I’ve been skeptical of these magnetic smartphone vent mounts in the past, but I just got one a few weeks ago, and it’s awesome. It’s like the phone is just floating on my dashboard. For $7, you might as well give one a try. [AbcoTech Air Vent Smartphone Car Mount with Magnetic One Step Mounting Technology, $7 with code 6GMDMCZV]

In case you’ve been living in a cave, you’re probably aware that tomorrow is Amazon’s much-ballyhooed Prime Day event, featuing “more deals than Black Friday.” Be sure to bookmark our hub page and follow us on Twitter, because we’ll be covering it live from the opening bell at 3AM ET until all the deals have dried up. Oh, and if you don’t have Amazon Prime yet, be sure to sign up for a trial now, so you’ll be ready to snatch those limited-time deals tomorrow.

You can never have too much flash storage, so be sure to stock up during today’s Amazon Gold Box deal. Inside, you’ll find flash drives, SD cards, and even SSDs from SanDisk marked down to all-time low prices.

The most notable deal here is undoubtedly the 128GB microSD card for $60. That’s the best price we’ve ever seen on that size card by about $10, and a no-brainer if you’ve been waiting on a good deal to pick one up. The Android-compatible flash drives are also pretty cool looking.

Just be warned that many of the most popular items will probably sell out early, and that all of these prices will expire at the end of the day. [Amazon]

Best Buy’s put together a nice little bundle for aspiring cord cutters, featuring the Mohu Leaf (your favorite HDTV antenna) for over the air programming, plus an Amazon Fire TV Stick for all of your online viewing needs. The whole package will only set you back $50, or about $25 less than buying both separately. [Mohu Leaf + Amazon Fire TV Stick, $50]

Note: If you just want the Fire TV Stick, hold out for tomorrow’s Prime Day sale. Amazon has promised that it will be available for just $24, at least for a short time.

This $50 sound bar probably isn’t what you’d want for your home theater, but it’d be perfect for a secondary TV with weak speakers. I might pick one up for my bedroom TV. [SCEPTRE 2.1-Channel Sound Bar with Built-In Subwoofer, $50]

Today on eBay, you can grab an iPad Air 2 64GB for the same price as the 16GB model. If you’ve been thinking of picking one of these up, that’s you basically just quadrupled your storage for free. You can even choose from all three colors. [iPad Air 2 64GB, $500]

Whether you still don’t own an external USB battery pack, or you just want to expand your collection, we’ve found several unique options on sale today.

First up, Levin’s 5,000mAh pack includes a built-in solar panel for recharging, and is down to an all-time low $18 right now. That’s one of the best deals we’ve ever seen on solar gear, and a great option for anyone who spends a lot of time outdoors. [Levin Solar Panel Charger 5000mAh, $18 with code JHRXH79D]

Next, $7 gets you a standard-looking lipstick style charger, but with a big, built-in LED flashlight on one end. [RAVPower Portable Charger 3200mAh External Battery Pack Power Bank with Ultra bright flashlight, $7 with code GWSEABID. Code not valid on black model.]

And finally, here’s a $20, 7800mAh pack that conceals a bonus Bluetooth wireless headset. Just plug the headset into the battery’s custom-designed dock to charge it up. Pretty unique! [Fremo Blue Point 7800mAh 2 in 1 Power Bank and Bluetooth 3.0 Headset, $20 with code PYIYM8O5]

Many newer Android smartphones support a technology called Qualcomm Quick Charge, which allows them to charge up to 75% faster than usual when plugged into a certified high-power charger.

Well, this Aukey charger has the tech built right in, in addition to two extra standard USB ports for your other devices. That’s a steal at $15, but just be sure to check out the product description for a list of compatible phones. [Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 42W 3 Ports USB Desktop Charging Station Wall Charger, $15 with code FFCAYLOK]

For those times where you need to get some work done, but just can’t bring yourself to leave the couch, this $13 lap desk could really come in handy.

There are lots of products out there that combine padding for your legs with a flat surface for a computer, but this one is unique in offering a cubbyhole to hide pens, chargers, and even tablets when not in use. [Lapgear 45305 Deluxe Edesk, $13]

Do you need this contraption thing to peel, slice, or core your apples and potatoes? No, of course not. But it’s $9, and it’ll look really cool in your kitchen while saving you some food prep time. [Ohuhu® Apple Potato Peeler Slicer Corer 3 in 1 Slinky Machine Kitchen Tool, $9 with code 8BIGS7LU]

You’re probably not going to impulse buy a treadmill, but if it’s been on your to-do list, today’s deal might push you over the edge. The highly-rated ProForm Pro 2000 is down to $979 today as part of an Amazon Gold Box deal. That’s the lowest price ever listed, and over $300 less than usual. Just note that this price is only available today, or until sold out. [ProForm Pro 2000 Treadmill, $979]

Not only is this attractive water bottle made of strong and safe borosilicate glass, it also includes a nylon sleeve and a tea steeper for making (and holding) hot tea on the go. [MIU COLOR Stylish Portable Handmade Crystal Glass Water Bottle with Nylon Sleeve, $18 with code HQKG3LPC]

Buying Guide: Gear for Better Tea

If you haven’t played Dragon Age: Inquisition yet, price is officially no longer an excuse. $20 is an insane price for a game you could easily sink 100+ hours into.

If you still haven’t taken the plunge on Shadow of Mordor, it’s down to an absurdly low $15 today.

If you love LEGO Star Wars sets, this is the book for you. 144 color pages detailing every set LEGO’s released, complete with cross sections for the largest ships and set pieces. Exceptionally nerdy, and yet very affordable. [LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary: Updated and Expanded, $10]

Mincing garlic by hand is a job that should be reserved for convicted felons, sort of like stamping license plates. So assuming you value your time and your freedom, you might want to invest in this $9 garlic press today.

I recently purchases a similar garlic press, and can’t believe I waited as long as I did. It minces a clove of garlic roughly 100 times faster than I can with a knife, and does a far better job of it too. [Stainless Steel Garlic Press, $9 with code 3646PWWU]

This $12 slow cooker is only 1.5 quarts, which is really small, but if you’re cooking for one or two, and counter space is at a premium, it might be just the right size. [MaxiMatic Elite Gourmet 1-1/2-Quart Slow Cooker, $12]

You probably won’t use a multimeter very often, but it’s not a bad idea to keep one in your toolbox for basic electrical work around your house, and at $11, you might as well pick one up. [Etekcity Digital Multimeter/Voltmeter/Ammeter/Ohmmeter, $11 METEROFF]
