Hard Case - thunderbolt, hard case


I've been using this case now for a few days on my Thunderbolt. I really just got it for peace of mind, because before I had a case I was always having nightmares of the day my phone would slip from my hands onto some asphault and I'd be out several hundred bucks. This case has cured my paranoia.



It is a very solid case, and seems like it would do very well at protecting my Thunderbolt from damage should it get dropped or banged around, though fortunately that hasn't happened yet. All of the holes are lined up perfectly for easy access to the buttons/outputs/stand/etc.



Only negatives I have about it are that in the back part of the case, the spot where the two ends of the case snap in is kind of raised up and not completely flat against the phone. And also, I can't see any other viable options for cases for this phone at the minute, so they're able to get away charging a ton for what feels like (and probably is) just a piece of plastic that costs less than a dollar to make. It is still worth it to me though otherwise I wouldn't have bought it, and surely other cheaper options will come along as the Thunderbolt is still a relatively new device. Seidio Innocase II Surface Case for HTC ThunderBolt (Black)

I had bought one of the Verizon gel cases when buying my new thunderbolt. What a mistake! Immediately started looking around for other case options and I really wanted to get a hard case (so the phone wouldn't stick to my jean pocket). This one fits very well. Nice soft texture on a hard case, but doesn't get caught in the pocket. I recommend it for sure.

this case is great, the black has a nice hard but rubbery feel, almost a little softness to it also.

dust does not cling to it too much. pant fuzz is easy to blow off. durable and fits on the phone great.



take off the case when going back into cell phone store because nobody knows how to take it off the phone and they may damage it, luckily i swiped it out of the dudes hand and showed him how to do it correctly.



would def reccomend.

First off, let me say, the case itself is great. It does it's job well. Unfortunately, it does it's job too well. If you ever need to remove the case (as it is a 3 part layered case), then you're more likely to ruin the case or scratch the phone while removing it. I needed to remove the case to restart the phone and adjust/check the sim card, and in the process, it took me an hour trying to remove the last layer of the case. Please be aware of this before considering the purchase.

this is an awesome case, it does have a little play in the bottom half the the case which some complained about. but i folded some paper up and put it in the case and now the fitment is tight and better than ever. would deff recommend it.

Just bought a new thunderbolt, so naturally I was wanted a case to keep it looking new. Decided to go with this case due to the high praise, and I'm so glad that I did. This is a quality case! It fits the phone very snugly and just feels solid. The design of it allows for very easy access to all of the buttons and ports. I was particularly nervous that having it on might make pressing the power button difficult, but I'm pleased to say that this is not the case. On top of offering functional goodness I personally feel that it adds to the overall look of the phone and really helps it feel more durable in the hand. Some might be concerned about the case adding thickness to an already bulky phone, and although it does, I actually found this desirable as weird as that sounds.

I've been using this case for about a week now. I was searching for a case that added minimal bulk with maximum protection. I have to say this case does just that.



It fits the phone absolutely perfectly. The backside of the case is lined in velvet so it doesn't scratch the phone at all. The case itself is in 2 pieces. The top part covers about 3/4 of the phone and then the bottom part covers the other 1/4 and they each slide into each other with a tab type locking mechanism on the back. The overall result is a very sturdy connection.



The case fits the phone perfectly. Every button or connection is perfectly operable including the kickstand, I'm really impressed with the fit. The power button is a little harder to press with it on, but it is what it is and doesn't bother me. The case has a nice matte feel to it and provides a tab more grip that the Thunderbolt exterior itself. It doesn't attract dust or lint either which is nice. It doesn't add much bulk or weight to the phone but I also feel confident that it would stand up to a drop really well. It strikes a nice balance between bulk and protection.



