  • This awesome little gadget here is called the Cable Wrangler.

  • Do you ever struggle with keeping your iPhone's charging cable where it belongs?

  • They slide down the desk or nightstand, they get lost in the couch or you generally can't easily grab them.

  • Well this heavy but very portable cable cushion is the solution.

  • It's a big magnet and most cables stick to it so they never get lost again.

  • If the cable in question isn't attractive enough, they even include 3 cable colors which you can slap around it to boost its Tinder rating.

  • It's compact and even has an anti-slip base so it won't move unless you want it to.

  • I think it looks really cool too and it can fit in basically any interior.

  • If this color is not your thing, they have a lot more too.

  • For instance the Lightly Toasted Beige and the Teal Me More.

  • There are a lot of products that can hold your cables but they all stick with some kind of glue that is difficult to remove and they don't look this awesome.

  • You can just set this thing where you want and move it again an hour later.

  • Which is great.

  • This can be a very cool and handy Christmas present for someone you like.

  • Anybody would be happy to receive this as a present and the best thing, it's only $19.99.

  • If you ever dropped your phone on your face, you know how humiliating it is.

  • Now you can solve this problem and look fancy while you do it.

  • The RhinoShield grips are MagSafe compatible so no glue is needed here.

  • If you don't use MagSafe however, their glue version Grip Mini can be taken off without residue and reapplied endless times.

  • Now with the current inflation rate, your new iPhone probably was very expensive.

  • No worries though.

  • Because you don't even need a TV anymore.

  • You can just watch Netflix on your iPhone because the Grip Max has a kickstand feature built in.

  • Whether it's vertical or horizontal, the Grip Max has got you covered.

  • It feels very comfortable and it doesn't hurt your hand while you hold it, unlike other similar products.

  • It has strong magnets built in so if you have a decent case with good magnet strength too, this will go nowhere and you can be rest assured that your phone won't hug the ground anymore.

  • Still not convinced?

  • You can customize it with your own design.

  • Or one of the countless collabs they did.

  • For example, the PewDiePie collab.

  • Another great MagSafe related product is this awesome car holder from Pitaka.

  • Now I've reviewed their phone cases too.

  • So if you want to go all out carbon fiber, check out the video in the description.

  • A car holder with strong magnets is essential if you have an iPhone 14 Pro Max.

  • But you want it to look good too.

  • This one here has it all.

  • The design is great, its shape helps to snap the phone to the holder and the magnetic strength is very good.

  • You can even buy the charging version.

  • But I already have enough charging wires going everywhere, so I got the non-charging version.

  • Which is cheaper too.

  • Now you can finally hit that speed bump at 80 miles per hour without fearing for your iPhone screen.

  • I'm joking, don't do that.

  • The clever hook design firmly holds the mount to a variety of car fans.

  • Then you can tighten it to make sure it doesn't fall off.

  • Which is great, because most don't offer that extra hook and it will simply fall off.

  • I think that the carbon fiber design with the subtle MagSafe ring and the overall rounded shape of the car holder is awesome.

  • And I love the way it looks in my car.

  • Next product is the Gooseneck Phone Slash Tablet Holder.

  • I use it to clamp my iPhone in while I'm working.

  • It's not the greatest for typing while it's in there, because it can be a little wobbly at times.

  • But if you want to keep track of something, or have it, or a tablet, act as a second screen, this one is for you.

  • You put the base clamp over your desk, or wherever really, and then you can adjust it according to your liking.

  • It's most stable in an S-shape, so if you want the least amount of wobble while typing, go for that.

  • I love the fact that your iPhone is protected against scratches because of the rubber inserts on the clamp itself.

  • And the leather wrapping makes it look even better.

  • There's a lot to like about this product.

  • Like I said, you can use it for tablets as well.

  • So if you use that while working, or you just want to watch a video on the couch, you can do that too.

  • They even put a little piece of rope at the end of the clamp, so you can hold on to that while putting in your phone.

  • Now we're continuing the topic of iPhone holders to bikes.

  • Do you like cycling, but you cannot always find your way back?

  • No problem!

