Spigen unleashed its new iPhone 16 case collection with just about all of the usual models and styles folks familiar with the brand will already know…with one exception. With the introduction of the Camera Control button on iPhone 16, Spigen is now one of only a large handful of options out there that actually have a case that forgoes the cutout in favor of a button cover that is supposed to translate the multi-gesture action through to the phone. But at under $30 Prime shipped the question is, does it?

Amazon is now offering a relatively rare deal on the Eve Motion Sensor with Matter down at $39.95 shipped. This is a regularly $50 intelligent motion sensor that is now seeing a solid 20% price to deliver one of the lowest prices we have tracked this year. This model did drop to $35 for a couple days during the July Prime Day sale, but it rarely goes on sale outside of holiday events like that and has otherwise held strong between $45 and $48 for all off 2024 outside of a brief stint at $40 back in February. 

Nomad is one of our favorite Apple gear accessory makers, any 9to5Toys reader already knows this. We just went hands-on with its absolutely gorgeous new Traditional Leather iPhone 16 case in brown (it’s also available in black) and loved it. But the brand has now expanded its latest collection of iPhone 16 cases and Apple Watch bands shortly after the debut of the new handset covers and the reveal of its 2024 Rocky Point band with a new collection of Forest green colorways. Scope them out below. 

Amazon’s early Prime Big Deal Days are now live, and now joining the Ring offers we featured already, it’s time for the Blink deals. Amazon’s Blink smart home brand delivers some particularly aggressive and competitive pricing and it all just got even lower. You can now score the 2024 Blink Mini 2 smart camera for just $19.99 with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35. This is a regularly $40 camera we came away impressed with after going hands-on that is now seeing a straight up 50% price drop to mark a return to the July Prime Day price and the all-time low. 

Amazon has now introduced a fun, spooky new Limited Edition Jack Skellington Shell for the Echo Dot 4th and 5th Gen smart speakers, and bundle options are now on sale. The Pumpkin King of Halloween Town shell can be purchase separately on its own at $39.99 for folks who already own one of the Amazon’s speakers and are looking to bring some Halloween vibes into their space. But it is also offering an Echo Dot 5th Gen bundled with the Limited Edition Disney Jack Skellington Shell down at $62.98 shipped. Purchasing both items individually would run you $90 – the speaker is regularly $50, so you’re saving 30% with the bundle here today. Even if you factor in the last deal price on this speaker at $30, the bundle still comes in for less. 

Update 2: PlayStation 5 Chroma DualSense controllers are now available for pre-order at Amazon in the Teal, Indigo, and Pearl colorways. 

Update: The new PlayStation 5 Chroma collection plates and DualSense controllers are now available for purchase via PlayStation Direct. 

As we reported yesterday, Sony is hosting the next State of Play this afternoon and we are here to watch it along with you. We knew there was going to be 30+ minutes of news and updates on upcoming PS5 games and PS VR2 titles, as per Sony’s official announcement, but it looks like an update on the PlayStation Store might have given up, at least, some of the surprises we would have been in for today as well (more details on this below). We aren’t expecting to see any new hardware, considering how busy Sony has been on that front over the last week or so with PS5 Pro and the 30th anniversary PS1-style consoles and controllers, but either way it all starts very soon and you can follow along down below. 

The official Anker Amazon storefront is now offering its 2-port 12,000mAh Prime Power Bank with the built-in display down at $59.99 shipped for Prime members. Regularly $90, this is 33% off the going rate and the lowest price we can find – this model is currently sold out directly from the Anker website. Today’s deal undercuts the previous deal price by $12 to deliver a capable and feature rich portable charging solution to your EDC and beyond. 

Update: The new transparent Xbox Ghost Cipher wireless gamepad is now up for pre-order at Best Buy and Walmart as well. 

Much like what it did with its Vapor line, Microsoft is expanding its official transparent Cipher Xbox gamepads beyond the sweet Sky blue model we featured recently starting today. Taking to the Xbox Wire, Microsoft has now officially unveiled the complete lineup of new transparent Elite Series 2 Cipher gamepads with see-through top-cases “letting you relive the magic of seeing the inner workings of your favorite gadgets.” All of the new models and elements will be available as part of the Xbox Design Lab where users can effectively design their very own wireless Xbox controller alongside the new Ghost Cipher Special Edition clear and gold model you can score right now via the official storefront. Head below for more details. 

