Amazon’s October Prime Day is here, and it’s one of the best times to buy a new phone.
As you can see in our full Prime Day guide, there are some great offers on a range of handsets right now.
If you’ve already secured a phone, or are still happy with your current model, it’s time to shift your attention to accessories. Whether it’s cables, cases, screen protectors or power banks, these products can dramatically improve your smartphone experience.
Here are the best phone accessory deals available in the UK and US at the time of writing.
However, they’re set to expire at 11.59pm tonight (BST in the UK, PDT in the US), or earlier if stock runs out. If you see anything you like the look of, we’d urge you to take advantage while you still can.
Anker 6ft USB-C to USB-C cable
Do you just want a great, inexpensive phone cable that will stand the test of time? Look no further than this Anker one, with the 6ft version (3ft and 10ft are also available) offering great value.
It supports charging speeds of up to 60W (with a compatible wall charger), while the durable braided design is rated to survive 10,000 bends.
Ugreen Qi2 wireless charger
Qi2 is the latest wireless charging standard, enabling magnetic MagSafe-style charging on Android devices. But only the HMD Skyline is compatible so far, so this Ugreen stand is best for people with a recent iPhone (12 or later)
It can charge all recent models at the maximum 15W speeds, with a 2-in-1 design allowing your AirPods to charge at the same time. With a bumper discount, it’s a great option for your bedside table.
CalDigit Thunderbolt 4 cable

Are you often sending lots of files to and from your phone? Rather than making do with the USB-C cable included in the box, get one that can do the job much faster.
This CalDigit one supports Thunderbolt 4 standards, meaning it can reach 40Gbps data transfer speed with compatible devices. Many laptops will work nicely, but not all phones, so check before you buy. But at 2m long, it’s a great option at an attractive price.
Spigen Tough Armor case for iPhone, Samsung and Google
Spigen’s Tough Armor is one of the best cases around, combining top-tier protection with a premium design and built-in kickstand.
Whether you want to use it every day or just while out and about, it’s a great option that will stand the test of time. Spigen makes versions for almost all recent Samsung, Google and Apple flagships, offering full MagSafe support on the latter.
Many models are discounted for Prime Day, making it a great time to pick one up.
Mous Limitless case for iPhone, Samsung and Google
Looking for a sleeker case that still offers solid protection? Mous Limitless is the one for you.
Despite adding almost no bulk to your phone, the carbon fibre design offers drop protection that’s up there with the very best. It’s also impressively customisable, with lots of patterns and devices to choose from.
While a little more expensive than some cases out there, the top-quality design makes it worth it, especially with many versions in the Prime Day sale.
Anker PowerCore 24K power bank
If you’re going to get a portable power bank for your phone, why not get one that can charge your laptop too?
As the name suggests, the Anker PowerCore 24K has a 24,000mAh capacity, meaning it can charge many phones almost five times. And if you combine it with a compatible cable and device, it can reach speeds of up to 140W using Power Delivery 3.1 technology.
While a little on the heavy side, it’s the perfect accessory to take with you while travelling, especially with these big discounts.
Spigen EZ Fit screen protector for iPhone, Samsung and Google
Your phone’s display might look great out of the box, but it can quickly accumulate scratches and other damage.
Guard against it by applying a screen protector as soon as possible. Spigen’s tempered glass ‘EZ Fit’ one is a solid, inexpensive one with models available for many different types of phone.
With a 9H hardness rating, the display remains safe at all times, while it’s compatible with most cases and has no impact on screen brightness. Many versions are discounted for Prime Day, making it a great time to pick one up.
Charmast power bank with built-in cables

As good as the Anker PowerCore 24K is, what if you just need to charge your phone occasionally?
This Charmast power bank is a great affordable alternative, offering a generous 10,000mAh capacity within a thin and light design.
But what sets it apart from rivals are the built-in cables – Lightning, USB-C, USB-A and micro-USB are all included. Whether you have an older iPhone, cheap Android phone or one of the latest devices, you’ll be able to charge it even if you forget your cable.
With a total of six outputs and three charging inputs, it’s an impressively versatile product at an impressively low price for Prime Day.
