You know CASETiFY? The smartphone case company? Of course you do. Well it has turned its best-selling Bounce case for iPhone and other devices into carry-on luggage and we are hands-on today to give it a run for its money and drop down some impressions for folks.

We recently put up our master Nintendo Switch 2 guide, collating all of the details, leaks, and rumors that have surfaced on the next-generation console. Next up, some alleged 3D renders of the Switch 2 dock from historically reliable leaker. While we have already caught  glimpse of the Switch 2 dock in the first-look trailer Nintendo revealed, these supposed official renders of the actual dock give us a 3D look and perhaps some additional details alongside some renders of the Joy-Con Grip and charger. 

This afternoon’s roundup of the best prices courtesy of Google Play are now ready to go. On your way down, be sure to scope out the deals we are tracking on GoPro’s HERO 12 Black Creator Edition at $150 off as well as this $100 price drop on Acer’s latest Chromebook Plus Spin 714 with the Intel Core Ultra, Samsung’s 32-inch M7 4K Smart Monitor at $100 off, and the new super budget-friendly Galaxy A16 back at the $175 Amazon low. As for the apps, highlight include titles like Swim Out, Through the Ages, Galaxy Trucker, Chicken Police, and more. Head below for a closer look. 

While we did happen to coincidentally spot some of these deals popping yesterday (that is what we do after all), Nomad has now officially launched a wide-ranging overstock sale featuring a number of its newer releases for iPhone 16 alongside some bundle offers that combine its wonderful MagSafe chargers with its premium cables and wall chargers too. Head below for a closer look. 

Happy Pokémon Day 2025 Trainers! This year’s celebration lands 29 years to the day since the original Pokémon video games were released in Japan, but perhaps more importantly will almost certainly give us another good look at the upcoming new Pokémon Legends: Z-A game scheduled to come to Switch this year, and quite possibly for Switch 2. The real celebration kicks off this morning with an official Pokémon Presents live stream and you can catch it all down below. 

In an industry where prices just seem to keep going up on both software and hardware, Sony has just announced an official price cut coming to PlayStation VR2. The PS VR2 system has seen its fair share of direct competition from the likes of Meta Quest 3 and others, but Sony is now looking to get more aggressive with its recommended retail pricing on its current-generation PS VR2 to entice gamers to jump into its virtual reality gaming platform through 2025 and into the holiday season come year’s end. 

Update: Journey is now offering a 20% launch deal on the new LOC8 URBAN Find My Key Organizer – discount applies at checkout. 

While we are now tracking a light 10% price drop on the standard models with Find My, Journey has quietly introduced a new, more premium model of its LOC8 Key Organizer, this time with the same Apple tracking and a higher-end Nappa leather finish. Now available for purchase in your choice of three color designs, you can get a closer look below at the new Journey LOC8 URBAN Key Organizer with Find My. 

Your mid-week lineup of the best App Store prices drops for your iPhone and iPad are now ready to go down below. On your way down be sure to scope out the deals we are tracking today on Apple’s 16-inch M4 Pro MacBook Pro with 48GB as well as Belkin’s wireless auto-tracking Apple DockKit 15W MagSafe charging stand, this $150 price drop on the 11-inch 512GB M4 iPad Pro, and these Apple Watch Series 10 deals from $231. As for the apps, highlights include titles like Clue: Classic Edition, Codenames, Galaxy Trucker Pocket, Queen Rules, and more. Head below for a closer look. 

Earlier this month Apple’s Beats brand finally unleashed the next-generation Powerbeats Pro 2. After getting a chance to test them out, we said “they’re better in every way” while delivering built-in heart rate monitoring. For some, they easily give the AirPods Pro 2 a run for their money, if not for any other reason than the more secure fit made possible by the now somewhat iconic ear hook design. One thing they are not is on sale – if they are anything like the previous Beats earbuds release, it will be several months before we see a price drop. And that’s where Best Buy’s trade options come into play. Details below. 

