The Galaxy Note 9 has just been announced and you’re convinced you need one. You’re definitely getting it once they’re available and you can’t be happier. What now?

Well, time for some phone outfits! Er, you know, phone cases. 😅

Thankfully, Samsung has also released a slew of accessories for their newest flagship. Take your pick!

Flashy and sophisticated

When to use: For days when you’re feeling extra

Samsung’s signature cover has always looked good…

… and now, there’s a Clear View Standing cover for the new Note. It’s so shiny!

You can check notifications on your phone without even opening the cover and control stuff from the side of the case.

In some regions, there’s also a lavender version of this case and it looks as amazing as the rest of these.

By the way, did I mention that these cases also double as stands? Yep, awesome.

A rugged solution

When to use: On hikes, beach trips, or random adventures; or for use when you’re inherently a klutz

Are you all about protecting your phone? Are you just plain clumsy?

This Protective Standing Cover may be for you.

They’ve been tested and given a military rating so this means your precious Note is all protected — believe me, I’ve seen this case smashed in front of my face and it survived. 😅

There’s also a tiny stand, which snaps out easily so it won’t ever break. Perfect for comfortably watching stuff on your phone anytime, anywhere.

Even with the case on, you can still do wireless charging! And, I’m going to say it: Reminiscent of Rimowa luggage solutions, these cases make quite an impression.

Au naturelle with a twist

When to use: On lazy days when you’re keeping it real

This is the Note 9’s “just got out of bed look.”

A barely there case that will make sure your phone is protected.

Simple but detailed

When to use: Everyday office look as part of your power dressing

This good-looking case adds a touch of detail to your wardrobe. It’s all in the texture!

This is Samsung’s LED view cover. Of course, you’ll be able to see notifications through the case.

Not only is it pretty, it’s also pretty functional. There’s a card holder, too.

You can control the phone with shortcuts even without opening the case.

There’s also a violet version available in some regions.

Fun and cutesy

When to use: For everyday gallivanting in the metro; the best accessory for casual #OOTDs

Samsung’s version of the silicone case with a colorful twist — an easy cover that adds protection and character to your phone.

It comes in black, blue, white, and violet.

Classic-looking and comfortable

When to use: You’re feeling timeless

For the leather lovers, Samsung has something for you, too.

Their Leather Wallet Cover is made of genuine Italian calf leather.

It has an inner lining which protects your phone and a useful pocket that keeps cards.

There’s also a red one (in some regions) if you want to sass it up.

Bonus: Since I’m on a roll, I didn’t want to stop at cases. Here are some more Note 9 accessories you might find useful.

Wireless Charging Pad

When to use: You’re living your best life and traveling everywhere

This multi-function charging pad will not only charge your Note 9, it will also power up your Galaxy Watch.

Wireless Charger Duo

When to use: For your everyday life because it’s the most efficient thing

Charge your phone and Galaxy Watch wirelessly, and at the same time!

HDMI to USB-C Cable/Adapter

When to use: You’re doing a presentation at work or Netflix and chilling

No need for docks! Project whatever’s on your Note 9 on a bigger monitor with just a cord.

Enjoy your Note 9! 😉

Sony resurrects the WH-1000XM4 with a refreshed model

The return of the king.

For a lot of people (me included), the Sony WH-1000XM4 was the first taste of what Bluetooth headphones could be. It was the first time I desperately wanted a new pair of headphones. It took me until the current XM6 to get a pair, but I can’t forget what came before. And, apparently, neither can Sony.

Today, Sony is resurrecting the WH-1000XM4 with the refreshed WH-1000XM4C. Straying from the lineup’s usual releases, the WH-1000XM4C is the second generation of the universally acclaimed headphones, while the XM6 is still the current flagship model.

It’s not just a simple rerelease, too. Though it still rocks the QN1-based active noise cancellation, the new pair tweaks the sound profile to more closely match the modern standard. It also comes with 10-band and gaming-specific equalizer presets. It will have a slightly smaller battery but with better fast charging to juice up quickly.

