Scosche BoomCan MS: M is for magnet (not marvelous)

The Scosche BoomCan MS Bluetooth speaker approaches stocking-stuffer levels of convenience, portability, and simplicity. This speaker is as simple as they come: a 2.5-inch wide disc designed to provide a little burst of audio wherever you happen to need it. The hook is that the back is magnetic, so you can stick it to any appropriate surface-including the backside of an iPhone 12 or higher, via the phone's perfectly sized MagSafe connection. (Note that it won't adhere if your phone has a non-MagSafe-approved case.) As a tiny bonus, when snapped to the back of your phone, the speaker works like a landscape-oriented kickstand (albeit one with a viewing angle that cannot be adjusted).
