Lens Cap Strap Holder keeps your caps from disappearing into the abyss

As photographers ourselves, we are more than a little familiar with the problem of losing lens caps. They must go to the same place as socks and spare change because we can never seem to hold on to one for any normal length of time. There are a few tricks for hanging on to them, namely either being responsible and putting them in the same pocket every time or using one of those fancy elastic lens-cap attachments that dangles off of your camera and gets in your macro shots. Neither of those have been a happy solution for us, but we may have found something that could eliminate the problem forever. 

From our friends over at Photojojo comes the Lens Cap Strap Holder ($18), which slides onto almost any camera strap as a perfect snap-in holder for your lens cap while you’re in shooting mode. The cap comes in four different sizes and will slide easily onto your existing camera strap as long as it doesn’t have any metal hardware. Maybe if we get our hands on one of these we can stop searching every pocket of our camera bag three times over.

The Google Home Speaker hasn't even started shipping yet, but one lucky buyer managed to grab one early and share their first impressions. While most of the news is positive, there's one detail that won't sit well with anyone who cares about repairability.

For the unaware, Google announced the speaker back in October 2025, and pre-orders went live last week. Priced at $99, it's the company's first new speaker in six years, so people have plenty of questions.

Prime Day discounts are hitting everything from Pixel phones to Nest cameras and the Pixel Watch 4. After digging through the listings, these are the deals that stood out the most.
Google Pixel 10 vs Pixel 10 Pro

Some Prime Day deals feel like discounts in name only, but after digging through this year's sale, I found a few Google deals that are genuinely worth your attention. Several Pixel 10 models are seeing triple-digit price cuts, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is at its lowest price yet, and a few Nest products are available at prices that are actually hard to ignore. Whether you're looking for a new smartphone, smartwatch, streaming device, or smart home upgrade, these are the Google deals I'd recommend before Prime Day wraps up on June 26.

Prime Day is often associated with upgrading devices inside the home, but some of the most interesting deals this year are focused on the spaces outside it. From June 23 to June 26, Sylvox is offering discounts of up to 28% on its Frameless Series Outdoor TVs, bringing down the cost of a category that has become increasingly relevant as homeowners invest more in their outdoor living spaces.

The timing reflects a broader shift in how backyards, patios, and decks are being used. What were once occasional gathering spots are increasingly functioning as extensions of the home, doubling up as entertainment areas, outdoor dining spaces, and even wellness zones. As these spaces evolve, homeowners are paying closer attention to the products they bring into them—not just in terms of performance, but also how they fit into the overall design.
