Strapless Bra - bra, lingerie


You can spend more on a strapless--but you don't need to. I'm so glad I bought this bra because I can finally wear skinny strap tank tops and all of those other cute summer shirts without worrying about my bra. It has a great minimizing effect and is fairly comfortable. I bought a band size smaller than I usually do, and it's a perfect fit. "MARILYN" Go2 Bra by Lipo in a Box Strapless Nude 36D

I've never been able to wear halter dresses or anything strapless because I'm a 34DD. Finally I can. The silicone strips and thick band really help to lift the girls and keep them put. I would recommend this product to any woman frustrated by having to wear thick sleeves to hide her bra!

To be completely honest, I really had planned to NOT post a review about my undergarments but then I decided to suck it up and post a review to help other ladies in my predicament. I mean, I relied on reviews to buy it so it was only fair to give back, right??



For starters, I purchased this bra in size 36C back in June of 2010. It had been EONS since I had owned a strapless bra. Like pre-nursing, pre-baby, pre-pregnancy type of eons ago. I'm now 39 and well, after 2 pregnancies and nursing 2 babies, the girls are now middle aged women. I immediately washed it when I received it but unfortunately was horribly disappointed when I tried it on because it didn't look like I had hoped it would. So into my lingerie drawer this Marilyn Go2 Bra went and slept for about 9 months and was forgotten about until I came across this adorable dress that I fell in love with but struggled with my bra straps. I had an AHA! Moment when I thought that I'd give Marilyn one last try before I gave her up to Goodwill. LUCKY for Marilyn, I decided to try the bra on in a different way. For you ladies who have nursed your babies and are familiar with having 'middle aged women' vs 'girls' like we did when we were younger, I HIGHLY suggest trying it on this way:



I secured the hooks in the back like I normally would but then I BENT OVER like at a 90 degree angle and repositioned the 'ladies' as I was bent over vs adjusting them while standing straight up and VIOLA!!! It was like they had a new facelift!! I loved it, they loved it, we were one big happy family!



Pros about this bra:

Granted, I've now only worn it TWICE and will update to let you know if the grippy gel like slip resistance 'stuff' still works after wearing it over the summer but as of now, this is the BEST strapless bra that I have had so far (I'm talking even better than my perky girlie days) that has NOT slipped AT ALL. The ladies are secure and snug and literally stayed in the same exact position that I put them in.



YES - although the bra has (2? 3?) layers, it is UNLINED...so there is no foamy cushion or padding to create cleavage if that's what you are looking for, adding an extra cupsize OR even preventing well, nippleage if there is a chill in the air. There IS an underwire and as of now, I DO believe that this helps tremendously in helping to give them a lift (the wire in combination with the gel like 'grip' substance INSIDE the edges of the bra that prevent it from slipping).



The ONLY downside that I can tell so far (besides being somewhat of a thin fabric in the nipple area) is that the WIRES go all the way up the edges where the armpits are.

***Keep in mind that I MAY have a wrong size for me but for the 2 times that I wore this, that dang wire has KILLED the area under my arms. I didn't notice it at first but as the day wore on, my ARMS were actually getting sore in that area that it was rubbing against. It bugged me but I loved the bra so much I ignored my arms whining about them being irritated. By the 2nd day that I wore it, I was well aware what was causing the irritation and I when I woke up the next morning - even after removing the bra overnight, I felt like I had slight burns under my arms where they rubbed while they swung while walking or rested against my body.



I DO however like how the ladies look SO MUCH in them and LOVE having a strapless bra that I don't have to readjust or pull up that I'm going to order a different color in the next size up and see if that makes a difference. If it does, I'll change my review to stress the importance of ordering the correct size to avoid your arms being poked and prodded. If the next size rubs my arms wrong, then I'll update my review and will note at the top that I have downgraded my star rating on this item to a 2 or 3 depending on how bad it is. I mean, it's all great that it doesn't fall down or move but I mean, I can't be in pain while wearing it now can I?? IF I can just get the wires not to poke my arms while wearing it, I think this would be good summer bra. I would never wear it in the winter due to the fabric being so thin. I'm onto a search for a thicker / padded strapless bra that stays up and is comfortable so if anyone knows of any, please share!!

I have a very hard time buying bras and especially strapless bras. I wear a size 36DD bra and a size 5 in pansts. So it is extremely hard finding a bra that fits. I usually get my bras from Lane Bryant and Victoria Secret, but I needed a good strapless bra. I ordered this bra in a 34DDD because I wanted a tighter band and didn't want to take chances on having to send the bra back because it wouldn't fit. Trust me for every woman that is a size D or above this is the strapless bra for you. I put the bra on convinced it wouldn't work but it did. I jumped up and down and bent over and my girls didn't move at all. Don't worry about this bra sliding down either. Everything stays in place. This is the best strapless bra ever.

I love this bra! I am sooooo happy that I paid attention to the reviews. This bra does exactly as everyone says...I am a 36dd and I hate, hate, hate strapless bras...I have spent hundreds of dollars on them and they all sucked! Until...I received the Marilyn Underology bra!! I wish I could return every useless strapless I own and buy as many of these bras with the return money...I love this bra that much. I can wear this bra with or without a strapless top...it holds me firmly in place and has good support.If you have a large breast cup..this bra is definitely for youl. - Lingerie - Underwire Bra - Bra - Bras'

16gb Flash Drive


I have been a Cruzer user for the past 3 years and, yes, I like and use U3 software. I own a 4 Gb Cruzer and decided to buy the 16 Gb to get some additional space.

Even if you use U3, or like the Cruzer, the 16 Gb version is not a great buy. It works perfect and comes with additional U3 software, but it is terribly slow.

