Add some Disney pizazz to your wearables with these cool Black Friday deals

Disney is everywhere, whether we like it or not (some of us are diehard Disney nerds, ok?) And while Disney is usually not one to have a lot of discounts throughout the year, you can actually find some cool Disney things on Black Friday. Here's what we have found so far.

Get fit, kids

Garmin vivofit jr 2 Disney Princess Kids Fitness/Activity Tracker

$50 at Amazon

Start healthy habits

Garmin vivofit jr is a fitness and activity tracker designed for kids. The swim friendly band features a customizable color screen, and the battery is replaceable while lasting at least one year. This tracker records steps, sleep, and recommends 60 minutes of daily activity. The Disney Princess edition features a lilac purple band with various Disney Princess symbols. There are also other Marvel and Star Wars themed ones if Princesses aren't your child's thing.

Smart Marvel style

Garmin Legacy Hero Series Marvel Captain America Smartwatch

$350 at Amazon

The First Avenger

This Garmin Premium Smartwatch features a unique watch face that is inspired by Marvel's Captain America, the First Avenger. It's made with premium materials and has a leather strap band to complete the classy look. And since it is a smartwatch, you get wellness and fitness tracking tools, smart notifications with compatible devices, and even Garmin Pay contactless payment. There is also a Captain Marvel edition if you prefer.

The Resistance or the Dark Side?

Citizen Star Wars Limited Edition Watch

From $237 at Amazon

Traditional timepiece from a galaxy far, far away

Sometimes we don't need a smartwatch, and want to go back to a traditional timepiece. Citizen's Star Wars Limited Edition watches have five different designs you can choose from: Boba Fett, Darth Vader, Death Star, Han Solo, and Luke Skywalker. Each theme has a different design on the watch face, as well as the back, and the straps are made with premium leather, stainless steel, or fabric. These watches will definitely make you stand out as you show your allegiance to the Light or Dark side.

The true original

Disney Men's 56109 Vintage Mickey Mouse Watch

$23 at Amazon

House of Mouse

This simple timepiece features Mickey Mouse on the dial, and Mickey's hands will tell you what time it is. The watch face is a golden color, so it looks elegant and classy, and it has Arabic Numbers and minute tracking. The strap is a black leather, and the hardware lugs are silver to provide a good contrast with the rest of the watch.

Be a proper pro hipster blogger with these Black Friday deals

To be a successful blogger you need four things: A successful blog, fizzy water, fussy coffee, and a clickety-clackety keyboard. And not in that order.

I don't know who first said it. I'll blame John Gruber. But the story goes, if you want to be a real, pro, full-on proper blogger — and maybe just a bit hipster — there are three things you need: Really fizzy water. Really fussy coffee. And the clicketiest, clacketiest keyboard imagineable. Luckily, you can get all of those things and more with these Black Friday deals.

Maximum fizz

SodaStream Fizzi Sparkling Water Machine Bundle

$80 at Amazon (was $115)

Carbonate your water; carbonate your life

With the SodaStream Jet Sparkling Water Maker, not only will you never pay for bubbly water by the can or bottle again, but you'll be able to bubble your water more than you ever thought possible. One is for noobs. Two is for suckers. Three is the least acceptable fizz. Take it to the legal limit and you'll barely have room left for the water. Drink from ormioli Rocco Rock Bar glasses. Your blogging will thank you.

Fussy but fast

AeroPress Coffee and Espresso Maker

$27 at Amazon (was $32)

Great coffee, great price, no waiting

Chemex is amazing. I love a good pour-over coffee. I just don't have the time or the zen to stand there and slowly pour all the water over. When I want great coffee — even great fussy coffee — I want it fast. That's exactly what Aeropress delivers. Grind fresh with a Baratza Virtuoso. Add boiling water. Then press. Coffee so good you'll think it's an espresso.

