After visiting E3 and PAX in 2015, I have received a few headsets to look at. These gaming headsets work on PCs as well as mobile devices. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages when it comes to using them on an iOS device.

I recently had an opportunity to try out the newest rugged waterproof case from Dog & Bone; the Wetsuit Impact, and I have to say, it's one of the best waterproof cases I've ever had the pleasure of testing. It is a remarkably well designed iPhone case, with a great deal of attention paid to every little detail. Not only does the Wetsuit Impact (Starting at $79.95) provide some of the best, most reliable protection of any waterproof, heavy-duty case on the market, it also looks fabulous and fashionable while doing so. It sports a svelte form-factor with advanced technical design elements that elevate the status of this case to one of the premier cases of its class.

Unless you’ve been meditating in a cave, you’re likely aware that fitness trackers and wearables are taking the tech world by storm. From Fitbit to Apple Watch and beyond, from wristbands to sport bras - everything can be ‘smart’ these days. Yet, Jabra has its own solution with the Sport Pulse ($199.99) wireless Bluetooth earbuds that can track your heartbeat. That means no guessing whether or not you’re in your heart rate range for an optimal workout. Needless to say, I was excited to give them a try.

Satechi makes a broad range of accessories that really complement the life of an Apple user. It makes remote controls, mouse pads, charging stations, and more that all fit in nicely with Apple's use of aluminum and attention to even the smallest of details. And since Apple bought the somewhat garish Beats to use as its headphone line, Satechi makes headphones that are now more Apple than Apple! Case in point, the Aluminum Wireless Headphones ($69.99). Available in gold, space grey, and silver, they would look right at home in an Apple Store. The only thing non-Apple about them is the low price, about $70 for Bluetooth wireless headphones.

People always ask me what is the best gift for the person who has everything, and I always reply, "Something to carry it in!" And if that person cares at all about fashion, they will appreciate the Helios Lite Backpack ($119.95) from Moshi. The folks at Moshi always deliver stylish, well-designed, well-built products, and as one of the best tech backpacks out there, the Helios is no exception. It's a backpack that doesn't make you look like an extra in Revenge of the Nerds. You could be right at home in the boardroom, the courtroom, or the computer room.

Apple has released a plethora of Apple Watch bands to let users give their Apple Watch a personal touch, but a low-cost option dubbed iPops goes even further. You insert an iPop into one of the holes in your Apple Watch band and have your own Pandora-style bracelet that tells a story. iPops are like emojis that you wear.

Some of my favorite cases feature artwork. Usually they're minimally protective but beautiful without adding bulk. So when I was asked to review an iPhone case with 3D Pop Artist Charles Fazzino’s artwork on the back, I jumped on the opportunity. Borrowing from some of his best Manhattan skyline works, the collection of Fazzino cases ($39.99) include five different pieces. I’m obsessed with Broadway musicals so I opted for the Broadway scene and patiently waited for the mail.

We choose our iPhone cases for different reasons. Whether you want something to protect your phone from elements or show off your personality, we all have preferences. Currently, I’m keeping it classy with a case that doubles as my wallet, and let me tell you, it is convenient. But before that, my favorite cases were always ones with beautiful designs that either inspire me or make me laugh. With all the thousands of options on the market, it’s not always easy to narrow in on the case for you. So, here’s a list of eight awesome and beautiful cases for the iPhone 6/6s to fit (nearly) any personality.

You’ve already spent a pretty penny on the Apple Watch, but you want to buy a different wristband too. The sport band that comes with the Apple Watch sport edition is great and easy to put on, but it’s missing the classic, minimalist style I so cherish. Yet, both Apple and third-party watch bands tend to be around $75 on the low-end and can reach over $250: you’ve got to be kidding. That’s why I set out to build a list of beautiful, classy, and/or radical Apple Watch bands you can buy for under $50.
