BoxWave HTC EVO 3D DuoSuit - Slim-Fit Ultra Durable TPU Case with Stylish "S" Design on Back - HTC

BoxWave HTC EVO 3D DuoSuit - Slim-Fit Ultra Durable TPU Case with Stylish 'S' Design on Back - HTC EVO 3D Cases and CoversI bought this for my wife's HTC EVO V. It's okay. It was a little loose at the top around the power button. She didn't like it--said it made the power button hard to use. We replaced it with a different case after three days. It's better than no case at all, but there are better cases out there.

USB Data Cable for Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000/SGH-T849 (Black)

USB Data Cable for Samsung Galaxy Tab GT-P1000/SGH-T849The cable is an alternative to the original Samsung USB cable. This cable is slightly thinne than the original but works well. The orientation is not easy at first, as there is not any logo on the facing side when inserted in the mobile handset. It's a good companion at work if you keep the original cable at home. The price is high as there is not any alternative on the high street market. It's good to know that the iPhone, iPad USB cables are not compatible with Samsung Galaxy Tab.

EMPIRE Black Stylus Pointer for Nokia Lumia 822

EMPIRE Black Stylus Pointer for Nokia Lumia 822Having looked at a number of these things, I have to conclude that they all are not much more than a stick, any way you look at it. And, as such, shouldn't cost 15 to 40 dollars. This one does not. That pleases me.

It glides smoothly, and the clip is solid.

I do wish it was another inch longer, but that is because I have big hands. My wife finds hers to be perfect.

The hole for a cord is a sharp idea, but what to attach the cord to?

All in all, one of the best buys I've made this year.

Samsung Galaxy NoteII 2 Leather Case - GT-N7100 - Ultra Thin Flip Top Type - PDair (Black)

Samsung Galaxy NoteII 2 Leather Case - GT-N7100 - Ultra Thin Flip Top Type - PDairThis is the case I am using. I ordered a couple of others (one by mistake), but this is the case of choice for now. Good leather, good feel, good fit. It is a little wider than the other cases,by a fraction of an inch (not bulky though), but the extra width keeps me from hitting the side buttons by accident. Case flips open, holds open by magnetism; flips closed, holds closed by magnetism. One of the other cases (Evecase--see review) has a slightly more compactness to it, looks less bulky, is made of good leather, but the perfect fit of the case leaves the side buttons of the Galaxy Note II more exposed, causes frequent hitting of the volume level and on/off button.

I am pleased with this PDair case.

Fosmon® Premium Quality Transparent Snap On Crystal Clear Hard Protective Cover Case for HTC Ozone

FosmonĀ® Premium Quality Transparent Snap On Crystal Clear Hard Protective Cover Case for HTC Ozone VX6175 / VX-6175 with Belt ClipIf you are buying this because of the belt clip, move on. The clip unscrews itself from the case and eventually just cracks off. On the other hand, if your buying this for a case, like I did, it works great. Simpally do not attach the belt clip mount to the back and its a perfectly good case. FYI, if the belt clip attachment is not used, a small(1//4 x 1/4 inch) square hole will be on the back. Does not interfere or hinder anything. Its just there.

Wacom Intuos2 9 x 12 - Mouse, digitizer, stylus - 12 x 9 in - electromagnetic - 5 button(s) - wired

Wacom Intuos2 9 x 12 - Mouse, digitizer, stylus - 12 x 9 in - electromagnetic - 5 button(s) - wired - USB - blue - retailI've been using the Wacom Intuos2 9X12 Graphics Tablet at my job for roughly the last six months...The bottom line, it's just a great product..Here's why...

I won't go through all of the features of this tablet, because you can read that in any other review on this site, but I will tell you what I use it for, and what I like and dislike about it. (And there isn't really anything that I DISLIKE about it.)

Right out of the box, I could tell that this was a well built product. It's not overly light, and it just feels "strong", if that makes any sense. It feels sturdy. In the box was the tablet itself, the pen, the mouse, some very easy to understand instruction, and 2 cd's. One for the installation of the tablet, and the other for the installation of the software that comes with it. Procreate painter classic, and Photoshop.

