If you saw the above photo as an Instagram ad, you’d think it belongs to another trendy online startup selling travel accessories. That’s what I thought after coming across Motile on my phone.
Upon further research, however, I learned that Motile is actually an in-house tech and smart travel brand from Walmart that launched in late 2018.
In many ways, it’s reminiscent of Target’s own line of attractive tech accessories, Heyday, or perhaps Amazon’s more simple AmazonBasics collection. Solving everyday tech needs like charging and protecting, the accessories are efficient and functional, but also sleek and surprisingly stylish. Importantly, they’re also all really affordable.
Motile brings additional utility and style to the category by offering bags and incorporating thoughtful "smart" features into them. Mainly, they get the name "smart" because they feature a built-in (and removable) charger, but they’re also clever in the traditional sense by including a variety of pockets for different needs and taking your active, busy lifestyles into account.

Understanding the latest trends in fabric and materials preferences, Motile sells neoprene bags and vegan leather phone cases. Neoprene, the scuba-like rubber that you thought you’d only need for deep sea dives, is equally effective out of the water and perfect for keeping your belongings protected and dry. Meanwhile, leather makes anything look good. High-quality vegan leather looks and feels just like the real thing, but without the high cost or ethical consequences. Motile’s leather is available in a variety of handsome colors including Bone and Camel.
The whole Motile collection ranges in price from $7 to $80, but the bulk of accessories will only run you $15 to $30. You can get leather phone cases for a reasonable $15, a Bluetooth speaker for $35, and more. We’ve highlighted some of our favorite affordable picks from Motile below, or you can shop everything from Motile at Walmart here.
