It’s got a spacious inner compartment with dedicated space for gym clothes or shoes, mesh pockets, a felt sleeve, and even a pack pocket for your passport or phone. Plus, there's a built-in laptop case on the outside. It also comes with an extra pouch that snaps on and off the front of the backpack — perfect for any essentials you’d like quick access to. Oh, and we can’t forget its trolley sleeve that lets you secure it to any suitcase handle. It’s basically a traveler's dream. ($195, Monos)
A slim tech organizer perfect for slipping into a backpack…
Or tote or purse. It’s got multiple interior pockets for cords, pens, pencils, chargers, and other gadgets, and elastic loops to keep everything in place. Mesh panels make it easy to spot your stuff at a glance. Plus, there’s an outer pocket for your wallet or ID. It comes in three solid colors and a few fun patterns (like a cheetah print or cloud design), and measures 9.5 x 7 x 1.5 inches. ($38, Calpak)
A laptop case that’ll have you traveling in style…
This 16-inch puffy case provides added protection so you can have peace of mind while road tripping (or flying) with your most valuable companion. Oh, and it’s machine-washable and comes in a number of fun prints too. Safe travels, coming right up. ($28, Baggu)
A cord pouch that corrals your wires into a single, organized place…

It’s also a convenient place to stash other essentials, like lip balm, earbuds, or even a small bottle of hand sanitizer. So while you’re on the go, you’ll have all your charging accessories together. A pouch that doubles as a purse organizer? Yes, please. ($29, Day Owl)
A travel case that’ll fit your tablet too…
It’s got a lot of space, with four separate sleeves with zippers, mesh pockets, and elastic bands. It comes in three different sizes, and the biggest one has a built-in tablet case. Choose from eight colors and patterns, all made from the same water-resistant fabric, and get going. ($11.49+, Amazon)
A shockproof bag organizer to keep your tech safe…
It’s small enough to toss in your purse, and sturdy enough to keep your cords and wires safe and sound. (Note that it can’t fit chargers thicker than 1.2 inches.) Plus, it comes in 10 colors made from the same smooth EVA material. BRB, adding to cart. ($9.99, Amazon)

A floral AirPods case for any gen…
The cases come in a handful of different floral patterns and all have lighting port access so you won’t have to take it off to charge ’em.
