Amazon is offering the Belkin QODE Ultimate Wireless Keyboard and Case for iPad Air (Black) for $69.99 shipped. That’s around $50 under the original listing, $13 under the next best price from a trusted retailer and the best price we can find.
Features:
This keyboard case has received a 4.3/5 star rating from over 620 Amazon customers. For those in the market for an iPad Air, Apple’s refurbished store is a great place to start for discounts on products that are certified refurbished and come with 1 year warranty from Apple.
More on the Belkin QODE Ultimate:
Turn your iPad Air into a laptop with the Belkin QODE Ultimate Keyboard Case. The well-spaced keys offer the movement and response of a laptop keyboard, making emails and word processing far easier and more comfortable than typing on a tablet’s touchscreen. Smart sensing technology automatically turns the keyboard on when you need to use it, and off when you don’t. The case supports multiple viewing angles to help you find the most comfortable position for watching videos or reading blogs. Made of aircraft grade aluminum, the lightweight keyboard acts as a cover offering exceptional protection for your iPad Air while the case prevents it from being scratched.
Type Comfortably on your iPad Air
The Belkin QODE Ultimate Keyboard Case for iPad Air lets you type easily and comfortably with your tablet. This lightweight, sturdy keyboard case has well-spaced TruType keys that offer the movement and response of a laptop keyboard. You’ll type faster and more accurately than you do on your iPad Air’s touchscreen alone.
The keyboard folds away when you don’t need it and strong neodymium magnets hold your tablet securely at a variety of comfortable angles, so you can comfortably watch videos or browse the internet.
Aluminum Alloy Keyboard Protects Your iPad Air
The keyboard’s base is made of aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. It’s exceptionally lightweight but strong enough to provide hard-shell protection for your iPad Air’s screen when the case is closed. Its base is thinner than the iPad Air, so it keeps your tablet portable and easy to slip into a bag or purse.
Additionally, the case’s high-performance material protects the back of your iPad Air and doubles as a stand, adding function without compromising the case’s ultra-thin profile.
Smart Sensing Technology Saves Battery Life
This keyboard uses smart sensing technology that automatically turns on your keyboard when you need it, and powers it down when you don’t.
The keyboard’s battery provides 264 hours of active use and 4,300 hours of standby time.
Compatibility Information
The Belkin QODE Ultimate Keyboard Case is compatible with the iPad Air.
What’s in the Box
Keyboard case, USB-to-micro-USB charging cable, and quick installation guide.

Tanga offers the Speck CandyShell Grip iPad mini Case in multiple colors for $9.99 shipped. This is a savings of $35 off the original price and the lowest that we can currently find it. This case is rated 4.8/5 stars by 74 Amazon customers. Note: this case is designed for the 1st generation iPad mini, it will fit the 2nd and 3rd generation Retina models but will cover one of the microphones.
The Speck CandyShell Grip iPad mini Case features a hard shell design with raised rubber grips and button covers plus a dual-layer design. Our own Jeremy Horwitz found it to be a solid option for protecting the iPad mini:
Overall, CandyShell and CandyShell Grip for the iPad mini are equally worthy of our high recommendation and A- rating. While there are some tweaks that would make them even better, they’re amongst the very best playthrough-style cases on the market today, and very difficult to fault on quality or overall design.
B&H offers Mid-2013 11.6-inch Apple MacBook Air (model MD712LL/A) for $849 with free shipping. As a pricing comparison, it originally sold for $1,099 and Apple is currently charging $869 for it in refurbished condition. Whats more, B&H only charges sales tax at the time of purchase for buyers in New York.

Update (1/24 9:00am): @ericmata75 is our winner, thank you to everyone for entering our giveaway!
The story goes, as told by co-founder Andrew Allen, that Paper by FiftyThree started out of a love for analog products. That four Microsoft colleagues turned friends with the resources of a Fortune 500 company found a greater passion in a pencil, scissors…and paper. Often Andew, Georg Petschnigg, Jonathan Harris and Julian Walker would sit down and discuss their ideas, talking about possibilities that bounced around in their heads. These brainstorming sessions would always be recorded on a scrap, or coffee filter, napkin or Moleskin, notably they weren’t writing in Word or the like – they were writing everything out.
The feeling of analog products, the feel of cutting paper or dragging a pencil across paper. How do they bring that feeling to a digital world? It was at that point, they bunkered down in a 5th floor New York apartment and set out to re-imagine digital design. They set out to make Paper.

