CNET's favorite Magsafe accessories 

Burga MagSafe chargers: $80 (save $20) See at Burga

I personally can't go anywhere with my Burga Magsafe charger. The charger lasts me a long time and doesn't take long to reup. But more than that, I love how customizable it is. There are over 300 designs you can pick from. There are fancy prints, fun quotes, solid colors and so much more. You can also chose the capacity of the charger: 5,000 mAh, 10,000 mAh or 15,000 mAh. It's a little pricey, but right now you can save $20 on a durable charger. Plus, it has a strong N52 magnet, so there's no chance of it popping off. If you have two devices to charge, it can support that as well. Simply use the Magsafe feature for the first device and a wire for the second. And at just over 5 ounces, it's not heavy or bulky at all. 

Anker Prime MagSafe 3-in-1 charging station: $172 (save $58) $173 at Amazon

CNET's Senior Analyst, Jeffrey Mizrahi, recently upgraded to this Anker Prime MagSafe three-in-one charging station, which he says has a premium feel. He especially loves the metal bars that give devices space. The screen is especially cool as you can see how fast the charging speeds are in real time. And if you're going to bed and want to be in darkness, you can simply turn the screen off. You can charge up to three devices with this station, including your Apple Watch and AirPods along with your iPhone via Magsafe. It uses TEC active cooling to prevent any overheating. You can even pick from sleep mode, ice mode or boost mode depending on what you're up to and how fast you need your devices charged. 

OneTop Magsafe wallet case with card holder: $20 $20 at Amazon

CNET Writer Amber Guetebier recently got her hands on this iPhone 17 OneTop Magsafe wallet case with card holder, and she loves that it's truly an all-in-one accessory. It has two card slots along with an ID slot. There's even room to fit cash in here. It supports both Magsafe and Qi wireless charging. If you have a wireless charger, this case will be compatible with it. You get a case, wallet and charger all in one. The case is also made with RFID blocking material to ensure the safety of your cards. And it doubles as a stand to prop your phone up. The case is all-around shockproof, so if you're a little clumsy (like me) this case will keep your phone protected. 

Ulanzi MA30 Magsafe tripod phone stand: $24 (save $6) $20 at Amazon

CNET's Social Producer, Faith Chihil, recommends her Ulanzi MA30 Magsafe tripod phone stand. Faith says this stand is helpful for situations where she wants to record a video on a table or from an angle and still use both hands. It's also great for propping a phone up for hands-free viewing or video chatting. I love that it's foldable and fits in your pocket. Faith takes hers everywhere, clipping it onto her backpack or purse. It's less than 1 mm thick, so it won't feel bulky on your phone. It can even double as a selfie stick if that's something you're looking for.
