I ordered two of these timbuk2 bags. One for my iPad2 and one for my wife's iPad1. They were by all accounts on the description the same, and i bought from this link--I accessed this page from my accounts and prior orders on both purchases. Both said fit the iPad1 and iPad2. The first one I ordered from a third party seller on amazon (ebags) because amazon didn't have any. The second I ordered from amazon. When they came, they are slightly different sizes.



The ebag one fits my ipad2 is about a half inch smaller than the amazon one. It fits perfectly my ipad2 with a smartcover--a leather one if that makes a difference. My wife's iPad1 with the apple case doesn't fit in it.



The amazon one (I.e., the one sold directly from amazon) is bigger and fits the iPad1 with the apple case. There's just a touch of extra room, but it is a great fit. The iPad2 if a little loose in it.



Overall, both bags are great. Good padding. I like the look. There is cushion but it is not overly thick. But there is a little bit of buyer beware out there. If you have an ipad2 in all likelihood you want the smaller bag, but there is no real way to tell from the ordering system.



Edit: If you look at some of the more recent reviews above, it seems as if they might be sending out the smaller one now (as opposed to the larger one discussed in the older comments). So if you have an iPad1 and want to use the apple case, this may not be the sleeve for you. Timbuk2 iPad Envelope Sleeve (Village Violet/Barley/Barley, X-Small)

This will fit an iPad2 with the smartcover. This sleeve is nice and thin and should offer a little more protection in addition to the smartcover. The "hook and loop" fastener system is very strong and won't come undone easily.



I bought a smaller sleeve this past fall for my Kindle and liked it so much I wanted to get one for my iPad2.

The sleeve is well made and has the right amount of padding while maintaining a thin profile, but as another reviewer had mentioned, there's an issue with the sizing. I ordered two sleeves both directly from amazon and I ended up getting two different sizes. The first one fit the iPad2 + smart cover perfectly, but the second one is really loose (almost half an inch of wiggle on both ends). I'm getting a replacement from amazon soon, so we'll see if it was just a fluke or maybe their supplier has an older stock of the larger sleeve...



Update:

After 2 more replacements, I was unable to get the smaller sleeve that fits the iPad2 snug for my second sleeve. The sleeve is still great, but unfortunately, it's hit or miss with the sizing. I'm happy with my first one, but unfortunately I can't keep asking for replacements until I get the right one for my friend. I'm still rating this 5 stars because the sleeve I'm keeping works great and fits perfectly, and amazon customer service has been exceptional.



If you want to see the size difference between the cases, take a look at the photo I uploaded on the product page.

I bought this because I have one of their laptop cases with which I am very pleased. The laptop case is thickly quilted and very protective. The iPad case is also very protective, although not quite as thick/padded as the laptop case. Still, it is thick enough and wonderful for what I wanted it for: Protect the iPad from scratches and dents when I toss it in my backpack. It's hardy and well-made with tough, rigid seams all around the outer edge. The flap closes with three large velcro strips - maybe too much, but better too much than too little.

Fast Delivery. The color of the Sleeve is attractive. But seriously, i would not recommend anyone to get this sleeve for iPad2. The flip is hard. The width of the sleeve does not have any extra space left which means that you got to use a slight force in order to fit it in. (Ended up getting scratches on the side of my iPad2. The material inside the sleeve does not provide a sense of secure. (It's abit rough). Would like to return the item if possible.

The Timbuk2 iPad envelope sleeve is perfect for what I was needing. After getting my iPad I went and bought a keyboard case to go with it-ZAGGmate with Keyboard, but still felt that I'd need something else in case I didn't need to take the keyboard case with me. I was pleasantly surprised that not only does my iPad fit perfectly in this case, and although it's a little snug, I can put the iPad into the Zaggmate keyboard case and then put the entire thing into the Timbuk2 sleeve! Got the baby blue/grey/white and it looks pretty stylish too, if you're into that. Good padding, without being overkill and also looks great when carrying it as well!

Been looking for a sleeve to fit my Ipad2. This looked light weight, I liked the style and looked easy to carry (which it is) but when received, it was too small. When I tried to slide my Ipad2 in the sleeve, it wouldn't fit. I returned it, ordered a second, one as the representive told me that with this item, the size can vary. After receiving the second one - I give up - this one is smaller than the first, about 1/4 inch smaller. Needless to say, this one is being sent back. - Bluetooth Keyboard - Ipad Keyboard - Ipad Case - Ipad 2'

Walkie Talkie - motorola, 2-way radio

Visit Store Now !!

This radio works very well in hilly terrain and is easy to use. Reception is clear. One suggestion: the online product information should indicate that the "R" in EM1000R refers to the fact that the pair of radios comes with a recharging bay (with a slot for each radio). This will make comparison among products clearer. Motorola TalkAbout EM1000R 20-Mile 22-Channel FRS/GMRS Two-Way Radio (Pair)

The EM1000R radios are very good. They are good for short range 2-way radio general usage. You must remember that there is NO scramble mode on these radios, so absolutely no possibility of any privacy at all (000%). Motorola refers to the CTCSS & DCS codes correctly as Eliminator Codes. Too many manufacturers refer to them as Privacy Codes (which is INCORRECT). CTCSS/DCS do not offer any privacy at all. They help keep out unwanted conversations from being received by the radio. But do not block or prevent anyone else on any other FRS/GMRS or SCANNER radio from hearing you. The EM1000R has all 38 standard CTCSS tones. And has 83 DCS codes available.



Here are a couple of things I really like about the EM1000R radios:



- Very good pickup on the built-in MIC

- Very good audio on the built-in speaker (perhaps the best)

- the QT mode is very cool. When ENABLED, it prevents other

radio users using the same CHANNEL and QUIET CODE from being

heard by blocking reception of those radios. Very very cool

feature. It blocks the other non-motorola radios even if they

are using the same CTCSS/DCS code. Again, very cool feature.

- the ALERT button is cool. Its very similar to EMERGENCY

buttons used on Motorola Trunk and Conventional Radio Systems.

It activates the PTT with an ALERT for 8 seconds, then turns ON the MIC

automatically on the affected radio for 22 seconds. And turns

the VOLUME UP all the way on any and all other Motorola EM1000R

radios that are receiving the signal. Then cranks the VOLUME

back down to the regular level after the 22 seconds. Very cool

function/feature. Very well thought out Motorola. Congrats!

