If you have any upcoming beach trips planned, you’ll want to grab one of these waterproof bags for your phone. Even if you don’t take it out in the ocean, these are worth it just for keeping damaging sand away from your screen. [Newisland Universal Waterproof Cases For Smartphones, $7 with code S3Z75N66]

Update: Sold out, but this highly-rated FRIEQ alternative is just $9.

We see a lot of deals for cheap Bluetooth earbuds, but what if you prefer on-ear headphones? Today only, Amazon’s offering great deals on two highly rated options.

The MEElectronics Runaway headphones come in six bright colors, and will only set you back $35 today, an all-time low. Or, you could opt for the MEElectronics Rumbles, which feature a different design and slightly better battery life for $40. Both models come with a removable cable so you can use them as standard wired headphones, a mic for making calls, and a 4+ star review average.

Just remember, this is a Gold Box deal, meaning these prices are only available today, or until sold out. [Amazon]

MEELectronics Air-Fi Runaway Wireless Headphone ($35) | Amazon | Six colors available.

MEELectronics Air-Fi Rumble Wireless Headphone ($40) | Amazon | Two colors available.

Despite being introduced in 1991 (!!!) Sony’s MDR-7506 headphones were a runner-up in our best headphones Co-Op, and you can get a pair for $80 today, which is one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen. [Sony MDR-7506 Headphones, $80]

You won’t feel like such a rube bringing your lunch to work with these discounted lunch boxes. The Francois et Mimi Bento box includes three stacking compartments that you can add or remove at will, and the ECOlunchbox is made of stainless steel, and just looks really cool.

Francois et Mimi Multi-Compartment Stackable Bento Lunch Box ($10) | Amazon

ECOlunchbox Three-in-One Stainless Steel Food Container Set ($21) | Amazon

If you’ve been meaning to pick up a new SSD for your PC, you won’t do much better than this 250GB Samsung 850 EVO for $85. I paid as much for an inferior SSD with half as much space just a couple years ago. [Samsung 850 EVO 250GB SSD, $85]

This LED work light puts out as much light as a 100W halogen, and its removable battery pack can even charge your phone over USB. You might think you need a work light very often, but it’s not a bad idea to keep one handy in your garage, just in case. [LOFTEK 10W LED Portable Work Lights with 8800mAh Detachable Battery w/ USB Port, $45 with code JBP7RD2H]

Today on eBay, you can grab an iPad Air 2 128GB for less than the MSRP of the 64GB model. Deals like this are fairly common at this point, but it’s still a great price if you’ve been meaning to pick one up. [iPad Air 2 128GB, $590]

$50 isn’t a bad price for a decent hiking backpack, but this one includes a built-in solar panel and 2,000mAh USB battery pack so you can keep your phone charged. That’s handy for a long hike or camping trip, and potentially life-saving in the case of an emergency. [ECEEN Solar Powered Hiking Daypack, $50 with code XRUIRX3A]

If you think your Mac could use a few more USB ports, this brushed aluminum hub should fit right in. And yes, it’ll work with Windows too. [Etekcity USB 3.0 High Speed 4 Port Portable Aluminum Hub, $13 with code USBPOT3F]

Today only, Monoprice is offering one of the best external battery pack deals I’ve ever seen (and I’ve seen more than can possibly be healthy), assuming you own an iPhone.

$15 gets you a big-but-not-too-big 9,000mAh battery pack, plus two Lightning cables, one of which is a pocket friendly 4 inches. $15 would be a great price for the cables by themselves, so the battery is basically just a cherry on top. [9000mAh, 2.1A Battery Pack and Two Apple MFi Certified Lightning™ Cables, 4-inch and 3ft, $15]

If your Xbox Live Gold subscription is running low, pick up an extra 12 months for just $36 today. [Xbox Live Gold, $36]

We’ve got a pair of great deals imported from Westeros today. First up, you can save 50% on Telltale’s surprisingly competent Game of Thrones series, courtesy of Steam. The penultimate fifth episode was just released, and you’ll get the sixth for free once it comes out. [Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series, $15]

The first episode is also free right now on iOS, and deeply discounted on Android.

Next, Game of Thrones Monopoly is down to $42 today, one of the lowest prices we’ve ever seen. Just don’t murder your friends over who gets to play as the White Walker. Or do, because, you know, Game of Thrones. [Monopoly: Game of Thrones Collector’s Edition Board Game, $42]

If you’re not ready to lease your wrist to Apple or Google, these attractive Calvin Klein watches are deeply discounted today as part of an Amazon Gold Box deal. Just be sure to pick yours out before the clock strikes midnight PT, when these prices will shoot back to normal. [Get 75% or More Off Select Calvin Klein Watches]

Studio Ghibli Blu-rays don’t get big discounts very often, but these films are at or near all-time low prices today on Amazon.

The best recurring deal on a new Wii U Deluxe bundle is back in stock. No tax for most. [Wii U Deluxe with Two Games, $260]

Note: This same bundle is available for $225 direct from Nintendo, but between shipping and sales tax, it’ll probably only be a few bucks cheaper than eBay’s brand new listing.

This electric camping lantern can fold down, accordion style, into a compact flashlight that will barely take up any room in your bag. Pretty neat considering it’s just $8. [TaoTronics Camping Lantern / Collapsible Flashlight, $8]

Your favorite ultra-cheap battery pack is back down to its all-time low price. [KMASHI 10,000mAh Dual USB Portable External Extended Battery Pack, $9 with code JAK3JCUV]

$8 Lightning cables aren’t unusual around these parts, but this one is built into a retractable spool, meaning it’ll never get tangled in your bag. [Griffin Retractable Lightning Cable, $8]

This great looking spice/herb grinder is made of zinc alloy, and even has a magnetic lid to prevent spillage. Add in its 4.9 star review average, and it certainly seems like a steal at $10. [KingTop Zinc Alloy Herb Grinder, $12 with code RBTJWAPE]

Live near a 76 gas station? This deal is basically 3-4 free gallons of gas. [$100 76 Gasoline Gift Card, $90]
