You’ll need to refer to each individual item listing for exact condition details. Protection plans are available for purchase. Here are some of our top picks:

iPad cases are a dime a dozen at this point, it seems. It’s hard to stand out in a sea of folios, keyboards and smart covers. But Don’t Panic’s iPad cases have managed to do just that, a few times over. After successfully rolling through a couple of Kickstarter campaigns, the guys behind this intriguing case are back with the third generation. Their campaign video is pretty clever, check it out below.
Update (11/8 10:00am): Back in-stock! Best Buy has the 4th Generation Apple TV in excellent open-box condition for $139.99 shipped.
Best Buy currently offers the new fourth generation Apple TV in “excellent” open- condition for $126.99 shipped. That’s a savings of $23 off the original price and the first discounted listing that we have seen. Note: Click on “buying options” and then select the Open-Box Excellent listing.
The new Apple TV just launched last week and recently became available in-stores as well. It is loaded with fresh features including a new remote, Siri-access and a full-on app store. Reviews have been largely positive across the board.
If you’ve been hesitant to jump on-board with Apple’s latest device, this discounted offering may be the way to go. Best Buy describes this open-box listing as being “in excellent condition, looks brand new in appearance — with no physical flaws, scratches or scuffs — and include all original parts and accessories.” A full factory warranty is included. Learn more about open-box products at Best Buy.

Many more iPad discounts at Walmart here.
After launching Apple Watch just last week, a recent ad leak suggests that Target is already planning to discount the wearable. The deal extends a savings of 10% to any Apple Watch when purchased alongside an iPhone 6s or 6s Plus starting this Sunday, November 1st.
Usually these types of bundles that require iPhone activation are pretty meh, but this one is noteworthy since iPhone 6s is still brand new. If you go with the most expensive Apple Watch Target sells, this promo will save you $69.90. REDcard holders save an additional 5% on their order. This is the first Apple Watch discount we’ve seen from a major retailer. Target has also knocked $20 off the 2-year contract pricing for Verizon and Sprint iPhone 6s/Plus 16GB models.

The launch of the new fourth-generation Apple TV has been interesting to say the least. Pre-orders started on Monday, but you’d hardly know it was available based on Apple’s site. As the first batch of orders are beginning to ship, other retailers are beginning to offer pre-orders as well.
While it may not quite be its Black Friday line-up, the Toys R Us Great Big Book of Awesome holiday catalog has now leaked. These deals will be valid from November 1st to 21st, and Toys R Us has dropped its free shipping threshold down to just $19 for the holidays. Along with several pages of LEGO and toy sales, we are seeing a few nice Apple and gaming deals as well.
Most notably, TRU is offering $15 off any regular priced Apple TV in-store. At $54.99, that’s $4 below Apple’s regular refurbished price and is one of the best deals we’ve seen. As a comparison, it is just $5 above Best Buy’s current refurbished price.
There is also a sweet $10 gift card coupon in there when you spend $75 or more (some exclusions apply), and this Wii U Mario Kart bundle with Animal Crossing: amiibo Festival and the The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD for $299.99. While there are some notable deals, especially if you have something specific in mind, you may want to be careful with these considering the Black Friday sales are just around the corner.
You can browse the rest of the Toys R Us Great Big Book of Awesome holiday catalog leak, along with Dell’s leaked Black Friday ad and more early sales right here.
Update (1/11 2:00pm): With the release of tvOS 9.2, Apple has officially added support for Bluetooth Keyboards on Apple TV. You’ll find our top-picks below.
The new Apple TV is now available for pre-orders with the first units set to ship on Friday. Apple has introduced a number of features to its new streaming device, including an App Store, a fresh remote with Siri built-in, universal search and support for MFi gaming controllers. However, the fourth generation Apple TV is pretty light on included accessories. It doesn’t even come with an HDMI cable.
Head below for all the must-have controllers, add-ons and accessories to take full advantage of Apple’s latest release.
Today, D-Link detailed new 180-degree ultra-wide view Wi-Fi network surveillance cameras that are littered with features. Aside from it’s unique “less distortion” lens, D-Link has included a number of other specs that make this new release worth noting. More details below.
Bluetek USA (Top Rated Plus seller w/ 98.5% feedback rating) via eBay Daily Deals offers Apple’s latest iPad Air 2 Wi-Fi 64GB in Gold, Silver, or Space Gray for $489.99 with free shipping. That’s a savings of $109.01 and one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen. In fact, today’s deal nets you four times as much storage as the entry-level iPad Air 2 for $10 less.
iPad Air 2 features a 9.7-inch Retina display with 2048×1536 resolution, 10 hours of battery life, 802.11ac wireless and Touch ID. It’s looking like Apple isn’t going to update iPad Air this year so you shouldn’t have to worry about your new iPad becoming outdated in the next few months.

