Dry Erase Boards - magnetic dry erase board, dry erase boards


The product is as advertised. It's a basic 11x14 dry erase board. It includes magnetic and double-sided tape mounting options, which is nice since it's a pain to get something that isn't mountable out-of-the-box. The included dry erase marker is a fine-tip, and will probably need to be replaced quickly with regular use. There is no board eraser included. My only complaint is that the marker leaves dark traces after erasing, so you'll need to clean the board often. This size is good for quick notes and lists for placement in smaller areas like narrow walls and refrigerators. Board Dudes 11 x 14-Inch Metalix Magnetic Dry Erase Board, Colors May Vary (45000UA-4)

You can see the quality as soon as you pull the dry erase board out of the box. We ordered ours more than two months ago and it continues to work perfectly. Our board is mounted on the refrigerator door and we use it for shopping lists, errands and to-do lists.



We can go a couple weeks between cleanings. Like all dry erase boards, eventually you will need to clean the surface to remove ghost lines.



The product is a great value for the price. We are thinking about buying a couple more before Christmas for our sons' room.



In summary, excellent quality and price; what more can you ask for in a dry erase board? Rating: Five stars.

Great size for kids working on math problems.

Save LOTS of paper.

Can be easily taken to anywhere (even school).

After I bought them for my kids, and they take it to school, the teachers have asked every student to get one too. Everyone saves paper.

Great for students.

I have this board on the outside of my door at school, and I love it! It's a good size, seems sturdy, and it gets the job done just fine. I was not a huge fan of the mounting materials provided, though. I ended up buying some 3M command strips and using those instead, which worked perfectly but it wasn't ideal. I had hoped the mounting materials provided would be adequate but for sticking to the outside of a dorm door, not so much.

Doubts I had & the answers for it:



Quality of magnet - Pretty good

Quality of board - Good

Quality of marker - Not bad

Quality of silver metal - Fancy (not useful for me)



How the board is been used personally:

--------------------------------------

- Keep track of the vegetables, fruits bought and the order to use them

- Keep track of left over dishes

- Keep track of coupons and their expiration date

- Keep track of groceries/essential items to be bought

- Keep track of bills to be paid

Fits perfectly on fridge. Marker works great, magnets small but useable.

Previous reviewers stated it didn't fit right and that you should put foam pieces between board and magnets.......it came with the foam pieces!!!!!

All in all, just what I was looking for!

Our 2 boards are warped and don't lay flat, so when they are on the fridge if we put pressure on a corner that isn't laying flat against the fridge the whole board flies off the fridge and falls the the floor. Very annoying. - Whiteboard - Dry Erase Board - Magnetic Dry Erase Board - Dry Erase Boards'

Raw Food


These are not the full size bars. Instead, these are small snack size pieces of your favorite Raw flavors, for a mid-afternoon snack, or to stave of hunger between meals. The thick chocolate flavor mimics something worth feeling guilty over, but thankfully at 100 calories each, its a healthy snack. The low GI of these bars is great for loosing weight and fighting hunger, and there are no refined sugars, no hydrogenation, and they are vegan and raw. You can't ask for a better snack! I would have a hard time using the full size bars for portion control, but these work perfectly. As to the flavor, check the reviews of the full Raw bars, everyone has their favorites and they are not for all people, especially those used to crunchy granola bars. Raw Rev 100, 4-Flavor Variety Pack, 100 Calorie Organic Live Food Bar, 0.8-Ounce Bars (Pack of 24)

The good:

1) surprisingly filling

2) good flavor

4) love the "fun" sized packages



The bad

1) texture is oddly greasy

2) cocoa powder has been processed with alkali, which greatly reduces antioxidant capacity



I prefer Larabar on the whole (better texture, better flavor, no alkali), but I do like the portion size on this item. Perfect to take the edge off your hunger without ruining your appetite when it's mealtime.

