Have you ever struggled to keep your wireless earbuds, chargers, cables, and battery packs in order? We feel your pain. But getting a tech pouch — a home for all our essential charging accessories and tiny gadgets — can really level up your organization.

After testing tech products and dealing with countless cables and adapters for more than a decade, I can personally confirm these products are essential for keeping me sane and organized. I can no longer imagine not having one in my laptop bag. Over the years, I found such accessories to be incredibly helpful in keeping my desk neat, organizing my go-to gear while attending events and traveling, and, best of all, knowing where all my tech essentials are when I need them.

Today, true wireless earbuds, smartwatches, and other accessories like USB hubs are more prevalent than ever. With so many small products widely available, a tech organizer is a must-have accessory, whether you are looking to organize your own gear or gift to your loved one. A tech pouch could make a slick Father’s Day gift or high school graduation gift to help dads and grads stow their tech in an orderly fashion.

Thankfully, there are tons of quality tech pouches to consider from leading accessory brands such as Bellroy, Peak Design, and Native Union, to name a few. That’s why I am constantly parsing through new products and revisiting old favorites to determine the best worth buying.

The Best Tech Pouches

What to Consider

Capacity

Capacity is the most important thing to consider before choosing your tech pouch. The more interior space, pockets, and organizers a product has, the better. Ideally, the product you pick should be able to easily accommodate a charging brick, a backup battery pack, a charging cable (or three), and your wireless earbuds. However, if you’re using it for travel, you may consider a smaller one that fits just the essentials.

Craftsmanship and Durability

The tech pouch should store your gadgets and items and protect them. You should look for accessories with a durable exterior, a zipper closure, and a soft interior lining. The latter is also essential for protecting your items from scratching. Water-repellent exteriors are also worth keeping an eye out for, especially if you plan to frequently use the accessory while out and about.

When it comes to craftsmanship and tactility, spending more on a tech pouch will get you more premium materials such as leather or felt, to name a couple. The zippers and closures are all but guaranteed to be nicer, too.

Find the best one for your needs and budget among these thoroughly scrutinized tech pouches.

Origami-Style Tech Pouch

The Peak Design tech pouch is deservedly a longtime favorite of ours. It’s elegant, durable, spacious, versatile, reasonably priced, and backed by a lifetime warranty. Its origami-style interior has countless pockets and compartments, allowing you to easily fit all your small items. Its many miniature slots allowed me to find a spot for my go-to portable SSD, microSD card, and USB flash drive, among other tiny tech bits.

As a bonus, the weatherproof exterior of the tech pouch is made from recycled nylon fabric. The latter has a nice textured finish, and I felt like I was using a pricier product while testing it. You can order the product in several colors.

Tech Case

The tech case by Mujjo — a brand with a stellar track record in making excellent iPhone cases — is an excellent alternative to our top pick from Peak Design. The product offers considerably more storage capacity than its rival (3 versus 2 liters) at a moderately higher price point. Its interior can easily accommodate bigger items than its rival (e.g., camera body without a lens, gaming controller, etc.), though it could use more compartments for small items.

The tech case’s build consists of recycled nylon with a waterproof lining and vegan leather. You can order the Mujjo accessory in black or navy blue.

Hard EVA Travel Case

This is the most affordable tech organizer worth your attention. Sporting an impulse-buy sticker that hovers around $10, the accessory has a shockproof exterior with dual zipper closure. Its interior has a mesh pocket and an elastic band, allowing it to accommodate various small tech items.

You can order the tech organizer in several colors: black, silver, pink, purple, red, and a couple of shades of blue. Product iterations with smaller and bigger storage capacities are also available.

Stow Lite W.F.A. Tech Organizer

The Stow Lite W.F.A. organizer by Native Union is incredibly compact without skimping on storage space. During the weeks I trialed it as my go-to tech pouch, the accessory impressed me by accommodating my AirPods Pro, an external storage drive, a portable battery pack, and other essential gadgets.

