20% off/Order now!One of my favorite features of iPhone is MagSafe. The way it allows a wide variety of products to seamlessly connect with iPhone using magnets is right up my alley. I also love multipurpose products that feature a compact form factor. UGREEN’s new 2-in-1 charging station appears to nail both of these things, with photos making me an immediate fan. When not in use, it’s a lightweight and pocketable square that you can quickly expand to create a magnetic charging stand for iPhone and also reveal a Qi charging pad that’s perfect for AirPods.

Order now!/$40Anker’s latest product just popped up on Amazon and it’s made with road warriors in mind. In the product listing the company touts it’s new car charger as being “extremely compact” while having enough power to refuel any MacBook model at up to 100W. This is in addition to a couple of other devices that divvy up the remaining 67.5W of energy. Best of all, the pricing is quite reasonable given the fact that Anker has become one of our most trusted brands here at gadgetnewsonline and is widely available at major retailers. Keep on reading to learn all of the details.

Caseology unleashed its new MagSafe Mac folder wallets recently and we were lucky enough to score a sweet press package of all four styles to get a closer look.

Head below for a closer look at them and our hands-in impressions of the new Caseology (a Spigen sister brand) Mac folder MagSafe wallets in the latest Tested with gadgetnewsonline.

SANDMARC has becomes a popular brand around here – it makes some of the most gorgeous metal Apple Watch bands and leather iPhone cases you’ll find anywhere in my opinion, but at its core, it is an iPhoneography content creation company. It specializes in iPhone lens technology and add-ons, delivering a family of gear specifically geared towards content creators. The latest of which is its updated Film Rig 2.0 mounting system compatible with the latest iPhone 15 devices (and previous-generation models) to take your visuals, and the way you shoot them, to new heights.

We previously had a chance to go hands-on with the first iteration of Journey’s 2023 Apple Find My wallet, but the brand just launched a new one. While both remain in the lineup, the latest edition of Journey’s MagSafe Find My card holder adds some extra storage into the mix for a slight up-charge and joins the passport-ready form-factor to complete the EDC LOC8 lineup.

Okay, the (not so) FineWoven has not gone over well, but if you ask me, the official Apple Silicone Cases remain a solid option for folks with a penchant for first-party accessories. Over at Amazon today, we have spotted some price drops on a range of different colors options for iPhone 15, 15 Plus, and 15 Pro nearing 50% in savings in some cases. While some folks might already be set for iPhone 15 cases, with an eye on the upcoming 16 series handsets from Cupertino, some might rather stick with the current-gen and skip over to what could be the iPhone 17 Ultra – the next iPhone X moment. If you fall in the latter category today’s price drops on the Apple Silicone iPhone 15 cases might just be the summer fresh you’re after. Head below for a closer look.

We are now tracking a sweet deal on the epic little Shargeek Retro 67 USB-C charger with working matrix display. This vintage Mac-inspired charger launched at $80 after a brief crowdfunding deal and now carries a regular price at $69 directly from the brand. But over on its official Amazon storefront, you can secure one for $44.99 shipped after clipping on the on-page coupon. While it has been sitting at $50 for a couple months on Amazon, today’s deal is easily one of the best we have tracked outside of the limited early bird offers. Really the only thing we didn’t love about this one after going hands-on was the price, but that all changes with today’s deal. Head below for more.

Today we are taking a closer look at the new BANG!CASE for iPhone 14 Pro/Max and iPhone 15 Pro/Max. The interesting new iPhone cover debuted in mid-April courtesy of Bitmo Lab – an sspai and JSAUX brand – as what the company refers to as “the world’s first phone case with three customizable buttons.” It essentially adds a new button to your phone, acting as a sort of second Action Button you can customize to do any number of things. This high-tech approach to smartphone cases is also joined by an interesting clear case back to show of the tech required to run the button, some LED action, and you can still land one at 20% off ahead of launch next month.
