Argyle - case, amzer


I've only had this case for a few hours so I can't speak to the durability of the material or the longevity of the fit. What I can share are initial impressions.



1. This case looks great! I really like the way the argyle looks on the back. It is subtle -- not in your face.

2. The case feels like any other rubberized case. Nothing really to note here. (I don't think it feels slippery or anything negative like that)

3. The case fits the phone well. It is a bit of a tight squeeze when putting it on the phone but once it is on, the phone feels securely in the case. Initially, the sides appeared to "puff" out a little -- not exactly sit flush with the phone. But I just had to simply squeeze the sides of the case to fully install it on the phone. Problem solved.

4. Structurally, there are cut outs for everything you'd expect: the headphone jack, usb charging slot, the kickstand, the microphone (bottom of phone) and camera/flash. All buttons are covered by raised rubber and are easily pushed/accessed. Also, this case has not caused any issues inserting a micro usb cable or a headphone jack into their respective slots.



So -- in short: So far so good. I think this case is a keeper for sure!



Side notes in case anyone was wondering:

1. this case does not fit the phone with the 2750 mAh extended battery.

2. I don't have a dock (they're not out yet), so I don't know if this case is compatible with them. Amzer Luxe Argyle High Gloss TPU Soft Gel Skin Case for HTC ThunderBolt ADR6400 - Smoke Grey

I wanted the sedio surface hard case, like I had for my Incredible, but it's backordered. I was afraid of leaving it coverless and damaging it, but didn't want to pay a lot since I was planning on spending much more on the seidio case. I thought this would be good to hold me over, but honestly I may just stick with this one now. It's perfect - easy on easy off gel case, doesn't add a lot of bulk, and really does look good. The pattern is subtle. Can't beat it for the price!

Wanted a cheap case for my T-Bolt. This cover goes above and beyond what I was expecting. Very cool design, slender, offers great protection, and has a grippy texture to keep it from sliding around on any surface. Highly recommend!!

I like the case. It's actually somewhat translucent but that works well. I enjoy how the logo shines through.



It fits snugly and doesn't seem to add too much unneeded bulk.



Only real downside is that my microusb doesn't fit as "tight" as I'd like due to the added width and hole cutout shape. I wish it'd fit more cleanly through the hole but this doesn't stop it from charging in any way.



Wasn't many choices when I got my TBOLT but honestly this still is a better case than any I've seen elsewhere so far... including brick and mortar stores like bestbuy.

This is a great thin case, material is shiny but really not slippery. Has a nice soft feel to it. Will protect against scratches but not designed to do much if the phone is dropped. Recommend buying a screen protector as well to keep that from getting scratched.



This case should hold up well until Otterbox releases a case for the Thunderbolt (protects against dropping)

I am pleasantly surprised so far with my smoke grey argyle amzer case. It looks great on the phone, it slips into my leather Verizon pouch (that was made for a droid x), and it is a hard shiny rubber that doesn't pick up lint, however it will not slide on a slick surface. REALLY COOL CASE!!! Much better than silicone cases!!!



Equipment:

HTC Thunderbolt

Generic 3-pack Crystal Clear Screen Protectors

Amzer Luxe Argyle High Gloss TPU Gel Skin Case

Verizon Leather Droid X Pouch/belt clip



***AWESOME COMBINATION***

After trying and returning several cases this is the only keeper. All the others I tried made my phone feel to bulky where as this one creates a snug fit without too much extra. It's easy to take on and off but it doesn't slip off unwanted. It's a soft smooth gel which allows for putting it into my pocket easy. One thing i really love is the minimal raised edge on the front which allows me to lay the phone on it's face with out the screen getting scratched up. The only problem I've had is with a 3rd party charger, the plug casing is a little on the bigger side and the case can sometimes stop the plug from going in all the way, but it works fine with the manufacturer charger. I also don't think this would protect the phone very well if it fell from a high distance, but I've dropped mine a couple times and it's been fine.

Overall, it seems to do it's job decently - I have yet to damage my phone. Unfortunately, there seem to be some flaws that are leading me to think that maybe a different case would be better for me. This one is really easy to put on, since the material is flexible and stretches. Too bad that means it comes off more easily than I would like as well. The material is also kind of a hard rubbery material, so it doesn't slide if you put it on your desk or a table, but it also doesn't slide into your pocket very well. Not bad, but not great. - Case - Argyle - Amzer'

Cassette Digital Tape Convert - cassette digital tape convert, ion


Starting with caveats first:



1) The cassette door's hinge is on the short side. Laws of physics would tell you - it's easier to break it. Handle with extra care.

