Although it is a bit pricey, it has a lifetime warranty to keep up with your daily use and a risk-free 99-day trial period. All things considered, a quality, traditional leather-style wallet could easily run you over the $100 mark, too, which makes this long-term investment worth it, in my opinion.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI gifted this wallet to my Dad a year before using one myself, and I can confidently say it's a winner. Prior to gifting him the Ridge, he used several other wallets, including a traditional leather and titanium case style, but none of them fit his needs.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMy Dad is a shove-everything-into-your-pockets-and-go kind of person, and no wallet could ever keep all his cards, cash, and receipts organized until the Ridge. The minimalist design helps ensure he can put what he really needs into his wallet and makes it easy to access cards and cash when he wants.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI initially thought the maneuvering to slide the cards in and out would be annoying, but after a little practice, he said it became second nature and is surprisingly easier than opening and removing cards or cash from a traditional wallet. I agree that there's a brief learning curve involved, but once you get it down, it's a non-issue.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe practicality, coupled with the RFID technology, numerous color and metal options, and the addable AirTag tracker, makes the Ridge nearly faultless. Although it can get a little chunky when it's full to the brim with cards (but alas, what wallet doesn't?). This is a great wallet for small handbags, concert or stadium bags, and going out on the town, too.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECurrent Ridge customers said on the website that they liked the wallet capacity, durability, design, and functionality of the Ridge wallet.

It's perfect for holding my debit card, work badge, and other incidentals like paper train tickets. The phone stand was nice, too. Although it's one of the pricier options for a MagSafe wallet, I think it's well worth the investment due to its multi-functionality and excellent quality, especially if you use your MagSafe wallet

luxury tech products, don't look any further than Bosca's AirTag wallet for all your card storage needs. Plus, if you're looking for a minimalist option, this could be a great fit for your needs. Part of my job at ZDNET includes testing tons of tech accessories, from MagSafe gear to AirTag accessories and beyond, so needless to say, I have tested a lot of different things, including MagSafe and AirTag wallets. This is the first AirTag wallet I've tested in a while that I was really impressed with, and it took me by surprise.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere's nothing overly unique about the design of this Bosca wallet. In fact, if you went on Amazon, you'd see tons of similar options at varying price points offering similar features: slim design, a few card slots, maybe an ID window, and, of course, that trusty little spot to tuck your AirTag. The hybrid card slot\u002Fwallet combo has become a popular option in 2024, as many people shift to cardless payment options like Apple Pay and Google Pay more and more and carry fewer cards daily.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBut what makes Bosca's stand-out is the craftsmanship and leather used to construct it. I knew right away upon opening up this wallet that it was, what the kids call, legit. The leather is smooth, and the Saddle color has a really striking tone that is not too orange and not too brown. Moreso, it looks like something that didn't fall out of Amazon's massive factory market, and that's thanks to the full grain, Italian, hand-stained leather and intentional construction. It holds cards great, has a dedicated ID slot with a slit to make grabbing your identification easy, and two pockets to hold extra cash, cards, or other incidentals. It's super easy to snap your AirTag in and be on your way, and most importantly, it's the kind of tech accessory that feels like it will withstand the test of time, and will perhaps get better with age. I compared the leather of this wallet to some of my own personal handbags and small goods from various other brands, and there's certainly a similar standard that I was impressed with.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt is certainly pricier than other options on this list (though not as expensive as a Ridge wallet) and I do wish there were perhaps more colored options, but for what is offered I feel that this wallet is a confident balance of affordable luxury that justifies its price tag, and potentially prevents the type of incessant rebuying that can often occur with tech accessories.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cem\u003EAuthor's note: This product is currently unavailable on Amazon at the time of publication on

With enough space to hold five cards (the most on this list), it indeed resembles a classic wallet and not just a cardholder. The Ezmo wallet also doubles as a phone stand, so you can watch your favorite entertainment on the go or keep your phone screen visible at your desk. The stand has adjustable viewing angles in both portrait and landscape modes.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt's made of vegan leather and comes in four traditional color options (black, dark brown, navy blue, and dove gray).

When evaluating MagSafe wallets, I always look for easy and seamless access to my NJ Transit card, which I need to grab and put away quickly. Thanks to the notch on the front of the Ezmo wallet, I can store my transit card in the front. It's easy to slide out, so I highly recommend choosing one with a front-notch option if you're looking for a commuter-friendly wallet.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI also like how the Ezmo MagSafe wallet provides enough space for five cards and even folded cash. It's perfect for holding my debit card, work badge, and other incidentals like paper train tickets. I don't often keep my driver's license or credit card in my phone wallet while going to work, but I like that I can do so if I need or want to for another event or activity. &amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe phone stand was nice, too. I enjoyed being able to prop my phone up while at the office. I even found myself using the back half of the wallet as a makeshift grip on the train, which added some extra stability. Although it's one of the priciest options on this list, I think it's well worth the investment due to its multi-functionality and excellent quality, especially if you use your MagSafe wallet daily.

Inspired by origami, the Moft wallet can hold up to three cards and quickly flips into a stand. It's ultra-thin, practically unseen, and unfelt while attached to your device.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Moft wallet also features uber-strong magnets designed to stack with the brand's other products, like its \u003Ca href=&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fbest-magsafe-battery\u002F&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;\u003EMagSafe battery pack\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.

However, I found it challenging to remove cards, especially when using public transit, and three cards (my ID, NJ Transit card, and debit card) felt a little too snug for my liking. But for someone on the go more often (or someone who needs less card capacity), this is a winner. It comes in seven punchy colors, truly elevates your phone's look, and ensures that you are never without a way to prop up your device. The Moft stand is a favorite at ZDNET, and editor Sabrina Ortiz regularly uses one on her phone.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI'd be remiss not to mention that while this isn't a preferred pick for commuting, I do reach for it often while at home or doing casual errands or activities. It's also been a great option for the pool and beach now that summer is here because of its less bulky construction, and it's such a multifunctional add-on for anyone that my mother usurped my original test unit (I've been told it's a great stand for reading recipes off your phone while cooking or baking).&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECustomers on the Moft website said they liked the strong magnets, premium look and feel, and card capacity of the Snap-on wallet.

If you're a one-card type or need something for select occasions, I highly recommend this cardholder.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"Casetify Snappy cardholder and stand\" data-imagegroup=\"{&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;casetify-magsafe-card-holder&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;credits&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;imageData&quot;:{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;16773c17-01e6-4c81-a694-9a30cf8af83c&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;casetify-magsafe-card-holder&quot;,&quot;filename&quot;:&quot;img-1086.jpg&quot;,&quot;path&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2024\u002F03\u002F12\u002F16773c17-01e6-4c81-a694-9a30cf8af83c\u002Fimg-1086.jpg&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:913166,&quot;width&quot;:6000,&quot;height&quot;:4000,&quot;dateCreated&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2024-03-12 14:22:52&quot;,&quot;timezone&quot;:&quot;UTC&quot;,&quot;timezone_type&quot;:3},&quot;dateUpdated&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2024-03-12 14:24:08&quot;,&quot;timezone&quot;:&quot;UTC&quot;,&quot;timezone_type&quot;:3},&quot;needsModeration&quot;:false,&quot;mimeType&quot;:&quot;image\u002Fjpeg&quot;,&quot;deleted&quot;:false,&quot;credits&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;casetify-magsafe-card-holder&quot;,&quot;restricted&quot;:false,&quot;startDate&quot;:null,&quot;endDate&quot;:null,&quot;preferred&quot;:false,&quot;watermark&quot;:false,&quot;doNotCrop&quot;:false,&quot;doNotResize&quot;:false,&quot;primaryCollection&quot;:null,&quot;vanityUrl&quot;:null,&quot;notes&quot;:null,&quot;crop&quot;:null,&quot;cropGravity&quot;:0,&quot;preservedRegion&quot;:null,&quot;isNew&quot;:false,&quot;keywords&quot;:[],&quot;primeColor&quot;:null,&quot;hasWarning&quot;:false,&quot;typeName&quot;:&quot;content_image&quot;},&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;16773c17-01e6-4c81-a694-9a30cf8af83c&quot;,&quot;imageAltText&quot;:&quot;casetify-magsafe-card-holder&quot;,&quot;imageCaption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;imageCredit&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;imageDoNotCrop&quot;:false,&quot;imageDoNotResize&quot;:false,&quot;imageWatermark&quot;:false,&quot;imageFilename&quot;:&quot;img-1086.jpg&quot;,&quot;imageDateCreated&quot;:&quot;2024\u002F03\u002F12&quot;,&quot;imageWidth&quot;:6000,&quot;imageHeight&quot;:4000,&quot;imageParallax&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageCrop&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageEnlarge&quot;:false}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET\" data-linktext=\"Best MagSafe cardholder\" data-linkurl=\"Design: Mini Listicle\" data-merchantoffers=\"[{&quot;useMonetization&quot;:true,&quot;monetizedUrl&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerMerchant&quot;:&quot;Casetify&quot;,&quot;offerPrice&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerPriceRange&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerPriceText&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerType&quot;:&quot;Single Product&quot;,&quot;monetizationStatus&quot;:&quot;on&quot;,&quot;rawUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.casetify.com\u002Fgadgets\u002Fsnappy-cardholder-stand?DG=Accessories&amp;D_Accessories=Snappy+Cardholder+Stand&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;&quot;}]\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"f41072db-2b79-437c-9599-441f38607177\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe Case Mate wallet is another classic MagSafe design.

There are other benefits, too, as Microsoft has turned off Cortana as a home IoT hub, it's helped me shift to HomeKit-based automation for lights and heating, with tools to set my devices up for voice control from a couple of HomePod Minis.

What does matter to me is that it works well with my Samsung Galaxy Watch 3. Samsung claimed early on that its watch would work well with other Android phones.

I spend more time than I would like to admit on my phone (about five hours a day, the screen manager tells me), although I find that my phone is often quicker than my laptop for many tasks, so I often default to my phone for using social media, online banking, and shopping as well as editing Google Docs.

It's likely my 2015-vintage iPhone won't run iOS 15 and, by extension, won't run some iOS 15 apps. So, it's likely that will be when I semi-retire the grand 6s Plus. But, as long as it still runs with my camera software, I'll probably still use the old fellow as a camera in the workshop, Fab Lab, or my office. If I have to upgrade, I'm going for the full monty, with all the features and screen size I can get.