Installation was a breeze. Plugged it in, put in the cd, clicked "yes" a few times, and I was using it. (I'll note here that I use mine on a VERY beefed up Gateway system running Windows XP Pro) After the simple installation, I took it for its first test drive. I put the pen on the tablet, and starting moving it around. Let me tell you, it took some getting used to. But don't worry, I felt like I was a pro at it after about 10 minutes or so. The toughest part for me to get used to while doing sketches was to not look at the tablet while drawing, as you would while doing a drawing on paper. Looking at the screen and not looking at my drawing hand was a new experience, but once again, I felt fine with it after 15 minutes or so.

So after I felt pretty good about using the pen on the tablet, next I moved to the wireless, battery-less mouse that came with it....To put it simply, I didn't like it at all! It seemed to glide really fast across the tablet, and it just seemed extremely light and just hard to use. After trying it out for a few minutes, I put the Wacom mouse in the desk drawer, and that's where it has stayed for the last 6 months. Maybe I could have gotten used to the feel of it with more time, but I didn't get this thing for the mouse, I got it for the pressure sensitive pen!

I got to work right away using the tablet for the art that I do for work. Plainly put, it makes it 100 times more fun, faster, and easier using a pen instead of a mouse. Let alone a pressure sensitive pen like this one. The kind of work that I use it for is things like designing logos, architectural sketches, taking something out of a photo that doesn't need to be there, etc. And I use the Procreate Painter Classic that it comes with almost exclusively for this kind of art work. I use Photoshop to do most of the coloring, and straightening up of a piece of work.

In conclusion, this is a fantastic product, from a company that I really "trust". I heard about the company when I started to talk to fellow artists in my area about good tablets, and they all said that Wacom's Tablets are the kind to go with. I now see why! Theirs is the only brand of tablet I've ever used, and the only one I ever care to use. I see no reason to venture off to other products, because I'm completely happy with the Wacom Brand.

Like I said above, I use the 9X12 size. I believe they make them 2 sizes smaller, and two sizes bigger. But for what I use it for, 9X12 is DEFINETLY big enough, and I can see no reason to go any bigger.

All in all, great product from a great company, and if you can get one, you should. Even if only for play.

To let you know how much I stand behind this product and this company, I recently ordered a Wacom Graphire2 4X5 tablet STRICTLY for myself, for home use. Just to have fun with. I'll write a review of the Graphire2 when I get it and test it out. But from what I've already heard about them, they're just as good of a product as the Intuos2 that I use now.

To sum it all up, this is a great product all around.

Palm 3177WW Screen Protectors Multipack

Palm 3177WW Screen Protectors MultipackWhile the price is pretty good, these are significantly more difficult to install than most of the pre-cut screen protectors. Having to cut them out is annoying, especially as small errors in sizing can make them not fit.

Worse, they're just *too* adhesive. I had to try three different times before I got one installed well enough to be usable, and I still ended up with a few trapped air bubbles which were impossible to remove. And you won't reuse one; if you have to peel it off, you might as well just toss it. I found installing two different models of pre-cut screen protectors to be much easier... no cutting, no air bubbles, perfect fit.

The other significant difference is the feel. Palm's screen protectors have a somewhat "soft" surface and feel more like the original screen; most other brands have a harder surface which is glare free, but also make writing slightly more difficult.

The price is hard to argue with, and if you use multiple Palms it's a lot easier to keep track of just one package of screen protectors. But it'll probably take a few tries to get one to fit, and it'll be sheer luck if you can get one installed without any trapped bubbles.

I own two Palm devices. The precut screen protectors I've tried sometimes don't fit and are often, in my opinion, obscenely overpriced.

This package represents a barely reasonable compromise between price, convenience and usability.

The price is great.

The convenience however is marginal. You get a sheet that has the outlines of most popular Palm devices printed on the back. The object is to cut along the outline of your device and, voila, you have a screen protector that fits.

That's the idea --the reality is different.

The outlines, at least for my two devices, are dimensionally accurate along the vertical dimension IF you cut precisely along the outside perimeter of the outline. Got that? You must cut on the outside of the line. Cut along the middle of the line or on the inside of the line and your finished screen protector will be too short along the vertical.

Worse, the horizontal printed outlines are too small. Cut along the outside of the horizontal lines and you wind up with about 1/16th of an inch too little on either side.

Fortunately I had a rotary cutter available, the kind used by quilters and craftspeople. I wouldn't want to try cutting these with scissors.

