Aukey's 30,000mAh power bank will keep you away from wall outlets
If you are such a power user that a 10,000mAh or even a 20,000mAh power bank isn't enough for your phone to stay charged while you complete your tasks, you might be interested in hearing about Aukey's 30,000mAh power bank. But before you start thinking about carrying around an accessory like this throughout the day, keep in mind that the dimensions of this power plant are huge.
Measuring nearly 6-inches in length and weighing in at 3.5 inches wide and 1 inch thick, the unit tips the scales at 20.6 ounces fully charged. One downside to having such a large capacity power bank is that it takes more than 10 hours to fully power up. The upside is that it will charge your Apple iPhone 7 10 times, or your Samsung Galaxy S7 6.5 times.
If you don't mind walking around with the device everywhere you go, this Aukey power bank could end up being your best friend as it keeps your mobile device alive for at least a couple of days without requiring a charge. You'll be the envy of your wall hugging friends with a 30,000mAh battery at your disposal.
Even more remarkable, this device can be purchased at Amazon for just $39.99. That is a $10 discount from the usual price. If you are are a serious power user who drains the battery on his phone constantly but doesn't have time to charge up, click on the sourcelink below.
There are many different companies that produce accessories for smartphones. There are cases, accessories for wireless charging, car chargers, and of course, power banks. For those who use their phone all of the time, the power bank has become an invaluable tool. Thanks to a power bank, you can keep your phone running even when the cell inside your device is flat out empty.
So which company has sold the most power banks in the world? It's Xiaomi. The Chinese manufacturer added to its line yesterday with the introduction of the Mi PowerBank Pro. This unit is equipped with a 10,000mAh battery, a Type-C USB port and a soft cover that protects it. The power bank is priced at $35 USD.
Xiaomi has rung up 55 million power banks to date, which includes six different models ranging in capacity from 5,000mAh to 20,000mAh. While some older models have been discontinued, Xiaomi is selling certain power banks to U.S. customers through its Mi Global website. If you're interested, click on the sourcelink.

Apple's newest iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus bring a number of improvements to their spec sheet: they are more powerful, featuring a brand new system chip, they have improved cameras, and both phones are now also water-protected, but one thing they are not is unbreakable.
Quite the opposite: a several foot drop of that expensive new iPhone on a concrete floor could crack the screen and incur hundreds of dollars of damages. If luck is not on your side, a careless drop could even completely break your phone and require you to buy a new one. Even if you don't drop or break your phone, though, scratches still accumulate (cough, Jet Black iPhones, cough) and reduce the resale price of your device. And after all, chances are you'd want to sell your phone for the best price once that next great thing comes along.
For all those reasons, you likely need a case and having one that is vigorously tested to protect your phone from even the most severe drops will bring you peace of mind. An additional compartment where you can put a couple of your cards is also a nice extra that might even convince you to not carry that bulky wallet with you everywhere. Well, there's a case that does all that: it's the Damda Glide iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus case by VRS Design.
The Damda Glide comes in a vast selection of color options: there are 8 color options total, including a Black one that matches that stunning Jet Black color on the new iPhone 7 series. Other available options include a Steel Blue, Steel Silver, Satin Silver, Champagne Gold and Rose Gold (both great options if you have a gold iPhone), as well as the bold and striking Indie Yellow and Apple Red.
The magic of the Damda Glide case is without a doubt its semi-automatic card compartment. Its spring-loaded mechanism requires only a gentle push to open it and another push to pull it back in a closed position. Official specs say that you can load it up with two cards, but we managed to fit in three of our cards. Don't count on our number, but do keep in mind that unless you have bulky cards, it could be possible to have one extra card stored in there.
The most essential function of a case, though, is to protect your phone from all sorts of damage. The VRS Damda Glide is an excellent option when protection is concerned: it meets and exceeds military standard drop tests (MIL STD 810G-516.6). What does that mean? This specification guarantees extra toughness and VRS has rigorously tested it, dropping iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus devices in a Damda Glide case 26 times from a 4-foot distance without any damage incurred to the phones.
Look at the case and you'd see where does that extra protection comes from: a hard polycarbonate outer shell provides external protection, while a soft polyurethane membrane cushions the handset from the inside. Yes, the case does add quite a bit of bulk to the otherwise slim iPhones, but in exchange provides all of that additional protection. Look closer and you also notice that extra padding around the four corners - critical first impact zones - also contributes to to protecting the device. Up front, the case rises just slightly above the display, but enough so that you can lay the phone flat with the screen down on a table and the screen glass won't come in contact with the table surface.
It's also worth noting just how easy and effortless it is to insert the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus inside the Damda Glide, and it's equally as easy to take the phone out. Other tough cases require extremely complicated procedures to simply insert the phone, so we're glad that we don't have to deal with such complexities here.
Big cutouts at the bottom of the phone make it easy to access the Lightning port, and that is important as now people would be using that phone for both charging and to plug in the built-in EarPod headphones. The speaker and mics on the bottom are also not obstructed in any way, and while it is a bit harder to reach the mute switch, it's still within everyone's reach. At the same time, the physical buttons on the sides - the lock key and volume rocker - are covered by the case. Luckily, these buttons still feel very clicky and responsive.
So, how do you get your iPhone dressed and protected in such a case? The VRS Damda Glide for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus is already available for $39.99. You can buy it and learn more about it at the VRS Design online store at the links right below. Standard shipping is free and takes 3 to 5 days in the United States (it's even faster if you're in California), while international shipping rates vary by country.

Wireless earbuds and headphones have been getting a lot trendier recently, due to the fact that the good ol' 3.5mm audio jack got nixed on a couple of high-ranking smartphones released so far in 2016. This means that getting yourself a pair of wireless buds is one of the ways to make sure you will be able to enjoy music on your Moto Z or iPhone 7/7 Plus. Of course, you can use wireless earbuds with just about any other device out there.
If you've been on the hunt for a new set of wireless buds, then we have a neat offer for you - the 1Voice Bluetooth Wirefree Earbuds are currently priced at $52.99, which is a neat 55% discount over their regular price of $119.00.
The 1Voice Bluetooth earbuds are ergonomically designed to fit in your ears without falling out while you're jogging or exercising at the gym. That's pretty crucial since each earbud is essentially independently as well. Each of these earbuds offers up to roughly 4 hours of audio playback thanks to the 65mAh battery inside every earbud.
