UGREEN’s new lineup of Nexode Air chargers has managed to stand out in the market with its compact design – and how! We took a look at the brand’s 65W Nexode Air ultra-mini USB-C GaN charger a few weeks back, and we’re now checking out the ultra-slim 45W Nexode Air model. This is easily the slimmest charger I have in my EDC right now, and it’s compact enough to slip into just about any of my pockets or bags. While it doesn’t quite match the 65W charging speeds of the other variant I tested earlier, I’ve found myself reaching for this slimmer one more often over the past few weeks simply because it’s so easy to carry around. Head below for a closer look and more details.

Nomad is expanding its stellar orange accessory lineup today to match your Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro. Earlier this year it debuted its new Stellar 240W USB-C ChargeKey tool, and today it is bringing its vibrant orange treatment to its Tracking Card Pro with Find My and its Qi2 25W Stand One MagSafe charger with some launch promotions. Details below. 

The Google Pixel 10 deals are still flying as we move into a new work week, and we also have ongoing discounts on open-box units with as much as $420 slashed from the new list prices. But those deals are also joining a series of ongoing price drops on Google’s latest slate of official Pixel 10a and Pixelsnap cases for the Pixel 10 lineup for folks who might have just secured themselves a handset at a discount. Head below for a closer look. 

KeySmart was among the first brands out of the gate with a fully re-chargeable Find My Wallet Card, and today it is releasing its new and improved model – the SmartCard Pro. 

Today SANDMARC is expanding its iPhone accessory expertise to the handlebars with its new Creator Bike Mount – “the first precision-machined aluminum bike mount built for riders who demand more from their handlebar.” And we have an exclusive launch deal for you using code 9TO510 at checkout. 

After the launch of its new CableStay USB-C cable anchor last month, the folks are touching down again today with the ultra-mini PowerClip power bank. 

Arc’s unique aerospace-grade metal iPhone bumper cases have been making headlines for a few years now. It has since introduced a special brand of functional design to the Samsung Galaxy lineup, Google Pixel Pro devices, and even wrapped your AirPods case in its aluminum frames, but today it is taking its “design-led” accessory approach to your AirTag. 

Last year, head of Star Wars Day, Piaggio Fast Forward introduced the world to its real-life, G1T4-M1N1 Star Wars helper droid bot, and today it is announcing a new special edition version to bring you your very own Grogu hovering pram. 

Star Wars Day is quickly approaching and in celebration of May the 4th this year, CASETiFY is launching an all-new collection of Mandalorian and Grogu tech accessories.

I’ve upgraded my kit since the last time I posted one of these, and I’ve added a few new pieces to my setup just in time for an upcoming trip to Japan, where I’m hoping to capture some beautiful cherry blossoms before the season ends. That makes this a great time to run through what’s making the cut this time around. I’m yet again keeping things relatively light while still covering the essentials to stay charged, keep track of my gear, and have a camera ready instead of relying on my iPhone camera. Below is a quick look at the tech I’ll be packing into my EDC this time, along with why each item earned a spot in the bag.

Nomad has long been one of our favorites in the leather Apple gear accessory game. It makes some of the nicest iPhone cases and Apple Watch bands (among other things) in the business and it has just announced its new Camino leather lineup. 

Satechi is the maker of one of my personal favorite MagSafe charging stands – this metal 3-in-1 model right here, but today it is finally ready to jump into the next-generation with a brand new 25W unit and an upgraded design. 

Nomad already unleashed its latest Find My-equipped MagSafe Wallet, but it has just issued a new Limited Edition model with its gorgeous Olde Dublin leather treatment. 

Nomad makes some of, if not, the best Find My Tracking Cards on the market if you ask, and it just unleashed its first Google Find My Hub model, as first spotted by the squad over at 9to5Google. Now available for purchase, you can also land a nice launch deal – Buy 2 save 10%. 

While there are plenty of newer Qi2.2 25W chargers on the market now, the standard Qi2 15W models are still very relevant and widely used. This is particularly true in the case of portable power banks, as many prioritize convenience factors like compact size and portability over the absolute fastest charging speeds. That’s where the Baseus Picogo power bank we’re checking out today stands out. It’s one of the more popular options available, and honestly, the smallest one I carry in my EDC these days. The compact form factor alone often makes me reach for it over other options I own. That said, there’s more to this model than just its size, and you can read more about my experience using it below.

It has been a minute since we checked in with the accessory makers over at Journey, but the brand has now unleashed its all new Qi2 25W SUMMIT ULTRA 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station. Now available for purchase, you can also land a solid 20% launch discount simply by adding it to the cart. 

ORICO makes some pretty neat compact smartphone gear, including docks, SSDs, and enclosures, and the K20 Mini we’re looking at today is one of its newer drives on its catalog. It’s a portable magnetic SSD that snaps onto the back of a MagSafe-compatible iPhone and connects via a short USB-C cable to add quick extra storage. I’ve actually replaced the Crucial X9 I used with my iPhone and MacBook with this drive, and you can learn more about the experience of using this drive below.

It is Samsung Galaxy S26 launch day with pre-orders set to go live any minute and the new Arc Pulse Galaxy S26 Ultra bumper case is now live. The brand makes some of, if not, the nicest bumper-style cases out there no matter which phone you use, but its latest metal Galaxy S26 Arc Pulse models are now available on the official site for pre-order. 

The official launch and debut of the next-generation Samsung Galaxy S26 lineup is now set for next week, and we are already starting to see accessories hit the market. You can indeed secure some early pre-order deals for the new phones right here, but today we are taking a lot at the new Samsung Galaxy S26 case lineup from Dbrand. 