I was appalled at the slow speed of the new drive, so I made three experiments to compare it rigorously with my former 4 Gb drive:

(1) Copying a 291 Mb RAR file from the hard-drive to the Cruzer

(2) Copying a combination of 8 main folders (with multiple sub-folders and files in them) totaling 307 Mb from the hard-drive to the Cruzer

(3) Deleting both the RAR file and the 8 folder structure from the Cruzer drive.



Here are the results:

Cruzer 4 Gb: RAR - 37 s, Folders - 1:02, Delete - 13 s

Cruzer 16 Gb: RAR - 1:06 min, Folders - 1:57 min, Delete - 27 s



So.. basically twice as slow as the 4 Gb drive, which is a pain when using the drive daily. It is up to you. All I can say is that I am currently back to using the 4 Gb Cruzer and using the 16 Gb as backup. SanDisk Cruzer 16 GB Cruzer USB 2.0 Flash Drive SDCZ36-016G-A11

I have had this device for over a month now and I have filled it over 65% already and have had no issues with speed or compatability. Worked on all platforms. I did remove the U3 SW as I prefer to use Portable Apps. I will break down the review as such:



Compatibility: I have used it on Win XP, Win Vista, Mac OS X and Windows 2000. No issues at all.



Speed: I copied 8 GB worth of data on the very first day. With write speeds around 15+ MB/s - it performed as expected. Its not the fastest but it is adequate for 99% of users.



Durability: Well, I didn't think I could say much about this except that it has worked fine daily for the last month or so. I will add that this little device did survive a full wash and dry cycle and still is chugging along. I think that speaks volumes about its durability. I know its a SSD so it should be expected to survive such things - but you don't believe it until you see/experience it.



Asthetics: It is very compact. It has an orange light that flashes when it is in action. The USB connector retracts. Simple, nothing fancy though it does have a nice look to it - what more can you ask for?



Price: This is certainly not the cheapest 16GB drive out there but with the SanDisk name behind it, it certainly is a value buy. Another plus.



I would highly recommend this product to anyone who is looking for a fast, widely compatible, durable and value USB drive that has enough space for anything you would want to put on it.



So in short- Buy It!

This product works great as a storage device for the Xbox 360. It meets all of the requirements for the 360 and performs perfectly! I have half of it set aside for my Xbox and use the other half for personal files and my PS3 save data backups as well!



There are only a couple of drawbacks. The first is the very tiny spot on the back for attaching a keychain (actually, I couldn't get a keychain to fit and instead put a cell phone lanyard with a keychain on the end on it). The second drawback is that when you have the device plugged into something there is a very bright, annoying pulsing light that emanates from the top. This can be very distracting when trying to watch Netflix movies from your Xbox.

16 gig, slide out type is great, no cap to lose. But it came with a "special" U3 program on it that I had to research on google to remove. It was not hard. A remover program was on the drive. But it took me an hour to figure all this hout.

Then it took me more time to figure out how to format this drive for NTFS since this is the best way to store files larger than 4g (like video files.) A youtube vid and google showed me how. Typical of windows this is not straightforward -- it takes a bit of looking to find the right piece of Windows that can format this drive (on XP). My regular way with Disk Management did not work.

Did not come with a cord or ring that would allow you to attach it to something.

Worked fine, I stored a 13 gig file. Did not try it on a Mac.

Got this flash drive to add some more space to my 20 GB XBox 360. Works great and I moved some downloadable content and even installed games from the actual disk just like the hard drive install. Helped with Mass Effect 2 since it uses 2 disks and I almost never play games off the disk anymore.

I purchased this Cruzer, having owned both a Cruzer Titanium and a Cruzer Micro. The Titanium and Micro are a bit more expensive (a difference of several dollars), but in my opinion they're worth the premium. Both the Cruzer Titanium and the Cruzer Micro are faster than this one. The Titanium is maybe twice as fast, while the Micro has a smaller speed advantage. In any case, Windows seems to agree: when you insert a USB drive into a computer running Windows Vista or Windows 7, it automatically does a test to determine whether the drive is fast enough for the ReadyBoost feature. Windows 7 determined that while the Titanium and the Micro were fast enough but this Cruzer was not.



The build quality on the Micro and especially the Titanium are definitely superior. The plastic on the Micro and the "liquid metal" finish on the Titanium are of a visibly higher quality. This Cruzer looks and feels cheap by comparison. The sliding mechanism on mine also failed less than a week into use, so that it's now quite difficult to extend the USB connector out of the retracted position. The Micro and Titanium have been fine after months, even years of use.



In terms of functionality, they're all the same, and they all come with U3 which can be removed.



Finally, though I did not factor this into the rating (since it's well outside what the manufacturer designed them for), I ended up leaving a Cruzer and a Cruzer Micro in the pocket of a pair of pants that ended up in the washer. I got them out before there was too much soaking, but they were both wet when I took them out. The cheap Cruzer worked right away but the Cruzer Micro did not. Several hours later, though, this had reversed: the cheap Cruzer no longer worked but the Cruzer Micro worked fine, and they have stayed that way. Might not mean anything, or might be some indication of relative quality.



Anyway, the bottom line is that you get what you pay for. I suggest that anyone looking at this drive consider paying a few dollars more for a Micro or Titanium.'

Gaming Headset - g330, headset


The Logitech Gaming Headset arrived on a cold day in january. All was lost as I was being murdered in killzone 2 and COD. Package contained adaptor and headphones. I pulled them out tweaked them with my ps3 and bang ready for action. Now to list the good stuff,



Pros:

Lightweight

Very Comfortable (Have worn them for 5 to 6 hour mark for 4 to 5 days without issue)

Wouldn't reccommend them for anything above 24 hours as you need to get a life and go do something else.

Sound Quality (I can hear A$$%#les sneak up on me now. I can hear what people say clearly.)

Adaptor for PC

Color (I like Red and if you don't then your not smart. Just kidding gees.)

