UGREEN offers a wide range of MagSafe chargers, but the 3-in-1 MagFlow charger we’re looking at today stands out as one of the more compact and travel-friendly options. It can charge your iPhone, Apple Watch, and AirPods all at once, making it a convenient all-in-one solution. I’ve recently swapped out UGREEN’s Uno Qi2 15W 2-in-1 charger for this model, and it’s been a great upgrade for my desk — especially since it’s more compact and supports an extra device. Dive in below for my hands-on impressions of the UGREEN 15W 3-in-1 MagFlow charger.

Another month ending means another month of new LEGO building sets! After last month’s massive 50-set extravaganza, I’m sure there are plenty of builders with light or empty pockets, so rest easy knowing July will be far less busy a month for everyone’s favorite brick-built pastime – but that doesn’t mean the offers are any less tempting. While it may be a much smaller pick of options (only five sets this month), there is no shortage of quality, and these new LEGO sets releasing in July 2025 already have me eager for the clock to tick over. Head below to check them out.

We had a solid run of Switch 2 console restocks this week at both Best Buy and Walmart, but there’s more on the way again. While this week’s events were all online, if you still didn’t get a chance to score one just yet, it looks like you’ll get another shot at it next week, according to an official Best Buy update. 

Now just a few weeks after the release of Nintendo Switch 2 and the new GameCube library, Nintendo has announced the first expansion to its retro Switch Online game library. Early next month, Nintendo will officially expand the Switch 2 GameCube library for the first time with its fourth entry, Super Mario Strikers. 

While most of the massive summer game showcases are now well behind us, there’s still one more to come as Capcom is readying to take the virtual stage tonight. After the new Resident Evil Requiem stole the show (for most gamers) at Summer Game Fest, tonight’s Capcom Spotlight might be one of the more anticipated showings in recent years and we already know RE9 is on the docket. 

Amazon’s first massive Prime Day sale of the year is fast approaching and it has already started to unleash some early Prime Day preview deals. This year’s July event is already shaping up to be one of, if not, the biggest ever as Amazon has significantly expanded its reach while also changing up the daily format for the first time ever. Head below for everything you need to know to get ready for Prime Day 2025. 

Just after the reveal of its next-generation flagship earbuds, Bose debuted and launched its all-new SoundLink Plus portable speaker. We have had a couple weeks to put it to the test to see if that $269 price of entry is worth it, and without giving up too many spoilers, it very much is if you can appreciate a minimalist speaker that sounds great but doesn’t come with many extras. 

Update 6/25 9 p.m. ET: Now live for Walmart+ members (everyone else at 10 p.m. ET):

• Nintendo Switch 2 Console
• Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle

Okay this it folks – the next major Switch 2 restock is going live today. As we have reported on previously, Walmart is scheduled to have what we have been told by inside sources is quite a substantial number of Switch 2 consoles up for grabs this evening, and we are here to do everything we can to make sure you get one. 

Half of the point of the Nintendo Switch 2 is to use it on the go, but you certainly want a case to do that. The dbrand Killswitch is, in many ways, the best Nintendo Switch 2 case I could ask for, but it does have one big flaw.

Twelve South is back again today with its latest new release – the Curve Nano. Just after the release of the all-in-one PowerCord charging solution, today the brand is introducing its latest ultra-simple pocket-sized smartphone accessory. Scope out the details below. 

Sony is readying its 15th anniversary of PlayStation Plus celebration. There’s still time to go claim the June PlayStation Plus freebies that were announced as part of the Days of Play sale, but Sony has now taken to the official PlayStation Blog to announce the July titles alongside some extra bonuses. There will once again be three new titles members can download for FREE starting next week, but Sony is also revealing some PlayStation Plus 15th Anniversary goodies as well. Details below. 

Over the years, I have tested wallets of all shapes, form factors, functions, and sizes, from traditional bi-folds to MagSafe wallets to wallets made of metal. Some were great, some were not so much. But even with the ones that I like, I always felt like I was sacrificing something. Whether it was not enough for the cards to fit, or there were no mgsafe capabilities, or the wallet was too thick. So when I saw the new Puncube Mech wallet and saw their fan-out mechanism to display their cards, I knew I had to try it. After using it daily, here’s why it’s officially my new favorite wallet.