The yellow (cashew and agave nector) are my favorite. This batch was the freshest I've received of any of these bars and I've bought several flavors of the big size but am sick of it before eating the entire thing. These are perfect. I took a star off for the oiliness..why on earth all the oil?? It makes them so fattening and leaves oily fingers! :( Otherwise a healthier snack and these fit nicely in a pocket. :)

I gotta shake my head at the reviewer who gave these smaller bars one star specifically because they are smaller - that's just illogical since the whole point is that they ARE smaller for people who don't always want a full-size bar. I LOVE this smaller size!!! Now when I get that inevitable urge to eat something rich and chocolate-y but somewhat healthy, I can grab one of these 100 calorie bars and take the edge off instead of wolfing down the 270 calorie bar. Like many other reviewers, I'm not thrilled with the serious amount of oiliness some of the flavors have, but that one little quibble is overwhelmingly overridden with the yummy rich taste, handy size and general healthiness of this product. I'll be buying many more of these little bars.

The flavors of this variety pack are quite good. I was looking for a nut-based bar with not too much sweetener as the Larabar-style of including dates as the first ingredient is just too overwhelming. These bars provide a good bit of nutty crunch without a ton of sugar. However, these bars use agave nectar, which is basically pure fructose. Several studies have shown that agave nectar is pretty bad for your metabolism: [...].



Finally, I wish these bars weren't so darn oily! The packaging should do something to keep the nut oil inside the wrapper.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being deep fried snickers and 1 being liver, I'd say these are a solid 6.5, would eat again. They feel a little oily and the texture could be better, but all in all tasty and habit forming.

These snack size are perfect for throwing in the purse to have when hunger hits on the go. I agree with another reviewer who says the 'regular' size bars are too big! My daughter (6 years old) LOVES these. After school she often asks, "Mom, can I have a Raw Revolution?"....which gives it an automatic 5 star rating in our house. Even my husband who tends to favor a less delicate and more MEATy snack eats these. Try them!

We really like these bars, and they are 100 calories which is nice. We are hearing now that agave is not good for you, and not really raw, so that is a concern, but for now we will keep getting them as they are really yummy and a good substitution for candy bars.'

Dell Laptop Battery - laptop batteries, replacement battery


Be sure to get the "RoHs" battery featured here. I purchased a 9 cell battery from another seller at about the same time as this 9 cell battery. This one holds a 3 hour 40 minute (plus time to spare) charge (I tested with media player playing the first half the time and a backup running the second half - no idle time) and the other barely gets past 2 hours. HUGE difference. Also the other battery gets warm - not this one. Nice! I highly recommend this product.



As for the seller, the shipping time was fast and the price is decent, esp for what you're getting (it's like two thirds cheaper than buying direct from Dell if I'm not mistaken).



One one of the best buys I've made over the past 12 months. Kudos! 9 cell Battery For Dell Inspiron 1525 1526 series replace RN873 GP952 M911 X284G series Ac Laptop Notebook Main Battery

The first gotcha was that this battery is quite a bit bigger that the one it replaced (RN 873) but it fit the slot fine. Just stick out and down a little.



Second gotcha was absolutely no directions which should be not problem but...Apparently Dell uses a Smart Power system which has thousands of complaints on the internet.



Anyway, I powered down, installed battery and powered up. Power options said 63%. OK so far. 12 hours later still 63%....Uh Oh.



Long story (about 7 hours of Internetting, calling, attempted BIOS flashes etc) developed many horror stories about LIon batteries and Dell power adapter. The dreaded "unknown device" syndrome.



Here's how Dell recommended a reset. First, power down and remove battery. Second, unplug AC Power adapter from computer AND wall. Third-Wait till green light goes out. In my case, went and got coffee and watch a show.



Fourth - plug adapter into wall and computer and power up WITHOUT the battery installed.

After boot up, insert the battery.



It worked?!!?!

I bought this battery to replace the worn-out battery on my 2-year-old Inspiron 1525, which is battery model M911G. The one I received didn't fit the computer and it didnt look like the battery pictured above. Return was easy through Amazon, but disappointed that the battery didn't fit. Possibly my mistake, as the product description says it fits M911 (but doesn't say M911G).