Update (1/23 11:46am): the discount code available in this post has now expired.
If you are an iMac user you like nice things. Reaching around to the back of your iMac every time you want to plug in a USB object is not nice. Sure there are options out there. You could drop $15 on a wrap around cord or buy a nice aluminum USB 3 hub (this nice Satechi 7 port is $40 or Powered Anker is $44 or many others have existed for awhile).
If you want something that looks like it came from Apple however, check out the iMacompanion. It is a single USB 3 port that carries the power and speed of the iMac’s USB 3 (also USB 2 compatible for older models) to the base of your iMac. It has a flat USB cord that will snake under your iMac and to the back USB port. All the instructions you need are in the following graphic and a 15% off offer follows:
The big thing here is the quality: the housing is 100% aluminum and it is designed to fit perfectly onto your iMac.

Update (1/15 10:30am): Best Stop Deals via eBay Daily Deals also has the Apple iPad Polyurethane Smart Covers for iPad 2/3/4 starting at $7.99 shipped. Note: these will ship in bulk packaging.
Best Stop Deals via eBay Daily Deals offers the Apple iPad Leather Smart Cover for iPad 2/3/4 in a variety of colors for $14.99 shipped. A few specific notes on this deal: the Navy colored model is currently excluded from this pricing and these items will be shipped in bulk-packaging. Amazon has a variety of colors available as well for a few dollars more, the cream version is less expensive with Prime shipping (free trial). These are the best prices that we can currently find from a trusted retailer.
Typically we see these types of close-out pricing on the polyurethane version of the Smart Cover, so it is of particular note to see the leather cover. We’ve covered Apple products from Best Stop Deals in the past, they have a positive seller rating of 98.5% from over 72,000 customers.
These Smart Covers are designed to protect the front of your iPad screen, while doubling as a stand as well when rolled back. They magnetically cling to the side of the iPad, while the cover itself utilizes magnets within the device to snap shut when closing. Note that these smart covers are designed for iPad 2/3/4.
While they do make great window displays, they are not magical as they might seem.
Update: We found a lower price on MFi Lightning cables: Tecknet MFi 3.3 ft Lightning cable for $6.97 Prime shipped at Amazon. A better deal is the same $6.97 price for the 1.5M version.
Amazon has the MFi Certified Aukey Lightning to USB Cable (3.3ft / 1m) for $9.99. When you enter the coupon code HE7YOXF4 at checkout, the total drops to only $7.99 Prime shipped.

Otherwise make sure to pad your order to $35 to avoid shipping (buy 5!).

More from MacHeist:
When Apple created the Mac App Store, the idea was that a central repository to find and publish apps would benefit both the Mac users and developers. Several years since then, it’s become clear that it benefits neither.
Not only are demos a thing of the past for any app looking to publish on the Mac App Store, but updates that are sometimes critical are delayed by a broken and inconsistent review process. Those two issues are bad, but combined with the fact that independently developed apps have to follow a much stricter set of rules than Apple’s own apps, it’s clear that the only party benefiting from this is Apple.
In protest of this incredibly unfair arrangement, we’ve put together a bundle of 9 incredible apps that can’t be found on the Mac App Store, for just $14.99!
Apple is now offering MUJO as its Free App of the Week. The Oink Games developed puzzler is regularly listed at $1.99 and is now available to download for free on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Rated 4 stars from 37 ratings, this is the first the time the game has gone free since release.

