I tested 100+ phone accessories in the last year and these are my favorite early Prime Day deals — MagSafe wallets, power banks, chargers, and more

I can't tell you enough how this portable fan helps to keep me cool right now during the summer. What makes the DiveBlues Fanzy unlike other portable fans I've tested is its foldable design, which doesn't allow it to act like a desk fan when I'm at work, but I can also put it around my neck with the included lanyard for a hands-free way of staying cool. Use discount code H26PVT4B at checkout to drop the price down to $12.

When I'm in my car shooting videos for my next EV review, I always use the Lisen Suction Cup Phone mount because it's incredibly versatile. I'm talking about the ability to quickly remove it from one surface to another, while its MagSafe mount makes it really convenient to change the angle of my phone whenever I'm shooting video. And of course, it's great at keeping my phone steady while giving me driving directions.

Popsockets are something I religiously use with all of my phones, mainly because it makes holding onto them way easier. With this particular PopSockets, I really like that it has the suction cups on it, so that I can stick it onto smooth surfaces. It's perfect for TikTokers who don't want to deal with clumsy tripods when they want to shoot video. Just stick it somewhere and start recording.

I stopped carrying a traditional wallet years ago thanks to phone case wallets like the ESR Geo for MagSafe Wallet. In addition to saving me space in my pocket since it snaps to the back of my phone, it also features Apple's Find My functionality that lets me keep track of its location in the event I lose or misplace it. The only downside is that it uses a proprietary charger, but a full battery charge lasts about six months.

Sure, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is the only phone that has a built-in privacy screen, but this Zagg privacy screen protector does the same thing for iPhones. I love being able to use my iPhone 17 Pro freely in tight spaces, like the subway, without people nearby seeing what I'm doing. Plus, it protects my screen in the event I dropped it. I've had one for nearly 9 months now and it's still going strong.

The AirTag 2 might be the most findable tracker around, but I would still recommend checking out the Pebblebee Clip 5. That's because it has one ingenious feature that the AirTag doesn't have: an emergency help response feature. When activated, it will send an alert out to people whom I've set up to be included. I actually gave one to my dad so that in a worst case scenario, he can notify us if he needs help.

I usually carry a power bank with me and the one that's currently in my backpack is the Lisen Qi2.2 MagSafe Battery Pack. This 10,000 mAh battery has more than enough juice to give me close to two chargers, but its 25W MagSafe charging speed makes it faster than the previous 20W and 15W chargers I've tested. Better yet, I love how it ingeniously integrates a USB-C charging cable into its lanyard.

I've used the iSteady V3 before and this Hohem iSteady X3 gimbal is very similar if you're looking to get smooth and stabilized video footage with your phone. The cool thing about this phone gimbal is that it comes with an integrated camera that automatically lets me track subjects, while the detachable LED light makes sure my face is perfectly lit no matter the situation.

As much as I love shooting with my phone, there are times when it's just not suitable. That's why I keep the GoPro LIT Hero attached to my keychain, so I can record video with unique perspectives without worry about damage or shakiness. I use this ultra-compact action camera for many of my car videos, including when the road conditions get bumpy.

One of the most helpful phones accessories I've been testing is the Thermal Master P4, which lets me see heat signatures directly on my phone. It's great for projects around my home, or when I'm outside in the dark to see if there are critters around. Right now for Prime Day, you can save an additional 10% off at checkout using the code THERMALBF10 to bring its price down to $269.
