Razor Blade - wiper blades, razor blade

The concept of wiper blades that leech Rain-X is brilliant. They clipped right onto our Corolla, we wiped down the windshield with the activator wipe and let them run for 3 minutes (per the directions). We then went out into the Seattle rain and watched and the water beaded up and rolled off the windshield. You barely even need to use the wipers. My one negative is that I wasn't entirely happy with how they handled snow. Since the snow isn't as wet the windshield wipers squeak and stick to the windshield a bit when trying to get powdery snow off. It did it just fine, I just hate that sound. Rain-X Repel Premium Bracketless Wiper Blade - 24"

These were exactly what I expected for the first 2 months. Now, just out of the return period, they need replaced. Both wipers only clear a portion of the windshield. The drivers side leaves a football size patch directly in front of my face. It is hard to see, even in a very light rain. I bought a similar wiper blade made by Bosch several years ago. I still have those blades on another vehicle, and the work almost as good as the day I installed them. Both vehicles are the same, the only difference is the wiper.

I would not recommend these.

These blades started streaking two days after I first installed them. One month later they are so bad that when it is raining heavy, I have to pull over on the road so I can see. I feel really bad I wasted so much money on these. Next time I'm going to try and find another brand. Other blade brands I've bought at a much cheaper price have lasted between 6-12 months.

I used the Rain X website to install these on my Volkswagen Eos, after the originals started streaking. After reading the instructions carefully and looking over the adapters I can tell you with confidence these simply do not work on a Volkswagen Eos. I saw another review for a Jetta, and the wipers are the same I'm sure.

I'm giving this 1 star because both the Rain X website, and this page said they fit. And they are lying. Looks like I'm off to order the crumby stock ones again.

I got these to replace my usual traditional blades for the summer and rubber coated blades for the winter months - to keep the snow and ice from making the summer blades useless. it's nice to have one set of blades.

These blades do a great job in the rain, and the snow too, until the ends that clip the whole thing together fell off, nearly letting the whole item come apart. Luckily it stuck together under the pressure from the arm and i got where i was going.

Also, the clip that connects the blade assembly to the wiper arm, this also came apart a few times while i was cleaning snow off of the car. so there i am with gloves off blowing on the connector to get snow out, and trying to get it to click back together. the blades i replaced these with have a diffferent style of arm connector, hoepfully it holds up better.

I replaced them with the new teflon SHIELD blades, which are also suitable for any weather, but aren't held together with the flimsy clips that RAIN-X and other beam-style blade manufacturers use.

This is one of the first wiper blades I have found that actually works great on my 2005 Equinox LT. I took the time to clean my windshield, then use the preparation wipe before installing a set of these. I have had them for a few weeks and they are still working great. I live in Pennsylvania, and we have lots of bad weather, lots of salt in the winter, etc. So far, I really recommend these! The price is steep but I think the quality more than makes up for it. Installation for my vehicle took minutes!

The Rain X wipers worked very well with My 2010 Hyundai Sonata and 2010Kia Optima. Installation for each wiper was done in less than 3 minutes from removing the old one to snapping bon the one.

The blades clean the windscreen smoothly and the rain runs off the windscreen perfectly.

I live in upstate NY and got sucker punched by the early snow storms this year. Like everyone else in the area I ran out last minute to get winter blades. These were the only blades left claiming to be winter ready. I got a 22' and a 24' for my eclipse. The 24' broke one day in. Wal-Mart was awesome with taking it back and helping me out, but two days latter the 22' also broke. I wrote rain-x and they never responded. These things are double the price of other blades and made with half quality plastic products. They cant deal with cold weather and the company they are made by doesn't believe in customer service.

Iphone Replacement Glass - apple, glass

As said above by the other buyer this item isn't a level one install. I placed a white sheet on the kitchen table and drew diagrams with a sharpie as I took each piece apart. In total there were twenty-six screws. The product arrived five days earlier then scheduled. The tool kit is also a must have especially since the screw drivers are magnetic. From start to finish I was able to replace my LCD unit in about two hours, after having to retake it apart noticing I didn't allow for enough ribbon slack to connect the display. As stated above be sure to lay everything out neatly, as there are many small items to lose. Once installed I powered it on, and looked just like the day I received it brand new! Good quality product! Apple Iphone 4 Touch Screen Digitizer + LCD Assembly + Repair Tool Kit

This is a difficult installation. There are several videos instructing how to disasemble, but the parts are very small. Received my replacement screen today and finished the install a few minutes ago. Took me about 30 minutes to disassemble/reassemble with replacement screen. Make sure that you purchase this screen with the digitizer AND LCD... some retailers are trying to peddle just the digitizer. Just the digitizer is a scam! Repeat, buy the LCD with digitizer like the one sold on this page, if you want to replace your damaged Iphone 4 screen.

