Spigen’s original Apple Watch dock was an instant hit with early adopters. But that was before Apple announced watchOS 2 during WWDC. The first major software update for Apple Watch includes Nightstand mode, which turns your Apple Watch into an alarm clock while it charges overnight. It’s going to be a convenient feature, but the problem is that it is only available when your Apple Watch is sitting on its side. That means most current Apple Watch docks, including Spigen’s first offering, aren’t compatible with Nightstand mode since they can only hold Apple Watch in an upright position. However, Spigen’s new Apple Watch dock was built with Nightstand mode in mind:

Professionals and prosumers love the bigger screen and increased power that comes with Apple’s 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro. The only problem is that these models rarely get discounted. But right now Amazon and B&H have dropped their prices on both standard configuration models:

• 15″ rMBP 2.2GHz/16GB/256GB (MJLQ2LL/A): $1,819 (Reg. $1,999) at Amazon or B&H
• 15″ rMBP 2.5GHz/16GB/512GB (MJLT2LL/A): $2,274 (Reg. $2,499) at Amazon or B&H

Prices are the same at both retailers, however B&H only charges sales tax at the time of purchase for New York buyers and is including a free copy of Parallels 10.

Both models include a 2880 x 1800 Retina Display and the new Force Touch Trackpad.

We still have deals for Apple’s 11 and 13-inch MacBook Air.

Next week Amazon will celebrate its 20th birthday with thousands of deals. This Prime member exclusive event, called Prime Day, is set to offer “more deals than Black Friday” on toys, video games, movies, clothing, patio, lawn and garden, sports and outdoor items and more. Prime Day falls on Wednesday, July 15th, which is the day before Amazon’s big birthday.

As of right now the deals are still a mystery, but we do know Amazon will be running thousands of Lightning deals and seven Deals of the Day.

Again, your ticket to Amazon’s birthday party is Prime. If you’re not yet a member, go ahead and activate a free trial right now so you can be ready for next week’s deal bonanza.

Amazon has quietly given its Prime members another valuable benefit: discounts on recently released and upcoming video games. Just yesterday we shared a couple of these deals in our daily apps/games roundup. At the time we thought they were just a couple of one-offs. But now we’ve come to learn that these types of deals may be here to stay.These discounts cover select video game consoles, accessories, and games that are sold by Amazon direct. There isn’t an easy way to view all the current offers. The only way to identify a video game item as having special Prime pricing is to look for the “Amazon Prime member Savings” blurb (shown above) on each item’s listing.

Even Prime members on a free trial or discounted Student membership qualify for the special pricing. However, you won’t know the exact discount amount until you reach the final page of checkout. That means the advertised price never changes even if the item is eligible for Prime savings. So you’ll need to add the item to your cart and proceed to checkout to see exactly how much the discount is. Here are the best current video game deals for Prime members we’ve found so far:

• Madden NFL 16 for Xbox One: $45.02 (extra $14.94 off)
• Batman Arkham Knight for PS4/Xbox One: $49.99 (extra $9.97 off)
• Star Wars Battlefront for PS4/Xbox One: $54.99 (extra $4.97 off)
• Star Wars Battlefront (Deluxe) for PS4/Xbox One: $62.99 (extra $7 off)
• Tom Clancy’s The Division for PS4/Xbox One: $52.99 (extra $6.97 off)
• Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege for PS4/Xbox One: $52.99 (extra $6.97 off)
• Call of Duty: Black Ops III for PS4/Xbox One: $49.99 (extra $10 off)
• Halo 5: Guardians for Xbox One: $52.99 (extra $7 off)
• Splatoon for Wii U: $52.99 (extra $6.97 off)
• Mario Kart 8 for Wii U: $52.99 (extra $6.31 off)
• Super Smash Bros. for 3DS: $34.99 (extra $4.97 off)

Update (7/2 11:55am): Amazon’s Gold Box deal has now expired. The iStick is currently priced at $19.99 + $2.54 shipping.