Easy of use



Cons:

Wasn't sure it was working at first but that's my problem trying to figure out how to use with ps3.

Not Bluetooth (But I never have to charge it.)

Has to use 1 usb port

Sensitive mic (don't fart too loud, that will get you fragged.)

Having to actually hear people act like retards online now.

Price is a little steep.



I love these headphones more than my wolf t-shirt that brought me riches. Logitech Gaming Headset G330 (Black)

The Logitech Gaming Headset G330 is very lightweight and comfortable. Even after 8-10 hours of continuous use my ears and head are not achy or sore from the headset. I have been told the microphone is much clearer than my previous headset, which was another Logitech Behind-the-Ear headset.



The velco strap is useful to get the cord off the floor and out of the way of chair wheels. The microphone rotation is incredible. It can be placed at mouth level or rotate up and back behind the ear. This feature makes it easy to get the mic out of the way when you just use the headset as headphones. The mute button is easy to use and doesn't give the feedback my previous model did.



Bottom line..is it worth the money? Absolutely!!! Especially if you spend any amount of time wearing a headset. This model will make it seem like you aren't wearing anything. - Headset - G330 - Logitech - Headphones'

Dashboard Mount


My Prius has a rough dashboard and a windshield that slopes very sharply. Thus, the suction cup mounts are not good solutions. Fortunately, the friction mount is a great solution. It works much better than I expected. Very stable, does not slide, and lets me adjust my Nuvi to a variety of different angles. I can place the GPS anywhere on the dash or even on the center console. Also works great when transferred to my wife's Ford.



Only downside to the device is that it has a rather large footprint, but not prohibitively large. I like the fact that I can easily use this in both of our family vehicles depending on where we need the GPS.



UPDATE: Now that I have used this mount regularly since May, I have to say this is the best mounting solution I've found for a GPS or any other device for my car. It hasn't slid out of place once!! Given the rise in GPS units being stolen from cars, this mount allows you to easily stash your GPS Unit and mount out of sight and then put it back into position with ease.



2009 Update: Still using this in my Prius and my wife has one too. It's held up quite well. It IS a bit bulky to store out of the way when not in use, but still a good solution. I usually remove my GPS from the mount (a simple process) and then place the mount as far under the seat as it will go. Not perfect, but the best solution I've found to date. Garmin Portable Friction Mount

This mount works great. The selection of Garmin mounts is confusing as some are two parts and some are one. If you have a Nuvi with the included windshield mount, then this is the only part you need to buy. The included mount disassembles at the ball and socket joint and attaches to this one. I can't say it will never come off the dash if I do some really high speed maneuver, but so far it's held steady for all regular driving.



I like that it's easy to move the mount and gps unit down to the floor when I park. Yeah a thief could still see it if they came right up to my car but at least it's not obvious from halfway across the parking lot like a windshield mount is. A thief that sees an empty windshield mount is probably going to assume (correctly) that I've just put the unit in the glove compartment.

I have become addicted to my Garmin Nuvi 660 and used it for six months with a successful windshield mount. But now I have bought a new car. I discovered that the windshield suction mount left an ugly black ring on the window of my old car. (I assume I can get this cleaned up when I detail the car for selling.)



So no way was I going to put one of those on my beautiful new car. I tried the Garmin dashboard mount but shied away from the "permanent" disc. I found the "temporary" disc was just not up to the job of holding this device in place -- at least on my vehicle. I found this very frustrating. I read about the Portable Friction Mount, found a Best Buy store that had it in stock and ran out to buy it.



Though it is not terribly good looking, it does the job very well. I tried whipping around a few tight turns in parking lots and the whole thing stayed put. As another reviewer said, this lets you easily remove the thing and put it on the floor so it's not obvious. That may be more valuable than you would think. I know somebody who removed his Garmin Nuvi (and took it with him) but left the window mount in place. The car was broken into and the window mount alone was stolen. (Probably that was a pretty frustrated thief.)



Also, this will be easy to transfer to a rental car. And it will make it easy for my wife to borrow my Nuvi. Hmmm!

While the friction mount on the bottom of the beanbag is pretty darn stable even with stops, starts, and turns I sometimes would find it sliding across the dash. The solution has been to use one of those little 6x4 inch mats sold at Radio Shack or Walmart for keeping cellphones on the dash. The mat is sticky on one side but leaves no marks or glue. I have not had one slide since using the mat. I even bring the mat with me in rental cars. This gives a very secure mount that is very easy to take from car to car.

The first time I tried this mount was in a rental car for a Garmin C530, and I never thought it would stay on the slightly sloping dash of the Pontiac Grand Prix but it held firm going up and down San Francisco's hilly roads. That prompted me to buy one for my car. Essentially this mount is a bean bag with a mouse pad like rubber base but its engineered to stay where you put it and not slide around unless you move it. The good thing is that it stays put even if you brake suddenly, and if you drive in bumper to bumper rush hour traffic like me every day you'll appreciate this even more!



The advantages are:

- No sticking on windshield. This is a BIG advantage as the windshield mount starts to come off easily after a year of usage, less if you leave it in your car while it's parked in the sun. There is nothing worse than your GPS sliding off while you're driving round a tricky bend, especially if you are new to the area. Sometimes it can be downright dangerous.

- The windshield mount also alerts thieves that a GPS is in the car. A friction mount can be placed down under the car seat when you leave the car without needing to disconnect anything so that you're ready to go quickly when you come back to the car.

- The other big advantage is the ability to move it around to the position you want it. If a passenger is sitting in your car you can just slide it to their side and they can input the information while you are driving. It also makes it easy to slide it closer to yourself. Since I have the Nuvi 660 I often make calls with the bluetooth feature while driving, it is easy to slide it towards me when I am speaking to someone in order to get better voice reception.



