IKEA is known for its furniture, but it\u2019s the little odds and ends that can easily justify a visit on their own. Phone accessories are no exception. Here are some of the best you can currently find at the store, and you may also be able to order them online if you don\u2019t have an IKEA in your area.<\/p>\n
Full disclosure: I don’t have all of these products. I only own one, which I’ve saved for the end. For the others, I’ve scoured IKEA’s site to find prices that are so low they’re hard to ignore as well as designs I know from personal experience are immensely practical, even though I may have used another brand.<\/p>\n
Availability will depend on where you live and which store you\u2019re using. You can check this on IKEA\u2019s website using the links below. If you can\u2019t find a product, try a different nearby store and reserve pickup to avoid disappointment.<\/p>\n
HAVREKROSS wall organizer<\/p>\n
Many of us are taking active steps to cut down on our phone usage. One approach is to have a designated place to put your phone when you get home or when you enter certain rooms deemed phone-free zones, like a bedroom. IKEA\u2019s HAVREKROSS wall organizer<\/a> is a viable home for your phone in either location. Mount this near your door, and before you can sit down and start scrolling, place your phone down somewhere that’s away from where you’d want to use it.<\/p>\n If charging is a concern, you can mount this down low so that it\u2019s near a charger. Or you can simply mount it above a power outlet and have the power cord stretch up. At under $2, it\u2019s even cheaper than buying your phone a nice little tray to rest in instead.<\/p>\n V\u00c4STM\u00c4RKE MagSafe wireless charger<\/p>\n As an Android user who prefers to use my phones naked<\/a>, I haven\u2019t yet grown accustomed to MagSafe accessories. But I can tell you, I have looked upon the ecosystem with envy, and the V\u00c4STM\u00c4RKE charging stand<\/a> is no exception.<\/p>\n \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b<\/p>\n Why? Because most chargers are kind of ugly, and this one isn\u2019t. Thanks to the cork base, this wireless charger adds a taste of the living world to spaces that are otherwise plastic and glass shrines to tech. I\u2019d love to keep this on the corner of my desk, looking attractive both when it is and isn\u2019t in use. You\u2019ll need to pair it with a USB-C charger, though, and if you\u2019re going to buy one separately, it might as well be a fast one.<\/p>\n SJ\u00d6SS 45W charger<\/p>\n IKEA sells multiple chargers under the same name, but the SJ\u00d6SS 45W charger<\/a> is the one to get. While 45 watts is hardly the fasting charger out there, it\u2019s enough to charge at the max speeds that most Apple, Google, and Samsung devices can handle.<\/p>\n \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bwat<\/p>\n 45 watts is plenty fast for me. In my house, we primarily charge our phones using portable power banks pushing out 22.5\u201330W<\/a>, which is enough to max out the 25W charging speed in the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Fold 6 that my wife and I carry. If you\u2019re not the kind of shopper who specifically purchased a OnePlus 15<\/a> to get 120W charging, a 45W charging block will treat you just fine, and $25 is a good price for one capable of charging two devices at once.<\/p>\n KRUBBET phone stand<\/p>\n I\u2019ve written before that my favorite phone accessory is a cheap stand<\/a>, and I stand by that. I\u2019m typing these words on a Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 propped up by a cheap stand that came with a Bluetooth keyboard. By comparison, the $4 KRUBBET phone stand<\/a> from IKEA looks like luxury.<\/p>\n The nice thing about these cheap stands is they have so many uses. They\u2019re great when watching a video. They\u2019re good for video calls. They\u2019re good for typing without using the virtual keyboard. They\u2019re also a way to charge a device upright using a standard USB-C cable.<\/p>\n Vivalla tablet stand<\/p>\n I hear you. This one, technically, is for tablets \u2014but it\u2019s the nature of phone stands and tablet stands alike to do double duty. The Vivalla tablet stand<\/a> can hold a smartphone and a small tablet side by side, or you can place your phone next to a cookbook if you\u2019re working in the kitchen. Or you can do without the phone and just use it to hold your cookbook.<\/p>\n Part of the Vivalla\u2019s appeal, aside from its looks, is its sheer versatility. You can hang this stand from a towel bar in the bathroom. You can hang it from a bar in the kitchen, placing the recipe on your phone closer to eye level and keeping your countertop clear.<\/p>\n I personally like this stand because it feels like a proper home for a phone or tablet in front of a Bluetooth keyboard compared to the small stands on this list. For someone like me whose mobile device serves as their primary PC, a stand like this does the hardware justice. That said, you may want to put something at the bottom underneath your device, since the lip of the stand does block the very bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n
