You won’t find a more elegant charging stand than the HoverDock. This minimal dock comes in iPhone and Apple Watch versions, which are both now $28 via 9to5Toys Specials.

The iPhone HoverDock holds your phone upright using only the connector from your regular charging cable, which means you can continue to use your handset while it is charging. Because the dock does not obstruct any of the screen, it is compatible with most cases. The beautiful aluminum base is sturdy, with internal storage for the charging cable. On the underside, a rubber mat prevents slipping and scratching. The Apple Watch version is largely identical, except it is designed to work with Apple’s Magnetic Charging Cable. Once again, the screen is held upright so you can see incoming notifications, and the dock is compatible with Nightstand mode.

Order now to save 20% on the HoverDock for iPhone or the HoverDock for Apple Watch, with free shipping.

Best Buy is currently taking $100 off all in-stock iPad mini 4 Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi + Cellular models, which drops the starting price down to just $399.99 with free shipping.

Apple has several product announcements ready for tomorrow, but as of right now it looks like iPad mini 4 will not be updated or receive an official price drop. It features a 7.9-inch 2048-by-1536 Retina display, A8 chip, M8 motion compressor,  8MP iSight camera, dual microphones and Touch ID.

Update (3/15 1:45pm): MobilePros1 (Top Rated Plus seller w/ 98% feedback rating from 112,919 buyers) via eBay Daily Deals offers Apple’s iPad Pro 128GB Wi-Fi for $789.99 shipped (Reg. $949).

Over the past few weeks iPad Pro has finally begun to drop in price. While the majority of deals for Apple’s largest tablet have come from trusted eBay sellers, some mainstream retailers have also started to join the party. These significant price reductions may feel like Apple is paving the way for a new model to be announced during its upcoming media event, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. According to latest rumors, Apple is planning to announce iPhone SE, 9.7-inch iPad Pro and new Apple Watch accessories on March 21st. That means the current 12.9-inch iPad Pro is still a safe buy at this point.

The latest notable iPad Pro deal comes courtesy of Best Buy. Right now the retail chain is taking $100 off every configuration. However, you can save even more on a couple models if you go through eBay Daily Deals. Here’s the breakdown:
