I am always looking for ultra-slim accessories that complement my everyday carry, and I have usually been drawn to how slim tech companies and brands can make their products. Accessories that have excess bulk or lack organization, I tend to avoid. So, I have tested countless accessories, ranging from power banks to stands to magnetic cables and everything in between. So I wanted to share some of my absolute favorite accessories that are not only ultra slim and portable but also serve multiple purposes.
This is my most recent addition to my EDC, and it has been great. T he Snap Grip Stand is made by the same company that created the original Popsocket. It is insane how much they were able to do with something as thin as this. It’s basically the thickness of the iPhone’s camera plateau. This was the first charger to release that perfectly matches the Cosmic Orange iPhone ! This is where things get more interesting. I am a big believer in ultra-compact and thin MagSafe battery packs. As of right now, the thinnest and lightest MagSafe power bank is the SolidSafe Air . You get: I have three of these batteries, and I always bring one with me wherever I go. They are lightweight, look and feel premium, and come in some cool colors.
Here are the key features: The Kuxiu X40 Turbo is available on Kuxiu’s site for $78 and comes in five finishes: Grey, Black, Wood, Orange, and Cherry. For $78, you get the charger, a braided cable, a 45W charging brick, and the carrying case. There is a time and place for larger magsafe batteries, but if you need to charge your phone while actively using it, I would rather have a battery with less capacity so I can still get some extra juice to my phone without turning it into a 2-pound brick in my hand. My iPhone 17 Pro battery life no longer gets me through a single day of use, so having one of these batteries is essential in my day-to-day.
Because it’s so thin, it actually eliminates the table wobble when you place your phone down, and one last cool feature is that. I still have no idea how they were able to pack this much versatility into a single stand this thin and light, but it is now a stable accessory I leave on my iPhone . It’s so thin that you can still wirelessly charge your phone with the accessory on!
This is such an easy product to recommend for any iPhone user. You can also bundle and get a two or three-pack to save some money. My only request for the next one is to replace the LED light indicators with a small display, as long as it does not increase the thickness! This is a fun one for iPhone photographers or anyone who likes to be well-lit without carrying anything bulky. The SnapPocket is a small, compact light ring that magnetically snaps onto the back of your phone. It can also flip around so you can get that awesome lighting while using the front-facing camera. You get:
The Snap Grip Stand is available on their website for $39.99 and comes in four colors: Black, Green, Lilac, and Silver. They also offer just the grip portion for $29.99 and come in 18 colors (too many for me to list). The SolidSafe Air 5K is available on BMX’s site for $59 and comes in three colors: Black, Silver, and Gold.