NVIDIA has been adding new GPUs to its RTX 50-series and the latest one on the block is the RTX 5050 graphics card. The brand has announced the launch of this new GPU for both desktops and laptops, complete with support for ray tracing and DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation. The RTX 5050 desktop GPU will start at $249 when it goes on sale next month from third-party partners like ASUS, Gigabyte, and more, and you can expect the notebooks powered by NVIDIA’s RTX 5050 laptop GPUs to start at $999. Head below for more details.

Today Nomad is debuting its brand new Leather Mag Wallet – a leather MagSafe wallet complete with Apple Find My tracking tech. The brand already makes my personal favorite Find My wallet tracking card, and recently started bundling it with its traditional leather card holders and bifold wallets with a discount, but today’s reveal combines both into a traditional MagSafe wallet that attaches to the back of your iPhone. 

Meta teased an Xbox-branded Quest VR headset last year when it announced the launch of the Xbox app on Quest, and it’s finally here. The brand’s new Xbox-branded limited-edition Quest 3S VR headset is now official and it’s going on sale today for $399.99 shipped at Best Buy and meta.com. This is essentially a custom colorway headset that comes bundled with an Xbox controller, and it boots directly into the Xbox app. Head below for more details.

After Donkey Kong Bananza releases next month on July 17, the summer Switch 2 release schedule is looking a bit thin if you ask me. That said, Nintendo just unleashed a new trailer for its upcoming Drag X Drive in the Nintendo Today! app officially revealing the August release date. 

Following the announcement of its new Xbox PC gaming handheld, Microsoft has now confirmed that it’s testing a new aggregated game library in the Xbox PC app for Windows 11 PCs and handheld devices. Officially confirmed via the Xbox Wire, the move is designed to improve access to game libraries – not just on traditional PCs, but more importantly on Windows-based gaming handhelds like the Lenovo Legion Go and ROG Ally. This is a welcomed move that’s expected to significantly improve the gaming experience on Microsoft’s upcoming handheld, and you can learn more about the aggregated game library below.

The Amazon July Prime Day sale is just over two weeks out now, we already have the details on Target’s competitor sale, Best Buy launched its members-only event this morning, and now we know what Walmart has planned. The retailer has now officially announced its big-time July sale as the simply named Walmart Deals event is now scheduled to take flight starting on Tuesday July 8 at 12 a.m. ET. All of the details we have are awaiting down below. 

While Switch 2 consoles have been all but entirely sold out online at major retailers since launch week, Walmart has now confirmed it will have more units up for sale starting next week. Both the Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World bundle and the Switch 2 console will be live on line starting June 25, but you’ll want to head below for the exact times and some additional details. 

It it’s time to take a look at the upcoming Switch 2 game release schedule. The Switch 2 is clearly off to a wonderful start in terms of sales and Mario Kart World has (mostly) been a big hit among gamers, but despite Switch 2 delivering a more or less solid launch lineup as far as new console launches go, there still feels like something is missing for me. That said, there are some wonderful upgraded Switch 1 games to enjoy and whole host of notable titles on the horizon, both this year and next. 

Today Journey is expanding its LOC8 Find My collection with the all-new VERSA MagSafe Money Clip Wallet. It now joins the standard LOC8 Finder Wallet, but this time with a real leather finish and an interior cash clip alongside the built-in Apple Find My tech. Now available for purchase with a 20% discount applied at checkout, you can get a closer look and more details down below. 

Just after unveiling its all-new flagship Gen 2 Ultra earbuds, Bose is also looking to amp up the summer further with its new SoundLink Plus Portable Bluetooth Speaker. Taking after the latest Max model in terms of design, the new Plus variants lands as a mid-size model with a more portable form-factor and a lower price point in three colorways. Scope out the details below. 

The Pokémon Company just announced the next big drop for the Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket, and it’s a must-have for Eevee fans.

Mario Kart World and the rest of the Nintendo Switch 2 launch games are out in the wild now, but the next major release on Nintendo’s schedule is Donkey Kong Bananza. The all-new 3D DK game has a ton of Super Odyssey vibes, and we have already had a decent look at the game, but there is still more Nintendo wants to show us before its release on Switch 2 come July 17. And today’s dedicated Donkey Kong Bananza Nintendo Direct presentation starts soon. 

Update 6/20: Target has now informed us its Prime Day competitor sale will actually start on July 6 and run through until July 12.