Today, Marshall is debuting its next-generation over-ears known as the Marshall Monitor III A.N.C. Headphones. In partnership with Green Day frontman and 4-time Grammy Award winner, Billie Joe Armstrong, the release of the new Monitor III A.N.C. coincides with the 30th anniversary of the brand’s seminal album, aiming to inject some “desperately needed rock ‘n’ roll into the monotonous world of noise-cancelling headphones.” 

If you haven’t picked up a copy of the next adventure in the remake of Final Fantasy VII yet, Walmart is offering Rebirth down at $49.94 shipped. Regularly $70, this one is still fetching full price at Best Buy and Amazon with today’s offer being the lowest price we can find right now. This one has only ever gone on sale once at Amazon for reference, and that was a brief offer at $55. You’re looking at the second entry into Square Enix’s massive ground-up remake project of the beloved and iconic Final Fantasy VII, for those unfamiliar. Cloud and the gang have finally made it out of Midgar and out into the open-world – it isn’t a 1:1 remake of the original, loaded with extra content and story details along the way, but it is a wonderful experience for those diving in for the first time or looking to make a return for something new (having said that, I highly recommend you give the original a shot some day too). 

One of the latest releases from Govee is putting its smart multi-color lighting treatment up on the table or nightstand, complete with Matter support. The new Govee Table Lamp 2 delivers on a similar smartphone and smart home-controlled lighting experience, just with an all-new design featuring 360-degree lighting and a clear base that allows it to standout from many of the no-name options you’ll find on Amazon. Now available for purchase with some launch deals, we will take a deeper dive down below. 

While we are still tracking the entry-level model down at $399, Amazon has also now brought back the Google Pixel 8a with 256GB of storage at $459 shipped. This is the same $100 price drop we spotted previously, but after jumping back to full price a couple times we are highlighting another chance to scoop this one up while it’s matching the Amazon low. Both the 128GB model and the 256GB variant are now sitting at the same price we tracked for Prime Day this year and make for notable, lower-cost alternatives to the new Pixel 9 models. 

In case you missed it, the AeroPress is going premium folks. The brand’s beloved coffee makers have been a staple around here for years, among both staffers and readers, in camping kits, and atop kitchen countertops leveraging a patented press function to make a, frankly, delicious cup of joe with the special brand of “total immersion” brewing. The latest models are made of a “durable, shatterproof” plastic-like material, but a the new premium high-end glass model is here to grace your countertop the way no other AeroPress ever has. 

Nomad debuted its new iPhone 16 case collection shortly after the new Apple handsets made their first official appearance, and today we are taking our first hands-on look at one of them. The brand introduced a new model this year known as the Traditional Leather Case for iPhone 16 with a complete leather wrap around the sides and I was very interested the first time I laid eyes on it. So let’s dive in and see if this thing really is one of the best leather iPhone 16 case I have seen yet as part of our hands-on Tested with 9to5Toys series. 

The official Anker Amazon storefront is now offering some notable deals on its latest Zolo power bank lineup, complete with integrated woven USB-C cables. Firstly, we spotted the 10,000mAh model back at $17.99 in select colorways, down from the regular $26 price tag with free shipping for Prime members or in orders over $35. You’ll also find the 20,000mAh model with twice the battery power on sale from $28.99, or nearly 20% off the going rate, as well as the 20,000mAh model with two integrated cables (one USB-C and one Lightning) at $39.09 shipped from the regular $46 price tag. All of these deals are either matching our within a couple bucks or so of the best we have seen.

Update: This deal on the 1TB M3 MacBook Pro is now live once again for folks looking for, what is arguably, the specialty configuration here with the entry-level RAM count and expanded storage. The 512GB with 8GB of RAM is selling down at down at $1,299 while the 16GB model with 1TB of storage is going for $1,699 shipped – everything is $300 off.

Amazon has now dropped the 1TB M3 MacBook Pro down to $1,499 shipped by way of an on-page coupon. If this elevated version of the entry-level, current-generation MacBook Pro is the one you had your eye on, you’re looking at $300 in savings and the lowest price we can find on the regularly $1,799 machine – today’s deal comes within $1 of the Amazon all-time low. It is also worth mentioning the standard 512GB model is also now down at $1,299 sale price we have tracking for a couple months on and off right now. 

Just in time for iPhone 16, the new Apple Watch, and AirPods 4, Journey is now ready to debut its latest charging solution known as the GLYDE 4-in-1. The brand says the GLYDE is the “world’s first charger with a retractable wireless charging lid,” combining a portable charging station with a 10,000mAh onboard power bank. Now available for purchase on the official Journey site, you’ll find a nice 20% pre-order discount available once it is added to your cart. 