If you want something that'll do double duty, one that charges or holds your money might be a better bet than one that doesn't. Also consider how durable you want the case to be. If you're someone who lives or works in an environment where your phone is often at risk of being damaged, a more protective case might be a better option. It's also important to take your budget into account — in more ways than one. You've examined your budget to purchase your phone but now you have to decide how much you want to spend on protecting it. There are a variety of budget-friendly phone cases, but not all of them will offer as much protection as a case that has a higher price tag.

You have to decide how much of an aesthetic sacrifice you're willing to make in the name of protecting your Apple Watch.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"Which screen protector is right for you?\" data-imagegroup=\"{}\" data-merchantoffers=\"[]\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"pinbox\" data-uuid=\"12922153-5c9c-495e-a36a-5dbbc9302a9f\" data-uri=\"\u002Fapi\u002Fcomponent\u002Feditorial\u002F12922153-5c9c-495e-a36a-5dbbc9302a9f\" data-float=\"none\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E",gallery:c,category:c,children:c,contentType:b,contentUrl:b,coreImages:c,date:c,datePublished:{created:c,date:"2022-05-02 15:00:00",timezone:"UTC",updated:c,published:c},description:"What is the best Apple Watch screen protector?

The Supernova variant sports a transparent back that showcases the bevy of gaming-centric features within the device, like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor, 16GB of RAM, Octa-core CPU, a massive 5,000mAh battery, and the RedMagic's key selling point: a 20,000 RPM Turbofan. That fan, along with a series of cooling elements within the phone keeps it from overheating and the battery from degrading as fast -- both of which are common issues with gaming phones. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe RedMagic 7 Pro fields a massive 6.8-inch, 120Hz AMOLED display to visualize all the animations and stylistic icons of its Android 12-based software. Turn on any game and Nubia's Game Space (and the Turbofan) kicks into high gear, providing you with an ample amount of in-game controls, toggles, and plugins. One of which lets you map the shoulder triggers of the phone, giving you an added dimension of inputs no matter what game you play. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMore: \u003Ca

Android phones make up a majority of the best gaming phones on the market. However, some Apple products hold their own, with the iPhone 13 Pro Max being the best iOS option for gamers.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEven though the 6GB of RAM seems laughable compared to the double digit specs of other options on this list, the iPhone is notorious for its class-leading efficiency and performance optimizations. To add, there are still plenty of iPhone perks for gamers. Most notably, this phone is built with Apple's industry-leading A15 Bionic chipset, beating out most flagships in synthetic benchmark tests. And, of course, graphics look incredible on the 6.7-inch OLED display, now with a 120Hz refresh rate to keep things smooth.&amp;nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWith a starting price of $1,099, you might be wondering: is the iPhone 13 Pro Max worth it for gamers? We think so -- as long as you're okay with giving up a few best-in-class gaming features in exchange for the other fantastic benefits included with Apple phones such as the spectacular front and rear camera features. If the Max is too big, there's also the regular iPhone 13 Pro, which has proven to be just as capable for mobile gaming. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMore: \u003Ca

Launched in February of this year, it caught the eyes of artists, designers, and S-Pen lovers, because -- frankly, it's a big tablet. With a 14.6-inch, 120Hz, Super AMOLED panel, the Tab S8 Ultra is arguably the largest tablet on the market (not counting 2-in-1s).\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBesides providing an immersive entertainment experience, the 14.6-inch panel makes for an unbounded canvas, or at least it feels like it. Samsung's S Pen, which comes included with the tablet, now carries a 2.8ms latency. That means your inputs and strokes appear on the screen the moment the stylus touches it. The Tab S8 Ultra also carries some nifty S Pen tricks that play hand-in-hand with the software experience. Air Commands, for example, allows you to capture and edit screenshots by pressing the S Pen's hardware button. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EReview:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003Ca href=&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fsamsung-galaxy-tab-s8-series-gets-a-new-14-6-inch-ultra-flagship\u002F&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EZDNET goes hands-on with the Tab S8 Ultra\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOn the spec front, the Tab S8 Ultra is as beefed up as any \u003Ca href=&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fbest-android-tablet\u002F&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;\u003Eflagship Android tablet\u003C\u002Fa\u003E can get.

I had no issues with tarnishing or chipping after my few weeks of wear, although I was careful around water, did not wear the band while applying lotion, makeup, or perfume, and used a jewelry cloth to wipe it down every few wears or so.

I have also seen some chipping on the stainless steel pin's coating, and like with the sport band, I wish there were more color options. Since the slim band is my preferred style, it's a bit of a disappointment that there are only four color options, especially when the larger sport band has quite a bit more and limited edition offerings. I'd love to see more punchy colors and some soft pastels in the slim band -- it's a great option for often smaller women's wrists.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERegardless of my feelings about the color selection, I enjoyed testing the slim band, and since then, I've been frequently wearing it in my daily activities.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ENomad Slim Sport Band features:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003Cstrong\u003EMaterial: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003EFluoroelastomer rubber | \u003Cstrong\u003EWaterproof:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E Yes | \u003Cstrong\u003ECompatibility:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E Apple Watch Ultra, Series 9, 8, 7, 6, SE, and all previous versions of Apple Watch \u003Cstrong\u003EBand sizes:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E 45mm\u002F49mm or 40mm\u002F41mm\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"Nomad Slim Sport Band\" data-superlative=\"Best slim everyday Apple Watch band\" data-imagegroup=\"{&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;nomad-sport-slim-band&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;credits&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;imageData&quot;:{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;e828fcaf-39b9-4483-be91-d62cc1167879&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;nomad-sport-slim-band&quot;,&quot;filename&quot;:&quot;img-1638.jpg&quot;,&quot;path&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2024\u002F05\u002F10\u002Fe828fcaf-39b9-4483-be91-d62cc1167879\u002Fimg-1638.jpg&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:973084,&quot;width&quot;:6000,&quot;height&quot;:4000,&quot;dateCreated&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2024-05-10 16:33:02&quot;,&quot;timezone&quot;:&quot;UTC&quot;,&quot;timezone_type&quot;:3},&quot;dateUpdated&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2024-05-10 16:33:44&quot;,&quot;timezone&quot;:&quot;UTC&quot;,&quot;timezone_type&quot;:3},&quot;needsModeration&quot;:false,&quot;mimeType&quot;:&quot;image\u002Fjpeg&quot;,&quot;deleted&quot;:false,&quot;credits&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;nomad-sport-slim-band&quot;,&quot;restricted&quot;:false,&quot;startDate&quot;:null,&quot;endDate&quot;:null,&quot;preferred&quot;:false,&quot;watermark&quot;:false,&quot;doNotCrop&quot;:false,&quot;doNotResize&quot;:false,&quot;primaryCollection&quot;:null,&quot;vanityUrl&quot;:null,&quot;notes&quot;:null,&quot;crop&quot;:null,&quot;cropGravity&quot;:0,&quot;preservedRegion&quot;:null,&quot;isNew&quot;:false,&quot;keywords&quot;:[],&quot;primeColor&quot;:null,&quot;hasWarning&quot;:false,&quot;typeName&quot;:&quot;content_image&quot;},&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;e828fcaf-39b9-4483-be91-d62cc1167879&quot;,&quot;imageAltText&quot;:&quot;nomad-sport-slim-band&quot;,&quot;imageCaption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;imageCredit&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;imageDoNotCrop&quot;:false,&quot;imageDoNotResize&quot;:false,&quot;imageWatermark&quot;:false,&quot;imageFilename&quot;:&quot;img-1638.jpg&quot;,&quot;imageDateCreated&quot;:&quot;2024\u002F05\u002F10&quot;,&quot;imageWidth&quot;:6000,&quot;imageHeight&quot;:4000,&quot;imageParallax&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageCrop&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageEnlarge&quot;:false}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET\" data-merchantoffers=\"[{&quot;useMonetization&quot;:true,&quot;monetizedUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.anrdoezrs.net\u002Flinks\u002F9041660\u002Ftype\u002Fdlg\u002Fsid\u002Fsubid_value\u002Fhttps:\u002F\u002Fnomadgoods.com\u002Fproducts\u002Fsport-slim-band-white-41mm&quot;,&quot;offerMerchant&quot;:&quot;Nomad Goods&quot;,&quot;offerPrice&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerPriceRange&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerPriceText&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerType&quot;:&quot;Single Product&quot;,&quot;monetizationStatus&quot;:&quot;on&quot;,&quot;rawUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fnomadgoods.com\u002Fproducts\u002Fsport-slim-band-white-41mm&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.anrdoezrs.net\u002Flinks\u002F9041660\u002Ftype\u002Fdlg\u002Fsid\u002Fsubid_value\u002Fhttps:\u002F\u002Fnomadgoods.com\u002Fproducts\u002Fsport-slim-band-white-41mm&quot;}]\" data-usepricing=\"true\" data-like=\"~ Durable ~ High quality ~ Interior ventilation ~ Slim profile ~ Good for small wrists\" data-dislike=\"~ Limited color options ~ Slight wear on stainless steel pin ~ A little pricey\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"4a1b8c49-7e00-4151-9cc3-077e433427d1\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003ESpigen's Liquid Proband is both an Apple watch strap and a case in one.

Often, Apple Watch bands from third-party brands are sized according to the display size of your watch, such as 40mm, 45mm, 49mm, etc, but they are not necessarily your watch model. Some bands may also have wrist-size options, such as Apple's flagship sport bands, which are S\u002FM and M\u002FL, but other options don't specify wrist sizes (they ensure adjustability for a great fit).