As we reported previously, Amazon is once again winding up to unleash its first Prime Day event of the year and we now have official confirmation it will kick off the four-day sale event on July 8. This also traditionally indicates some major sales from the competition, including the likes of Best Buy and Walmart, but according to our sources, the next Target Circle Week is getting ready to take on the Prime Day event on July 13 July 6. 

Satechi already makes one of the nicest accessories for your M4 Mac mini with its Stand & Hub featuring an SSD enclosure, but the options are expanding starting today. The brand has now launched its new USB4 Slim NVMe SSD Enclosure featuring a design, fit, and form-factor made specifically with the M4 Mac mini in mind. Now available for purchase at $119.99 directly from the official site, you can get more details down below. 

We knew it was coming, but Amazon has now officially revealed the dates for Prime Day 2025. The July Prime Day event will take place from July 8 through to July 11. Amazon is taking things up a notch this year, expanding the usual 2-day event to four with “millions of deals” and a new “Today’s Big Deals” feature with a rotating series of deals from “from top brands like Samsung, Kiehl’s, and Levi’s.” All of the details are down below. 

Nintendo has now officially announced a dedicated Donkey Kong Bananza Direct showcase scheduled for later this week. After the debut of Mario Kart World on launch day earlier this month, the next major Switch 2 exclusive scheduled to launch for the next-generation console is now over a month away and we will all be getting more details on Donkey Kong’s new 3D adventure in this week’s Direct showcase. 

Spigen is expanding its C1 accessory lineup – you know, the gear designed after the iconic iMac G3 – with an all-new Apple Watch charger stand. The new C1 charger stand follows in the footsteps of the C1 iPhone case, MagSafe wallet, and more, featuring a semi-transparent and vibrantly-colored shell directly inspired by the Jony Ive-designed iMac G3 – the first major Apple product release under Steve Jobs. 

Update: The mention below regarding the inner flap needing to be longer might actually be a bigger problem than it first appeared after the first week of testing. You should avoid this case as the inner zipper might damage the Switch 2 if you’re not super careful with it.

There’s loads of Switch 2 cases out there already, but the fabric-like finish and minimalist approach of the Spigen Klasden caught my eye. If you’re into the flashy, colorful models, you’ll want to look elsewhere, but if you like what you’re seeing from the Klasden in the images, head below for some hands-on impressions.

I’ve been on the hunt for a new portable SSD solution and, despite some of the issues its drives have had in past years, SanDisk’s Extreme lineup has been a reliable one for me so opted to test out the latest SanDisk Extreme PRO with USB4. While data transfer speed rates have been spotty at times without modern Thunderbolt 5 ports, it has otherwise been a reliable solution worth considering for all but the most hardcore professionals out there. Let’s dive in.

Today, Bose is unveiling the next-generation of its flagship wireless earbuds with the new QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen). The previous models are widely considered to be among the best options out there, going toe-to-toe with Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 and Sony’s XM5 buds, but now Bose is going to be the first to jump into the next-generation with what could be anywhere from 6 months or (much) more of a head start on the expected upcoming AirPods Pro 3. The new edition brings everything we already know and love about the current version alongside some key improvements in the adaptive noise cancellation, voice pickup, and wireless charging departments. 

While most of the major summer gaming showcases are behind us now – Summer Game Fest, PlayStation State of Play, and the Xbox Game Showcase, Konami’s Press Start starts now (at 9 a.m. ET). This will be your next major chance at more details and gameplay footage for the highly-anticipated upcoming Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater as well as Silent Hill f. Check it all out down below. 

Update 6/11 at noon ET: Now live!

• Nintendo Switch 2 Console
• Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle

Best Buy has now officially confirmed it will have limited Nintendo Switch 2 inventory online today. In a surprise move, and after skipping out on online orders for launch week, Best Buy has sent out an email specifically stating that it will have more Switch 2 console units in-stock today (June 11). 

In our continued efforts to ensure your Switch 2 experience is a smooth one, today we are touching on the “Battery Charge Indicator” issue Nintendo has identified. Over on the official support page for Switch 2, Nintendo is suggesting that some Switch 2 console units are experiencing some minor issues with regards to the “Battery Charge Indicator or Percentage Displays” – here’s how to fix it. 