The only thing preventing me from giving it 5 stars is the price. The product is great and I'll definitely remember Seidio for my next phone but $25 for a molded plastic case just seems excessive to me. - Htc - Hard Case - Seidio - Thunderbolt'

Siding Nailer - siding nailer, nails


Bostitch C3R80BDG Thickcoat Round Head 1-1/4-Inch by .080-Inch by 15 Degree Wire Collated Ring Shank Coil Siding Nail (4,200 per Box)



I looked everywhere but Amazon.com had the best price out there. Anywhere else was between $40-$80 more. Package came as decribed and quickly. Bostitch C3R80BDG Thickcoat Round Head 1-1/4-Inch by .080-Inch by 15 Degree Wire Collated Ring Shank Coil Siding Nail (4,200 per Box)

I started off using a box of these from the local hardware store to hang cedar shingles with a Bostitch N66C nailer and they are a good fit. The ring shank has very good holding strength, the galvanized coating will prevent rust staining, and the nail diameter is just right. I've gone through almost 20 bundles and have only split 1 or 2 shingles. The current Amazon price can't be beat, it's almost half what the hardware store is charging. So when I ran out of nails this deal was a no brainer. The only draw back to these nails is that you can't get then any shorter then 1.25". They stick through the inside of the wall about 1/4" so it tends to be a safety concern when you use them on an un-insulated structure like a shed or garage. 1 inch would be perfect in this scenario. Other then that, these nails hardly ever jam in the nailgun. Just make sure you set the pressure regulator to at least 80-90 psi, other wise you are asking for trouble. Good quality nails made in the USA, would highly recommend to anyone for speeding up a cedar shingle, or other wood siding job.

Bought a freeman coil nailer and these bostitch c380bdg nails,well i should have read closer to the specs.These nails are .080 dia. The freeman calls for nails no smaller than.090 dia,so I got nails that don't work corectly,What ever you buy,you must check closely on recommended related items,cause in my case it was not compatible.As for the Freeman nailer,I love it.The cheapest coil siding nailer you can buy. - Nails - Bostitch - Siding Nailer'

Iphone 3gs Charger - ipod charger, iphone 3gs charger


Great charger. (It's only a charger, cannot connect the iphone to a computer.) I had been burned by a third party charger for a previous phone, and didn't recognize the name iseries but I decided to take a chance. When it arrived, I was delighted to see that it was in official Apple packaging. It's not some brand x charger, it's the real thing. Works great! It's cheaper than getting another Apple data cable and power adapter. My daughter used it to recharge her IPAD too. iSeries Home Charger for iPhone,iPhone 3G, iPods

The moment I got the product and plugged in to the outlet, next thing you know is that one of the leg was left in the outlet, this is not gonna work and some one is gonna get shocked by not knowing the metal object left in the outlet.

this charger fits perfect to my ipod3G it is a one piece configured item vs the apple is a two piece that is also a USB, But that charger runs approx 40$. I believe this is the best logical alternative to the actual apple charger. It seems so far to be very reliable and cost effective

Despite some negative reviews I decided to give this charger a try. I have an i-pnone 3gs, i-pod touch 4th generation and a 1st generation i-phone, charger works great on all of those, just like a regular apple charger. I think it's great for the price!

Purchased this charger for my daughters Ipod and my wifes Iphone 4. So far so good...we have used the charger successfully on both components without issue. The product shipped quickly...no negative issues to report.

My wife's IPhone 3G charger got stepped on and broke - so we had to get her a new one. This product was received quickly from Amazon and works very well. She can't tell a difference as far as how long her battery lasts from using the Apple charger compared to this. It appears to be sturdy and should last a long time. To me its better quality than the Apple chargers - We've went through 2 of them (although the 2nd one was not apples fault) - The first one's cord started to separate from end of the cable to plugs into the phone. Apple replaced the first one - but the 2nd one started to do the same thing before it was broken. Overall very happy with this product. - Ipod Charger - Iphone 3g Charger - Iphone 3gs Charger'

Indoor Antenna - tv antenna, hd antenna


I bought a Terk TV-55 antenna around a decade ago (still sold today), since it was one of the most expensive antennas around, and I was hoping there was something to it.



It worked, but I've never been convinced it does any better than more traditional antennas. It does do a better job since the digital transition, but I had to play with it's positioning quite a bit to get everything to come in.



Originally I figured I'd pick up another one of those, but when I saw this, I thought I might as well take a chance on a newer design.



