Twelve South’s Compass 2 gives your iPad a home for $20

Twelve South via Amazon offers its Twelve South Compass 2 for iPad in various colors for $20. Regularly $40 at B&H and other retailers, today’s deal is a match of the second-best price we’ve tracked to date. With a compact and folding design, Compass 2 offers a stylish and portable stand for most iPads. Made from aluminum with soft silicone pads, it is a great way to keep your device elevated and safe. The adjustable legs can be made to hold your iPad in portrait or horizontal orientations, it even offers a fold-away secondary leg which “creates a comfortable typing stand.”

AirPrint lands on Xerox’s Phaser Laser Printer at $80

Staples is offering the Xerox Phaser 6022 Color Laser Printer for $80. That’s $69 off the going rate found at retailers like Amazon and beats the lowest price we have tracked there by $10. If you’re uncertain why to pick a laser printer over an inkjet, it’s because toner tends to have a longer shelf-life compared to ink. Additionally, it doesn’t dry up like ink does. This makes it a solid choice for households that go long periods between prints. AirPrint support is onboard, providing native print capabilities on iOS and macOS devices.