  • Slap this thing on the handlebar and install Google Maps.

  • Now of course there are fancy MagSafe accessories for your bike as well, but that's not always necessary and a pain to remove every time you step off your bike.

  • Now they can easily steal this too, but it will only set you down like $10, instead of $50 to $100.

  • And it will not rust, since it's entirely made of silicone and plastic.

  • Since it's so easily adjustable, it's compatible with most handlebars too.

  • I cannot recommend this product enough.

  • Just make sure to use a decent case, because when it does fall off, your iPhone won't be happy.

  • If you don't leave the house, and you're more the type that has a thread mill under their desk, I refer you back to my previous product mention.

  • Talking about iPhone cases, go check out my other video on the top 5 cases for the iPhone 14 Pro Max if you don't have one yet, or if you're in the market for a new one.

  • MagSafe wallets are my next topic.

  • I can't say I've tried everything, but the MUJO MagSafe wallet is awesome and it will never ever ever come off.

  • It has strong magnets, but that's not the only trick up its sleeves.

  • It has anti-slip stripes on the back, so it's best of both worlds.

  • Very clever thinking here.

  • The amount of times I've accidentally shoved off my wallet while putting it in or out my pockets is innumerable.

  • Since I got this awesome product, I've never even once shoved it off accidentally.

  • It fits 3 cards, and it's made from a vegetable-tanned Echoletter that ages beautifully.

  • Since we all pay with Apple Pay anyway, who needs more than 3 cards nowadays?

  • You can scratch, damage and throw this thing around and it will still look beautiful.

  • I've also made a video on their leather case, which is definitely the same quality.

  • So if you like to go all leather-look, go check them out.

  • Another essential gadget is this MagSafe ring.

  • For if your favorite case brand sucks at sourcing decent magnets, or if your favorite case doesn't have MagSafe.

  • Or if your partner still rocks the iPhone 11 and you can't use the same car holder.

  • We've all been there.

  • You just paste the ring on there and now you're cool too.

  • No, but in all seriousness, good magnet strength is very important if you want to use all of those awesome gadgets and this is a very easy to recommend, paste on and forget no-brainer.

  • Now the Sandmarc Tripod and the Cinema Slider.

  • Both are very premium-feeling products.

  • It has a ball head, a clamp for your iPhone, an ARCA switchblade and the expandable tripod itself.

  • It's made for taking it with you, so it can fold in a very small package and thus will never take up the whole backpack.

  • In comparison, with another smartphone tripod, you can see how portable this thing really is.

  • To expand the legs, you simply turn and pull.

  • No clamps anymore.

  • Especially in combination with the Cinema Slider, which in and of itself is very portable, this really shines.

  • You can make very smooth looking shots while on the go or in your studio.

  • It's just so much fun making these shots.

  • With most tripods, I always have the feeling that something is going to break or I have to be really careful with it.

  • Ever since I got these, that's just all a vague memory for me.

  • In the Netherlands, we have a saying that basically says, buying cheap is expensive.

  • And that's so true.

  • If you want quality products, you have to spend a little more.

  • But I can guarantee that this will hold up forever and you will truly appreciate the build quality of these.

  • And if you're a creator or just like to make awesome looking photos or videos while you're on vacation, this will pay itself back within no time.

  • Last but not least, the new iPhones will probably have USB-C, due to a ruling from the EU.

  • So this one is called Thinking Ahead, making sure you are set for yet another struggle for the cables.

  • The crown jewel is a USB-A to USB-C micro USB and lightning cable.

  • This is great for switching cables, but not having to search for another.

  • Now I'm quite certain that they'll update this design to USB-C, but I'm not so sure they'll upgrade from USB-C to USB-C slash lightning in the future, since most of us upgraded to USB-C charging brick already.

  • But in case that they don't, you could also look at these adapters from Rinki, which come in a pack of two.

  • And that's probably because you will at least lose one of these.

  • Do you like these kind of videos?

  • Then stick around on the channel or watch some more videos.

  • For now though, have an awesome day.

This awesome little gadget here is called the Cable Wrangler.