The adhesive is just about right to create a good bond with the screen while still having enough give to allow for removal or repositioning. (By the way, a wooden toothpick works well for lifting applied screen protectors. Just be careful.)

In short, the Palm screen protectors are needlessly frustrating to prepare and install. Once down, they serve the purpose and the price, compared to the competition, can't be beat.

Palm really owes users of this product an apology for the poor printing of the template outlines. There's no excuse for this slovenliness.

Buy Palm 3177WW Screen Protectors Multipack Now

These screen protectors are great! I was really worried after reading some negative reviews about this product, and almost bought a different screen protector (for about half the price of these, but you only got one). I'm glad I didn't. These screen protectors are easy to install, I had no problems with bubbles, and if they ever wear out, I have 12 more! Yes... you have to cut them to fit, but the guides are easy to follow. Simply find the pattern you need and cut along the line. Now here is the tricky part... do NOT peel the entire protector off the sheet! THAT is how you get bubbles! Peel just alittle bit of the protector off the sheet and start at the top of your palm. The sheet is sticky, so take your time placing the sheet. It will determine if your protector will align correctly when you make it to the bottom of your screen. There is a piece of plastic (similar to a credit card) in the box. You are going to use this to start at the top of the screen, and push toward the bottom, slowly pulling the protector off the paper and installing it bubble free as you go. Do this slowly so that if you get bubbles, you can reapply that section to the paper, and fix the problem right then. I imagine if you pulled the entire protector off the paper all at once you'd have a sticky mess, and lots of bubbles if you managed to get it on your screen at all. If you look closely at the directions you'll see a diagram showing the process I just described. It's easy! If you follow my directions (they are a bit more descriptive than those on the box), and use the diagram, you will not be disappointed. It's a great value!!

As some previous reviewers have noted, the size when cut might be slightly smaller than your screen, for my TX it was 0.5-1 mm. However, unless you actually intend to write in the outer 0.5 mm of the screen you will hardly notice it.

The application is as difficult as it gets. My tip is to use a credit card, or similar, as help. Apply it at one edge, and then use the card sliding over the screen protector as you apply it, in order to remove any bubbles.

The feel is great when writing on it.

Want Palm 3177WW Screen Protectors Multipack Discount?

I chose this product over the $12.95 boxwave protector, because I am a cheapskate (and proud of it). I have not tried other screen protectors, so I am basing my review totally on my experience with them alone for my T|X. I am totally happy with my purchase and do not regret purchasing them, but the saying, you get what you paid for definitely applies here somewhat when it comes to ease of application. Let me list things to consider.

1. They are not easy to apply as one reviewer stated, because if you think 'easy' means done in less than one minute and mistakes can be corrected then it's not easy. I messed up my first one :p, so I had my husband who has more patience and good with his hands to do the next one. BUT, I believe I would have been able to successfully apply it on my second try after learning what not to do. Be very careful about dust, hairs, etc. that's what messed up my first try.

2. Yes, listen to the reviewer that said follow the directions peel off little at a time and use the card that's included. You're lucky if you got zero bubbles, but if you get small little ones, don't fret. After my husband applied the protector for me, there was still two little bubbles bothering the hell out of me. I use the cloth included with the package to gently smooth it out. It did get smaller, but didn't completely disappear. I gave up and was satisfied with the results anyway. I left it overnight and used it the next morning, the bubbles were gone. I guess it settles a bit after awhile, but I would guess it depends on the size of your air bubbles.

3. Don't buy them if you don't have sharp scissors or the patience to cut them. I wouldn't recommend cutting them exactly so it fits the screen without the edges showing. It makes it harder to peel off and having little extra space gives you some leeway for mistakes. The template for the T|X was perfect for me. If people read the description before purchasing, they knew they had to cut them to size. So, it's ridiculous to complain about having to cut them.

FYI, I thought the reviewer Bob Manson was most helpful and accurate :) Bottom line I'm only rating them 4 stars, because of the difficulty I had in applying them :P But, perhaps, the price makes up for it. Remember patience and steadiness if you don't have them, don't purchase these protectors.