SANDMARC – one of our absolute favorite iPhoneography brands – is back again today with all-new lens for iPhone users. Looking to take your zoom prowess up a notch (or 24), the new SANDMARC Tetraprism 72mm Lens for iPhone has arrived with “up to 24x zoom on iPhone 17 Pro models while maintaining true image quality.” Best of all, you can use code 9TO510 at checkout to score an exclusive pre-order deal you won’t get anywhere else. 

Nomad debuted its next-generation ChargeKey tool around this time last year, and today it is unleashing a new model in a Stellar Orange colorway to match your Cosmic iPhone 17 Pro. 

Update: The new Belkin UltraCharge Pro 2-in-1 Convertible Magnetic Charger is now available on Amazon in both the black and cream colorways. 

Belkin updated its lineup of wireless magnetic charging stands last summer headlined by the 3-in-1 Belkin UltraCharge Pro 25W. We came away mostly quite impressed with that model after review, but we have just spotted the new Qi2 25W 2-in-1 variant with a foldable design and the brand’s ChillBoost active cooling technology up for sale at Amazon.  

Today Twelve South is stepping in to the portable charging game again with its new PowerCapsule. The new MagSafe-ready power bank lands with a special Twelve South design touch featuring a sort of cactus-based leather inlay and will be available for purchase today in 5,000mAh or 10,000mAh capacities. 

As you might have seen in our launch coverage, Anker has now unleashed its new Prime Wireless Charging Station. This time featuring the 25W Qi2 MagSafe action in a 3-in-1 setup for your entire Apple kit, it can fold down into a palm-sized unit that might be my new go-to travel charger. Scope out some hands-on impressions below.

First spotted during at CES, today Anker is releasing its brand new foldable Prime 3-in-1 Wireless Charging Station. The weighted palm-sized charger unfolds to deliver a 3-in-1 charging solution with Qi2.2 25W MagSafe, a pop-out Apple Watch charger, and a nice launch deal – clip the on-page coupon via the brand’s official Amazon store. 

We have featured a number of those super handy tracking wallet cards around here – I am a big fan if these things and carry one with me at all times. Today, however, KeySmart is launching its new ultra-slim dual-network tracker card known as the SmartCard (Gen 3) – it works with either Apple Find My or Google Find Hub. 

Today’s smart glasses generally fall into two camps: ones that put a big, wearable display in front of your eyes purely for entertainment, gaming, and media like Viture’s Lumar Ultra, and there are others like the RayNeo X3 Pro we’re checking out today – that aim to deliver practical, everyday AR experiences. I’m already a heavy user of the first kind for daily entertainment, but I’ve yet to see anything truly compelling in the “real” AR space for day-to-day use. I’ve been using the RayNeo X3 Pro as my primary pair of glasses for the past few weeks, and they offer a glimpse into where AR is in 2026 – full of potential, but still weighed down by deal-breaking compromises. Head below for a closer look and my full experience.

Bluetti’s official Amazon storefront is offering personal device support in the form of its recently released Elite 10 Mini Portable Power Station at $113 shipped, beating out its current direct-website pricing by $6. This highly-compact model only hit the market in November with a $199 price tag, which has mostly been dropped to $139 or $119 with discounts, though there was a recent prime-exclusive period at this rate before it opened to everyone, as well as the one-time 48-hour $109 flash sale low from mid-December. Jumping on this deal today gives you $86 savings to the best Amazon price we have tracked, landing only $4 above the all-time low. You can also find several more of the brand’s power stations at discounted rates in the official Amazon storefront here.

Nulaxy Metal MagSafe Stand

Buy for $10 (Reg. $12)

What we love

While a lot of MagSafe stands take the easy way out with plastic, this model goes all in on aluminum for a more premium look and feel. Despite this fact, it still remains affordable, especially when factoring in today’s discount.

SANDMARC – one of our favorite iPhoneography and content creator brands – is debuting its all new Active Mount System for iPhone creators. This robust and versatile magnetic solution is designed to help creators dial in the right shot and “unlock perspectives that traditional supports simply cannot reach.” We have also secured an exclusive pre-order/launch discount for readers using code 9TO510 at checkout.

ExtreLife has a number of small Apple Find My-equipped accessories available on Amazon, but we just spotted a new one in the form of this sort of wrist lanyard-style keychain.

There are a massive number of travel adapters and charging solutions out there, but Tessan is regularly found on best of lists and generally comes in at affordable prices too.

Power banks can, often times, feel a bit dime a dozen these days, and while that largely remains true despite some of the more flashy models from brands like Anker as of late, the new SolidSafe Air did catch our eye. Now on display at on the show floor at CES 2026, the company behind this new mobile power solutions claims it is the “world’s slimmest semi solid-state power bank.”

Anker is kicking off 2026 with a brand-new charger that builds upon its existing 45W model with some notable new features. The new 2026 45W Nano charger sports a built-in “Smart Display” which, according to the brand, “recognizes your iPhone and adjusts charging for better battery longevity.” You can get it in Aurora White, Black Stone, Misty Blue, and Orange finishes, and they’re all available now with a nice $10 launch deal down at $29.99 shipped. Head below for a closer look and more details.

For years CES has had autonomous robot helpers on display, and 2026 is no different – check out the LG CLOiD bot. But we don’t often see devices that can transform your iPhone into a mini desktop AI bot like the Loona DeskMate claims to. 

Alongside its new 45W Smart Display-equipped Nano USB-C charger, Anker has unleashed a handful of other gear as part of its CES 2026 announcements.