Amazon event day has arrived. As we reported previously, Amazon is set to take the stage in New York City today to host a live event promising to reveal “what’s next” from the brand’s in-house tech divisions and Alexa teams. Officially dubbed the Amazon Devices & Services event, everything is set to kick off at 10 a.m. ET and we will have a running live blog below to keep you posted on all of the latest gear and Alexa updates going live on stage this morning down below. 

Elevation Lab has been on a role already in 2025 with a series of new innovations and mounts for Apple’s AirTag item locators. While there might be a new AirTag 2 on the way this year, there’s also a ton of current-gen AirTags out there and Elevation Lab delivers some of the very best ways to put them to use or re-purpose them. Its latest solution has arrived, the new TagVault AirTag Camera. This metal and carbon fiber composite accessory is designed to neatly and securely hide an AirTag in a universal tripod plate. Now available for purchase via the band’s official Amazon storefront, you can get more details and a closer look down below. 

Samsung is still offering some major price drops as part of its hangover Presidents’ Day sale. There are serious chances to save on the brand new S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra not to mention straight up $230 price drops on Galaxy Watch Ultra, among other things, but the deals are also carrying over to its latest Galaxy Tab S10+/Ultra models. You’ll find the S10+ with straight $100 price drops and $120 off the S10 Ultra in both colors alongside bonus add-on offers – solid discounts for sure. That said, you’ll want to head below for a closer look at the Amazon deals today as select models are now even lower and you can score these tablets at a massive $400 off with an S25 purchase.

February feels like it’s taking forever and March might be even worse as Mario Day 2025 will likely just be a reminder of how much longer we will have to wait for Nintendo Switch 2 to actually launch. But we will all just need to be patient at this point, as the scheduled Switch 2 Direct presentation is landing on April 2 and just about everyone presumes pre-orders will go live shortly after that. But when is Switch 2 going to actually release Nintendo? And how much is it going to cost? We need to know and we need to know soon. While these question will likely get answered in early April, a former Nintendo sales strategist has made some public predictions that might end up being the most accurate information we have seen yet. 

While are still tracking some notable deals on the smaller Galaxy Tab S9 FE, the deals have also arrived on the larger Tab S9 FE+. Over on the Samsung site you’ll find all colors and storage capacity options seeing solid $150 price drops with deals at $449.99 shipped on the 128GB model and $549.99 shipped on the 256GB variant. Scroll down to the trade-in section and choose “No, Get $150 Samsung Instant Savings” to redeem the deals. Regularly $600 and $700, respectively, these deals are also live on Amazon, but you will find one particularly configuration for a touch less – the silver 256GB model is now selling for $539 shipped there.

Good morning and welcome to Best of 9to5Toys Weekly – a one-stop shop for all of the week’s best deals on Apple gear, Samsung and Android tech, accessories for smartphones and Macs, intelligent household upgrades, and even deals to update your wardrobe.

The big-time post launch Samsung S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra smartphone deals roll on this weekend alongside major price drops on Apple’s 15-inch 16GB M3 MacBook Air, Apple Watch Series 10, and the most affordable 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro. But we are also tracking a massive $500 price drop on Breville’s touchscreen Impress Espresso Machine and plenty of clothing offers from lululemon, Joe’s New Balance, Eddie Bauer, and more. Everything awaits below.

Samsung is giving folks another shot at saving big on its brand new S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra flagship smartphone this weekend. While there were some major pre-order offers up for grabs before the phone started shipping, the Samsung site is not only still offering massive trade-in credit that can knock as much $900 off your order, but it has also brought back the FREE credit action, delivering as much $300 in add-on credit – this can yield massive discounts on add-on gear as well double the storage capacity on your S25 device for FREE. The details await below. 

