Camera Straps - neckstrap, digital slr

There are two versions of the excellent camera strap. There's this one and then there's the Op/Tech Pro Camera Strap 3/8" - Black.



There are two differences (besides cost).



This strap is considerably shorter. To my mind you can always make the longer strap shorter but once you've let this one out all the way that's all there is. I'm 6'3" and with this strap let out all the way I can sort of comfortably carry a camera over my shoulder. If I want to put the strap over my head it is very uncomfortable.



The shorter strap uses a loop through attachment while with the longer strap you need to thread the strap through your camera eyelet and then the strap buckle. I purchased the shorter strap (not realizing how short it was) for the convenience of the loop attachment. After buying the longer strap I've found that threading the strap isn't that much less convenient.



My suggestion would be to buy the other, longer strap unless you are certain the additional length will not come in handy. Either way, these are extremely comfortable straps.



Additional details about the length difference:



One strap has a max length of 46" and the other a bit over 56". The difference is the length of the two attachment pieces that connect either end of your camera to the center strap. The shorter strap comes with these: Op/Tech System Connector #9 Uni Adapter Loop, 10.5" - 13.5" (26,7 CM - 34,3 CM) each side and the longer one with these: OP/TECH USA System Connectors 3/8" (9,525mm) - Carrying strap connector - black (pack of 2 ). You can see that by going to any of the larger camera store sites and reviewing the details listed there about the two straps. Just google: "Op/Tech 1501372" and then "Op/Tech 1501012" to do searches on the two different straps mentioned in this review.



I found this out the hard way, by ordering the shorter strap without knowing the difference. I "fixed" it by ordering both the longer version of the strap and an extra set of extensions.



BTW, I feel that honest, effective reviews can take the place of first-hand experiences that are lacking in online shopping. I've always appreciated the help I've received from other reviewers and work hard to return the favor as best as I can. I hope you found this review helpful and if there was anything you thought was lacking or unclear leave a comment and I'll do what I can to fix it. OP/TECH 1501372 Pro Loop Strap for Camera Equipment (Black)

This is a great strap. I find the padding to be very, very comfortable and far better the strap that came with my Canon DSLR. Another viewer mentioned it was too short, but I actually had to adjust it quite a bit to make it shorter (I'm 5'5"), so I don't think anyone under 6" would have any problems with it. Realize too that this is part of the Op/Tech system, which means that you can unhook the connectors which grasp the camera, and replace with other Op/Tech connectors (such as the Super Pro A). Why would you want to do this? Well if you use a Canon and certain film cameras (such as Hasselblad or Bronica), the cameras have different hardware for connecting with straps. For example, the connector on this strap will not connect with a Hasselblad or Bronica (but they will connect with most other cameras, including Canon so don't worry). So instead of having different straps that fit different cameras, you can just buy the connectors and click them on and interchange on this one strap.

I replaced my OEM Nikon strap with this one. It is very comfortable and distrubutes the weight nice. I like that it has a bit of stretch and snap back, I can wrap it up in my arm and help to stabalize my hand-held shots. I also like that you can take the large porion of the strap off and clip the ends together. This give you a hand strap that is adjustable. You still need to wrap it and such. I usually have part of it come over and under the front left and wrap my wrist, again, helping me to stabalize my shots.



It slings on the shoulder nice and does not slip off. I often carry it like this at the zoo, or park. It's more and accessible this way vs. around my neck. Also it gets more comfy this way too.

I bought this for my Canon G6, which is almost the size and weight of a full-fledged SLR. This is a great strap. It is well made, the design of the loops allows use on cameras with small eyelets, the strap easily falls away from the camera body while shooting so it's not in your way, and the strap itself distributes the weight over a large area so your shooting fatigue-free for hours. Highly recommended. Wish I bought it about 10 years ago!

I'll just add a few comments since most of the others have given the good points. First, I'm 6'2" and have no problem with the length - the camera could hang down to my waist. The only reason it could be too short is if you put the strap over your head to hang it from your shoulder. But the strap has such good cling that just hanging it off your shoulder is quite safe and much more comfortable.



I also like that the big strap is detachable. But more importantly I like that the male and female ends on the clips will mate on the camera attachments straps. Other brands miss this trick. This make a small carry handle which is useful and doesn't get in the way when I work on a tripod or if I'm just going to keep the camera in the bag. You can then keep the big strap out of your camera bag when you're not going to use it.

It's too short. If they would add about a foot, foot and a half adjustability to it (make it longer), it would be great. Had to retire it after one hiking trip because I couldn't sling my camera in the most comfortable position for me.

