The Best Prime Day Deals on Phone Accessories Won’t Last After Tonight

Just bought a new phone or looking to enhance an existing one? Prime Day is the time to save on accessories like batteries, chargers, and more.

Phones are so good these days that there’s little reason to upgrade every year. In fact, the best Android smartphones and iPhones will last up to seven years, if not more. What needs refreshing are accessories. Amazon Prime Day is a good time to stock up on accessories to give your phone and other mobile devices a new lease on life. But don’t wait: Prices go up after tonight once the sale ends.

Note that from our research, prices on electronics have gone up across the board, and we aren’t seeing deals as good as we have in the past (we’ve pointed those out wherever we can). Still, a sale is a sale, and if you need something, it’s a good time to buy it. Here are some of our recommended products that are on sale right now.

For more Prime Day deals, check out our coverage on the Absolute Best Prime Day Deals, Best Prime Day Headphone Deals, Best Prime Day Deals Under $50, or our Prime Day Deals Live Tracker.

Updated 5:22pm ET October 7: I’ve added additional accessories, including cables and wallets. I’ve also ensured prices are accurate and deals are still live.

Best Deals on Portable Batteries

Anker

MagGo Power Bank (10K) (Qi2)

WIRED’s pick for the best MagSafe portable charger is on sale during Prime Day, but unfortunately, the discount has been fluctuating, and right now, it isn’t the lowest we’ve seen. Still, it’s one of Anker’s newer batteries, and offers a lot that we like, including Qi2 and MagSafe support, a built-in stand, and a status display.

Laptop Power Bank

This power bank might be overkill, but if you’re looking to recharge multiple devices—including a laptop—this is our favorite option. It’s not the lowest price we’ve seen, but it’s a little lower than average, especially for a 25,000-mAh battery that supports up to 165 watts.

Nano Power Bank With Instacord

A portable power bank is just one part of the solution; you still need a cable. This 10,000-mAh battery has a built-in retractable USB-C cord and can fast-charge phones and tablets up to 45 watts.

Anker

Nano Power Bank

This 5,000-mAh small battery is perfect for a night on the town or if you want to keep things minimal. It has enough juice for a full charge, and it plugs directly into any USB-C device.

Nimble

Champ (Series 2)

This is WIRED’s pick for the best small power bank. With a size comparable to a deck of cards, this is for those who like to pack light but need to charge multiple devices. It has a 10,000-mAh capacity, but the 20-watt charging speed is slower than some larger power banks.

Jisulife

Handheld Mini Fan

When you’re vacationing somewhere hot, this fan helps you stay cool. Great for kids, it also doubles as a portable battery to keep devices juiced up when in a pinch.

Best Deals on Chargers

Belkin

3-in-1 Qi2 Charging Stand

WIRED’s overall recommendation for the best 3-in-1 Apple wireless charger is also what I personally use on my nightstand. Before I snooze, I place my iPhone on the MagSafe charger, Apple Watch on the dedicated charger, and AirPods Pro on the Qi2-compatible base. It’s matching its lowest price ever ($63) on Amazon this Prime Day.

Twelve South

HiRise 3 Deluxe

The HiRise 3 is an elegant stand for charging an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods or another compatible device that supports wireless charging. You can place your phone in landscape orientation to activate StandBy mode, which turns the iPhone into a bedside clock and info display. It’s not the cheapest we’ve seen ($5 more than the last lowest price), but Twelve South makes excellent, high-quality accessories.

Belkin

UltraCharge 2-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Wireless Charger (Qi2 25W)

This charger supports only two devices, but its strength is its 25-watt Qi2 pad, which enables faster wireless charging. It’s the cheapest we’ve seen anywhere.

MagGo UFO 3-in-1 Qi2 Charger

Our pick for the smallest travel charger, this one small accessory recharges a phone (via MagSafe), a Qi2-compatible accessory, and an Apple Watch. For minimalist travel, this charger streamlines the tech you need to bring. At $60 ($30 off), it’s the lowest price on Amazon ever.

