagGo power banks. It’s not its first portable battery pack to feature the new charging standard, we have already featured the model with an onboard display and kickstand you can score for the same price, but the new model does deliver a higher-end design otherwise alongside a thinner form-factor. Now available for purchase, head below for more details and some information on how to score a launch deal. 

After launching a USB-C robot charger and a charging cable, UGREEN has now debuted a Uno MagSafe 5,000mAh power bank with the same vibe. Now available for purchase on Amazon at just $35.99 shipped thanks to a 20% launch deal, this new MagSafe power bank features a built-in display to showcase adorable robotic facial expressions. Head below fore more details and a closer look at this new power bank.

Joining its new 3-in-1 15W travel charger that debuted at IFA 2024 yesterday, Anker is also unleashing a new Qi2 MagSafe stand with rotating charging pad for a more versatile viewing experience. This time we are looking at a singular iPhone charging setup with a more than affordable $36 price tag and you can dive into the details down below. 

Hot on the heels of new Qi2 charging gear from Anker and Belkin, ESR has now shown off some of its new Qi2 MagSafe charging gear at IFA 2024 in Berlin. ESR’s new collection includes a 3-in-1 MagSafe Charger, a Qi2 Car Mount Charger, and a Qi2 MagSafe Battery Pack with a kickstand. These new Qi2 chargers are now available to purchase from Amazon, with the MagSafe Qi2 car charger landing a 13% launch deal. Head below for more details on each of them.

IFA 2024 is in full swing and Belkin just debuted a series of new Qi2 chargers headlined, at least for me, by the new 2-in-1 Magnetic Charging Travel Pad. It looks a lot like the discontinued Apple MagSafe Duo charger, but with a fabric-wrapped charcoal finish and 15W Qi2 power. Now available for purchase directly from Belkin with Amazon listings inbound soon, hit the jump for a closer look here. 

Anker has taken to the show floor at IFA 2024 in Berlin to show off some of its latest tech, including its new MagSafe-compatible MagGo UFO Charger – a 3-in-1 foldable travel charger with Qi2. The brand has been making a strong push into the 15W Qi2 space across this year alongside range of new charging devices headlined by a series of new MagSafe charging stands and its 250W Prime Charging Stations with the onboard status/clock display, but now it’s time for some on-the-go gear. Dive in below for a closer look at the new MagGo 3-in-1 Qi2 UFO Charger and more. 

The official Anker Amazon storefront is now offering its 2024 upgraded 2-in-1 Qi2 15W MagGo charging stand starting at $37.50 shipped once you clip the on-page coupon. Ready for iPhone 12 through, presumably, 16 as well as a Android devices with a proper MagSafe case in place, this is a regularly $50 charging stand that is now seeing a solid 25% price drop. It comes within $1.50 of the lowest we have tracked and delivers one of the best values you’ll find from a trusted brand in the 15W 2-in-1 stand space. 

Woot is now offering a 2-pack of Samsung 25W USB-C Super Fast Wall Chargers with a pair of USB-C cables to go along with them down at $24.99. This deal is available in both the black and white colorways. Shipping is free for Prime members or in orders over $25. Very similar 25W chargers sell for $35 a pop directly from Samsung. Today’s deal yields a price at $12.50 each for these official Samsung charger packages and includes the full 1-year Samsung warranty – they do ship in general bulk packaging though. 

Just after featuring the brand’s USB-C robot charger with the onboard display and magnetic feet, UGREEN has now brought its adorable robotic facial expressions and built-in display to its latest Uno USB-C charging cable. We feature a ton of charging cables around here, but it’s not very often you see a braided one with a built-in LED screen that delivers real-time charging status by way of cute facial expressions, that’s for sure. Now available for purchase on Amazon at just $12.99 Prime shipped, head below for more details. 

We have been featuring iPhone cases around here for years, but perhaps nothing quite like the new GameBaby from Bitmo Lab. Combining a somewhat traditional iPhone case with Game Boy-like controls, the new GameBaby delivers a sort of two-piece cover that brings some physical gaming controls to iPhone 15 Max and iPhone 16 Max, according to the brand. Now available for pre-order ahead of next week’s iPhone 16 reveal, you can score one down at $19.99 from the regular $40 price tag during the pre-sale phase. 

UGREEN is now out with a sweet new robot charger, but this time with even more ports, more power, and even more adorable facial expressions for the built-in display. This might look like just a cute little robot toy that happens to be a charger, and it very much is, but it is indeed also a serious charging solution with notable output power, some interesting features, and an onboard display that shows off some personality too. Now available for purchase via the brand’s official Amazon storefront, you can get more details on the new 100W UGREEN Uno Nexode Robot Charger below. 

The best Labor Day deals are already starting to flood in even before we get into the weekend. While we are expecting more come Monday, there is plenty of incredible deals up for grabs right now.

