Wednesday’s best deals: World Backup Day sale from $42, iPhone 11 leather cases, more

All of today’s best deals are headlined by a World Backup Day sale on hard drives and SSDs from $42. That’s on top of official iPhone 11 Pro/Max leather cases from $20 and Anker’s Elite Thunderbolt 3 Dock at $183. Hit the jump for all that and more in the latest 9to5Toys Lunch Break.

Amazon World Backup Day sale from $42

In honor of World Backup Day, Amazon’s new sale is now offering up to 25% off drives from Western Digital, SanDisk, Samsung, and more. One standout here is the SanDisk 2TB Extreme Portable SSD for $240. Originally $450 and fetching closer to $300 these days, this is at least $60 in savings, a new Amazon all-time low, and the best we can find.

This one features up to 1050MB/s read/write speeds inside of the “durable” silicon shell with two-meter drop protection as well as IP55 water- and dust-resistance. And you’ll also find the up to 2000MB/s Extreme PRO Portable 2TB SSD model on sale for $270, down from the usual $350, right now.

Apple iPhone 11 Pro/Max leather cases from $20

Amazon is currently offering the Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max Leather Folio for $72. Down from its $129 going rate, today’s offer amounts to nearly 44% in savings, beats our previous mention by $19, and is the second-best we’ve seen to date. The iPhone 11 Pro version is also on sale for $66, down from its $129 going rate.

Apple’s Folio cases wrap your handset in finished European leather that “fits snugly” around your iPhone with machined aluminum buttons to complement the design. There’s also two card slots, so you can store your ID, credit cards, and more. Plus, the case will wake up your iPhone when opening the folio. Get a closer look in our hands-on review.

Anker’s Elite Thunderbolt 3 Dock falls to low of $183

AnkerDirect via Amazon currently offers its PowerExpand Elite 13-in-1 Thunderbolt 3 Dock for $183. Down from its usual $250 going rate, you’re saving 27% with today’s offer undercutting our previous mention by $37 and marking a new all-time low. This 13-in-1 Thunderbolt 3 dock expands the I/O of your Mac with a single cable. On top of sending 85W of power passthrough to your machine, it’ll also yield a 4K HDMI output, Gigabit Ethernet, two USB-C slots, four USB-A ports, and SD card readers.

Nomad’s Base Station Pro sees 50% discount to new low

Nomad is teaming up with 9to5Toys to offer an exclusive discount on its Base Station Pro Charger at $100. Normally fetching $200, today’s offer amounts to 50% in savings, is $50 below our previous mention, and marks a new all-time low.

This price cut enters on the heals of Xiaomi showcasing an AirPower clone that forgoes the usual Apple premium. But for those looking to charge multiple devices at once while still enjoying a more high-quality build, the Base Station Pro is worth a look. On top of leather stylings, the charger arrives with 18 Qi coils which can refuel up to three devices simultaneously at 5W. An included 27W USB-C PD charger completes the package.You can get a closer look in our hands-on review.

ESR MagSafe chargers, cases, and other accessories from $9

ESR’s official Amazon storefront is currently offering its HaloLock MagSafe-compatible Kickstand Wireless Charger for $12. Normally fetching $25, today’s offer amounts to 50% in savings, beats the launch discount by $8, and marks a new all-time low.

Differing from your average third-party MagSafe-compatible charger, ESR’s option delivers a unique kickstand design that lets you prop up an iPhone 12 while it charges. There’s also a detachable USB-C cable and support for 7.5W charging speeds to complete the package. Shop other deals from $9.