- Weather Radio Alert is always nice, thank you Motorola

- LED flashlight is very cool, thank you Motorola

- The many, many ways to recharge the batteries. Way to go Motorola.

- The END Squelch Tail is eliminated when using either CTCSS or DCS codes on any channel. Hooray, glad to see the END Squelch Tail finally eliminated. Motorola, you are the BEST, thank you. I have been wanting radios that eliminate that darn END Squelch tail. It is so annoying. Thank you Motorola for including this feature in the EM1000R radio!



Now for the things I do NOT like about the EM1000R:



- No basic SCRAMBLE mode (Inversion Mode would have better than none)

- Power output is at fixed level while on GMRS channels. Would of

liked to have either HI/LO or HI/MED/LO options while on GMRS channels.

FRS channels 8-14 are locked at 1/2-watt power output on all radios, of course, per the FCC.

- There is a SCAN/SEARCH feature. No FRS/MURS/GMRS radio should have ever been manufactured with a SEARCH/SCAN feature. It is the reason we have so many problems/complaints with these services. If you want to SCAN, get a SCANNER radio. That is what they are designed to do. FRS/MURS/GMRS radios should have never been made with SCAN/SEARCH feaures. One of the biggest mistakes ever made to these radio services.

That is why we have so much on-air HARRASSMENT and RF STALKING that takes place by your snooping neighbors.



To summarize, I really really like the QT mode. It keeps out non-EM1000R radios from being heard on your radio even if they are using the correct CHANNEL and CTCSS/DCS code. Having a RF power setting would have been nice while on the GMRS channels, to control the power output. And no SCRAMBLE mode means there is <Zero> privacy from other FRS/GMRS and SCANNER radios. Of course, Audio-Inversion scrambling does not offer much protection from ease-dropping anyway. But it offers at least alittle bit. So, when operating these or any FRS/MURS/GMRS radio, make sure to use CODES, NICKNAMES and do NOT give out REAL NAMES, PHONE NUMBERS, EMAIL ADDRESSES and try not to give out your location. Use abbreviations when possible, and use CODED-LOCATIONs, if you must. Say things like: I am on the A street, or B street, or similar. Remember, there are KIDDIES-PUNKs listening. There are OLD-FARTS and CROOKS listening too, just waiting to use your personal info against you.

These are very nice radios. I am very happy with the purchase.



Pros:

- These radios came with a free car charger in the box! The sticker on it said it was for a limited time..

- They look nice. They have a high quality feel to them.

- The rechargable batteries included are the 3 AA cell batteries. That's a plus because I can easily use AA alkaline Batteries from the shop if I run out of juice.

- It comes with built-in LED flash light.



Cons:

- The batteries are only 650 mAh Ni-Cd, which are a bit low compared to current NiMH. Maybe I'll throw in a trio of eneloops in if I start running out of battery.

- The stand alone charger is a dumb charger which I think keeps on charging once full (potentially dangerous). The manual is a bit confusing regarding this fact. - Two-way Family Service Radio - 2-way Radio - Motorola - Two-way Radios'

I have an Apple TV and Blu-ray player but only one HDMI port on my TV and I was getting tired of manually swapping the HDMI cable between the them. I was also worried that over time the HDMI cable/port would degrade from the constant handling so I began hunting for a HDMI switch.



After comparing HDMI switches, I finally decided to go with the 3 port HDMI smart switch from Mediabridge. My main reason was based on price and the reviews. I'm very happy with this device (I don't usually go through the trouble of writing reviews so that says something)! It's not as expensive as a lot of the others I found and does exactly what I need it to do. It's compact and silent so I can discretely tuck it behind my TV with the rest of the cables and doesn't require an external power source (yay one less cable).



It includes an IR receiver and remote to manually switch between the 3 ports but it's a 'smart' switch so I was happy to discover that I didn't have to bother with using those accessories since it switches between my devices automagically. Apple TV owners will discover that it constantly outputs a signal (even if you put it to sleep), so the switch will constantly make the port the Apple TV is plugged into the active port. I put my Apple TV on port 3 and my Blu-ray player on port 1. When I power up my Blu-ray player, port one automatically becomes active without any intervention from me. After I power down my Blu-ray player, the Apple TV resumes making port 3 active. I love how it seamlessly switches between the two without me needing to do anything. The only caveat is I have to power on/off my Blu-ray player, which I do anyway so not a big deal. The switch also has a button on it you can press to cycle between the different ports if you need to, but as I already mentioned it switches automatically for me so I don't use that feature.



I'm also very happy with the video and audio quality I get with using this switch. It claims to have full HD 1080P Support and supports HDMI 1.3 which I can't verify since my TV only supports up to 720p but I can say that I have not noticed any degradation in video or audio quality while using it.



Keep in mind that you may need to purchase additional HDMI cables as none are included with this switch. You need one cable from the switch to your TV and an additional HDMI cable for each port you use on the switch. I picked up 2 Mediabridge HDMI cables for about $10 each with my order and they work great with my setup. Mediabridge - 3 Port Smart HDMI Switch

I purchased this switcher because of the set up I have at my house. I have my 52 inch Sony wall mounted with my Verizon Fios and Blue Ray about 35 feet away from the TV. I wanted to get a switcher to eliminate pulling a new HDMI cable and fishing the walls again. This product is very easy to install and is very user friendly.





I strongly recommend this product to anyone that wants a quick and easy solution that produces great results!!



Checking out and Shipping were great also!!

Hello I'm a PC Enthusiast/Gamer for most of my life and the reason I purchased this switch is because I own a 32" Samsung LCD TV that has 3 HDMI inputs but for some reason beyond me Samsung decided to make it so that you can only use this television's native resolution which is 1360x768 on HDMI input 1. On the other two HDMI inputs you can only use the conventional resolutions such as 480i/p or 1280x720. So I already had my PC using up HDMI slot 1 but I wanted to run my Xbox 360 at the tv's native resolution instead of 720p because I'm so picky about the image quality being perfect.



So I just received the switch from shipping a few hours ago and so far I'm absolutely loving it. I just plugged my PC and Xbox 360 into slots 1 and 2 on the HDMI switch and then ran my third cable to the tv from the output slot and it was ready to go. I can be on my PC and if I decide I want to play some Xbox I just turn on the console and the switch automatically jumps right over to my 360. Then when I power off the 360 the display goes right back to my PC, I love that I don't even have to bother getting up to press any buttons and if I do decide that I want to switch back over to my PC while I still have my 360 powered on I can just grab the handy little remote that comes with it and switch back and forth to my hearts content, lol. Oh and I haven't even mentioned how impressed I am with the picture quality, everything is pixel perfect as if you're doing a straight HDMI connection to the television, no signal loss or problems whatsoever and audio through the switch is perfect.