The stems that come out of each earbud are shorter, and the earbuds themselves have a slightly new shape. The AirPods lack any sort of replaceable ear tip, with Apple keeping the one-size-fits-all approach it's taken with standard AirPods since their launch.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOn each earbud is a new sensor that detects when it's in contact with your skin, enabling features like auto-connect and auto-pause or play when you put them in or take them out of your ears.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe stems each have a force sensor embedded. Squeezing either one will do things like pause or play music, answer a call, or trigger Siri, Apple's personal voice assistant.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe charging case also looks more like the AirPods Pro case -- only smaller. There's a single indicator light on the front of the case to let you know when it's charging or in pairing mode. On the back of the case is a button that you'll use to reset the AirPods or pair them to a non-Apple device.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"pinbox\" data-uuid=\"9a457d38-4e73-4acb-b4ad-abe7b43585fe\" data-uri=\"\u002Fapi\u002Fcomponent\u002Feditorial\u002F9a457d38-4e73-4acb-b4ad-abe7b43585fe\" data-float=\"right\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECharging the case, and thus the AirPods, can now be done three different ways. You can use the built-in Lightning port on the bottom of the case, a Qi wireless charging pad, or Apple's MagSafe charging tech. It's the same magnetic charging tech that's used in the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, where Apple uses magnets to line up the pad with the device and hold it in place while it wirelessly charges.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnother notable addition to the new AirPods is that both the case and the earbuds themselves are IPX4 rated for water and sweat resistance. That doesn't mean they're waterproof, but you shouldn't worry if they get a little damp during a workout.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe biggest question most people have about the AirPods is whether or not they'll fit in their ears. The second question is whether or not they'll stay in their ears.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor me, the AirPods fit and stayed in without any issues. I'm not a runner, but walking around the block at a decent pace didn't cause any issues with their fit. Admittedly, everyone's ears are different, and this may not be the case for you.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMy advice is to give these a try, even if the original AirPods gave you issues.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EMore than improved sound quality and battery life\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"086f25fb-d4c2-4379-a2f5-6f12d18de00c\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EAirPods on a MagSafe charging stand.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Jason Cipriani\u002FZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"airpods-third-gen-5.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"airpods-third-gen-5.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2021\u002F11\u002F09\" data-image-width=\"3599\" data-image-height=\"2615\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhenever any company, let alone Apple, releases a new product, the core features almost certainly are improved. For example, the new AirPods promise and deliver on sound quality and longer battery life. For me, there's a more rounded sound to the 3rd generation AirPods compared to the 2nd generation AirPods; the newest ones appear to have the sound quality of the AirPods Pro. And battery life has gone up, with the new AirPods giving you six hours of listening time, up from five hours on the previous model.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fbest-wireless-charger\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe best wireless chargers\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf you include the charging case in battery life estimates, the 3rd generation AirPods should net you about 30 hours of listening time, up from 24 hours.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThere's a catch to those battery life claims, though. That 30-hour max is if you use the AirPods with Spatial Audio turned off. Spatial Audio is new to the entry-level AirPods, and it's a welcomed addition. Previously, Spatial Audio was something only the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max offered.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen turned on while you're either watching a compatible video or streaming compatible audio through the Apple Music app, Spatial Audio creates a 3D audio experience that follows your head as you move it. For example, while listening to Post Malone's song \"Circles,\" you can turn your head to the right or left, and the audio in your ears changes as you move. It leaves you with the impression that you're listening to live music directly in front of you.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"1ad0b3e6-0e97-4736-a066-d3dc4b7ac376\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Jason Cipriani\u002FZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"airpods-third-gen-1.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"airpods-third-gen-1.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2021\u002F11\u002F09\" data-image-width=\"4032\" data-image-height=\"3024\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOutside of the impact on battery life, the only downside to Spatial Audio is that not all music or videos in the various streaming apps are compatible. So one minute you can be listening to a track that fully supports Spatial Audio, only for the next track to lack support. It's an odd experience going back and forth, but it's not a dealbreaker by any means.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe new AirPods use the same H1 chip that Apple has used in previous AirPods, which enables features like quick pairing, easy device switching, extended range, and longer battery life.

That means the 3rd generation AirPods also lack a transparency mode to let in some environmental sounds. For those who don't consistently need or use ANC, it's likely to be a non-issue. But during the last few weeks, I've found myself wishing they had ANC. Whether it's blocking the background noise of my kids arguing over who gets the last piece of candy, or the \u003Cem\u003Eclickety-clack\u003C\u002Fem\u003E of my mechanical keyboard that randomly gets on my nerves, ANC has become a feature I don't want to go without.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EBottom line\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"1e1f892b-0b94-40d5-9697-831c1e43ecf5\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Jason Cipriani\u002FZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"airpods-third-gen-3.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"airpods-third-gen-3.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2021\u002F11\u002F09\" data-image-width=\"4032\" data-image-height=\"3024\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe 3rd generation $179 AirPods are going to be a hit.

MagSafe isn't a groundbreaking addition, but it's something I think most iPhone owners will find themselves using as they add MagSafe chargers to their home or office.

That said, I haven't had issues with fit or comfort.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPersonally, I've missed active-noise cancelation that the AirPods Pro and AirPods Max offer.

That price includes either a VESA mount adapter or a basic stand that allows you to adjust the tilt of the screen, but not the height. If you want to adjust the height of the screen – and many people do -- then you either balance it on a pile of books, or pay an additional $400 for Apple's tilt- and height-adjustable stand.

To be fair, the webcam in the Studio Display was noticeably brighter and sharper than the 720p webcam in my ageing MacBook Air, but there was a noticeable graininess that seemed to be overlaid on the image, which clearly needs to be addressed. It's strange that a company with Apple's love for eye-candy could overlook such a visible problem.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EUsing the webcam for video calls also emphasised the fact that the standard Studio Display doesn't allow you to adjust the height of the display (or swivel it either, for that matter), which proved irksome while trying to adjust viewing angles.

When Apple was using Intel chips, it was a piece of cake for developers to port their software to MacOS due to the similar CPU. However, now that Apple relies on its own ARM-based chips, the porting process is far more difficult. Even companies like Adobe, maker of vital tools like Photoshop and Premiere, took months before all of their major titles fully supported Apple's chips. Smaller devs and less resourceful software makers might still lack support for quite some time. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"commercepromo\" data-id=\"c9fa1dab-a101-41e4-a75b-b840dbbebacb\" data-edition=\"us\" data-hed=\"Buy Samsung's Galaxy Book 3 Ultra\" data-imagegroup=\"{&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;credits&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageData&quot;:{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;628d4727-e998-4305-a78c-3819b1b0a4f6&quot;,&quot;filename&quot;:&quot;samsung-galaxy-book3-ultra2.jpg&quot;,&quot;path&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2023\u002F01\u002F31\u002F628d4727-e998-4305-a78c-3819b1b0a4f6\u002Fsamsung-galaxy-book3-ultra2.jpg&quot;,&quot;dateCreated&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2023-01-31 19:30:12&quot;,&quot;timezone&quot;:&quot;UTC&quot;,&quot;timezone_type&quot;:3},&quot;primeColor&quot;:null,&quot;hasWarning&quot;:false},&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;628d4727-e998-4305-a78c-3819b1b0a4f6&quot;,&quot;imageFilename&quot;:&quot;samsung-galaxy-book3-ultra2.jpg&quot;,&quot;imageDateCreated&quot;:&quot;2023\u002F01\u002F31&quot;}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-offerurl=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.samsung.com\u002Fus\u002Fcomputing\u002Fgalaxy-book3-ultra\u002Fbuy\u002F\" data-offerprice=\"2199\" data-offermerchant=\"Samsung\" data-monetizedurl=\"https:\u002F\u002Fshop-links.co\u002Flink\u002F?url=https:\u002F\u002Fwww.samsung.com\u002Fus\u002Fsmartphones\u002Fthe-next-galaxy\u002Freserve\u002F&amp;publisher_slug=zdnet&amp;article_name=__ARTICLE_NAME__&amp;article_url=__ARTICLE_URL__&amp;exclusive=1&amp;u1=subid_value\" data-usemonetization=\"true\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E You should buy Apple's 16-inch M2-gen MacBook Pro if... \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"1643267f-f95d-4694-963a-486c2fc2f283\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe most recent, M2 Pro or Max-powered refresh of the venerable 16-inch MacBook Pro.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Apple\" data-image-alt-text=\"two Apple's 16 inch MacBook Pro laptops back to back, open at an angle\" data-image-filename=\"macbook-pro-16-inch-m2.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2023\u002F01\u002F31\" data-image-width=\"1600\" data-image-height=\"900\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E 1.

The dominance of the M1 Ultra is due in large part to the fact that the SoC is essentially two M1 Max chips operating in parallel.

I don't understand the reasoning for starting the iPad Air at 64GB of storage. Maybe Apple has usage stats that show 64GB is more than enough for this price range to justify it. Or maybe the sales pitch is that if you need more base storage, then the iPad Pro is where to look. Either way, 64GB of storage feels like it's just not enough space, especially if you have an Apple One subscription that provides access to the Apple Arcade, Apple TV+ and Apple Music catalogs.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELike I did with the new iPhone SE, I ran the Geekbench 5 benchmark app on the new iPad Air to compare its performance to the 2021 iPad Pro. Mind you, benchmarks aren't the only way to gauge a device's performance, but they provide a baseline of what you can expect on a device. Geekbench 5 on the iPad Air resulted in a single-core score of 1,701 and a multi-core score of 7,137. I ran the same test on my personal 12.9-inch iPad Pro with the same M1 processor with 16GB of memory, compared to the iPad Air's 8GB, and the scores were much closer than I anticipated. The iPad Pro scored 1,708 for single-core and 7,297 in the multi-core test.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn other words, the $599 iPad Air is just as powerful as my $1,999 iPad Pro. I'm starting to feel a touch of buyer's remorse.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo see how it compared to the competition, I ran the same Geekbench 5 tests on the \u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"3fc1092b-d117-4156-afb9-cf49cb5ee2e8\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.samsung.com\u002Fus\u002Ftablets\u002Fgalaxy-tab-s8\u002Fbuy\u002F\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"$899 Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E, which uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor. The Tab S8 Plus scored 1,219 for single-core and 3,219 for multi-core performance.

However, the limiting factor for what a person can or can't do on the tablet turned hybrid-laptop is iPadOS itself. It's the same story that's been written countless times over the years, but it's getting shorter. Apple has made great strides in building out the tools that iPad power and casual users have been asking for since the transition to iPadOS. But as the company continues to increase the performance of the iPad to be equal to the Mac lineup, the expectations -- right or wrong -- increase as well.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThat said, the iPad Air, with iPadOS 15.4, is fully capable of replacing a laptop for a lot of people.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs far as battery life is concerned, the iPad Air's battery lasts just as long as my iPad Pro.

