Summer is knocking on the door and with it comes the season of vacations and shorter trips. When to prepare for them? The ideal time is right now, so you don't stress at the last minute before departure. We have put together tips for you on 6 things that will make your vacations and trips more pleasant and easier.
Swimsuit, towel, sunscreen, sunglasses...
You will definitely not forget these basic items when packing your suitcase. But if you want to enjoy your vacation with your family or friends to the maximum, it's a good idea to think about other practical things that, for example, will protect your smartphone or help you stay connected, even if you don't have access to an outlet.
The waterproof case keeps your phone dry
Going on vacation and not recording moments together by the water? Absolutely unthinkable. However, it is necessary to prepare for water fun in case your mobile phone unexpectedly wants to dive into the water with you.
For such situations, we recommend equipping yourself with a waterproof case , for example pockets from our Float collection are reliable. Whether you are swimming in the sea or going down a wild river, your phone will be protected from water, sand and other dirt. In addition, you don't have to limit yourself in any way, because you can still take photos or record videos despite the waterproof case.
Did you know that Float pockets also protect other electronics from water, including a power bank? In addition to the classic case for one device, you can also choose the Float Twin option with a second separate pocket (e.g. for keys) or a large waterproof bag with a volume of 3 liters.
Start taking pictures before a friend says "selfie"
There is nothing worse than missing a unique moment because you don't have time to take out your mobile phone and prepare it for taking photos/filming.
That's why he packed a practical and reliable selfie stick in his suitcase or backpack. We recommend the MagSnap selfie stick using MagSafe technology . Since it has built-in magnets, just place your mobile phone next to it and you can start taking pictures immediately. Literally before your buddy says "selfie". Of course, there is also a removable remote trigger button or the option to control photography with your watch.
In addition, you don't necessarily have to have an iPhone - with a case supporting MagSafe technology, you can use the MagSnap selfie stick with Samsung phones as well.
Nothing surprises you with the travel adapter
If you're planning to go abroad, don't forget to have a universal travel adapter handy, with which you'll become the "master" of all outlets, whether you're heading to the United States or Asia. This will save you stress and money when you arrive on vacation. Why rush to get an expensive adapter at the airport when you have time to get ready now?
Among the FIXED charging adapters, the Voyager 65 W will serve you well, which is ready for practically all sockets in the world - with the help of pull-out pins, it adapts to the sockets of the countries of the European Union, the USA, as well as countries with the British standard.
The Voyager adapter also works as a charger , even for several devices at the same time, you can easily charge your mobile phone and laptop with it. Safety protection against overheating, overvoltage and short circuit will take care of your peace of mind.
Which outlets you will come across in individual countries
(the FIXED Voyager 65 W adapter is compatible with all of the above):
- Type A socket (America and Japan)
- Type C socket (most European countries, also compatible in the Czech Republic)

- Type G socket (e.g. UK or Malta)
- Type I socket (eg Australia and New Zealand)

Power bank as mandatory equipment
Of course, we mean this with exaggeration, but the truth is that a power bank is often a necessity on the go. Especially if you're going out for a few days under a tent or somewhere else in nature, where you don't have access to an outlet for a long time . It is true that the longer you go on a trip without electricity, the larger the capacity of your power bank should be. But also focus on having enough power.
For FIXED, we recommend the Powerbank Zen20 Pro, which boasts an exceptional power of up to 100 W , which means that you can charge your device faster or that you can easily charge more devices at once. It is also suitable for charging laptops, which is why it is popular with digital nomads.
The tablet holder ensures entertainment even on a long journey
Sometimes there is no choice and you have to take a long car ride to your destination. The good news is that if you gear up properly, your hours in the vehicle will go by much faster. While the driver will fully focus on safe driving, you can watch your favorite movie or series undisturbed in the back seat. Therefore, get a tablet holder ahead of time, which will free your hands.
For example, the fully adjustable Passenger Max aluminum holder is an ideal companion for long car journeys: you can put a tablet up to 12.9" in it and easily attach it to the headrest in front of you.
No case on bike or shot
Even cyclists should prepare for the summer season in time. As soon as you adjust the bike, check that you have all the necessary accessories ready. For example, a case that you attach to the frame or stem and protects your smartphone, wallet, soul or other necessities from bad weather.
The universal FIXED Bikee Bag is perfect for this. It has a volume of 0.5 liters and a waterproof protective layer, through which you can easily control your mobile phone. So you don't have to drag things around in your pockets - you attach them all to the bike case and you're done.