Welcome to our collection of the best Labor Day deals under $30. While Labor Day typically ushers in big-time price drops on more pricey gear like smart TVs and Apple tech, home appliances, and e-bikes, and we have certainly featured offers on all of those things, we thought it would be helpful to put the spotlight on some of the less expensive gear we love that is seeing notable deals ahead of Labor Day weekend too. Spread across a range of product categories, from charging and smart home gear to travel companion gadgets, mini smart speakers, and some grilling accessories, you’ll find some of our favorite Labor Day deals for under $30 highlighted down below, alongside the rest of the deals we have been tracking all week.

Just after taking a look at its new magnetic desk organization board, we have now spotted another new piece of magnetic kit from elago. This new elago Magnetic Phone Holder Mount is designed to attach to the back of your MacBook, laptop, iPad, or really anything like that to provide an elegant and adjustable magnetic holder for your iPhone (or other handsets with a magnetic case). It is also one of the few options from a brand we feature around here that comes in a nice silver finish and lands at a more affordable $24 Prime shipped price tag than some of the other similar gadgets we have featured in the past. 

Today we are taking a closer look at the new Spigen ArcField MagFit+ charging stand as part of the latest entry to our Tested with gadgetnewsonline series.

Check out our hands-on impressions below. 

It’s been a busy day in new product releases, and next up is ZAGG with its refreshed lineup of powerstation gear. We have been featuring the ZAGG accessories and mophie powerstations around for years – we just tested out its new iPhone 15 juice pack battery case and I still use/love its fabric-wrapped 45W 20,000mAh powerstation pro – but now the brand is ready to unleash its latest with three updated models and some integrated USB-C cable action. Head below for a closer look at each of them and some launch bundle deals too. 

Today we are getting a new Twelve South travel charger. The new ButterFly SE 2-in-1 Qi2 Travel Charger for iPhone and Apple Watch is the latest edition of the brand’s already available Butterfly 2-in-1 USB-C MagSafe model that we know and love – it was just showcased in our first-ever gadgetnewsonline Travel Kit feature, but this time with 15W Qi2 charging action. Going up for pre-order today, it comes in three new colorways and lands with an even lower price tag. 

On our very first edition of the new gadgetnewsonline Travel Kit series, we are heading to the Big Apple with our favorite weekend kit. And by we, I mean me, and this is the gear I plan on bringing with me. This will be a short and sweet trip to NYC for a few days with a more pleasure over work vibe, so I won’t need my full tech kit here, but I still want to ensure my phone is charged up and ready to go, I have favorite leather bag over my shoulder, and my passport ready to go. Head below to check out my favorite gear to bring for a weekend in the big city.

After featuring some of the brand’s wild new Prime power banks and power stations with onboard displays, today we are taking a look at one of Anker’s more modest (and affordable) new releases. The new 8-in-1 Anker Charging Station delivers a series of charging prowess by way of a collection of AC outlets as well as both USB-A/C ports in a super thin and compact form-factor. Best of all, it is landing with a nice launch deal via the brand’s official Amazon storefront. Head below for a closer look and more details. 

The new Nomad Stand One Max Qi2 magnetic charger has arrived. Harnessing the 15W of power the Qi2 charging standard comes along with, this time around its next-generation Stand One is getting the Max treatment with a new form-factor than the original while maintaining that Nomad look and feel with a metal and glass design as well as the 3-in-1 charging setup for your entire mobile Apple kit. Now available for purchase straight from the brand’s official site, you can head below for more details and some early hands-on impressions.

The heads-up, almost dashboard-like unit delivers on all of the usual charging prowess you would expect from a device like this, but with some serious output wattage to support even your most power hungry of gear alongside a conversation-starting display that would even have this tech writer saying something like, “what do we have here?” if I happened upon it for the first time in your setup.

Well today, it is taking its latest creation to Kickstarter to serve up some early bird deals on the new Geo Wallet with built-in Find My action. Pricing kicks off from just $38 for folks that opt in early (but you better act quick, as units are selling out fast) with delivery scheduled for September of this year. Head below for more details. 

After getting a chance to test out the SANDMARC Telephoto zoom lens for capturing distant images recently, it’s now time to bring it up close and personal with its 100mm iPhone Macro Lens.

Head below for my hands-on impressions of the 100mm iPhone Macro Lens and an exclusive deal in the latest edition of Tested with gadgetnewsonline.

The brand new Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 pre-orders are now live with major price drops (you can score a bonus $100 credit if you order through our links right here instead of the $50 Samsung offered by the way), and the new Spigen case collection is now arriving with some light launch deals of its own.

Here at gadgetnewsonline, many of our readers as well as our writers are huge fans of innovative charging solutions. This ranges from Anker’s powerful 167.5W car charger to UGREEN’s new 2-in-1 MagSafe charging station, among a bunch of others. That’s why the recently-released Baseus detachable power strip caught my attention. I typically take an overnight trip around once a month and it’s always a bit cumbersome to pull together all of my charging gear. I thought that one of latest releases from Baseus could help alleviate this, and it turns out that my suspicions were correct. Keep on reading to get my hands-on impressions as part of the latest entry to the Tested with gadgetnewsonline series.
