Best Cyber Monday Smartphone Accessory Deals

By Simon Hill Updated November 26, 2018

We take our smartphones everywhere and use them all day and into the night — they’re regular workhorses, and they deserve some pampering and some protection. It pays to safeguard them properly by picking a good case and checking out screen protectors, because allowing them to pick up chips and scratches is no way to treat a faithful phone. It’s also a good idea to buy some extra charging accessories to keep the battery topped up, and maybe a stand or mount for your car, desk, or nightstand.

Smartphone accessories can also make great gifts or even stocking stuffers. Whether you’re seeking rugged iPhone cases or on the hunt for the best wireless phone chargers, no-one wants to spend more money than is necessary.

However, it’s definitely a jungle out there, and that’s why we’ve done the research for you, poring over offers and searching every nook and cranny of the web, to bring you the very best Cyber Monday smartphone accessory deals.

What’s the deal with the Astro Slide 5G hybrid phone?

Astro Slide 5G being held as a laptop/smartphone hybrid with a physical keyboard.

Smartphones as we know them killed physical keyboards on mobile phones over a decade ago. No one carries a flip phone, Sidekick, or BlackBerry anymore because the iPhone and Samsung Galaxy smartphones have eliminated the need for us to type on the bulky keypads in order to send an email or text message to somebody. More often than not, people had a hard time typing out messages because the keys were either too small for their fingers or, if they had a flip phone, they had to press the same key more than once to get the correct letters.

It seems like a lifetime ago since we carried phones with physical keyboards. Now there's a passionate community of retro technology geeks working to resurrect those devices in the form of a laptop/smartphone hybrid called the Astro Slide 5G. It's the first 5G transformer smartphone made courtesy of U.K.-based phone developer Planet Computers, and it's currently up for pre-order, with deliveries expected to go out in April.

The best MagSafe accessories for your iPhone in 2022

iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro

Apple introduced the MagSafe charging system as part of the iPhone 12 lineup. Now users can attach accessories to a device without using cables, thanks to the cluster of magnets built into its back. If you are in the market for first-party MagSafe accessories, you will come across two broad categories: MagSafe chargers and MagSafe-enabled cases and mounts.
Other MagSafe accessories like MagSafe cases and mounts may or may not be made by Apple but work well with iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models. Third-party sellers often market their products as “MagSafe-compatible,” but these accessories can’t match the power and functionality of original Apple products. For instance, the official MagSafe charger from Apple offers 12- to 15-watt charging, but most MagSafe-compatible chargers are just 7.5W Qi chargers with magnets attached.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t buy third-party accessories. Many of these products can be quite helpful and affordable. Plus, they are mostly safe for your phone and get the job done, offering you a decent if not a good return on your investment.
Confused about where to start? We have compiled a list of the best MagSafe accessories you can buy to use with your iPhone in 2022.
Apple MagSafe Charger

The official MagSafe Charger from Apple is your best bet for fast, reliable charging. The proprietary technology ensures the magnets align perfectly for efficient charging. The best part? It supports Qi charging so you can use it to charge your iPhone 8 and newer devices. However, keep in mind that the increased charging speeds up to 15 watts work only with iPhone 12 and 13 ranges for now. Obviously, the exact charging speed will vary based on your adapter and other conditions, but official MagSafe chargers tend to offer much higher charging speeds compared to the typical wireless charger.
