Beats unleashed one of the more unique and compelling cases for Apple’s latest iPhone 17 lineup this year with is Kickstand model. We came away impressed with the integrated 2-in-1 lanyard-meets-stand adapter and there are some notable discounts live right now at up to 62% off. They are, confusingly, spread across two different Amazon listings (here and here), but we have highlighted the lowest-priced options for each iPhone 17 model below to help the cause. 

Baseus 45W Wall Charger with USB-C Cable (2-pack)

Buy for $18 (Reg. $30)

Enter promo code VZ2CY9CM for $2.42 off.

What we love

You’re getting a solid value here, especially since a single unit of this charger usually costs around $26 on its own. You also get two included USB-C cables, each measuring 3.3 feet. The chargers support 45W fast charging for your new iPhone and are compact enough to carry around without any hassle.

LISEN 3-in-1 Qi2 15W MagSafe Charging Station

Buy for $24 (Reg. $44)

What we love

There’s something about the simplicity of this style that appeals to me. It’s not flashy, and if anything looks pretty much like a power bank when collapsed. I prefer that sort of thing for gear like this, especially if you just want to throw it in a travel bag.

Baseus Enercore 67W Retractable USB-C Charger

Buy for $20 (Reg. $60)

Enter promo code TKP4CVDL for 34% off at checkout.

What we love

Chargers with retractable cables are super popular these days, and this deal gets you a 67W Baseus unit at an unmissable price. You can use this to fast charge your latest iPhone at up to 45W, and it even comes two additional Type-C ports along with foldable AC prongs.

UGREEN’s 15W Qi2 3-in-1 MagFlow charger quickly became one of my favorites when I went hands-on with it earlier this year. The new model we’re checking out today builds on it with faster 25W Qi2.2 charging and a more compact design that fits better on smaller desks and packs easily for travel. I’ve been using UGREEN’s latest 3-in-1 Qi2.2 25W charging station for a few weeks now, and it has honestly been an excellent upgrade – especially since my desk has gotten more crowded with some new gear. Hit the jump to learn more about this charger in detail.

We recently detailed our hands-on experience with Bluebonnet gear – American-made leather goods that elevate your Apple kit with gorgeous Apple Watch bands, iPhone cases, wallets, and more. If this gear wasn’t already on your radar it should be, and if it was you’re probably aware of how rare price drops are – you can now use code 9to5 at checkout to knock 20% off your order. 

Creating content may look easy, but anyone who’s tried it knows there’s a lot happening behind the scenes. The right gear can make a huge difference, and choosing something to gift that’s actually useful – and not wildly expensive – can be tricky. Whether they’re filming TikToks, YouTube videos, streaming, podcasting, or just trying to look better on video calls, this guide rounds up practical, creator-friendly gifts that can instantly level up their setup.

It’s that time of year and if you’re still looking for some more affordable gift ideas to stuff a stocking or to complement something you already have, we have put together a list of some of our favorite low-cost options. From mini LEGO sets and charging gear through to box openers, and even some Switch accessories, you’ll find some notable ideas waiting below starting from $6 or so.

Spigen makes some of the more interesting and affordable Apple gear accessories out there. We had a chance to take a closer hands-on look at its new Alpine-style Loop this year, as well as its Trail Loop-like model, both of which come in a fraction of the price of the official Apple options, and we just spotted its brand new DA30S Wrist Lanyard for AirPods, iPhone, your keys, and just about anything else for just $17 Prime shipped. 

Running alongside its ongoing Cyber Week power station sale, EcoFlow has launched a special Christmas promotion on its RAPID series of power banks, including its latest Qi2 magnetic solutions that were just released/launched for preorder, which gives you an additional 10% savings when your cart’s order totals $100 or more (with a continuing 5% code available for orders under that amount). If you’re not seeking to buy multiple units to reach that savings threshold, things start with EcoFlow’s RAPID Pro 20,000mAh 230W Power Bank with a built-in 100W cable at $125.99 shipped, after using the code XMASPB10 at checkout, beating its Amazon pricing by $14. Normally going for $180 at full price since hitting the market in later summer, discounts have mostly kept costs above $140, though we did see more recent falls to $130 and the $120 low since October. If you missed that low Black Friday pricing, you’re getting the next-best rate here this month with a combined $54 cut from the tag. Head below to check out the full lineup of power bank deals that you can pick up for your holiday gifts.

We have explored many of the best full grain leather-focused accessory brands out there, but a new independent purist straight out on the lone star state was recently picked on our radar – Bluebonnet. After getting our hands-on some of its iPhone 17 cases and Apple Watch bands, we think it should probably be on yours too. 