But, in the event that you often find yourself in situations where a power supply isn't readily available and you work very long days, the M1 should be your choice. This is, of course, by Apple's numbers.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E 2.

You're working outside or in other very bright environments\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne of the biggest differences between the M1 and the M3 is the overall brightness.

But in a sunny outdoor environment or a very bright indoor setting, this is going to be a noticeable difference.

You want fun and experimental camera features \u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Google Pixel has always been known for its exceptional computational photography, and the 6 Pro's camera is \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fgoogle-pixel-6-pro-review\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Enothing less\u003C\u002Fa\u003E. Upgrading from the now discontinued Google Pixel 5, the Pixel 6 Pro incorporates three new camera lenses and allows for up to 4X optical zoom. Housing the improved sensors is a unique visor look that now defines the Pixel phone lineup. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne standout camera feature on the Pixel 6 Pro is&nbsp;\u003Cstrong\u003EMotion Mode,\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E&nbsp;which\u003Cstrong\u003E&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003Eallows users to capture a clear photo of a moving object, something you'd typically need a tripod for. Motion Mode includes an Action Pan option to dial up the shutter speed and capture fast-moving subjects like cars and subways. There's also a Long Exposure option that, like Action Pan, adds a creative blur to the background for a \"Pro\" look and feel. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnother new and useful feature is \u003Cstrong\u003EMagic Eraser.\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E Like Photoshop's Content Aware Fill, the software trick allows you to magically erase unwanted objects from a photo. Using the feature is as simple as circling what you'd like to erase from your image, whether that's strangers in the background, stain marks, or signage, and the Pixel 6 Pro does the rest. When done correctly, the image will look like it was perfectly captured in the first place. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E 2. You want a bigger battery &nbsp; \u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhile Apple's iPhones have made significant improvements to battery life since the early days, the Google Pixel 6 Pro wins the endurance battle. With 5,003 mAh (versus the iPhone's suggested 3,095 mAh), the Pixel 6 Pro can withstand a day's use with more ease than Apple's Pro phone. Google says the Pixel 6 Pro can support up to 9 hours of YouTube playback with just a single charge, which is close to our in-house experiences. It also helps that the Pixel supports USB-C fast charging, a more standardized method of charging than Apple's proprietary Lightning port. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fgoogle-pixel-6-pro-review\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EOne year later, Google Pixel 6 Pro is still Google's best smartphone\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"36b29d68-8dee-4789-9d95-912628ce9394\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"CNET\" data-image-alt-text=\"Google Pixel Pro 6\" data-image-filename=\"google-pixel-pro-6.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F06\u002F15\" data-image-width=\"1296\" data-image-height=\"729\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E 3.

Featuring a camera bar that stretches across the back, the Pixel camera doesn't take up half of your phone like that of the iPhone 13 Pro. The bar slightly protrudes from the back glass -- about 3mm from the surface -- which keeps the whole device wobble-free when laid flat. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWith a Gorilla Glass Victus rear and a curved aluminum-edged frame, the Pixel 6 Pro is sleek and durably built. There's also no notch to distract you from viewing content and, instead of FaceID, the Pixel has an in-screen fingerprint scanner that has proven to function accurately.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELastly, the Pixel 6 Pro runs on the latest Android 12 software, with Android 13 on the horizon.

Unsurprisingly, the new watch is only compatible with Android devices and not iPhones. The Pixel Watch features Wear OS, Google's proprietary smartwatch software that allows users to access a bounty of Android apps and functions -- like Google Maps. Wear OS also integrates the familiar \"Hey, Google\" command to complete hands-free tasks, send text messages, and even control other Google devices in your home.

Many people swear by the voice assistant and use it daily to do things like check the weather, start a timer (or two), play some music, or start a workout. But if you're like me (and, presumably, many others), you don't touch Siri at all on your Apple Watch, and it's just sitting there wasting your battery, constantly listening to hear that magical phrase \"Hey, Siri.\" In other words, you should turn it off.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow to:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E On your Apple Watch, head to Settings &gt; Siri and under \"Ask Siri,\" choose \"Listen For.\" From that list, tap the \"Off\" button.

Full disclosure: it's not going to work for everyone, but if you've exhausted every option on your Apple Watch to extend battery life, the battery is still healthy, and you don't want to upgrade, your best bet is to reset it and start from scratch. That way, you can set up your watch and, along the way, spot the app or service that drains your battery the most. It may also help clean up some of the system bloat in watchOS 10 that's led to poor efficiency on your watch.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow to: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003EGo to Settings &gt; General &gt; Reset on your Apple Watch, then choose \"Erase All Content and Settings.\" You won't have to disable Find My or get rid of your cellular plan since you'll be setting it up with your iPhone again, but if you want to get rid of absolutely everything, make sure you disable Find My and dump your cellular plan during the process.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EHow we test smartwatches\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAll of the smartwatches included in our reporting were chosen based on how they performed when tested in the real world by the ZDNET team.

My browser was often overwhelmed with browser tabs, sometimes to the point of crashing. If I switched computers, I had to try to figure out what tabs I had open, and otherwise somehow coordinate 10-50 open tabs. It was a mess. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENow, I just save everything into Pocket, for later review. I actually do this in two phases. I use \u003Cem\u003EZDNet\u003C\u002Fem\u003E, \u003Cem\u003EDrudge\u003C\u002Fem\u003E, and \u003Cem\u003ETechmeme\u003C\u002Fem\u003E as a quick way to find out what the big news of the day is.

Or, I might dig into a story that's interesting and trending, and look for more content, which I'll also save into Pocket. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe nice part about this is I can easily do this while drinking coffee. I can get a feel for the day from the headlines, but I don't need to have all my brain cells online quite so early. Then I go and make my oatmeal. I now eat oatmeal for breakfast every day. Why didn't I do this when I was younger. It's \u003Cem\u003Eso\u003C\u002Fem\u003E good for you.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBy this point, I'm somewhere between 30 and 60 minutes into my day, I've had one or two cups of coffee, and I have a pretty solid feel for both what's going on in my own various domains as well as what's going on in the rest of the world. It's a very good, very quick way to come up to speed while waking up.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDepending on the importance and urgency of the messages in my Gmail inbox, I'll either go straight into my morning email cycle or begin my morning reading. I prefer to do morning reading before email, so I'll discuss that next. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EThe Pocket-read-post-archive cycle\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI read. A lot. I need to keep up to date on a tremendous amount of information, both breaking news related and deep technical or academic information. As a result, a good percentage of my morning is spent reading. I also watch a lot of YouTube videos. I'm almost always learning about new stuff, and many YouTube videos provide great introductions to both how those things work and what they do. Without YouTube, I never would have \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fhands-on-building-the-next-generation-x-carve-cnc-build-log\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Egotten my CNC up and running\u003C\u002Fa\u003E and done \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fmy-first-big-cnc-project-a-parts-organizer-rack\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003Emy first successful build\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBecause I've already selected the articles from my top sources, I can open up Pocket and start reading. I like this a lot, because I now have all my content in one location. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhat's particularly nice about Pocket is that it runs on not only my couch-side web browser and on Chrome, but there are versions of Pocket for iOS and Android. As a result, I can read articles anywhere -- even in the \u003Cem\u003Enecessarium\u003C\u002Fem\u003E&nbsp;or when I'm out and about. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EPart of my morning flow is posting to the social networks. Unfortunately, this has changed. It used to be that whenever I found an article that was interesting in my Pocket collection, I tapped the Share icon in Pocket and then selected&nbsp;\u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fbufferapp.com\"\u003EBuffer\u003C\u002Fa\u003E. Buffer then took the article, scheduled it, and posted it to Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Two clicks and I used to be able shared something interesting.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBut Facebook broke that. Facebook no longer allows tools like Buffer and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fhootsuite.com\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EHootsuite\u003C\u002Fa\u003E to to post to personal Facebook pages. I've spent years building up my personal Facebook page following and don't want to start a corporate page (or orphan all my followers), so when Facebook broke auto-posting, it hurt. Now, I hand post to Twitter and then do it again on Facebook. LinkedIn gets a lot less attention, and, frankly, I post less frequently. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"pinbox\" data-uuid=\"47b1617b-799d-4263-9878-ccc4bc00d4b9\" data-uri=\"\u002Fapi\u002Fcomponent\u002Feditorial\u002F47b1617b-799d-4263-9878-ccc4bc00d4b9\" data-float=\"right\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnother aspect of my morning reading that's changed is I no longer save articles to Evernote. I used to save off articles that would serve me for either projects I'm working on or general research resources. While I use \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fevernote.com\"\u003EEvernote\u003C\u002Fa\u003E to write articles, I no longer use Evernote as my hub of everything. Pocket handles archived articles just fine. And Notion (more on that later) handles notes.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERinse, wash, repeat. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI'm relatively holistic about my morning reading process. I do it until I'm bored or hungry, or feel like switching gears and moving on to managing my email and schedule. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe key point to all of this is that ever since I moved to this Pocket-read-post-archive cycle for my daily reading, my productivity and flexibility has gone up tremendously. I'm getting more done, and the quality of the process is far more pleasant. I'm no longer tied to my desktop browser, because all of these tools work on all my devices. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EConnecting and scheduling\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAssuming there's nothing on fire that I've had to handle first thing, at some point during the morning, I'll switch from reading to communicating. I'll switch out of Pocket and into Gmail and work my way through my email. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGmail does a great job of filtering out spam, but I'll go through the Updates and Promotions tabs and delete or mark-as-spam anything that's not necessary. This is usually a pretty fast cleanup. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESometimes, there's something in my Updates section that indicates there's an action item. For example, if one of my websites has pushed out a security warning, depending on the severity I'll either go right to work fixing the problem or sending the email to Todoist as a to-do item. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis is where the integration of \u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"b3e6f6a4-3113-48a0-a580-47cdd28301c7\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Ftodoist.com\u002F\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"Todoist\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E and Gmail is so nice. All I need to do is tap the Todoist icon, and I can turn the email message into a to-do item, complete with a link back to the original email message. Once I've scheduled it as a to-do item (either for that day or a later date), I can then archive the message and it's out of my inbox. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fmicrosoft-to-do-vs-google-tasks-the-best-list-manager-app-for-you\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMicrosoft To Do vs Google Tasks: The best list manager app for you\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI use the same process for the rest of my email. If I can reply immediately to a query from someone mailing me, I do. If not (for example, if it will require additional research or it's really an action item disguised as an email message), I'll send it over to Todoist as a to-do item and clear it out of my inbox. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI do the same with calendar-related items. For example, I'm on the Information Systems and Management Certificate Advisory Board at the UC Berkeley extension, and when I get an email that there's a scheduled meeting, I can right-click on the date right in the middle of the email message and schedule it to the calendar. Once again, the original email is available as a link, so I can remove it from my inbox and archive it. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn this way, I can power through my inbox, responding, assigning to to-do items, or to calendar. Within a very short time, I have my inbox cleared. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENow, to be fair, I have a slight email fetish, so I do check back in to my inbox, once or twice (or 20 or 30 times) a day. But now that my inbox is generally clean and empty, that practice doesn't have much to grab onto, and it's only a waste of a second or two. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn fact, now that I have email notifications integrated into my watch, I'm finding I'm actually breaking myself of the habit, because unless I hear the notification tone, I don't have any important emails coming in. I have actually gone a few hours without checking my email inbox, which is something of a record for me. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EManaging my daily teaching opportunities\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs it turns out, supporting users is a lot like teaching online students.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESome years ago, I adopted a bunch of WordPress plugins as \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fwhy-i-code-how-to-think-about-side-projects\u002F\"\u003Ea side-project that helps me keep my coding skills sharp\u003C\u002Fa\u003E. One of the (unexpected) side-effects of that is that I now have users to support. Yep, even free plugins require some amount of support time.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe way I manage this is I've added a support ticketing system to my lab notes website. I use a cloud service called \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.helpscout.com\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EHelp Scout\u003C\u002Fa\u003E. Users post their questions and I get an email notification. All the details for each users' situation is kept in one thread on the site, so when I go back to the conversation days or weeks later, I can see what previously transpired, all in one place. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"0c40097b-2bec-4619-8e73-f7aba6cdd27e\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EHelp Scout also has great team features, but I'm a programming army of one.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-alt-text=\"help-scout-2022-05-09-06-12-35.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"help-scout-2022-05-09-06-12-35.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F05\u002F09\" data-image-width=\"1403\" data-image-height=\"519\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI just think of those users like more of my students. If any questions show up in my inbox, I go into the ticketing system and answer questions. I'm not assigning users letter grades, but otherwise the process is pretty much the same. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBy the way, this is also a great way to think about users, which I initially was a bit unhappy about adding to my daily workload. But the reframe is this: I'm an educator and these are more people in need of assistance while they're learning to use these plugins. So, rather than thinking about providing user support as an added workload, I think of the users as more of my students and their questions as simply more teaching opportunities. It's also a great way to keep up on what people are doing out there, and gives me a much more \"on the street\" dialog with users, which is invaluable as a tech journalist.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"pinbox\" data-uuid=\"635210bb-41ff-11e4-b6a0-d4ae52e95e57\" data-uri=\"\u002Fapi\u002Fcomponent\u002Feditorial\u002F635210bb-41ff-11e4-b6a0-d4ae52e95e57\" data-float=\"right\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHere's another little trick I use: I get a lot of feature requests (which I call \"cool feature ideas\") from the plugin users.