Koolertron 2.4GHz Mini Wireless Air Fly Mouse/Keyboard

Koolertron 2.4GHz Mini Wireless Air Fly Mouse/KeyboardI've been a longtime HTPC user and have used the Gyration Air Music Remote for several years. The remote was finally starting to break down, so I was searching for a new alternative and tried the Gyration Air Mouse Elite, Cideko Wireless Air Keyboard, and finally found my perfect replacement in the Koolertron Air Fly Mouse & Keyboard.

First Things First:

I really liked my Gyration Air Music Remote, however, virtually ALL the buttons were essentially useless, save 3 critical buttons: the mouse Left, Right and Cursor-Float buttons -all 3 were laid out perfectly and easy to use with just my thumb. The ease with which I could wave the remote and move the cursor onscreen, coupled with the simplicity of the left, right and cursor-float buttons, made this remote invaluable to my HTPC experience. But, all the other buttons on the remote were essentially useless, and the LCD screen was much too small to serve any real function. Also, the remote was sorely lacking a scroll wheel which made surfing the web tedious and cumbersome. But there weren't any better alternatives, so I was happy to keep using my Air Music Remote until the right-click button broke, and I needed to find a replacement.

The Contenders:

Gyration Air Mouse Elite: At first I thought I would just buy a new Air Music Remote, but they've been discontinued; likely because the remote only had 3 useful buttons on it. So naturally, I decided to check out Gyration's latest iteration of their Air remotes. I tried the Gyration Air Mouse Elite for a solid month, but it just didn't work right. Gyration took 2 steps forward, 3 steps back on that one. I really wanted to like it, because I thought the onscreen keyboard and gesture commands to be a really nifty idea. Only problem was, nothing else on the remote worked properly, especially the all important cursor-float button. The cursor-float button was positioned underneath the remote, like a trigger. Not a bad idea, if only it would function properly. All too often, I'd have to click the trigger repeatedly, just to get it to register. Like the Air Music Remote, if you click and hold the cursor-float button, you can move the cursor around the screen, and then just let go to stop. If you want a free-flow cursor, just click the cursor-float button twice, and you can wave the cursor around the screen freely, without having to hold down the button. This is a crucial feature of any air mouse, and the Gyration Air Mouse Elite failed miserably in this regard. Single clicks were often registered as double, and I'd literally have to pull the trigger on the cursor-float button dozens of times to get it to disengage. With all due respect, it was like Katherine Hepburn trying to use that remote; the cursor would jitter wildly around the screen, and was a constant nuisance. The remote itself was designed as a table top mouse first, and a hand-held remote second. It's almost as if Gyration completely abandoned their revolutionary air mouse and it was more of an afterthought in this design. As a mouse, the Elite worked fine on a desk top, however, ergonomically it functioned horribly when hand-held. It was uncomfortable to hold, and unnatural to reach any of the buttons that needed to be used in conjunction. After using it for just over a month, Amazon agreed to issue me a refund, even though I was just outside of their return policy. Thank You, Amazon! What a relief it was to finally get rid of that piece of junk.

Cideko Wireless Air Keyboard: This was my next contender, but the remote has one critical flaw -the cursor-float button requires 2 hands to operate, making it needlessly tedious. I liked the idea of having a small keyboard right on the remote, but the cursor-float button is one that gets used a lot. So the poor design made me quickly reject this contender.

*Fanfare* ...Ta-Dah!

Enter The Koolertron Air Fly Mouse & Keyboard:

The first thing I noticed about the Koolertron Air Fly Mouse, is it had the exact same mouse left/right and cursor-float buttons as my old Gyration Air Music Remote. The next striking feature, was that it also doubled as a hand-held keyboard. And on top of that, it was half the price of that terrible Gyration Elite! I found a video for the Koolertron remote on YouTube, was instantly sold, and ordered off Amazon right away. When the remote arrived, I was very pleased that it functioned much like my old Air Music Remote, only this iteration had the benefit of a full keyboard as well. I instantly took to the remote, and it's been working perfectly for me right out of the box. Gyration could learn a thing or two about air remotes from Koolertron. This remote is comfortable in the hand, easy to use with just my thumbs, whether I'm just using the mouse buttons, or if I turn it sideways, and start typing with the keyboard. Gold Stars all the way around!

Who Needs A Scroll Wheel?