While the first two editions of our new 9to5Toys Travel Kit series took us to the Big Apple and the swamps of Virginia and North Carolina, today we are focused on an overnighter wedding closer to home. The bulk of the event is going to be a lightweight affair and will only require a few things – suit, watch, some extras for the groomsmen, and an iPhone for the most part. But because I’ll be checking into a hotel room on the premises, I will need to put together a small kit with some must-have gear for an overnight wedding.

Update: As per usual, we are now seeing 5 to 10% on-page coupons across many of the new iPhone 16 Spigen cases.

The 2024 Spigen iPhone 16 case collection has now landed, with just about all of the new iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max models now available for purchase. The brand’s new affordable iPhone 16 cases are here and, much like year’s past, are offering a giant selection of models and colorways for each of Apple’s new iPhone 16 models. You’ll find all of the new cases up for purchase right now over on the brand’s official Amazon storefront and we will take a look at some of our favorites down below. 

Happy iPhone 16 delivery day folks! Whether you waited in line and already have one or are eagerly awaiting the delivery truck, we are here to make sure the App Store’s best price drops are front and center. You’ll want to check out our favorite MagSafe wallets for iPhone 16 as well as all of the most notable iPhone 16 case deals (that now include this wildly rare exclusive discount on the wonderful Nomad models), as well as the deals we spotted today on the most affordable M2 iPad Air, the Level Lock+ Connect smart lock with Apple Home Key, and this high-end M4 iPad Pro, but for now it’s all about the apps. Highlights today include titles like Poly Bridge, Spell Force, Endling, Temporal War, and more. Hit the jump for a closer look. 

We are now less than 12 hours from delivery day, so we thought it was time to rundown the best MagSafe wallets for iPhone 16. We have collected our favorite options for Apple’s latest handset below, some brand new, some classics, and all of them will work on all MagSafe-equipped iPhones. But if you just picked up a case for you new handset and are looking to grab a new card carrier you’ll find our favorites below, including full-grain and vegan leather, crystal clear, kickstand models, lockable designs, and even some with Find My tracking built-in. Head below to check out our favorite card carriers for Apple’s new iPhone 16 models. 

We all sort of thought it was coming about as much as we thought it definitely wasn’t, but Sony just debuted the official new 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Console Bundles in epic PS1 gray! The pre-orders for PS5 Pro are set to kick off in just under a week’s time, but Sony is landing today with an exciting new announcement to take its 30th anniversary celebration to the next level with the new PS5 Pro, PS5 Digital, all of its controls now receiving a special, nostalgic coat of gray paint and retro PlayStation logos. Scope it all out below. 

Not all MagSafe iPhone stands are made equal, some are high-end with premium materials and 15W charging, and some are more affordable and get the job done without breaking bank. And then there’s Belkin’s Apple DockKit model – one of the only stands there with official face-tracking action to keep you in frame no matter what your content creation endeavors entail. After debuting at CES and subsequently landing on the official Apple Store at $180, today we are tracking a relatively rare deal on the Belkin Auto-Tracking Stand Pro with DockKit down at $143.99 shipped via the official site – use code ATS20 if you don’t see the discount automatically in the cart. 

On the eve of iPhone 16 pre-order deliveries, we are here to serve up the day’s best price drops on the App Store. You’ll want to secure your new iPhone 16 case ASAP if you haven’t yet and we have the deals for you, including early discounts on official Apple cases with Camera Control, an exclusive offer on Arc’s metal iPhone 16 bumper cases, and even more in our roundup of the best iPhone 16 case deals now live from $14. Beyond that, scope out the discounts we have on today one OG Apple Watch Ultra at $350 off and the M3 Pro MacBook Pro with 18GB of RAM at $500 off, before you head below for all of today’s best iOS app deals and freebies. 

After taking a look at some of our favorite new Spigen models, today the elago AirPods 4 cases have surface on Amazon starting at even lower prices. We have been featuring the brand’s minimalist silicone and clear cases for some years now, but it is always its fun retro-inspired models that really catch our eye. The new AW5, or Game Boy-style case, as well as its vintage pager-style models are now ready to go for Apple’s new AirPods 4 that are set to begin shipping tomorrow, and everything is seeing some nice launch deals courtesy of the brand’s official Amazon storefront. Scope them out down below. 