I bought this strap to pair with my commonly used R-Strap, a shoulder sling strap that attaches to the tripod mount. I needed a strap with quick-release strips so I didn't have to spend 10 minutes just to change between the two. Unfortunately, the remaining cords left on either side of the camera when you remove the padded portion of the strap are so long that they just get in the way.



Having six inch cords hanging from your camera when you're walking around with it at your side is just plain irritating. Even worse, when use the camera on the tripod in any sort of wind, the wind catches them and can add a small amount of movement to your shot, a real issue during a night shoot when a small amount of movement over 30 seconds results in a blurred subject.



As to the comfort of the strap itself, it is nicely padded and stayed on my neck without any issues, but I found the claims of some of the reviewers here that the strap halved the weight of your camera to be overblown. If you don't plan on making use of the quick-release, then I'd recommend it to you. I, however, am returning it and looking for another strap that won't leave half of itself behind when removed. - Neckstrap - Photography - Strap - Digital Slr'

Ipod Nano Watch Band

Visit Store Now !!

I have decided to review this product, since there are no other reviews worth reading, and since it is actually a fairly good buy. The choice can be difficult, because on average this product is more expensive than the other running docks for your ipod.



Firstly, let me say that I have only had mine for a day. I have the 6th Gen Nano. So, I cannot give any feedback at this stage regarding how this product will wear. I will try to remember to return in a month or two's time and post an update. Also, time from buy to receive was about a week, so I cant identify with the other comment about the lack of shipping.



- The product looks good, and is essentially exactly how it looks in the photo. The Nano fits pretty much perfectly. However, if you have a silicone cover on your nano it will NOT fit.

- It is easy to get the nano in and out, and because of the clip on the nano, when its in, it is secure, and therefore wont fall off the watch. This means its not the kind of "cover" where once its in, its in forever.

- The screen of the nano can be easily rotated to have the clock face, and the menu etc interface in the orientation you desire.

- The headphone jack of the nano points UP YOU ARM when the ipod is docked. I find this to be quite convenient as I use mine for running, and therefore want the cable pointing up my arm

- NB one: The docking platform between the two straps is PLASTIC (not metal). I believe this will have pro's and con's, given that plastic will wear better with the sweat, but may not last as long. Potential concern here. However, the plastic does appear sturdy, so will let you know how it goes.

- The size of the watch strap, and the holes make it possible to fit almost all size arms. I am a fairly big guy, and it fits me comfortably. However, if you have mammoth wrists, you may run into trouble.



Post comments, and I will try to answer them. All in all, a good product that is (imho) freaking cool.



UPDATE: March 10:



I have been using the product for about a month and a half. I used a small file to round the edges of the platic platform onto which the ipod attaches, as they were quite sharp and snagged on sweaters etc. My ipod fits snuggly into the platform, and doesn't move around. The plastic platform still looks good.



The silicone straps dont show any signs of wear yet, and I use my strap principally for running, so the straps receives a lot of sweat. Btw, if you use for running, get yourself a set of these babies: Sennheiser Adidas PMX 680 Sports Earbud Headphone with Volume control & Neckband. They are incredible, and dont move an inch when you run. iWatchz CLRCHR22BLK Q Collection Wrist Strap for iPod Nano 6G

I had always thought that a small mp3 player could always be worn best on the wrist. Clipping it to a band or cuffing it to your bicep wasn't always the most comfortable, secure fit. Obviously, the market wasn't out there for this idea until the 6G Ipod Nano came along. Before, the small size pretty much limited the total song capacity to about two, and there was no option to securely fasten the player to the wrist anyway- they were still too bulky.



This Nano, with its optional clock display-was made for this wristband (and vice versa). I got this watchband as a gift for my wife after getting her the Ipod for Christmas. The fit is tight and secure. The instructions are nonexistent- if you need to adjust the bands to facilitate positioning the Ipod (to not only display correctly but to have the headphone jack positioned correctly as well, you will have to study the pieces and intuit what needs to be done. Not a problem for me- but I am smart:)



In the end, with a little extra effort on my part swapping the bands around- this turned into an appreciated gift. My wife wears the Ipod daily as a watch. All that is needed is to plug in the headphones and the Ipod reverts back to its original purpose- only secured to the wrist (the headphones are positioned to run up inside shirt sleeves, helping to keep the cords from flaying around wildly when working out).