2) The player has no speakers.

3) The battery compartment opening is inside the unit (which is very unusual). It is difficult to open since the main door doesn't open too much to leave space for you to pull the battery door. So if you have a big hand, you may crack the main door's hinge. Again, be very careful.

4) The output power is less than usual. It doesn't play loud at all. This would make sense when you're transferring tape to computer (high volume = distortion), but it may not be so good for typical listening.



The good:

1) This unit could be USB powered. Wow!

2) The unit has USB output to computer for audio capturing.

3) The software included support both Windows and MacOSX



Tip:

Due to the low power output, the audio capture must be amplified. One easy tool is Audacity. Typically, you need to amplify it to N minus 2 decibel (e.g., if Audacity's amplify option suggests 11db, you enter 9; if it suggests 6, you enter 4), then choose bass boost option (use Audacity's default). 95% of the time the results would be very loud playback capability with great mid-bass and bass, without distortion. Ion Audio USB Portable Tape-to-MP3 Player with Headphones

After reading some of the reviews, you would swear that this was a piece of junk, however it was exactly what I needed to get these old recordings off of tape and into my iTunes! Granted, the player is made of plastic (chromed plastic). It's not something you'd want to abuse or tote around with you, but sitting on my desk it does the job it is intended to do. I just transferred a 20 year old musical recording of a friend of mine and now it's off of that old tape and into my system where I can back it up for the future.



If you're looking for a cheap way to turn your tapes into MP3s, this is a great way to go. It was super simple. I loaded the software in about 2 minutes, plugged it into my Mac's USB port and pressed record and play...It's as easy as that! The only drawback is that if you want to separate your tape into separate songs, you do have to sit through the song and press "new track" on your screen. Otherwise, it's pretty great. If you want a super high-end system, this isn't it, but I'm very satisfied with my results so far.

I spent several hours trying to copy a tape to my HD using the software that came with this unit. It was a NIGHTMARE!



First of all, the software REQUIRES that you download and install iTunes (200+Mb.) or IT WILL NOT RUN. Second, the ion software lets you input the artist and titles, then switches you to iTunes where all the titles and artist info disappears. Thirdly, you can not go back to a previous screen without losing everything.



The iTunes requirement was not divulged in the item description, in the advertising or on the box. This would be a deal-breaker for me if I had not purchased it on E-Bay. iTunes may be a great program for those who need it's features but, on my netbook, it is pure and simple bloatware. The program has many features I will never use and it sops up over 200 Mb of hard-drive space. In the end, I deleted the Ion software and iTunes and installed Audacity (about 2.0 Mb). Audacity was easier to use and required less than 1% of the hard-drive space of the Ion software plus iTunes.



The hardware, in my opinion, is quite adequate for it's intended purpose. It is intended to allow you to convert your tapes to digital format on your computer. It is plenty robust enough for that purpose. After copying your music to your computer, it would be reasonable to assume you would listen to the digital copy from then on, and never have a need to play the tapes again.

Wanted to transfer my cassettes - especially my holiday collection - to MP3s and my laptop doesn't have an audio input (which is different from a headphone input) to accomplish this properly; even with downloadable software from the net. I didn't want to invest in a whole conversion receiver system, so I went with this. Despite some unfavorable reviews, I was hoping that the software, the USB cable input, and the cassette system itself would do the job. Boy was I right. The thing works perfectly. I have already transferred some treasured cassettes to MP3 and they sound better than ever. The software works seamlessly with Itunes. I just loaded the software and started recording immediately. The only things you have to play with are the record level and if you want the software to split into tracks. You can just let your tape play, if you chose, and it WILL automatically split the songs into different tracks - very cool. If you're like me and you're a little bit concerned about some of the negative reviews - don't be. If you have Windows XP or above, Itunes, a USB input, and a CD player to install the software - you'll be fine. I picture the unfavorable reviewers as people with very low computer saviness, very old operating systems, or those too stubborn to use Itunes. Great product. - Ion - Cassette Digital Tape Convert - Poor Construction - Mp3'