The new WH-1000XM4C will be available in Lavender, Black, and Platinum Silver. It will also cost US$ 299.99 — 50 bucks cheaper than the first generation.

Besides the refreshed flagship, Sony is also launching the WH-CH730N, a midrange pair built for commuters, and the WH-CH530, an entry-level pair with more colorful colorway options.

The WH-CH730N will come in White, Pink, Blue, Black, and Oat. It sells for US$ 179.99.

Meanwhile, the WH-CH530 come in Black, Cobalt, Coral, Mint, White, and Pink. It sells for US$ 69.99.

Acer is expanding its storage lineup with the PA100 Portable SSD. It’s a compact external drive designed for users who need faster storage across multiple devices.

The PA100 uses USB 3.2 Gen 1 connectivity. It reaches sequential read speeds of up to 560MB/s and write speeds of up to 430MB/s. This makes it suited for everyday tasks such as transferring large files, backing up content, managing documents, and moving media between devices.

Up to 2TB of portable storage

The PA100 comes in three capacities: 500GB, 1TB, and 2TB. This gives users options depending on whether they need extra space for documents and schoolwork or larger collections of photos, videos, and project files.

Acer also designed the drive with mobility in mind. The PA100 has a slim 9mm profile and a lightweight build, while its reinforced construction is designed to withstand everyday travel and handling.

The drive comes with a 2-in-1 USB-C to USB-C and USB-A cable. This allows it to connect to compatible PCs, tablets, smartphones, and other devices without requiring a separate adapter. It also supports major operating systems and USB-C mobile platforms.

Designed for everyday use

Power efficiency is another focus. Acer says the PA100 uses less than 3W during operation, while idle power consumption can drop to as low as 0.62W.

The drive also features an optimized thermal design to help maintain stable performance during extended transfers and daily workloads.

The Acer PA100 Portable SSD is backed by a three-year limited warranty. Pricing and availability may vary by market.

UGREEN has expanded its MagFlow lineup with three new wireless charging products. The range now covers portable power, desktop charging, and travel.

All three support Qi2 25W charging. UGREEN also focuses on thermal management to keep charging cooler and more consistent.

A cooler power bank

The highlight is the UGREEN MagFlow Pro Magnetic Power Bank 10000mAh 25W. UGREEN calls it the world’s first liquid-cooled Qi2 25W magnetic power bank.

It uses UGREEN’s CryoPulse technology. A micro-pump circulates coolant around key components to draw away heat. A Cyber Window also lets users see the cooling process in real time.

UGREEN says the system can keep peak temperatures up to 18°F below the industry benchmark. The power bank also uses Dymondcell 2.0 high-density ATL cells.

A built-in smart display shows charging power, battery level, cycle count, and cooling status. UGREEN says the power bank can charge an iPhone 17 Pro Max to 50 percent in 40 minutes.

Charging three devices at once

The UGREEN MagFlow Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand 25W targets desktop setups. It can charge an iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods at the same time.

The stand uses CryoPulse TEC active cooling and an ultra-quiet 15dB fan. Its thermoelectric cooling system draws heat away from the charging surface.

UGREEN says the center of the charging surface can reach temperatures as low as 51.8°F. It can also charge an iPhone 17 Pro Max to 50 percent in 26 minutes under its internal testing conditions.

The stand has an adjustable design for easier viewing. A smart display shows charging power and temperature.

A foldable charger for travel

The UGREEN MagFlow 2-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Wireless Charger 25W offers dual-device charging in a compact design.

It can also work as a magnetic phone stand. Users can set it up on a desk or bedside table, or bring it along while traveling.

When folded, the charger takes on a palm-sized clamshell design that fits into a pocket or bag.

All three MagFlow products are available now.

The MagFlow Pro Magnetic Power Bank 10000mAh 25W costs USD 149.99.
The MagFlow Pro 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charging Stand 25W costs USD 159.99.
The MagFlow 2-in-1 Foldable Magnetic Wireless Charger 25W is priced at USD 59.99.

UGREEN sells all three through its official store and Amazon.