For those that are confused about the physical size of the replacement battery; this is an extended size battery. There is the standard size that is flush with your laptop when inserted, and there are the extended sizes that protrude out approximately one inch from the back of your laptop. You will find this same protrusion on any extended size battery you buy directly from Dell. It will stick out the back a little, and that is normal. The standard size is a six cell battery and will give you a shorter run time on a charge. This is a nine cell battery, and this is how they get more run time out of the battery... it's bigger ;)



Considering the same size battery from Dell costs $179; I would say paying $39 is a bargain (price I paid at time of purchase). It would still be a bargain even if it lasts only half as long.



You can save yourself some headaches though on having to replace your battery more often than necessary:



- If you generally have your laptop plugged in and the battery is sitting there fully charged all the time, unplug it and let the battery run down a bit (about 40%) and then remove it. Your laptop will function just fine without the battery. When you need to use the battery, put it back in, let it charge up a bit, and use it.



I can't give this product a five star rating as I haven't had it for an extended period of time. I received it, plugged it in, discharged it, charged it up to full and it shows about 6.5 hours of run time with the backlight on the LCD at dim. Ran it down to 40% and put it away for storage. I'll come back and edit this review a few months down the road.



[EDIT - Addition - Jan 31, 2011]



Well, a few months down the road has passed by. First, a little background info so you can relate my usage to what I am saying. I am a full time tech college student, I drive a small fifteen minutes both ways to campus, and I attend class four days out of the week. I have the computer on pretty much the whole time as that is where I store my notes, take my notes, and do some of my homework. I use the the battery fairly frequently. With all that use my battery still reads 6.5 hours. Not sure if it is reading right or not, but it does hold a charge through all my classes down to about the 15-20% mark at worst (depending on usage). I do keep the battery on power saver settings while in school; display dimness turned all the way down, display turns off in 3 minutes, goes to sleep in fifteen minutes, WiFi turned off unless I need to look something up. I do occasionally turn the display brightness up, but turn it back down after. Do realize that the more you are demanding out of your laptop, it will shorten how long your battery will be running, I am pretty much using it for Office 2007. I remove the battery on the weekends as I can run it off the power cord at home.



I have been pretty satisfied with the battery, so much that when my wife's laptop had her battery kick the bucket I went and ordered one for her also (she has the same brand/model laptop as I do). I would buy this battery again and am changing my rating for it to a five star.

I bought this battery to replace my m911g battery for my dell inspiron 1525. I was a little scared that it would not work since there was a report or two stating it was not compatable with the m911g battery. I took a leap of faith and bought it, the free amazon prime 2 day shipping had it in my hands the next day, and if it did not work I knew amazon would make returning the battery super easy. So I put the battery in the laptop plugged it in over night as per the instructions and booted it up this morning. Decent preformance out of the 9 cell battery, about 3 hours on normal usage so far. Per the instructions I ran the battery all the way down from the first charge and recharged it. Its now running only on battery after the second charge and it has been going for about an hour and a half now and still has 70% left. Granted I'm not doing much on it but still decent run time.



I'd say if your looking for a replacement battery for your inspiron 1525 or simliar take a chance on this battery. So far I've been plesantly suprised. Is it as great of a battery as a Dell branded 9 cell....maybe...maybe not. But to get 3 hours out of it is pretty good. Even if this battery only lasts 10 months I can afford to buy 4 more before speanding the same amount I'd spend on 1 dell 9 cell battery. If I buy 2 of these and get 2 yeras out of them by then its time to just replace the laptop at that point.



If my expereince changes I'll report back..but for now I'd say give it a shot.



* UPDATE 11/28/2010*

This little battery is still running great for me. No problems at all using this battery since buying it. I would strongly suggest this to anyone with an Inspirion 1525. It is recognized properly by windows and charges with no issues. I can use it for all of 3 hours browsing the internet with no issues. Buy this now.



