The Best Phone Accessories of 2018

It's 2018, so let's just put it out there: everyone you know has a PopSocket on their phone. So stand out from the crowd with the ultimate luxury in phone accessories: Swarovski Crystal PopSockets ($50). Since putting this glittery, sexy addition on my phone, the compliments have been endless — and, I'll be honest, it makes me feel a little more jazzed about reading those pesky emails that always seem to pile up.

When I recently learned about the Belkin Valet Charge Dock for Apple Watch + iPhone ($129), my first reaction was to shout at nobody in particular for never telling me that such a miraculous device was in existence. My second reaction, naturally, was to gather up all the cords that were strangling the head of my bed and embrace this super-sexy all-in-one charger (and never, ever look back.)

There are few things quite as satisfying in life as popping your phone onto the BOOST Up Wireless Charging Pad ($47) and watching it rocket to full charge — plus, it serves as a handy reminder of the fact that we literally live in the future, and technology is awesome.

My default portable charger is the Pocket Power 10K Power Bank
($39) — it lets me charge any device I've got with me in a heartbeat, and is one of the most durable portable powerpacks on the market right now.

The best 360-degree camera out there is the Insta360 One ($329). I never leave home to go to an event or to see family without it, it's just that good.

Never, ever have have to choose between charging your phone and rocking out to your tunes ever again with the Audio + Charge Rockstar ($39), a convenient little plug that turns one lightning port into two without ever having to give it a second thought.

Who says you can't have style and functionality? With the iON Wireless Plus Fast Charging Pad ($54), you get an ultra-cute fabric charger and a fully-charged phone — all without the hassle of having to plug anything in. As far as we're concerned, that's a major win-win.
