Never stare at ugly cords again, thanks to this clever outlet cover that's just $18 for Prime Day
That's when I spotted the Sleek Socket Ultra-Thin Electrical Outlet Cover on sale for Amazon Prime Day, just $18, which is its lowest price ever (and down from $26 earlier this year). I grabbed one, hoping it would help, and honestly, it did the trick. Now I can run the cord neatly along the base of the wall and tuck it behind the dresser, which keeps everything out of sight and makes the whole room look cleaner. Sometimes the best Amazon Prime Day deals aren't the flashiest. They're the little fixes that make everyday life less cluttered.
We can't say enough good things about the Sleek Socket. It looks refined, it's easy to clean around and it gives you more space against your walls since you'll no longer have a bunch of plugs bulging out of your outlets. Its 3-foot cable can easily be hidden away behind your electronics, clamped to your baseboard or stowed behind your workstation. The end result is a power solution that blends into the background with outlets that "look so much cleaner," as one shopper said. "Love how minimal and clean these make our home look!"
It's especially ideal for tight spaces or apartment dwellers whose leases prevent a more invasive fix. "I needed something simple and user-friendly that could quickly be installed in my rental," shared a savvy buyer. "This was honestly such a good option, and it is not super noticeable! Love it ... A great option for those who are renting."
"I had no idea these existed!" raved an electrified fan. "They work great behind a shelf or dresser, they allow the shelf to be pushed flush with the wall and still have three things plugged in!"
This shopper gushed, "I saw this online and thought it was a great idea to solve the issue I was having — due to the outlets situated behind the couch, plugging in anything such as lamps and chargers would cause a big space between the wall and the couch. But with this neat little solution, now everything sits flush and [there's] nothing to be seen. Works great."
The Sleek Socket can even help you baby-proof. "Super easy to install and [the] perfect length to keep out of our new baby's hands," raved a careful parent. "The way the room got set up, the outlets were always near the crib. This is flat enough so her little fingers couldn't get behind it, and allowed us parents to sleep with ease. Highly recommend."
Of course, some buyers have suggestions for improvement. "Don't get me wrong, I love this outlet cover/extension cord," said a generally satisfied reviewer. "It hides the plug-ins for our TV wonderfully, and we have been talking about buying more for the house. The only complaint I have is that the adhesive that is used to hold the cord to the wall took the paint with it when it was moved."
"I really wish they would make a TV mount option with a longer (10- to 12-foot) cord," said a buyer. "Overall, the product is great, just didn't fit my specific needs." (Need something longer? See below for the 6-foot version.)
Here's another way to bring a little more coherence to your cords and cables (and, yes, it's also a surge protector):
And if you have Amazon Prime, you'll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here, making you eligible for even more great Prime Day deals. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

The best printer is even more affordable now than during Prime Day at $120 off
Are you on the hunt for printer deals? You should set your sights on the HP Smart Tank 7602, which is on sale from Amazon with a $120 discount that drops its price from $450 to just $330. That's even more affordable than what the printer was going for during Prime Day as that's its lowest-ever price, so you need to hurry if you're interested in taking advantage of this offer. There's no telling how much time is remaining on this chance to get it at 27% off, which means you need to act fast to make sure that you pocket the savings. Why you should buy the HP Smart Tank 7602 printer We described the HP Smart Tank 7602 as 'a fast and reliable all-in-one printer' in our review, where we gave it a solid score of 4 stars out of 5 stars. That's enough to propel it to the top spot of our roundup of the best printers, as we were impressed by its versatility and economy. It's an excellent choice for families and small businesses with its ability not just to print, but also to copy, scan, and fax. The HP Smart Tank 7602 is capable of two-sided printing, borderless prints, and mobile and wireless printing, at a speed of up to 15 pages per minute for black-and-white documents and up to 9 pages per minute for colored documents. Ink tank printers are more economical in the long run, according to our printer buying guide, and that's certainly the case with the HP Smart Tank 7602. It comes with two years' worth of original HP ink that's equivalent to up to 8,000 color pages or 6,000 black pages. It's also very easy to replenish its tanks — just plug the bottles into them. There's no need to squeeze, so there's no risk of messy spills. The HP Smart Tank 7602 printer is on sale for its lowest price ever on Amazon — even lower than Prime Day — at only $330 from $450. It probably won't stay at 27% off for much longer though, so you have to proceed with your purchase immediately if you want to secure the savings of $120. You won't regret going for the HP Smart Tank 7602 printer, especially if you're able to buy it for this amazing price, so stop hesitating and complete your transaction for it right now.

