Earlier this spring, Spigen unleashed one of its more compelling Apple Watch Bands. The now $22 Spigen Athlex band is in many ways a far more affordable take on Apple’s own Trail Loop and today as we are taking a look at its new WBF1 Alpine Loop-style band you can score on Amazon for $22 Prime shipped. 

Arc’s Pulse bumper case for iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max and the new iPhone Air are now available for purchase and we have had a chance to test one out for ourselves. These minimalist 2-piece metal bumpers were a popular option among readers last year and it’s time to make sure Arc’s treatment of the new iPhone 17 (Pro in this case) design is just as impressive as it was in year’s past. 

Twelve South – one of our favorite Apple gear accessory makers – is ready to launch its all-new iPhone 17 cases.

But this year it is also introducing a more minimalists, traditional, and clean case collection for Apple’s new iPhone 17 lineup, alongside matching Apple Watch bands.

Amazon’s fall Prime Day sale has been officially revealed and is set to go live the second week of October, but the “biggest Target Circle Week yet” is looking to take it head on.

One of the highlights of last year’s case back offerings came courtesy of Matter HT (formerly Atom Studios).

Nomad makes some of the best leather accessories out there and the new Modern Leather Case for AirPods Pro 3 is now up for pre-order alongside its new iPhone 17 case lineup.

Update: Pre-orders on physical copies of the new Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 bundle are now live at Walmart and Target. 

Tomorrow is the 40th anniversary for Super Mario Bros. and Nintendo is ready to celebrate. During today’s Direct presentation it debuted a ton of exciting updates and new releases for Mario’s 40th, including a new teaser trailer and confirmation of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. However, on top of that we are also getting a new Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 bundle release as well as two new companion amiibo figures too. 

As we have already detailed, pre-orders on the new Apple Watch Series 11 wearables are now live at Apple and Amazon. That said, if you have some free store credit at Amazon, you might be able to score one for less over there (we have featured a ton of promotions with FREE Amazon credit attached over the last month or more), and Best Buy is offering some elevated trade-in values on Series 10 (and other models) that can knock $180 or more off your new Apple Watch Series 11. 

Apple has now officially unleashed its next-generation iPhone 17 lineup, Apple Watch Series 11, Apple Watch SE3, Apple Watch Ultra 3, and the new AirPods Pro 3.

Nintendo’s big September Direct went live yesterday with big-time announcements for Mario’s 40th anniversary, release dates for titles like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and some exciting new titles revealed for early next year. We have already detailed the new Super Mario Galaxy + Galaxy 2 bundle as well as Virtual Boy for Switch Online and the new hardware, among others, but just about all of the new titles and amiibo Nintendo had on display yesterday are now up for pre-order at Amazon. 

Pre-orders have now landed on the new Apple Watch Ultra 3, alongside the savings opportunities we featured on the new Apple Watch Series 11 and AirPods Pro 3. Amazon now has listings live on the latest flagship Apple wearable, but Best Buy is now offering a $50 off to its members alongside some trade-in options – it just might not be the best option.

Much like we featured this morning on the new Apple Watch Series 11, pre-orders are now live on the new AirPods Pro 3. If you have some free store credit at Amazon, you might want to grab them there, and Best Buy has some deals to consider as well. As of right now, it does not look like Apple is accepting trades towards its new pro-grade AirPods, but Best Buy is delivering a FREE $20 store credit for members on top of some trade-in value for your previous set. 

Nintendo’s big September Direct is a wrap and it certainly did not disappoint for Mario’s big 40th anniversary. The first Super Mario Bros. game released almost exactly 40 years ago and Nintendo unsheathed this year’s celebration with a host of key announcements in the form of upgraded versions of beloved Mario classics, a new Switch 2 Edition of one of the best 2D Mario games of the modern era, the official announcement of The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, a new Yoshi game, the new Mario Tennis experience, and a even a talking flower. 

Today’s Nintendo Direct is a wrap and it has now announced the release date for its big holiday Switch 2 release – Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. This is one of those games we knew about in an official capacity well before Switch 2 was even a thing, but it was also one of the more anticipated Switch 2 titles we knew about that didn’t have a release date…until now. 

The new Qi2.2 25W MagSafe stands are starting to come out of the woodwork now, and one of the models that might be flying under your radar is now at a new Amazon all-time low. The official KU XIU Amazon storefront is now offering its new X40 Turbo 3-in-1 Qi2.2 25W Magnetic Wireless Charger down at $71.99 shipped after you clip the on-page coupon. This one launched on Amazon earlier today at $100 and is now seeing a notable launch deal for the lowest price we have tracked. 

Update 9/12: The new ASTRO BOT Joyful Limited Edition DualSense controller is now available for purchase at Walmart and Target, among others.

• Target ASTRO BOT Joyful Limited Edition

Update 9/12: Pre-orders for the new Astro Bot Joyful edition DualSense will go live this morning at 7 a.m. PT/10 a.m. PT directly from Sony, and we are expecting to see “participating” retailers with units as well. You’ll want to be ready ahead of the official start time if you’re going with direct.playstation.com – the virtual queue tends to open ahead of time.

Back in June Sony officially revealed a new edition of its beloved and equally as adorable Astro Bot DualSense controller. We got our first look at the new controller a few months back, but Sony has announced when you’ll actually be able to get your hands on one. 

Here we go! It’s Nintendo Direct day. Outside of the reveal and eventual release of Switch 2, today is arguably the biggest day of the year thus far for Nintendo gamers. Nintendo is set to host a massive Nintendo Direct livestream this morning, and it, by all accounts, looks like it’s going to be a big meaty one, filled with the new games and perhaps some big-time surprises. 

Nintendo Direct goes live this morning, and it’s going to be a big one folks. Nintendo has not been tight about livestream events in this the year of its new next-generation console, from three major dedicated showcases for its biggest new Switch 2 game releases, as well as an IndieWorld and a Partner Showcase that perhaps seemed worse then they were just because Silksong wasn’t in them. But Silksong has released, and we already have all the details and a release date on the new Kirby Air Riders – today’s show is going to be one of the biggest Nintendo Direct livestreams ever and the first proper showing since Switch 2 barely had a chance to touch down on store shelves before we all scooped them up.  

The first big animated Super Mario Bros. movie was beloved by just about everyone, and a major success for Nintendo. We already know it is officially in the lab on the sequel, or at least the next Mario movie, and with the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. just days away, we could be in for a major reveal. Considering tomorrow will see the biggest and longest proper Nintendo Direct basically ever, that reveal could be happening much sooner than later – right after leaks surfaced suggesting the next Mario movie is headed to the stars.