Update (7/1 3:50pm): Amazon has discounted the Mpow Selfie Stick even further. It’s now just $10.50 Prime shipped.

You can’t take them to Disney but they seem to be everywhere else. Selfie sticks. I think we’ve found the best and the best price in MPOW’s iStick.

Mpow gave me their iStick Selfie stick last month and I’ve used it with a number of phones big and small. On the small side, I’ve tried the Moto E and iPhone 4s without a case. But the stick expands so big that it can take small tablets like the Samsung Mega. It is strong enough to hold an iPhone 6 with a big battery case (see image, top). The fit is tight and it can be swung around pretty violently without losing its grip on your device.

More importantly, it is designed so that when the phone isn’t attached, it can flip around and fit in your pocket when the telescoping arm is closed (so maybe you CAN sneak it into Disney World!). This is the big differentiator.

The Bluetooth connectivity is easy to set up on both iOS and Android and it easily connects to multiple devices. Once connected, a thumb push on the button snaps a picture using the phone’s native camera or 3rd party camera app.

The iStick includes a wrist strap to help prevent droppage and has 3 different color microUSB charging ports if you want to differentiate.

The only downside? It is a selfie stick. Call it a Mono-pod if you can’t bear it.

Today only, Amazon’s Gold Box has the iStick for $13.99 Prime shipped which is such a good deal, you’ll want to buy one for everyone you know that wants to take selfies.

For other styles, check out our roundup of the best selfie sticks for your iPhone.

July 4th is the perfect day for an outdoor get-together, but the cost of food, drinks, and entertainment adds up quickly. Save a few dollars, help the environment, and create a new space by DIYing some of your outdoor decor with both new and re-purposed items.

SanDisk unveiled its 200GB microSD card a few months back at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. At that time we were given an estimated street date of Q2 2015 and an MSRP of $399.99. Well, this giant microSD just became available for purchase from Amazon for $239.02.

It features transfer speeds of up to 90MB/s and packs enough storage to accommodate up to 20 hours of full HD video. By no means is this card necessary for average consumers, but professionals with a big tech budget may be able to justify it. MicroSD cards make for great additions to phones and digital cameras for storing photos, videos or apps and can be even be added to MacBooks with one of these adapters. SanDisk’s 128GB version priced at $78.99 is the smarter purchase for most people.

SanDisk’s 200GB beauty is currently the “world’s highest capacity microSD card,” but that may soon change since Microdia already detailed its plans for a 512GB card.

Update (6/26 8:15am): To clarify, this promo is only available to current Audible members who aren’t on a free trial.

Audible is discounting a collection of 100 audiobooks down to just $4.95 each. Most of the titles usually sell for $15 to $25 so this sale is offering significant savings. Aside from Audible’s standard free 30-day trial, we really don’t see that many discounts or sales from the audiobook giant.

Some of our top picks include The Great Gatsby, Fahrenheit 451, Paranoia and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Sale ends June 28th.

After a week of puzzling YouTube clips and tweets surrounding Seattle’s downtown, we have learned what the Treasure Truck is. Those in Amazon’s home city will be able to obtain special one-day deals on products, food and other items by following the status of the truck on the retailer’s mobile app.

Starting on Saturday, Amazon will be selling items out of the truck but you’ll have to find it first.

Of the major HDMI stick media players, Amazon’s Fire TV Stick is the one that we see the least amount of deals for. Sure there was the insane $20 launch promo and the free offer with Sling TV (still available), but aside from those deals there really hasn’t been any other opportunity to grab one at a discounted price. However, it looks like Amazon wants its diminutive streaming media player in the hands of dads this Father’s Day since it has just dropped down to $34 at Amazon, Best Buy, and Staples.

Chromecast is usually the go-to choice when it comes to streaming sticks, but Amazon Fire TV offers a couple features that Google’s player doesn’t: Fire TV Stick has a robust 8GB of storage for downloading games/apps, a dedicated physical remote control, and integrated voice search.