My email has been processed and actions have been moved to my to-do list and schedule items to my calendar. I've done a considerable amount of reading, and I'm up to speed on the various issues I'm responsible for following. I've graded students and supported users (and added any bugs or key follow-up items to my to-do list). \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENow, it's time to tackle the to-do items. Like Pocket and Gmail, Todoist runs on my phone, my tablets, and on my desktop in a browser window. It even runs on my Apple Watch. So I can organize and manage my to-do items from anywhere. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe very first thing I do is go down the list and move items around. Some items are no longer a today priority, while some have increased in priority. I have some repeating tasks (like grading students for each of my sections) that pop up when they need to. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBefore I go on to the rest of my day, which is doing my to-do tasks and slowly migrating into project time, I'll tell you my newest secret weapon for managing to-do items: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fnotion.so\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ENotion\u003C\u002Fa\u003E.

We all suffer from this practice, where anything that might have to be done, even someday items and \"I'll get to it when I can\" items, future project ideas, and all the rest all wind up on the to-do list as low-priority items that fill the list to the brim. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESome days are spent merely taking all those items that were previously scheduled for the, say, 15th of next month, and moving them to the following month once again. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI gave this problem a lot of thought and realized there are items I need to do, that are actionable in the near term, and items that just need to be on a list somewhere, that have no specific priority. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"33290891-6956-44b9-bc64-4a2c95fe85d3\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EManaging projects in Notion\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-alt-text=\"rvzdnet-projects-2022-04-29-03-26-25.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"rvzdnet-projects-2022-04-29-03-26-25.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F05\u002F09\" data-image-width=\"1066\" data-image-height=\"397\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENotion is a combination whiteboard, list manager, project manager, app engine, and database. It's actually quite odd and quite wonderful. It takes a while to get your arms around all it can do, but once you do, it's incredibly helpful. Unfortunately, it's got a silly name, a relatively uninspiring icon and marketing site, so I worry about its survivability. That said, it does have some serious funding behind it, so I'm hoping for the best.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYou can create boards of certain categories, and inside those boards, you can make lists. Each list item is a card on a board, and you can write notes and interact with other members of a team on the back of each card. It sounds complex, but it's amazingly intuitive. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENotion is also available on Android and iOS as well as web platforms, so once again, I can work on my work from anywhere. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI've set up a bunch of Notion pages and all the items that \"should be on the list\" but aren't actionable this week or next go onto a Notion. I regularly dig into those pages, particularly when I'm working on a corresponding project, and pull items from the page and assign them to Todoist -- but only if I intend to work on them right away, that week. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThat, by the way, is the entire key to keeping your to-do list under control. If you actually intend to do an item within a reasonably short period of time, put it on your to-do list. If you expect to do it someday, it's not a to-do list item, not an actionable item, and you should write them on another list somewhere.

I use this to block out a set of days for everything that has a Project Due entry. If a project will take me four days, I use four full-day appointments. If three days, I use three, and so on.

This latest optimization, where I added Notion, has been working for a few months now, and so far it's the most effective flow I've used.

Surprisingly enough, there's no Microsoft software in my daily tools, still. Used to be, I lived in Outlook.

The benefits of installing a beta on your iPhone or iPad include getting access to new features before the general public, and who knows, maybe you'll find and help Apple fix a bug before the full release this fall.

And when software isn't finished, bugs and issues crop up as more people install the update. Some of those issues and bugs can, and often do, make it very difficult to use your iPhone or iPad for basic tasks.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor instance, during previous beta programs I've had my iPhone become completely unresponsive when trying to answer a phone call. Eventually I had to restore my phone in order to get it working again -- losing precious data and several hours of my time. When testing iOS 16, I've had issues with not getting alerts from the Messages app, causing me to miss messages for hours at a time.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEven though show-stopping bugs like the one I just mentioned aren't all that common, you're sure to experience compatibility issues with the apps you use on a daily basis. Because those apps haven't been updated to work with the latest software (and likely won't be until it's released this fall), some apps just won't work. I've had issues with banking apps in the past, or even the Twitter app at one point. Admittedly, a forced break from Twitter isn't the worst thing that can happen, but it can be really frustrating when an app you use and rely on daily breaks because you've installed a beta.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf the potential of bricking your Apple device or tons of bugs in your favorite apps isn't enough to dissuade you from installing Apple's latest beta software, perhaps battery life will. That is to say, battery life during the beta program is absolutely horrible. If you're accustomed to getting through a full day of use with your iPhone on iOS 15, expect that to be cut in half. On a good day.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EComplicating matters is the fact that just because an app, feature, or battery life is fine on a specific beta doesn't mean that a future update will break something you need.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMy sage advice? Wait until later in the beta cycle, towards the end of July or mid-August before jumping aboard the beta train. This allows Apple to gather and implement feedback from only the most diehard users who are willing to spend the time troubleshooting and submitting feedback.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt's important to note that you can't go back to iOS 15 and keep all of the information on your device intact. Unless, of course, you created a backup of your iPhone or iPad on your computer before updating to iOS 16. If you forgot to create a local backup on your Mac and thought you could just use iCloud to restore your phone, I have bad news. You can't restore an iOS 16 created iCloud backup to an iOS 15 device. In other words, you'll have to factory reset your device and start all over to go back to an official iOS\u002FiPadOS release.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf all of that means very little to you and you just want to know where and how to install iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, well, wait no more, fam.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"827cf074-6003-478f-9837-a69c8ffc447b\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EiOS 16 includes the ability to edit messages in iMessage.

Apple's products are largely customizable, and this is no different: you can opt for one of five colors and get more or less storage depending on what you need.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn addition, you can also equip your iPad to use cellular data if Wi-Fi doesn't feel sufficient for classes or commuting. For students or professionals who might need to use their tablets while on the go often, a cellular data plan ensures you can always get online to access.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EReview:&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca

Those are two of our favorite AirPods models. Other models, like the AirPods 3 and 4 offer up different fits -- both without the silicon ear tips that stabilize in your ear. The AirPods 4 is the latest model, so don't expect massive sales on the product just yet. Normally, brands will discount their older models with the best deals.

Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we're recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing -- in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhere can you shop the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAll major retailers should have sales and discounts leading up to and during Black Friday\u002FCyber Monday.

I was looking for a safe and functional 3-1 charger that would cut down the amount of cords I needed to pack while traveling. This is it. Unveiled at CES 2023, this 3-1 is truly worth your money if you own an Apple Watch and a pair of AirPods too and want a great charger for at home and on the go. Ortiz said that the charging speed on this charger is comparable to individual cords with respective wall adapters, even when charging simultaneously. &quot;Whether I was charging one device or three, I noticed that the devices were charging at a comparable speed to when I normally had them plugged into their respective wall chargers,&quot; she wrote in her review.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI can concur based on my personal use, too. This stand charges up all of my devices quickly, and I love how easy it is to pack up to take on a trip. Even though this Anker charger is on the pricier side, costing $110, it's worth it thanks to its function and duality. It also frequently goes on sale. Compared to other options on the market, I think this 3-in-1 pick offers immense value because it can be used at home or on the go with ease, especially if you can grab it on sale.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EVerified Amazon customers give this Anker charger a 4.6\u002F5 stars and said they liked the compactness and convenience of this design as well as the easy to use setup, foldability, and magnetic strength.

