MagSafe wallets are a great alternative to traditional wallets, especially if you prefer to travel light with just a couple of cards and little to no cash. I personally love the convenience – they let me leave my regular wallet behind and carry one less item every time I step out. Having said that, I’m yet to find the one that checks all the right boxes for me. Most MagSafe wallets I’ve tried either don’t have enough space and barely fit one or two cards, or they don’t feel sturdy enough to keep my cards securely in place. The one we’re checking out here from SUPCASE seem to get a lot of things right while also adding some notable extras. Let’s dive in and see what it’s like to use one of these every day.

Apple’s updated MagSafe charger, introduced alongside the iPhone 16 lineup last year, is currently the only magnetic wireless charger capable of delivering up to 25W of power.

As part of its wider sale on Samsung monitors, Woot is offering the brand’s Odyssey OLED G8 4K UHD 240Hz gaming monitor down at $799.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise).

Woot’s offer may not get you that free monitor, but it shaves a solid $500 off this model’s usual going rate, landing it $75 below its previous all-time low and our mention last month. This is the lowest price we have tracked for this gaming monitor to date, and you can learn more about it below.

One of the biggest issues I often run into with Hall effect gaming keyboards is that they typically fall short when it comes to typing experience outside of gaming. The few that do get it right – or at least come close – like the Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE, usually cost over $300. As someone who enjoys building and tweaking mechanical keyboards as a hobby, I found myself constantly switching between standard mechanical keyboards for typing and Hall effect models for gaming. That changed when I got my hands on the Luminkey Magger68 Pro HE. Built by a brand known for offering a wide range of layouts and catering to enthusiasts with “high-end” custom boards, the Magger68 strikes that rare balance, at least for me. It’s not only great for typing but also includes all the key magnetic keyboard features like customizable actuation points. I’ve been using it as my main keyboard for both work and gaming over the past few weeks, and in this review, I’ll break down whether it’s worth considering for your setup.

I’ve recently swapped out UGREEN’s Uno Qi2 15W 2-in-1 charger for this model, and it’s been a great upgrade for my desk — especially since it’s more compact and supports an extra device. Dive in below for my hands-on impressions of the UGREEN 15W 3-in-1 MagFlow charger.