One thing we don’t see very often, if ever, is super early deals on the brand new OtterBox accessories when Apple launches its new iPhone every year. That was seemingly the case again this year with its new iPhone 16 case collection, but we have now spotted some codes that knock up to 27% off the regular price on the cases. Simply add the case you want to your cart and apply the following codes one at a time, in this order: Use code Otter10 for 10% off, and then apply code OB17SAVE for up to 17% off. The actual amount these codes are knocking off seems to vary slightly from case to case, but everything we have tried lands at roughly 25% off, and, considering these are brand new releases, the best prices ever across the board anyway. 

Apple’s iPhone 16 has been all but confirmed to have upped the ante when it comes to wired charging prowess. We know it is capable of juicing up at 25W via Apple’s official new MagSafe charger when it comes to wireless action. But for you speed demons looking for the fastest possible juice up, cables remain your best option and we have organized some of our favorite options to help you get the job done. 

Your mid-week collection of the best App Store price drops and freebies are ready and waiting for you down below the fold. Just be sure to also check out the ongoing exclusive deal we have on Arc’s metal iPhone 16 bumper cases, the straight up $50 discount on the new black Apple Watch Ultra 2 for Best Buy members, this new all-time low on Belkin’s new versatile Qi2 15W MagSafe 3-in-1 Foldable Charger, and the previous-gen 11-inch iPad Pro at $600 off. Moving over to the apps, highlights include titles like Cosmic Express, Northland Heroes, Sokobond, 9th Dawn III, and more. Hit the jump for a closer look at all of Wednesday’s best iOS price drops. 

While it did start to slow up briefly, an alleged and quite substantial Switch 2 leak has hit the net with supposed renders of the new upcoming console as well as a host of details on the specs. Several of the details have been corroborated from various sites, but as usual, we have no inside details we can share at this time on the new Nintendo Switch 2, and all of this, despite being quite compelling, should be taken with a grain of salt. 

Bose has now officially unveiled its next-generation QuietComfort wireless earbuds. Very much like Apple just did at its Glowtime event just over a week ago, Bose isn’t dethroning its latest generation flagship QuietComfort Ultra earbuds – its direct competition for the AirPods Pro 2 – but rather updating its mid-ranger QuietComfort buds with the next-gen set. 

OnePlus is stepping in today with another solid offer on its latest tablet. The official site has now dropped the price on its new OnePlus Pad 2 down to $499.99 shipped from the regular $550 you’ll find at retailers like Amazon right now – it has yet to see any significant price drops there. But to sweeten the deal even more, quite a lot more in fact, you will also score a FREE set of OnePlus Buds 3 with your purchase today. So that’s $50 with a FREE set of $100 buds for a total savings of $150 today. Last time we featured a deal on the OnePlus Pad 2 it was at the same $450 but with a free folio case, which is arguably not quite as good as today’s earbuds offer. 

There’s nothing quite like a brand new M4 iPad Pro, but there are some massive price drops live on the previous-generation models right now too. Amazon is now offering the 2TB M2 iPad Pro in the 11-inch configuration down at $1,299 shipped. This deal is also available at Best Buy. You’re looking at a regularly $1,899 upgraded iPad Pro here that is now selling at $600 under the regular list price and coming in at $100 under our previous mention. 

Nintendo is expanding its Super NES Switch Online library today with four new titles headlined by Battletoads Double Dragon, classic arcade-style racing, and some retro Super Famicom dodge ball action. Roughly a week before the release of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom and following new additions to the service like these classic Mega Man titles and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team, all four of the new Switch Online games are available starting right now. Check out the details below. 

The official Govee Amazon storefront is now offering a notable limited-time Lightning deal on its smart Alexa/Google Assistant RGBIC Floor Lamp at $59.98 shipped. Regularly $100, this is 40% off the going rate, the lowest we have seen in months, and on par with the previous price drop we spotted back in May. This certainly isn’t the latest model in the lineup, but if you’re looking to secure the similar floor lamp from the brand with Matter support, it’s going to cost you $124.99 shipped on sale from the usual $160 price tag right now – check out our launch coverage from earlier this year on this model if you’re interested. 

Satechi debuted its new Find My passport wallet alongside the rest of the tech industry’s IFA launches, and following a string of models from other brand’s leveraging Apple’s item tracking action. But with Satechi being among our favorite accessory makers out there, and it’s latest release coming along with one very useful feature we have yet to see much from the competition, we decided to get hands-on to give it a run for its money. Head below for our hands-on impressions.

We have already detailed our favorite new iPhone 16 cases and some bands for Series 10 and Ultra 2, but now it’s time to look at some new AirPods 4 cases. Spigen always has a good selection of options for folks to safeguard their shiny new AirPods case without breaking the bank and we are ready to take a closer look at some of our favorite new releases from the brand for Apple’s latest buds. Just about all of them are seeing some launch deals on Amazon right now by way of on-page coupons too. Head below for a closer look. 

