Bodyguardz Apex Screen Protector (from $59.95) Bodyguardz screen protectors won me over a couple years ago when test samples withstood three direct hits with a steel ball before shattering. Since then, they’ve only improved. This tempered glass screen protector not only does a heck of a good job protecting your screen, but now includes a blue light blocking and privacy option (that keeps the screen clear for you but prevents people around you from snooping). It’s pricey, but screen repairs are even steeper, so I don’t cut corners.

Belkin 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand ($129.99) This docking station allows for Standby mode so you can get a glimpse of the time during those middleof-the-night wakeups and MagSafe keeps your iPhone securely in place. Its sleek and silver design fits with any home décor, so you don’t have to disrupt your aesthetic with a boxy charging block. Its versatility doesn’t end with iPhone orientation and design though; you can charge your iPhone, AirPods, and Apple Watch all at the same time. If you have to choose one charging stand, this is a solid choice.