This new model has the USB-C connector on the side instead of the bottom of the pack, making it easier to use your phone standing upright while the pack is charging. Instead of the charging indicator lights being on the side, they're now more visible, located on the back of the pack.

Similarly to many options on our Best MagSafe battery pack list, it provides 5,000mAh of extra juice to your phone, which is a standard capacity for many MagSafe packs. Its design, though simple, fits snugly against my phone (no bumping onto the lip of my camera lens) and remains secure.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIts secure grip and competitive battery speak for themselves. I took this pack to a Yankees game, to several late-night outings, to work, and even on errands, and I am impressed with the charging. You can expect between a 25-30% battery boost in about an hour to your phone.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhat's more is that it comes with a built-in stand that easily swings in and out -- no folding required -- and while I originally thought this would be useless, I rather enjoyed being able to prop my phone up whenever. Perhaps the best thing about this Belkin pack is that it comes in a few fun colors, a nice feature many competitors still haven't matched.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELike the previous iteration, this pack is still not the slimmest design I've ever seen. But the newly upgraded design offers a more comfortable and sleek user experience that feels great in the hand and doesn't feel as boxy as the pack really is. Overall, I'm impressed with the new shape and think it was a much-needed facelift.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EApple is the only retailer that sells the blue, green, pink, and sand color options right now (as well as black), which is a bit of a downside.

With enough space to hold five cards, it indeed resembles a classic wallet and not just a cardholder. The Ezmo wallet also doubles as a phone stand, so you can watch your favorite entertainment on the go or keep your phone screen visible at your desk. The stand has adjustable viewing angles in both portrait and landscape modes.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt's made of vegan leather and comes in four traditional color options (black, dark brown, navy blue, and dove gray).

When evaluating MagSafe wallets, I always look for easy and seamless access to my NJ Transit card, which I need to grab and put away quickly. Thanks to the notch on the front of the Ezmo wallet, I can store my transit card in the front. It's easy to slide out, so I highly recommend choosing one with a front-notch option if you're looking for a commuter-friendly wallet.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI also like how the Ezmo MagSafe wallet provides enough space for five cards and even folded cash.

I enjoyed being able to prop my phone up while at the office. I even found myself using the back half of the wallet as a makeshift grip on the train, which added some extra stability. Although it's a pricier option, I think it's well worth the investment due to its multi-functionality and excellent quality, especially if you use your MagSafe wallet daily. The Ezmo wallet is also available in a tracking version -- the LOC8 MagSafe Finder Wallet and Stand -- if you're prone to losing things frequently.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECurrent users on the Journey website said they liked the slim profile, smart design, larger card capacity, and sleek material -- so much so that the wallet has a 5\u002F5-star rating online, with one customer noting that it &quot;does it all really well.&quot;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EJourney Ezmo wallet and phone stand features:&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003EMulti-functional&amp;nbsp;| RFID protection | Built-in lock to prevent card slippage |&amp;nbsp;Dimensions: 66 mm x 102.5 mm x 12.5 mm |&amp;nbsp;Card capacity: Up to 5 cards\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"Journey Ezmo MagSafe Wallet and Stand\" data-superlative=\"Best MagSafe wallet\" data-imagegroup=\"{&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;journey-magsafe-wallet&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;credits&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;imageData&quot;:{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;38d6d0c2-6c3c-4c0f-941b-b145367397ff&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;journey-magsafe-wallet&quot;,&quot;filename&quot;:&quot;img-1051.jpg&quot;,&quot;path&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2024\u002F03\u002F12\u002F38d6d0c2-6c3c-4c0f-941b-b145367397ff\u002Fimg-1051.jpg&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:1124934,&quot;width&quot;:6000,&quot;height&quot;:4000,&quot;dateCreated&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2024-03-12 14:29:03&quot;,&quot;timezone&quot;:&quot;UTC&quot;,&quot;timezone_type&quot;:3},&quot;dateUpdated&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2024-03-12 14:30:18&quot;,&quot;timezone&quot;:&quot;UTC&quot;,&quot;timezone_type&quot;:3},&quot;needsModeration&quot;:false,&quot;mimeType&quot;:&quot;image\u002Fjpeg&quot;,&quot;deleted&quot;:false,&quot;credits&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;journey-magsafe-wallet&quot;,&quot;restricted&quot;:false,&quot;startDate&quot;:null,&quot;endDate&quot;:null,&quot;preferred&quot;:false,&quot;watermark&quot;:false,&quot;doNotCrop&quot;:false,&quot;doNotResize&quot;:false,&quot;primaryCollection&quot;:null,&quot;vanityUrl&quot;:null,&quot;notes&quot;:null,&quot;crop&quot;:null,&quot;cropGravity&quot;:0,&quot;preservedRegion&quot;:null,&quot;isNew&quot;:false,&quot;keywords&quot;:[],&quot;primeColor&quot;:null,&quot;hasWarning&quot;:false,&quot;typeName&quot;:&quot;content_image&quot;},&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;38d6d0c2-6c3c-4c0f-941b-b145367397ff&quot;,&quot;imageAltText&quot;:&quot;journey-magsafe-wallet&quot;,&quot;imageCaption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;imageCredit&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;imageDoNotCrop&quot;:false,&quot;imageDoNotResize&quot;:false,&quot;imageWatermark&quot;:false,&quot;imageFilename&quot;:&quot;img-1051.jpg&quot;,&quot;imageDateCreated&quot;:&quot;2024\u002F03\u002F12&quot;,&quot;imageWidth&quot;:6000,&quot;imageHeight&quot;:4000,&quot;imageParallax&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageCrop&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageEnlarge&quot;:false}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET\" data-merchantoffers=\"[{&quot;useMonetization&quot;:true,&quot;monetizedUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fshop-links.co\u002Flink\u002F?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fjourney-ezmo-magsafe-wallet-phone-stand-black%2F6571280.p%3F&amp;publisher_slug=zdnet&amp;article_name=__ARTICLE_NAME__&amp;article_url=__ARTICLE_URL__&amp;exclusive=1&amp;u1=subid_value&quot;,&quot;offerMerchant&quot;:&quot;Best Buy&quot;,&quot;offerPrice&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerPriceRange&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerPriceText&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerType&quot;:&quot;Single Product&quot;,&quot;monetizationStatus&quot;:&quot;on&quot;,&quot;rawUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bestbuy.com\u002Fsite\u002Fjourney-ezmo-magsafe-wallet-phone-stand-black\u002F6571280.p?&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fshop-links.co\u002Flink\u002F?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fjourney-ezmo-magsafe-wallet-phone-stand-black%2F6571280.p%3F&amp;publisher_slug=zdnet&amp;article_name=__ARTICLE_NAME__&amp;article_url=__ARTICLE_URL__&amp;exclusive=1&amp;u1=subid_value&quot;}]\" data-usepricing=\"true\" data-like=\"~ RFID protection ~ Large card capacity ~ Doubles as stand ~ Premium feel ~ Strong magnetic hold ~Slim design\" data-dislike=\"~ Expensive ~ Limited color options ~ Adds some weight to phone ~ May be too bulky for some\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"146a1160-7420-4e81-ba85-8f9aa4229eab\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003EIf you don't need a larger capacity to store your favorite cards, cash, or other incidentals, a card holder is probably a better bet. While Moft markets their Snap on Phone Stand and Wallet as a wallet, it's definitely more of a card holder. Based upon my own testing, I've only ever been able to squeeze two cards into this holder, and most of the time prefer to just use it for one important card (often my NJ Transit SmartLink card).&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe design of this holder is very sleek and minimalist, but it's available in a wide-range of color options and costs only $30. While there's for sure cheaper wallet options out there, this is really fairly priced considering the dual function you get with the stand and card holder combo, plus the quality material and construction. Most other wallet options are often upwards of $35, so Moft has competitively priced a great MagSafe accessory, in my opinion.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI have used this card holder countless times, and it is my favorite option when I am traveling with only one card that I need accessible. I find it easy to remove and insert cards from this wallet, though occasionally, it can be tricky to quickly pull out two cards without a hassle, which isn't the biggest deal unless you're rushing to make the train in the morning like me. Regardless, I have gifted this three times since being able to test one for ZDNET, and think it's a great option to add to your MagSafe collection.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMoft Snap on Phone Stand and Wallet features:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E Thin profile and design | Works in Floating, Portait, and Landscape modes | Compatible with other Moft accessories, like the MagSafe battery pack | Compatible with iPhone 12+ and MagSafe compatible phone cases\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"Moft Snap on Phone Stand and Wallet\" data-superlative=\"Best minimalist MagSafe card holder\" data-imagegroup=\"{&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;moft-magsafe-wallet-and-stand&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;credits&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;imageData&quot;:{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;4ad92c49-240b-448e-bbc7-9453e919e433&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;moft-magsafe-wallet-and-stand&quot;,&quot;filename&quot;:&quot;img-1007.jpg&quot;,&quot;path&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2024\u002F03\u002F12\u002F4ad92c49-240b-448e-bbc7-9453e919e433\u002Fimg-1007.jpg&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:7376557,&quot;width&quot;:6000,&quot;height&quot;:4000,&quot;dateCreated&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2024-03-12 14:33:25&quot;,&quot;timezone&quot;:&quot;UTC&quot;,&quot;timezone_type&quot;:3},&quot;dateUpdated&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2024-03-12 14:34:11&quot;,&quot;timezone&quot;:&quot;UTC&quot;,&quot;timezone_type&quot;:3},&quot;needsModeration&quot;:false,&quot;mimeType&quot;:&quot;image\u002Fjpeg&quot;,&quot;deleted&quot;:false,&quot;credits&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;moft-magsafe-wallet-and-stand&quot;,&quot;restricted&quot;:false,&quot;startDate&quot;:null,&quot;endDate&quot;:null,&quot;preferred&quot;:false,&quot;watermark&quot;:false,&quot;doNotCrop&quot;:false,&quot;doNotResize&quot;:false,&quot;primaryCollection&quot;:null,&quot;vanityUrl&quot;:null,&quot;notes&quot;:null,&quot;crop&quot;:null,&quot;cropGravity&quot;:0,&quot;preservedRegion&quot;:null,&quot;isNew&quot;:false,&quot;keywords&quot;:[],&quot;primeColor&quot;:null,&quot;hasWarning&quot;:false,&quot;typeName&quot;:&quot;content_image&quot;},&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;4ad92c49-240b-448e-bbc7-9453e919e433&quot;,&quot;imageAltText&quot;:&quot;moft-magsafe-wallet-and-stand&quot;,&quot;imageCaption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;imageCredit&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;imageDoNotCrop&quot;:false,&quot;imageDoNotResize&quot;:false,&quot;imageWatermark&quot;:false,&quot;imageFilename&quot;:&quot;img-1007.jpg&quot;,&quot;imageDateCreated&quot;:&quot;2024\u002F03\u002F12&quot;,&quot;imageWidth&quot;:6000,&quot;imageHeight&quot;:4000,&quot;imageParallax&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageCrop&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageEnlarge&quot;:false}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET\" data-merchantoffers=\"[{&quot;useMonetization&quot;:true,&quot;monetizedUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fshareasale.com\u002Fr.cfm?b=1391923&amp;u=514792&amp;m=90301&amp;afftrack=subid_value&amp;urllink=www.moft.us%2Fproducts%2Fmoft-snap-on-phone-stand-wallet-magsafe-compatible%3F&quot;,&quot;offerMerchant&quot;:&quot;Moft&quot;,&quot;offerPrice&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerPriceRange&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerPriceText&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerType&quot;:&quot;Single Product&quot;,&quot;monetizationStatus&quot;:&quot;on&quot;,&quot;rawUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.moft.us\u002Fproducts\u002Fmoft-snap-on-phone-stand-wallet-magsafe-compatible?&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fshareasale.com\u002Fr.cfm?b=1391923&amp;u=514792&amp;m=90301&amp;afftrack=subid_value&amp;urllink=www.moft.us%2Fproducts%2Fmoft-snap-on-phone-stand-wallet-magsafe-compatible%3F&quot;}]\" data-usepricing=\"true\" data-like=\"~ Slim ~ Great for those needing small capacity options ~ Great color options ~ Fairly priced\" data-dislike=\"~ Small capacity ~ Hard to dislodge certain cards\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"15c22164-f19e-43ce-b313-db03d8491c51\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003EJason Cipriani, a former ZDNET contributor, has been using the non-pro version of Twelve South's HiRise for MacBook for about a year with no complaints.

