2-Pack Apple official silicone and leather iPhone 6/Plus cases from $31 shipped (Orig. $70)


Best Buy is currently running a special promotion on clearance cell phone accessories: Buy 2 (or more) and save 50% on each item. The extra discount is automatically taken during checkout as long as your order qualifies for the promo. Many different accessories are eligible including selfie sticks and screen protectors, but the best deal we’ve found is for Apple official iPhone cases.

Apple iPhone 6/Plus silicone and leather cases in multiple colors are already slightly discounted, but drop even further thanks to this promotion. For example, your total cost for 2 iPhone 6 silicone cases is just $30.99 shipped for both. The only thing to keep in mind here is that these are the previous generation cases. Apple released updated cases alongside iPhone 6s, but these older models should fit the new iPhones just fine.

Looking to go super low-cost? We have some iPhone case deals as low as $1 right now.

Best Buy makes a splash with the lowest Apple Watch prices ever, deals start at just $249

Apple Watch is at the top of many holiday wish lists this year and luckily for gift shoppers it’s received numerous discounts since Black Friday. In fact, Target and B&H are both offering significant Apple Watch promotions right now.

This morning Best Buy jumped into the fray with the best straight up Apple Watch deal we’ve ever seen: $100 off any Apple Watch Sport or Apple Watch model. More than 20 different watch configurations are eligible for this discount. The smaller 38mm Sport models start at just $249 with free shipping. In comparison, past deals only offered a savings of $50 on Sport models and some also tossed in a free gift card. Best Buy’s deal represents the lowest out-the-door price we’ve seen for any Apple Watch in new condition.

Use your savings to grab a charging dock for your nightstand or desk. I’d recommend Nomad’s Apple Watch Stand (on sale for $41), Twelve South’s HiRise ($50), or one of Spigen’s low-cost options (from $11).

Best of Black Friday — Apple: deals on iPad Air 2, iPhone 6s/Plus, Apple Watch, Macs, more!

The absolute last place you want to shop for iPhone, iPad, and Mac deals this Black Friday is the Apple Store. Historically, Apple’s participation in the biggest shopping day of the year has been limited to offering super modest (borderline insulting) discounts or free iTunes Gift Cards. We suspect this year won’t be any different.

On the flip side, other major retailers including Best Buy, Target, and Staples are extending huge discounts to many of Apple’s flagship products. To help you plan your holiday shopping, we’ve pored over every Black Friday ad available to bring you the very best upcoming Apple deals:

However, we’ve put together the top 5 things you can do this Black Friday to improve your chances of grabbing the hottest online deals:

Best Buy lands the first major blow in this year’s battle for holiday shoppers

(Update 10/23 12:05pm): Target’s Toy Book ad leak reveals that the retailer is also going to offer free shipping for all online holiday orders. (via BFAds)

The holiday shopping season is starting to heat up. Earlier this week we saw the first major Black Friday ad leak and now Best Buy has made a major announcement that could force the hands of other retailers.

Starting this Sunday and running through the new year, Best Buy will offer free standard shipping on all orders. There’s no order minimum, but all items must be sold by and shipped from Best Buy. The current order minimum for free shipping is $35. It’s worth noting that My Best Buy Elite members get free standard shipping year-round on all orders.

Other retailers including Amazon, Walmart and Target also offer free shipping without order minimums, but they require paid memberships or store-specific credit cards. Best Buy’s move will likely go a long way in helping them win over the rest of consumers who aren’t already in bed with another retailer.

I-Venstar via Amazon offers its Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speaker for $34.99. When you use the coupon code D7WOZK62 the price drops to $25.99 Prime shipped. That’s $9 off the sale price and the lowest it’s been offered at Amazon. This heavy duty Bluetooth and NFC speaker is waterproof, dustproof and shockproof. The powerful 3600mAh built-in lithium battery provides up to 10 hours of playback time and a standard USB jack lets you use it as a power bank.

Bose SoundLink Mini Portable Bluetooth Speaker $159 (Orig. $200)

Amazon offers the Bose SoundLink Mini for $159 with free shipping, which is $41 below its original price and amongst the lowest deals we’ve seen that doesn’t require rebates or unique coupon codes. Best Buy and B&H have also dropped their prices. There’s no doubt this deal was brought forward due to the SoundLink Mini II being released over the summer (review here). But the original SoundLink Mini remains one of our all-time favorite portable Bluetooth speakers, so you’re still getting a solid performer with this deal. It includes a charging cradle and AUX port, but sound quality (especially bass) is this speaker’s best feature. More than 6,200 Amazon reviewers rate it 4.7 out of 5 stars.

Looking for something at a lower price point? Best Buy has the Sony SRSX3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker for $59.99 shipped. That’s $70 better than its original price and the lowest price we can find. Rated 4.6 out of 5 stars from 239 Amazon reviewers.

Both of these fast microSD cards are good candidates for your Android smartphone/tablet and digital camera. However, I’d stick with the Pro version if you’re planning to use it in a GoPro. You could also pick up one of these handy adapters to use either of these memory cards as semi-permanent storage for your MacBook Air or Pro.

Update (3/9 7:25am): After a delay, Best Buy has officially launched the new $30 pricing online.

I’ve previously told you about the fantastic savings gamers can achieve through Best Buy’s Gamers Club Unlocked (GCU), which offers 20% discounts on new games (and a bunch of other benefits) for two full years. Today, Best Buy announced that it’s officially dropping the price of GCU from $100 to $30 starting March 8, with membership to be available online and in stores. That matches the lowest GCU price Best Buy has offered.

Best Buy notes that Nintendo’s amiibo are also part of the deal: just like new games, 20% off an Amiibo on day one is probably the best deal you’ll find anywhere. See our amiibo guide for a list of the current and upcoming toys you’ll be able to get discounts on.

Many gamers will find that the $30 Unlocked membership pays for itself in one month, with 23 months of additional great deals. You save $12 every time you purchase a $60 game, and can get an additional $10 pre-order bonus for upcoming games including Batman: Arkham KnightHalo 5: Guardians, and Mortal Kombat X, chopping their prices to $38 each. Read on for the other benefits of the Gamers Club Unlocked deal…

Buy a new smartphone (including iPhone 6/Plus) at Best Buy and get a free $150 or $200 gift card

(Update 2/27 6:36pm): Our apologies, this promo is only for new activations, not upgrades. The original draft of this post was incorrect.

Best Buy will give you a free $150 or $200 gift card when you activate a line with any new smartphone on Verizon, AT&T, or Sprint. You’ll need to do so using carrier installment plans: Verizon Edge, AT&T Next, or Sprint Easy Pay/Leasing — upgrades of any kind and of course, full-priced no-commitment smartphone purchases are not eligible for the gift card bonus.

AT&T and Verizon new line activations will yield a free $150 gift card, while Sprint will get you $200 (in-store only).

The promo covers a range of smartphones including iPhone 6/Plus (in-store pickup only), iPhone 5s/c, LG G2, HTC One M8, Nokia Lumia 1520, and several others.