I also want to mention that before I purchased this switch I bought the same thing except Philips brand at Walmart for $35 that did not have a remote or auto switching and it was junk. It only had the button switches on the front and when I switched through sources it would sometimes leave artifacts on my screen and if I had my PC and Xbox 360 plugged in at the same time my PC would only display if I had my 360 turned on which made no sense at all so I returned it to Walmart and ordered this switch and I couldn't be happier, $10 cheaper and works 10x better.



I highly recommend this switch to anyone that just needs more HDMI inputs or on the rare occasion has a tv like mine and is picky with their resolutions and needs it for that reason. I wanted something like this ever since I bought my TV a couple years ago but every time I shopped around for one they were always priced so high at $100 and over, I think I actually saw some for around $200 which I think is ridiculous. I can't believe how amazing this one performs considering it's only around $20. I'm seriously thinking about ordering another to put up for later. - Mediabridge - Hdmi - Hdmi Switch - Highly Recommend'

Micro Four Thirds - micro four thirds, camera guide

Visit Store Now !!

By far the best camera guide I've ever seen. Whereas most competing books do a quick overview of the options and then launch into generic how to take pictures advice (which is likely too simplistic and therefore not useful to someone who shells out for an advanced camera like the E-P2), Busch's book concentrates almost exclusively on the various sundry options for this Olympus camera. The book is clear and absolutely essential for those who have bought (or want to buy) a Pen E-P2.



The owner's manual that Olympus provides with the Pen E-P2 is clear but doesn't help decide when the various options might be useful. Unless you're already an advanced photographer you'll find yourself asking the question, "Sure I now know how to change that setting, but why would I want to?" This is where David Busch's book comes in. It is a comprehensive guide to the E-P2 and explains clearly in large color pictures and text how to get better photos from what is already a fantastic camera. I found it to be a superb book, well laid out and, at the price, excellent value for money. I highly recommend it and suggest that, along with your tripod, alternative lenses and flashgun, it forms an essential component of every Pen photographer's kit.



Because I own this camera, I was already aware that it doesn't have a built-in flash, and chalked the reference to such as a typo, rather than some humongous technical error. (The introduction of the book lists a URL for an errata page where reader-submitted corrections will be posted.) I also own one of Busch's previous books, and think it makes sense to share descriptions of basic concepts like shutter speeds and f-stops, rather than reinvent the wheel each time. When a new version of Photoshop comes out, I don't expect different descriptions of how to use the Selection tools. Beyond the basics, everything in this book relates directly to the Olympus camera and its use. I thank the author for taking the time to come out with the first, and so far only book written specifically for Pen E-P2 owners. David Busch's Olympus PEN EP-2 Guide to Digital Photography

This book is essential for any EP-2 owner and generally excellent.



There is so much to the EP-2 that it is almost impossible to fully grasp all the camera can do without reading this book first.



I would seriously recommend this book to those contemplating buying into this camera system. I would have bought the camera as soon as it came out if I had seen this book.



The photos in there help you grasp what the options can do; many options are near impossible to grasp without this photo visualization.



The flash section is particularly informative.



This book resolved practically every question I had.



Olympus should put the book on the CD that came with camera.

This book is exactly what I was wishing for. I'm a relatively experienced photographer, but the many options on my Olympus PEN E-P2 had me rather mystified. This book explains everything and tells me WHY I might want to use all the various settings. I've learned a ton!

This is a very helpful book. It is much clearer than the Olympus manual, which contains a lot of information but is marred by tiny type and imperfect English grammar. Rather than simply repeat what the manual says -- and there are several long tables in the manual that are quite reasonably referred to by cross reference -- the authors try to explain how and when various camera features are most useful. Some of this explanation occurs in the chapters on general photographic technique in the second half of the book. More experienced readers may be tempted to skip over these chapters, but I'd advise reading or at least skimming the entire book. An avid amateur, I've owned a variety of Olympus cameras before the PEN E-P2, starting with my beloved OM-1 some 35 years ago as well as several compacts and two Olympus DSLRs, and I still learned more than expected from this book. Yes, novice and intermediate users will gain the most, but IMHO this book is a worthwhile read for all but the more seasoned pro. Recommended.

I purchased three of David Busch's books over the years - Nikon D-200 (hardcover) and the Nikon D-90 and Olympus PEN E-P2 for my Kindle. They are very elementary books with about 80% of the material basic, first-time digital user dialog. The balance improves on the users manuals for these cameras, but only slightly. Touted as books to teach you "why" certain settings should be used, they lack any real substance in this regard with the majority of text devoted to lengthy passages devoted to step-by-step instructions to activate certain features; i.e. such as which direction to press the multi-selector to move through menus. I'm not certain, but I could swear these three books are "cut and paste" copies of each other with the names changed to sell more books. I am also disappointed that some of the instructions are just wrong. For example, in the chapter on using flash by "Connecting Multiple Non-dedicated Units to Your Olympus PEN E-P2", Mr. Busch says, "Finally some flash units have an optical slave trigger built-in, or can be fitted with one, so that they fire automatically when another flash, INCLUDING YOUR CAMERA'S BUILT-IN UNIT, fires. The E-P2 does not have a built-in flash. - Pen - Camera Guide - Photography Book - Micro Four Thirds'

Insulated Bag - insulated bag

We took this backpack on vacation to Utah and this pack did the trick. It's a durable product and the photo is very accurate. My only complaint was that the the flap was a bit of pain when trying to get in and out of the main zipper compartment. I would still recommend this product. Picnic Time Turismo Insulated Backpack Cooler, Olive

Love this bag. Only been using it for a couple weeks but my job is 12 hrs or more on the road and with all the pockets in this thing I have a place for everything. Love all the pockets and the reach-through on the top flap. Zippers, stitching and material seem heavy duty and of high quality. Love the water holder, I can get a large bottle in there and it stays cold surprisingly long. Very secure. It comes with an inexpensive water bottle but I'd just as soon drop in the store-bought. Keeps everything very secure. A great bag at twice the price.

