With USB-C becoming standard on more and more devices, we figured it was about time we did a round-up of some great USB-C accessories. Whether you’ve just picked up a Google Nexus 6P or 5X, or you’re tapping away on your brand new MacBook, there’s sure to be something useful for you here.
Nomad Road Trip USB-C & Universal Car Charger & 3000mAh Power Bank
Being on the road or commuting to work is tough, and it only gets worse when you run out of battery. Luckily, the Nomad Road Trip has you covered! Containing a USB-C port in addition to a normal USB port you can charge any of your devices simultaneously. The built-in 3000mAh power bank charges while you drive so you’ll never forget to keep it topped up and it’s ideal for a quick boost throughout the day, provided a full charge for most smartphones.
Kidigi Universal USB-C Desktop Charging Dock
Back home though, it’s nice to just rest your phone in an easily accessible place. This Charging dock from Kidigi synchronises and charges any USB-C compatible smartphone (with or without cases) and it also acts as a multimedia stand so you can enjoy videos and movies hands-free.
Xtorm 12,000mAh Powerbank
One of the first power banks to provide both USB Type-C and Qualcomm Quick Charging comes courtesy of Xtorm. With a capacity of 12,000mAh the Xtorm can keep your smartphones, tablets and even laptops (Macbook, Chromebook etc) in action for ages. The Xtorm also includes two USB ports allowing you to charge multiple devices simultaneously.
USB-C Hubs
As mentioned above, it’s going to be a while before everyone moves to USB-C, so in the meantime you’ll likely need a hub. We currently have a few available:

The official USB-C Multiport Adapter from Apple lets you connect your MacBook with USB-C port to a VGA display, while also connecting a standard USB device and a USB Type-C charging cable simultaneously. Great for making more of the single port that comes as standard.
