12 Amazon Smartphone Accessories You Never Knew You Needed

First came smartphones, then all the things our smartphones couldn't live without, like fast chargers, adorable cases, cord organizers, and all kinds of tech accessories that suddenly seemed oh-so-necessary. But hey, we love pampering our phones and eradicating cord clutter as much as the next person — especially when some of the internet's best smartphone accessories arrive quickly and efficiently in those smiley Amazon boxes.

Unlike worthwhile furniture and cult-favorite beauty products, it's no surprise that Amazon is home to tech accessories galore. What might surprise you (if you're not already shopping every TikTok influencer's Amazon storefront) is that those seemingly basic accessories can still have major aesthetic value. We did some professional-level sifting and found plenty of picks perfect for elevating your smartphone experience. From chargers that double as home decor to protective phone cases, game-changing cord organizers, and more — the following tech accessories make excellent additions to our lives (and Amazon carts).

Ah, the duality of chargers — they're a phone's lifeline and, most often, a person's nightmare. We forget them on the way to the office, let them take over desks, find out their fuel fizzled out in the middle of the night, and endure all kinds of nuisances way too many times a year. Invest in one of these top-rated phone gas stations for a future filled with fast charges, on-the-go power-ups, and sleek tabletop organization.

Phone cases aren't just phone cases anymore. In many instances the phone case is a signifier of the owner's personality and a popular form of self-expression — even a plain, clear, and ultra-protective case speaks a thousand words about a person. Out of the 100s of cases currently floating around Amazon, we believe these are worthy of a spot on your wishlist.

When life gives us scores of cords doing a conga line across our desks, we make our way to amazon and buy a few cord organizers. They come in all shapes and sizes — from mini travel pouches to heart-shaped clips. At the very least, they help us keep track of our chargers and elongate their lifespans (snapped necks and frayed wires be gone).