My wife picked this up for me as a daily lunch carrier since I tend to carry books and other items besides my lunch. It was a bit larger then expected but since I work in an art field no one seemed to make fun of it since some of them carry truly strange things. Although it's larger then I'd like it is good for what it is and therefore I recommend it.



Pros:

Rugged, thick canvas.

Strong zippers, though plastic.

Thick insulation.

Plenty of zippered pockets.

Large capacity.

Good for a day trip on the trail.

External bottle carrier.



Cons:

Cheapest water bottle ever made. Leaks. (You'll be replacing it.)

Velcro on small side pockets is worthless. Should be magnetic snaps.

Pocket inside main compartments lid is very awkward to use.

Main flap has small velcro strip. Not a secure fastener.

I have been using this all summer to take me lunch to work. This is three times the size of my old lunch bag, which has caused a lot of jokes because I got it because I decided to eat healthier. But it really carries three meals, not just lunch (small meal more often.) Breakfast (which I use to skip), fruit and oatmeal( my first break). Lunch, a piece of fruit and a salad (and of course water.). And some yogurt and a apple for my last break. Before, I would have a sandwich (sometimes two), chips and desert for lunch. So the bag did not have to be very large to carry a lot of calories. And I would hit the vending machines for my breaks. The bag has plenty of pockets for knife, fork and spoon. Not to mention napkins and other doodads. I had a bubble gel icepack that fits perfectly in the bag. My only complaint is that the removable water bottle carrier sometimes comes out with the bottle when you don't what it to. The toggle that holds it comes loose a little bit each time you pull the bottle out until it is loose enough that the whole thing comes out. You have to check the toggle once in a while. I would prefer it if you could put a bottle in without the carrier, since I never use the carrier by itself.

Cooler is well made and appears durable. Product shipped quickly. Plenty of room for meals for a 12 hour shift worker. I did not receive a water bottle with it. I like the cooler but will give the company a thumbs down for not sending entire contents of purchased item, and I will not buy from them again.

I searched 'world wide' for this backpack cooler and am extremely happy. I love all the extra compartments, the insulation is great, good space in main compartment. Product is strong and sturdy. It is exactly what I was after for a family backpack cooler..... to take to parks, beach, picnics. I would recommend this product. Shipping info was good too - quick service. Go for it!

I bought this as a gift for my daughter who does a lot of hiking, biking etc. , outdoor activities. She was delighted with it becasue it is insulated, has many compartments and seems very durable. I'm probably reviewing prematurely since it's winter and the use will come more in other seasons but all indications are that it is a top pick. She was really excited about it and she does a lot of outdoor days so knows a lot about equipment. We both wish there were more color choices but that is not the point of the equipment.

I started looking for a new lunch box/bag about a month ago. I wanted something larger; I wanted something that would fit one of the larger Lean Cuisine boxes, some veggies and a breakfast muffin, had a water bottle holder, and a separate pocket or enough space for my Nook. Eventually I stumbled on backpack coolers. I was definitely getting closer. Finally I found this backpack. I actually got mine off of E-Bay because I really liked the Vista Blue color.

I absolutely love this backpack! There are pockets everywhere...including one that fits my Nook like a glove so it's nicely protected from the weather as it gets colder. I love the large insulated pocket and the smaller insulated pocket (actually I think all of the pockets have at least some insulation). I can put my breakfast goodies in the top pocket and my lunch in the main compartment and still have room for, say, books if I stop at the library after work (after all, the Nook simply can't replace some books!).

I like the sort of rugged rubber bottom and backing on the straps. The backing on the straps is ingenious...if you're carrying the bag slung over one shoulder it doesn't slip down your arm like the typical backpack. I also like how the pack stands upright on its own.

About the only complaint I have about the backpack is the water bottle pocket. It is quite large and designed to fit the large water bottle that is included (with a nifty insulated pouch you can take along without the bag). I have a smaller bottle I fill with milk and I've got the water bottle pocket cinched as tight as I can so hopefully there won't be any milk disasters while I'm commuting on the train!

Yes, this backpack is large and in reality I don't need quite as much room (3-4 inches smaller would've been perfect), but I like how much space I have. I like that everything I need to carry during the day has a spot without me carrying it in a separate bag or in my pockets.

I'm planning on taking this backpack with me on a trip to Baltimore. It'll be filled with my knitting stuff and I'll save some room to bring back some wine or other goodies. I'll also have plenty of space for snacks since it seems like airlines don't give free snacks anymore. - Insulated Bag'

Digital Camera Battery - canon, digital camera battery

Visit Store Now !!

I bought two of these to have as backup batteries on my Canon S90. For the last three weeks of heavy use (6000+ pics), I've had nothing but great results. The batteries perform exactly the same at the OEM Canon versions. I've even accidentally put both of them through the washer and dryer and they still work perfectly. I rarely rate anything 5-stars on here, but these batteries definitely deserve them. You simply can't beat the performance for this price. Maximal Power DB CAN NB-6L Replacement Battery for Canon Digital Cameras/Camcorders

This battery size is actually 1.72x1.26x0.31 which is too wide to fit my Canon SD1200 IS, or its charger. The battery that I received was actually marked "for nikon en-el12" and was only wrapped in "acd-291 Canon nb-6l" label and placed like that in the plastic box. Waste of time and money if you're looking for Canon SD1200 IS battery. The size of the original canon nb-6l battery that came with the camera is 1.65x1.355x0.27.

This battery lasts just as long as the original. Unfortunately it's too big for the SD1200IS. It fits in, but it takes a bit of forcing. Guess I should have known better. When it came time to remove it it wouldn't come out. The canon battery simply slid right out, but this one I literally had to pry the top open and use needle nose pliers to grab the piece I pried open and pull the battery out. I'm luck I didn't break my new camera. Amazon needs to let uesrs know that this is not an aftermarket replacement for the NB-6L. It make work ok in some cameras, but it absolutely is not the same size as the original and at least in the sd1200 it WILL NOT work and could harm your camera.

This battery lasts just as long as the original product battery and charges very quickly. With this price there is no real excuse to run out of juice while on a long trip or while using as a camcorder.

I was torn between the Canon name brand battery and this one. I chose to try this one as my back-up battery and it works great! I took it to California to a few themeparks and it never let me down. It easily lasted the full day in the park with over 150 pictures taken and the camera constantly getting turned off and on. You won't regret choosing this battery as a back-up to the Canon battery that comes with the camera.

I purchased this battery as an additional battery when I ordered my new camera. I didn't want to be caught with a picture opportunity, a dead battery, and no spare.

