You can rock your phone without a case if you want a free alternative! Do practice extreme caution, however, when doing this. As an extra tip, ensure the device's hot part is facing toward an open space!
Switch up your charge cycle during the night. The day is smoking; if you are working from the comforts of home in this weather, you don’t need another factor adding to the heat, especially when it's charging. So switch it up; instead of charging it in the middle of the day, save it for nighttime when everything has cooled off. This will save you the sweat and your gadget's battery in the long run.

Clean your devices and keep them isolated. Yes, even devices need to be isolated, and by that, I mean they shouldn’t be near other tech when they get hot. Our chargers require outlets; since some chords are short, they tend to sit close to each other for the sake of charging. Another thing you can do for your devices like the laptop is check and clean their fans. As mentioned earlier, this will allow better airflow and keep your performance stable.