Mario Day 2025, or MAR10, is just around the corner now, and it looks like this year’s bundle has already “leaked” at Best Buy. In fact, you can already buy it right now. While this year’s Mario Day celebration might be a touch underwhelming for some considering it’s going to land roughly a month before the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct showcase and subsequent pre-orders for the next-generation console, but Nintendo clearly thinks its current-generation OLED console still has some fire left in it as the new Super Mario Bros. Wonder bundle is now up for sale at $349. 

We are ready to cap off the work week in Android app deals courtesy of the latest Google Play price drops. Just be sure to stop by the deals we are tracking right now on SanDisk’s new 2TB 2,000MB/s Creator Pro portable SSD as well as GameSir’s X3 Pro see-through mobile game controller, even lower pricing on Galaxy Tab S9 FE, and some sweet Galaxy Watch 7 deals – $60 off plus a FREE $70 band or from just $68 with an S25 purchase. As for the apps, highlights include some freebie icon packs as well as Lovecraft’s Untold Stories, 911 Operator, BE-A Walker, Breaking Gates, and more. Hit the jump for a closer look. 

Anker debuted a pair of new display-equipped chargers at CES this year (reviews on the way for those), but neither of them offered up the versatility I was after in the way its latest Prime Power Bank does. It is also a more compact solution, providing both entirely portable power bank functionality while also doubling as a wall charger – this is exactly what I needed for my EDC, so let’s find out what this thing is like in hand and what it’s like to actually use. 

Amazon is now offering Twelve South Butterfly SE 2-in-1 15W MagSafe Travel Charger down at $79.99 shipped. Regularly $100, this is a straight up 20% price drop and the lowest we can find – it is still up at the full $100 via the online Apple Store of course. After debuting last summer as a more affordable alternative to the standard model with more or less the same specs (2-in-1, 15W charging, and so on), you’re looking at the second-best price to date, having only ever dropped any lower to $70 at Amazon during a Black Friday sale event. 

Friday morning’s roundup of the best App Store price drops are now up for grabs down below. On your way down, be sure to scope out the deals we have today on Apple Watch Series 10 – just about all configurations are back at Black Friday pricing from $329 – alongside a $210 price drop on the 16GB M4 MacBook Pro with a 1TB SSD and, while iPhone 16e pre-orders are now live, you you can now score this unlocked MagSafe iPhone 15 for $100 less ($299 off). As for the apps, highlights include titles like Streets of Rage 4, Dungeon and Puzzles, Retro City Rampage DX, and more. Head below for a closer look. 

The new CASETiFY iPhone 16e cases have surfaced. CASETiFY is one of the more popular smartphone case brands out there, and one that has been so for more than a few years now. Its success is largely hinged on delivering higher quality covers, attractive branding, offering up collections for just about every major smartphone release, and, perhaps even most of all, its massive selection of designs you can choose from. The iPhone 16e models have arrived and they are now available purchase starting from $70 on the eve of pre-orders going live for the new, more affordable iPhone release. 

Thursday afternoon’s collection of the best Android game and app deals are now ready to roll down below. Joining today’s Google Play offers, we also have deals on Samsung’s M8 Smart Monitor at $300 off, a new Amazon low on Chipolo’s wallet card Google Find My Device tracker, and some particularly notable discounts on Galaxy Watch Ultra – it is now $230 off with all color and band options at the ready. As for the apps, highlights include titles like SpongeBob – The Cosmic Shake, Human Fall Flat, Bagatur Chess Engine, Star Survivor, and more. Head below for a closer look. 

Earlier this year Nintendo officially teased an upcoming collaboration with LEGO – an upcoming, brick-built Game Boy set. It will likely be the biggest Nintendo hardware release of the year outside of the Switch 2. At the time of the official reveal, there weren’t many details to go on outside of a teaser video and that it was indeed on the way this year, but a supposedly reliable leaker might have just outed some details on the new LEGO Game Boy along with the price. 