*UPDATE 2/17/2011*

Battery still working great. No problems at all. Still getting about 3 hours of use out of a full charge. Still would recommmend. - Laptop Batteries - Dell Battery - Replacement Battery - Laptop Battery'

Flashlight - light, worklight


The Milwaukee 2735-20 M18 LED worklight is handy to use and provides a bright, but not glaring, light. The M18 battery gives it a secure base and the ability to aim the head vertically is very useful. A little pricey, but well worth the cost. Milwaukee 2735-20 M18 LED Worklight

This is a well designed light, which I find useful in many situations. It can light up a small area of the desk in front of me, or it can light up a wall 20 feet away. With the adjustable head and the rear pull-out hanger it's easy to get light where you need it. Very little drain on the battery. Highly recommended.

Ok, this is a LOT of money for a flashlight, but the fact I can use my Milwaukee batteries on it, and it uses very little power, is super bright, and can contort itself into any useable position in any situation, makes it well worth the money. Since's it LED based, there should never be an occasion to need to replace the "bulb". Sorry Edison!

This flashlight works great, runs cool. I used it for plumbing under a sink, plenty of light, not quite a flood light but it has good beam spread. It ran 3+ hours and then I used the battery in the drill with no apparent end of charge. LED's should last almost forever so you never have to replace the bulb.

I have couple of other LED flashlights to compare it to and the 160 lumen output seem fair.

We have some other brands of work lights like this but, this is the brightest by far! If you have some M18 tools and batteries you need to buy this light. I know it is a little spendy, so you are going to have to buck up and spend a few more bucks. You won't be disappointed. After you use this light once you will never want to buy a old style incandescent light again.

The Milwaukee 2735-20 M18 LED worklight is great for anyone who owns the corresponding 18V drill or other tool. The primary benefit being that you get an 18V flashlight. I have found drill battery powered flashlights to be indispensable during power outages and of course for mundane lighting tasks around the house and garage. The only down side to this light is that it lacks range. It provides near light in the area of 20-30 feet, but anything beyond that distance and the light disperses too much.

This is the brightest light I have ever used ! It light up my whole back yard at night like daylight. I have been using it about a month on and off every night, and the battery indicator still has not budged!

The light uses 1 LED bulb. It looks small, but it puts out a lot of light. It stays cool to the touch, and seems to last a long time without draining the M18 batteries. It's a good work light, and has a handy pop-out hook so you can hook it into your pocket (or on a belt) for a minute while your hands are full. It balances nicely and the head of the flashlight stays at the angle that you put it at. - Flashlight - Light - Worklight'

Finish Nailers - finish nailers, finish nailer


I bought this gun sight unseen (usually I go "touch" tools at the H--- D---- first, but they didn't have one) and am so far very pleased. When I took it out of the box, the first thing I noticed was how light it is. It's amazing. Here's my comments:- The nail magazine is plastic and the housing is magnesium making this thing feel like a toy in your hand. I'm still a little skeptical about the plastic magazine and wonder if it would withstand the daily pounding of professional use (I'm only a heavy duty homeowner).The good:- The oil free engine is fantastic. No oil on your work and no need to remember to oil it.- Easy to use and maintain.- Pretty much jam free (I've shot plenty of nails through it already).- VERY light.The bad:- Only shoots Stanley nails (PC and Senco shoot a different type of nail). Not a problem as I see it - [One home improvement store] sells them in boxes of 5000 (PC sells their nails in boxes of 1000).- Plastic magazine - Not sure how long it will last. Bostitch N62FNK-2 15-Gauge 1-Inch to 2-1/2-Inch Angled Finish Nailer

