Phone and Laptop Accessories: 8 Useful Ideas for Cases, Stands and Sleeves
Our phones go everywhere with us, so it makes sense to protect them and make them more useful. A good case, a stand and a few small accessories can save you from a cracked screen, make video calls easier and give your phone a bit of personality. This guide shares 8 phone and laptop accessory ideas that are practical and pretty.
How to choose a phone case
Start with the right model. A case made for a different phone will not fit. Then think about how you use your phone. A slim case keeps the phone light, while a tough case protects against drops. A magnetic case works well with wireless chargers and stands. Finally, choose a design you enjoy, since you will see it every day.
1. A magnetic phone case
A magnetic case holds firmly to chargers, car mounts and stands. The Wake Up With Purpose magnetic phone case is a calm, motivating reminder at the start of the day. Check that your phone model is listed before you order.
2. A slim case for everyday use
If you prefer a light, close fit, a slim case is a good choice. The Give Today a Chance slim phone case protects the back and edges and is easy to slide into a pocket.
3. A phone stand
A stand lets you watch a video, follow a recipe or join a call hands free. The Made of Sunshine smartphone stand sits neatly on a desk or a kitchen counter. See our home desk setup ideas for more ways to use it.
4. A laptop case
A clear case protects the laptop shell and shows off the color of the device. The Love Always clear MacBook case adds a loving message. Match the case to your exact laptop model. If you carry your laptop around, a padded sleeve such as the There Is More to Life Than Hurry laptop sleeve adds protection in a bag.
5. A sticker or two
Stickers are a quick way to personalize a case. Read our guide to applying a sticker without bubbles before you start. Do not put stickers on a screen.
6. A desk mat or a mouse pad
A mat protects your desk and gives your device a soft place to rest. See the inspirational desk mat and the Do Less, Feel More mouse pad.
7. A small pouch
A pouch keeps chargers, earbuds and cables together. It also protects them from scratches in a bag. The Small Steps, Big Dreams accessory pouch is a pretty option.
8. A tote or a sleeve for carrying
A sturdy tote holds a laptop, a phone and a book. See ways to use a tote bag for ideas.
How to clean a phone case
- Remove it from the phone. Dirt can collect between the case and the phone.
- Wipe it down. Use a soft cloth with a little mild soap and water.
- Rinse and dry. Let it dry completely before you put it back.
- Avoid harsh cleaners. Strong chemicals can damage the print.
- Clean your phone. Use a screen safe wipe, and never spray liquid directly on it.
