the contenders

Olloclip Active Lens Set

iPhone 7 photographers have been able to raise their game significantly since the arrival of the Olloclip Active Lens Set, a nifty duo comprising a Telephoto 2x lens and an Ultra-Wide lense. A patented attachment system automatically aligns each lens with the iPhone’s camera, making it ideal for fast-paced shooting.

Tech21 Evo Check Case

Here at T3 we’ve dropped a fair few phones between the team, so we know all about quality smartphone cases – and the Evo Check Case is one of our favourites. It offers a generous drop height of three metres, and features reinforced bumpers, flush cutouts for ports and buttons, plus an ergonomic grip.

Mophie Juice Pack Air

Sick of running out of smartphone juice? Us too, which is why we nominated the awesome Mophie Juice Pack Air (for iPhone 7) for a T3 Award. This Qi-compatible beauty has saved our bacon a few times now, extending the battery life of our overworked phones by up to a whopping 27 hours.

Native Union Dock+ Marble Edition

Marble has been a major trend in home interiors this past year, so why not get a smartphone dock that’s been carved out of the stuff too? Native Union’s Dock+ Lightning Marble Edition might be pricey, but it’ll look damn fine sitting on your bedside table. It comes with a colour-matched, four-foot Lightning cable.

Insta360 Air

This is always an exciting category at the T3 Awards, as you’ll inevitably come across something as genuinely useful as the Insta360 Air – this clip-on gadget will transform your handset into a 360-degree camera. The Insta360 Air is small, lightweight (26.5g) and ready to elevate smartphone photography.
