Spigen/ZDNET
1. Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit for iPhone 17/18 Pro Max Case
Our pick for best overall iPhone 18 series case, this option from Spigen is sleek, durable, and affordable. There are both solid and clear options for nearly every iPhone model. It’s a no-fuss option for someone who wants a budget iPhone case as soon as they get their new device.

2. Torras Q3 Rugged 360 iPhone 18 Pro Case
Our pick for the best iPhone 18 case with a kickstand, this option from Torras is still affordable at under $50. While it doesn’t offer many color options, it features a built-in ring that can serve as a grip or stand for your device. Plus, there’s MagSafe built in.

4. Ugreen Nexode Air 65W 3-Port USB C Charger Block
Gadget expert Adrian Kingsley-Hughes loves this 65W charger, which is thin enough to fit behind his couch, and readers do too.

5. Apple Watch Series 11 42mm
With the recent launch of the new Watch Series 12, new in-box options for the Watch Series 11 are seriously dwindling, and readers are scooping them up. Most stock of the 42mm Watch Series 11 is sold through retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Amazon, but you can find open-box or refurbished options. Target has some NIB 47mm Series 11s, but those are going fast, too.

6. Zugu Case for iPad Air
Zugu’s iPad Air case is still our pick for the best overall iPad Air case. It has tons of built-in features, like an adjustable stand and stylus holder, plus, it comes in tons of great colors to suit many styles. It’s also durable and quality material for its $60 price tag.

7. Satechi On-the-Go Foldable Stand and Hub
Expert Adrian Kingsley-Hughes said this $80 accessory turned his tablet from a mouse pad to a productivity powerhouse. Satechi’s On-the-Go Foldable Stand Hub does much more than hold your tablet.
Supcase/ZDNET
8. Supcase for iPhone 18 Pro Case
Another option from our best iPhone 18 cases list, this rugged choice from Supcase blends elevated protection and sleek design. Plus, it won’t break the bank either.
