Prime Day 2025 is over, and I don't know about you, but I'm kind of exhausted. Lifehacker spent every moment of this years super-sized, two-days-longer sale hunting down the best discounts, deals, and bargains on the products we've actually bought ourselves, reviewed and loved, or had on our wishlists waiting for a price drop. And now it's over, at least until Prime Big Deal Days in October.
Or is it? Though Prime Day officially ended yesterday, not all the deals did. Here are 17 items we previously recommended that you can still pick up at a discount. But act fast—these sales could end at any moment.
A phone-shaped e-reader with a cult following
I've been personally obsessed with the Boox Palma e-reader for about two years now. It has the form factor of a phone, the screen of a Kindle, and an open Android operating system that lets you download any reading apps you want to, so you aren't tied to buying books from whichever retailer sold you the device. Carrying it with me alongside my iPhone has helped me read way more and doomscroll way less. This thing basically never goes on sale, so the current $30 discount is a relative bargain.
The OLED Nintendo Switch for $100 off, because who needs a Switch 2?
OK, I mean, I obviously need a Switch 2 (because Mario Kart World!), but I'm not getting one for a long while, considering I didn't even buy the original Switch until 2021. Given the vast back catalogue of first-party and indie games, you could definitely keep playing the Switch OLED (the updated model with the larger, better screen) for years to come—and at $100 off, it's a full $200 cheaper than its successor. You can also opt to get a bundle that comes with Mario Kart 8 for $25 more, which is pretty good considering you're probably buying Mario Kart 8 anyway. (This is a Woot! offer, but given Amazon owns Woot!, I still think it counts as a Prime Day deal.)
A Meta Quest 3S, so you can see what VR gaming is all about
I've had a Meta Quest 2 for a few years, and I can best describe it as the coolest gadget I never use—gaming in VR is super fun and immersive, but the headset too heavy, the video quality is a bit fuzzy, and it makes my eyes hurt if I play for longer than 15 minutes. Lots of these problems would probably be solved by the Meta Quest 3S, which is lighter, has better video quality, and is supposed to be more comfortable overall. Lifehacker's Stephen Johnson says it's a smarter buy than the pricier Meta Quest 3, especially at $50 off.
The Microsoft Surface Pro combination laptop and tablet
Our tech reviewer David Nield gave this two-in-one device a glowing 4.5/5 review earlier this year, praising its features, suburb build, and battery life. All the more reasons to grab one at its lowest price yet—it's $100 off, which will take you a long way toward getting a keyboard and stylus to go with it.
