Prime Day

The Belkin BoostCharge Pro with MagSafe, our overall top pick when it comes to magnetic iPhone chargers, is just $19.99 ($30 off) at Amazon. That’s a new low for the charging puck, which charges at 15W just like Apple’s pricier model.
It’s even got a little kickstand for propping up your phone on a table to watch videos.

Prime members who miss the old-fashioned instant film experience can buy the Polaroid Now Plus with some colorful filter lenses thrown in for $93 ($57 off) at Amazon. Like the classic Polaroid 600, the camera produces retro-style photos that are more artistic than true-to-life with a few extra modern conveniences peppered in, like a companion app with various creative modes.

Nintendo’s recent blockbuster arguably overshadowed the release of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, which is a shame because Respawn’s spacefaring sequel to Fallen Order is still a great way to tide your over until the Ahsoka series lands on August 23rd.

I get really nervous about losing luggage, and so something as handy as this carry-on backpack, which was recommended by our own Kaitlin Hatton, will definitely catch my attention. (Unless, of course, you’re willing to trust the airlines and check in your stuff.) It is now part of Amazon’s Prime Day sale, priced at $42.89, about $12 lower than its usual price.

Look, the Pixel Fold is the new hotness and we know the Z Fold 5 is coming in just a couple weeks, but both of those are going to cost you close to $2,000. Last year’s Z Fold 4, meanwhile, is still an excellent device and with today’s $700 discount, much more attainable than those other folding phones.

Since launching its first pair of noise-canceling earbuds a year ago, Google has added useful new features to the Pixel Buds Pro like customizable EQ and immersive spatial audio with head tracking.

Amazon Prime members can get a multicolored four-pack of Case-Mate’s adorable 30W USB-C GaN II chargers that look like classic iMacs for just $39.99 ($10 off).

Part of Amazon’s Prime Day sale, the Chom Chom Pet Hair Remover rolls over your carpet, furniture, and even clothing to remove what your cat or dog has left behind. The tool is currently on a lightning sale for $19.99, about $12 off its regular price, and is one of our favorite pet gadgets.

Asus’s 14-inch powerhouse is currently our top pick for best gaming laptop, and all kinds of different of models are currently on sale for Prime Day.

Breville’s super-popular Barista Express is $550 for Prime Day, down from $750. I’ve used this machine every day, multiple times a day for the past three years. I’m drinking a latte I made with it as I type this, as a matter of fact. If you’re interested in home espresso but don’t want to invest a small fortune, it’s the way to go.

Even The Verge Merch Store is having a sale today and you can get 20 percent off anything in it, including these sweet joggers. (Or sweatpants, if you’re an old like me.) The discount applies automatically at checkout.

Nomad makes some stylish products, but it charges a fair premium for it. However, the current 30 percent discount on Nomad’s site also includes its new, cheaper Stand and Base MagSafe-compatible chargers.

I have to admit that I get an instinctively panicky reaction to large insects — especially waterbugs — and so this Amazon Prime sale on the Bugzooka bug catcher vacuum (as recommended in our roundup of our favorite summer gear) is especially tempting: it’s currently $36.99 down from its usual price of $44.

The Google Pixel 6A is just $249 today, down from its newly reduced price of $349. A 6.1-inch 1080p OLED, IP67 rating, and security updates for the next four years? Try and find that on any other phone under $300.

A two-pound jug of my favorite protein powder (shoutouts to Casey) is $28.99, down from a typical $37 to $45. I have consumed probably 80 pounds of this stuff in the past six years. This is a good price for Amazon, but it might be cheaper locally.

Part of Amazon’s Prime Day sale, the Chom Chom Pet Hair Remover rolls over your carpet, furniture, and even clothing to remove what your cat or dog has left behind. The tool is currently on sale for $24.99, about $7 off its regular price, and is one of our favorite pet gadgets.

The Keychron V1 mechanical keyboard is currently on sale for $79.99 ($20 off) at Amazon, pre-built with red linear switches or brown tactile switches. It’s a Prime Day Lightning Deal, so it may not last long.

Amazon’s Prime Day is a good time to go searching for deals on stuff you’ve been planning to buy; it’s an even better time if the stuff is one of Amazon’s devices, such as an Echo, a Kindle or a Fire TV. Here’s a list of today’s sales on Amazon tech.

Well, then you may want to consider Amazon’s latest Fire TV Cube, which is on sale for Prime members right now at Amazon for $109.99 ($40 off). The speedy gadget is a good hybrid Echo speaker and Fire TV device that comes with some neat hands-free voice controls, which help distinguish it from pretty much every other streaming device out there.

Amazon is trying something new with Prime Day this year: invite-only deals. The ones that have been announced so far have been pretty ho-hum, but it appears Motorola’s flip-style Razr Plus will be on sale for Prime members for $849.99 — that is, if you sign up for the deal ahead of July 11th.