Charging Valet - charger caddy, charging valet


The box arrived and looks exactly like the image provided. Quite handsome in its pleather glory. However, this is the part I don't "get." You have four items to plug in. Some are grounded (3 prong). The box isn't wide enough to accommodate nor hide a power strip. An extension cord run to it won't accommodate four plugs (fire hazard!). So, am running 4 cords through the box, down the back of the table to an extended outlet plug (you know, plug in a 3-outlet bar, plus the other outlet). Not as aesthetically pleasing as I had hoped (used to charge items in two different places). Now the table top is pretty, and the back and plug area look like a rat's nest. But I guess it's an improvement. Faux Leather Charging Station (Brown) (11.5"H x 7.25"W x 4.75"D)

Was not happy with this product and actually had to return it. The Power strip did not fit in the back and if you have a transformer that is big, you cannot get it to fit in the back so it flaps open and looks unattractive. The whole purpose of buying this is that I wanted it to look cool and clean and I wanted to hide the cords, which it did not.

This charging station looks fine, but when you add the items to be charged, there is really not enough space to keep the cords hidden. It becomes an eyesore that needs to be stored away. You might as well just hide the devices and cords themselves. It is ok for organization and knowing where your devices are.

This is a wonderful organizer for all the rechargable items in your life. I have 2 phones, bluetooth headset, my digital camera, & my handheld organizer in my organizer; always ready to go and in one spot so I don't have to remember which room they're charging in. The brown faux leather looks really nice and blends in with my furniture so it's not an eyesore.

The Faux Leather Charging Station makes for a beautiful presentation. My only complaint would be the area that contains the plug-ins doesn't fit all size chargers plug-ins. I have tried using the 4-in one plug -in power cord splitter but although it makes it simpler to plug everything it and just need one outlet it does not house everything. I think the unit could be improved by adding some sort of plug in feature so only one cords comes out of the back. Otherwise I love this items.

Face Wash - acne, skin care


This is NOT for use to remove eye makeup, as it has a Bioglycolic exfoliant (like alpha-hydroxy, it's acidic), so I've been using a vegan tea-tree oil eye makeup remover and then cleanse my face and neck with Jan Marini's Bioglycolic Facial Cleanser. It is moisturizing and leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean. I've been using it with the BioClear cream, I bought them from this seller together and I think they work really well together. I've noticed a huge difference in the brightness, smoothness and youthfulness of my skin and I've been using these products for about 3 weeks consistently now. It makes me love to wash my face! TIP FROM MY ESTHETICIAN: Use a washcloth when washing your face to make sure all the residue is off - if you just splash water to rinse your face, you'll leave residue on your skin, which makes it harder for the skin to absorb your moisturizer. All in all, excellent product, it arrived quickly, and I'll definitely reorder from this seller. These products have impressed me, so now I'm hunting for a Jan Marini eye makeup remover. = ) Jan Marini Bioglycolic Facial Cleanser

I have tried every product on the market, from Pro-Active to M.A.C. to Yonka, etc, etc. I had a facial with the Jan Marini facial cleanser about 6 months ago and couldn't believe how great my skin looked and felt in just one use. Of course I bought a bottle of the cleanser and after six months of use, my skin looks better than it has in my entire life. I never get acne anymore, my old acne scars are almost gone, my skin tone is bright and even and my pores look so small nowJan Marini Bioglycolic Facial Cleanser. This product has been nothing short of a miracle for my skin. I love that one bottle lasts forever, since I only have to use two pumps to wash my face/neck thoroughly and my skin feels so clean every time I use it. Without a doubt this is THE BEST product on the market for troubled skin.

I have used this cleanser on and off because I am not sure about how I feel about it yet.

In terms of what I do like, my skin is not dried out and seems more radiant and clear. But most acids will do that. My skin seems to prefer it, if I use this cleanser 2x a week or when I look tired and dull. In other words, it makes a great exfoliator.



I cannot say it has cleared up my skin as it does cause some minor irritation and I have broken out since using the product. I generally tolerate acids very well. Most AHA/BHA products do the same thing and it is just a matter of finding one you like.



The biggest issues I have with Jan Marini in particular are the harsh sulphates and parabens. Aside from the acid, the rest of the ingredients are known for being harsh and undesirable. Your skin absorbs everything you put on it. And ingredients that can interfere with my hormones, make me very reluctant to use them.



I have this big bottle I want to finish, however the ingredients make me feel uneasy and I just wanted to share my feelings in the subject. I know for most of us, when we find something that finally works, we often don't care what's in it! But I think I am open to more natural glycolic products, that don't use additional chemicals in order to save money.

I have adult cystic acne & over the years have tried every product out there. This is the only product line that actually clears up cystic acne, and usually in just a few days :)

It does NOT dry out your skin, and when you use the entire system: Well, I am proud to say I am almost completely acne free!

