Accessory Reviews - The Verge

Picking up a few accessories helps your tech feel more like your own and can help it last longer, too. While slapping a phone case on your new smartphone might feel like an offense, you’ll probably be happy you did it. And as more smartphones adopt wireless charging, and ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack in favor of proprietary Lightning or USB-C adapters, we’ve committed to finding the best accessories to make your life easier with these changes.

Goodbye to Apple’s Smart Keyboard Folio, the best iPad Pro accessory

It’s versatile, doesn’t weigh much, and no one else makes anything quite like it for the iPad Pro. Hopefully it’s not gone for good.

BioLite BaseCharge 1500 solar generator review within a review.

My recent live/work experiment in the all-electric VW ID Buzz wouldn’t have been possible without BioLite’s first portable battery and solar panel. It was needed to provide continuous power to my Starlink internet, laptops, phones, and more because the Microbus can’t when parked. The BaseCharge 1500 has some minor quirks, but if it’s specced and priced right for your needs then it’s worth considering.