I have been shopping for a 15 or 16 gauge finish nailer for about six months. This Bostitch is the only 15 gauge angled nailer that I have found to be priced in the straight 16 gauge price range.This is the best 15 gauge gun at any price. Just hold this gun in your hand and you will be convinced that you can't buy a better gun, period.I had narrowed my choices down to the Bostitch, Porter-Cable and the new DeWalt.The PC was nice, the price was right and I have had great success with my PC 18 gauge brad nailer, but the 15 gauge PC was way too heavy. Almost twice the weight of the Bostitch.The DeWalt fit my small hands like a glove, was very light weight and within my budget (if I stayed with the straight nailer vs the angled model). However, I shyed away from the DeWalt models because the contact trip assembly had too many bends which didn't seem to operate as smoothly as the PC and Bostitch. The display model at a local hardware store already looked like it was on the verge of having problems. I'm not hard on my tools, but one nasty bump, or a fall off of the workbench and you might be out of business.Finally the Bostitch!At less than 4 lbs. it's the lightest in it's class, yet still packs the biggest punch of them all! 400 in./lbs. It only weighs about 1 lb. more than by Porter-Cable brad nailer.The finish and quality are second to none. It just plain ol' feels good in your hand. It's balanced so well it feels like an extension of your hand.I am on a major budget (per the wife), but this gun is definitely worth every penny of the MSRP of $.... So why is it selling for only $...? Either A) it's a "typo", or B) Amazon and/or Bostitch has gone loco. Whatever the reason, my advice is buy this nailer before they discover that they are practically giving it away. I'm sure this gun will be the standard by which all other finish nailers will be measured against. You will not regret this purchase!"TEN Stars....Final answer"!

From the sound of these reviews, the gun seems to work pretty good for homeowners & such. I've been a carpenter for 40 years. I've been using finish nailers for about 20 years. My last nail gun was a Duo-fast. I finally retired it recently, after 17+ years of service. Since the local lumber yard carries Bostich nails, I went with Bostich. I've had the gun 18 months & the piston rod has broken 3 times. Replacing it myself still cost me $35.00 a pop. Anybody who has trimmed a door or window or installed baseboard, knows it's immpossible not to hit a screw head or sheetrock nail once in a while. Well, everytime I hit one, the piston rod breaks. It breaks in the exact same spot. It appears to made of cast aluminum or something, instead of hardened or stainless steel. I like the gun & am thinking about getting somebody to manufacture a functional rod for me, since Bostich doesn't know how.

I am in the process of remodeling my "old" house. The walls are plaster which have become very brittle and delicate over the years. Hammering to install new molding was out of the question. I needed a gun that was light, powerful, easy to operate, and didn't require oiling so as not to make a mess in my home.I purchased the Bostitch N62FNK-2 nailer (my first nailer) based on the customer reviews and manufacturer information. This gun is absolutely amazing! It delivered everything I wanted in a nailer. I saved money because I didn't damage any of the existing plaster walls, all nails held firmly the first shot...hammering would have been a nightmare!! I was a little apprehensive about using a nail gun since I had never owned one before. It was so easy and so fast!! My only improvement idea would be that the manufacturer offer variety nail packs, so you don't have to buy such large quantities of only one size nail... BUT... Have No fear...Go for it...perhaps the best tool I have ever owned!

I just bought this as my first nailer. Overall, it's great. The design, operation, and fact that it's oil-less make it super simple to use. My first trim project would have taken forever if I had to nail it by hand, thankfully I didn't, I had the Bostitch N62!The only reason I didn't give it 5-stars is I was dissappointed to find that you can only buy FN-style nails in quantities suitable for contractors. Bostitch needs to get with the times and realize that air tools are not just for the trades, but serious enthusiasts as well. The competition is ahead of the game in this respect.

Wow! This nailer is so light I thought it was fake! Despite the lightweight, it packs a serious punch. Oak over oak is no problem. The store even said it would drive through concrete. It smokes my Senco tools. It is so much lighter, and so much more powerful. I used to have 12 Senco's but now I am going to switch all the crew over to this nailer.

