Enter to win the new iPhone XS and three Speck Presidio cases

September means that summer is finally winding down with cooler weather on the way. For techies, this time of year is also the season for new gadgets as big companies reveal their latest creations, and Apple did so at its recent event where it announced the new iPhone XS. If you’re in need of a phone upgrade, then you may be in luck: We’ve teamed up with Apple and Speck to give one lucky reader a brand new iPhone XS and Speck Presidio case bundle. Read on for more details and instructions on how to enter the contest.

As a refresh of last year’s iPhone X, the iPhone XS looks identical to its predecessor, with a sleek design and bezel-less Retina OLED display. It features some subtle improvements under the hood, however: Our hands-on review of the iPhone XS cited its vibrant display, great quality and hand-feel, improved battery life, and up-to-date hardware as the high points, with Apple’s new flagship running on the latest A12 Bionic eight-core processor.

Along with the iPhone XS, the winner will also score a bundle of three Presidio iPhone XS cases from Speck. These include the Presidio V-Grip, Stay Clear, and Pro, all of which feature raised edges for additional screen protection along with Speck’s Impactium rubber technology that absorbs shocks from bumps and falls to keep your tech safe. Each case offers the rugged protection Speck is known for, but with different designs:

The Presidio V-Grip combines a clear back with a no-slip grip along the edges of the phone. The grip’s ridged, rubberized texture keeps it securely in your hand, and the whole case is drop-tested to protect your phone against falls of up to 10 feet.

Presidio Stay Clear 

This all-clear case lets you show off your phone while protecting its surface finish from bumps, scratches, liquids, oils, and even UV damage from the sun’s rays. The Presidio Stay Clear is also drop-tested at 8 feet.

Presidio Pro

Drop-tested for shock protection against falls of up to 10 feet, the opaque Presidio Pro offers all-around protection for your iPhone. Its soft-touch finish is pleasant to hold while providing good grip and features an anti-microbial outer layer that wards off bacteria.

One lucky winner will take home the grand prize of a brand new, silver unlocked 64GB iPhone XS smartphone and Speck three-case bundle, a combined $1,120 value (you’ll get your choice of color for the V-Grip and Pro cases). This giveaway contest runs until October 10, so enter below for your chance to win. You can also earn bonus entries if you follow Speck on Twitter, visit the company’s Facebook page, or hop on over to Speck’s Instagram.

Cordless vacuum giveaway: Enter to win a new Roborock H6 cordless stick vacuum
Roborock H6 Cordless Stick Vacuum 01

Roborock is known best for its full line of powerful robotic vacuum cleaners, but the company recently debuted its first cordless stick vacuum for the U.S., the Roborock H6 Adapt. Robot vacuums are convenient and capable, but they're limited to cleaning floors. Cordless stick vacuums are the most versatile vacuums you can buy, and Roborock's initial entry into this market is a winner. You can be a winner, too, because we're giving readers a chance to win a new Roborock H6 Adapt cordless stick vacuum, a $450 value, with no purchase necessary. Read further to learn more about this powerful stick vac and how you can enter the contest and be the lucky winner.

There is a lot to say about the Roborock H6 Adapt, but let's start with the high points. The H6 has three modes (Eco, Normal, and Max) to balance suction strength and battery life. Powered by a 420-watt brushless motor, the H6 can employ 150 AW (air watts) of suction power to pull dust, dirt, and debris from carpeting and all types of hard flooring. In Eco mode, the H6 runs for up to 90 minutes per battery charge and up to 10 minutes in Max mode. You don't have to make the power changes yourself because the Roborock's Auto Carpet Boost detects the need for and switches to higher power modes as needed.

Win three pairs of blue light–blocking glasses from Baxter Blue
baxter blue eyeglasses giveaway eyewear glasses 2021

Between working on computers, texting on our mobile devices, and watching movies and TV shows for entertainment, it should come as no surprise that most of us spend a good portion of our days staring at one screen or another. It's estimated that most Americans spend 7.5 hours each day looking at a digital screen. As such, it's also not surprising that many people have experienced eye strain as a result of such prolonged exposure to digital light; more than 60% of Americans have experienced digital eye strain symptoms like dry eyes, headaches, blurry vision, and eye fatigue.

The cause of these ailments is the blue light and screen glare emitted by our digital devices. Artificial blue light can also affect our sleep by disrupting our circadian rhythms and the natural release of melatonin (the hormone that tells your mind and body when it’s time to sleep and wake up). Baxter Blue has made it their mission to reduce eye strain and blue light exposure with its line of fashionable eyewear. The brand also believes in social responsibility and so for every pair of glasses that they sell, they donate a pair of reading glasses to someone in need. And right now you can use the promo code BaxterBlue15 to receive 15% off your order.
