Want a cool, tactical look for Mom’s AirPods Pro, not to mention solid protection? Try the Elkson AirPods Pro Military Bumper Hang Case.

The case features an exoskeleton and hybrid shell (TPU and PC). The materials provide protection against mud, dust and moisture.

To provide the best protection, Elkson’s Exia Series AirPod Case encloses the AirPods Pro with a small rubber lip at the opening. The lip pushes a small amount of air into a gap within the case that absorbs and dissipates impacts from drops or falls.

The case allows access to the sync button on the back of the AirPods Pro case for Bluetooth pairing, so no need to pull out the charging case. With support for wired and wireless charging and an LED indicator light, keeping your earbuds powered is a breeze.

If your mom doesn’t have a protective case for her iPhone 14, or if it’s getting old and warn, you can help her safeguard her iPhone against bumps, scrapes and drops with a Laut Shield case.

The case features a durable hybrid design with two layers of protection. A semi-soft inner layer cradles the handset, plus a hard-plastic outer shell takes the force of impact. Together they make Shield a good all-around protection solution.

And the case’s tactile buttons ensure the iPhone’s button work great and have their own layer of protection.

All of this advanced impact technology — designed by Laut — makes the Shield case drop-resistant at heights up to 14 feet, even though the case keeps a slim profile. That’s some solid drop protection compared to many cases.

You can choose a case for any of the four iPhone 14 handsets. They come in six colors: black, bubblegum pink, fog gray, lilac, navy and olive.

Price: $24.99 $12.12

Rilee & Lo’s unique, stretch-link design for its metal Apple Watch bands is patented. The band fits like a proverbial glove. Rilee & Lo’s luxury bands are manufactured with precision and intended to up the ante in Apple Watch straps, the company said.

Even though the band is made from stainless steel, it sports a comfortable, close fit that is fashionable in the office and functional in the gym. The adapter is also stainless steel with a shiny silver finish.

Brand owners Johanna Ferguson and Nick Grossi, who have both worked in tech and jewelry design, designed the band, finding a natural marriage of the two genres in Rilee & Lo.

Bands are available in XS/S, S/M, M/L and L/XL sizes.

A note about the new Apple Watch sizes: All of the bands will fit the new, larger Apple Watches. If you have the new 45mm Apple Watch, it’ll work with the old 42mm straps. And the new 41mm Apple Watch works with the old 38mm straps.

Price: $40 $30