Samsung has announced the latest addition to its line of desktop displays with the SE790C extra-wide curved 34-inch monitor. This follows up the 27-inch SD590C from September that started Samsung’s curved monitor endeavors. The 21:9 aspect ratio is able to handle a resolution of up to 3,440×1,4000 with a pixel density of roughly 110, which surpasses 1080p and compares favorably to the 34-inch LG UM95.
The SE790C is built for an “immersive and comfortable viewing experience” that also focuses on multi-tasking while maximizing the monstrous 34-inch display. Samsung claims that “all curves are not created equally”, touting a curve that aligns with the natural shape on a human eye ball. This allows for equal-distant viewing for peripheral vision as well which Samsung says makes it easier to see more of the screen at once.
Samsung is packing features that we’d expect to see in a flagship display offering, such as picture-in-picture, USB 3.0 and HDMI inputs. Pricing has not yet been announced, but we expect to see a follow-up with more information at CES in January where we’ll have a full team on site.
Samsung Electronics Introduces SE790C Curved Monitor for the Ultimate in Immersive and Comfortable Viewing
Samsung Electronics introduces its newest and most advanced curved monitor, model SE790C, delivering an enhanced immersive and comfortable viewing experience for multi-media entertainment and multi-tasking. Alongside an optimized curvature design, ultra-wide quad high definition (ULTRA-WQHD) resolution and a superior contrast ratio, the new 34-inch curved monitor SE790C offers enhanced productivity and entertainment functionality within a sophisticated and ergonomic design.
“All curves are not created equal. Samsung’s SE790C offers an industry-leading and award-winning curvature for a truly immersive, comfortable and differentiating viewing experience,” said Seoggi Kim, Senior Vice President, Visual Display Business, Samsung Electronics. “Combined with superior picture quality, productivity and entertainment-enhancing technology features, and design sophistication, our latest curved monitor delivers on our brand promise to push the limits of what display solutions and innovative technology can deliver.”
The innovative 3000R(curvature radius of 3,000mm) design of the SE790C provides a noticeably different viewing experience from traditional flat screen monitors and competitive curved monitors. Unlike flat screen monitors where the viewing distance differs from the center of the screen to the edges, the screen edges of the SE790C more closely match the natural curve of a viewer’s eyes. As a result, the SE790C creates a distortion-free viewing experience with less eye strain and enhanced comfort for viewer.
In fact, the curved monitor’s superior eye comfort has been validated by TÜV Rheinland, a leading international certification organization. The rigorous certification process involved an evaluation of the monitor’s color presentation, color uniformity, viewing angle, and curved space and flicker-free operation.
An edge-to-edge curve also enables panoramic-like viewing, creating a wider and fuller field of view, and a more immersive visual experience. The monitor’s optimal curved design creates a high 3D-like effect ratio that makes the screen seem larger than a flat screen of the same size. This 3D-like effect increases when depth becomes larger or the viewing distance becomes closer.
To ensure multi-media content can be enjoyed with the finest picture quality, clarity and intensity it deserves, the Samsung SE790C features a 21:9 aspect ratio and ULTRA-WQHD resolution of 3,440 by 1,440 pixels to deliver stunning picture quality.
Complemented by a wide viewing angle, the monitor’s best-in-class static contrast ratio of 3,000:1 and 300 cd/m2 typical brightness result in dynamic lighting and shading for lifelike pictures with deeper blacks, vivid colors and sharper detail. The extra-wide viewing angle of 178 degrees horizontally and vertically optimizes the viewing experience from any position and minimizes picture distortion.
An array of features take multi-tasking, gaming and movie watching to the next level. The SE790C comes equipped with Picture-by-Picture (PbP) and Picture-in-Picture (PiP) 2.0 functions for enhanced work efficiency. PbP allows users to easily connect two devices, such as a desktop, laptop, gaming device (Xbox, PlayStation, etc.) or Set-Top Box (STB), and view both simultaneously on the monitor without compromising screen real-estate. PiP 2.0 enables multi-tasking without the need to downscale content. The monitor also is equipped with four USB 3.0 super-charging ports to eliminate the need for a docking station and maintain 24/7 connectivity for all your devices.
The SE790C also offers a variety of entertainment-enhancing capabilities, including a unique game mode, high-quality stereo sound and fast response time. Using the game mode, the curved monitor intelligently detects changes in scenes by correcting blurry images, enhancing colors and altering contrast for improved visibility of in-game action. The monitor’s embedded 7-watt dual stereo speakers also deliver a high-quality stereo sound and a richer experience, while a response time of four milliseconds ensures gamers see even the fastest on-screen action clearly and smoothly without motion blur or ghosting.
Constructed from sophisticated metallic materials, the SE790C is designed with a clean and understated look that ensures nothing distracts viewers from the curved screen. The elegantly curved T-shaped, height-adjustable stand (HAS) and clean back with hidden VESA bracket support work together to enhance the monitor’s sophisticated and ergonomic design to maximize productivity and comfort.