So yes, this is a very good product. No instructions in this case won't merit a mark down because any adjustments are easy to figure out and don't require extra parts/tools to accomplish. Once adjusted (and this may not be necessary for you) this watchband is well-made and obviously manufactured to fit the Ipod securely and attractively. This product complements the Ipod so well I expect Apple will come out with something similar to it, soon.

The part that holds the nano is flimsy and poorly made.



Problem one: very rough edge that hangs out beyond the nano.



Problem two: the whole band depends on one very thin piece of plastic underneath the nano. The piece broke after about 2 months of daily use.



The bad was great and very comfortable, but the piece that holds the nano is terrible.'

These earrings arrived "lightening fast", and were very well packaged in a sturdy small mailing box, within which was a nice blue gift box, within which was a blue velour drawstring bag containing the earrings. The earrings look just as I expected. They are a ivory/white color and have a pearly sheen to them, which you can't really see in the example photo. (Pearls can have an irridescence look to them. ) I bought this set on Gold Box special for around $20, and they are more than worth it. The shape of each pearl i recieved is close to perfect, and there are just a few very tiny flaws (little "dents") in the surface that are so miniscule I had to look really close-up to even find them. The diameter of my pearls is 6.5 mm , which is almost exactly the diameter of the end of a standard pencil eraser. I have med-sized earlobes for a 5'2" person, and I think these pearls are proportioned nicely for my face - even are a tiny bit larger than I might have thought to buy in person. The posts are a generous length too, which is good becuase they will poke me in the head if I go to sleep and forget to take them off ! I wish i could have bought 3 sets (extras for gifts), but the particular sale only allowed one set per person... 14k Yellow Gold 6.5-7mm Akoya Pearl Stud Earrings

I do love these pearls! Like a previous reviewer said, I too noticed small nicks in the pearls. They aren't perfect but when you are wearing them, nobody will see the imperfections. Besides, it seems mine are mounted so the imperfections face toward the stud. For the price, I'd recommend them.

The earrings are pretty, 14K gold cup holders have nice Akoya pearls at the front. Good sheen and lustre and a nice round shape. These are the size of petite peas and were a little small for my taste, as I usually wear very large stud earrings. These look tiny on my ears but were a little too big for my kid. So I may just gift them to someone else. By the way, Amazon's shipping is fast but it was blazing fast this time...I ordered these earrings on Feb 21st evening and they arrived Feb 22nd at 11:30 AM traveling from KY to GA. I was stunned!

I bought the earrings for my niece. The earrings look pretty from distance. The Akoya pearls are definitely more lustrous than other pearls. But it is easy to see the blemishes and dents on the pearls.

These are very pretty earrings and nicer than I had expected. They look good with casual or dressy. They are comfortable to wear on my ears. All in all I would order more this size of something else or another color.

I bought these for a mother-of pearl and gold pendant I already had, and they resulted the perfect combination! They are a very nice size, the pearls have a subtle sheen and the posts are gold, so no problem for sensitive ears! I got these through a gold box deal from Amazon for only $19.99, so I couldn't be happier. Great value for the price!

This was a gift, very sweet since I've been wearing plastic pearls for 2 years. They are small (6mm) so if you are looking for more of an impact, go larger. Both of mine are blemished, not badly, but not prestine as in the picture. Nice size/gift for a younger girl. Maybe someday I'll have AAA 8.5's, but for now these are fine.'

Blackberry Storm - blackberry storm 9530, 9530

Visit Store Now !!

I really was hesitant about buying this skin, but since it was made by B'Berry and the price was low, I thought I'd give it a shot.



It's a fantastic protective device for my phone.



It's very soft and not somewhat tacky like other silicone products can be. It fits perfectly and even has little nodules where the buttons on the phone are so that you can still tell where that pesky button is underneath the skin.



Don't understand the complaints about the thickness, the skin is meant to protect the phone not bulletproof it. I find the thickness adequate for the function of the product. Better yet, it offers a much more solid grip of the phone than without the skin.



Hope this helps you decide. Blackberry Storm Black Rubberized Skin Original

This is the actual silicon case from Blackberry. Its nice, soft and does provide some protection. It fits the device pretty well and is easy to remove. I wish were just a little more rugged than it is, but it works just fine. I can access all the external buttons just fine. It looks good on the phone.

Shipped fast and case fits great. This is my 2nd Storm because I dropped the first one on hardwoods without a case and it immediately stopped working. I've dropped the 2nd one a couple of times but the case seems to give it a little bit of protection above making the casing not nearly as slippery.