MagSafe accessories can be really handy and helpful, but only if they're within your budget or worth the long-term investment. Otherwise, they may be an unnecessary expense or something that winds up sitting in a drawer for several years before being tossed out. Try to keep a reasonable budget for yourself when shopping, and remember that the best products aren't always the most expensive items on the market, and it's always a good idea to check out sale events.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EUse case: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003EThis ties into the bullet above, but keeping your use case in mind while shopping for MagSafe gear is critical to avoid buying junk that you throw out or give away down the line. For something to be worth the money you spend on it, it has to bring added value and fix a current problem you're experiencing with your phone. If you only need a card holder to store your transit card, you don't necessarily need to splash out on a pricier wallet option that holds more cards and cash.

You have essential items like cases and chargers, as well as nonessential add-ons like grips, stands, mounts, and more. The beauty of accessorizing is you can take it as little or as far as you'd like and spend as little or as much as you're comfortable with. While most accessories remain under the $100 mark, there are several items like MagSafe charging stations that can easily push over that limit. We made sure to consider numerous types of accessories across varying price points and their overall value compared to what you'll pay. We think every item on this list is worth the money if it's the type of product you're looking for, but ultimately, the total cost spent on accessorizing with MagSafe is up to you.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBest List picks:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E&amp;nbsp;The accessory options included in this list are certainly not the only options available on the market and are definitely not the only MagSafe accessories that we've tried.

Apple's products are largely customizable, and this is no different: you can opt for one of five colors and get more or less storage depending on what you need.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn addition, you can also equip your iPad to use cellular data if Wi-Fi doesn't feel sufficient for classes or commuting. For students or professionals who might need to use their tablets while on the go often, a cellular data plan ensures you can always get online to access.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EReview:&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca

Those are two of our favorite AirPods models. Other models, like the AirPods 3 and 4 offer up different fits -- both without the silicon ear tips that stabilize in your ear. The AirPods 4 is the latest model, so don't expect massive sales on the product just yet. Normally, brands will discount their older models with the best deals.

Our experts looked for deals that were at least 20% off (or are hardly ever on sale), using established price comparison tools and trackers to determine whether the deal is actually on sale and how frequently it drops.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWe also looked over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the deals we're recommending. Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing -- in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhere can you shop the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals?&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAll major retailers should have sales and discounts leading up to and during Black Friday\u002FCyber Monday.

I was looking for a safe and functional 3-1 charger that would cut down the amount of cords I needed to pack while traveling. This is it. Unveiled at CES 2023, this 3-1 is truly worth your money if you own an Apple Watch and a pair of AirPods too and want a great charger for at home and on the go. Ortiz said that the charging speed on this charger is comparable to individual cords with respective wall adapters, even when charging simultaneously. &quot;Whether I was charging one device or three, I noticed that the devices were charging at a comparable speed to when I normally had them plugged into their respective wall chargers,&quot; she wrote in her review.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI can concur based on my personal use, too. This stand charges up all of my devices quickly, and I love how easy it is to pack up to take on a trip. Even though this Anker charger is on the pricier side, costing $110, it's worth it thanks to its function and duality. It also frequently goes on sale. Compared to other options on the market, I think this 3-in-1 pick offers immense value because it can be used at home or on the go with ease, especially if you can grab it on sale.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EVerified Amazon customers give this Anker charger a 4.6\u002F5 stars and said they liked the compactness and convenience of this design as well as the easy to use setup, foldability, and magnetic strength.

This new model has the USB-C connector on the side instead of the bottom of the pack, making it easier to use your phone standing upright while the pack is charging. Instead of the charging indicator lights being on the side, they're now more visible, located on the back of the pack.

Similarly to many options on our Best MagSafe battery pack list, it provides 5,000mAh of extra juice to your phone, which is a standard capacity for many MagSafe packs. Its design, though simple, fits snugly against my phone (no bumping onto the lip of my camera lens) and remains secure.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIts secure grip and competitive battery speak for themselves. I took this pack to a Yankees game, to several late-night outings, to work, and even on errands, and I am impressed with the charging. You can expect between a 25-30% battery boost in about an hour to your phone.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhat's more is that it comes with a built-in stand that easily swings in and out -- no folding required -- and while I originally thought this would be useless, I rather enjoyed being able to prop my phone up whenever. Perhaps the best thing about this Belkin pack is that it comes in a few fun colors, a nice feature many competitors still haven't matched.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELike the previous iteration, this pack is still not the slimmest design I've ever seen. But the newly upgraded design offers a more comfortable and sleek user experience that feels great in the hand and doesn't feel as boxy as the pack really is. Overall, I'm impressed with the new shape and think it was a much-needed facelift.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EApple is the only retailer that sells the blue, green, pink, and sand color options right now (as well as black), which is a bit of a downside.

With enough space to hold five cards, it indeed resembles a classic wallet and not just a cardholder. The Ezmo wallet also doubles as a phone stand, so you can watch your favorite entertainment on the go or keep your phone screen visible at your desk. The stand has adjustable viewing angles in both portrait and landscape modes.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt's made of vegan leather and comes in four traditional color options (black, dark brown, navy blue, and dove gray).

When evaluating MagSafe wallets, I always look for easy and seamless access to my NJ Transit card, which I need to grab and put away quickly. Thanks to the notch on the front of the Ezmo wallet, I can store my transit card in the front. It's easy to slide out, so I highly recommend choosing one with a front-notch option if you're looking for a commuter-friendly wallet.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI also like how the Ezmo MagSafe wallet provides enough space for five cards and even folded cash.