About the only thing I really liked on the Gyration Elite was the scroll wheel. It made surfing the web much more convenient when scrolling down long pages. However, like any scroll wheel, it was lacking in precision, and I often found it scrolling either too much or too little, and changing the settings in the Control Panel did little to help. On the flipside, Koolertron doesn't have a scroll wheel, which concerned me at first. But I soon learned that it has something waaaay better: Page Up and Page Down buttons, and also 4 arrow buttons. !! These buttons are far superior than any pesky scroll wheel. When I'm using my laptop, my mouse's scroll wheel gets a lot of use, however, when you're talking HTPC, Page Up/Down and Arrow buttons are far superior and faster to use. I can scroll down documents and web pages with speed and precision, like never before. Hold down any of those buttons, and it moves through pages at lightning speed. It's much easier than moving the cursor to the scroll bar, and then double-clicking the cursor-float button to drag the scroll bar up and down. This would be the advantage of Koolertron having a full keyboard on their remote.

Function & Media Keys:

The Gyration Elite had 4 buttons on the center of the mouse, 3 of which could be custom programmed; this would have been useful, if the rest of the mouse wasn't so tragic. By contrast, the Koolertron has a full keyboard with all 12 function keys across the top, and most of them double as media keys for email, music control, mute and volume control. Using the keyboard is a lot like typing a text message on your SmartPhone. The keys are soft to the touch, yet responsive and easy to use. I get NO skipped letters at all while typing, which even my full size wireless keyboard can't boast. It does take a bit of getting used to, because the keyboard is split in the center, where the mouse keys are. But I've taken to it quite quickly; and know that it will be indispensable.

Wireless Range:

The Koolertron has flawless wireless connectivity; I get no drop-outs or signal interruptions of any kind. And the USB transmitter is very tiny; you could easily plug it in to a laptop and just leave it there, even during transport, because it is so small. Perfect! On the flipside, the Gyration Elite, which costs twice as much, had constant signal interruptions, compounding the remote's already cumbersome operation; abysmal by comparison to Koolertron.

No Frills Packaging:

Clearly Koolertron came direct from China, which is fine with me. The packaging is more like Amazon's Frustration Free; just a plain box with the remote inside. It does come with batteries, which is a huge bonus, that a lot of companies have decided to scrimp on. The instructions are just a one page photocopy, but then there's really nothing complicated about using this remote. The USB transmitter is smartly housed inside the battery compartment, where it can easily be removed and plugged into your computer, or stored for travel. The Gyration Elite was rechargeable, and held a charge for about a week. However, it was a little quirky sometimes when placing it on the charging stand, and didn't always kick in and start charging without being coaxed.

No-Brainer Set-up:

For Koolertron, just plug in the USB transmitter and the drivers install automatically, and you're good to go. For Gyration Elite, you also needed to install their software, so that you could program the gesture functions; it was a nice gimmick that rarely worked properly.

Good Construction:

I've read other reviews that have complained about the "cheap plastic feel" used on the Koolertron remote. Personally that has not been my experience. The remote has a high gloss black finish, that looks like glossy airbrushed paint. Thankfully, there's no industrial smells associated with that. Maybe Koolertron took the other reviews to heart, and refinished the plastic housing for this remote. To me, it feels great in the hand, well balanced and comfortable to hold and use. The keys are cushiony rubber that feel good to the touch, and the remote does not feel cheap to me at all. By contrast, the Gyration Elite felt cumbersome in the hand, because it was designed as a desktop remote first, and it seems how it functioned while held in the hand was something Gyration didn't even bother to consider.

Shipping:

For some reason, there's been some talk about the Koolertron remote taking 4-6 weeks to ship. Mine shipped direct from Amazon, with the same delivery time as any of their products.

Bottom Line:

Sure, the Gyration Elite had a more polished presentation, but what good is that, if it doesn't work right? Form definitely didn't follow function. By contrast, Koolertron may not have all the slick packaging frills, but guess what? It works flawlessly. I love my Koolertron remote so much, I almost want to buy a second one, so I'm never without it. But I fully expect it to last me many years. And I'm quite happy that I found such a great alternative to my old Gyration Air Music Remote. Take notice, Gyration, Koolertron has kicked your butt with their Air Fly Mouse/Keyboard!

This is truly an exceptional product.