I highly recommend this product - for the price you just can't beat it!

The regular Biglycolic Facial Cleanser seems very heavy and even greasy. I have combination skin that leans toward oily. The directions say to lather your face and then remove with a wet washcloth, and I see why: this cleaner can't be removed with just splashing your face with water because it is thick and clings to the skin. I ended up buying the oil-free biglycolic cleanser and it felt much better.

I have been using this for about two years now. Absolutely amazing! I love this product. I am 17 and I never get pimples like I did before I used this cleanser. You feel it working when it's going on. I am so glad I found it on amazon for $19 as I have always paid $48 plus tax in the past. This is a great deal.

This cleanser is great for dry or sensitive skin that is prone to acne. It won't suck the moisture from your face but you feel really clean. I've searched a long time for the perfect cleanser and finally found it.

I ordered this just before the holidays and got notice that it shipped right away and a few days later, it's in my mailbox. I love the service and the product is exactly as advertised and in perfect condition. I will definitely get my Jan Marini products here from now on! I just saved a good amount of money too. Thanks.

I have had moderate/severe acne basically my whole life, since I was about 7 years old. I had tried everything. Proactive doesn't work, and every topical prescription medicine doesn't work. I was one of those people that believed nothing could ever help. I believed I had bad genes and there was nothing that I could do about it.

Finally, when I was 20 someone recommended Jan Marini Bioglycolic. After two days I saw improvement! After two weeks my face was virtually clear! I recommend this product to anyone that suffers from acne and is hoping for a miracle. - Skin Care - Acne'

Vehicle Mounts


I bought this because our previous window mount lost its suction and kept falling off the window. I never liked having the GPS mounted where would be theives could easily see I had it while driving around. Although it minimally obstructed any view out of my window it was a bit of a distraction sometimes so having this enables me to mount it out of view or obstruction yet easily accessible for me or my passenger.



My only complaint is the adjustable rod is pretty tough to bend. Im sure this is so the GPS' weight doesnt wear out the rod but a little more ease of adjustment would be nice. Other than that the things works perfect. Arkon Gn033-G Cup Holder Mount For Garmin Nuvi

I used this in a fixed-diameter, molded drink holder and it works well. It works reasonably well in an adjustable drink holder but it is not as secure. There is some shake when the car is going over bumps but it is not a big deal. The connection between the neck and the base is a friction fit and I don't have great confidence that it will remain tight. However, it should be easy enough fix if it becomes loose.

I was wary of the standard screen-suction mount since 1) there is the risk of adhesion loss, 2) it leaves a tell-tale round mark on the glass for thieves and 3) glare/reflections hinder clarity in sunny Florida. The dash-friction mount option bears the disadvantage of damage in the event of a sudden stop or accident, as well as the glare problem. So, after some research, I opted for a cup-holder mount. The advantages are 1) easy to reach, 2) less chance of glare and 3) can be removed without trace to prying eyes. I did note that an emergency stop can still dislodge the holder unless the adjustable spacer is placed in the fore-aft orientation and firmly jammed in. However, I am overall satisfied and hope it can last.

I bought this because I have a center console cup holder. What a great idea this product is. I can set my GPS near me, yet not block my view out of my windshield. Great price, too.



I tried a similar product, Ram Mounting Systems Ram Can, but it costs twice as much, you have to buy a separate bracket for your GPS and it didn't fit into my cup holder.



This Arkon works perfectly!'

Pocket Radio - radio, am-fm


This is a perfect little radio. The reception is very good (much better than a few headphone/radio setup's I've owned), and it is very well made. It's solid and tough. And it's smaller than a pack of cigarettes.There are only 2 downsides I can think of:1. It doesn't have a digital tuner. This can be a major problem with this radio if you're a profuse channel changer. Dialing in your stations is a bit tricky as the slightest adjustment to the tuning dial will send it across many channels. But if you're like me (I pretty much stay on one channel all the time), you'll find this radio to be perfect for you!2. The headphones stink. They do the job, but the radio is actually much better sounding than the headphones allow you to appreciate.It takes only one AA battery and it will last a VERY long time. A set of two AA's will last you dozens of hours.I recommend this radio highly. Sony SRF-59 FM/AM Radio Walkman with Sony MDR Headphones

Man, I wish I knew about this radio a year ago when I bought a highly-rated but, as it turned out, temperamental digital pocket radio. This one has most of the digital radio's virtues and none of its flaws. Reception of the stations I listen to is fine, AM sound is good, and FM sound quality is fantastic, comparing quite favorably to the digital. The local classical station sounds sublime, and "Coast to Coast AM" doesn't fade out on me. Construction is lightweight and extremely rugged. The tuning dial is a little difficult to fine-tune; if Sony wants to improve this model, they'll make a large disk-type dial with a recessed window that shows the frequency instead of this tiny and ambiguous linear scale. The included headphones don't do justice to the radio's clean sound--an extra $8 to $10 and you're good to go. The belt clip appears to be rugged, but only time will tell. It holds the radio firmly in place.



