Gate-side phone cases and chargers in T1
Mobo in Terminal 1 at Guadalajara Airport sits airside, so you can duck in after security for last-minute tech accessories before boarding. It’s a Mexican chain focused on phone gear: cases, screen protectors, basic audio, and power banks. Expect mall-style kiosk pricing rather than street prices, but it still beats arriving at your destination with a dead phone and no cable.
You’ll see racks of cases for current iPhone and Samsung models, plus some mid-range Android brands that are common in Mexico. Basic USB-C and Lightning cables usually run in the mid-price range compared with other T1 shops, and you can pick up a small power bank that should cover at least one full phone charge on a long GDL–LAX or GDL–DFW hop. Packaging is all retail-sealed, so you’re not gambling on secondhand gear.
Mobo sits among the other Terminal 1 retail spots before you hit the main cluster of international gates, so it works as a quick stop on the way to US flights like GDL–IAH or GDL–JFK. Staff typically handle simple installs, so if you buy a tempered glass protector they can usually apply it for you in a couple of minutes, which is useful if you’re cutting it close to boarding.
Cards are accepted, and prices ring up in MXN, which helps compared with some duty-free corners that quote in USD first. Tip: check your current cable and brick before you leave home; if you only need one item, buy it here and skip the more touristy electronics options deeper in Terminal 1.