I've just returned from a vacation where the number of photographs that I took was sufficient to require swapping out and recharging batteries a number of times. I am very pleased to say that I saw no difference in the performance of this additional battery when compared to that of the original from Canon. I could take the same number of pictures and it took that same time to charge. Whether it will retain its performance for the same number of recharges as the original as it gets older is something only time will tell, but, for the present, I am very satisfied.

The newer Canon PowerShots use the slightly larger NB-6L battery rather than the earlier generation NB-4. I needed extras, so I ordered several including the MaximalPower. The battery I received from Amazon was black, not white like the picture, but it fit my new Canon SD4000-IS fine. However, the camera goes haywire when this battery is loaded -- powers on but won't power off, buttons don't function, etc. At first I thought the camera was defective, then quickly figured out that it worked fine with both its original Canon battery and the Digipower NB-6L I also bought from Amazon. The MaximalPower obviously is not supplying the correct power to the camera. Order the Digipower instead if you are looking for a Canon NB-6L. I now have several and they function great with good battery life that rivals the original OEM battery. - Digital Camera - Battery - Canon - Digital Camera Battery'

My DVR's internal storage was okay for standard def programming but when I updated to HD programming, it was woefully too small to handle this. So, I purchased this unit to provide additional capacity.



The unit couldn't be easier to install. Just turn off your DVR, plug the Expander into the port on the unit using the included cable. Then power the DVR back on.



The DVR will then "see" the new storage area and will be available for use. Note, your internal storage is no longer visible to the DVR. This means all of your stored programming, TO-DO scheduling, and guide info will no longer be available. You will have to rebuild your scheduling and wait for the guide to populate over the next day or so, just like if you got a new DVR. You can always uninstall the Expander later if you want to access the internal drive.



The payoff is loads of storage space. I had 3 pages of programming saved before my free space dropped by 1%.



The unit works great, exceeding my expecations. The only complaint I have is the Expander unit makes the typical external hard drives noises and can be heard chunking away when the tv volume is low. However, overall, I would recommend this unit to anyone needing to have a lot of space for a DVR with a small internal drive.

This product is great. I connected to the DIRECTV H24, the newest DVR from DIRECTV. No problems recognizing the drive. Just hate you can't switch from the DVR internal drive to the DVR expander. But the only thing you have to do is turn the power button off on the DVR expander and restart the satellite and it connects to DIRECTV internal drive. It's great to have that extra hard drive space. I highly recommend this product if you have DIRECTV. - External Hard Drive - Tivo Hd - Dvr - Esata'

Better think twice about carrying one of these. Flashing a badge when you're a civilian, even to save yourself from friendly fire, is a felony is most jurisdictions and will land you in prison and empty your savings account pronto. As a retired law enforcement officer, I can tell you that the vast majority of police officers have a negative view of these CWP badges. Concealed Carry Badge and Wallet

A CCW permit is a card similar to a driver's license. A badge isn't part of it. I can't see a legit reason to carry a gold badge saying CCW when the badge isn't recognized as proof. Unless someone wants to represent themselves as a cop or feels some rush when they flash this fake badge. It should come with a highway patrolman hat and spurs.

CCW has a real purpose. It is a serious responsibility. This product is for a mall cop wannabes.

The package amounts to a pretty good set. Badge and wallet are quality products that will satisfy many and perhaps even most buyers I feel sure. But for me the set consists of more bulk than I want to carry. If I were designing the set I would create a flat badge rather than one that is convex. And I would make the wallet smaller and softer.



People who are licensed carriers are not police officers who will be pulling out a badge day in and day out. Chances are that carriers will never display it. So why would anyone want to carry a badge & wallet set that necessitates a substantial pocket of its own?



If the user is a woman who carries weapon and badge in a purse, this badge/wallet combination is just fine. I am not, so I prefer something lighter that doesn't take up as much space.



My solution: I clipped the badge inside an old, soft, thin and well-used wallet that has space for license and ID. The resulting package will be effective in the unlikely event that I must use it, while at the same time being unobtrusive and easy to carry.

If you carry this in the wallet and someone sees it, it should give them relief, better than them seeing a gun imprinted on your waist. Even though I prefer to have the badge clipped to my belt instead. I read comments about the only one who would want this is a wanna be lol, being a cop isnt a glorious job, its actually underpaid. I work in the health field which is alot more stable. This would be perfect for someone like me or you in a grocery store, who has there weapon on their waist under a shirt, and while reaching to get something off the shelf, the shirt rises. Now some bozo is gonna see your weapon freak out, and call the police. Instead with one of these badges clipped beside your weapon on your belt. The bozo would be at ease, and go about their business. Nobody is going around saying wear this on your shirt, and play vigilante with it. Ideally this would be hidden just like your weapon. A DEA agent told me this btw. Heck you could go to a surplus store and buy a shirt, vest, and hat that says POLICE or SWAT, and their is nothing illegal about that until you start trying to stop crimes. It's not at bad idea to have one of these badges, but it's certainly not necessary, but when those police respond and make a scene and treat you like a criminal in the middle of walmart or your local mall because your weapon got exposed or the imprint of it was seen, and some bozo with a blackberry calls and says there is a man or woman in the store with a gun, you might wish you had one to deter them from making that call.



*NOTE* Make sure you acually have a CPL (or CCW depending on where you are from) permit before carrying your weapon or this badge. - Badge Holder - Badge Holders - Chp - Ccw'

Jewelry Organizer - earring holder, bracelet

Visit Store Now !!

This jewelry holder was supposed to have 48 holes for earrings. 12 holes in four rows. The holder I received had 9 holes in 3 rows or a total of 27. Odd, given that ears come in even numbers. It would not even stand up without needing to bend the feet. And to my surprise I had a much bigger shipping fee and shipping time than I originally expected. Definitely not worth the money. Jewelry Holder, Jewelry Stand for Earrings / Necklaces / Brecelets, Gift Idea

I purchased two of these jewelry holders, one for my daughter and one for myself. We are able to organize our jewelry really easy now, and hang the most-used jewelry on these holders since you can easily access them on it. The holder is actually smaller than it appears, but it can fit a lot of jewelry (we even use the loops on the top for bracelets). Large earrings are a problem though because they hang so low and wide. But the jewelry holder is nice in appearance, too, so on a night table top it looks really good with all the jewelry.