The new Eve Light Switch with Matter is debuting today. In the brand’s continued effort to future-proof its popular HomeKit smart home ecosystem, today Eve is launching its Light Switch with Matter, allowing the switch to be controlled directly via iOS 18 on iPhone 15 Pro and the new iPhone 16 devices without a home hub and play nice with the rest of the Matter gear in your setup. This, much like what we saw with its smart Weather Station back in July, also means the brand is serving up a free Matter firmware upgrade for existing owners of the third-generation Eve Light Switch via the Eve app. 

The official Anker Amazon storefront is now offering its GaNPrime 100W 727 Charging Station for $49.99 shipped when apply code ANKERA9126 at checkout. This model carries a regular price at $125 directly from the official Anker site, but has sold for much less at Amazon. It started the year at $100 before dropping into the $70 range and now down to one of the lowest prices we have tracked. Today’s deal undercuts the previous sale price by $2.50 and delivers the lowest price we can find on the slender 6-port charging station. 

The new Google Pixel Watch 3 arrived in mid August and we are now tracking the first chance to save on the official Google Pixel Watch 3 USB-C Fast Charging Cable courtesy of Amazon. Regularly $30, you can save 16% with a total down at $25.11. Shipping is free for Prime members or in orders over $35. This is indeed the first notable price drop we have tracked since it first landed on Amazon at the same time as the third-generation Google smartwatch – it also works with Google Pixel Watch 2 as well. 

If you missed out on some of the back to school offers we featured last month’s on Apple’s latest M3 MacBook Air, we have some spotted notable price drops to get you back in the game. Firstly, Amazon has now taken $200 off the 13-inch models with 16GB of RAM and $150 or more off the 15-inch models with the same 16GB of RAM upgrade. However, with some notable coupon offers, Adorama has the deals on the 15-inch model beat, and by quite a bit with up to $300 in savings to deliver some of the lowest prices we have tracked yet on both the M3 and previous-gen M2 models. Head below for a closer look. 

It’s official folks, Amazon has now announced this year’s fall Prime Day sale for October 8 and 9. Officially known as Prime Big Deal Days, this year’s event, as we predicted, will take place on the second Tuesday and Wednesday of the month, roughly seven weeks before the big Black Friday festivities kick off and in about three weeks from today. Amazon has taken to its official newsroom to set the Prime Big Deal Days in stone and we have all of the details you need waiting down below. 

Update: Amazon is now doing the same thing on the 46mm model with a light discount down to $419.99 shipped while the base model 42mm models are now starting at $386.99. 

Amazon really wants you to pre-order your new Apple Series 10 through its storefront. It is now offering the brand new GPS + Cell model in Jet Black, Rose Gold, and Silver down at $519.99 shipped. This new wearable carries a $529 MSRP and fetches as much everywhere else, of course. This is clearly just a tiny price drop, but if you’re about to pre-order one of these models, you might as well as keep the $9 in your pocket for coffee or lunch or something. But that’s only if you don’t plan on trading in a Series 9 for one – we are currently seeing Series 10 drop as low as $99 for the entry level models. 

Today’s collection of Android game and app deals from the Google Play Store are at the ready for you down below. Alongside deals on Lockly’s Flex Touch Google/Alexa smart lock, TCL’s 2024 The Frame-style 65-inch Google Smart TV, and Samsung’s regularly $400 all-black Galaxy Watch 6 Classic at $280, we also spotted the 2024 OnePlus 12R smartphone at $50 off with a FREE pair of earbuds. But for now it’s on to the apps, including titles like Clue (2024), Everybody’s RPG, Pocket Rogues: Ultimate, Front Armies [RTS], What Lies Underground, and more. Head below for a closer look at everything. 

This morning’s collection of iOS game and app deals ahead of iPhone 16 delivery day later this week is now ready to go.

Nintendo has now launched a notable Team17 sale via the eShop loaded with some wonderful indie titles for your digital library. The deals start from just $3.99 and span a sizable collection of the publisher’s titles. One that stands out for me here is Dredge down at $16.24 from the usual $25 price tag. Now 35% off the going rate you can now land this interesting “single-player fishing adventure with a sinister undercurrent” at the lowest price we can find. You’ll also find the DREDGE Pale Reach DLC marked down 20% to $4.79 on the eShop alongside the Blackstone Key DLC down at $3.99 to complete the experience too. Browse through the rest of the sale right here and head below for more.
