The holidays are often a time of giving and receiving, and with countless promos and discounts in store for the weeks ahead, you might be after some deals on tech and accessories. If you’ve already checked out our holiday gift guide for 2025’s best smartphones, then you might be interested in adding some accessories for your smartphone.
That being said, we’ve covered a number of pretty well-known brands in this list, which pump out different cases, chargers and gear for a wide plethora phone models. It should be noted though that we’ve included product series rather than attempting to list each and every single accessory model for specific models, just to make things a bit simpler overall. So with that out of the way, we’re hoping this list will give you a better idea of which accessory to go for.
Rugged Cases
Rugged smartphone cases come packed with heavy-duty designs to keep your phone snug inside. While they tend to be thick and heavy, they also do a great job of absorbing impact, fending off scratches, and even keeping water off your device.
Spigen’s Tough Armor series cases are available for a wide ranger of major brands and phone models such as Samsung Galaxy, Google Pixel and Apple iPhones, and they combine a flexible protective TPU layer with an external hard shell.
Sale
Otterbox’s Defender cases are also available for different brands, and take one step further with the addition of a belt holster and protective frame around your phone’s display.
Sale
UAG makes a TON of different cases, but its Pathfinder series cases stands out as one of the best in its lineup, combining reliable polycarbonate-and-TPU protection with a rather striking design that screams let’s do some rock climbing!
Sale
SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro Series
One of the more rugged cases in this lineup, SUPCASE’s Unicorn Beetle Pro cases feature a two-part design with a built-in screen protector, in addition to an integrated kickstand and belt holster.
The Mous Limitless cases stand out thanks to the addition of an Aramid Fibre layer on the case, which is a lot tougher than regular plastic. they also come with pretty thick TPU sides which wrap tightly around your phone.
Hybrid Cases
If you want something that’s still protective but a bit more lightweight, then you might want to get a hybrid case instead, which often combines a hard plastic rear shell and flexible TPU sides into a single-piece case that wraps tightly around the edges of your device.
Sale
First up we have Spigen’s Thin Fit cases, which come with very minimalist designs consisting of a hard plastic back and flexible TPU sides. They’re also easy to put on and take off from your phone.
While similar to the Thin Fit cases, the Ultra Hybrid series comes with transparent designs that let you see the design of your smartphone, instead of hiding it away.
Ringke’s Fusion X series cases take a similar approach to Spigen’s offerings, although they come with more robust bumpers on the side, as well as more angular designs.
The SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Style cases come with transparent shells as well, although they feature slightly more-rounded sides that help with overall handling.
ESR’s Hybrid cases likewise come with clear designs that show off your device’s looks, and also integrate MagSafe charging to allow for compatibility with other MagSafe mounts and accessories.
TPU Cases
TPU cases are probably the simplest and most common type of cases that you can get, as they mostly feature a single flexible piece that wraps around your phone without any additional layers in the mix. They also age better compared to silicone covers, which often end up being sticky and deformed after a while.

Other Accessories
To further round up this list, we’ve also included several other product categories that you might want to get for a gift or for your own device. These include screen protectors, external pouch cases, and MagSafe accessories, a lot of which are now compatible even with Android smartphones.
Spigen EZ Fit Screen Protector Series
Spigen’s EZ Fit Screen Protector Series makes it pretty easy to fit a screen protector on your smartphone, thanks to a bundled application tool. It also includes a pair of protectors in the box.
Bellroy Venture Phone Pocket Plus
If you’d rather use a dedicated phone pouch instead of a case and protector, this compact option from Bellroy comes with a sleek-looking leather exterior and extra room for a few other items such as cards, keys and loose change.
For something a bit bigger, the Bellroy tech Kit might be more to your liking. It comes with more room for your phone as well as additional accessories such as a charging brick and cable, earbuds, and even a stylus.
If you’re using a phone with a MagSafe case (or an iPhone for that matter), Satechi’s MagSafe Wallet makes for a nice addition to your everyday-carry setup thanks to its built-in card slots. It also doubles as a smartphone stand.
Sale
Pelican’s MagSafe Wallet functions similarly with a bit of extra room for your cards, although it comes in a more robust and durable design with PX4 MIL-GRADE drop protection against splashes & spills.
Chargers and Power Banks
Finally, no smartphone accessory list would be complete without a rundown of chargers and power banks. That in mind, here are some of the best options that you can get for your device.
Sale
UGREEN Slim Magnetic Power Bank
Available in 5,000 and 10,000 mAh variants, UGREEN’s slim power bank can easily attach to the side of your phone. It also works with wireless earbuds and other accessories than can charge wirelessly.
Sale
If you’re in the US, chances are that your phone charges well below the crazy 80-100W speeds that we’re seeing on some of the newer phones from Chinese brands. That said, Belkin’s 45W charger is easily a no-brainer as it can easily charge to match your phone’s rated top speed.
If your phone can charge at higher speeds, then UGREEN’s 100W-speed Nexode charger should make an ideal companion for your device.
Sale
if you ever find yourself in a situation where your smartphone, smartwatch, and earbuds are all simultaneously in need of charging, then ESR’s Qi 2.2-certified 3-in-1 wireless charger is the best solution to your charging woes.
Anker Prime MagSafe Car Mount Charger
For on-the-go charging in your car, we’d highly recommend Anker’s Prime MagSafe Car Mount Charger, which is Qi2 certified and comes with 25W charging.
So this concludes our quick little guide. There’s no shortage of accessories for a ton of different phone brands and models out there, and hopefully this list was helpful for those of you who are looking to get their friends and loved ones some new gear for the holidays.