Native Union crafted the product using eco-friendly polyester from plastic bottles, recycled leather, and other sustainable materials. The product’s leather accents were cleverly placed at points of frequent contact, making it feel more luxurious. A version of the Stow Lite W.F.A. in black is also available.

Tech Kit

The Bellroy tech kit has an elegant design and an impressively compact footprint without cutting corners in storage space. Despite its minimalist looks, the accessory has a generously sized interior with several stretch pockets to go with cable and item organizers.

The product is crafted from recycled fabric with a water-resistant finish. You can order it in multiple colors, including special editions. Every tech kit has a sturdy zipper with a leather or fabric handle.

Techfolio PRO Leather Cord Organizer

Pad & Quill’s Techfolio PRO leather cord organizer stands out with an elaborate storage layout and impeccable workmanship. The accessory is handmade using American full-grain leather, felt fabric for its interior lining, and parachute-grade thread for its stitching. Each cord organizer rocks the signature of the artisan who crafted it.

The storage capabilities of the Pad & Quill organizer are just as remarkable as its build. The product has 21 storage compartments, including zippered pockets. Its main cover has a characterful and decidedly old-school rivet closure.

Tech Dopp Kit

This beautiful tech Dopp kit by Harber London is handcrafted in Spain using premium leather. Available in black, deep brown, navy, and tan, the splurgeworthy accessory offers ample storage space for tech gadgets and accessories. I had no trouble fitting an Xbox controller alongside my wall charger and a few cables.

The soft fabric interior of the pouch has pockets and slots for stashing cables and other small items. I tip my hat to Harber London for including a magnetic leather key chain with a matching finish and a dedicated interior slot alongside it. A cheaper and more compact version is also available.

Electronics Organizer

The Smof tech organizer is the one to get if storage capacity is your biggest priority. The reasonably priced accessory has not one, but two zippered compartments and plenty of internal pockets and straps for stashing devices and accessories for them. The setup includes a handy zippered pocket that can fit an iPad mini.

Remarkably, the tech organizer comes bundled with three storage dividers, allowing you to customize the layout of its main compartment — which is excellent for carrying camera gear and other big-ticket gadgets. The product has a durable multilayer fabric exterior available in black, navy, and light blue.

Ruck R60 Case

Pelican’s Ruck R60 case is the toughest on this list. Its hardshell exterior is crush- and dust-resistant, and thanks to its IP68 rating, it’s fully waterproof too. The product can help your gadgets and accessories survive submersions of up to 2 meters in water (almost 7 feet) for more than 30 minutes.

The interior of the accessory has both divider trays and handy organizer straps. You can order the Ruck case in several sizes and colors.

Dapper Wrapper Accessory Storage

As its name suggests, the Dapper Wrapper by STM Goods has a clever and convenient wraparound design, which will allow you to adjust its footprint and storage setup. When fully open, the accessory offers variously sized pockets and compartments, including one with a zipper. When folded, it has a dependable magnetic closure.

Available in several colors, the Dapper Wrapper has an eco-friendly fabric exterior with a dirt- and water-repellent coating.

Stow Organizer

Native Union’s Stow organizer has an eye-catching design, headlined by a multitude of textured finishes. They include various water-repellent fabrics and genuine leather accents for its duo of zippers. This pouch has plenty of pockets and organizers for your items, as well as a quick-access exterior pocket without a closure.

You can order the accessory in indigo, sage, or slate. Native Union offers an even more affordable Stow Lite organizer as well.

Leather Tech Organizer

Designed in Sweden, the minimalist Woolnut tech organizer is crafted from luxurious full-grain leather with exceptional tactility. Its sturdy metal zipper is just as lovely to interact with. During weeks of testing, the accessory’s workmanship brought me a sense of occasion every time I reached for it.

The product has a sturdy hard-side exterior (in black, blue, cognac, and green) and a recycled polyester interior with several pockets and elastic straps to hold your gadgets and accessories. However, while nowhere near as sleek and rugged, the softer leather pouch from Harber London has a more flexible interior.