I am a cabinet maker, and have been for more then 20 years, I bought a new bostitch T-36 finish nailer in 1983, to this day that gun has never failed to work, it has never been to a shop for repairs, of any kind. And I am very demanding of my tools, but I also take real good care of them and I do all of my own maintenance on my tools. I bought the new N62FNK-2 a few months ago because of carpo tunnel in my hands, and I needed a lighter gun to work with. All I can say is it is the best finish nailer to date that I have ever used, some of the things I really like about the N62 is it has low recoil in my hands when I shoot a nail, and the weight of the gun, and the balance, it's just perfect. when I'm shooting face frames on cabinet boxes the rubber nose really helps to stabilize the gun. I also like the power that it has, I can shoot a 2 1/2" nail thru 2 1/4" of solid oak and counter sink it a 1/6" at only 80lbs of air, and at a low counter sink setting using a 25' hose, so just think what you could do at 100lbs of air and a heavy counter sink setting, big oak crown mouldings, casings, it's endless what you could do. And for those who say they can't find an asortment of nails for the N62, I can tell you I have not had any problem finding and buying 1" all the way up to 2 1/2" nails for my gun. For me, it's the only finish nailer to have, and over the years I have used alot of different finish nailers out there, because most of my friends are contractors to. So I will keep my T-36 for shop backup, but with my new N62FNK I don't think I will ever need to use it. Thank you bostitch, you have done real good with this one. - Finish Nailers - Finish - Nail Gun - Finish Nailer'

Invicta Russian Divers Watch - invicta russian divers watch, casual watch


This watch is my 4th Invicta in my collection. I have to say that I am very impressed with this watch's value. It is an oversized watch that is stylish and looks much more expessive than it is. It is not a giant/heavy watch like some other Invictas, but is just right on my 6'2" frame. The color of the watch band is more of a tan than it is an orange as it appears in the picture. Also I was very impressed with the speed at which I recieved this watch from Jomashop. Overall I would highly recomend this watch. Invicta II Black Dial Leather Bracelet Mens Watch 0787

I received the watch with low expectations considering this was my first invicta watch. I was totally impressed! The quality of the watch was excellent, quick shipping time, and isnt too bulky on my wrist (I'm 6'4 so it fits well). The strap in the picture is more orange than it actually is in real life. Overall I would definitely recommend this watch to others.

My son bought this watch for his dad as a birthday gift and was surprised at how large it was when it arrived.

From the picture you cannot tell that the face is so big. It's also pretty heavy so think about that if you

decide to order it. But, it's very nice looking and you'll get lots of comments about it!

I received the watch only two days after being notified it had been shipped. Great job on delivery by Jomashop. The date I received the watch was the18th of the month, but while the time on the dial was correct, the 0787's date display indicated the 13th.



The strap is not true to the orange hue of the picture, it is more of a tan shade than orange. The contrast from white stitching is a nice touch, but strap is more barely-adequate than top notch, and doesn't enhance the appearance of the watch. Leather (but is it leather, or just the lining is?) doesn't feel rich and textured to the touch. There appears to be more grain in the strap of the official picture than in the actual retail watch. Fortunately, the watch band can easily be upgraded by online specialized vendors. Also, strap width is advertised at 22mm; however I measured it at 26mm.



The dual crown is a fun touch, making the watch unique. Watch movement is absolutely quiet.



Even though it is not the largest Invicta size (I believe it actually is on the smaller side for the brand), this timepiece is still an oversized watch, and while I knew the measurements beforehand, the impressive dimensions were a bit of a shock when I wore it the first time.



Overall the 0787's stainless steel case expresses a feel of quality without being heavy. The sides are polished for "mirror" effect. Numbers on the watch are large and the black dial definitely has a look reminiscent of old European diving watches like the Panerai MM.



I created an account on Invicta's website and was expecting, as mentioned by other Invicta reviewers, that the additional 4-year period would be automatically added to the 1-year standard warranty. However the extended warranty option was not provided at any time during registration. On the other hand, along with the watch came a warranty card that states that the extended warranty comes with a fee, $65 for the 0787 - which pretty much defeats the purpose of getting a warranty since it costs the same as the watch itself. I would have rate the 0787 with 5 stars if it weren't for the warranty issue and the very average strap.



