"The 12000mAh capacity is perfect, providing multiple full charges for my smartphone and even enough juice to top up my tablet. I was particularly impressed with the 22.5W fast charging capability, which powers up my devices quickly—my iPhone 16 reached 50% in under 30 minutes!"
Another said: "Very competitively priced and stylish too which you don't often get. It has a very clear display showing charge level when being used and recharged. Biggest plus for me is fast charge function is supported so charges my phone very quickly."
A third reviewer wrote: "I bought one of these ahead of a family holiday earlier this year and it's great - it's about the same size as my Iphone, it charges quickly and holds its charge. The digital display is really useful - previous power packs I've had didn't offer that so you never really knew how much power was left in them.
"I've just bought a second one of these ready for our next holiday because when travelling with children with phones and tablets you can never have too much spare charge!"
However, one customer said: "I've been using mine now for the past 4 days, it charges my phone very fast. Although it takes a while for the power bank to get charged, when charged it does an amazing job for my gadgets."

Textiles Recycling Expo makes successful debut in Brussels
The first Textiles Recycling Expo took place in Brussels on 4-5 June 2025 and has been heralded as a landmark gathering for the industry, bringing together key stakeholders and promoting discussion, collaboration and innovation. The event attracted 126 exhibitors and 3,336 visitors from 67 countries, making it the largest ever meeting focused on textiles recycling. The audience came from across Europe and beyond, with 12% travelling from Africa, Asia and America. Attendees represented the complete supply chain, from major waste management organisations and pioneering recyclers through to textile manufacturers and leading clothing and retail brands. The latter included sustainability specialists from companies such as Aldi, Burberry, C&A, Chanel, Decathlon, Diesel, Gucci, H&M, Hermes, Ikea, Lidl, M&S, Nike, Oxfam, Patagonia, Primark, Puma, Tommy Hilfiger, Uniqlo and Zara. With leading brands, innovators, and policymakers converging under one roof, the expo emphasized the need for collaborative action to promote sustainability, adopt effective recycling technologies, and build a circular economy. Credits: Textiles Recycling Expo Aurel Ciobanu-Dordea, Director for Circular Economy at the European Commission, gave the opening presentation and remarked on both the energy of the event and the impressive technologies on display. The buzz at the expo was reflected in numerous comments on LinkedIn and social media, including attendees describing it as 'bustling, energetic and full of momentum', and as 'a breakthrough week for circular fashion'. Event Manager, Zied Chetoui said: 'We are thrilled with the overwhelming response to the first-ever Textiles Recycling Expo. The enthusiastic participation certainly demonstrates the industry's commitment to sustainability and innovation. This event has undoubtedly laid a strong foundation for the future of textile recycling and set a high standard for what we can achieve together.' The exhibition featured a global array of suppliers of cutting-edge technologies and services to increase textiles recycling rates. Highlights included live demonstrations of innovative sorting systems by Valvan and NewRetex. Credits: Textiles Recycling Expo Another popular feature was the conference theatre, which was packed out throughout the two-day event. More than 50 expert speakers discussed the latest developments in regulations, technologies, recycling projects and practical ways to increase waste recovery rates. The exhibition benefited from the widespread support of key industry associations, organisations and consortia, including ReHubs, EURATEX, Accelerating Circularity, Fedustria, Denim Deal, EuRIC and the Textile Recycling Association. Several took part in the expo's Industry Alliance Hub, which provided a lively meeting place for promoting discussion and collaboration. The Textiles Recycling Expo has not only highlighted the critical importance of recycling in the textile sector but also inspired new collaborations and initiatives aimed at creating a more sustainable future and truly reflects the exciting momentum that is building for the industry. The next Textiles Recycling Expo will take place in Charlotte, NC, USA on 29-30 April 2026, and the European event will return to Brussels Expo on 24-25 June 2026. Spaces at both exhibitions are already filling up fast.