This mount works for all Nuvis as they have the "snap the ball in the joint". If you buy any model of Nuvi then this is all you need, no other adapter parts are needed. It's also easy to switch this mount between cars or move it to a rental car when you travel. It has been the best and most useful accessory I could buy for my Nuvi 660.'

Extension Cord Outlet Travel - travel, road warrior


This is one compact and useful power strip. I bought this power strip based on all the positive reviews I read on this site. I bought it for carrying it on my India trip. I am currently using the power strip for charging my laptop (100-240 V adapter). I'm using it with the Belkin F8E449 Universal AC Travel Adapter in India (with 220 Volt outlets). The blue light faded after a few days, but I wouldn't care less, because otherwise it seems to work very well. It has 4 outlets that are spaced wide apart even to accommodate bulky adapters. It also has a built-in circuit-breaker with a reset button. It does not have an ON/OFF switch but I didn't need one for my kind of use. The build quality is excellent, and the cord is heavy duty. It is light and the foot long cord wraps around and fits nicely into any laptop bag. I would strongly recommend this for all travelers (domestic or international). Monster MP OTG400 BK Outlets To Go 4 Outlet Travel Power Strip (Black)

It's 6" long with a 12" power cord that wraps around the length of the outside and plugs into one of the four outlets for travel. Sturdy and compact, small enough to fit easily in any kind of bag. It was perfect for our trip to France where we needed multiple outlets on one adapter to charge batteries for our cameras.

I am a road warrior and this little outlet is invaluable for my travels and enables me to quickly power up in hotel rooms without enough outlets. I have a PC, Blackberry, iPod and always need juice. Also, a KEY benefit if for international travelers--this allows you to charge up to four US devices off of one adapter! My colleagues are jealous of me. Fits easily in to my satchel. Buy one today!

The OTG400 was intelligently designed by someone who knows that battery charging bricks need more space around each plug. The short power cord keeps packing space minimal. The only problem is that the plug is grounded and most plug adaptors designed for abroad are made to fit on two prong plugs. So either find plug adaptors for grounded plugs or just run to Radio Shack and buy a grounded to two prong adaptor.



But don't let this small inconvenience stop you from buying this product, you'll use it everytime you travel.

I travel overseas a lot for my job. This little power strip is compact and enables you to keep ONE adapter on the end of it to plug into the funky wall plug and then use your "normal" plugs for operating four devices. Most Monster products are terribly overpriced and not worth the money (wires, cables, etc.) but this gizmo rocks!

I picked this up to use on a Mediterranean cruise since the outlets in cruise ship cabins are scarce and usually located right at the edge of a vanity. It worked great for charging 2 digital camera batteries which wouldn't fit in the normal outlet at the same time. It's small, rugged and light so it's easy to pack.

I bought this power strip for my study abroad in the UK a month ago. It won't convert voltage, but it works very well when you plug in US plugs that have adapters that allow UK voltages (240V).



My current set up: an international power adapter into the UK plug -> Monster power strip into adapter -> laptop, external hard drives, phone charger, USB charger into power strip. All the electronics that are plugged into the power strip have voltage adapters that can take power input between 100 to 240 V AC.



So far, after a month of use, I have not had any problems. I will post an update to this review only if I do encounter problems in the future.

One of the best travel accessories I have ever purchased. I live in Sweden and use the outlet on a daily basis. I plug all my 220 friendly items (computers, cameras) into it and it works perfectly. Buy this adaptor with it:All in One Universal Travel Power Adapter for US, UK, EU, AU

This surge protector does what it is supposed to and is very portable. The build quality is great; unlike other units it doesn't come unplugged easily. it also has a nice blue light indicating it is on.



There are only 2 drawbacks; it doesn't have an on/off switch and doesn't have covers for the unused sockets. Other than those minor issues it has preformed great in the UK with 3 different adapters! - Travel Power Strip - Extension Cord Outlet Travel - Road Warrior - Travel'

Sound Isolating - baby, ear muffs


My 4 1/2 week old daughter used these when we flew in a 4 seat Piper Commanche airplane. She tolerated them very well and slept the entire 3 1/2 hour flight. I would recommend them for even very young infants.

I purchased these "earmuffs" for my 5 year old prior to taking him to a "Walk with the Dinosaurs" show. It was very loud at times and my son was greatful for the earmuffs! We also used them in Disney World on a few rides and all the stunt shows and night shows (Indiana Jones Stunt show, fireworks, fantasmic, etc). I don't think my son would have enjoyed everything without having these on, as he does not like loud noises! I have been asked a lot where we got them. These are a definite must have for any kids!

My noise-sensitive 5 YO son with Asperger's used these at a concert soon after we bought them, very helpful! I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 because I wish they were more portable (foldable, or something), but they must have been comfortable or he would not have tolerated them.

These are fully adjustable! Don't listen to the other reviews that say this product is not adjustable. Those users do not know how to use the adjustable headband. It adjusts at the ear cup, I can adjust them so that I could use them in a pinch. My 3 year old loves the pink pair, and I bought a blue pair for my 5 year old. There are fireworks set off near our house 5 - 6 times a year, and these will be great for the kids to watch, and not be scared about the loud noise. This product is a A+.

Thank you so much to everyone who said that these do enlarge to fit bigger size heads, despite the negative reviews about size from other people who couldn't figure out how to use the product.



These headphones fit my 27 year old 6'1" male head, just as well as they fit my less than 5 month old daughter's head. We put them on her, and she started laughing and giggling (one of the first times she has ever done that). I extended them to their largest size, and they went right on my head (and my wife's head) just fine.



DO NOT LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO SAID THEY DON'T FIT LARGER HEADS. These people simply did not know how to use the product.



Now, my daughter will be able to enjoy her first San Jose Sharks game, and it's the season opener, so it will be very loud!