Forget Prime Day — You can still save on these 21 running shoe deals on Brooks, Skechers, Asics and more at Amazon
Prime Day may be over, but you can still find plenty of great running shoe deals on Amazon hanging around. Some of our favorite pairs are seeing stellar discounts right now, but you'll have to run, not walk, to snag these deals before they're gone. I'm talking Skechers deals from $13, Brooks for under $100, and up to 30% off the best running shoes from Asics. Amazon is one of my favorite places to go for Skechers deals, and while it's hard to pick just one, I highly recommend the Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 on sale from $43 at Amazon. In our Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 review, we praised their bouncy and comfortable feel underfoot and called them a great pair for beginner runners. I'm more of an Asics girlie myself, so my top pick is the Asics Novablast 4 on sale from $99. It's bouncy and lively enough to help you pick up the pace on your tempo runs and speed sessions, while still being cushioned and comfortable on long runs and easy days. Just keep in mind that the prices vary based on your choice of size and color, so check out the different color options in your size to score the best deals. For more savings, see our Amazon promo codes coverage. Score these comfortable Skechers sneakers starting from $14. They feature a Skechers memory foam footbed and come in four stylish color options. Reviewers on Amazon say these are sturdy and fit true to size. The Skechers Tantric are on sale for a super-cheap price, although the discount doesn't apply to all sizes and colors. These are super comfortable to wear thanks to their soft perforated footbed and canvas strap. These creatively-named Skechers wedges are on sale for a steal in certain sizes and colors! These sandals are super comfortable to wear thanks to their stretchy strap and Memory Foam footbed. I love the color option with the sparkly jewels on the strap! Score a great deal on these Skechers Nampa Groton. These simple shoes look smart and have a super comfortable Skechers Memory Foam footbed. They're also slip resistant, making them a solid choice for work days. Looking to save on a comfortable and secure sandal now that the season's winding down? You can't go wrong with this Skechers slide sandal that features a lightweight upper with adjustable buckle straps, a contoured cushioned footbed and podiatrist-certified arch support. These are the best Skechers slip-ins we've tested, so they're the ones to get if you want a super easy way to put your shoes on. They're lightweight, stretchy and breathable. In our Skechers Slip Ins Dazzling Haze review, we said they're perfect for low-impact activities like walking, light resistance training and dance cardio. If you prefer the classic slip-on look, the Go-Walk 5 Skechers have a soft, breathable, knitted upper that is comfortable across the top of your foot, whether you're wearing socks or not. They are machine washable, comfortable underfoot, and by design, extremely easy to slip on and off. These Skechers loafers are both smart and comfortable. They blend in well everywhere, from the office to the beach! With air-cooled memory foam underfoot and a stretch knit upper, your feet will be supported, and there's no chance of blisters. These Skechers sandals are the perfect summer shoe. They have Skechers' iconic comfortable midsole, paired with breathable, adjustable straps for a supportive fit, wherever you're walking this summer. They are vegan, and machine washable, with one customer writing, "Most comfortable sandals that I have ever bought. Bought one pair a year ago and had to buy another one this year cause they were that good." Now is a great time to buy, as the shoes are discounted in the two most popular colors: sand and black. If you're hitting the road, these Skechers are an excellent choice. Our Skechers Go Run Elevate 2.0 review said that these are great for beginner runners thanks to their affordable price point, bouncy and propulsive soles and breathable design. We rank these shoes as the best Skechers for novice runners. These extremely light and breathable shoes are supportive, durable and come in at an affordable price point. However, we noted in our Skechers Go Run Lite review that you'll eventually want to upgrade to a shoe that is engineered for running longer distances if you do get serious about the sport. Did you know Skechers also makes running