Pulling it out of the box, it's amazing how small and light it is compared to my TV-55...it had me skeptical that it could really do as well.



Before hooking it up, I used the signal strength indicator on my Tivo HD to check how well each station was coming in, so that I could see if this antenna really did better or worse...



I swapped antennas, threw this FDTV1A on a chair near where I have my TV-55, and checked again. To my pleasant surprise, EVERY channel comes in stronger. Channels that were above 80% already are now maxed out at 100. Channels below that have all gained at least 10+ to 30 on the signal meter. I even seem to be able to pull in one station from another market decently that didn't come in at all on the TV-55.



And all that was without doing any more positioning than just throwing it on a chair next to my TV-55 (which is by an outside wall). (I should note that I have channels coming several different directions, so on my TV-55 it's challenging to find an orientation that gets all of them decently-this model really does seem to be omnidirectional, or at least far more so than a normal antenna).



So I'm very happy with this thing's performance so far, and would absolutely recommend it. For YEARS I've wondered why someone couldn't make a better antenna, with all the technology we have now...and it looks like they actually did.



The small size, and small AC adapter are nice too.



One note-if you're already getting channels in super strong, I've heard there's a chance that amplifying them may actually make them worse. I didn't have that happen in my situation at all. Even the channels that were already at 92 or 96 on my signal strength meter just bounced up to 100 without issue, but possibly some people might want to try it without plugging in the amplifier, if their signals are already super strong. Terk FDTV1A Flat Digital Omni Directional Amplified Indoor Antenna (Black)

First some stats. I live about 45 miles from the primary source of all the local stations, in an apartment on the second floor, with a glass door to the balcony in the room with the TV. Also, the TV (and antenna) is in a recessed nook, with walls on three sides. I had been dealing with a boosted rabbit ear antenna setup from Radio Shack for the past 4 months. I could only reliably receive FOX, CBS, PBS, and the CW, and each of these required fiddling with the ears, circular antenna loop, and gain on the boost (too much or too little lost the signal). I could get other channels unpredictably and with a lot of work, and that was enough until I just got fed up with it all. Purchased three TERK antennas at Best Buy to try out, this one, the smaller version (FDTV2a), and a directional antenna (HDTVa).



All three completely blew the Radio Shack antenna out of the water, though they were very close to one another in terms of performance. This antenna was slightly more capable in receiving the weaker signals than the smaller version. While the HDTVa was the overall leader, the only one that picked up NBC while on top of the TV, it is on the large and cumbersome size, and takes up way too much space with the rabbit ears out (which were necessary for NBC). However, once optimally positioned, the FDTV1a picked up NBC and many others, and required NO adjustment.



I had to stand the antenna upright, next to the TV, and of course use the boost to get the best results. After a re-scan, I now get all of the channels I got before, all of the ones that were spotty, and a couple I didn't even know about, all with perfect clarity and sound, AND WITHOUT NEEDING ANY ADJUSTMENT. It also looks much more stylish than the rabbit ears I had before. I don't get ABC, and none of the TERK antennas were able to change that, but I am still thrilled with the results. I was seriously considering basic cable, and now I have no need for it.



Superb product. Excellent price here on Amazon. Highly recommend.

Bought to replace a pair of good old fashioned bunny ears for the DT converter box. It doesn't get any more channels than the bunny ears were able to pull in, but I've gone from repositioning the bunnies every time I change channels to only repositioning this antenna for the one channel whose tower is the opposite direction from all of the others (In North Tampa, everything but Channel 10 comes from the south, channel 10 comes from the north)



A definite improvement, but I wish I could get everything from the same position. - Hdtv Antenna - Tv Antenna - Hd Antenna - Hdtv'

Usb Cables - usb cable, usb cord


I just bought a printer, and as usual, there was no USB cable accompanying it. I looked around for USB cables that were around 6 to 10 feet long because the location of my printer is some way from my laptop. This was one of the most affordable ones that I found and it worked without a hitch. Customers buying USB printer connection cables need to find out if the connection requires a male and female contact point (most of the time it is the case), which is exactly what this cable provides. As expected, when I started printing, scanning, and faxing from my computer, all went well.