Although it was impeccably wrapped and packaged, a piece was still bent upon arrival. I thought it was a bit pricey for what I paid once I saw the stand. It holds almost all of my dangly earrings and necklaces, but I had to overlap several necklaces. It's alright, good jewelry stands are just difficult to find. It does the job.

This was cute and was exactly what i was looking for. The only problems were that it wasn't level. It wabbles back and forth. The other problem is that the shipping and handling was very pricy. It was too pricy in my opinion

I paid $25 for this item and do not feel it was anywhere near worth that much. The welding work is of extremely poor quality. There are holes that have no apparent purpose and look like maybe slips of the soldering tool. The bars are attached crooked and it wobbles on its feet. It does what I need it to do, though, which is keep my earrings organized so that's why I gave it 3 stars. It's just not as pretty as it could be solely because of the flaws in assembly. The material is actually very sturdy. So sturdy that I'm nervous to bend the feet to make it not wobble so I will try adding felt pads to them instead. I cannot recommend this product because in my opinion the workmanship is shoddy but if all you're looking for is utility then it works just fine.

I looked for a while to find a jewelry stand that would hold both earrings and necklaces, and I'm pleased with this one. (I also keep rings and bracelets on the scrollwork on the top.) The earring rows are a little close together if you have really long earrings, but I just staggered them when I needed to. Also, the product I received is exactly what is shown in the picture and described; I didn't have the problem others have had with the number of holes being wrong.



My only complaint is the quality. The stand is very wobbly, and it's not a pliable enough metal for me to confidently bend it into shape. However, I put a foam pad on only one corner, and it's fairly stable now, so I'm not too worried about it.



Overall: not the best quality, but functional and attractive.

The jewelry stand was exactly what I expected and it fit all my jewelry perfectly. However, there was one problem. It was a little wobbly, but it's nothing that a bench can't fix. I'm happy with my purchase.

It's a little shoddy when it comes to craftsmanship, but only if you stare at it. The legs are a little wobbly, but I intend to take them off anyway so I can hang it on the wall. If I didn't hang it on the wall, the stand would be too short for my necklaces.

The stand is not the best quality, but it serves its purpose for the money. It would have been nice if it was a little bit taller so my necklaces would not touch the bottom. Overall, it's a good purchase. - Earrings - Bracelet - Earring Holder - Earring Organizer'

Image Stabilization - lens, 55-200mm

Visit Store Now !!

This lens is sharp even at wide apertures, the VR (image stabilization) works great, autofocus speed is more than acceptable, and it it is very light and compact. The fact that it costs $250 and has effective VR is pretty amazing - no other company offers a lens with this feature for anywhere near this price.



As for image quality, search the various internet photo sites, such as dpreview and nikonians for sample photos taken with this lens by real users. The results are impressive! My copy produces similar results. The previous reviewer must have a bad sample.



Of course, the lens is slow (like almost all consumer zoom lenses), in that its widest aperture is smaller than a professional zoom or prime lens, so it's not a good choice for action photography in lower light conditions (like indoor sports without flash or outside sports at dusk). But a fast telephoto zoom will cost at least three times as much and weigh a ton.

I give the lens 5 stars based on a combination of image quality, value, and compactness/lightness. Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR [Vibration Reduction] Nikkor Zoom Lens

I had the 55-200mm non VR version for about 5 months, sold it to essentally recover my cost, and bought the VR version as a replacement. The non VR version was very compact and light, and produced excellent photos, but the slightly larger VR version is so much more usable I don't miss the other lens at all. The VR works as advertised and allows me to take pictures at 3 times or more lower shutter speeds than the non VR version. While I would love the 18-200mm VR for the convenience, I will never be able to justify the $750 price, so my 18-55mm kit lens and this lens will likely cover my needs as long as I own my camera. I also seriously considered the 70-300mm VR, but couldn't accept twice the price for only 50% more reach. And at twice the length of the 55-200mm non VR version, it would be too awkward for me to carry around. I am very satisfied with this 55-200mm VR lens and if you are considering it, please give it a try. You will not be dissapointed.

My Nikon ownership goes back over 30 years to the days when cameras were made of metal and carrying one with a few lenses tested your stamina.



Times sure have changed. There's hardly a metal camera to be found and you can carry a bag full of equipment in one hand. The Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Zoom Nikkor is the latest lightweight from this heavyweight of the camera industry.



Plastic construction right down to its lens mount. This thing looks and feels like the label should say Fisher Price and not Nikon. However, looks can be deceiving as I soon found out.



My only reason for buying this lens was that I needed to fill a void in my kit until I saved up enough for a 70-200mm f2.8. I had no intention of keeping the 55-200 VR once the 70-200 arrived.



After shooting with the 55-200 for a few months I've come to appreciate what it can do. It's limited to use in good light as even VR can't change the laws of physics. In this case, it's not even the current VR-II but the original VR that Nikon developed a few years ago.



With sufficient light and good technique, the 55-200 is capable of very good performance. No, it's not as sharp and contrasty as the 70-200. It's also not going to survive the bad weather or a few solid knocks that professional use would expose it to.



Where the 55-200 excels is in its portability and above average performance. For travel or just walking around, it would be hard to beat this lens if it's used within its limits. I use mine on a D80 and have no problem getting excellent 13x19" prints.



As an added bonus, it works very well with the Nikon CL3T closeup lens and does double duty as a macro zoom. Again, it's not a substitute for a real macro zoom like the Nikon 70-180, but it's not intended to be.



Given my original opinion of this lens, I have to admit that I've gotten much more than my money's worth out of it. Instead of selling it, I'm going to keep it and use it when my 70-200 is just to big and heavy to carry around.



If you're on a budget or just want a nice, lightweight lens in this range, take a look at the Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR. Like me, you may be very much surprised at what it can do.

If you looking for something relatively inexpensive and fun to carry around, this is the lens for you. Quality is good in good light, most of the time, and can be exceptional sometimes. The plasticy feel doesn't bother me because I avoid carrying around a hunk of metal.



The VR works like a charm in good light.



However, I've noticed softness (at all apertures) often enough where I would not use this lens for any professional work. For example, the Nikkor 180 f/2.8 blows this lens away in quality of manufacture and resulting photos.



I've also noticed softness and noise in almost all of my night photos using this lens, even with a very heavy tripod and no wind.