If you want a simple pocket radio, this one is the best value for the money. Sony still makes really good low-end stuff.

This radio has actually exceeded my expectations. Easily the best pocket radio that I've owned in a good ten years.



As noted by others, this radio has great AM reception. No, the included headphones are not good. But when used with better ones the sound quality is, dare I say, excellent for a radio of this price. A surpisingly warm, rich sound - not the harsh/brittle/thin sound of other radios that I was afraid of. Compare it to a radio like the god-awful RCA RP1667 in order to truly appreciate how great this little radio is. And for the price you can't beat it. I even like the analog tuning and volume controls.



Just to correct a previous reviewer, this radio does indeed receive FM in stereo.



[...I never thought I'd write something so positive about anything... what's happened to me?....]

THANK YOU SONY for not messing up a great design.



This radio is simply perfect for what it does.



I'm on my third incarnation of this radio and will buy another one.



By calling it a "Volkswagen Beetle" I mean that it's simple, efficient and does the job.



I am a radio junky and listen hours every day... in bed, around the house, walking in the rain. I also take this radio overseas, on mountain tops, on public transportation, etc.. I used to really enjoy using it on airplanes until they changed the rules!



I suppose if you only listen to a few pre-sets, maybe you'd like a digital better.



But for "surfing" or finding to far-away stations, an analogue dial is way better. Most old ham radio guys (like me) will tell you that a dial is the best way to get the best signal.



The radio has only a few buttons and dials but they are the right one.

The two thumb dials (frequency, volume) on this radio are perfect -- they are easy to dial but firm enough to hold their positions in your pocket.



The buttons are the only ones you really need:

* A dedicated on-off button.

It's big and in the right place. I love a dedicated button because I can turn it off during the commercials or phone call. When I turn it on again, it's on the right station and at the right volume. Having a dual-use volume and power knob (as many radios do) means you're always re-adjusting the volume.



* AM/FM (no comment needed)



* FM DX/Local

This is a touch of class. You will probably leave it on "DX" (which means far away in ham radio slang) unless you live near a big FM antenna -- then you're very glad it's there!



As for "DXing" on AM -- this radio does well. I have one of the better table top AM radios around (the GE SuperRadio III) and this little Sony holds its own against that.



It goes for hours and hours on one AA battery. I've never timed it but it's so efficient that you don't have to worry if you leave it on over night or similar. I use it for hours every day but change the battery only rarely.



It is loud enough. I happen to prefer hear buds and it is VERY loud enough with those.



Durability -- I have never broken one, despite having dropped it a zillion times. I've never totally immersed one in water but I've had them rained on or used them with wet hands many times.



My only changes in design would be very minor - I wish Sony would add a little hole to attach a lanyard, so I cold wear it around my neck. Also, on rare occasions under pressure, the belt-hook will self release. But this might be better than the alternative of actually breaking (it is plastic, after all.)



Last but not least is the affordable price -- I hate to pay too much for portable devices since it is so easy to lose them. You can find portable radios cheaper than this one but I wouldn't expect them to be half as good.



(I must seem a little nutty about this product! It's just that I rarely get to review something I like so well after having used for so many years. (fifteen years? more?). - Radio - Pocket Radio - Portable Radio - Am-fm'

Car Stereo Mp3 Am Fm Cd - wiring kits, car audio


Received my amp install kit and when I opened it up I was happy to see everything you'd need was in the box. Though, when I closely looked at the wires I was a bit concerned they appeared to be thinner than described. I decided to prove my suspicions right or wrong with some calipers and I convinced myself that my eyes were right.



