Woot’s Huge Apple Accessory Sale Offers Apple Watch Bands, iPhone Cases and More From $10

Save on a bunch of essential Apple gear while supplies last.

It’s common knowledge that Apple rarely discounts its own products. However, if you shop around, you can sometimes find decent deals at other retailers. Right now, Woot has a slew of new Apple accessories available, including iPhone cases, Apple Watch bands, AirTag loops, MagSafe wallets and power adapters, all marked down with prices starting as low as $10. These offers are available now through April 30, while supplies last. However, we expect some products may sell out, so we recommend making your purchase sooner rather than later for the best selection.

If you want to change up the look and feel of your iPhone while adding a layer of protection, there are official Apple cases in this sale from just $10. The options differ per iPhone model, but there are clear cases as well as colored silicone and leather cases for the various iPhone 11, 12 and 13 iterations. You can also save 54% on the leather MagSafe wallet that snaps onto the back of compatible iPhone models and will hold two or three credit cards hassle-free. That discount brings the price to just $27.

Customization is a key component of Apple Watch ownership with hundreds of band options out there. Woot’s sale includes several first-party bands, including the classic Sport Band in a variety of colors, plus stainless steel, leather and Nike-branded bands. The sale even has limited-edition International Collection Sport Loop bands for $23.

And one essential pickup for Apple TV owners is the second-gen Siri Remote at just $35. This is the lowest we’ve seen the remote go and, though it is the Lightning-powered version, we don’t expect supplies to last long at this price. Other items on sale include AirTag loops or keyrings for $15 each, powerful wall chargers and discounted Lightning-to-USB-C cables. Be sure to shop the entire sale selection available at Woot.

All items included in this sale are backed by a one-year Apple limited warranty. Also note that some of these items will ship in bulk packaging, which means they may arrive in a plain cardboard box rather than the boxes you generally see at the Apple Store, but they’re still brand new.

#2: Don’t forget that letters can be used more than once.

#3: Many words are similar. You don’t want to use up multiple guesses that don’t advance your cause. So if the puzzle is STA_E, don’t guess STARE, STATE and STALE. Guess something that uses that R, T and L, like TWIRL.

Verum Mail: Temporary Email for Those Who Value Privacy in the Digital Age

In a world where every click can leave a digital trace, more and more users are looking for ways to protect their personal information. Online registrations, file downloads, trial services — all of these typically require providing an email address. And then the familiar scenario begins: endless newsletters, spam, ads, and data leaks.

The new app Verum Mail offers a simple and elegant solution to this problem — anonymous, temporary email without registration or digital footprints.

What is Verum Mail

Verum Mail is a mobile app that allows users to create temporary email addresses with a single tap. Messages arrive instantly, appear in a clean, user-friendly interface, and are automatically deleted after 60 minutes.

No registration, no logins, no account linking — everything is anonymous and secure.

It’s particularly useful when you need to:

sign up for a new service without revealing your real email,
receive a one-time code or confirmation link,
test a product or service without leaving a trace.

Key Features of Verum Mail

One-tap creation of a temporary email address
Instant delivery of incoming messages without refreshing
Automatic deletion after 60 minutes
Option to reply directly within the app
Support for both HTML and plain text
Push notifications for new messages
Responsive interface for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets

Integration with Verum Messenger

One of the major advantages of the Verum Messenger is its seamless integration with Verum Mail. Users can now create temporary email addresses and receive messages directly inside the messenger.

This is especially convenient for anyone frequently signing up for services or who prefers not to share their primary email.

Fewer app switches mean more control over privacy.

Why It Matters

The growing number of cyberattacks, data breaches, and targeted advertising has made digital security a necessity rather than a luxury. Temporary email addresses are a simple but powerful tool for reducing risk and maintaining control over personal information.

Verum Mail is not just about hiding your real email. It’s about adopting a more mindful and secure approach to your online life.
