Sorry folks, summer’s over. Yeah we’re sad too. On the upside though it’s time to get back to school. That means lots of new information and lots of opportunity to put your favorite personal device to good use. We’ve gathered some of the best deals on the coolest and most useful schooltime peripherals for your iPhone — a 3 pack of MFi-certified Lightning cables, a 64GB iOS flash drive, a powerful stylus with Adobe integration, and a set of futuristic bone conduction headphones. Take a look for more details, and happy studying!

Coming up short on storage is frustrating and all too common, and the solutions often come with their own drawbacks. Upping drive space usually means adding a bulky external drive to your computer bag, or having an SD card sticking out the side of your laptop. Nifty’s MiniDrive Air offers a much less irritating solution, with a MicroSD adapter that disappears into the contour of the computer while adding serious storage. No wonder it’s been one of our hottest deals this month — right now you can get a MiniDrive for $33.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

It’s hard to know if we’re doing enough to protect our online identities and data these days.

It’s a major upgrade for a major part of your (hopefully) daily routine, and right now you can get a Splash Tunes speaker for $19.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Each week, we get a boatload of gadgets and gear at great discounts. Of course there are always some deals that stand out, and this week is no exception — this round, we’ve got a seamless storage upgrade for your Macbook, a year’s access to one of the largest libraries of streaming content anywhere, an iPhone case that’ll also charge your device, and a lifetime of VPN protection, all at slashed prices. Take a gander:

Cupping your hand around the iPhone speaker just isn’t cutting it anymore. If you’re looking to get a groove from your mobile devices while keeping them mobile, your best bet is a portable Bluetooth speaker like the Double Spot by Soundfreaq. It’s slim, sounds great, goes anywhere, and right now you can get one for just $79.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Who even has a video library anymore? With streaming services offering any media you can imagine, there’s no reason to film up your house with what’s just a click away anyway. It’s easy to think that flagship services like Netflix and Hulu boast the biggest media-bearing clouds, but SelectTV offers both cable and web-based streaming backed up by the deepest media coffers around. And right now you can get a full year of access for just $19, or get three years for $49.

We enjoy our iPhones for different reasons — the many uses, the stylish design. One thing we all want though is to make sure our prized device is protected, which is why we’ve gathered this diverse collection of cases. From a tough case that doubles battery life, to a case that will adhere to nearly any surface, and a pair of stylish wallet/case combos, there’s something for any iPhone user. Take a look:

You’re not alone in your Pokémon Go habit. And let’s be honest, you’ve probably found yourself with a dead or dying battery on more than one occasion on a long-running hunt.

The PokeCharger is a portable 3,300mAh battery pack — styled like a Poké Ball — that can charge your phone back up at twice the speed of a wall charger. And right now you can get a PokeCharger for $39.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

No one needs to be told why they should protect their important data and accounts with a strong password. Most people — at least anyone who’s had to apologize to their contact list for a strange scam email from their account — are also aware that their passwords are pretty easy to crack. That’s what Sticky Password Premium is designed to prevent. It’s a simple but powerful tool for randomly generating new passwords for your accounts at the time of login, all controlled from a single master code. And right now you can get lifelong access to Sticky Password for just $24.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

This week’s saw some especially tempting deals, so we’ve done what we always do and gathered the best of the bunch. From a replacement set of Lightning cables, to an external battery that’s basically a portable wall outlet, a seamless solution to add gigs of space to your hard drive, and a set of sports-ready bluetooth headphones. This is the top of the week’s heap, folks — take a look:

There’s a leap of faith involved when hitting ‘send’ on important or sensitive information — whether personal correspondence, financial information, location, you name it, there’s someone willing to steal it. One way to take faith out of the equation is by connecting via a virtual private network, or VPN. SaferVPN a quick and reliable connection that’s encrypted and accessible with a single click. And right now you can get a lifetime of SaferVPN for just $49 at Cult of Mac Deals.

We could all use an extra couple hundred gigs of space on our MacBook, but no one is excited about having a bulky and expensive external drive sticking out of their computer. Hence the appeal of Nifty’s MiniDrive, which seamlessly adds up to 200GB to your MacBook without altering the laptop’s sleek profile.

This is a great, reliable alternative to cloud-based storage or more bulky options like USB drives, and right now you can get one for just $33.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

The slim Lightning cables that come with our iPhones serve as their lifeline, but they sure are fragile. If you’ve had one for more than a few weeks, you’ve seen it get frayed, cut, scuffed, and generally put through the ringer. It’s only sensible to have a backup lying around, or three — right now you can get a trio of MFi-certified Lightning cables for a big discount, $21.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Is your living room like a boneyard for old remotes? In the age of smart devices, having a separate plastic brick for each appliance in our home seems pretty dumb. Blumoo went ahead and did the logical thing, creating an app that turns your Android or iPhone (or Apple Watch) into a universal remote for your A/V devices. For a limited time, you can get it for $47.99 at Cult of Mac Deals.

Traveling puts you in many situations where your mobile device or laptop need juice but there’s none to be found. It’s a problem you can avoid entirely by bringing the power you need with you, which is a lot more convenient than it sounds.
