The cable is really lightweight, and can be used as a standalone tripod when you want a second screen. It comes with an in-car adapter for handsfree calling and charging on the move.

When you’re driving or on the go, and your phone is not within reach, the Satechi Bluetooth home button (now $19.99, or 20 percent off) activates Siri from afar. So if you need directions or to make a call, you can do so at the push of a button. It also comes in shutter or media options, for easy, remote-controlled access.

The iPhone is not known for having expansive storage capacity. Luckily, the iSafe Drive Lite (now $99, or 17 percent off) lets you plug in an extra 64GB. With one USB and one Lightning connector, it is ideal for transferring files quickly. The iSafe is the first flash drive to receive MFi certification from Apple, and it offers AES 256-bit encryption for your files.