This kit advertises 10awg wires. Per American Wire Gauge (AWG) standards, a 10AWG wire should measure .1018 inches in diameter. When I measured my power wire I received a diameter of .0860 inches. This measurement would indicate the wire is somewhere between 11 & 12 AWG. Much thinner than described. The insulation on these wires is really thick, I'm sure that's to give the idea that the wire is true to size. If you're wondering whether my measuring tool was accurate to this dimension, I work in a facility where we have our calibers calibrated monthly as we deal with dimensions this small routinely.



I'm not willing to starve my amp (though it is small) so I'm returning the product and will be going to purchase trusted wires elsewhere.



At the end of the day, I got what I paid for. That's why it's going back. SSL SWK10 Complete 10 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit

If you need it for amp installation then forget it! the power wire is pretty thin and the whole package is kind of awkward... they should have included some extra terminals as well as given a better fuse box instead of ummmmm i'm not even sure how to call that FUSE box LOL. I got this set for hooking up my crossover so i don't regret buying it coz it was only 7 bux. It's perfect for what i need...



Once again, i bought another amp kit from the amazon for 12 bux by boss and that kit is alot better than this 1 so if you need this 1 for amp installation you might want to reconsider your purchase.



In conclusion, don't let the price tag fool you, add another few dollars and buy a better product. - Car Stereo Mp3 Am Fm Cd - Car Audio - Wiring Kits - Boss'

Laser - green laser, green laser pointer


I purchased a laser pointer from a different company about the same time I did this one. The other one came in way quicker, it seemed brighter then this one. The sticker was different. This laser pointer was a few dollars cheaper, but from the pictures they both looked the same. Looking inside, this laser pointer doesn't have the foam protecting the spring that the other one had. I would go with another dimple laser pointer they seem better, and only cost like 2 dollars more. Military Grade Green (532 nm) Laser Pointer, 5 mW

I purchased one of these 3 packs of green laser pointers. They included 2 AAA Alkaline batteries for each pointer, and the batteries are fine. It seems that the pointers are "seconds". One pointer works great; nice and bright. Another pointer is super bright for about 1/2 second when first turned on, then it drops to a nice very bright level and remains there. One pointer requires warming up; it starts out very dim (you can barely see it in daylight) then after about a minute it has brightened up nearly to full brightness and stays there unless I leave it off for a minute and it cools down. I tried brand new Duracell batteries in these pointers and their behavior is the same. So overall I feel like two pointers are okay for any type of use and the third pointer is okay for playing with the cats since it will be on long enough to warm up. The price was

The laser pointer works great. It's built well with a solid casing. The price is great. The description says nothing about the order including 3 but the picture shows 3 pointers and the other reviews mention that it's a 3 pack but I only received 1 per order. I am not sure if this is a mistake or if the order just comes with 1. Still 5 bucks for 1 of these pointers is a good deal.

I think that people who order stuff off the internet should get good quality products.......i ordered 5 packs of the 3 pack lasers i ended up getting 4 lasers that didnt work!!!!!!!! i mean do they check these things before they send them too u???? so i call them up and tell them my problem now i have to pay to send them back and all they can offer me is my money or 4 new lasers i think they shuld give u a discount on something or atleast give u a few lasers for free for the hassle........OTHER THAN THAT THE LASERS THAT DID WORK WERE AWSOME AND I WILL BE BUYING MORE AS LONG AS I DONT HAVE TO GO TREW THIS HASSLE AGAIN!!!!! - Green Laser Pointer - Green Laser - Laser'

Fashion Hoodies


I love the look at feel of this hoodie. It fit me perfectly. The front was a little low-cut, so I put on a tank top underneath. Now after a hard day's sweat, things got a little funny. The dye sort of rubbed off on my tank top. When I took off the hoodie, I had gray rub marks on the underarms and the sides. Hopefully they will wash out. Other than that, this is a great simple addition to any plus-size gal's closet. Plus size Gray Deep cut v-neck Hoodie top - 2X

So comfortable and cute! I wear a lace cami or white long sleeve underneath since I am a mommy of two little girls and dont want my other two girls exposed that much. hahaha The design is on the front and back. NOT super huge so it looks gaudy but just up by the shoulder area. Also I love the black jewel accents on the printed design. Gives it a something little extra without too much bling. I wear a 1x and ordered a 1x and it was the right size for me. I wonder why the other customer had a problem with size? I also ordered it in Black!

I received this shirt today and I absolutely LOVE it! It is very flattering! I usually wear a 2x (as someone mentioned) but after reading the reviews, I decided to order a 5x. I am glad I did because the 5x is a perfect fit!



