01 Carl Friedrik iPhone 7+ Case carlfriedr­ik.com PRICE £60 Fancy vegetable-tanned leather coloured in cognac, black, grey or chocolate, stitched and shaped to fit your favourite phone, with microfibre lining for maximum handset care. T3 says Think this looks nice now? Wait until it has a bit of rugged leather age to it.

02 Hyperkin Smartb oy funstockre­tro.co.uk PRICE £59.99 Originally an April fools joke, now an actual tangible thing: put a modern Samsung phone in, pop in a Game Boy or Game Boy Colour cartridge, and you’re playing classic games in seconds flat. T3 says The best thing is the real buttons – touchscree­n controls be damned!

03 Nokia 3310 nokia.com PRICE £49.99 It’s back and better than ever. Okay, the 3310 is probably the lowest-end phone you’ll find on the market. But for young teens, or just as an emergency backup phone, it’s great; plus it plays Snake! T3 says Take this out, and with a month’s standby time, it’ll outlive any smartphone.

04 Topeak Alien II Bike Multitool topeak.com PRICE £35 Everything you might need to fix a bicycle breakdown on the move, all squashed into a compact package. A time-honoured classic that should be in every cycle bag. T3 says With spanners, screwdrive­rs and hex keys, even non-cyclists will love it.

05 Netg ear Mini Wi-Fi Range extender netgear.com PRICE £19.99 Is your wireless network tantalisin­gly out of reach? Plug this into a wall socket, run through a little setup and it’ll extend your range at pacy wireless N speeds. T3 says There’s an Ethernet socket, so you can also extend your wired reach.

06 Sigg Viva One 0.75L uk.sigg.com PRICE £12.99 It’s BPA-free, so this polypropyl­ene bottle can be refilled and washed as many times as you like, and the neck’s wide enough that you can fill it with ice cubes for a cool and refreshing drink on the move. T3 says A locking spout means this won’t fill your satchel with unwanted fluids.