UPDATE 9/17/2011:

After a few days wearing the watch, I started noticing a "halo" around the dial. Caused by condensation or other I'm not sure. Sent the watch back to Jomashop. Didn't hear back for two weeks, then got the watch back - not fixed. Asked refund from Amazon but was told I couldn't get one because watch had been worn. If you don't buy directly form Amazon you are not protected the same way. This ended up being a terrible shopping experience because of the product itself which became defective only a few days after purchase, and because of the way it was serviced by Jomashop. Now I have to send watch to Invicta for warranty repair, which means I have to pick up shipping costs - for a brand new watch! I updated my rating to one star because (1) Invicta has a quality problem with this watch and (2) by choosing dealers not willing to do the right thing (replacement/refund) Invicta has made me lose all excitement for their product. In addition, I will never buy a product of this type again if it is not directly sold by Amazon. - Invicta - Casual Watch - Russian Diver - Invicta Russian Divers Watch'

Bamboo Fun - wacom, bamboo


I ordered this case to go along with my Wacom Bamboo medium tablet. This case is the same material one of my other laptop cases is made out of. It looks and feels like neoprene on first touch, but the material is dense and if you push your fingers into it, you'll leave an impression for a few minutes. If you just hit the case without putting continued pressure on it, the material stays hard.



I expected the case to be formfitting to the tablet and to not have much room around it similar to a sleeve. The is not the case here. The sleeve is slightly larger and leaves for space inside of it once the tablet is in place. This really isn't that bad because I can also put a notebook pad of paper behind the tablet, or keep print outs, drawings, etc in there as well. There is a little piece of neoprene for the pen to stay in which is nice as well as a little squishy plastic logo piece that also acts as a holder for the extra pen-tips. The only down side here, and why I gave the unit four instead of five stars, is that there is no specific place to hold the little pen-tip-remover tool or the tablet's cord. I expected a small loop or something to put the cord in similar to the pen's loop. Currently, my cord is just floating around on the back of my tablet in the case until I figure out a better management system for it.



Overall, the case is great. It holds and protects the tablet and looks really nice. I highly recommend it for this tablet. I didn't keep my old bamboo tablet in a case, and now it's all scratched up (though it works fine, it's just kind of ugly now) and I don't want that to happen to this unit. be.ez 100860 LA robe Sleeve for Wacom Bamboo 2 Medium (Black/Wasabi)

I love this case for my Wacom Bamboo Fun (Medium). The colors are so complimentary (black and neon green inside) and this case really fits the bamboo fun (medium) excellently! I wish it were roughly $10 cheaper; if it was, I probably would've bought 2! It's sturdy and protects my tablet nicely. I wish that they added a slot to hold the USB plug so that it doesn't flail around in the case and lightly scratch my tablet, but I can maneuver the cable around so that it's stationary inside.

This case is perfect. It stores the Bamboo touch perfectly and the pen too. I take this to school to use on the computers there for Photoshop class. When I am done I pack it up and go home. When I am not using it I slide it into the sleeve while it is still plugged in just to keep the dust off the Bamboo. It's high density foam is a great cushion for the delicate bamboo. It's also pretty slick looking.

I bought this as a gift to go with a Bamboo fun I bought for my boyfriend for his birthday. I do have to say the case is excellent (and fun to squish thee memory foam it is made of - haha!). It even has a place for the pen. My only two issues with the case are the price (it is a little pricey for it being a sleeve rather than a hard case) and the fact that there is no place to keep the replacement nubs for the pen or the USB cord (you have to just shove the cord into the case and hope for the best. Aside from those inconveniences, it really is a great case and so far seems to be doing its job!

the protection offered by this case is pretty good, however i would prefer it to have some sort of compartment or other method for wire management for the Bamboo's USB cable. I'm afraid over time the cable dangling in the case may scratch the Bamboo.

It is a little big for the tablet, but this actually helps me because i can store sketches too.



Material is strange. I think it isn't neoprene, and it is like a memory foam but a little harder.
