Quick Picks — Best Budget Accessories

Cases Under A$50

ESR HaloLock Kickstand Case — A$25

Our favourite budget iPhone 17 Pro Max case. MagSafe compatible, includes a fold-out kickstand for landscape and portrait viewing, and provides 1.2m drop protection. The frosted translucent back looks premium for the price. Available on Amazon AU.

For a deeper comparison with other cases, see our full best iPhone 17 cases guide.

Spigen Tough Armor MagFit — A$39

If protection matters more than slimness, the Tough Armor is the best sub-A$50 option. Military-grade drop protection with an integrated kickstand and MagSafe compatibility. It adds bulk, but it's the case that survives drops onto bathroom tiles without flinching.

Caseology Nano Pop — A$29

The best-looking budget case. Two-tone colour combinations that stand out without being excessive. MagSafe compatible, decent 1.2m drop protection, and the silicone sides provide excellent grip.

Screen Protectors Under A$30

amFilm OneTouch (3-pack) — A$14

Three tempered glass protectors with an alignment frame for A$14. That's under A$5 per protector. Glass quality is solid, touch sensitivity is excellent, and the oleophobic coating handles fingerprints well enough for the first few weeks. At this price, replace it when the coating wears.

Spigen GlasTR EZ Fit (2-pack) — A$22

Slightly better glass quality and a superior installation tray compared to amFilm. The oleophobic coating lasts longer, and the EZ Fit alignment system is essentially foolproof. Worth the A$8 premium over amFilm if you want a protector that lasts 6+ months without showing wear.

Chargers Under A$50

UGREEN Nexode Mini 20W — A$18

The cheapest effective fast charger for iPhone 17 Pro Max. 20W delivers 0–50% in about 30 minutes. Compact enough for travel, reliable enough for daily use. If you only charge one phone, this is all you need.

Anker Nano II 30W — A$32

Worth the step up if you also charge an iPad or want the fastest possible iPhone charging. 30W output, GaN technology for a compact form factor, and folding prongs for travel. The charger we recommend most often.

Belkin BoostCharge Pro 40W Dual — A$45

Two USB-C ports at 20W each — perfect for charging two iPhones simultaneously, or an iPhone and an iPad. Useful for couples sharing a nightstand or a desk with multiple devices.

Cables Under A$25

UGREEN USB-C Braided (2m) — A$16

The 2-metre braided nylon cable that reaches your bedside table from any power point. 60W rated, durable construction, and cheap enough to buy a spare. Our default cable recommendation.

Anker 543 USB-C (1.8m) — A$22

Double-braided nylon rated to 25,000 bends. 100W capable. If you want a cable that lasts years rather than months, this is the one. The A$6 premium over UGREEN buys noticeably better durability.

MagSafe Accessories Under A$50

Spigen OneTap Pro Car Mount — A$35

A strong magnetic car mount that doesn't include wireless charging (keeping the price low). Holds the iPhone 17 Pro Max firmly over potholes and speed bumps. Available in vent-clip and dashboard versions on Amazon AU.

Anker MagGo Qi2 Charger Pad — A$32

A flat MagSafe charging pad that snaps onto your phone and charges at 15W. Perfect for a desk or nightstand. Not as fast as Apple's 25W MagSafe charger, but less than half the price.

ESR HaloLock Wallet Stand — A$29

Combines a 3-card wallet with a fold-out kickstand. Magnetic attachment is firm, the kickstand works in both orientations, and it's a fraction of Apple's A$89 wallet price. The best value MagSafe wallet we've tested.

FAQ

Are budget iPhone accessories safe to use?

Yes, from reputable brands. Every product on this list is from an established brand (ESR, Spigen, UGREEN, Anker, Belkin, amFilm) with proper safety certifications. Avoid unbranded products under A$10 from unknown sellers.

Do I really need a screen protector and a case?

Both are recommended. Cases protect against drops; screen protectors protect against scratches from keys, sand, and pocket grit. A$39 combined (case + protector) is cheap insurance on a A$2,199 phone.

Will budget MagSafe accessories work as well as Apple's?

Mostly yes. The magnetic grip on third-party accessories is typically 80–90% as strong as Apple's. For chargers, Qi2-certified third-party options charge at the same 15W speed as MagSafe. Only Apple's own charger reaches 25W on iPhone 17.

Where's the best place to buy iPhone accessories in Australia?

Amazon AU typically has the best prices and fastest delivery for the brands on this list. JB Hi-Fi and Officeworks are good alternatives if you prefer in-store pickup. Apple Store AU for Apple-branded accessories only.
