Phone accessories

The most well-considered phone grip he has seen, with a kickstand, slide-up grip and magnet.

A good durable 40W cable with a 90-degree head, mainly useful for gamers.

A magnetic cable with swappable tips that is limited to 2.4 amps but makes a great backup cable.

A very heavy but beautifully built charger that powers four devices at once.

A convenient case with five built-in lenses, but not as good as a dedicated lens.

His current favourite power bank: pricey and plain, but big capacity and powerful enough to charge laptops.

A foldable three-coil wireless charger for iPhone, Apple Watch and AirPods that also works as a stand.

A pro-tool phone flash about four times brighter than the built-in one.

Lenses that let you use the phone's better main camera for wide, fisheye and macro shots, and he came away impressed.

Tiny GaN bricks charge much faster than Apple's 5W brick, and he expects phones to ship with them.

A graphene power bank that fills in 18 minutes, which he expects to reach phones.

A grippy, drop-resistant case with a card compartment, for those who don't mind thickness.

A clever idea that only winds the cables about half the time.

A standalone translator that suits those who don't want to depend on a phone, but some languages sound robotic.

A photo frame with built-in Qi charging that works reliably and looks clean, though the phone covers the photo.

One of the best brushes for cleaning phones and other tech safely.

A Swiss Army knife style magnetic mount that lets the phone stick to metal and be propped up with a coil.

Turns a phone into a working microscope, even in beta form.

By far the best phone telescope mount he has tried, giving 120 times magnification with a secure fit.

Tiny grip strips that give a slippery glass phone surprisingly strong hold.

One of his favourites: a strongly magnetic wall-mounted charging bar, though not cheap.

Simple AA and AAA cells that recharge from a phone, which he finds cool.

Works like a personal cameraman, with good face and body tracking and several fun capture modes.

Official silicone case with a ridged interior, good port access and feel; he prefers its feel to the wallet case.
