Welcome to 9to5Toys News Weekly – your go-to spot to catch up on the latest new product releases, features, and hands-on reviews. This weekly roundup collects all of the coolest new gadgets, the most interesting updates in the world of tech, and more from the past week, and organizes it into a single handy reading list for you to sift through every Sunday morning.

If you didn’t get a chance to pre-order the new LEGO Game Boy set, worry not, it is now up for sale at Amazon and appears to already be shipping. While it wasn’t scheduled to actually release until October, according to Nintendo, you can indeed scoop one up right now…but there’s also a deal live for Costco members right now too. Details below. 

Amazon really wants you to buy your new Apple Watch there this week – it is undercutting every other retailer on a collection of Apple Watch Series 11 models, as well as the new SE 3, and now we are tracking some light discounts on the new Apple Watch Ultra 3 lineup as well. These are clearly not giant discounts by any means, but for early adopters there’s no sense not keeping a few extra bucks in your pocket – Amazon now has the lowest prices on the new Ultra 3 in black and natural configurations. Details below. 

The next MURAKAMI drop has been revealed. CASETiFY is well known for its crossover projects with major IP, cultural institutions, pop culture franchises, and a whole lot more, but it has now officially announced a new MURAKAMI x CASETiFY Co-lab project that blurs the lines between “art history, pop culture, and personal expression” – a bunch of iPhone 17 cases covered in MURAKAMI FLOWERS. 

Right on cue, the new MUJJO leather iPhone 17 case lineup landed immediately after the new phone’s hit the virtual stage at this year’s “Awe dropping” event in Cupertino. They have been some of the best leather cases for the price for than a couple years, and now it’s time to see how its Full Leather fits on the new iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. 

We have already reviewed the Journey LOC8 URBAN Key Organizer, came away impressed, and featured a series of 20% discounts. But Journey has released a new Universal version of its more premium key organizer multi-tool, this time with both Apple Find My and Android Find Hub support. It is also debuting with a solid 20% launch discount as well. 

Alongside its new leather BookBook case, Twelve South debuted an all-new collection of silicone iPhone 17/Pro and Pro Max cases with matching Apple Watch bands to match. We have now had a chance to test them out in an attempt to answer the glaring question here – why would anyone pay $50 for a Twelve South silicone case when they can get one that looks similar on Amazon for $16? Let’s dive in.

The Xbox Tokyo Game Show 2025 Broadcast delivered a series of new updates and add-on content coming to some major releases, but the headliner announcement was the reveal of Forza Horizon 6. 

It has been a long time coming, but Insomniac has finally given us a seriously good look at its Wolverine game, and it looks wild. Some may have felt it was going to sugar the experience, but this isn’t your neighborhood Spider-Man folks – this thing looks rough, raw, and extremely violent. Just the way we wanted it. 

At today’s State of Play showcase, which capped off with a brand new gameplay trailer for the Insomniac Wolverine game (it looks wild!), Sony also revealed the Pulse Elevate – “Sony Interactive Entertainment’s first wireless speakers for desktop gaming.” 

Okay here we go folks, it’s time to see what PlayStation has in store for us on the next State of Play livestream. Yesterday Sony announced it would be hosting a September State of Play event alongside the TGS festivities and it is all set to kick off this afternoon.

Burton Goods and its beautiful handmade leather cases are back for iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, but today we are taking a closer hands-on look at its brand new iPhone Air case – the Heritage Leather. If you like leather goods, real proper artisanship, and a case the ages beautifully, Burton Goods should be on your radar – but can it keep up with Apple’s awe dropping new ultra-thin iPhone?

Capcom is set to host its Tokyo Game Show livestream this morning. While we are not expecting anything new from the highly-anticipated Resident Evil Requiem, just about every other major Capcom franchise, alongside some of the upcoming titles will be present and going live this morning on YouTube with new details and gameplay footage. 

Logitech is debuting its new Signature Slim Solar+ K980 Keyboard today. Yes it is a solar keyboard, but it’s not quite like any other solar keyboard I have ever used. You never need to charge this one – just the ambient light in your space, natural or otherwise, will keep it juiced indefinitely.

Nomad is back, as expected, with a slate of new sporty and leather cases for iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max, as well as some Air models (more on those to come). I absolutely adored last year’s Nomad Traditional Leather Case for my iPhone 16 Pro – it is the most elegant model in the lineup if you ask me, and now it’s time to see how the new design works with Apple’s Cosmic Orange.

Nintendo just hit us with one of the most epic September showcases in recent memory at the latest Direct, and now Sony is looking to get in on the action as it has just announced the next PlayStation State of Play. Last time around we got a dedicated 30-minute rundown of the new James Bond game, but this week State of Play is returning to form with a relatively sizable showcase of reveals and updates from devs across the globe, including PlayStation Studios. 

Just after Amazon officially revealed this year’s massive fall Prime Day event, followed by details on of the “biggest” Target Circle Week sale yet, Walmart has now officially announced its own giant fall Prime Day competitor sale simply known as, Walmart Deals. 

Apple’s Find My tracking and even Google Find My Device tech to some degree is everywhere now – keychains, wallet cards, water bottles, flashlights, and now…laptop sleeves. Today Journey is debuting its new LOC8 Laptop Sleeve Universal – a “drop-proof” home to both protect and track your MacBook/laptop. It is also 20% off in the cart for launch day. Details below. 

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. The brand is well known for its BookBook covers that present a sort of folio-style case made to look like a vintage book, and it has issued a new model for iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. 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.

It’s iPhone 17 launch weekend and the Apple deals are flying. Not only are we tracking the first price drop on the brand new AirPods Pro 3 at Amazon, but it is also offering some launch deals on the entire collection of official Apple iPhone 17/Pro/Max and iPhone Air cases. All of that joins deals on the new 25W Qi2 MagSafe Charger, the entire M4 MacBook Air lineup at $200 off, all M3 iPad Air models at $150 off, as well as deals on M4 MacBook Pro, Mac mini from $499, iPad mini 7 from $399, and much more. Everything is organized for you down below. 

Just after seeing the first cash discount on the new AirPods Pro 3 this morning, Amazon is also knocking the price down on a range of the official Apple iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air cases this morning as well. This includes the new silicone cases as well as the iPhone Air Bumper case and the new TechWoven models for iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max. You’ll find all of the TechWoven and Silicone models waiting on this landing page, and the iPhone Air models right here. We will dive into some details down below. 

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. Target will run a massive fall sale of its own this year, as we have already reported, and it has now issued a new press release to serve up some more details and an early sneak peek at the deals. 

Over the weekend we caught a bunch of early launch discounts on some of Apple’s latest releases, not the least of which was its brand new AirPods Pro 3. Just after the first deliveries of iPhone 17 and iPhone Air models landed across the country, Amazon started to get aggressive with early discounts on some of the more sought-after accessories for the new handsets, including the first deal on the new AirPods Pro 3, price drops across the entire Apple case collection for iPhone 17, 17 Pro/Max, and iPhone Air, as well as its new MagSafe wallet colors.

It’s time to take a look at some iPhone 17 and iPhone Air screen protectors to safeguard that new Durable Ceramic Shield 2 display.

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

Apple’s new AirPods Pro 3 are now up for pre-order – scope out our hands-on review right here – and Nomad has now revealed its new leather case for the next-generation buds. I truly despise the look of a scratched up AirPods case – you certainly don’t want to have to deal with that if you ever want to trade them in for something new – and if I’m going to cover up the Apple design, I’m going to want to do it in style. 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.
