Thought Out PED5 Grand iPhone Stand
Venerable stand maker Thought Out is back with another iteration in its product lineup, the PED5 Grand for iPhone. It’s a classic Thought Out stand design, made from solid steel and weighted and balanced for stability. This isn’t your typical lightweight aluminum stand — it’s got a serious heft to it, but we think that’s a good thing for something that you’re going to want to stay in place on your desk or kitchen counter.

With the advanced videography capabilities offered by modern iPhones, for many users the iPhone is the only video camera they use, making camcorders seem like an anachronism. Of course, even with Apple’s advanced image stabilization features, if you’re serious about shooting videos on your iPhone, chances are at some point you’re going to want the benefit of an actual tripod or mount to keep things steady. This is where Joby comes in with its GripTight Pro Video Mount, the latest accessory in its well-known GorillaPod product lineup.

Henge Docks’ premium Gravitas ($69) is still one of the most solid iPhone and iPad docks out there. While it’s still basically the same dock we looked at three years ago, Henge Docks has kept its promise of continuing adapter support to ensure that newer iPhone and iPad models are always supported.

Read MoreBelkin Case + Stand for Apple Pencil
Apple Pencil is a well-regarded peripheral for iPad Pro, so most criticisms of Pencil end up being questions of where you should keep the thing when it’s not in use. Companies have introduced accessories to this end, and some of our favorite iPad Pro cases also offer a holding place for a Pencil. In the same vein, Belkin has introduced Case + Stand for Apple Pencil, which is meant to be an all-in-one solution for Pencil users. Case + Stand does exactly what it claims to do — it’s a storage case for Apple Pencil which doubles as a vertical stand for the peripheral. The case is made of white plastic and gray matte silicone, the latter of which is also found in the recessed tip holder of the stand.

Joby’s GorillaPod Speaker Stand ($40) is designed to hold a Bluetooth speaker, whether to elevate it for a better listening angle, or to keep it away from any kind of undesirable surface. GorillaPod has three flexible, wrappable legs with rubber feet. A platform and cinch cord rest on top of the tripod to firmly hold a small speaker. Underneath that platform is a 1/4”-20 mount, which will allow mountable speakers to attach directly to GorillaPod. Joby claims the tripod can support most Bluetooth speakers weighing up to 2.2 pounds.