This week’s free app from Apple is Brushstroke. Designed to transform your photos into “paintings in one touch,” you can download the app for free on iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. Releasing back in March of this year for $2.99, the lowest we had seen the app go previously was $1 for about a week in April.

iPads need stands. Whether you’re watching videos, long-form typing, or making FaceTime calls, it’s a chore to hold the iPad upright for extended blocks of time. To address that need, Apple launched the first iPad with regular and keyboard docks, but quickly gave up on them in favor of simpler folding lids called Smart Covers.
If you’re looking for an iPad stand or dock, you can do better than that. We know because we’ve tested lots of options for Apple’s tablets. Following up on our guide to iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus docks, we’re looking today at the very best of what’s out there for every iPad, covering four broad categories: simple portable stands, simple desktop stands, cases with integrated stands, and charging docks.

Amazon has the MFi Certified Aukey Lightning to USB Cable (3.3ft / 1m) for $9.99. When you enter the coupon code: SWUJW7NG at checkout, the total drops to only $7.49 Prime shipped. That’s about the lowest you can get for one of these cables certified by Apple. Don’t have Prime get it for free for a month whynot? Otherwise make sure to pad your order to $35 to avoid shipping (buy 5!).
Do you think you may need a longer cable? Amazon also has a 10ft MFi Certified nilogie Lightning to USB cable for $10.99 Prime shipped.
Features include:
Update (12/7 10:30am): Staples (in-store only) has 20% off select iPads: iPad Air from $319, iPad mini 2 from $239, iPad mini from $199, more.
Best Buy matches many of its Black Friday iPad Prices with $50-$100 off Apple’s latest release of iPads with free shipping or site-to-store. That’s tied with the lowest pure prices we’ve seen on many of these models.
Spotify is offering three months of its Premium service for $.99, which will last you well through the holiday season and most of winter! This is deal is specifically for United States users that have not subscribed to the Premium service in the past, at any point. Premium service would usually run $30 for three months, to redeem simply visit Spotify’s homepage and follow the instructions to pick up this deal.
Despite its recent struggles with some artists, Spotify is still at the top when it comes to streaming the largest library of music across multiple devices and platforms. Students can still pick up a pretty nice deal on Spotify, as well.
Today, Valve has announced Steam Broadcasting as part of its beta client. Mac/PC Steam users (anyone who has purchased a game from the service) can now opt in to Steam’s new integrated broadcasting beta, which essentially allows gamers to get full Twitch-like streaming functionality directly inside of the Steam ecosystem.
With the rising popularity of Twitch’s live broadcasting service among gamers (they just sold to Amazon for nearly $1 billion), not to mention its adoption by Sony and Microsoft for their new boxes, it’s not surprising the PC gaming juggernaut would introduce similar functionality. Even better, the new service will come at no additional fee and require no additional software…
Did you pick up an iPad mini during Black Friday? Snap an Apple Smart Cover on it for $15.99 (pink, light/dark gray), $19.99 (green, red) or $24.99 for blue. All of these options will work with iPad mini 2/3.
Each of these Smart Covers carries an original price of $39. You can easily find lower-quality Smart Cover replicas, but I’d recommend spending a couple extra bucks to ensure that you get the real thing. Free shipping on orders of $35+, otherwise just opt for free in-store pickup.