This fits the Storm2 like a glove and it feels good in my hand. The skin is soft and gives the phone a little traction so that it doesn't slide across surfaces or out of my hand as easily. It is still easy to use the butotns on the phone and there is an opening for the side port so it can charge without takng the skin off. There is an extra opening on the back of the skin (there is also an opening for the camera lens) which I'm guessing may be used with a charging pad??



The addition of the skin makes for a tight fit in the OEM case. I suspect after a year or so either the skin will strecth out (it stretches a little everytime it is pushed into the case) or the OEM case will pull appart at the stitching.

If you're like me, you love to read reviews before you buy something but just want to get to the bottom line. So here it is:



Basic case for low cost. It's not an otterbox so it won't cushion a drop from a second floor window, but it provides enough protection for your everyday drops. Remember to buy a clear screen protector as well, since this provides no screen protection. It also provides basic spill protection in that it won't let water get to the battery immediately (tip: always disconnect your battery immediately after a spill and place your phone without the battery or battery cover on it submerged in a bowl of dry rice for two days. It is likely to survive!). If you need something very tough to protect against the elements, this is not the cover for you. If you need a skin to cushion from low drops or minor spills, this should do the trick!

Works great, fits well, doesn't add bulk.



Two complaints:

The sides don't completely cover the silver borders (minute, yet really irritating for me)

The volume buttons are almost flush with the rubber surface making it hard to discern between the two without looking - Accessories - Blackberry Storm 9530 - Cell Phone Cover - 9530'

Booklight - book light, reading light

Visit Store Now !!

I purchased two of these; one to go in my e-reader accessories pouch and one for my bedside table. The light is much brighter than it really needs to be, but that's not a problem except for a super light-sensitive sleeper, as another reviewer mentioned. The lights are inexpensive, small, light and extremely portable, and I was lucky enough to find a pink one. The battery cover is very easy to manipulate and I love that the light takes two AAA batteries.



Here's how it works: The light is made a bit like an alligator clip. When the clip is opened, the light comes on. There's a slot on the back lip of the clip, and the idea is to fit the back cover of the book into the slot. The clip opening can be adjusted for optimum lighting.



There are a couple of design issues purchasers should be aware of. It doesn't work as planned on very thick books. I'm reading Diana Gabaldon's latest, and it's thicker than the light's widest setting. I resolved this by slotting a group of pages in the middle of the book into the light and because it's so lightweight, that works just fine. For very large books, the bottom of the page is pretty shadowy, but that can be resolved by holding the light over the page. My e-reader, an Aluratek Libre, is a hair too thick to hold the light securely, but the size is perfect for the Libre's smallish screen.



Overall I'm happy with my GE Booklights. Thy're not perfect, but I'm thrilled that I can read at night without bothering anyone. GE 17228 LED Book Lights, Battery Operated Clip-On, Colors May Vary

I love these booklights! They are great! I bought one around Christmas for my daughter from Walmart and finally found them again here on Amazon. They are great because they use 3AAA batteries - no funky expensive flat watch-type batteries. They last quite a while and they work perfectly! My girls love them!

I got this booklight in pink at Walmart a couple years ago, for less than $5. Was so happy to find a booklight that doesn't take those expensive round batteries. This is a GREAT little light. Highly reccomend.

This booklight is so simple to use, clips on well, stores well, and is very bright. I love it and so does my child who loves to use it to read in bed.



I purchased mine at Wal-mart for around $5. Amazon has it way over priced currently, so shop around!



Great booklight. Highly recommend.

I picked this light up in a retail store and for the price, it really can't be beat. It takes 3 triple A batteries. It's nice and slim, so it fits easily into my purse and works great with my Kindle.

I was looking for a reading light for my Dad for Father's Day. My Mom saw these and thought it would be great. I ordered it and then went to WalMart and saw one for like 8 bucks. I was so bummed. Then the product came and it comes with one of each color which neither of us read down far enough to realize that. He loves it and it is perfect. My Mom ended up with one, my Dad has one for the trailer when they leave for the winter, and then the one he has for the house. They both absolutely love them. Great product. Now I just need to order myself a set.

I was looking for a book light which would operate with regular batteries (AAA) and wouldn't have a long, flexible neck. I have finally found this great book light! The design is simple and smart, and it's pretty compact. I love it!! I bought this blue one at WALMART and it was less than $5. I am thinking about getting another one as a little Christmas gift for my brother. - Book Light - Reading Light'

Monster Cable - hdmi, 1080p

Visit Store Now !!

