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 suggest you take this one. Made as a promotional device, it never got its promo logo and the light only shines for about 30 seconds, we think to highlight the absent logo. But it kept its ability to make your tablet stand up and be seen. The stand measures approx 5" long, and the light measures about 1.5" x 1". Comes with a 3.5" stylus nestled inside to give your finger a break, and a gray velvet pouch to store it in. Runs on (3) AG-13 button cell batteries, included, and you're welcome.

Made to work with any wireless charging-enabled device, this inductive charging pad measures 7-1/2" x 4” in flexible non-slip silicone for gripping any surface, including dashboards. Designed with a tray-like depression, so phones won’t take a hike, it’s also a phone stand so you can see the directions on the GPS maps. Though wireless, it also includes a USB charging cable, which we think is a nice touch.

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.)

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.

Ditch the wires and start picking up good vibrations with this excellent wireless Qi charger from Philips. This 3-1/2" round disc with an anti-slip bottom is like a coaster for your phone with the ability to quickly recharge your phone. Works with most smartphones with an inductive charging feature and has protection against overheating and overcharging. The LED charging indicator turns off for your sleeping convenience. Comes with a 6-foot micro-USB cord, but you supply the power supply—most 9v or 5v rated for 2A outputs should do it. Yes, your phone must have an inductive charging feature.

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 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.

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.

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.
