And more. This accessory kit for smart phones (works with iPhone, Samsung, HTC, iPad, tablets and many others) has a 2” long clip-on bracket with screw-in macro, wide-angle and fish-eye lenses. Paul loves his kit and he’s our optics expert. Use the macro for insects, coins and diamonds. Fish-eye and wide-angle for great visual effects. Includes a little pouch to carry it all in, and tiny lens caps.

Note: Two lenses come threaded together to conserve space. 

Remember dictionaries? Never mind--they’re all inside your phone now, but in an homage to the dictionary stands of the past, we present this little black aluminum stand for your phone or tablet to sit on while you look stuff up, or do anything else. Measures 4" tall x 4-1/2" x 3" with a ledge with silicone pads and keyed holes to organize the cords through when the battery runs low. Bottom also has pads to keep it from sliding around. Will work with most phones and tablets up to a 9” screen.

We’re just guessing, but we’re pretty sure you don’t own a USB charging-cable-keychain-bottle opener combo. Until now. Measures 3-5/8" x 1-3/8" x 3/8" with the opener at one end. Pull up on the center and reveal a 7” long charger/data cord with USB and micro-USB plugs at either end. A light-duty carabiner makes it a keychain. (Watch for the next generation of this item, possibly with an added espresso maker.)

By jiminy. A little jumper cord with a modular plug on one end and flat "T" connectors on the other side at the end of dual leads. Wires are insulated, with 3-1/2" of the 7" length covered by a telephone-wire-style gray jacket.

Our 4-1/2" long x 2" wide x 1" deep cell phones fit nicely in this black-leather carrying case. The front is a 2-1/2" x 1-5/8" window of clear plastic through which you can press the buttons. The case is open on the bottom so you can access the ports, and comes with a 6" wrist strap and a plastic belt/pocket clip. A small strap snaps over the phone antenna to keep it from slipping out. Unfortunately, if your phone doesn't have an external antenna, there is nothing to keep it in except a snug fit, an extraordinarily rigid posture, and a determination to never bend over.

Ten-packs of 2-pin breakouts (or terminal blocks) from telephone junction boxes, in black or gray with red and green leads that terminate in a modular plug. The breakouts measure 11/16" wide x 5/8" high x 3/4" deep. The screw terminals are 1-1/4" long and the modular plug jumper reaches about 2-3/8" when snapped into its clip.

This 7-foot length of standard 4-wire gray telephone cord has a modular plug on each end and an in-line 1-1/2" x 1" dia interference blocking RF filter at one end. 'Nuff said.

Our phone headsets all have swing-up mics with a windscreen, adjustable headbands and padded ear-pieces. The 4-foot cords terminate in a 5-pin DIN plug. (Orienting the plug with the pins on the bottom, the two left pins are 35-ohm, probably for the speaker; the middle pin is not active; and the two right pins are 2K, we think for the mic.) You pick the left-ear set or the adjustable set, which will fit either left or right ears.

This padded earpiece has a 46" cord, nice little padded ear gripper to keep it from falling out, an extra ear pad, an inline answer switch and a pivoting microphone like all the football coaches wear. Made for Nokia, it has a non-standard 3mm TRRS Nokia plug, but could be rewired with another size plug by anyone with minimal motivation and soldering skills.

Take care of your screens and they'll take care of you. (A drill sergeant told us this about our socks once, but this time it's true.) This kit includes (3) wet and (3) dry anti-static wipes, a 7" x 4-1/2" microfiber cleaning cloth, and (6) self-adhesive clear vinyl screen protectors at 3-1/2" x 2-3/4" with a grid on the back to help cut them to size, and a little plastic thingy to squoogee the air bubbles out.

Nice low-profile wall charger has fold-in prongs and dual USB ports for a 2A maximum output. Measures 2-3/4” x 1-1/2” x 1-3/8”. From Vivitar®. UL.

Smart money thinks it will be after the Third Romulan War, but it could be sooner. Get prepped with this retro-style almond push-button phone with a partially coiled 58" cord, modular plug, ringer on/off switch, and plastic wall mount. Screws included. Please note that these phones have only a pulsed dialing output and may not work on all landlines.

Our mega-super-bargain selfie stick will set you back less than two bucks. Think about that. And yeah, go ahead and look up how much they usually cost. Ours starts out 9” long and extends to 38” with a spring-loaded phone holder that will grab smart phones from 2-1/4” to 3-1/2” wide, which is way wide. Surplusiness factor: no trigger, but it’s just fine for timed photos, videos and snap-chatting. Has a rubber grip and a neck that pivots, like yours.

Selfie sticks are for dweebs. And you won’t need one if you have a remote shutter for your Bluetooth smartphone, tablet or MP3 camera. Range is (30) feet and it’s compatible with IOS or Android. The housing measures 1-7/8" x 1-5/16" x 7/16" and it comes with a button-cell battery for power. You pick black or dark fuchsia, although our social-media chieftain Billy insists it’s “man-pink.”

This 6” long micro-USB to USB charge and data cable is fabric-covered and has rubber flanges and collars at both ends to protect it from fraying or breaking. Sound like a cable you already have? Probably not. But even if it does, you can never have too many: in the car, office and sock drawer, and on the bike, boat, kayak and scooter. You need charger cables. We all do.