The focusing system on the lens also is slow as molasses. I tried to capture the Blue Angels flying low over the homes in my neighborhood (an awesome annual occurence), and each shot was blown as the lens hunted for focus. Plenty of good light for high shutter speeds (midday, 1/2500s at f/4), but by the time the lens was focused, the subject had moved so far the photo was blown.



If you want to have fun and need a good lens, buy this one. If you are a professional or OBAM (obessessed amateur), save for the higher quality lenses because you'll be disappointed.



I wish more people would objectively weigh the positives and the negatives in their reviews so that those considering buying this lens can make an informed decision. While this is a very good lens on a tight budget, this is not a great lens directly compared against other similar (and more expensive) lenses. - Vr - Lens - 55-200mm - Nikkor'

External Storage - external storage, seagate

Visit Store Now !!

I got this with one purpose in mind - to get the MP3s off my hard drive. (Seagate apparently wants me to use it for movies - more on that below). I have so far found it to perform flawlessly, with a few caveats:



Pros:



- My laptop (WinXP) treats it like another hard drive, so I can drag-and-drop stuff directly onto my player, and can extract winzip files on the drive to another directory on the drive, and move stuff around in general.

- It runs off the USB power, so no need for a power cord

- The upload transfer speed (USB2) from my internal hard drive is just over a gig a minute for MP3s - I moved 18gb of music, in files of between 2 and 5 megs each, in just over 17 minutes, and 5 gig of audiobooks, in zip files of up to 300meg, in 4.5 minutes. This may change as the disk gets more fragmented.



Cons:



This isn't so much an external drive as an internal drive in a case. The "GoFlex" connector (which is not shown in the pictures) is a bus-to-USB adapter, and other adapters are available (Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Upgrade Cable USB 3.0 - STAE104). This is great for sharing files, and perhaps for eventually putting multiple drives in a jukebox or desk brick, but it means there's a third bit of electronics between the USB cable and the drive, with all the potential for loss and breakage that implies. The connection was already a tiny bit wobbly right out of the box, though I note that the snaps are metal, not plastic, which does mitigate. (The drive says "Made in Thailand and assembled in China" Sheesh).



I decided not to install the backup software, so can't comment on that.



Movies:



Seagate wants you to use this drive for movies (and one of the GoFlex adapters will output directly to a compatible TV). And to this end, my drive came preloaded with about 45 gig of movies from Paramount. They're not free, however, just preloaded, with a promise of a free Star Trek: Reboot if you register the drive.

I did redeem the Star Trek movie (a short series of hoops, including agreeing to share my data with "third-party vendors", two different EULAs - from Seagate and Paramount, a DRM agreement from Microsoft, and registration on the Paramount site in case I want to buy more). I note that the movies seem to be $10 or $15 each, that they don't include any bonus materials (unlike my Star Trek DVD), and that "buying" a movie gets you three "licenses" - trying to play ST:R from the same Seagate drive on another laptop spawned a pop-up asking if I wanted to download another license, so I guess the licenses are associated with the individual computer, not the drive. (In a further loss of geek creds, the registration software automatically popped up IE as the browser.)



Fortunately, the movies can be deleted. Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1 TB USB 3.0 Ultra-Portable External Hard Drive with Paramount in Black STAA1000101

Tried to sum up all the features in the title. Definitely worth going for. Seems USB3 is catching trend and expect new laptops to support the USB3 connections. Even if your present laptop has only USB2, you can use this drive. The drive comes with a sata to usb3 adaptor and a single cable(usb3 connector for HDD and USB2 for your laptop). I connect to my USB2 laptop and get a read speed of 28-30MB/s and write of 13-15MB/s. Which is the same speed for all the external portable HDDs. You can definitly get the USB3 speed by using a USB3 adaptor for your laptop.

Tip. Seagate drives are a little costlier as compared to Western Digital. But they come with the flexibility of connectors (firewire, usb3 etc each for $15-25). Also, I read the WD usb3 drive is capable of ~105MB/s read speed and seagate is merely 78MB/s (cnet reviews havent tested myself).

After only 6 weeks of use and no noteworthy physical trauma, this drive failed catastrophically, corrupting most of the data on it in the process. I wish I listened to the voice in my head saying, "Hmm, this doesn't seem very sturdy," when I took it out of the box, but I instead used it as planned for housing files I need at home and at the digital lab that I use for work. As another reviewer observed, this hard drive had an annoying spontaneous ejecting habit. My real problem was when it imploded - with a backup in progress - after less than 2 months of use. It was functioning normally one minute and then the drive's light started blinking and my computer was unable to recognize it. We tried the drive in another enclosure and hooked to a linux computer that usually will recognize even corrupted drives. Nothing. The data recovery lab I ultimately sent it to had to replace multiple "physically damaged" components to restore functionality and found more than half of the data was in fact corrupted. Mind you, this drive had never been dropped and travelled primarily in a protective camera bag. Call me crazy, but I think that a drive billed as "ultra-portable" should be able to withstand a few weeks of regular desktop use and the occasional commute. Do not recommend.



Note: I have a few older Seagate external hard drives (different models) that I've used for 1-2 years without incident. I've travelled extensively with them and had nothing but good things to say. That's why I went with Seagate on this one. I might even have been able to forgive the company its obvious construction and quality departure on this line but for the nightmarish customer service experience I had with Seagate after the drive crashed. Suffice it to say, I've sworn off Seagate products indefinitely. - External Hard Drive - External Storage - Seagate'

Recipricating Saw - demolition, reciprocating saws

Visit Store Now !!

This is a great saw for the homeowner. That having been said, I might as well get rid of the negatives first. The only real negatives I've seen are:



(a) It's made in Mexico. I don't have much of a problem with this, but it might be a little jolting to some to buy the DeWalt name, just to find out the tool was not made in the US.



(b) It doesn't seem as heavy-duty as the Sawzall models. If I were a working carpenter depending on this saw day in and day out, I'd probably buy the Milwaukee. But for the typical homeowner like me, this saw seems perfectly adequate.



The positives:



(a) It seems to be a solid, well-built machine.



(b) The four-way blade chuck is a very nice feature. It's very handy for cutting in different directions. I believe that seasoned carpenters wouldn't need this feature as often, as they are used to using their saws every which direction. But, again, for us homeowners it's great.



(c) The price-performance is excellent. You'd have to pay twice as much to get a Sawzall with the capability in the previous item. I love tools, but I can't justify the extra expense given that I'll only use it now and then.



(d) It weighs about the same as the equivalent Sawzall model, and less than the Sawzall that lets you cut in different directions.