The Ring smart home platform is being expanded today with the debut of the new Ring Outdoor Cam Plus. After a busy 2024 filled with its “first-ever” smart integrated pan-tilt cam, the new pro-grade smart doorbell, and more, the brand is kicking 2025 off with its latest outdoor intelligent surveillance tech. Now available for pre-order ahead of next month’s launch, head below for the details on the all-new Ring Outdoor Cam Plus

Thursday morning’s roundup of the best App Store discounts is now up for grabs down below. On your way down, be sure to scope out the increasingly rare deals we spotted today on the M4 Mac mini starting from $549 as well as this $200 price drop on Apple’s most affordable 14-inch M4 MacBook Pro at $1,399, and new iPhone 16e cases from Spigen, ESR, and UAG starting at just $10. As for the apps, highlights include titles like Rip Them Off, Fiz: Brewery Management Game, SpongeBob – The Cosmic Shake, Teslagrad, an d more. Head below for a closer look at everything. 

Next out of the gate with a new batch of cases for Apple’s iPhone 16e is UAG – one of our favorite protective case makers. Ready to bring its special brand of almost military-style protective vibes to Apple’s latest handset, all but one of the brand’s new cases brings back the magnetic action to 16e, and everything is now available on the official site starting from $40. Get a closer look down below. 

The new ESR iPhone 16e MagSafe cases are now available for purchase starting from just $9.99 Prime shipped. Apple might have nixed the MagSafe support on its new, more affordable 16e handset, but, much like the Spigen 16e lineup, ESR is here to ensure you can still use MagSafe accessories and at a super affordable price. The new MagSafe iPhone 16e models are all waiting for you right here and we will take a closer look below. 

While we are still awaiting the official Switch 2 Direct showcase on April 2 to get the full picture on the next-generation Nintendo console, plenty of additional details have come to light since then. From official patents specifically mentioning mouse mode, the lack of support for the current Switch Online Game Voucher program, and Nintendo’s official comments on how it is dealing with the U.S. tariffs situation, all of the rumors and speculation have been interspersed with solid, confirmed details. We also know there are two USB-C ports on the machine, and one can only assume they are for more than just charging convenience – many have suggested a web cam add-on could be on the way, but does this also suggest that the dual-display rumors previously circulated could ring true?

The new Spigen iPhone 16e cases have arrived. Apple has now unleashed its brand-new, more affordable iPhone 16e and, just like clockwork, Spigen is the first out of the gate with its new case lineup. Spigen, as any avid 9to5Toys reader will already know, is a staple in the smartphone case business, delivering affordable solutions in loads of different styles at prices lower they ought to be in most cases. Listings are now going live on the new iPhone 16e Spigen case lineup with models starting from $16 Prime shipped. 

Your mid-week lineup of the most notable price drops that have surfaced on the App Store this morning are now up for grabs down below. We are also still tracking a solid $199 price drop on Apple’s most affordable M4 MacBook Pro alongside this deal on AirPods 4 with ANC, the 1TB 13-inch M4 iPad Pro at $250 off, and a new Amazon all-time low on Apple’s 512GB 11-inch iPad Air. But for now it’s on to the apps, including mobile classics like Alto’s Odyssey and Alto’s Adventure as well as Sheltered, SpellForce, and more. Head below for a closer look. 

We have already outlined the expected Switch 2 launch window games, rumored titles like GTA 6 and Metal Gear Solid Delta as well as select Xbox titles and some details on backwards compatibility. And while Nintendo hasn’t fleshed out the details on exactly how Switch games will work on Switch 2 (we know some titles won’t have full compatibly), we do now have some details on how Nintendo Game Vouchers will work on the next-generation console. 

Nomad has just launched its brand-new, next-generation ChargeKey. This compact USB-C cable accessory is designed to land on your keychain (or in your EDC) to provide on-the-go charging and, this time around, data transfer action for iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, Android devices, and more for $25. Head below for a closer look and some hands-on impressions for the new Nomad ChargeKey – this might be the best mini USB-C I have ever tested out.