When I found out my husband was going to be completing in a three gun match I started the hunt for earmuffs for our two month old. I found these and they worked great! My little guy slept in the BABYBJÖRN Baby Carrier Original - City Black most of the day with these earmuffs securely on his ears. He slept through the handgun stage, shot gun stage, and the rifle/AR-15 stage. They were wonderful. AND he looked so cute!!! He was stylin', everyone asked about them.

My 3 year old daughter has very sensitive hearing. She is frightened by noisy things like the lawn mower, guns, fireworks, chainsaw, anything loud. These headphones have worked like a charm. They fit her well and she really enjoyed the fireworks and doesn't mind going outside when the lawn is being mowed as long as she has them on. I'm so happy she got to really enjoy the fireworks this year (Last year we spent the evening cowering in the back bedroom).

We recently went to a Coldplay concert and took our 4 small children with us (ages 8, 5, 3 and 11 months). We had never done anything like this before and didn't want to take any chances, so we purchased these earmuffs for all of our kids. They worked wonderfully from the oldest to the youngest! Even my infant left hers on and slept through most of the concert. They were a huge hit. And cute to boot...we received a ton of compliments that night. Thanks Amazon! My oldest still likes to wear hers around the house sometimes when she needs some "quiet time".

We bought these for our sound sensitive 3yo daughter. She loves them. She used to get very upset when we vacuumed, used a blender or ran a hair dryer. Now, she just grabs these, puts them on herself, and we can use whatever appliances we need to with out all the drama we used to see. She really likes them! - Ear Muffs - Peltor - Ear Protection - Baby'

Gps Carrying Case


Nice little case for the price. It holds my Garmin 265WT very nicely with its snap-on swivel adapter still attached. The exterior vinyl case is very stiff to mitigate the potential of crushing damage to the GPS. The interior of the case is lined with fabric to minimize scratching damage. The case zipper works fine. And it comes with a little carry strap too. Again, very nice for the price. 4.3" EVA Case for Garmin Nuvi 265wt 1300 1350 1370t GPS

The EVA case is a perfect fit for my nüvi 765T even though the product title says it's for the nüvi 265WT, 1300, 1350, and 1370T. The hard exterior provides very good protection for my nüvi. Its interior is lined with a velvety fabric that won't scratch the nüvi.



I love that it's so compact -- it's not very much bigger than my nüvi (which measures 4.8 x 0.8 x 3 inches). It is a sturdy, well-made, and high quality case. I couldn't be more happy with it. Recommended.

This a perfect, rugged case to stow my GPS in purse, backpack, or luggage. It also has extra pockets for memory cards & charging cords that makes this case a perfect fit. It reminds me of my metallic-looking hard side suitcases.

I am so glad I went ahead and purchased this case for my new Garmin GPS. I have been able to keep my GPS stored safely when not in use and protected from the elements. I do not ever leave my GPS in the car when not driving due to the fact that I have heard they are a hot item for thieves. Therefore having the protective case, which is extremely durable, has been a wise investment.

The case is sturdy, but a bit big for the Garmen Nuvi 1390T, which is same size as 1370T. I bought the case so I could carry the GPS with me, and space is at a premium, so I have ended up putting this case in the drawer and buying a different one.'

Touchstone - covers, touchstone


Seemingly like many other Pixi owners, I was disappointed with the original black case that came with the phone. It started to fall apart almost immediately. The Touchstone case appears and feels more sturdy than that original case. Upon the advice of other reviews, I also purchased the Touchstone docking station to avoid the travesty of the little magnet falling off a second time. Palm Pixi Touchtone Back Cover(Pink)

Works great! My fiance loves that we can now tell the difference between our two phones, thanks to the hot pink cover. She also loves the charging feature without having to plug directly into the phone!

great back cover for Palm Pixi phone. It almost looks like a case because of it suede like material. An added plus is the pink color, it looks great except people want to pull the phone out of it's 'case' when in fact it's a back cover!! And end up damaging the BACK COVER of my phone. This purchase was a replacement to my original black back cover...

I purchased this as a replacemnet for the stock cover that came with my Pixi which was coming apart. The cover came quickly and is very attractive but after less than two weeks use, the magnetic flap over the charger port has broken off the same way my old one did. - Touchstone - Palm Pixi - Case - Covers'

Ipad 2g Accessories - ipad 2 accessories, ipad 2 cases


Like others, I was looking for a case to cover the back and still be able to use the Apple Smartcover for my iPad 2. Following the advice of J. Acton I was able to fairly easily modify the case by making two notches for the Smartcover hinges. Now the back won't get scratched and the Smartcover still works great - almost better now because the Smartcover is now held more securely to the iPad. splash VAPOR Slim-Fit Flex Case for Apple iPad 2 2G 2nd Generation (BLACK)

I'm using this case until I get a more durable case like the otterbox or gum drop case as I am in the military and would need some additional protection to make sure my $600 purchase doesn't get ruined. The case fits great on the iPad 2 and works well with the screen protector from the same company. To me, it doesn't add too much weight and the addiitional grip on the side are a nice touch. I will keep this case on in the house or office, but if I'm out in the field, I will definitely need som more protection.

This Splash cover is excellent for protecting the back and edges of the iPad2. All of the cutouts (power and sound buttons, cameras, headphone jack, speakers) line up perfectly so you don't have to fumble with the cover when adjusting the volume or whatnot. I wondered whether the cover would dull the volume, but it does not. I purchased the black cover and it is a bit opaque in the middle so you can see the Apple logo. I find it to be sharp and attractive, especially since I have the black model of the iPad2. The fit is very snug--in fact, I struggled a little to put it on. Once on, it does not shift. It is smooth in my hands and does not add bulk to the iPad2. The cover makes about a quarter-inch border so if you do not want a case to cover your black or white screen frame, this Splash one does not. I have noticed that dust or dirt particles can get trapped under the cover. I am contemplating buying the screen protectors offered by the same company to eliminate this minor issue.