I enjoyed being able to prop my phone up while at the office. I even found myself using the back half of the wallet as a makeshift grip on the train, which added some extra stability. Although it's a pricier option, I think it's well worth the investment due to its multi-functionality and excellent quality, especially if you use your MagSafe wallet daily. The Ezmo wallet is also available in a tracking version -- the LOC8 MagSafe Finder Wallet and Stand -- if you're prone to losing things frequently.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECurrent users on the Journey website said they liked the slim profile, smart design, larger card capacity, and sleek material -- so much so that the wallet has a 5\u002F5-star rating online, with one customer noting that it &quot;does it all really well.&quot;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EJourney Ezmo wallet and phone stand features:&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003EMulti-functional&amp;nbsp;| RFID protection | Built-in lock to prevent card slippage |&amp;nbsp;Dimensions: 66 mm x 102.5 mm x 12.5 mm |&amp;nbsp;Card capacity: Up to 5 cards\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"Journey Ezmo MagSafe Wallet and Stand\" data-superlative=\"Best MagSafe wallet\" data-imagegroup=\"{&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;journey-magsafe-wallet&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;credits&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;imageData&quot;:{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;38d6d0c2-6c3c-4c0f-941b-b145367397ff&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;journey-magsafe-wallet&quot;,&quot;filename&quot;:&quot;img-1051.jpg&quot;,&quot;path&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2024\u002F03\u002F12\u002F38d6d0c2-6c3c-4c0f-941b-b145367397ff\u002Fimg-1051.jpg&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:1124934,&quot;width&quot;:6000,&quot;height&quot;:4000,&quot;dateCreated&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2024-03-12 14:29:03&quot;,&quot;timezone&quot;:&quot;UTC&quot;,&quot;timezone_type&quot;:3},&quot;dateUpdated&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2024-03-12 14:30:18&quot;,&quot;timezone&quot;:&quot;UTC&quot;,&quot;timezone_type&quot;:3},&quot;needsModeration&quot;:false,&quot;mimeType&quot;:&quot;image\u002Fjpeg&quot;,&quot;deleted&quot;:false,&quot;credits&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;journey-magsafe-wallet&quot;,&quot;restricted&quot;:false,&quot;startDate&quot;:null,&quot;endDate&quot;:null,&quot;preferred&quot;:false,&quot;watermark&quot;:false,&quot;doNotCrop&quot;:false,&quot;doNotResize&quot;:false,&quot;primaryCollection&quot;:null,&quot;vanityUrl&quot;:null,&quot;notes&quot;:null,&quot;crop&quot;:null,&quot;cropGravity&quot;:0,&quot;preservedRegion&quot;:null,&quot;isNew&quot;:false,&quot;keywords&quot;:[],&quot;primeColor&quot;:null,&quot;hasWarning&quot;:false,&quot;typeName&quot;:&quot;content_image&quot;},&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;38d6d0c2-6c3c-4c0f-941b-b145367397ff&quot;,&quot;imageAltText&quot;:&quot;journey-magsafe-wallet&quot;,&quot;imageCaption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;imageCredit&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;imageDoNotCrop&quot;:false,&quot;imageDoNotResize&quot;:false,&quot;imageWatermark&quot;:false,&quot;imageFilename&quot;:&quot;img-1051.jpg&quot;,&quot;imageDateCreated&quot;:&quot;2024\u002F03\u002F12&quot;,&quot;imageWidth&quot;:6000,&quot;imageHeight&quot;:4000,&quot;imageParallax&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageCrop&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageEnlarge&quot;:false}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET\" data-merchantoffers=\"[{&quot;useMonetization&quot;:true,&quot;monetizedUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fshop-links.co\u002Flink\u002F?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fjourney-ezmo-magsafe-wallet-phone-stand-black%2F6571280.p%3F&amp;publisher_slug=zdnet&amp;article_name=__ARTICLE_NAME__&amp;article_url=__ARTICLE_URL__&amp;exclusive=1&amp;u1=subid_value&quot;,&quot;offerMerchant&quot;:&quot;Best Buy&quot;,&quot;offerPrice&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerPriceRange&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerPriceText&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerType&quot;:&quot;Single Product&quot;,&quot;monetizationStatus&quot;:&quot;on&quot;,&quot;rawUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bestbuy.com\u002Fsite\u002Fjourney-ezmo-magsafe-wallet-phone-stand-black\u002F6571280.p?&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fshop-links.co\u002Flink\u002F?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bestbuy.com%2Fsite%2Fjourney-ezmo-magsafe-wallet-phone-stand-black%2F6571280.p%3F&amp;publisher_slug=zdnet&amp;article_name=__ARTICLE_NAME__&amp;article_url=__ARTICLE_URL__&amp;exclusive=1&amp;u1=subid_value&quot;}]\" data-usepricing=\"true\" data-like=\"~ RFID protection ~ Large card capacity ~ Doubles as stand ~ Premium feel ~ Strong magnetic hold ~Slim design\" data-dislike=\"~ Expensive ~ Limited color options ~ Adds some weight to phone ~ May be too bulky for some\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"146a1160-7420-4e81-ba85-8f9aa4229eab\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003EIf you don't need a larger capacity to store your favorite cards, cash, or other incidentals, a card holder is probably a better bet. While Moft markets their Snap on Phone Stand and Wallet as a wallet, it's definitely more of a card holder. Based upon my own testing, I've only ever been able to squeeze two cards into this holder, and most of the time prefer to just use it for one important card (often my NJ Transit SmartLink card).&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe design of this holder is very sleek and minimalist, but it's available in a wide-range of color options and costs only $30. While there's for sure cheaper wallet options out there, this is really fairly priced considering the dual function you get with the stand and card holder combo, plus the quality material and construction. Most other wallet options are often upwards of $35, so Moft has competitively priced a great MagSafe accessory, in my opinion.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI have used this card holder countless times, and it is my favorite option when I am traveling with only one card that I need accessible. I find it easy to remove and insert cards from this wallet, though occasionally, it can be tricky to quickly pull out two cards without a hassle, which isn't the biggest deal unless you're rushing to make the train in the morning like me. Regardless, I have gifted this three times since being able to test one for ZDNET, and think it's a great option to add to your MagSafe collection.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMoft Snap on Phone Stand and Wallet features:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E Thin profile and design | Works in Floating, Portait, and Landscape modes | Compatible with other Moft accessories, like the MagSafe battery pack | Compatible with iPhone 12+ and MagSafe compatible phone cases\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"Moft Snap on Phone Stand and Wallet\" data-superlative=\"Best minimalist MagSafe card holder\" data-imagegroup=\"{&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;moft-magsafe-wallet-and-stand&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;credits&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;imageData&quot;:{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;4ad92c49-240b-448e-bbc7-9453e919e433&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;moft-magsafe-wallet-and-stand&quot;,&quot;filename&quot;:&quot;img-1007.jpg&quot;,&quot;path&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2024\u002F03\u002F12\u002F4ad92c49-240b-448e-bbc7-9453e919e433\u002Fimg-1007.jpg&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:7376557,&quot;width&quot;:6000,&quot;height&quot;:4000,&quot;dateCreated&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2024-03-12 14:33:25&quot;,&quot;timezone&quot;:&quot;UTC&quot;,&quot;timezone_type&quot;:3},&quot;dateUpdated&quot;:{&quot;date&quot;:&quot;2024-03-12 14:34:11&quot;,&quot;timezone&quot;:&quot;UTC&quot;,&quot;timezone_type&quot;:3},&quot;needsModeration&quot;:false,&quot;mimeType&quot;:&quot;image\u002Fjpeg&quot;,&quot;deleted&quot;:false,&quot;credits&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;moft-magsafe-wallet-and-stand&quot;,&quot;restricted&quot;:false,&quot;startDate&quot;:null,&quot;endDate&quot;:null,&quot;preferred&quot;:false,&quot;watermark&quot;:false,&quot;doNotCrop&quot;:false,&quot;doNotResize&quot;:false,&quot;primaryCollection&quot;:null,&quot;vanityUrl&quot;:null,&quot;notes&quot;:null,&quot;crop&quot;:null,&quot;cropGravity&quot;:0,&quot;preservedRegion&quot;:null,&quot;isNew&quot;:false,&quot;keywords&quot;:[],&quot;primeColor&quot;:null,&quot;hasWarning&quot;:false,&quot;typeName&quot;:&quot;content_image&quot;},&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;4ad92c49-240b-448e-bbc7-9453e919e433&quot;,&quot;imageAltText&quot;:&quot;moft-magsafe-wallet-and-stand&quot;,&quot;imageCaption&quot;:&quot;\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E&quot;,&quot;imageCredit&quot;:&quot;Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET&quot;,&quot;imageDoNotCrop&quot;:false,&quot;imageDoNotResize&quot;:false,&quot;imageWatermark&quot;:false,&quot;imageFilename&quot;:&quot;img-1007.jpg&quot;,&quot;imageDateCreated&quot;:&quot;2024\u002F03\u002F12&quot;,&quot;imageWidth&quot;:6000,&quot;imageHeight&quot;:4000,&quot;imageParallax&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageCrop&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;imageEnlarge&quot;:false}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"Kayla Solino\u002FZDNET\" data-merchantoffers=\"[{&quot;useMonetization&quot;:true,&quot;monetizedUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fshareasale.com\u002Fr.cfm?b=1391923&amp;u=514792&amp;m=90301&amp;afftrack=subid_value&amp;urllink=www.moft.us%2Fproducts%2Fmoft-snap-on-phone-stand-wallet-magsafe-compatible%3F&quot;,&quot;offerMerchant&quot;:&quot;Moft&quot;,&quot;offerPrice&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerPriceRange&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerPriceText&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;offerType&quot;:&quot;Single Product&quot;,&quot;monetizationStatus&quot;:&quot;on&quot;,&quot;rawUrl&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fwww.moft.us\u002Fproducts\u002Fmoft-snap-on-phone-stand-wallet-magsafe-compatible?&quot;,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https:\u002F\u002Fshareasale.com\u002Fr.cfm?b=1391923&amp;u=514792&amp;m=90301&amp;afftrack=subid_value&amp;urllink=www.moft.us%2Fproducts%2Fmoft-snap-on-phone-stand-wallet-magsafe-compatible%3F&quot;}]\" data-usepricing=\"true\" data-like=\"~ Slim ~ Great for those needing small capacity options ~ Great color options ~ Fairly priced\" data-dislike=\"~ Small capacity ~ Hard to dislodge certain cards\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"15c22164-f19e-43ce-b313-db03d8491c51\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003EJason Cipriani, a former ZDNET contributor, has been using the non-pro version of Twelve South's HiRise for MacBook for about a year with no complaints.

MagSafe accessories can be really handy and helpful, but only if they're within your budget or worth the long-term investment. Otherwise, they may be an unnecessary expense or something that winds up sitting in a drawer for several years before being tossed out. Try to keep a reasonable budget for yourself when shopping, and remember that the best products aren't always the most expensive items on the market, and it's always a good idea to check out sale events.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EUse case: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003EThis ties into the bullet above, but keeping your use case in mind while shopping for MagSafe gear is critical to avoid buying junk that you throw out or give away down the line. For something to be worth the money you spend on it, it has to bring added value and fix a current problem you're experiencing with your phone. If you only need a card holder to store your transit card, you don't necessarily need to splash out on a pricier wallet option that holds more cards and cash.

You have essential items like cases and chargers, as well as nonessential add-ons like grips, stands, mounts, and more. The beauty of accessorizing is you can take it as little or as far as you'd like and spend as little or as much as you're comfortable with. While most accessories remain under the $100 mark, there are several items like MagSafe charging stations that can easily push over that limit. We made sure to consider numerous types of accessories across varying price points and their overall value compared to what you'll pay. We think every item on this list is worth the money if it's the type of product you're looking for, but ultimately, the total cost spent on accessorizing with MagSafe is up to you.&amp;nbsp;\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003Cli\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBest List picks:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E&amp;nbsp;The accessory options included in this list are certainly not the only options available on the market and are definitely not the only MagSafe accessories that we've tried.