I expected that this item would be as described, particularly from a "Fulfilled by Amazon' retailer. However, the listing--which clearly states that it includes the screen with digitizer, the 7 piece toolkit, and the microfiber cloth--came only with the screen/ digitizer. There was no toolkit. I contacted the seller, who said they couldn't help me as it was Fulfilled by Amazon. Amazon couldn't help as it was a third party product. I returned it for a refund and ordered another at the suggestions of the seller--but guess what the second package was also missing? Yep, toolkit and cloth.

I now see the slew of bad reviews on this item, which is CLEARLY a mislisting that Amazon should do something about considering the litany of bad reviews. Of course, the caveat emptor reviews didn't show up on the product page because they weren't considered "the most useful." Codswollop. I have been a loyal Amazon shopper for years and this is to date the worst experience I have had.

In the interest of full disclosure, the screen did work fine once replaced, but the toolkit would have made it immensely easier, and I hate being lied to by a seller about the items included in a listing.

I'm not really used to working with tiny screws, but I took my iphone apart and replaced the broken screen with ease. The 7 piece tool kit really helped out. Especially the magnetic tip on the phillips screw driver. Screen works, feels and looks great! A+ Qulaity!!!

These seller was rather incompetent at giving me a good (and correct) iPhone 4 front panel assembly. There are three reasons why I will give this product 1/5 stars. :

1. The screen was not oleophobic. Side-by-side comparisons of an original iPhone 4 glass shows that this replacement screen gives significantly more friction than the original glass.

2. The screen had a thickness that was greater than my original iPhone 4 Screen (at&t). It would be fair to warn the the end user about the fact that this could be for the Verizon iPhone so that we may return it upon finding out that it was the wrong piece (because we know that the Verizon iPhone is a little thicker)

3. The screen had a defective stream of off-colored pixels. They're barely noticeable, but will show up on a dark background by giving a small "rainbow" of pixels effect.

I challenge anyone and reproduce my claims, and I'd like an explanation for my purchase.

So far I can't be sure how the actual replacement screen is -

The 7 tools included apparently don't allow you to remove the screws required to begin the replacement process. I need a pentalobe tool for step one - why isn't this included? Or at least noted in the description so you can order that in addition?

The lack of a list of tools included (and those actually needed) is ridiculous.

I mistakingly ordered this product for my Verizon iPhone, please note that the kit is only made for the AT&T version. Itwas completely my fault, but the company gave me a full refund and they acted very professional throughout the entire process. Thus the five star rating. (the product looked like it would have worked great if it was meant for my phone)

It is a great option if you do not want to pay another $200.00 for a refurb replacement. I would like to see the part to be less expensive. I purchased it for $129.00 and it worked like a charm!!!

It is definitely not for 1st and 2nd level techs as you can easily break or bend other internal parts of the phone. You have to be very detail oriented and will have to write down instructions as you are dismantling your phone, it will make it much easier in putting it back together. Keep a tab of all the parts and screws as you progress. There are tons of how to videos on youtube.

You will definitely loose any warranty on the device, so if you think it is not worth it and your phone is still not up for an upgrade, then you should not proceed with this option in case something breaks.

Firstly it arrived quick and works great, good as new. For the iPhone 4 you need to buy the LCD and digitiser together so thanks to the other reviewers for pointing this out, as it's easy to buy something that won't work. I am very happy with the product and I have no issues with the display, crisp and clear. As others have said this isn't a straightforward install. I wouldn't say it's very hard (great Zeetron videos on YouTube) but you have to have a lot of patience and be organised. It is time consuming more than anything and you need to take your time to get it right.

I was tempted to give it only 4 stars as I needed to buy an additional screwdriver to open the two bottom screws "Pentalobe Screwdriver Size TS1 for iPhone 4" to remove the cover but this popped up right away on Amazon when I ordered and it was only a few bucks (again thanks to other reviewers for pointing this out). Seller should correct this but the rest of the tools were spot on. But sticking with 5 stars as overall I'm very happy with the product, the price was great and it really should be about the LCD and digitiser. The tools were a bonus. - Apple - Glass - Screen - Iphone'

Pre-kindergarte - wooden toys, pre-kindergarte

Visit Store Now !!

I recently bought this toy for grandchildren, ages 3 and younger, for when they are at my house.

Previous reviews complained that the shapes of numbers 5 and 6 might be confusing, and so I avoided this purchase for a while. BUT, the one I bought is NEW and the 5 is the pentagon shape and the 6 is the hexagon shape, so that is no longer a concern. Look at the picture of the product above - today the picture I am looking at on this page shows the correct shapes for 5 and 6, so it appears that Melissa and Doug have corrected this problem! If you were to purchase an older or used version of this clock be aware that it may have the wrong shapes - but the newest ones I would presume are correct. Mine is.