Apple

MagSafe Charger (2 m)

MagSafe is a great feature for fast-charging an iPhone (30-watt adapter required, not included). It also works with newer Google Pixel phones with Pixelsnap.

MagGo 3-in-1 Charging Station (Qi2)

Another travel charger we recommend, this 15-watt three-in-one (iPhone or Qi2-certified phone with magnetic mounting, Qi2 accessory, and Apple Watch) has a wide base that doubles as a stand. You’re getting it at its lowest price ($76) during this sale.

Ceptics

6 in 1 Worldwide Travel Adapter

This is WIRED’s favorite budget travel adapter. It’s compatible with outlets in more than 150 countries and has four USB-C and USB-A ports for small devices. The USB ports support a total output of only 30 watts, so you’ll need to plug a laptop into the AC outlet.

Best Deals on Cables

Anker

Prime USB-C to USB-C Cable

When max speed is what matters, Anker’s Prime USB-C to USB-C cable is our top pick. We especially like the rugged nylon exterior made from recycled plastic.

Satechi

Thunderbolt 5 Pro

This cable is overkill for most people, but if you want one cord that works with nearly all USB devices, make it this one. It’s our upgrade pick from our USB cable guide, and it’s compatible with iPhone Pro models that support USB 3 to the Thunderbolt 5-enabled Mac Studio.

Baseus

USB-C Cable With LED Display

This cable has a party trick: it displays the amount of power being sent to a device. This helps you tell whether it’s fast-charging properly.

Retractable USB-C Cable

Retractable cables are fun to play with, but they’re also great for keeping things tidy or for traveling light.

Best Deals on Bluetooth Trackers

WIRED’s overall Bluetooth tracker recommendation is not Tile or AirTag, but Chipolo. Part of a series of trackers, they work well with both Apple- and Google-powered devices. They come in a variety of sizes, like the card here that slips inside a wallet or bag. It’s not a deep discount, but it’s the lowest we’ve seen on Prime Day.

While not part of the Prime Day sale, the Apple AirTag is often on sale. Sure, it’s only $5, but that’s more than what Apple ever offers (which is zero). It’s the best Bluetooth tracker for Apple users. The four-pack is also on sale.

UAG

Metropolis Kevlar MagSafe Wallet

Our overall recommendation for the best MagSafe wallet is this one made out of Kevlar. UAG is known for rugged tech accessories, so this is designed to be tough. It also conveniently doubles as a stand.

Moft

Snap Invisible Phone Tripod Wallet

One of our favorite wallets comes from Moft, an accessories maker known for fun and innovative designs. Besides a tripod, we like that it has Apple’s Find My built in, because if you lose a wallet, it makes sense you’d want to track it.

Smartish

Side Hustle Wallet

The Side Hustle is our pick for the easiest MagSafe wallet thanks to its simple but genius design. Just push out the cards through the opening on the side, and presto, instant access.

Bandolier

Remi Crossbody Phone Case

Who knew Bandolier’s crossbody phone cases would become such a hit? Many people don’t like carrying their phones in their bags or pockets, and this case gives them instant access. Available for the iPhone 16 to the new iPhone 18, it’s our favorite crossbody phone case.

Backbone

One

Smartphones make great gaming consoles, but sometimes, you need old-school controls. The Backbone One, one of our favorite controllers, is on sale. Slot an Android or iPhone (USB-C) in between the grips, and you’re ready to play triple-A games.

Moft

Snap Duo Watch Band

Apple makes pretty good bands for its watches, but our favorite silicone option is from Moft. We love how easy it is to snap onto the wrist (hence the name), and it’s at its lowest price ever on Amazon.

SanDisk

Creator Phone SSD

SSD prices have skyrocketed, affecting everything from NVMe to microSD storage. But if you need an external drive to offload the photos and videos from your phone, this reliable drive is on sale for $60 off.

ShiftCam

SnapPocket Light

For the best selfies, the secret is to use the rear camera, which offers better resolution than the actual selfie camera. Another tip: You need lightning. This LED light with a mirror handles both.
