By Christine McKee

With Prime Day 2016 well underway, it's not just Amazon that's offering up deals on Apple hardware and accessories. We're rounding up the best Prime Day bargains on phones, Apple TVs and more with discounts of up to $300 off with free shipping.

30% off cases

Kicking off the Prime Day deal roundup is a discount that comes from, well, Amazon. Whether you're shopping for a MacBook protective shell or an iPhone SE case, Amazon has a variety of styles that are 30% off for Prime members today only. Choose from popular brands, such as Speck, Targus and Mophie -- eligible items include everything from cheerful patterns to heavy duty workhorses with maximum drop and scratch protection.

On top of that, shipping is free and the phone comes in two colors: Silver and Space Gray. Need a protection plan? Walmart offers a 2-year Care Plan for $34.