I got this HDMI cable for under $10 with shipping just to see whether it will work as well as the expensive ones and it was well worth the risk. I tested it with my upconverting LG DVD player on 1080i resolution on my 42" 1080p Westinghouse LCD TV (update 2009: now used for Blu-ray from PS3 to 46" Sony LCD TV) and it works just like any other HDMI cable, including those loud names who charge you ten-fold for "golden plated extra special micro gravity nanotechnology space age wireless high conductivity low noise extra gauge supercalafragilisticexpialidocious" cables with no difference in performance. By buying this cable I avoided the huge "naive citizen tax" included in these products. Considering its price, this is an amazingly good cable. HDMI Cable 2M (6 Feet)

This cable has received a lot of attention on Amazon, so I thought I'd throw in my two cents. I'll write the most simple review I can:



Me buy this cable. Me plug this cable between Sony PS3 and Philips 42" LCD TV. Sony PS3 say "HDMI Detected". TV say picture from source is "HDMI 1080p". Me point to Monster cables and laugh.



I will now go back to banging coconuts together. Thank you.

OK - here's the story. I was going to buy a Toshiba HDTV. I had picked it out already and was ready to purchase it and that was when I found a promotion at a local retailer that if I bought a Toshiba HDTV then I can get $200 off of any of the Toshiba HD DVD players. The HDA2 was normally $399 but was on sale for $299 and with the $200 off I got it for $99!! You can't beat that!



Well, I got that on Tuesday and it was an unexpected purchase. I asked the person at the store how much the HDMI cable would be so that I can hook it up as soon as I get home. He said, it's a Monster Cable and it costs $124.99! Whoa! I went up to the shelf and saw the sticker that said $124.99 on it and on the sticker it said "Financing Available"! What?! I'm not going to pay more for the cable than I did for the DVD player! These guys are crazy!



I told the guy "You are nuts if you think I'm going to pay that amount" and I logged onto Amazon and purchased this HDMI cable I'm doing the review for. I paid, with shipping, less than $9 for it. I was a little worried about it though - I'm sure that there must be a difference between the $124.99 cable and the $9 cable. So, I took the test. I went and purchased the $124.99 cable (mostly because I was too anxious to try out the new HD DVD player and couldn't wait for it to arrive). I plugged it in and of course the HD DVD I played looked absolutely amazing! The very next day I got the $9 cable (pretty fast shipping by these guys by the way) and I hooked it up. I was worried what I would find but when I started watching the same HD DVD that I watched the night before on the $124.99 cable I could notice NO DIFFERNCE WHATSOEVER between the two cables' results. So I returned the $124.99 cable.



You will not be sorry if you purchase this cable over the other ones in the major retailers. Don't let them tell you "it's a better quality cable" or anything like that. This cable is built very well - you can just tell when you hold it in your hand that it was made well. You don't get the fancy plastic packaging that you have to tear into with a knife and cut your fingers on though (oh what a bummer!). Get this cable. It's great!



The only thing you will want to research is that I have seen in some literature that there are two different kinds of cables. I think there is a special one for 1080p DVD players (dont' quote me on this). So do your research before purchasing just to make sure that this is the correct "type". As far as build quality - picture quality, for use with an upconverting DVD player as well as the Toshiba HDA2 HD DVD player, it's an absolute steal.

HDMI is a digital signal. That means it's all or nothing--not like analog where you may have degradation due to signal loss, crosstalk, radio frequency interference, etc. As long as you have a decent HDMI cable to transmit the digital bitstream from point A to point B, you're set. I just purchased the new Sony Bravia S-series 32 inch LCD TV. To go with it, I trashed my old Apex with the missing remote and got a deal on a Sony DVP-NS70H upconverting DVD player that can synthesize "extra" lines of resolution. The player can send 720p or 1080i signal to the TV. (Current DVDs are 480p; that standard will change eventually with Blu-Ray and HD-DVD.) I knew that the upconversion feature only works through a digital connection, so I'd need to get an HDMI cable. Started checking prices and, no surprise, they were all over the place. Some were in the $100 range. Despite mild skepticism, I decided to try the cheapest one. This little beauty arrived in 3 days in a plain brown wrapper and a clear plastic bag. The cable is surprisingly robust, with nice build quality, supple insulation, and good connectors. I started to feel vindicated. So I plugged it in, put Harry Potter in the DVD player and WOW!! The DVD player and TV did their magic. Spellbindingly great picture and sound. I haven't tried a component analog connection--those cables are REALLY expensive and quality matters more there--so I can't compare component versus HDMI. Bottom line: this is an unbeatable price performer for around $10 incuding shipping. And no, this is not an April Fools joke. - Digital Cable - Hdtv - Hdmi - 1080p'

