Accessories
Protection is what this site knows best, but a device needs more than protecting. These are the accessories worth owning, organised so you can find the one cut for your exact model rather than wading through a thousand near-identical listings.
Protection extras
Lens protectors, grips and the kit that gets a protector on straight.
Camera Lens Protectors
The camera housing now protrudes further than any other part of a phone — and it lands first.
See options →Grips, Straps & Lanyards
The cheapest protection there is, stopping the drop instead of surviving it.
See options →Fitting & Cleaning Kits
Dust is what ruins a fitting, and a decent kit is what removes it.
See options →Waterproof Pouches
For the beach, the kayak and the building site — where an IP rating isn't enough.
See options →Charging & power
Cables, chargers and power banks, where the specification actually matters.
Charging Cables
The accessory most people buy wrong, because the connector tells you almost nothing.
See options →Wall Chargers
GaN made chargers half the size for the same power. There's little reason to buy anything else now.
See options →Wireless Chargers
Qi2 finally brought magnetic alignment to Android. Alignment is the whole game.
See options →Power Banks
Capacity is the number everyone reads and the one that misleads most.
See options →Car Chargers
Navigation with the screen at full brightness drains faster than a slow charger fills.
See options →Stands & mounts
Desk, car, bike and tripod mounting.
Desk Stands
A stand puts the screen where your eyes are, which matters more than it sounds.
See options →Car Mounts
Holding a phone while driving is illegal in the UK. A mount is the cheapest way to stop.
See options →Bike & Motorcycle Mounts
Handlebar vibration has destroyed a lot of phone cameras. The good mounts damp it.
See options →Tripods & Gimbals
Phone cameras outgrew handheld a while ago. A support is the cheapest quality upgrade left.
See options →Audio
Earbuds, headphones and the adapters modern phones need.
Wireless Earbuds
Noise cancelling and fit decide this, and fit is the one nobody checks.
See options →Over-Ear Headphones
Better noise cancelling and far better battery than earbuds, at the cost of carrying them.
See options →Headphone Adapters
Not all adapters contain a DAC, and the ones that don't won't work on many phones.
See options →Watch bands
Straps and bands, sized to the exact watch case.
