Promising review: "This is the coolest thing I've ever bought! These lenses make taking pictures on your iPhone so extraordinary, especially for those who can't afford and HDSLR camera. For such a low price, I couldn't be more impressed with the quality. The lenses come with a tiny bag that doubles as a cleaning rag, and once you get used to fixing it onto your camera, it's very user-friendly." —Amazon Customer

My husband and I have our Google Nest Home Hub on a coffee table by the front door. We have it set to scroll through our favorite family photos. Not only does it keep us in check schedule-wise, but it also feels like home decor.
Promising review: "We've had the Google Home Hub for about a month now. It's not magical but it's perfect for the few things for which we use it. Time display — check. Weather display — check. Weather forecast — check. Voice control of various lights and light groups — check. Music stations on demand — check. The sound is great. The screen is great. The size is perfect. Nice job Google" —GlobalExplorer

I'm a recent PopSocket convert and honestly I'm not sure why I waited so long to add one to my phone! It's ridiculously easy to stick on, it's fun to fidget with, and it works great as a stand for when I'm FaceTiming my parents. If I had one of these while I was a student it definitely would've helped me text more discreetly during class (DON'T DO THAT, KIDS!).

Cute cats not your thing? Check out one of these other PopSocket styles.
Promising review: "I was surprised by how great of quality this product is. I've had many power banks, most of which have been well known brands and this one is by far the best. The design is also really fun and makes you want to carry it around everywhere you go. It takes a bit longer to charge your phone than a wall port may. That said the power bank itself has a very long lasting charge and can go quite a while without having to be recharged. The cats in space print is extremely adorable and creative :)" —Daisy

Promising review: "I've received many compliments and questions about my new little phone friend and it's a simple way to add something fun onto something I use every day in the first place. My main worry before purchasing this was that it would snag on other items or even fall out easily but I've run into no such problem after several weeks, so it's safe to say my fear has been disproved." —ANG

Promising review: "Ordered this product for college thinking it would be a great thing to have if I ever want to share music or a video with my roommate or friends. All three ports work fine and the product even arrived to me early! Love the product and the company recommend this product to all if sharing music with others is on your to-do list" —Jasmine

Promising review: "I got this for my office to charge both my phone and anyone else who wants to charge theirs. It works amazingly! The tower shape makes it easy to put on the counter and the cord makes it not take up any space on the power splitter. I've been using it for a week so far and no complaints!" —ATL Gadget Girl

Promising review: "I saw cable bites advertised elsewhere but you can’t beat Amazon’s price. Super cute and a ton of collections to choose from. Multifunctional: helps to find your cable/cord easier and protects against fraying. They fit on both my smooth and threaded off-market phone cables as well as the name brand cables such as iPhone and AmazonBasics. Wish I saw these ages ago!" —featherlashes
Get a set of four from Amazon for $5.99+ (available in packs of 4, 6, 9 or 12 and in a variety of styles).
Promising review: "I’m overwhelmingly happy with these headphones. While I was hesitant to spend so much on headphones to begin with, I do think it was money well spent. I’m not anything close to a music quality expert, but the sound quality for me has been excellent, not only for music, but also for podcasts. I’m not noticing any kind of lag when using the headphones to watch videos online and I also haven’t had any connectivity problems. The bluetooth connection is strong, even with several doors are closed between the headphones and my phone." —Audrey K.

Promising review: "I really love it! I have a 5-year-old daughter who loves music and dance, so when I saw this small (it’s palm-sized), pink, cute mini speaker it was a no-brainer! I just got it last week but we have used it each day! So far, so good, we are really happy! I was amazed at the quality of sound coming out of the little thing. It belts out music like a full stereo. Decent bass power, highs and mids both still sound clear and smooth; quite balanced for all types of music. Easy to pair and charge. The battery works great and it lasts for hours exactly as advertised, even better! I can play and charge at the same time." —Angela McCoy

Promising review: "Elago Design's motto is 'Simple Sophistication,' and that describes this product perfectly. I had tried several stands for various cell phones, and they were all a less than perfect solution. As a last resort, I bought the elago M3 stand, and it's perfect. All of my other purchases had a similar saw-horse design, But elago's stand design is unique —a 'U' shaped piece of brushed metal heavy enough to keep it stable. The cradle is a solid piece of very nice wood with a perfect sized cut-out generous enough even for a USB3 connector. I love it." —Richard W.

Promising review: "I'm new to mech keyboards, so I don't know a lot about them. What I do know is that it feels solid and looks great. Some others have mentioned the magnetic feet being an issue, but I haven't experienced that and I frequently use it for gaming. Never thought I'd make much use of the RGB, but I'm into it." —B3NNN

Promising review: "Works great with my iPhone SE. Very accurate with few hiccups. Moves smoothly and I love the color. The case that it came in is a simple metal one that is not very durable so be careful with it. It also had a pocket sleeve for protection when carrying it in your pocket, purse etc." —Teresa Williams

This lil' gadget is compatible with phones, tablets, and the Nintendo Switch. So, no matter how you choose to relax after a busy day, it'll support you!
Promising review: "This is exactly what I was looking for. I had been wanting to play my Nintendo Switch in bed without having to hold up the entire console. This mount allows me to have the screen hover above my head while my arms and neck can relax. This is the ultimate in laziness and I love it. :)" —Michael K.

I have these earbuds in pink and I love them. I love that they're compact but really functional and feature an ergonomic fit that doesn't irritate the insides of my ears. They automatically connect and you can stop/start your music with a little tap while they're still in your ears. They connect magnetically into the charging ports, so you can rest easy knowing they're secure and you won't lose them. I've been hesitant to *cut the cord* on my headphones but thanks to these I'm actually glad I did.

Promising review: "I have recommended this product to quite a few people already. I bought this in June and the elastic is still just as springy as it was new. I keep four cards in it with a metal plate to attach to my magnetic car mount and that's pretty much the capacity. It retains the cards well and has never once even come close to having one of them slip out by accident. The adhesive backing must be made out of superglue. I have a Lifeproof case on my phone and regularly go kayaking, four-wheeling, and other rough-and-tumble activities and it hasn't peeled or anything. I will be buying another one when I get a new phone. It's also VERY nice not having to carry my wallet anymore. I have noticed a large relief to some minor but regular back pain since I got rid of the wallet. I couldn't ask for more." —AmazonCustomer82

Sorry, Mom.
Promising review: "This was purchased as a going-away gift for a treasured team member who is relocating. It could not be more perfect! The tote is high-quality, made well, and being reversible is a bonus. The charging unit is the same high-quality leather zippered pouch that can be removed easily for charging. It is roomy enough for a small laptop, file folders, purse, and possibly an extra pair of shoes. I shared this with many of my friends prior to wrapping and all of us are hoping Santa considers this for us in a few months!" —Terri

I have one of these bad boys and can validate that it is SO easy to use. I pop my phone into it when I get in the shower and click the lil' button on the front to start the cleaning process. You can also charge your phone while it's inside the machine. Fellow germaphobes — you can thank me later.
Promising review: "Bought this along with a set of agar plates to test it for ourselves. We swabbed my daughter's and husband's phones before and after use. It does work. We are very happy with the product." —Ginger
