One of the things that almost everyone nowadays needs is more outlets. Another thing that people need is fast USB charging in their outlets. And if we’re making up some magical device, we might as well give it great surge protection and let’s, for giggles, make it cost only $9.83 Prime shipped. 

Boom! This product actually exists. The CyberPower CSP600WSU Surge Protector 6-AC Outlet Swivel with 2 USB (2.1A) Charging Ports is somehow under $10 bucks at Amazon. Cyberpower is a great brand and they know their power/surge protection – this one gets 4.2/5 stars. The AC outlets swivel and the USB ports aren’t the wussy 1A ones but will actually quickly charge most devices at 2.1A.

  • 6 Surge Protected Swivel Outlets – 1200 Joules of Surge Protection Rating to protect home and office computers, electronics, and home theater equipment
  • (2) USB Charging Ports – 2.1 Amp (shared). Perfect for keeping tablets, smart phones, and other rechargeable electronics ready to use.

As part of the run-up to Prime Day tomorrow, Amazon is offering its Prime members (free trial month) a Dash button for $.99. On top of that, you’ll get $4.99 credit once you make a purchase using the button. That’s $4 off the normal price before you count the $5 in credit. There are now tons of dash buttons to choose from – I’m going to try out the granola bar button…or coffee..or detergent. Amazon recently added over 50 new products to this service, including popular brands like NERF, Play-Doh, Cliff Bar and more.

In any case, when you are done, you can either continue using it as a dash button or enter the world of Dash button hacking.

Today’s news brings popular brands like NERF, Play-Doh, Cliff Bar, Mentos, Campbell’s Soup and more to the fold. This move comes on the heels of a Wall Street Journal report that Amazon has plans to double down on its one-press ordering system despite moderate conversion rates from new customers.

Of course, Amazon is continuing to offer new Dash users a $4.99 credit after the first push of a button. This is not a new promotion but still stands as a great way to give this service a try. Some other standouts from today’s additions include:

Today is the 25th Anniversary of the release of Sonic the Hedgehog. This popular title first released back in 1991 and since developed quite the cult following as it has hit nearly every platform in some way. Amazon is celebrating this milestone by offering a selection of merchandise, games and more including some sweet exclusive t-shirts.

One of my personal favorite items from this sale is the upcoming Vandor Sonic Tin Lunch Box for $12.18 (Reg. $17). It’s set to ship this fall but you can lock-in the discounted pricing today. Another top-pick is this Sonic Boom plush for $11 (Reg. $15).

You’ll also want to be sure to check out these exclusive t-shirts priced from $19.99 Prime shipped. The official 25th anniversary logo t-shirt in multiple colors for $23.99 is pretty sweet. The Let’s Go Fast tee is another classic for $19.99.

One last thing to highlight is that Android users can download Sonic Dash from Amazon Underground for free. Be sure to fill out the in-game sweepstakes form before the end of the month to enter to win a $2,500 gift card. Additionally, anyone that collects 2,500 in-game Amazon boxes in the coming days will receive a $10 Amazon credit. More details here.

Head over to the Sonic 25th Anniversary Hub for even deals and exclusive promotions.

Also, be sure to check out this awesome discounted Nintendo gear from Vans, 20% off today.

Review: At just $24, this Leather Loop Band for Apple Watch looks great and won’t break the bank [Gallery]

The reality is, Apple’s pricing strategy for its Watch Bands is pretty ludicrous. We can’t recommend paying that kind of money when there are cost-effective alternatives for nearly every style available at Amazon. After all, you came to 9to5Toys for a deal, right?

We’ve already broken down the benefits of third-party Sport and Milanese bands in our previous review. Today, I’m taking a look at a Leather Loop option from OULUOQI that clocks in at just $24…

Blu-rays from $4.50: Se7en, The Dark Knight, Jurassic Park, The Goonies, much more

Best Buy and Amazon continue to add to their on-line bargain bin of Blu-ray’s each month with relatively new and noteworthy titles all around $5 each. Also, Best Buy is currently offering Buy one, Get one free on select Blu-rays starting at $10 for two.

Our pick from Amazon is a Prime member exclusive title Se7en from the year 1995. This intense thriller was the break-through role for Kevin Spacey and it received an Oscar nomination as well as numerous other awards.

A film about two homicide detectives’ (Morgan Freeman and (Brad Pitt desperate hunt for a serial killer who justifies his crimes as absolution for the world’s ignorance of the Seven Deadly Sins. The movie takes us from the tortured remains of one victim to the next as the sociopathic “John Doe” (Kevin Spacey) sermonizes to Detectives Somerset and Mills — one sin at a time. The sin of Gluttony comes first and the murderer’s terrible capacity is graphically demonstrated in the dark and subdued tones characteristic of film noir. The seasoned and cultured but jaded Somerset researches the Seven Deadly Sins in an effort to understand the killer’s modus operandi while the bright but green and impulsive Detective Mills (Pitt) scoffs at his efforts to get inside the mind of a killer…

The ecobee3 Smarter Wi-Fi Thermostat brings HomeKit to your AC this summer: $199 shipped (Reg. $250)

Amazon offers the second generation ecobee3 Smarter Wi-Fi Thermostat with HomeKit compatibility for $199 shipped. Matched at Home Depot. This is a 20% savings off the regular price, the best price that Amazon has ever sold it for and within $9 of our previous low mention.

Upgrade Dad’s thermostat with the highly-rated ecobee3. Aside from saving “an average of 23% annually” on home energy costs, it is loaded with features. For example, HomeKit control allows the ecobee3 to communicate with your Apple devices and enables Siri voice activation. It ships with a remote sensor that monitors temperatures in other areas of your home (you can buy more here.) The free iOS or Android app adds another layer of functionality with remote monitoring and data tracking.

We were left with a positive impression in our review:

Siri control for turning on the heat from my desk is super convenient, especially using the Apple Watch, and using the iPhone app to change the temperature has almost entirely replaced walking over to the thermostat.
