There’s nothing worse than getting somewhere and realizing you don’t have your wallet or money, and you have to go back. Or maybe you’re just tired of having your wallet on your keychain and it being bulky. This phone case doubles as your wallet, with three different sections so you can keep your IDs, cards, and cash separated. This is especially great if you have an ID card you need to scan to get into buildings at school or work because you can just pull your phone out and scan it. This tech accessory will make it easier for you to just run out the door since you won’t have to track down your wallet anymore.

If your smart phone is new enough, odds are you can use a wireless charger. Plug this in on your desk or your nightstand and give your phone a home in your dorm or apartment. Every time you put your phone on it, it’ll automatically charge, making it easier for you to remember to charge your phone and helping you avoid having your phone die before you’re done with your day. This one is also just super cute! And this one’s way less likely to break than a charging cord. Having a landing spot in your home or dorm for your phone can also help you reduce the amount of time you spend on it. If you always leave it on the charging pad when you’re not using it, you’ll probably check it less often! And no doubt you’ll feel pretty futuristic when all you have to do is place your phone on this pad to get it to charge.

If you’re constantly using your laptop or tablet, you might consider getting a pair of blue light glasses.

Plus, reducing the amount of blue light you see before bed can help you get better sleep. If you find that your eyes or head hurt after doing work on your computer, you might want to get a pair of these glasses and see if that helps!

This way you only have to carry one pair of headphones around if you want to use your computer and your iPhone, and you don’t have to worry about remembering your dongle. As long as you have your keys, you’re set!

It’s gross to think about how much time we spend on our computers, tablets, phones, and other devices, and how rarely we clean them. You can’t use just any cleaner on your tech because it might damage them. Use this screen cleaning spray to keep everything clean and sanitary and make your screens nice and clear. When you notice you have a lot of dirt building up on your keyboard or your phone feels especially grimy, pull out this cleaner and get to work! The touch function of your phone or tablet will probably work better, too, if you get all that oil and grime off them!

This tech accessory is sure to come in handy when you’re traveling or just carrying your charger on the go!