These staff-favorite phone cases will keep your device safe
Ever have your phone fly out of your hands walking down the street, the stairs or while you're just sitting at home? Us too. Thankfully everyone on team NBC Select uses a phone case, so sudden drops and flings don't lead to sudden repair bills. That's because a phone case made of the right materials, fit to your specific phone model can protect your phone from most everyday damage, according to our experts. We spoke with experts within the case industry to learn more about what's most important when buying a new phone case. Plus we rounded up our favorite cases, which we've used for years to protect our devices. How we picked the best phone cases We spoke with industry professionals from case brands like Otterbox and Casetify — because they work at brands that sell phone cases, we did not ask them for product recommendations and instead focused on product design and general best practices. Combing their advice with our experience, we selected products keeping the following in mind: Fit: A phone case can't do its job if it doesn't fit your phone. All of our top picks are available for a variety of phone models. Wireless charging compatible: Most smartphones nowadays can charge wirelessly — Android phones over Qi charging, iPhones using MagSafe. We prefer phone cases that let you charge wirelessly without taking them off. Style: A phone case needs to be practical, but let's face it: most of us also want it to fit our taste. Almost all of our top picks come in multiple styles and colorways. The best phone cases Nearly all of our top picks are NBC Select picks we've used for years, with no phone scratches, dings or nicks to show for it. All the below cases are listed for iPhone 16, but are available for a wide range of smartphones. Best overall Multiple NBC Select staffers love Burga phone cases. The brand sent a few for the team to try out, and we think the Tough case strikes a great balance between durability, design and price. It has a silicone interior and hard shell exterior, plus raised edges around the screen and rear cameras for added drop protection. NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin practically flings her phone across the room multiple times a day, and her phone hasn't gotten any nicks or scratches yet. NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio drops her phone a lot, and has used Casetify phone cases for the past five years. While the cases have worn down, her phone has never gotten a scratch, been dinged or broken. Her favorite model is the Impact series, which offers good protection and has lots of designs to choose from. Budget pick NBC Select commerce editor Jordan Bowman has used this slim, discrete case for over a year on his previous phone. While it is not the most durable, it does provide enough protection for most everyday use, and it's more affordable than our other recommendations. 'I dropped it while running once and the phone hit the ground — only the case had a scratch, and my phone was left completely unscathed,' says Bowman. If you're willing to go a little thicker, the brand also makes a more durable Shockproof case for a similar price. If your priorities are solely protection and durability, this case from an NBC Select favorite brand is the one to get. It's Otterbox's most protective case, with significant corner and all-around cushioning to keep your phone protected from all angles. It also has a removable cover over the charging port so you can keep dust, debris and liquids out. For folks who don't want to carry a wallet, handbag or purse, Malin and NBC Select SEO editor Nikki Brown recommend the Bandolier Hailer. It's a crossbody style case with straps and a built-in wallet so you have all your essentials on your body at all times. You can fit up to five cards in the wallet according to the brand, but Brown has fit up to 10 without anything tearing. Plus the leather is resilient and durable, says Brown. How to shop for a phone case Shopping for a new phone almost always means shopping for a new phone case, in my experience. If you're in the market for a new case, our experts recommend keeping the following in mind while shopping: Consider protection and drop resistance Drop height claims are not well controlled and testing methods can vary from brand to brand, says Doug Kempel, vice president of engineering at Otter Products. While there is not a set standard, many brands use the Military Standard MIL-STD-810G to evaluate a product's ruggedness, durability and limits, says Vincent Au, head of product at Casetify. Pay careful attention to how each brand talks about durability, and consider how often (or rarely) you drop your phone on a daily basis. If you drop your phone often, or use your phone around power tools, on your bike, or at the beach often, consider a more durable case design with thicker rails and bumpers around the screen, camera and corners of your phone. Know what kind of phone you have A phone case made for the iPhone 12 will not fit an iPhone 15 Pro very well, if at all. Be sure to get a case that matches your phone exactly. Consider a waterproof case, if you need one Most phones these days have strong dust and water resistance in the form of a high IP rating. The iPhone 16, for example, has an IP68 rating, meaning it is dust-resistant and can withstand being fully submerged in up to 19.5 feet of water for about 30 minutes. Still, if you plan on using your phone in consistently wet conditions, especially around saltwater, consider a waterproof case, says Kempel. Fully waterproof cases can sometimes make a phone harder to use, and water seals can degrade over time, says Au. Meet our experts At NBC Select, we work with experts who have specialized knowledge and authority based on relevant training and/or experience. We also take steps to ensure all expert advice and recommendations are made independently and without undisclosed financial conflicts of interest. Why trust NBC Select? Harry Rabinowitz is a reporter at NBC Select who covers technology and fitness including recent stories on smartwatches, headphones and cameras. For this piece, he spoke with NBC Select staff about their favorite phone cases and interviewed case product professionals within the industry. Any inclusion of phone case brands on our list was made independently of our experts.

As part of the partnership, Credit Choice will be enhanced with the Elan Credit Card program to offer integrated digital technology that combines both debit and credit card account information for consumer and small business cardholders within each financial institution's digital card management solution. This reimagined user experience will be more robust and engaging for the end user, as customers can access credit and debit card information and servicing all in a single place. In addition, financial institutions will have easier access to the tools they need to onboard and service their cardholders, reducing friction and improving the ability to easily reach new potential card relationships. 'Integrating an agent card into the client financial institution banking application is truly groundbreaking,' said Peter Klukken, head of credit card issuing for Elan Financial Services. 'We're excited about this relationship and look forward to offering a new, seamlessly integrated technology experience to even more banks and credit unions.' The collaboration will accelerate this summer, with innovative, integrated technology underway and full conversion of the portfolio by the end of 2025. Throughout this time, Fiserv will continue to offer support, training, and program engagement, as well as onboard new financial institutions to Credit Choice. 'We're introducing a new level of digital card integration along with exceptional service and capabilities to the Credit Choice solution,' said Erik Wichita, head of Card Services at Fiserv. 'Our clients need self-service customer journeys and easy to navigate platforms for their cardholders to drive loyalty and increased usage. This collaboration brings two great industry leaders together for one solution.' The enhanced Credit Choice program will be available to U.S.-based banks and credit unions via a new or existing relationship with Fiserv. Users of the new platform will have access to Elan's trusted suite of agent-issuing capabilities. Fiserv's digital card solutions for consumer and business card and expense management will be integrated in the first half of 2026.