The link to the actual product service contract (psw) was dead. I could not view the psw prior to purchase. Anytime someone selling me says "trust me" YET what is is writing does NOT match what they say then that is unacceptable. Discrepancies: 1) YOU must pay for shipping the item back; sure , they provide a so-called "free pre-paid shipping label" however, the value of the shipping is deducted from your settlement. 2) Did you ever plug your electrical item in to an outlet? Was that outlet surge protected? Are you ready for this... YOU may have to remove your surge protector and ship it to SQ for "inspection". So many exclusions that I'll just quote a few: "INTERMITTENT ISSUES ARE NOT CONSIDERED PRODUCT FAILURES". Failures related to "electrical supply" NOT covered!!! 3) "Although We maintain a record of Your Service Agreement purchase, You must have in YOUR possession a copy or Your Original purchase receipt in order to present a claim.



The last clause of the contract is titled "ENTIRE CONTRACT". In the event that the nice sales folks over at SQ Trade make any verbal assurances or even if they send you an "email clarification", the ENTIRE CONTRACT clause nullifies any verbal or email assurance which you may have received from a S-trade employee. This clause prohibits any of their employees from modifying the original service contract. The truth of the matter is that any service which SQ TR is providing at this point is repair or replacement that is "goodwill". In other words, they really are not obligated, by terms of your service contract, to provide repair or replacement in most any foreseeable failure scenarios. Why do you have to retain the original receipt if you have already submitted a copy? How readable will your original receipt be in three years? If we have learned anything since 2008 it is that the fine print DOES matter. Sooner, rather than later any of the provisions may be enforced to improve the bottom line. SquareTrade 3-Year Electronics Warranty ($350-400 Items)

Anybody who buys this based on the reviews should note that statistically, it is quite odd that there are only 5 star reviews and 1 star reviews. Furthermore.. 6 of the 5-star reviews were placed on April 10, 2009... (and another on April 9, 2009).



Very fishy...

Squaretrade offers the most affordable and dependable warranties of any company I have seen. Every electronic I purchase has a Squaretrade warranty. Although I have only made two claims since I started with Squaretrade I was pleasantly surprised that my claim was handled within days not weeks like other companies and I received a full refund for my product's purchase price, not some refurbished piece of junk. I would definitely recommend Squaretrade to anyone.

Square-trade has by far been the best warranty service I have ever owned. They live up to their word, and deliver ever time. I had to make 2 claims on a refurbished xbox 360, and both were incredibly easy. I was surprised. No fees, no questions. Just simply works. Would recommend for any product on the market. Best warranty service, period.

I purchased a refurbished HP Slimline Computer 12/08. SquareTrade advertised their warranty that was 1/3 the cost from HP, so I signed up. The motherboard went out within the first year. I discovered it only had a 90 day warranty so I called SquareTrade to discuss my problem. I was ready for the usual run around which I was sure would result in a statement about it not being covered. That was not the case at all. I spoke with a very polite lady who asked me a few questions and within 5 minutes they said they would reimburse me for my full purchase price. AND THEY DID!!!! What a surprise. A company that actually did what they said they would without any hassle or a hundred hoops to jump through. I just insured my new external drive with them and I will continue to insure anything I can with them. They stand behind their word and have an excellent price. Thank you SquareTrade.

My tablet PC simply would not turn on. After discussing the case and unsuccessfully attempting to fix the computer over the phone, I sent the product to the repair center who was also unable to fix the problem. Squaretrade refunded the cost of the item without and arguing or headache. I will definitely use them in the future.

Although I never do so, I purchased the 3 year Square Trade warranty which extends the televison warranty by two more years. Had to call Square Trade for clarification of something. Excellent customer service and fast fix of paperwork. No arguments and excellent follow up. Extremely happy with this transaction.

Peace of mind on electronics is really important. So much of the stuff we use just doesn't last and it costs more to fix than replace. I have used these warranties in the past and been glad to have them when something goes wrong. I know many "experts" say these, on the whole are not necessary, but I have had electronic devices fail 2 days after the manufacturer's warranty period and would have had to pay outrageous repair bills or buy a new one. The warranty repaired the device and, one of them is still running strong 5 years later. I think they are worth it; especially when we need things to last. - Apple - Warranty - Extended Warranty - Itouch'