Today Satechi is officially unveiling the latest expansion to its growing OnTheGo collection with its brand new pocket-sized 7-in-1 Multiport Adapter. Now available for purchase on the official site, this handy new gadget delivers all-in-one connectivity anywhere. 

Much like the Backbone One controller that got the Xbox Edition treatment earlier this year, the Pro model is now getting a similar facelift. The Backbone Pro – Xbox Edition is now up for grabs at Amazon, Best Buy, and directly at Backbone’s site for $179.99 shipped. That, in case you’re wondering, is $10 more than the standard Pro model that you can grab for $169.99 shipped. It offers the same functionality as the standard one, but comes with Xbox-specific buttons and shortcuts. Head below for a closer look and more details.

I have been wondering when one of my favorite accessory brands was going to release a metal Find My Wallet card that actually looks like a premium credit card – Nomad just did. The new Tracking Card Pro just debuted on the official site at $39, or you can score two of them at 10% off. Details await below. 

Today Pebbelbee is announcing its next-generation tracking devices for Apple Find My and Google Find Hub. Once again taking a platform universal approach, the 5th generation trackers come in the form of the updated Card 5 and Clip 5. Scope them out below. 

California-based SANDMARC is a well-known and beloved Apple gear accessory maker around here. It’s new metal and leather iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air cases have been a poplar option among readers and its metal Apple Watch bands are simply gorgeous (I’m wearing one right now), but the brand’s real expertise is on iPhoneography gear and it just unveiled its brand new Telephoto Tetraprism Lens Edition for iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max – head below to land an exclusive launch deal on one. 

There have been a couple major brands to unleash new 25W Qi2.2 MagSafe charging stands – the display-equipped model from Anker and the Belkin UltraCharge Pro we reviewed previously come to mind. But now, Nomad – a top-tier accessory maker and one of our favorites – is ready to unleash its very first 25W models in the form of the next-generation Stand One and Stand One Max. 

It’s true that most modern cars come equipped with a couple of USB ports or even wireless charging pads, but nothing quite matches the convenience of a dedicated charger that plugs into the auxiliary port for fast, reliable power delivery. While Amazon is packed with car chargers of every kind, the Baseus PrimeTrip VR2 Max model, we’re checking out today, stands out from the crowd. This unit not only features multiple ports and connectors to charge up to four devices at once, but it also swivels and rotates for flexible positioning. That means you can easily adjust it to your seating setup for added convenience. I recently took it along on a road trip, and it’s quickly become my go-to car charger. Here’s a closer look at why I believe it’s such a dependable and well-designed pick.

Belkin is one of the first brands out of the gate with new 25W MagSafe charging stands and today we are taking a hands-on look at the flagship UltraCharge Pro model. Delivering certified Qi2.2 25W charging with optional ChillBoost active cooling, let’s dive in to see if the faster charging and built-in fan are worth upgrading from the 15W model you already have.

UGREEN was among the first to roll out its Qi2.2 25W chargers, joining brands like Anker and ESR in bringing the new standard to market. We’ve already tested its Qi2 25W 2-in-1 MagSafe charger and its 10,000mAh MagSafe power bank, and now, we’re taking a closer look at the MagFlow 3-in-1 Qi2.2 25W MagSafe wireless charging station. This has now become my go-to bedside charging station to power my iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods. I’ve been using it on my nightstand for the past couple of weeks, and here’s a detailed look at how it’s held up.

Apple unleashed the all-new Apple iPhone Air MagSafe Battery – a tailored made magnetic power bank for the iPhone Air (you can also use it on the 17 Pro Max as you can see right here). It looks super sleek, if not slightly awkward on the wrong color iPhone Air/case setup to me, and it’s also wildly expensive for what it is – let’s take a look at some Apple iPhone Air MagSafe Battery alternatives (for a whole lot less than $99).

While somewhat divisive in terms of design, I personally love the SANDMARC iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max metal and leather cases. In previous year’s, the brand’s unique metal cage camera array protection was only available for the pro-grade iPhone models, but with the launch of Apple’s new thin-as-Air handset, it has decided to expand its reach and deliver its all-new iPhone Air Pro Leather Case in black or brown – and we have an exclusive deal for you using code 9TO5TOYS at checkout. 

Today Anker unleashed its all-new 2025 range of Prime charging gear, complete with onboard displays, 25W MagSafe action, and more. We have already detailed the early launch deals right here, as well as a feature on the brand new 25W 3-in-1 MagSafe Charging Stand with onboard cooling, a display of its own, and the companion app, but now we are taking a look at the launch deal on, what is for many, another highlight from the new releases – the Anker Prime Power Bank (26K, 300W). Details below.
