(4) Tech Accessories I Never Travel Without

Brent Osborn • July 12, 2019

Do you have items that you swear by and need to take with you every time you travel? Because I find myself on the road quite frequently I am always packing bags. While away, I want to stay connected and that requires packing a few extra items to stay productive.


Here are my top tech accessory picks that I never leave home without:


Herschel Padded iPad Case

I overpack. Generally, my bags are filled to the brim with things I think I may need because I never want to get caught without something. This is why my padded case for my tablet is a must! I feel peace of mind knowing that the case is helping to protect my device in its overcrowded bag from anything that may be packed next to it or bump up to it in the process of traveling about. For me, the investment made perfect sense and I have not regretted it.

Stylus for iPad

It was not long ago that I finally recognized the need for a stylus. I began using my tablet more and more when I was on the road in lieu of getting out my laptop, which can take up too much room, especially on a flight. Using the stylus helps me better access and navigate the applications I'm using with more precision. And, the stylus helps me create better doodles which is one way that I pass the time when I'm too tired to read, and none of the inflight entertainment options are appealing.


Portable Charger

Not having power for all of your gadgets can feel crippling when there is not an available power outlet in sight. Thankfully, the choices for portable chargers are plentiful and the prices have come down significantly over the years- in some cases, making them as affordable as buying a new power cord itself. The portable chargers available today range from the size of a roll of quarters and having just enough juice to power up your cell phone, to some having the capability of jump starting your vehicle. If you opt for the beefier model that can jump start your vehicle, double check your model is approved by your airline and TSA for air travel as some restrictions may apply.


Cocoon GRID-IT!

Let's face it, if you have electronics you inevitably will need cords and lots of other small accessories to go along with them. The challenge of having so many of these things without organization can produce frustrating results. Ever pull out your headphones from your bag and somehow they come out knotted regardless of how nicely you put them away last time? The GRID-IT is a system of elastic straps at varying lengths and intervals that allow you to neatly and snugly find a place for each of you things. The best part is when you go to retrieve them, you can do so very easy without disturbing the other things around it.


These, and many other tech accessories make my life on the road much easier.

When packing tech you can never have too many helpful accessories to accompany you on your journey.
