Ringke $4 phone cases
If your phone case has seen better days, you can slip on a new one from Ringke for $4 today. There are too many to list here, but head over to this post for all of the options and promo codes.
APC Back-UPS 850 VA UPS battery backup, $73
This 850VA/450W APC UPS battery backup gives you a few options during a power outage:
- Power multiple PCs long enough to save your work and shut them down safely
- Run your router and modem for several hours to stay online
- Recharge your phones and tablets for days on end, if it’s a really bad outage
Needless to say, people don’t think they need an uninterruptible power supply until they really, really need one, at which point it’s too late. So go ahead and pick one up from Amazon’s Gold Box today for an all-time low of $73. Just remember that this deal is one-day only, so don’t let the power go out on this price.
Bestek power strip, $12 with code GTQ46FH6
This $12 Bestek power strip plugs straight into the wall without obscuring any extra outlets and includes three AC outlets plus four USBs. That should be enough to power everything on your desk at work or the nightstand by your bed.
Roku Premiere+ streaming box, $79
Roku’s Premiere+ is one of the only streaming boxes in town capable of playing HDR 4K video at 60 FPS, and at $79, it’s by far the cheapest. That’s the best price Amazon’s ever offered on this model, so if it’s been on your wish list, don’t hesitate.
Seagate Backup Plus 2TB external hard drive, $70
Whether you need to be better about backing up your computer or are just so excited that the PS4 finally has external hard drive support, you can get a 2TB Seagate Backup Plus external drive for $70 today, which is about as low as 2TB drives get these days.
Seagate had a spotty reputation a few years ago, but it seems like they’ve cleaned up their act; this model is the current Wirecutter recommendation and has a stellar Amazon review average from more than 11,000 customers.
Platform bed frames, $254 to $347
If you never got around to throwing out the $30 metal bed frame you bought in college, now’s a great time to upgrade. For one day only, Amazon’s selling a great looking wooden mattress frame for $254 to $347, depending on the size.
These 4.6-star-rated frames are built from solid pine and look fantastic for the price. Plus, the included wooden slats mean that you can lay a mattress right on top, no box spring required. Just note that this is a one-day Gold Box deal, so don’t sleep on it.
Arrival, $18
I occasionally play tennis with a professor of linguistics, and he told me that Arrival (mostly) did a great job of portraying how one might theoretically go about deciphering an alien language. Accuracy aside though, it’s just a really good movie (and critically, one that rewards rewatching), so you should buy it for an all-time low of $18 on Blu-ray/digital HD.
1-Year PlayStation Plus membership, $48
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen a decent PlayStation Plus deal, so if your membership is due to expire soon (or not), grab another year for $48 today, which is as low as it’s gotten on Amazon since Sony jacked up the price by $10.