As somebody else noted, it only comes with one blade (a metal cutting one). So make sure you buy at least one more blade. If you're new at using a recip saw as I was, I'd recommend just buying the standard short DeWalt wood-cutting blade until you get used to using the saw. After that, go buy a 12" blade. You'll need that long blade, for example, for building a deck: for cutting through the centers of 6x6 timbers, because your circular saw won't reach all the way to the center. DEWALT DW304PK 10 Amp Reciprocating Saw

My first reciprocating saw...and a dandy for the average handyman who has often scratched his head and knuckles trying to figure out how in the world to make a particular cut. The Dewalt is sturdy, if a bit heavy. The power is adequate for everything I've encountered so far...wood, steel, etc. Nothing cleaver to learn how to use, no wrenches or screws to misplace when changing blades, just straightforward cutting. the drop-in blade clamp is simple and effective. It makes changing blades fast and certain. Dewalt only send one blade with the saw and it's a metal cutting blade, so to keep up with chores involving wood, you need to pick-up a variety pack of blades at the local hardware store. This saw is everything I would expect.

I've owned this saw a couple years now. It's done everything I asked it to do, it's had enough power to handle anything I've thrown at it, blade changing is a snap, it's a great tool, and very durable.



People keep comparing this to a Milwaukee, IMO generally speaking Dewalt tools are not as well made as Milwaukee, but you didn't pay a Milwaukee price for this saw either, y'all get what you pay for. Yes, I have a Milwaukee sawzall which I believe is better, but this Dewalt does something the Milwaukee doesn't, the 4 blade positioning comes in extremely handy especially when needing to make flush floor cuts.



I like this saw, glad I bought it, and recommend it to anyone.

I bought this saw at Lowes and it initially sounded like a quality tool with nice features (four way clamp is a nice idea... on paper).



It worked fine for about 1h of demo work, eventually the clamp developed a problem where it would not lock the blade in horizontal position (and I needed that the most to cut close to wall without bending the blade) anymore and releasing vertical lock was sometimes a challenge as well.



The clamp also became VERY wobbly to the extent that the blade was oscillating around like crazy.



The tool was returned and Lowes rep said this is not the first time this tool was returned to them for this or similar issue with clamp.

This is a good saw for a home owner or occasional use around the yard, etc but I would not recommend it for regular use. The motor is powerful enough for most jobs, and while the 4 way blade change system is convenient, it often doesn't work. The release mechanism will only work at the beginning of the stroke so you sometimes have to slowly run the motor to just the right position to change the blade. The locking pin often locks up and has to be persuaded with a screwdriver to lock in place. this takes all of the convenience out of the quick change system. My quick change system was ruined after cutting through some slightly damp boards, which was enough to cause some surface rust to creep up on the blade change mechanism, preventing it from locking at all, I can now only change blades by taking the entire head apart, and even then it will only lock in the sideways position and not the vertical. If you are a contractor or pro, spend the extra money to invest in a heavy duty Milwaukee sawzall.

This is my first reciprocating saw and I was not disappointed. I really like the fact that the blade can be used in any position (up, down, left, right) and is very easy to change. The blade quick change system is great and easy to use, just lift the lever and insert the blade. It has a variable speed trigger. The tool is also very comfortable to hold and is not too heavy. It comes with a carrying case that allows you to store the tool with the blade inserted (you don't have to remove it). The case has plenty of room for extra storage.

I have owned this saw for two years. It has never failed. It worked PERFECTLY about 18-months ago during a horrible winter wind/rain storm. my awning was ripped from the ground and into the neighbor's yard. I had little time to secure the awning as we had wind at about 50mph gusts with 70mph+ gusts at anytime. But this bad-boy worked like a champ allowing me to cut up the awning into enough pieces to secure them until a more through job could be done.



I have cut 6x6's PT lumber, metal, wood and even cut down several medium sized fruit trees. It never has failed or made work harder.



Remember to keep a fair number of blades as they do tend to get dull or bend. This is not a fault of the saw or the blades but rather just the nature of reciprocating saws in general. I keep at least 5-blades of each type and a couple lengths. After every job I buy a few new blades. I do this because a sharp blade will help the saw work with less effort and therefore make the work easier and cleaner.



I can highly recommend this saw for a must have for any homeowner or DIY sort. You will truly wonder how ya lived w/o one. - Demolition - Reciprocating Saws - Dewalt - Sawzall'

The battery arrived and worked just fine for a couple of months, but 4 months after we purchased it, the battery would not hold a charge. We previously had the original HP battery in the laptop and that one lasted about a year and 2/3 before we needed to replace it because it could not hold a charge. We were very underwhelmed to have such a poor performing item. I will pay the extra couple of bucks to get the genuine HP product.

This battery is worthless. It won't even register when charging and loses power as soon as you unplug the laptop. Our laptop also runs much slower. I'm beginning to wonder if this was a used or defective battery. I would never recommend purchasing it from this source.

PROs: Cheap, inexpensive

CONs: Underpowered, low life expectency.





When purchasing a new battery, you MUST look at the replacement battery part number, the mw rating, voltage and laptop model. Although this device will work on for example a CQ-60 series, it will be under-powered for say a CQ-650 series which requires a 12 cell 10.8v 8800mw battery. Do NOT expect this battery to last very long--it's fine if you're desperate for a battery and are low on funds but in the long time it's better to spend more money and get one that if correct for your computer.

Works great and fits my computer perfect! I was a little nervous about buying an off brand battery for my HP laptop, but it is a perfect fit and works great! The HP battery was garbage after a year and a month and they wouldn't do anything for me under the warranty... this was a great and cost effective fix!

I got this new battery and after putting it in the computer, I did a battery check on the new battery. Which the computer stated as good not great. It holds a charge but as good as a new battery if I bought it from HP. When my old battery stated it was in a good condition, that is when I started to notice that it really started to lose it charge quick. If you don't want to spend much and dont really care about your charge time go with this one. If you want a battery that will hold it charge for a long time SPEND the $$$ and buy one from the HP.

The battery came as specified, and even earlier than expected! So far I haven't had any problems with the life of the battery. One thing I have noticed is that now when I go to turn on my laptop, it won't turn on unless I have the charger plugged in at the same time. Not sure if that's the battery's problem, or my laptop. As far as the battery goes, so far so good. - Hp Laptop - Battery - Hp Laptop Battery - 12 Cell'
