I am always looking for ultra-slim accessories that complement my everyday carry, and I have usually been drawn to how slim tech companies and brands can make their products. Accessories that have excess bulk or lack organization, I tend to avoid. So, I have tested countless accessories, ranging from power banks to stands to magnetic cables and everything in between. So I wanted to share some of my absolute favorite accessories that are not only ultra slim and portable but also serve multiple purposes. Be sure to check out our hands-on video featuring all the devices mentioned and more. The video covers 11 compact, slim accessories worth checking out! This is my most recent addition to my EDC, and it has been great. The Snap Grip Stand is made by the same company that created the original Popsocket. It is insane how much they were able to do with something as thin as this. It’s basically the thickness of the iPhone’s camera plateau. Here are the key features: I still have no idea how they were able to pack this much versatility into a single stand this thin and light, but it is now a stable accessory I leave on my iPhone. It’s so thin that you can still wirelessly charge your phone with the accessory on! And one last cool feature is that because it’s so thin, it actually eliminates the table wobble when you place your phone down! The Snap Grip Stand is available on their website for $39.99 and comes in four colors: Black, Green, Lilac, and Silver. They also offer just the grip portion for $29.99 and come in 18 colors (too many for me to list). This is such an easy product to recommend for any iPhone user. This one is an all-time favorite of mine. On the surface, it’s just another 3-in-1 charger for your Apple goodies, but the build quality, versatility, and price-to-performance are what really set this one apart. You get: This thing is extremely compact, thin, and light. The Kuxiu X40 Turbo can be used folded to charge just your iPhone, unfolded to act as a 3-in-1 charging stand, or fully unfolded to lie flat. It is 18mm at its thinnest point and fits in the palm of your hand when folded. The best part is that it includes the 45W charging brick needed to support the 25W fast charging, and it even brings a hard shell carrying case for everything. This is such an underrated device. The Kuxiu X40 Turbo is available on Kuxiu’s site for $78 and comes in five finishes: Grey, Black, Wood, Orange, and Cherry. This was the first charger to release that perfectly matches the Cosmic Orange iPhone! For $78, you get the charger, a braided cable, a 45W charging brick, and the carrying case. This is where things get more interesting. I am a big believer in ultra-compact and thin MagSafe battery packs. There is a time and place for larger magsafe batteries, but if you need to charge your phone while actively using it, I would rather have a battery with less capacity so I can still get some extra juice to my phone without turning it into a 2-pound brick in my hand. As of right now, the thinnest and lightest MagSafe power bank is the SolidSafe Air. You get: I have three of these batteries, and I always bring one with me wherever I go. My iPhone 17 Pro battery life no longer gets me through a single day of use, so having one of these batteries is essential in my day-to-day. They are lightweight, look and feel premium, and come in some cool colors.