I rate this toy 5-star. It is certainly not a bells and whistles toy, no noises, no lights. Thank goodness. But I think there is a lot of value in this toy.

This is a concrete hands-on way for children to begin learning about not only clocks, but also shapes, order of numbers, and more, depending on the age and stage of the child. It is a toy that can grow with a child, one to be taken out and used for a while, then as interest wanes, put it away for a while, and then bring it out later for a child to explore at a different stage.

Please keep in mind that children will probably get more value out of any toy, where a parent, grandparent, teacher, sibling, babysitter, etc. first sits down and talks with the child about the toy and maybe models how the child might use the toy. Then expect them to try using it for different things - like stacking, or pretending that one piece or another is food for a doll, or whatever - and that is OK too - keep in mind kids learn in different ways than we might expect. (Of course keep an eye on younger children to make sure they are not putting pieces in their own mouths, pretending it is their own food!)

There is obvious shape-matching value for younger children.

A child might take the shapes outside of the "puzzle" and line them up - in numeric order, or just to compare shapes, colors or whatever.

With an older child, you might introduce time-telling vocabulary, in relationship to where the clock hands are. Melissa & Doug Wooden Shape Sorting Clock

This is a fairly attractive clock. We've had it around for the past couple of years and it's seen a fair amount of play. I had bought it hoping it would be acknowledged as a clock, perhaps used as a learning tool of sorts, but neither of my children have ever played with it this way. Instead they remove the pieces, scatter them about, sometimes (rarely) use it as a puzzle, but mostly they just like those small brightly-colored wooden pieces. Which is a shame. The pieces are rapidly losing paint, and Melissa and Doug just isn't a company I trust enough to have their paint chips floating around in my children's environment. Their toys are made in China, and they've already had a recall in Canada for excessive barium in toys. I didn't even know toys could have excessive barium until I read about that recall.

That's not my only gripe.

When I bought this clock, I assumed it was wooden. But when you remove the pieces, it is clear that the material the base is made of is MDF, you can see the unfinished MDF inside the holes. Later, when the pieces begin to lose paint, you find that they too, not surprisingly, are made of MDF. So my first gripe with this puzzle is one I have with a great number of Melissa and Doug products: They advertise a wooden toy, and it's deceptive marketing.

Okay, so Melissa and Doug fudged a little on their description. What might have been wood once upon a time is now thinly pressed layers of sawdust and resin, but it was wood in a previous life, and that still counts, right? It's intentionally deceptive marketing, but does any of that really matter in the practical sense?

I think it does.

Medium density fiberboard (MDF) is nasty stuff. Containing a higher resin-to-wood ration than any other pressed wood product, MDF emits VOCs for at least a few months after manufacture and emits urea formaldehyde for the duration of its life. I doubt there have been any studies on using pressed wood for a child's toy that may be mouthed and is nonetheless handled frequently and in close proximity to their faces during day-to-day play. There have been studies suggesting urea formaldehyde is a suspected carcinogen; others show that incidences of leukemia and lymphoma increase through prolonged exposure of VOCs in the indoor environment.

Bottom line, most MDF is not something you want in your home in any form, and it's probably not the best thing to make a child's toy out of. There are ways to manufacture MDF which use resins that do not contain formaldehyde which are supposed to be environmentally friendly. I contacted Melissa and Doug to find out if they use these formaldehyde-free resins in their MDF. They've got really friendly customer service, but no one available could provide me with that information. I was told they'd get back to me. I'm still waiting.

In the meantime, I think I'll just stick with the old adage: You get what you pay for.

For three times the cost of this clock, you can buy a very similar one that *is* made of wood (not MDF, not particle board, not plywood) in the USA: Hickory Dickory Dock Clock. If I had it to do over, I would do exactly that. It doesn't have the fantastic range of colors, but I guess it just depends on your priorities. I want a safer toy, one I feel good about my kids playing with. I want a toy without MDF, heavy metals, and other toxic substances. I don't feel confident this Melissa and Doug clock fits the bill.

First off, we are incredibly big fans of Melissa and Doug toys. Many of their great products have found a home in our house for years. We had very high hopes for this clock, and perhaps it is partly our fault for waiting until our son was almost 4 to introduce it to him. We truly wanted this as a teaching time toy, as he already knows his numbers and shapes. We had two problems, first, the hands do not stay in the clock face. I'm not sure if this is a universal design or if it's a fluke on ours. Also, when I try and hold the clock face vertical or almost vertical for demonstrating to our son, all the puzzle numbers fall out easily. Little things, but those are the issues my family had. As such, it became just a puzzle of sorts, which lost my son's attention after about 1 minute. - Shapes - Clock - Pre-kindergarte - Wooden Toys'

Perfect size for average mat (would definitely fit a thick one) and even a average size towel. Front pocket big enough to hold phone and some cash. I love the front attachment - perfect for keys. Material softer than expected - nice!

