Whether you’re kayaking, boating or just heading to the pool or beach it’s critical to keep your cellphone dry and safe. That’s why I love this waterproof phone pouch. It snaps and locks to protect your phone from water, dust, sand and dirt while maintaining full touch screen capabilities. The clear windows on the front and back mean you can still take photos.

One of the nearly 70k reviewers claims his phone was found after a week in a lake and was bone dry! That’s impressive.

With warm weather and extended sunlight we’re bound to be out all day long. That means our phone batteries may need a boost.

I’m loving this portable solar power bank that features multiple ports so you can charge up to three devices at the same time! You’re also getting a flashlight and compass which, according to 31k reviewers, can really come in handy.

Whether you’re mapping out your trail or listening to some tunes, you need a good phone mount for your bike — this one has over 50k positive reviews. The mount grips your phone using two points of contact — a horizontal plastic grip AND a silicone net. That mea it won't shift, even in tough terrain. It works with bikes, motorcycles, stable exercise bikes and scooters. It's also compatible with dozens of smartphone sizes, too.

This hands-free portable neck fan has a huge fan base for good reason! Folks love it for outdoor summer events and exercise, but they also use it to keep cool while grilling, applying make up, sitting at their desk or to relieve hot flashes. It rotates a full 360 degrees and lasts 6 hours on a single charge. And if you’re feeling festive, it offers seven colorful light modes. Now that’s cool.

Reviewers recommend sizing up, and of course picking up more than one of the whopping 44 color options available. I couldn’t click ‘add to cart’ any quicker!