shoes? If you're obsessed with the soft cushioned comfort of Skechers, but want to run in them too, give these a try. This Tom's Guide staffer recently tested them and wrote, "I didn't know that I was missing a whole other level of comfort until I tested the Skechers Max Cushioning Elite 2.0. They are so comfortable to wear even just for walking around, but when I took them on a run for the first time I set a new PR for my 3-mile run." The Novablast 4 is on sale! Cycle through the different options to find the best deal in your size. My colleague runs marathons pretty much for a living, and it's one of her favorite pairs of Asics shoes. The Gel Venture 10 is a waterproof trail running shoe that comes in 11 different color options and is Amazon's #1 bestseller. We price-checked against Asics, and although they are running a sale, this is the lowest price available. Although a fairly modest discount, this shoe is currently at its lowest price in 30 days. It's regarded as a comfy and versatile sneaker that suits neutral runners in particular. Not fussed about the 26? I've had this running shoe for a few years, and I still trot out the 10Ks in them. They're so breathable and comfortable, and I feel like I'm basically running on teeny tiny puffy clouds. Plus, I quite like the slightly garish bold color pops. The Gel Cumulus 26 isn't the latest in the Gel Cumulus range, thanks to the Gel Cumulus 27, but this is a handsome deal to snap up if you don't care about having the latest shoe. It also saves you a lot of money, given that we only rated the 27 with 3 stars, and this one is far more worth the money. I personally love and still run in the Gel Nimbus range, and a 31% saving on the Gel Nimbus 26 is an absolute steal. Plenty of lightweight cushioning and a breathable upper make this the perfect shoe for longer miles, in my opinion. We're huge fans of the Gel Kayano 31 at TG. A generous slice of cushioning in the midsole and rearfoot PureGEL technology for a softer, bouncier ride. What's not to love? Right now, the men's Brooks Ghost 16 in this grey colorway is down to $99 in the Prime Day sale. You'll have to cycle through the different options to find the best deal for you in your size. The Brooks Ghost 16 is also on sale in the women's shoe at $99. Again, you'll have to look through the different colors to find the best deal in your size.

This 2-Pack of 20W iPhone Chargers Is Nearly Free, Anker Is Clearing Out the Last of Its Stock
Amazon has barely had time to catch its breath with Prime Day, and already it is launching Back to School deals with a new wave of discounts. In all these deals, some of the small (but vital) pieces of hardware like Anker's chargers have caught our attention. Right now, Amazon is featuring the Anker 2-Pack 20W fast USB-C charger at its lowest price ever: Normally $19, with a coupon applied at checkout, this set drops to only $12 which is a savings of over 32%. For less than the cost of a single charger from many brands, you're getting two high-quality blocks plus two 5-foot USB-C cables. See at Amazon These wall charger blocks give you a maximum of 20W fast charging power each, and that's precisely what you require for the latest iPhone models (like the iPhone 16, 16 Pro Max, and more) and really any other more recent Apple device. Fast charging allows you to charge your battery from flat to more than 50% in around 25 minutes so you never have to sit around waiting for your phone to come on. The blocks are also universal for a wide selection of other devices including the iPad Pro, AirPods, Android phones, tablets, and even some small laptops. There's actually a dual-port feature: both adapters feature a USB-C and a USB-A port. You can charge two devices at once without slowing down which is perfect if you're working with a phone and a wireless earbud case for instance. Having both ports available to use simultaneously enables you to have your tech ready for the needs of all day, and it makes life a little bit easier where power outlets are limited. Safety is of the highest concern with this Anker pack: Each charger has Anker's MultiProtect safe system which safeguards your devices using advanced temperature control, overcurrent protection, and short-circuit prevention. It is nice to have peace of mind and know your phone or tablet is safe to fast charge. At $12 for a pair of chargers and cables, it's hard to find something better or more useful in your daily tech setup before the new term begins. See at Amazon