If you read the product description, it clearly states, "Available in 1X, 2X, 3X junior plus sizes." The keywords: Junior Plus Sizes (I wouldn't let my teen wear this but that's just me).



So for any adult complaining about the shirt being too small, you should have read everything before you ordered it. It's not the company's fault, it's yours.

I love this hoodie. I bought it in gray, then bought in black. It's light weight and comfy, not clingy. haven't lost any of the jewels yet either. It's a little too low in front, so I wear a tank top underneath. It's fun to have different color tanks.'

Lubricants - oil, full synthetic


My particuliar car requires a specific quality of oil to be used. Most auto store locations do not offer this type of oil. So I was glad to find that my car needs were met on-line at Amazon.com.

Also I aquired a specilized filter that was needed for the extended life

motor oil on-line at Amazon.com. Oh, sure these items could be purchased at the dealer but at much higher prices. The filter was also perfect so I am good to go for over 10,000 miles of driving once again without spending a lot of money at the dealer for a specific oil and a specific filter that they supply.

Notebook Cooler - notebook cooler, laptop accessories


The Xpad slim is definitely a better design than the original Xpad; it's wider, thinner, doesn't have a fabric on the bottom that becomes frayed after several months of use, doesn't have that annoying "lip" on the bottom between the plastic and the fabric that hurts your legs (because there's no fabric on the slim), and has vents on each section of the X.



There are two noteable drawbacks, though. The first is that the Lapinator Plus (with the Mousetizer addon if you want to use a real mouse with it) is frankly a better product than the Xpad for home use. It's more comfortable and has space for a mouse (with the Mousetizer). That's not to say that the Xpad isn't worth using, however. The Xpad is small enough and sturdy enough that it's perfect to put in a backpack when you're bringing your laptop somewhere else, whereas the Lapinator is less portable but more comfortable and has space for a mouse, and so is better suited to use at home where it won't be transported somewhere else very often. As such, they're both great products, they're just suited for different purposes.



The other drawback I've noticed is that right out of the box, the Xpad Slim absolutely REEKS of rubber. When I open my backpack with the Xpad in it, the smell immediately hits me, hard. I didn't notice this problem at all with the previous version of the Xpad. I'm hoping that'll go away after a month or so.



UPDATE: after letting the Xpad sit out in my room for several days, the intense rubber smell did in fact go away. Xpad Slim (Non-slip Laptop Cooler and Heatshield)

Chill pads are proven to extend the life of your laptop and reduce the number of repairs needed, not to mention they reduce the heat you are exposed to when you just don't have a stable surface to put your laptop on other than your lap.

I have gone through many chill pads from many different manufacturers and this is one of the thinnest products I have ever had. I bought this product after looking at reviews of many different cooling pads on cnet. It scored better than many of the chill pads that require power sources and ultimately drain your battery life faster when you aren't next to a power source. The power cord is usually what fails first on all my other chill pads, so I was excited to get rid of this and go with a pad that doesn't use a power source and require a power cord. I have found that this product excels at cooling my 15" PC laptop better than many of the chill pads I have used in the past and is more portable thanks to the fact it is lightweight in comparison to similar products, the lack of a needed power cord as well as the overall thinness of the Xpad. However unlike my PC laptop, my 13" Apple Macbook Pro doesn't have cooling fans on the bottom of it and the Xpad just doesn't work as effectively as a cooling pad that uses a forced-air fan to draw air out from underneath the laptop and cool it. However there is some cooling and this product's portability in comparison to many of the other products out there make it my go-to pad when I am out and about and know that I will not be able to connect to a power source for a certain period of time. I highly recommend it when traveling, but would advise another pad be used as your primary pad if you are seeking the ultimate cooling for an Apple or even a larger PC laptop.

I have a 17" laptop, and after much investigation bought the original Xpad almost a year ago. It was just slightly smaller than what I needed but I could fit it between the feet of my laptop and it worked beautifully.



Now I just received the new Xpad Slim, which is slightly larger and which accommodates my 17" laptop. The genius of the original design has carried over to the new version - it permits the laptop to cool itself efficiently as it was designed to do, without blocking critical airflow or interfering with the circulation of the fans.



Buy one. Buy several. Give them to your friends. It is hands-down the best money you'll ever spend on an outboard accessory for your laptop.

Xpad Slim (Non-slip Laptop Cooler and Heatshield)



I have a mac. Macs are hot computers...in more than one way. After an hour of work on my lap, I felt like an iron was on my thighs. I tried several different products to cool the computer, but didn't find the right one until the Xpad. I don't even think about the heat anymore. It's very comfortable, feels secure, and is light. Not to mention effective. I'm happy to recommend it.