Moment is among our favorite content-creator and iPhoneography brands out there. After coming away impressed with its iPhone 16 Pro camera case this year, not to mention the lens attachments that come along with it, we are now ready to dive into the brand’s Winter Sale at up to 30% off and, perhaps even more so, its $10 Clearance sale. The brand needs to make room for some new 2025 releases, and you know what that means…some serious clearance pricing. 

We have seen loads of chances to save on the new 2024 Apple Watch Ultra 2 bands, but today marks the very first price drop on the new Blue Trail Loop with the black titanium finish in the S/M size. Regularly $99, you can now save nearly 15% on this band via Amazon down at $85.99 shipped. For the record, the official Apple Trail Loops only come in two sizes: S/M or M/L. 

We are now just over 6 weeks out from the official Nintendo Switch 2 Direct – a showcase where we expect to see a full blow out of the console’s feature set, some launch game information, pre-order details, and, perhaps most importantly, the price. The question is whether or not those Trump tariffs are going to take a toll on Nintendo’s stateside bottom line come launch day or not. However, in a recent press conference Nintendo boss Shuntaro Furukawa did have something to say about the matter. 

It’s time we collect all of the best Presidents’ Day deals into one handy spot for you. We have been scouring the interwebs over the last week or so in the lead up to today’s holiday, and there is a massive selection of discounts now up for grabs on the latest Apple and Google gear, Samsung tech, and accessories for all of it. Those offers also join a hand-curated collection of apparel and footwear deals, PC gaming upgrades, loads of EVs and e-bikes, plus much more.

While Apple might have a new next-generation AirTag 2 on the way later this year, we are tracking some solid deals for Presidents’ Day on the existing model (as low as $17.50 a pop) and the new Elevation Lab TagVault AirTag Security Cable holder just surfaced on Amazon. The brand, as any avid 9to5Toys reader will already know, is one of, if not, our favorite out there when it comes to Apple AirTag accessories, and its latest solution has arrived with a rugged build and a robust steel braided cable. Now available for purchase starting from $13.99 (or less with a 2- or 4-pack), all of the details are waiting down below. 

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. This past week’s news cycle was loaded with some interesting leaks and details on Switch 2 alongside the “world’s smallest” iPhone SSD with early bird deals, some hands-on reviews of the latest Grade titanium Apple Watch band from SANDMARC and the new Moft MagSafe wallet, plus much more.

Not all Apple Watch bands are made equal, and this SANDMARC Grade 5 Titanium treatment is more than a few steps above the rest if you ask me. It’s going to cost you, and you’ll need to have a particularly affinity for the finer material things in life to want to shell out the cash, but if you do you’re in for a real treat. Head below for some hands-on impressions.

We have seen some compelling industry insider speculation on what the price of the upcoming Switch 2 will be. A Canadian Costco employee purportedly leaked a placeholder price for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 console recently. But you can apparently buy one right now for the price of about the price of new Tesla right now on the black market. 

Shortly before a Costco employee might have leaked the Switch 2 price, a recently surfaced official Nintendo patent filing all but confirmed mouse mode for the Joy-Con. Alongside giving us a glimpse at what might be the new two-piece Switch Pro Controller as well as a wireless charging dock, an official patent is also now pointing at the ability to completely reverse the Joy-Con – attach them to the console the other way around.

While it might be hard for some folks to side step the ongoing free credit offers on the new Galaxy S25, S25+, and Galaxy S25 Ultra, Amazon is now offering some solid price drops on the much more affordable Galaxy S24 FE. Regularly $650 and $710, respectively, you’ll now find the 128GB and 256GB models on sale for $499.99 and $559.99 shipped at Amazon. That’s $150 off, the lowest price we can find, and the best we have tracked since the Black Friday offers last year – the 256GB model is now with $25 of the Amazon all-time low.
