There are over 30 items listed in the Camera & Photo lightning deals (old format) or Full Page format (faster to navigate on Desktop) of the Amazon Gold Box. Due to time constraints I cannot create a detailed listing of them all. The usual assortment of accessories are running throughout the day.

AmazonBasics Holster Camera Case for $7 [limit 3]
The AmazonBasics Cleaning Kit hasn’t been discounted to doorbuster pricing again, but we have another AmazonBasics camera bag that is currently discounted. It is the new condition AmazonBasics Holster Camera Case going for the very specific price of $6.94, with up to three per customer at the sale price.
Check reviews (4.3 out of 5 on 880+) and answered questions (91 of them) and the product description and galleries to get a feel for what it can and what it cannot fit.
HOWEVER, this is currently an ADD-ON item. Anyone can buy it, unlike the orange DSLR gadget bag, this one can be purchased by all customers, not just Prime members. But because it is an ADD-ON item, you must have a $25+ order in your shopping cart. This applies to everyone, since the main reason of the ADD-ON program was to curb Prime members’ enthusiasm [HA!] ~ eg, buying a $1 trinket and getting FREE 2-day shipping coast to coast 🙂
If you are looking for ideas on how to get to $25+, here are some

AmazonBasics Medium DSLR Gadget Bag for $15 [limit 5; PRIME ONLY]
Orange is the new discount! For Prime members only, Amazon is offering the orange-interior version of their AmazonBasics Medium DSLR Gadget Bag for $15 with free shipping (since only Prime members can buy it) and a maximum of five bags per customer.
There are two sizes on the page, so page attention to that if you are reading reviews and answered questions. All together, they average 4.6 out of 5 based on 3000+ customer reviews, and have nearly 300 answered questions.
Check the pictures and descriptions for measurements to get a feel for what you can fit in. Here’s a screenshot of one of the many gallery pictures over there. The 80-second video is a general AmazonBasics branding video, not for this bag in particular.
Pre-order the new Samsung Galaxy Note 8
Per the Mobile OS Fairness Doctrine, having mentioned the new iPhones, we now have to mention the flagship Android phone with its dual OIS cameras, which, what a coincidence, is also available for pre-order!
FACTORY UNLOCKED
If you prefer factory unlocked, with USA warranty and no carrier strings attached, you can get it for $930 in two color options at B&H Photo and Amazon itself.
Samsung’s own store offers it both factory unlocked, and also in six carrier configurations (the Big Four, plus US Cellular and Comcast/Xfinity) for $930. They also have an optional $300 Trade-In Promotion of qualifying/eligible trade-in phones.
UPDATE: if you are a fan of eBay shopping, they have a variety of listings. Keep in mind, eBay is an open marketplace with all kinds of product conditions and authorized dealer status and international models and such, so be sure to scrutinize each listing before buying!
CARRIER OFFERS
Carriers have a variety of offers with their terms and conditions and restrictions and pitfalls, so be sure to read and understand them before jumping aboard a particular carrier…
There are also some promotions that get you free accessories with early pre-orders. Check each carrier’s various options for details.
AT&T offers a 30-month installment plan with 0% APR on approved credit and such, for $31.67 per month. They have an up to $300 trade-in promotion, fineprint buried at the bottom of that page.
T-Mobile offers an old fashioned “Buy One, Get One FREE” promotion, with their own set of prerequisites and requirements for the promotion.
SPRINT has a “Switch to Sprint” promotion that is $20 per month on the 18-month Sprint FLEX Lease program with monthly bill credits on approved credit, with their prerequisites and restrictions. Note that this is a lease promotion, not a purchase promotion.
Verizon Wireless has a Trade-IN promotion that gets you up to 50% off Galaxy Note 8 with select trade-ins and a monthly payment plan and with other requirements. The 50% off is reserved for ten models (S7*, S8*, iPhone 7*, Pixel XL, etc), while the 35% off is with previous previous generation flagships, and 25% off is three times previous generation models.

IPHONE 8 and 8 PLUS PROMOTIONS
Be sure to read all the terms and conditions for the carrier promotions, as each carrier has their own terminology and fineprint!
At Sprint, their Best Trade-IN offer is 50% off the price of an iPhone 8 or 8 PLUS with a string of prerequisites including Sprint FLEX, and eligible trade-in, with new line or qualifying upgrade, etc, etc. Check all the details there.
At AT&T Wireless they offer a 30-month 0% APR installment plan on approved credit with their own set of prerequisites.
At T-Mobile, everyone gets a giant splash of magenta for FREE 😉 They too have a trade in promotion with up to $300 in 24 bill credits with eligible trade-in and their own prerequisites. They actually created a readable FAQ on the Trade-In offer, which all carriers should be required to provide instead of hiding all the terms in tiny online fineprint and anachronistic terminology 🙂 [T-Mobile does this too, not just the other three, but in this case, the FAQ is a nice touch]
Verizon Wireless has a trade-in promotion for the iPhone 8 and also the iPhone 8 PLUS that gets you $100 or $200 or $300 depending on which phone you are trading in. Only specific models are eligible for the trade-in bonus:
