Welcome back to our weekly look at the latest iOS device accessories to hit the market. In this edition, we’re highlighting an interesting wireless charging system for the iPhone 5s/5, an inexpensive pair of Bluetooth headphones, and more.
Known for its external batteries and battery cases, uNu has recently introduced a wireless charging system for the iPhone 5s/5. The Aero comes with a 2,000 mAH battery case and a wireless charging mat. Instead of having to carry around a charging cable, just place the case directly on the mat, and charging will begin. The raised-edged frame of the case helps to protect the screen from scratches. And the built-in battery can add up to 10 hours of additional talk time or 270 hours standby time.
The complete system can be ordered now on uNu’s site for $99.99. Buyers can select from a black or white case. Look for a full review of the system soon.
Originally introduced at CES 2014 earlier this month in Las Vegas, Scosche’s magicMOUNT line is now on sale. Users need to apply the Magic Plate to their device, and then they can use a trio of different mounts.
The pictured $19.99 magicMOUNT lets users magnetically hold a phone or tablet to a desk, tabletop, or dashboard. It also features a cable clip to help avoid tangles.
As the name suggests, magicMOUNT Window adds a powerful suction cup to place on vehicle windshields. It will set you back $24.99.
Finally, magicMOUNT Surface is designed as a perfect wall mount for tablets. It costs $14.99.
All three products can be ordered directly from Scosche’s site now.
An inexpensive pair of Bluetooth 4.0 headphones, the H6080 from Rapoo is compact and designed for travel. The company says the COM-Ti membrane vibrating technology is designed to deliver clear treble and mellow bass. And with the voice activation features, users can answer or reject a call by just saying “yes” or “no.”
While retailing for $49.99, you can purchase the gray, blue, or yellow set of headphones from Wal-Mart’s site for $32.88.
Divoom’s new Voombox Outdoor is a water-resistant Bluetooth 4.0 speaker designed for rugged conditions. Along with a rechargeable battery that offers up to 12 hours of music on a single charge, it offers music lovers a pair of 2-inch drivers, one tweeter, and two passive radiators. The built-in microphone also lets users make and take calls.
The speaker can be ordered now for $99.99 directly from Divoom’s site. Buyers can select from a red, green, black, or blue version.
Designed for the DSLR camera user, the new Python Mirrorless bag from Booq also features an interior compartment that can hold an iPad mini or other smaller tablet. Made with durable and water repellant ballistic nylon, a quick zipper access pocket on top of the bag gives photographers easy access to their iPhone. A pair of exterior zippered side pockets provide storage for smaller items like a lens cover, extra batteries, or a wallet.
The bag will set you back $80 and can be purchased directly from Booq’s site.