Click. Clack

Das Keyboard Model S Professional for Mac Cherry MX Blue Mechanical Keyboard

$119 at Amazon (was $139)

Bring the cherry switch thunder

Butterfly switches? Forget it. Scissor switches? Amateur hour. If you really want to type so loudly your neighbors can hear what you're writing before you hit publish on the post, you want honest-to-geekness cherry switches. That's where Das Keyboard comes in. You can get the base model or you can kick over to their website and customize your own. For double hipster points, go for the Keychron

Who needs AirPower? Get CHOETECH Dual Fast Wireless Charger for cheap

Apple may have cancelled AirPower, but that doesn't mean others can't create their own wireless charging pads that allow you to place your device anywhere to charge. Wireless charging pads are always convenient, because there are no cables to deal with, but most of them require you to put your iPhone or AirPods in a specific spot in order to charge. Most also provide a slower charge than you would get if you plug it in. Fortunately, the CHOETECH Dual Fast Wireless Charger is the answer to all of your problems.

Fast and convenient

CHOETECH Dual Fast 5-Coil Qi Wireless Charger

$25 at Amazon

Charge everything at once

The CHOETECH Dual Fast Wireless Charger features five coils inside, which covers most of the charging pad. This means you can place your iPhone or AirPods wireless charging case pretty much anywhere on this pad, and it will charge. It supports charging up to two phones at the same time, and it even works with AirPods Pro. It also supports fast charging.

We love wirelessly charging our iPhones and AirPods here at iMore, because there's no cables to fumble around with. All we need to do is place our iPhone or AirPods charging case on a wireless charging pad and forget about it. The only drawback is that most wireless chargers will charge slower than a cable, but that's not what you get with CHOETECH.

This nice wireless charging pad is wide and features five coils inside, so you can just throw your iPhone or AirPods case anywhere on the pad, and it should begin charging. And don't think that it will take hours to charge up your device fully, because CHOETECH supports fast charging. So you can put your devices down on this pad in any orientation or position, and it will charge up quickly, so you can continue to use it in no time at all.

You can actually charge up to two phones with this CHOETECH wireless charger, and it supports up to 18W output simultaneously. The surface of this wireless charging pad is also made with an anti-slip PU leather, so your devices will not go sliding around. Once you put them down, they'll stay put until you pick them back up to use. There are also anti-slip pads on the bottom to prevent the charging pad from moving around on the surface you place it on.

If you want a wireless charging pad that is close to what AirPower would have offered, then this CHOETECH Dual Fast Wireless Charger is worth picking up, especially at this Black Friday price.

This USB-C battery that can fully charge a 15-inch MacBook Pro is $100 for Black Friday

Photo by Amelia Holowaty Krales / The Verge

In May, we introduced you to high-wattage USB-C PD external batteries that can charge a full-size laptop on the go — not just a phone — and the $150 Zendure SuperTank was one of our top picks thanks to its (relatively) compact size and price. But for Black Friday, the SuperTank is now more affordable than it’s been since its Kickstarter campaign — just $100.99 after coupon code at Amazon.

For the price, you’ll get a 27,000mAh (roughly 100Wh) capacity — enough to fully charge a 15-inch MacBook Pro, and most of the 16-inch MacBook Pro’s larger battery too — and the ability to charge several gadgets at once with one 100W USB-C port, one 60W USB-C port, one 18W USB-A port, and one 15W USB-A port.

Pad & Quill makes premium leather wallet cases for iPhone models dating back to the iPhone 7. They're quality made and have a lot of features. The Bella Fino Edition for iPhone 11 Pro is one of my top picks for leather iPhone cases and for 35% off, it makes it that much easier on the pocket book. Don't forget to use the code iMore10 to get an additional 10% off the already great discounts.

Pad & Quill leather wallet iPhone cases

From $40 at Pad & Quill

Save money on these luxury iPhone cases and get an additional discount on us.

Whether it's the Bella Fino full wallet case or the leather minimalist Traveler case, you can find a great deal on Pad & Quill for Black Friday.

Pad & Quill's latest wallet case, the Bella Fino, just came out a couple of months ago, when the new iPhone 11 Pro launched. I reviewed it shortly after it launched, and quickly fell in love with it.

It has four card slots that stretch to fit up to eight (that's right, eight) cards, one of them being a window slot for your ID, plus a stack of cash.

The hardshell case that snaps the iPhone 11 Pro into place protects from scratches and can be a glass-saving feature if you drop your iPhone (it's not drop-protected graded or anything, but it's better than nothing). It is stuck to the leather folio with a standard 3M adhesive.

This year, Pad & Quill added a handy removable elastic strap (in stylish colors) so you can keep that wallet completely closed up until it breaks in. Then, if you so choose, remove the elastic and go free, or keep the elastic on if you prefer the look.