I want to protect my iPad2 and keep it looking new. I do not care for the Apple SmartCover and prefer this type of protection instead. I purchased the SimpleSleeve ([...]) as well. The Splash cover along with the SimpleSleeve give me peace of mind that my iPad2 will be safe from scratches, dents, dings, etc. I highly and happily recommend both products.

When I picked this cover up, noticed that it was a "nice and snug fit". This cover, along with the anti-glare screen savor makes it an excellent protective shield. So much so that I really went crazy and put it in a leather "pouch/portfolio" with the cover on and it fits 98% perfectly. So, if I want to take it out and use it "bare bones" with the skin only, which has a nice feel to it, I do so with perfect ease of mind. When I want to keep it in the portfolio and use it, I do so, as when it stands on various angles, the potential of it falling and getting damaged is grossly minimized. why? It has the skin on it and the anti-glare screen up front.



All in all a great purchase, and I highly recommend it to everybody interested in protecting this high value product.



Enjoy!

I originally ordered a leather case for my iPad 2, but it added bulk. I purchased this item and found this to work very well. I had read the reviews saying you would need to cut for the smart cover; I did what was recommended and I am very happy it protects

And doesn't add bulk.

When I picked up my iPad 2 I knew that I needed a case to protect the back from scratches. When I found this product, and saw that a simple "hack" could make it compatible with the smart cover, I immediately ordered one. After reading a few of the helpful tips and tricks to cutting the cover right, I started on mine. I put my smart cover on, and then put the case on so I could mark where I needed to make my cuts. I initially cut it right to the bottom of the hinges of the smart cover, but realized that I need to cut it a bit lower. This is so the smart cover can be folded back easily, and also function as a stand without a problem.



I would definitely recommend this cover if you're willing to do a little work on your end to make it smart cover compatible. I would also suggest taking your time when cutting and measuring to insure a nice cut.

I purchased this because I wanted a back protector with my iPad 2 that works with the SmartCover. This fits perfectly and doesn't add noticeably to the size/weight profile of the iPad 2. It meshes seamlessly with my SmartCover and exactly matches the shade and tone. The SmartCover folds completely back over the case. In other words, it's basically like the case isn't there, but it thankfully protects the back of my iPad and negates the worrisome slickness while holding it. Couldn't be more pleased.

I recently upgraded from the iPad1 to the iPad2. I had used the Macally Metrolpad for the iPad1 and it worked fine for a year but I found it to be a bit too slippery and the grip was a tad too stiff. When I went searching for a replacement case I read a review for the iKit and thought it would be a good fit and Macally didn't have a comparable model yet. After waiting 2 weeks for the iKit to deliver and getting no response from iKit I went searching and read reviews of the VAPOR case on Amazon.com and decided to give it a try. I received the case within days and found it to be perfect for my needs. I got the black version which is translucent enough to allow the "apple" to be somewhat visible through the cover and I found the grip to be just right. One week later I finally received the iKit and decided to try it for comparison and within minutes of putting it on my iPad, I had it off and the Vapor back on. The grip is way too loose and is very noticeable every time I pick it up. I would not hesitate to recommend this case and I now have a slightly used iKit that I would love to sell cheap! - Ipad 2 Cases - Ipad 2 Cover - Ipad 2 Accessories - Ipad 2 Screen Protector'

Internet Postage - ink jet labels, avery


Ace brand 200 Half Sheet Laser/Ink Jet Shipping Labels



These labels are the same size as Avery® 5126 labels.



Here's a comparison between the Ace and Avery brands:



- Whiteness. Avery labels are much whiter.



- Thickness. Avery labels are thicker and as a result, there is less "bleed-through". I.e., that's when you can see printing or graphics that were on the thing the label is on, through the label. Although there is more bleed-through with Ace, they are good enough for shipping labels.



- Feeding through a printer. We've not had problems with either brand with our ancient HP Laser Jet 4, and my wife has printed hundreds of labels (eBay sales).



- Front vs. back. Avery prints a pattern on the peel-off back, so it's easy to tell which side is which. With the Ace labels, the texture and color is so close from front to back, it's not obvious which is which. The trick is to slightly bend a full label sheet just a little each way to find the side with a split seam; which is the label side. The other side is the peel-off backing and has no seam.



- Peeling the label off its wax-paper backing. Avery is easier, but it's not difficult with the Ace brand.



- Printing quality. Both brands of labels print uniformly with the lettering coming out clear, bold and solid.



- Sticking. Both brands of labels are sufficiently sticky to adhere well to packaging material, whether it be paper, tyvek, or poly.



- Recycled materials. Ace labels use recycled materials. Avery does not.



- Cost. The first time we bought the Ace brand, they were 1/4 the cost of the Avery labels. Their price has gone up a bit since then, but they still cost a lot less than Avery 5126 labels.



Summary:



Avery 5126 labels are better quality, but the Ace brand is more than good enough for shipping labels. If you want the best labels, buy Avery. If you want the best value, buy Ace.



Three stars for the quality of Ace labels; an extra star for value. White All-Purpose Labels, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, 200/Box

You do NOT want to place these labels over existing labels or markings on your package or envelope. They WILL show through! Not as easy as Avery to peel off the backing. Good value by virtue of the number of labels you receive for the price.

I bought these labels because I think labels are a commodity...and they are. These labels worked just fine and I couldn't even tell the difference. I use these labels for USPS Click-N-Ship and Paypal why should I pay a lot more for labels when I send them away to other people anyways. The lowest I saw was for $12 and they have free shipping through Amazon.

It's hard to tell which brands are good and which aren't when it comes to third party brands. I bought a similar pack of 1000 recycled shipping labels and they were poor quality.