Today one of our favorite leather Apple gear accessory makers is announcing its first new launch of 2025 with the all-new Burton Goods Slim Magnetic Leather iPad Case for Apple’s M4 iPad Pro. Now available for purchase in the 11- and 13-inch sizes, you can also use our exclusive BG15 code at checkout the knock 15% off your order. Head below for a closer look. 

While it might not be the new 3D Mario Switch 2 you are waiting for, today Nintendo is officially revealing the new Splatoon Raiders. Officially dubbed the first first-ever Splatoon spinoff game, Raiders is coming exclusively to Nintendo Switch 2 alongside a FREE update for Splatoon 3 and you can check the debut trailer and all of the details below. 

Satechi recently expanded its collection of FindAll accessories with its new Find My-equipped Keychain, Luggage Tag, Glasses Case, and the wallet Card we are taking a closer look at today. The brand’s Find My passport holder was hit around here last year – it has remained my go-to solution ever since – and I have high hopes for the new Satechi FindAll Card too. Head below for my hands-ion impressions. 

With the latest State of Play and 2025 Summer Game Fest showcases behind us, it is now time for Xbox to take center stage. As we reported back in April, the major Xbox Game Showcase is scheduled to go live today to cap off the major summer gaming presentations, and all starts very soon. Tune in below. 

Summer is here, and I opened my pool for the season with the help of the AquaSense 2 Ultra robotic pool cleaner from Beatbot. This AI-powered pool robot has 5-in-1 cleaning capabilities, several accessories, and a handy app with some excellent features.

Capcom has officially unveiled Resident Evil 9, or Resident Evil Requiem as it is officially known. Rumors surfaced all over the net the last week about what appeared to be an imminent upcoming reveal, and it is now officially here. Scope out the announcement trailer below. 

Summer Game Fest 2025 is set to take the stage today for lengthy live stream directly from YouTube Theater in California. The fifth annual gaming showcase has quickly become one of, if not, the biggest event of the gaming calendar (save for the Switch 2 bonanza this year of course), and it is once again set to debut hours worth of game reveals, world premieres, updates, and much more. 

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the new Switch 2 this week, and while the setup process was relatively easy, I had a bunch of unanswered questions. The questions centered mostly around game transfers, what Virtual games are, and what happens to my old Switch that I still want to keep and hand it down to a child. After doing some research, I got all my questions answered, and the solution is, well, not the best. Here is what you should know.

We are now onto day 2 of the Switch 2 launch. We saw another short blast of console availability early this morning at Target (we will keep a close eye throughout the day for more), but we wanted to once again highlight all of the new Switch 2 releases that are still in stock (at the time of writing) as well as touch down to inform folks about a couple new eShop sales that went live over the last 12 hours or so: the Devolver Digital event from $2.50 loaded with some brilliant indies and the Monster Hunter eShop sale from $10. But now it’s on to the Switch 2 games  now available for purchase that released yesterday.

Update 6/6 at 4:15 a.m.: Nintendo Switch 2 now available at Target, including the console only and the Mario Kart World bundle:

• Nintendo Switch 2 Console
• Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle

Nintendo Switch 2 has now officially released and is available for purchase online (or will be very soon – midnight ET). Years in the making, and years of waiting, it has finally happened and the next-generation of Nintendo gaming is now out in the wild. If you’re not picking up your pre-order in-store, waiting for it to land on your doorstep tomorrow morning, or lining up to buy one on location right now, Walmart and others now have the new console up for sale!

Walmart will be your best source to buy one tonight:

Walmart – Nintendo Switch 2 launch

• Nintendo Switch 2 Console
• Nintendo Switch 2 + Mario Kart World Bundle
• Switch 2 accessories/games

One of the biggest sleepers of the whole Switch 2 launch has to be the new Pro Controller. I have been blown away by the material, build quality, size, and sound dampening, especially. At first I thought that $85 was a bit steep for a controller, but after using it for a day, I now see that it might be the best value in console controllers.

Hopefully, if you were on the lookout for a new Switch 2, you could get one during the launch day festivities! Alongside the release, Nintendo released a few new titles as well as Switch 2 updates to those titles. Most importantly, for me, the new Switch 2 update for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is here!

While we have seen some mobile focused gaming gear from Belkin in the past, alongside some other odds and ends, it is officially entering the gaming accessory space today with its new Charging Case for Nintendo Switch 2. It is now available for purchase and you can get all of the details below.