I use it when I ride my bike to yoga class. The strap is adjustable, and it doesn't slide around on my shoulders.

My only complaint is that the green looks much brighter on line. It's not really a grass green - more on the khaki side. I like the bag enough to make peace with that.

Also perfect for guys or anyone tired of the whole lotus blossom look that seems to dominate yoga style. prAna Unisex Yoga Mat Holder, Black, One Size

I've got a plump prAna yoga mat, so I needed a bag that was big enough for the mat to fit inside easily (in other words, no straining and stuffing). And I wanted something without much of a design. This bag ticks both those boxes. It's also large enough for a modest-sized towel to slide in along with the mat. On the outside, it has a velco-flapped pocket to hold things like gym passes, a plastic clip for other parcels to be attached to it, and a carrying strap. A good value for the money--I'm very happy with it.

I use this bag to transport my Jade Harmony yoga mat. It's perfect. Adjustable shoulder strap makes carrying on bike or moto very easy. Has a pocket for keys, wallet, etc... Looks great and is pretty well made.

Highly recommended.

I must have spent about two days searching both online and offline stores (all over Amazon, Google Shopping, Paragon, Lulu Lemon etc) for a yoga mat bag and I have to say I am very happy with this choice. First of all, the color is lovely, understated but still has character. I feel like my mat can breathe (it could stand a little more mesh to let air go through the mat but by loosely rolling my mat, the bottom mesh works fine, my mat doesn't stink or anything) and best of all there is room for my Aurorae Classic Yoga Mats - Ultra Thick, Extra Long with Rising Moon Focal point Icon, Illuminating Colors, Eco Safe, Free from Phthalates and Latex which is extra long and thick AND a water bottle AND a towel. I'm sure I could fit more in there if I tried. The carrying strap can be adjusted around 5-6 inches depending if you want it just over one shoulder or around both of them. The strap isn't amazing but it works fine. I just love this thing, it has everything I want from a mat bag.

*Note; I've only had it for a few weeks so I don't know how long it will last but it feels well-made so I think there's a few years to it. - Yoga Accessories - Yoga Bags - Yoga - Yoga Mats'

It's very compact but very well sides and I have big hands. The quality is pretty good, feels sturdy and nice punch with the buttons. The mouse wheel is great, it's actually the same size as those on full sized mouse so there is no problem using it. The retractable cords are also very well made.

Highly recommended. Belkin USB Mobile Retractable Mouse (Black)

The mouse is very compact. But it feels well built and really tracks well on all the surfaces I have tried. I had a less well built mouse before that did not track as well on certain surfaces. I am happy with this purchase.

I have this mouse in pink from Target.

I think I'm in love with it to an almost inappropriate extent; it handles well, the retractable feature is easy and handy and the size is perfect to pop it in my shoulder bag when I'm on the go.

But I'm going to have to agree with some other reviews- the clicker is loud!

The mouse works great but it only lasted 30 days. I read another review that stated the same thing. :-( At first i thought it was an isolated incident but this is my 4th mouse. THIS PRODUCT IS COMPLETE GARBAGE!

I had this mouse 108 days as a backup. During that time it was stored in a desk drawer and brought out for use with my Netbook about four times. On the fifth time it worked fine. I walked away from the machine for a few hours and returned to find it's little red light out. That was it. Game over. Junk.

I've had a Kensington retractable mouse for two years that has travels every day in a backpack and been all over the country. It still works. I'll replace this backup mouse with another Kensington.

Nice little mouse, but I have had two now, and neither has lasted a year. Before it goes down completely, it starts stuttering... have to move it twice to get it going. My 2nd just stopped working after maybe 7 months.

loved the mouse, but had it only a short time and it stopped working. i couldn't figure out why, then i discovered the little pads on the bottom were missing. I don't know if or where i can buy more, but i only have 2 out of four. so i put one at the top and another at the bottom and lo and behold -- it works again.

if anyone knows if these are sold separately anywhere please respond...

This Belkin mouse it pretty cool for its size! Im a college student and I needed a small yet usable mice to go along with my Toshiba Satellite A505 laptop. I did not want to spend too much money on the mouse because it would be only used for a laptop, i could have paid about $10-12 more for a larger full mouse. But for the price its good quality and really good for college kids and for a traveling person. The retractable cord is ideal for a traveling person and for a college student as myself who is always having to unplug things from her laptop on the desk to take it to class. The scroll wheel is nice for a mouse this size. Optical sensor mainly used to indicate that the mouse it on. Mouse is great on all surfaces pretty much...the track ball moves very well. I love the fact that there is no SOFTWARE to install. Overall great, I would definitely buy another one. - Optical Mouse - Netbook Mouse - Mini Mouse - Retractable Cable'