I also want to make a small comment about the delivery. I expected this product arrive in the Amazon brown box with the cable in a plastic bag thrown within it. The delivery service was actually great from Amazon, and for better insulation and protection, the cable was shipped in a fitting Mediabridge box within the Amazon brown box. So, unlike some third-party sellers on Amazon, I think that its worth highlighting this to other fellow online shoppers about such positive collateral delivery benefits if purchasing from Mediabridge through Amazon. Hope you found this review useful. Mediabridge - Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Cable - Gold Plated (10 Feet)

What can I say? It's a Mediabridge! I have never had any disappointments with Amazon Basics or Mediabridge cables. Their cables are well engineered and are constructed with durable materials. The gold-plating gives excellent conductivity and the cable appear to withstand sharp bends.

What can you say - it's a cable and it works. 10' USB printer cable for $[...] w/free shiping if you combine it with some other stuff. Compare with a $[...] gold plated cable at the big electronics store. By appearances it looks like a solid, well made cable. Like someone else mentioned - suprised and pleased to see if packaged in it's own box.

Throughput is hardware limited, length and quality were perfect - works as it's supposed to at half our local cost - no need to run mock system set up scenarios to determine whether cables will reach - get these - they'll reach. 10 feet is a LONG ways on or near a desk. - Usb Cable - Usb Cord - Printer Cable - Cable'

Kettlebell


The Altus Athletic 12-Pound 2-in-1 Power Medicine Ball and Kettlebell with DVD.



First I'll start with the BAD

* The DVD is Half Size so I can't play it in my computer.

* The Ball is a bit larger than a regular Kettlebell and it tends to hit my legs a bit when I am swinging it in Bob Harper or Jillian's DVD.

* The handle screws on and off with a hex screw. It does not come on and off quickly. Not a problem for me, cause I never take the handle off. But this could be a problem if you wanted to use the bounce feature a lot



The Good

* I was a bit worried that the ball would feel cheap when I was ordering it. But, it is a good quality rubber. You can leave it inflated so you can bounce it, or deflate it a bit so it will be a soft Medicine Ball.

* It works great as a Kettlebell

* It works great as a Medicine ball



I love mine, I use it all the time

Southpole - southpole, tees


Bought this when my work changed it color of polo to blue, back then it was under eight dollars. And let me tell you worth every penny, I came back and bought a few more at that low price. It's comfortable and form fitting which I have found can be hard for some polos. They usually just hang there showing no shape, but these don't they form to your body's natural curves. For those (not me) who don't like to wear a cami or tank underneath this is perfect. The two buttons came undone but it doesn't show too much, and the shirt goes past the hip so it doesn't rise up. All together this is one of the best polo shirts I have ever bought. Southpole Junior's Plus Size Basic Uniform Solid Color Polo, Lemon Yellow, 2X

I bought this a size bigger than usual (I wear a size 18/20 or 22/24 depending on the size.)

This size info said that a 3x is a size 26/28! I put on the shirt and it just BARELY fit me! It is tight and is horribly unflattering! It was only $3.20 when I bought it so I'm not even going to bother returning it. But SERIOUSLY this sizing is ridiculous.

The only reason that I gave this shirt a 2 is because the material is lovely and looks like it'll absorb sweat well. If you are a size 14/16 then order the 3X! It'll fit you like a glove! A large would probably fit a 8/10.

I purchased a Teen JUNIOR'S PLUS SIZE 1XL ... i finally got it and it is more sized for young Children. I had to sell them to a child that wears a children's size 10-12. The Pictured Polo is shown being worn by a teenager.. My skinny Teenager could not even wear these PLUS SIZE polos. I probably will not trust Amazon again for School Uniforms.

These are very nice shirts. They appear to be very well made. The length is great, and I love now they are made a the top. The only thing is that they run way small. I ordered my usual 2x size, and I really could have worn a 3x or 4x for comfort. - Southpole - Tees'