If you've had your eye on the Bella Fino, pick one up for Black Friday and be sure to use the promo code iMore10 at check out for that additional 10% off.

The best options for Nintendo Switch Controllers

To get a better grip on your favorite Nintendo Switch games, you really have to have a good controller. There are dozens of options to choose from and they all have different advantages. We've compiled a list to help you choose the best of the best for your needs whether you want something wired or wireless.

Best Overall: Nintendo Switch Pro Controller

This officially licensed controller is the accessory of choice for many serious gamers. It has a built-in battery allowing you to play wirelessly for roughly 40 hours before needing another charge. This is the longest battery life of any controller we saw. And yes, it also comes with a USB charging cable and charger. When plugged in, it takes roughly 6 hours for the controller to reach full power. If you charge it between uses you'll likely never run out of juice.

The textured handholds fit beautifully into your hands allowing better control during intense gameplay. This controller has motion controls, something you definitely want when playing Fortnite or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. It also has built-in Amiibo functionality, so you can use your favorite figures while playing. The HD rumble ability adds to your gaming session by reacting to in-game events.

The one thing this controller is missing, as with most other Nintendo Switch controllers, is a headphone jack. You will not be able to plug your headphones or gaming headset into it.

Who should buy it: Gamers who take advantage of motion controls and Amiibo perks while playing for long stretches.

Pros:

• Long battery life
• Motion control
• Amiibo functionality
• Works wirelessly
• HD rumble

Cons:

• No headphone jack
• Expensive

Best Overall

Nintendo Switch Pro Controller

• $57 from Amazon

The serious gamer's controller of choice

It offers the most functionality of any wireless Switch controller on the market, including motion controls and the ability to work with Amiibo.

Best Value: PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller

These are arguably the most beautiful wireless Switch controllers on the market with over 6 different colors and themes to choose from. While it isn't as powerful as the Pro Controller, it is cheaper and offers most of the functions you want. Using Bluetooth and two AA batteries, you can play Switch games wirelessly for up to 30 hours. An LED comes on to warn you when the power is getting low.

The controller feels good in your hands and responds to motion controls. It gives you an edge when playing against other players since there are two additional buttons on the backside that you can assign actions to. As with most Nintendo Switch controllers on the market, you cannot plug in your headphones.

Who should buy it: Someone that wants a less expensive Pro Controller and doesn't care to use Amiibo while playing.

Pros:

• Inexpensive
• Beautiful designs
• Extra buttons
• Motion controls
• Battery indicator

Cons:

• No Amiibo functionality
• No headphone jack

Best Value

PowerA Enhanced Wireless Controller

• $44 from Amazon

Plenty of functions for your money

It's less expensive than the Pro Controller. While it doesn't work with Amiibo, it has additional functions that make it a great choice when playing against others.

Best Wired GameCube Controller: HORI Nintendo Switch Battle Pad

This is a wired version of the GameCube style Switch controller officially licensed by Nintendo. It comes with a 10-foot cable to give you more room to move around when playing. Unfortunately, the cable is not a USB and as such does not detach from the controller.

The D-pad has been enlarged and additional buttons have been added from the original GameCube controller making it easier to use. You can choose from five different designs and their corresponding colors, including Zelda, Mario, Luigi, Pikachu, and Princess Peach.

Part of what makes this controller so inexpensive is the lack of motion controls, vibration, and Amiibo functionality. It's a very basic option for those who don't want to spend too much on a GameCube-style Switch controller.

Who should buy it: Someone who wants the look and feel of the original GameCube controller without having to spend too much.

Pros:

• Enlarged D-pad
• Five design options
• Motion controls
• Comfortable grip

Cons:

• No headphone jack
• No rumble ability
• No motion controls
• No Amiibo Functionality

Best Wired GameCube Controller

HORI Nintendo Switch Battle Pad

• $24 from Amazon

An inexpensive GameCube-style controller

This simple controller modeled after the GameCube is very basic. It doesn't feature Amiibo functionality, HD rumble or motion controls, but it's cheap.

Best Wireless GameCube Controller: PowerA Wireless Controller

This fun controller is perfect for fans of the GameCube. It's similar to the GameCube's controller, but the D-pad and shoulder buttons have been enlarged from the original making them easier to use. Additional buttons have also been added so there are no missing functions for the Switch. This controller uses Bluetooth to operate wirelessly. Two AA batteries allow it to work for up to 30 hours. Should the battery get low, an LED indicator lets you know.

