CES has always included a high number of accessory producers showing off add-ons for iPhones, iPads, and other devices, and this year is no exception. Here is AppleInsider's list of notable accessories that made an appearance at the trade show.
Incipio
This year, Incipio is launching a new line of plant-based iPhone cases that are entirely compostable when they are no longer needed.
The new lineup supports the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max and are manufactured with Organicore, a 100% biodegradable material when composted.
"As a leader in device protection, we recognized a need to bring eco-conscious solutions with proven protection to the category," said Brian Stech, CEO of Incipio. "By introducing a 100% compostable alternative to the market, backed by more than 20 years of industry expertise, we are able to provide a wide range of consumers with a slim, protective and quality case option that better serves the planet and our future — so everyone can do their part."
In a composting environment, the Organicore cases can break down in as little as six months. They are able to withstand drops from as high as six feet, support wireless charging, and come in Oatmeal Beige, Stone Gray, Black, and Deep Pine Green.
The cases are available now and retail for $39.99. Incipio says Organicore cases for AirPods, tablets, and other devices will launch in the coming months.
Mophie
The Mopie Powerstation Go is a universal battery that can provide a fair bit more than a normal power bank can offer to users. Mainly, it is capable of providing a jump start to any SUV or full-sized card via its included mini jumper cables.
Providing a giant 44,400mWh of power, the portable unit provides more than enough power to give a boost to a vehicle with a flat battery, though it is also able to be used for more typical purposes as well.
Using dual 2.4A USB-A ports, it can be used to charge two devices at the same time, while the top surface is able to provide wireless charging to any Qi-enabled device at up to 5W. An included 115V AC output is also available for charging notebooks and powering other devices, outputting at up to 65 Watts.
Even though it can hold enough power to jumpstart a car, the unit is still lightweight and portable, able to be held in a bag or stored in a glove compartment. As with many other power banks, it also offer an LED flashlight.
The Mophie Powerstation Go is available now on HSN.com for $159.95, and from Mophie's website from January 9. The power bank is available in a variety of colors, including Onyx, Cobalt, Flamingo, Camo, Sapphire, and Gold options.
Gear4
Releasing in February, Gear4 is dropping two brand new cases — the Battersea and the Brompton — to keep your 10.2" iPad safe from drops, bumps, scuffs, and more.
The Battersea is an ultra-rugged case that boasts 8-foot drop protection, a built-in screen protector, and a foldable infinity angle stand. The Battersea also features D3O protection, a material used in low-profile, high-impact protection scenarios, such as lining for football helmets, military combat gear, and motorcycle safety equipment.
It's fully compatible with Apple smart keyboards, so no case switching is needed when it's time to sit down and get to work. The slim design means it fits great in messenger bags, backpacks, and is easy to hold. The Battersea iPad case is available in black, and upon release will retail for $79.99.
If you don't need quite as much protection, the Brompton is a slightly sleeker, slightly cheaper case that still gets the job done. Featuring a 6.5-foot drop protection, a three-angle movie stand, and a removable fabric folio, it's perfect for those who are looking for a bit extra protection when taking their iPad on the go.
The Brompton comes in black or rose gold, and upon release will be priced at $49.99.
Pitaka Air Omni
Air Omni is Pitaka's latest charging solution that allows users to power up to six devices at once.
The back has an iPad stand with a quick-changing USB-C or Lightning connector. it sits behind a 5W Qi charging coil for a set of AirPods and an Apple-certified Apple Watch charging puck that lies flat or props up for Nightstand Mode.
Up front is another Qi charger for an iPhone or Android device. What makes the Air Omni really different from the Air Quad is the USB-A and USB-C port on the right side as additional outputs. It also has a small illuminated drawer for holding small objects such as jewelry or SIM cards.
Alogic
Alogic's Dock Wave three-in-one device combines a USB-C hub, high-capacity battery and a wireless charger into a svelte, portable package.
The Dock Wave works as an ideal road warrior solution with up to 60W power pass-through for juicing up an attached MacBook, an HDMI port capable of outputting 4K media at 30Hz and a pair of USB 3.0 (USB-A) connections. SD and micro SD card readers are also packed in, making life easy for those averse to lugging around dongles.
A 5,000mAh battery with LED status indicators is perfect for charging up mobile devices on the go. Built-in 5W wireless charging, accomplished through an inductive coil positioned under soft fabric, means users can also keep their iPhone topped up as they work.
Moshi
Accessory maker Moshi is debuting several new Apple-centric products at CES 2020 that blend Scandinavian design with the latest technology.
The new Moshi IonGo 5K Duo is a compact battery pack that is wrapped in vegan leather and includes an integrated USB-C and Lightning cables for easily charging an iOS or USB-C device. It comes in Azure Blue and will ship in mid-May for $70.

Three small LED status lights sit towards the front to let you know when your devices are charging. Charging Apple Watch supports Nightstand Mode for convenience when bedside.

I’m assuming Mopie is Chinese made... I don’t know any vehicle manufacturer that has the spare tire next to the battery.
Mophie is a US company. A lot of cars have batteries in the trunks nowadays: hybrids, BMWs, Mercedes. Many of those don't have spare tires though. I know for sure the Chrysler 300 does for one...
I wish they had put in a usb-c. Even more that 115V plug in. MacBooks!