These, however, are very nice! Very good sticking power, and they feel nice and thick like paper should. Not thin and easily rip-able. I'm hoping that all of the future labels are as nice in quality.

These labels are great, especially when compared to the super cheap ones I purchased a year ago. After that experience I was a little leary to take the dive again, but since everything has gone up in price I could pass up the economical price of these labels. One key thing I learned to guarantee you are getting what is described and a quality product buy from a Fullfilled-by-Amazon (FBA) seller. This does two things: 1) it guarantees your purchase under Amazon policies, and 2) if you have an issue you deal directly with Amazon for returns. I purchased my labels through The Success Store, and recieved great quality white labels in a box, not a stack of labels wrapped in plastic wrap. They are sticky, the stay on my packages, and most importantly print well in both a laser and ink jet printer.



For first time buyers, be aware these are not like the Avery labels where you peel them out of their nice pre-cut shell and they fit nicely on your package. These are full page labels that may or may not require some trimming. This is not a deal breaker for me as I'd rather have the bulk labels at a bulk rate price. Besides as one reviewer noted, your buyers are buying your product not the pretty label you put on the package. Ultimately these labels work and work well. Will be buying more soon!

I purchased these for book shipments and they don't stick very well to my Kraft Bubble Mailers. I have to put a strip of tape over the label because I'm nervous that they won't make it in the mail to the destination. I also find that they are quite thin and because the peel off backing is white, I sometimes load them upside down in my printer.

I've been using these for a while for USPS, UPS, and FedEx... They've done the trick so far. At work I have an Inkjet printer in my office, at home an HP monochrome laser...



They stick fine to the packaging, however, once you peel up a corner they're very easy to remove (without tearing)... so that may say something about the quality of the adhesive, but I've had no problems.



In regards to the thickness and transparency... I re-use boxes and frequently place the label over an old one and have never noticed the lack of opacity or had to double-up... Or if I have, it was not enough to be concerned and remember.

After spending a fortune and a ton of time taping down printed USPS mailing labels, this was an awesome and inexpensive solution. Yes, the paper is somewhat thin, but I have not had one problem with it. I have put it over writing, and have had no problem with things showing through, but nothing too extensively marked up to give an opinion on that. Very easy to peel, has not jammed my printer once, I even put it back through the printer when I have used and removed one of the labels. Such an inexpensive and perfectly efficient alternative. - Mailing Labels - Ink Jet Labels - Postal - Avery'

Kindle 2 Protection - kindle, belkin


Does what it's supposed to do and looks fine too. With the Kindle 2 being so sexily slim, I didn't want to stick it semi-permanently into a book-cover type case that would more than double its bulk while it's in use. ("Does this case make my Kindle look fat?") And neither did I want to pay $40 or $100 (!!!??!?) for the Patagonia or Cole Haan sleeve case. So I went with the Belkin and I'm happy with it. The soft neoprene plus a layer of leather should give my Kindle all the protection it needs. Belkin Neoprene Kindle Case (Fits 6" Display, 2nd Generation Kindle)

Though it is exactly what it claims to be (though it really does smell like the other reviews claim), I've compared this to the more expensive patagonia and like the patagonia much better, even for the price. I thought I would use the Kindle naked, but the patagonia offers me the flexibility to use it both ways and after nearly dropping the kindle when someone bumped into me at the airport, i decided that the extra protection while I'm reading is worth the price.

I wanted a padded neoprene sleeve for my Kindle, and this one looked pretty sharp and was from a trusted company, and the price was right, so I ordered it. I didn't want the Amazon cover because it attaches to the kindle, and I like holding and using my electronics without any bulky additional add-ons.



I gotta say, it easily surpassed my expectations. The build quality is perfect. The design is excellent. Two zippers allow you to slide the Kindle out for use quickly and easily. The faux leather sort of reminds me of a journal cover, which is cool.



The padding is excellent. They have even run a strip of neoprene on either side of the zipper on the inside so when you zip it shut, the Kindle itself is padded against the zipper closure, thus providing full coverage padding even if it's dropped on edge.



All in all, a nice Kindle case, although I have nothing to compare it against, but if you want a simple protective sleeve to carry your Kindle around in, you'll be satisfied with this.

I was hoping my Kindle 2 would fit into the cover that came with my original Kindle (now being referred to everywhere as "the Kindle 1"), but the K2 is just a tad taller, so it's an awkward fit. However, I did learn while using the K1 that I needed to remove it from the cover to use it comfortably. Because the K1 had a rubber backing, it sat on my raised knee when I crossed my legs without slipping (a good reading distance for me). The K2 has a shiny metalic backing and requires that you hold it securely if you don't want to see your $359 investment go toboganning to the floor. This cover is little more than a padded envelope with a zipper closure across the top and one side and is adequate for protecting your Kindle when you place it inside your backpack or purse. What I like about it is that the rubber (?) padding on both sides makes it possible to use it as a support in your lap while reading. Slippage problem solved!

Nice padding, sturdy zippers, this case (not a cover) provides great protection *all around* in a bag or purse.



Please note: it does NOT accommodate the kindle with the cover on (it's too small) as some have asked.

This is a great case, for a great price. It has everything I need to keep my Kindle secure. I didn't want a book jacket-type case that doesn't clasp closed. I wanted something to hold it securely, something that zips, ensuring there will be no chance for it to fall out, or come loose. This is just the case for the job! Soft material, not to too big and clunky...a great choice that I'm very pleased with and absolutely recommend!

I just got this, the Kindle fits snugly and properly protects it. This is a good deal at the price. There are others at twice and three times the price I have no idea what they could offer that would justify the difference

This case has all the right parts except a good zipper. The size is right, the padding is right but the zipper leaves much to be desired. The zipper size is too small--the zipper teeth that is, and because the kindle fits snugly in the case there is a small amount of strain on the zipper. Unfortunately, the teeth separate when you try to zip the case closed so that you end up with gaps where the teeth didn't engage, or simply a failed zipper. Unless the zipper is replaced with a higher quality zipper, or the case is slightly larger so there's no strain on the current zipper I cannot recommend this case!

