Last month I was scrolling through X and came across an iPhone 15 case from the Aulumu brand. This immediately caught my attention and I began to take a closer look at this brand. They had an extremely unique look and aesthetic. Their accessories looked like they belonged in a Cyberpunk video game, but they were still minimalistic enough that I liked them. I tend to go ultra-minimal when it comes to accessories, but Aulumu was able to add a few details to their design that gave it some character without overwhelming it. I saw that they had a ton of iPhone accessories, so I had to pick them up and see if they lived up to my new high expectations – wow, was I surprised. Let me show you what I mean.
Let’s get straight to the point. They offer two different types of cases: A15 Vegan Leather Cases and A15 Translucent Cases. Vegan leather cases are my personal favorite. They strike a fantastic balance of being protective without being too bulky; they also feel and look great thanks to the choice of material. Most of the body is made from vegan leather, but there are some metallic accents, like the “cooling fan” on the back, that just add to the look. They also used a matte black color for the buttons, including the action button and camera bump. The buttons are very pleasant to the touch and a pleasure to press. The choice of color allows you to create a stunning Stormtrooper look with the white version of the case. If you want a more discreet look, they also offer an all-black case.

Aulumu also offers a range of translucent cases that will give you the same aesthetic, but in a slightly different way. However, it’s a great option, especially if you want to show off the color of your new iPhone 15 Pro Max. These cases are actually a bit stiffer and stiffer. This rigidity provides even more protection for your new iPhone. They also have amazingly clickable buttons that are satisfying. All of these cases are MagSafe compatible, work with screen protectors, and are also passively cooled.
Aulumu MagSafe accessories
I’m a sucker for trusty MagSafe accessories, whether it’s a battery, a wallet, or something else entirely. But the main thing for me is that I like my MagSafe accessories to serve multiple functions, and Aulumu has really nailed it here. All of these accessories are compatible with the iPhone 12 lineup and later!

G05 MagSafe 4 in 1 stand
I had to start with their G05 accessory first because it is the most unique MagSafe accessory I have ever used. First of all, the looks are amazing. It’s a round magnet with an arm sticking out to the side. It’s made entirely of metal and gives you some feedback as you spin, the magnets are absurdly strong, and it has an ace up its sleeve. G05 has four different modes to choose from. You can use the metal bracket to hold your phone vertically and horizontally, and you can also use it as a handle to hold your phone more securely. What’s amazing is that you can easily remove the stand, but what comes out is a small 3mm thick ceramic utility knife. I’m always looking for a knife when unpacking and now it’s built into this stand. The box cutter is spring-loaded so it will never just pop out, and it’s only 3mm thick so you won’t be able to do much damage beyond just cutting tape or opening mail. This accessory is now simply irreplaceable for me and is a wonderful gift.
G02 MagSafe Wallet Stand
Wallet stand G02 is another multifunctional accessory from Aulumu. Of course, it serves its main purpose – to be a wallet. It has a compartment designed to hold three cards, but I was able to fit four as long as they weren’t metal cards. Typically, these vegan leather wallets begin to stretch over time. So, as far as other brands are concerned, after using their wallets for a while I have had situations where the cards just fell out if I held the wallet upside down. Aulumu actually added a little hard lip that almost closes in the cards so that this never happens, which is genius. It also has a small slot where you can slide your cards out, and there’s a window inside to show your ID if needed.
As I said, this is a multi-functional accessory, so it also has a great hinge that allows you to use your wallet as a stand. You can view your iPhone in portrait, landscape, and TV mode.
M03 MagSafe battery
Aulumu also offers a MagSafe battery pack that matches their design perfectly. The power bank gives you an extra 3500mAh battery and 5W power output. So it’s not a fast wireless charger, but if you need an extra charge during a long day, it will help. It’s also one of the thinnest battery packs you’ll ever come across, measuring just 13mm thick and weighing 110g. It also manages to fit a metal stand, so it does what a wallet does: give you Three additional stand modes and can charge your device in one go. It also has a cool smart battery indicator in the shape of a wire, so as it gets low the wire will start to lose its indicators.
This charging station has to be one of the best designed ones I’ve ever used. First of all, the way it is packaged is absolutely amazing. It comes in a slim, flat box to help reduce waste. The charger lays flat, and once you take it out, you can leave it flat or unfold it to turn it into a stand. It has the same style as all the other accessories we’ve mentioned and is more than just a charger. It includes:
15W MagSafe Charging fast charging. 5W charging pad for Airpods. Charger for Apple Watch, 2.5 W. USB-C output with 10W charging support. Small adjustable night light with 3 modes.
You can charge all your Apple devices with this thing and have an extra port if you need to connect a fourth device. It’s easy to take with you because it folds completely, but it can also double as your stationary charger as it props up to form a great stand. It also supports the new sleep mode on iOS 17. The night light is a cool touch too! My only gripe is that I wish the Apple Watch charger was propped up as well, because if you’re using a closed loop band like a solo loop, you’ll have to take one side off to lay it flat for charging. It’s not a problem for me, but I know some people might not like it.
Pricing, Availability and Final Thoughts
All of these accessories are available today on the Aulumu website and ship very quickly. The price is as follows:
These accessories will make a great holiday gift for someone or even yourself. What’s nice is that they work great as separate products or together. If I were to purchase just one of these, I’d lean toward the vegan leather stand or case just because of how unique they are. Personally, I’m a big fan of this brand and they’ve actually been around for a while, so they have experience making iPhone cases.
I also haven’t even mentioned their accessories for AirPods and MacBooks, which are awesome in their own right!
