Phone accessories

Uses micro USB, has an off-centre port and charges painfully slowly, which he called the worst wireless charger he has used.

Fast, foldable 25W wireless chargers that work with magnetic and non-magnetic phones.

Beautiful with a charming dial, but slow and low capacity, so he would not carry it even at the same price.

Distinctive looking, but uncomfortable to hold and it fared worse than a $10 case in drop tests.

A well-made, impressive bespoke controller case for the rear screen that he would never actually use.

The silicone case was more durable than the clear case, but still picked up damage under the knife.

The TechWoven case hid marks well and took the least damage of the cases tested, though a knife still cuts through it easily.

The clear case scratched badly and looked horrendous early in the test.

The older FineWoven case did very poorly in the test, with the knife going through it like paper.

A comfy case he rates 7 out of 10 and would pick if buying Apple-branded.

Works well and adjusts smoothly, but he doesn't see himself wearing his phone and gives it 5 out of 10.

Confusing design with a white back that isn't clear and doesn't match the phone colours; rated 4 out of 10.

Premium-feeling and protective while preserving the feel of the Air, but very expensive for the material.

The toughest case Apple has made, but it overcorrected from FineWoven and feels like an itchy sweater.

Nicely made, but buying it for the Air is a contradiction and makes the phone thicker than a 17 Pro Max.

Looks decent but bent permanently out of shape when he took it off, so he gives it a three.

Woven finish feels more durable and it has far more reviews than the Amazon version.

Feels cheap and plasticky next to the Anker, though not a bad product.

Responsive, but he thinks it is a pointless extra gadget to charge and pair when you can just scroll.

Instant screen mirroring that lets him use his phone's rear cameras for selfies, and he calls it needed.

A bendable phone stand for plane seats that works so well he calls it a must have.

Sturdy, strong phone mount, though he was unsure about its sticky pad on leather.

The $150 military-used case protected the screen better in the first test, but the phone still showed a big mark and a ballooning screen af…

Triangular 24,000 mAh power bank with a nicely integrated display, let down by a frosted battery area.