The motion controls are helpful when playing games like Breath of the Wild where you need to use a bow and arrow or locate a tower in the distance. However, it does not vibrate nor does it respond to Amiibo. On the plus side, there are different colors to choose from so you can find the one you like best.

If you're looking to play with an original GameCube controller, consider getting the 8Bitdo Gbros Wireless Adapter. It allows you to play wirelessly on the Nintendo Switch with the original controllers.

Who should buy it: GameCube fans who want to play wirelessly and take advantage of the Switch's motion controls.

Pros:

• Long battery life
• Motion control
• Works wirelessly
• Multiple color options

Cons:

• No headphone jack
• No Amiibo functionality

Best Wireless GameCube Controller

PowerA GameCube Wireless Controller

• $42 from Amazon

Wireless nostalgia at its finest

This wireless controller features motion control and enhanced features from the original GameCube controller.

Best Retro Controller: 8Bitdo SN30 Pro

This is the perfect controller for the longtime Nintendo fan as it looks like the original Super NES controller. Using Bluetooth and an internal battery, you'll be able to play wirelessly for up to 20 hours. Admittedly this battery life is shorter than the rest of the controllers we looked at, but it shouldn't be a problem if you charge it between gaming sessions.

This controller was made to work with a variety of systems, but it works beautifully on the Nintendo Switch and offers all the buttons you need. It even features rumble vibration and motion controls so you can play any Switch game without feeling hampered.

Since it was designed for use on more than one system, it doesn't feature Amiibo functionality. Like the rest of the controllers on this list, there is no headphone jack.

Who should buy it: Long-time Nintendo fans who want an immersive Switch experience, and who might want to use the controller on other devices.

Pros:

• Motion controls
• Rumble vibration
• Works wirelessly
• Looks cool

Cons:

• No Amiibo functionality
• No headphone jack
• Shorter battery life

Best Retro Controller

8Bitdo SN30 Pro

• $45 from Amazon

The serious gamer's controller of choice

It offers the most functionality of any wireless Switch controller on the market, including motion controls and the ability to work with Amiibo.

Bottom line

We determined that the best overall Nintendo Switch controller is the Pro Controller. It features motion controls and HD rumble making it a good choice for most action RPG and battle royale games. The Amiibo functionality allows you to use your favorite figures from the couch without having to reattach the Joy-Cons. It also has the longest wireless battery life of any other Switch controller on the market. The only thing it's missing, as with most other Nintendo Switch controllers, is a headphone jack.

We spent over 18 hours evaluating Nintendo Switch controllers to determine, which ones to put on this list. We looked at convenience, customer reviews, price and special features. There continue to be more and more accessories coming out for the Switch so we'll keep looking to see what other controllers we should add.

My favorite MacBook Pro case is cheaper than ever this Black Friday

The full-grain leather Journal for MacBook Air and MacBook Pro is normally priced at $150 - $170, but Twelve South has drastically dropped the price of it to just $80. That's not a typo. It's definitely my favorite MacBook Pro case and I highly recommend everyone get one if they've been been eyeing this one for a while.

Case envy

Twelve South Journal

$$80 at Twelve South

The best looking case your MacBook Pro or MacBook Air has ever had.

With a full-grain leather exterior, soft suede interior, and an extra pocket for papers and documents, the Journal makes you look like a pro even at the coffee shop.

I reviewed the Journal last year when it first launched (along with the companion Caddysack) and I've used it with my MacBook Pro ever since. It's even starting to get that nice rugged leather look to it.

The interior is covered with microsuede for scratch protection. The case is stiff but flexible.

The top portion of your MacBook is anchored to the top portion of the Journal with two thin elastic straps. This isn't to keep your laptop locked in place. It's simply a strap to keep the top half of the journal from falling to the tabletop when you're working on your laptop while it's open.

There is an extra spot under the microsuede lining on the bottom that hides a thin folder-style pocket. It's just enough to slip a few pieces of paper, but not enough for an entire notebook.

This is nearly the perfect case, and I'm incredibly happy with mine. Please, also consider the Caddysack, which is $20 off on Black Friday.
