ESR Shift Magnetic Case for iPad Pro (11-inch, M4) — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $34 (deal on black); street price: $40
What we like: Our top pick for the best iPad Pro case. Nine viewing angles. Consists of two separate pieces: a protective case and a folio with magnetic stand. Easy to carry and stable enough to use on your lap. Comes with rear and side Apple Pencil storage. We haven’t come across many cases that offer the same features for a similar price.
Other things to know: Raised screen-view placement doesn’t feel secure, so we recommend using only the standard landscape and portrait views for this case. Deal price on black.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid MagFit Clear Case for iPhone 17 — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $12; street price: $16
What we like: Our top clear case pick for the iPhone 17. Lets your iPhone’s factory finish show through. Has a transparent hard-plastic back, TPU borders, and air pockets for shock absorption. The buttons are covered too, and they offer a tactile feel. The MagSafe ring on the back offers a strong hold when you’re attaching accessories.
Other things to know: Comes with a blue resin coating for anti-yellowing, and we plan to test it long-term to see if that helps to counter the discoloration. That said, we expect that some yellowing is inevitable.

Mujjo Full Leather Case For iPhone 17 — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $39 (deal on black or navy); street price: $49
What we like: Our top leather case pick for the iPhone 17. Made of high-quality, vegetable-tanned leather. Aluminum camera bumper protects camera lenses against drops. Features clicky metal buttons, MagSafe support, and an integrated Camera Control button.

Apple Pencil (2nd Generation, Open-Box) — Top Pick
Woot deal price: $65 (free shipping for Prime members); street price: $80
What we like: Our top pick for the best stylus for drawing on older iPad Pro models. Offers best-in-class accuracy and speed. Features pressure sensitivity along with tilt recognition and palm rejection. Charges magnetically through your iPad. Offers a convenient double-tapping feature.
Other things to know: Only compatible with the iPad Pro or iPad Air that have a USB-C port. One of our other picks would be better and cheaper if you don’t use your iPad for drawing. New, open-box items from Woot have been opened due to being a photo sample, a tested working customer return, or having damaged packaging. At least 120 days remaining of the original Apple warranty.

Raptic Link + Lock Carabiner — Gift Pick
Amazon deal price: $18; street price: $25
What we like: A combination-lock carabiner we like in our gift guide for cyclists. Made of heavy-duty polycarbonate. Securely attaches an Apple AirTag, our favorite Bluetooth tracker, to keep track of larger items like bikes, luggage, or dog collars.
Other things to know: Apple Airtag not included. Bigger and heavier than it looks (about 4 inches and 4 ounces). Won’t stand up to bolt cutters, but it’s good for tracking (less good for locking).
