WHAT TO LOOK FOR IN A TECH POUCH
Size: If bulkier items like GaN chargers and powerbanks are part of your tech bag, consider larger pouches with softer, more flexible shells that fit odd-shaped items more easily.
Materials: Pouches made from tough, water-resistant materials protect your belongings from spills.
Compartments and internal layout: You’ll probably need a mix of zippered compartments, elastic loops and mesh pockets to keep cables and accessories in place.
Protection: The pouch should have enough padding to protect your gear from shocks and bumps.
Versatility: Some tech pouches can be converted into slings, so you get two accessories in one.
Style: Tech pouches are prominent desk accessories. If aesthetics matter to you, get a design that suits your personal style and gives you office bragging rights.
Why tech pouches are popular
Remember when the only tech accessories you really needed were a good mouse, keyboard and mousepad? Neither can we.
If you switch bags often – for travel or simply because you like carrying different bags – storing your tech essentials in one case makes this much easier. They also provide additional protection for electronics and can help ensure small items like SD cards don’t go missing.
It also becomes much easier to find accessories when you need them. Say goodbye to hunting in your backpack for a USB-C cable or backup pair of wired earbuds.
