30% off From $21

Nomad is one of our favorite iPhone case makers – this should come as no surprise considering how much I just praised its gorgeous Traditional full-wrap leather iPhone 16 model (I’m using it right now). But for folks not upgrading to iPhone 16 anytime soon, it has now moved just about all of its wonderful leather and sport iPhone 15 cases over to clearance pricing with solid 30% price drops. While you will find some deals on its official Amazon store right now, selection is extremely limited. Deals on Nomad gear are hard to come by. It does happen from time-to-time, but it’s seldom at best. Starting today, you’ll find a giant collection of the iPhone 15 models at 30% off waiting over on this landing page (just above the iPhone 13 and 14 models) – we will highlight some of our favorites for you down below as well.

Justin Kahn -
Smartphone AccessoriesNewsSANDMARC
Camera Control

Update 10/24: SANDMARC has informed us that due to an issue with Apple licensing it might not be able to actually release the new capture button model of its case.

Now available for purchase directly from the SANDMARC site for iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, you can use code 9TO5TOYS at checkout to receive our exclusive discount.

There’s no shortage of Qi2 chargers on the market in 2024 and we’ve tested a bunch of them here at 9to5Toys, right from Anker’s MagGo 3-in-1 charging station from the first wave of these chargers to ESR’s 3-in-1 Qi2 charger more recently. While they all have different form factors and even multiple charging pads and ports for added functionality, none stand out the way UGREEN’s new Uno Qi2 2-in-1 charging station does with its unique design. I’ve been using it as my main charger over the last few weeks and it has won me over not just with its reliable charging but by adding a touch of personality to my desk.

MUJJO, much like year’s past, was among the first leather case makers out of the gate when iPhone 16 was unveiled. I have been a fan of the brand’s leather treatments for at least a couple generations now, and with some new color options landing for iPhone 16, was excited to give them a test for 2024. While the initial run of these case had a Camera Control button that wasn’t up to the task, it has now re-issued with corrections, readied replacements for early adopters, and I am here to see if it all worked out.

Apple Find My wallet tracking doesn’t go for much less than this: Anker’s SmartTrack card now under $17

$17
Justin Kahn -

We have seen some wonderful wallet-ready Find My tracking cards over the last year, not the least of which is the Nomad model that has found a permeant place in my wallet. While it might not have the MagSafe-equipped wireless charging functionality like Nomad’s, Anker’s Find My SmartTrack Card is a whole lot less pricey and it has now dropped down to $16.88 at Amazon. Shipping is free for Prime members or in orders over $35. This model debuted at $30 and regularly fetched as much right up until mid-2025 when it started to trend closer to $20. Either way, today’s deal is one of the best, delivers one of the lowest prices we have seen on a Find My card from a brand we trust, and a great chance to scoop one up for the price of a few overpriced coffees.

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.

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.

iPhone 16 27% off

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.
