Gallery: Our Favorite Stuff From CES 2016 That You Can Actually Afford
Josh Valcarcel/WIRED01ces-pepcom-2016-03
[BoomStick](http://www.boomcloud360.com/index.php/boomstick.html/): The $99 device is basically a clicker to boost your mediocre headphones or earbuds. If you don't feel ready to invest in an expensive pair of cans, this gadget is a great way to improve what you've already got, for less than $100 (which, really nice new headphones will easily out-cost).
Polaroid02PolaroidSnap-02
[Polaroid Snap](http://www.polaroid.com/snap-camera): The Polaroid Snap will out-spec exactly nothing, but that's because it's not really a digital camera. The Snap takes photos so you can print them. Sound like it doesn't do a whole lot? Well it's $99. The Snap+, which will include Wi-Fi and an LCD screen, will launch this coming year for under $200 as well.
Satechi03satechi type-c usb
[Satechi Type-C USB Hub](http://www.satechi.net/index.php/computer/type-c-usb-hub-gold): The USB-C revolution is coming for us all, and if you're not quite ready and your devices are going to go through an awkward transition, you'll want to ease it with something like this. There were a handful of USB-C hubs at CES, and this slick model from Satechi is only $35.
Lenovo04Lenovo mouse
[Lenovo Wireless N700 Mouse](http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/itemdetails/888015450/460/0E80436C80A748E6AA76791FC42C9CA3): This crazy-looking little Bluetooth mouse doubles as a remote; you can fold it into a clicker to use for presentations (or whatever). You can buy one now for $60.
Olloclip05olloclip studio
[Olloclip Studio](https://www.olloclip.com/shop/shop/iphone6-6splus-studio/): Olloclip has long made most users favorite little iPhone lenses. The brand showed up at CES with Studio, a new case that supports rail mounting and a handful of other smartphone photography accessories. The whole shebang costs $90.
Snakable06S-Green-Leaf
[Snakable](“http://www.snakable.com/#new-page”): There's nothing flashy about Snakable, it's just a charging cord you can't break. Which, actually, sounds pretty amazing. Go ahead, throw this thing in the bottom of your backpack (otherwise known as the danger zone). It will bend, but not break. You can get it for $30.
PR NEWSWIRE07Ampware Image3
[Ampware, $79:](“http://getampware.com/”) With the new Ampware Case, your phone may literally never die. If you’re ever in an emergency without power for an extended period of time, you can stay connected with this hand crank battery case. Five minutes of turning the foldout handle is supposed to power your phone for up to five hours. It’s not out yet, but you can preorder now to start cranking later.
Joe Brown08[Comply Earphone Tips](“http://www.complyfoam.com/”): So simple, yet so smart. In case you didn't realize it, your earbuds are disgusting and need to be replaced. These are universal and come in styles specific for sound isolation, sports, and comfort. $15 for a pack of four.