There is a difference between laptops and notebook computers. Mainly that notebooks tend to be larger, heavier, more powerful, and have a cooling fan port underneath that has too little airflow space under the cumputer to allow the built in cooling system to do its job properly. This is especially true when you try to lay in bed while web surfing, and the cooling vent gets plugged up altogether by blankets! VERY BAD for your notebook computer! I use this on my 17" gaming unit, and it provides extra space underneath for good airflow. It keeps my computer 10 to 15 degrees celcius cooler under hard use. It well protects my lap from the heat of the notebook, and allows me to use my computer anywhere (in bed, on my lap while traveling, etc.). Forget about cooling units with built in fans, as they'll burn out your USB header. this one works great for a great price, and is simple (can you say K.I.S.S. rule?). - Notebook Cooler - Laptop Accessories - Laptop Cooling Pad - Cooling'

Mp3 Cell Phone Accessories - mp3 cell phone accessories, adaptor


This is a size adapter only. It adapts a set of stereo headphones with a 3.5mm mini plug to a device with a 2.5mm micro stereo receptacle. It would also work on a mono earplug + mike setup. (note the two black rings on the plug in the product photo) If that's what you're looking for then look no further. But be careful, if you own a cell phone that plays mp3's you probably need something else.



If you have stereo headphones with a mike, or a device with a stereo + microphone output (like many cell phones) this won't work. That type of plug has three rings, like this one - Samsung A880, A890, A900, A920, A940, A950, A970 OEM Stereo Adapter AETS43CSEB/STD. Which is for headphones only, mike function is disabled.



If you actually want to listen to music and be able to easily answer your phone you need something like this, LG Handfree Stereo Headset for the LG Chocolate and other compatible LG handsets, which is actually an adapter with a built in microphone and a seperate headset (if you don't like the headset you can use most stereo headsets with the adapter. Universal 2.5 Male to 3.5 Female Headphone/Adaptor

I didn't receive what I ordered. This item is pictured as a cord. I ordered three, and received three adapter plugs instead. So instead of the L-shaped plug sticking out from the phone jack only 1/4" like I wanted, the whole contraption sticks out 1 1/2" instead. That risks damage to my treo's jack with the slightest tug on the headphones. Unacceptable. I'm not messing with a return since the shipping costs more than the item, but... buyer beware.

I have a Palm Centro and use it as my MP3 player, as well as streaming internet radio. My headphones are the standard 3.5mm, and the headphone jack on the Centro is 2.5mm, so I needed an adapter. I bought this one and it works perfectly. Unlike the previous adapter I bought from Radio Shack for over $10, and i had to trim some of the rubber flashing around the tip for it to fit into my phone, and after a few months it had a short in it. This one is cheaper, and works better - I recommend it.

As stated by others, this only outputs sound on the right side of the headphones for some devices (on my LG Lotus LX600 cell phone). I would have faulted myself for this oversight for lack of research, but the Technical Details are misleading. It says a microphone will not work, but that it IS for audio/music output.



Also, the item is not a black cord with a right-angle connection. It is a white cord with a straight connection. Work on your descriptions guys. Tough to beat the prices, but it's pointless to return items due to shipping charges.

Don't be ignorant as I was when buying this - this product is not for cell phones, which require a 2.5mm male with THREE rings, not two.



This adapter is for converting one-way stereo audio (TWO rings).

I ordered what was pictured here. A 2.5mm TRS PLUG to a 3.5mm TRS SOCKET adapter.

Instead I received a 2.5mm to 3.5mm headset adapter which is configured as TRRS not TRS.

TRRS will NOT work in a TRS socket.



I really need what I purchased, not what you sent.

The title just about covers it. If you have a Palm phone, don't buy this adapter. It doesn't really work (there is sound, in both ears, but for some unfathomable reason the sound quality is absolutely abysmal). Of course, you can't return it - it's not worth the shipping.

Well i bought this item quite som time ago and it arrived promptly without any hassles so 5 star to Efforcity. But when I plugin my earphones into my E71x I get only mono output. I don't know why is that, but my guess is Nokia E71x produces mono sound through the earphones jack and the compatible earphone doubles up the sound. I primarily needed the converter for listening music with my favorite earphones, but will have to look for something else now. - Mp3 Cell Phone Accessories - Adapter - Mp3 Accessories - Adaptor'
