I tested this MagSafe wallet for a month and now I can't live without it — especially at 44% off
Everyone knows I don't use a traditional wallet anymore. Nowadays, you'll find me testing out MagSafe wallets that let me carry my credit cards and driver's license without making it look like I'm packing a brick in my pocket. For the last month, though, I've been testing out the ESR MagSafe Wallet with Find My — and I can't go back to anything else! For a limited time, you can get the ESR MagSafe Wallet with Find My for $24 on Amazon. There's a 16% off discount, but you can snag additional savings by using coupon code "ESRGEOMW" at check out — which is unbelievable given that it normally costs $42. Save big on the ESR MagSafe Wallet with Find My function thanks to the 44% off savings on Amazon right now. You'll need to use coupon code ESRGEOMW at check out to get it down to $24. This MagSafe wallet isn't just sleek and lets you carry a bunch of cards, but you can also keep track of its location thanks to its support of Apple's Find My service. I've tested dozens of MagSafe wallets, including a couple of other ones from ESR. What makes this one special is that it checks off nearly all the boxes I want in the perfect MagSafe wallet. First of all, its folding design tucks away two main compartments that allow me to cram up to 6 cards — my driver's license, two debit cards, Metrocard, insurance card, and my work card. I really like how the interior card slit has a plastic cover that lets you see through it, which makes it a cinch reading out the numbers on my credit card when I'm buying something online — all without having to physically remove it from the wallet. Meanwhile, there's an extendable strap on the back that almost functions as a grip to hold my iPhone. Similar to other MagSafe wallets I've tested, like the Supcase MagFlip Stand, I can unfold the ESR for Magsafe Wallet to act as a stand for my iPhone. It's even strong enough to hold my iPhone 16 Pro Max horizontally while accessing StandBy mode when I'm charging it. The magnetic connection is that strong, so I've been confident about how it's held up so far. Lastly, the best part about it is that it has native Find My support to let me keep track of its location. Rather than using an AirTag or any one of the best of those other credit card sized Find My trackers, it's all integrated here. Plus, it doesn't make the wallet bulky or anything. If there's one complaint I have, it has to be that it uses a proprietary charging port instead of a traditional USB-C port. It's one thing I need to be mindful about, but I've yet to recharge it. In fact, it's still showing nearly a full charge after a month of using it. ESR says that the battery can last upwards of 3 months. After trying this one out for more than a month now, it's going to be hard to try anything else because of how this one's just about perfect. Plus, you can't beat the savings right now at $24 for a MagSafe wallet with all of this functionality.

Surprise! This 65-inch Sony LED TV just hit its lowest price ever on Amazon
TVs are getting cheaper and cheaper these days, but you rarely see Sony models dip under $1,000, especially one as good and feature-rich as this. Right now, you can get the 65-inch Sony Bravia XR X90L LED TV for $898 on Amazon. That's a huge slashing on one of our favorite TVs from 2024, and the lowest price yet for the X90L to date. In our Sony Bravia X90L review, we hailed its HDR performance, anti-glare properties, and black levels, making it the ideal choice for movie lovers. The Sony X90L also uses full array local dimming to give you clear and concise contrast. And there are also PS5 exclusive features like Auto Genre Picture Mode and Auto HDR Tone Mapping, which means you can expect to get the best performance from your gaming console. The Sony X90L LED TV is a serious entertainment display. Sony knows its HDR and color specs, which are built off the back of its reference monitors, and the X90L shines with incredible contrast and black levels. I tested the Sony X90L TV last year and was blown away by its picture performance. What stood out for me was its HDR prowess in content like the "The Batman" and "3 Body Problem." Even its motion processing had a pep in its step that I truly enjoyed. Even though its an LED display, the X90L still handled glare quite well. I never had an issue watching darker shows or movies even in the middle of the day, which was a pleasant surprise. Of course, it's a Sony TV after all, so you can also expect to have some PS5-exclusive features in the mix. While I personally wasn't a huge fan of its high input latency, the X90L still does well in delivering best-in-class gaming performance for a display at this price. The X90L was one of my favorite TVs to test last year. And this is a killer deal if you want a premium set for less right now.

Back to school tablet deals — 7 deals I'd shop from $209 on iPad, Samsung Galaxy Tab, Microsoft Surface and more
If a laptop just isn't your style, you'll want to shop these deals on some of the best tablets before you head back to school or college. These slates offer a more flexible, portable experience than a laptop — and often at a lower price, too. For starters, right now you can get our favorite tablet ever, the 11-inch iPad Air M3 (Wi-Fi/256GB) on sale for $499 at Amazon ($100 off.) This device delivers the full package, with a lightweight design, blazing-fast performance, and 10-hour battery life. Or, you can currently get the Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite (Wi-Fi/64GB) on sale for $209 at Amazon ($120 off.) This one is especially tempting because it comes with an S Pen stylus, making it perfect for note-taking and drawing. Keep scrolling to see the tablet deals I recommend. Plus, see our Amazon promo codes coverage and check out the Skechers deals I'd shop from $22 at Amazon. Looking for an affordable, lightweight Android tablet that doesn't skimp on screen size? Samsung's Galaxy Tab S6 Lite certainly fits the bill. The Tab S6 Lite boasts a crisp 10.4-inch display and comes with an S Pen in the box, making it ideal for those who want to sketch or take notes on the go. The 2025 iPad features a larger 11-inch (2360 x 1640) screen, A16 CPU, 12MP rear/front cameras, USB-C connectivity, and Magic Keyboard Folio ($249) support. The base model features 128GB of storage, which doubles the capacity of its predecessor. It's available in 128GB, 256GB, and 512GB capacities. This one's for the artists (and doodlers) out there. TCL's NXTPAPER 14 is now $20 off, and it offers a 14.3-inch 2.4K paper-like display that works great when used with the T-Pen stylus (that's sold separately). But it also delivers great image quality for watching shows or scrolling through the web in regular mode. Whether you're a student or artist, this is a great bet. It's only recently released, but the fantastic Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 FE is already $50 off! Not a bad price for a mid-range tablet that comes with an S Pen stylus, a splendid (and larger) 13.1-inch LCD panel and a 15-hour battery life. This is great value for money! The 2025 iPad Air packs Apple's M3 processor, an 11-inch LED (2360 x 1640) display, 128GB of storage, a 12MP rear camera and a new landscape-oriented 12MP front camera. You also get faster Wi-Fi 6E support. In our iPad Air 2025 review, we said it brings impressive performance and power efficiency to a premium, sleek package. The 11-inch iPad Pro packs Apple's latest M4 processor paired with a stunning 11-inch Tandem OLED (2420 x 1668) display. The new M4 processor features 9 CPU cores and 10 GPU cores. In our iPad Pro 2024 review, we said it could very well be the most stunning tablet ever made. Our Microsoft Surface Pro Copilot Plus review called this "the best Surface in years." It's powered by a speedy Snapdragon X Elite processor and also packs a gorgeous display, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. It's super thin and light and also has great battery life — our unit lasted over 12 hours in our battery life tests.
