Zagg Pro Keys for 11-inch iPad Pro — Also Great
Amazon deal price: $50; street price: $90

What we like: Our pick for the best iPad Pro keyboard case for older iPad Pro models. Comfortable design with backlit keys and good tactile feedback. Case separates from keyboard to protect iPad when you’re not typing. Two viewing angles. Pairs with up to two devices.

Other things to know: Wider and heavier than some competitors, but the extra bulk isn’t severe, and it brings added functionality.

ESR Rebound Magnetic Case for iPad Pro (11-inch, M4) — Budget Pick
Amazon deal price: $14; street price: $17

What we like: Our budget iPad Pro case pick. Basic, lightweight, and solid. Has Apple Pencil charging and storage. Front trifold cover can put your iPad Pro in sleep/wake mode and can fold into two stand modes, one for viewing and one for writing. Strong magnets keep iPad Pro securely attached. Grants easy access to your tablet’s ports, buttons, and speakers.

Other things to know: Doesn’t provide the complete protection that our top pick offers. Deal on the black version.

Tomtoc 360° Protective Sleeve (14-inch MacBook Pro) — Budget Pick
Amazon deal price: $20; street price: $29

What we like: Our budget pick for the best laptop sleeve and MacBook Pro case. Fits laptops better and offers more protection than most similarly priced options. The stiff polyester fabric is a little more water-resistant than that of some of our other picks.

Other things to know: Its front pocket, which barely holds a laptop charger, adds bulk. Surprisingly attractive but not particularly sleek or refined. Deal price is for the black sleeves that fit a 14-inch MacBook Pro; other on-sale colors are slightly higher.

Apple Pencil (1st Generation) — Top Pick
Walmart deal price: $60; street price: $100
Amazon deal price: $60; street price: $100

What we like: The best stylus for drawing on entry-level iPads. Lightweight and comfortable. Deft enough for professional illustration and calligraphy. Pressure sensitivity for precision line control.

Other things to know: Works only with iPads introduced since 2015. Does not charge wirelessly like the 2nd-gen Apple Pencil. One-year Apple warranty.

Logitech MX Keys S Wireless Keyboard For Mac — Best For
Amazon deal price: $93; street price: $110

What we like: The best full-size wireless keyboard for Mac. Offers a comfortable typing experience due to its well-spaced square keys. Has a backlight. Can pair with three devices via Bluetooth or a USB dongle.

Other things to know: Takes up way more desk space than our top pick. Battery life is shorter. Comparatively expensive. On sale in space gray.

Logitech MX Master 3S Wireless Mouse for Mac — Upgrade Pick
Amazon deal price: $85; street price: $100
Best Buy deal price: $85; street price: $100

What we like: Our upgrade pick for the best wireless mouse for Mac users. Comfortable to use all day—especially for larger hands—and has a thumb-scroll wheel and five other programmable buttons. Can connect to up to three devices via Bluetooth. Battery lasts about two months on a charge.

Other things to know: This Mac version does not come with a USB dongle. Testers with the smallest hands found it overly large. Logi Options+ software required to customize its buttons and sensitivity. A couple of bucks higher than what we saw during Prime Day but still a good deal.

Peak Design Everyday Case for iPhone 15 — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $40; street price: $50

What we like: Our top accessory-friendly case pick for the iPhone 15. Stylish design. Easily attaches to wide range of mounts, including those for your bike and car, through a combination of a locking clip and MagSafe-compatible magnets.

Other things to know: Its TPU border has small ridges along the inner edge that help absorb damage from drops. The panel also has a 0.8-inch-square cutout that serves as a mounting point, securely gripping accessories that clip in place. We saw no flaws. Great case that performs well in every way we evaluate cases.

Kate Spade Pavé Scallop Link Apple Watch Band — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $70; street price: $100

What we like: A stainless steel version of our favorite Apple Watch jewelry band. This stainless steel bracelet dresses up the Apple Watch for fancy occasions and has removable links that don’t require tools for adjustments. Folding clasp hides where the bracelet starts and ends.

Other things to know: Fits only the 38 mm and 40 mm watch sizes. Deal only on the rose gold finish.

Apple Pencil (2nd Generation) — Top Pick
Target deal price: $80; street price: $90
Amazon deal price: $80; street price: $90

What we like: Our top pick for the best stylus for drawing on higher-end iPads. Offers best-in-class accuracy and speed. Features pressure sensitivity along with tilt recognition and palm rejection. Charges magnetically through your iPad. Offers a convenient double-tapping feature.

Other things to know: Compatible only with an iPad Pro or iPad Air that has a USB-C port, not the most recent, 10th-generation iPad. If you don’t plan on drawing regularly on your iPad, one of our other picks would be better and cheaper.

Spigen Lite Fit Apple Watch Band — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $16; street price: $20

What we like: Our top pick for the best alternative to Apple’s Sport Loop. More affordable, and one of the lightest and most comfortable bands we’ve tested. Stays put all day. Minimalist aesthetic goes with anything. Accommodates many wrist sizes.

Other things to know: Material takes a while to dry, so not the best option if you like to wear your watch swimming or in the shower. Deal on black.

Incase Slim Case for iPhone 16 (Clear) — Top Pick
Best Buy deal price: $28; street price: $40 (with store pickup)

What we like: Our top clear case pick for the iPhone 16. Has strong magnets, a hardshell rear, added protection around the camera and its corners, and accessible buttons. Also has an integrated lanyard loop.

Other things to know: We’ve never found a clear case that doesn’t discolor to a noticeable degree after six to 12 months. Choose store pickup to avoid shipping fees.

Zens Magnetic Nightstand Qi Charger — Upgrade Pick
Zens deal price: $45; street price: $60

What we like: Our upgrade pick for the best Qi wireless charger. MagSafe capabilities. Extra-sturdy phone stand that’s especially topple-proof. Comes with its own wall charger.

Totallee Superthin Case for iPhone 16 — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $20; street price: $39

What we like: Our top pick for a superthin iPhone case. Measures only half a millimeter thick and weighs less than an ounce. Offers a bump to protect your camera lenses, covers your phone’s buttons, and provides accessible cutouts for the USB-C port and Camera Control button. Supports MagSafe for wireless charging and attaching accessories.

Other things to know: Doesn’t provide the best grip and can’t protect your phone much against drops. It also doesn’t handle scratches well—they are noticeable in good lighting, which is an issue we’ve found with other superthin cases.

Smartish Wallet Slayer Vol. 1 for iPhone 16 Case — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $19; street price: $25

What we like: Our top pick for the best iPhone 16 wallet case. Holds up to three cards firmly without sacrificing design or Camera Control access. Soft, rubberlike TPU construction, with air pockets in the corners, pebble-textured sides for grip, and rubber interior.

Other things to know: Not MagSafe compatible, so you need to switch cases to use wireless charging or magnetic accessories. Thicker profile than that of traditional cases. Not the best deal we’ve seen, but still a good deal price.

Smartish Gripzilla with MagSafe for iPhone 16 Case — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $23; street price: $30

What we like: Our top more protective case pick for the iPhone 16. Basically the Smartish Gripmunk but slightly thicker. Added air pocket corners offer even greater shock absorption. More deeply recessed finger ridges on either side to create an especially secure grip. MagSafe support is built in.

Other things to know: The larger corners give it a little more bulk, which tends to be the trade-off with a more protective case. Clip the on-page coupon. Lowest price we’ve seen for this case for the iPhone 16.