The original Macintosh 128k remains to be one of the most beloved products to come out of Apple’s design labs. The iconic design started a revolution of portable personal computers that spawned generations of new products. One-off electronics designer Love Hultén has set out to honor this old-school computer with his own take. Just by the looks of its wooden enclosure, he nailed it. But that keyboard though…

Ever since Apple Watch was released last Spring, one of the more interesting storylines has been the third-party band market. While Apple has launched a new MFi certification program for Watch Bands, there are already a number of unofficial options available on the market at this time.
Aukey via Amazon offers its 42mm Leather Band with stainless steel clasp for Apple Watch for $19.99.

Over the last few years, I have become a huge proponent of multi-room audio systems. The ability to play one song in unison across my home or hand-pick from a variety of sources in each space is one of my favorite technology advancements over the last few years.

Kickstarter veteran, Hidden Radio Design, is back with a new whole home speaker system that actively accounts for the shape and size of each room.

With the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus debuting next week, it’s important to start thinking about how to make sure your new phone is protected as soon as you get it. At some point, you’ll probably want to resell your phone for top dollar to upgrade to the iPhone 7s, and getting the best price will require your device to be in like-new condition. The smartest way to protect your iPhone is with the updated Speck CandyShell series or new MightyShell line. “Designed for Impact” and available in all-new styles, Speck’s CandyShell cases have a perfect combination of great looks, protection, and accessory compatibility for your new iPhone.

Apple’s introduction of multi-touch input on the original iPhone completely changed the way that we interact with our devices. Movements like pinch-to-zoom and now Force Touch have become engrained into the technology experience. The ability to recognize different levels of pressure and movements is being used to reimagine the way we manipulate software.
Sensel Morph is a new Kickstarter project that is providing a foundation for software-specific input devices that can be changed quickly and easily. This new device is centered around a keyboard sized slab that is layered with 20,000 sensors that work together to detect unique movements and pressure. Input is handled by different overlays that focus on a specific activity.
For a limited time you can snatch a free download of AirPano Travel Book for iOS through the Apple Store App. This offer marks the first time we’ve seen AirPano available for free. As a pricing comparison, it’s usually priced between $2.99 and $3.99, but has been as high as $4.99 and as low as $0.99.
AirPano Travel Book is a collection of unique spherical photo panoramas of the most amazing places in the world with a bird’s eye view. AirPano takes you on an exciting journey with a real-life presence at a photographic location. The aerial panorama technology allows viewers to soar in the sky above Niagara Falls, the famous Taj Mahal, nightlife in Las Vegas, and the fantastic beaches of Dominican Republic.
AirPano was featured as part of the App Store’s ‘Best of 2014’ list and in Apple’s ‘Everything Changes with iPad’ commercial.

Head below for full details on Jaybird’s latest set of earbuds and how you can win a pair for yourself.
Amazon is offering the titanium-colored version of Apple’s Beats Studio Wireless headphones for only $229.99 shipped. That’s around 40% off of the original $380 price, and the best we’ve ever seen for this particular premium metallic colorway. Seven other colors are currently available for $255 and up, with gold at $255 and metallic sky at $275.
As an avid bike rider, I love to have a pair of Bluetooth in-ear headphones with me while I ride. Now that many wireless headphones (BT 4.0+) can connect to Apple Watch during workouts, it’s even handier than ever. One of the biggest worries about using in-ear headphones is that it’s difficult to hear noise around you when the music is cranked up. During outdoor physical activities, like biking down a country road for example, it can be difficult to hear oncoming traffic that may pose a risk to your safety.
That’s where AfterShokz: Trekz come in. This new Indiegogo campaign has developed a set of bone conducting in-ear headphones that keep your ear canals open but the music pumping. This project caught our eye, having already raised over 200% of its funding goal in just 24 hours.
