Earlier this month, Twelve South launched the ButterFly 2-in-1 MagSafe Charger, and it may be the best multi-device travel charger that's come out to date.

When folded up, the ButterFly is just two inches around and fits in a palm or a pocket, making it easy to transport....

This month Twelve South launched a new accessory for the iMac, iMac Pro, and external displays, called the "Curve Riser."

From a materials standpoint, the Curve Riser matches Twelve South's established...

Twelve South last month introduced its newest product, the AirSnap case designed to work with Apple's AirPods. Priced at $29.99, the AirSnap is made from a supple, full-grain leather that molds around the AirPods for a perfect fit.