The Belkin sleeve does what its supposed to do, which is protect my Kindle 2. Nothing fancy about it. I wasnt a fan of the original Kindle's case so I opted for something that it just slides in and out of. - Kindle - Belkin - Kindle 2 Case - Kindle 2 Protection'

Good Controller


The Komodo Shockwave Wireless controller for Wii and Gamecube does everything it says it will. It's wireless, has all the standard Gamecube controls, and it's cheap. It works well with the Wii, I can't attest to the Gamecube. It's not licensed by Nintendo, but that doesn't make it bad, it just means that the manufacturer didn't fork over a bunch of cash to Nintendo to use their logo. That is why it's cheap.



I used the controller and one set of generic batteries to play all the way through The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker with 100% completion (having never played it before, I had to explore to get everything). The LED started flashing just before finishing, this indicator means the batteries are getting lower and rumble features can't be maintained but the controls themselves lasted through Ganondorf's end. Personally I considered it to be fair battery life considering the length of Zelda games and how many mini games there are to perfect.



There is one flaw. I have never played a Gamecube before so I can't compare to the original, but compared to my XBOX 360 controller the analog stick is just a little hyper sensitive. This is especially annoying when trying to aim the bow, boomerang, grappling hook or hook shot in Wind Waker. It's not to a point that it is unusable. It does adds an extra challenge, especially when aiming the tools quickly and accurately is important such as boss fights.



All in all it it's a pretty good product for the price, well worth it if you are only looking at catching up on a few Gamecube games you missed while you were off playing the last generation's top selling console. Komodo Shockwave Wireless White Controller for Wii and Gamecube

I really like this controller. It has a rumble feature that is good. You have to watch the red led, when it starts flashing, the rumble feature goes away but you can still use the controller (just no rumble) I would recommend this controller to y'all.'

Iphone Fm Transmitter - iphone fm transmitter, ipod charger


It doesn't work at all with my Verizon iPhone 4, but works great for my neice's iPod Touch. Support for this suggested I trim off parts of the product to help it power up. And then I could never even name that tune when it tried to transmit to my radio. I lost $5 selling it to my neice. FM1800 premium car mount system for Iphone 4G/3GS/3G, ipod touch / nano / classic with enhanced fm transmitter for music streaming and handsfree calling

I bought this thinking it was a great idea to have a handsfree for my iPhone. It worked the first time I used it. Forget about using it as a handsfree device though, as soon as you plug the cord into the headphone socket and into the device the radio frequency drops out, you have to jiggle the cable to actually hear anything. The 2nd time I tried to use it the device kept turning the iphone on and off. The radio transmitter didn't work. So lets just say it's an absolute waste of time. If your looking for something that works then look elsewhere. This is a piece of junk!

This is a nice fm transmitter with charging and handsfree functionality all bundled in. It seems to be a different branded version of FlexPod X2 Premium Car Mount System with Auto-Seek Signal Intensifying FM Transmitter & Charger for Apple iPhone 3G / 3GS / iPod / Touch / Nano / Classic - MAX-Stability DC Mounting Design - so I will not repeat what has already been covered in the reviews for that product.



I have been using it for the last 2 weeks and have saved 4 frequencies that work in our city. With just press of a button, one can change to a free frequency as soon as some noise starts creeping in which is unavoidable in a dense city like seattle.



Overall installation was a breeze, just put the 2 pieces together and plug it into the car jack. I can see how Iphone 3G/3GS users can have slight problems with thick cases but Iphone 4G was a nice fit. The back adjuster knob is a nice addition that securely holds the phone.



For handsfree calling, simply plug the included 3.5 cable into iphone and the mount and done. The music pauses when the call comes in. The voice quality is superb - make sure that the iphone mic is not too far from you.



Overall, I love this device. A++.

I tried this in two different cars and it did not work. It would not even illuminate. Yes, I had the key turned on and pressed the on/off switch. The poorly translated instructions referred to replacing a fuse, but there was no fuse to be found on the unit.

I have spent threes times as much for other fm transmitters. Love this one for the price!!! Only down side is I can't dock my iPhone properly with any type of thick case. The case won't allow a connection.

I have owned this accessory for about 2 months now. It worked OK for about a week. After the first week my iphone started telling me that this unit was not compatible with my Iphone but would still charge and allowed me to play music though the wireless transmitter. About 2 weeks later the wireless transmitter would just start shutting off whenever it wanted to even though there was still power to the unit. I figured fine, it still charges I'll just use the audio jack for tunes. Worked for about a week and then when I would plug my phone into the cradle and try to play music phone would say no volume available, even though wireless transmitter was off. I said OK, guess its just a charger now and I'll just have to sit my phone in the cup holder to play tunes. Week later...yellow warning symbol appears on phone when I plug it into to charge it. Tells me charger is not compatible and will not work with phone.



Now nothing works on it. Tried it with another iphone and it is not the phones. This was a waste of money. I bought this retail at a Fry's and paid $60 for it. I'd set 60 on fire before I bought another.

After returning two different FM transmitters I purchased from my local electronics store for poor radio quality, I purchased the AT1500 from Amazon. It by far has the best sound quality of any FM transmitter I have ever owned. I really don't even notice I'm using an FM transmitter. I have set it to one station and never had to adjust it since. I drive over 150 miles per day in the Metro Detroit area and surrounding suburbs without having any interference from other stations. This product just works great. Well worth the money. - Iphone Fm Transmitter - Fm Transmitter - Car Kit - Ipod Charger'
