Portable power Rebecca Minkoff Charging Wristlet for the iPhone 6 or iPhone 6s, $120
There are a lot more practical – and better looking – ways to charge an iPhone 6s than Apple’s less-than-appealing new battery case. Once you open up the fashionable wristlet from Rebecca Minkoff, you can protect your iPhone 6s/6 while charging it with a built-in 3,500mAH cell. The interior of the wristlet also offers two slots for credit cards or cash.
The solution costs $120 and can be ordered now from Nordstrom. You can select from a brown, black, or blue version made with real leather.
Watch this Sena Leather Watch Case for the Apple Watch, $79.95
Doing double duty as a charging stand and travel case, Sena’s beautiful solution is made with real European leather. Compatible with all watch sizes and bands, the device is protected with a bed of microsuede lining. You can charge your watch on its side to activate the handy Nightstand Mode in WatchOS 2.0. When you’re ready to hit the road, the magnetic closure lid quickly and easily snaps on the top. It can also be used to elevate the stand while at home.
Available in black, the case can be purchased now from Sena for $79.95. You’ll need to provide your own Apple Watch charging cable.