I had been looking at how to stick it to the cable company for some time by hooking my computer to my TV but encountered the inconvenience of having to get up all the time or have a wireless mouse & keyboard sitting on the coffee table. I searched high and low and low and behold I found this product. I was skeptical at 1st because there were no reviews anywhere for this product but it was just what I was looking for so I gave it a chance.

I was not disappointed. This thing works just as described and because it uses motion sense tech instead of reading positioning like a WII remote it's not as sensitive and jerky. It looks great and with windows 7 it was completely plug and play. Looks just like a remote. It does take some getting used to but I was off and running in no time. Highly recommend this product.

I bought this because it had some rave reviews and there is certainly a lot of potential with this device. You press on a button and the mouse pointer becomes active. As you move the remote like a pointer the mouse pointer moves with it. Once you let up on the button the mouse pointer freezes. So far so go. What hurts this device is the feel and sensitivity of the plastic and the buttons. The keyboard routinely misses key presses. Since I can't touch type on such a small device, I have to constantly look at the screen to see if the button press took and back at the keyboard to find the next key. Awkkkk Ward! Don't even bring up the concept of clicking and dragging on something to highlight or drag and drop...practically impossible.

I use this mini-keyboard remote for my HTPC and at the barest level it works...but the cost is too high for the feel and frankly I don't think it would hold up to much use. We'll see.

Pros: super easy to set up. Novel pointing mechanism for wireless mouse. Full QWERTY keyboard.

Cons: super cheap feel in your hand, poor quality buttons that often don't register, too expensive for functionality.

The mouse part creeps up the screen and after a while l got tired of fighting it and went back to the regular mouse and keyboard. .l probably got a bad one but by the time I ship it back I will have paid more than the premium device. That's what I get for being nickel pinching cheap-skate

So I got an Android stick PC to plug into my TV, and needed this to interact with it. The one good thing about this keyboard/mouse combo was that it worked without any hassle no drivers, no issues, nothing. Plug in and go.

The problem is that you need direct line of sight between the USB dongle and the remote for it to receive. Also, the sensitivity of the motion sensor can be really flaky and just lose alignment. I get that people like the idea of an air mouse but this really needs a built-in adjustable sensitivity or method of calibration that works. Also, the top part of the remote is the transmitter, so if you turn this sideways to use it as a keyboard, it's useless.

I bought on Amazon and am returning it this thing doesn't nearly work as well as advertised. Also, three THREE AAA batteries are required. Not USB rechargeable, not worth your time and money.

Delkin Pop-Up LCD Shade 2.5' BlackI agree with Jim's June 2009 review of this product. The prices are all over the place and I can't figure out why. I just ordered 2 more @ $6.99 each with free shipping from an Amazon.com vendor. Other prices here are up to $25.00. Why???

My pkg also had a $24.99 retailer price tag on the package. Keep your receipt and package insert info. The item's packaging insert says there is a 2 yr. warranty. I have read of issues with the plastic wings and hinges. I assume this would be covered under warranty.

I plan to be gentle with mine and I think it will last. It certainly does the job. I tried a Flipbac and cannot figure out what the value is in that product. If you don't take pictures from low or odd angles, I think it is worthless. And.....since a mirror is involved, all the info on your camera's LCD screen is reversed.....Try reading "turn on flash" backwards.....

This product makes it easier to see my camera's LCD screen in the sun and that's just what I needed !

REALLY HELPS AT THE BEACH WHERE YOU HAVE SUNLIGHT GLARE FROM OCEAN, SAND, & SKY. ALLOWS YOU TO VIEW LCD SCREEN.

I have had to replace my Delkin sunscreen 2-3 times, as the little "feet" eventually break off with lots of use--still they are well worth it. I just bought several so I'll have a replacement handy. They are very effective in permitting one to see the LCD screen in sunlight and on bright days.

I had a tough time finding this model at Amazon. It doesn't show up on the list that's presented first, but finally as an "also considered" some pages later. The silver model is being sold up front, with this one in the rear. The prices were all over the place for what looks identical. This was called a "Universal 2.5" shade", but mine was marked "Canon EOS SD". My camera screen is close enough for the sticky parts to find a surface, but a 2.7" would be closer to the actual frame dimensions. This will do the job and seems easy enough to snap off for indoor shooting, but I don't know how many times it will come off without pulling the frame off with it. Another confusion was the prices I found at Amazon. The price tag (apparently store stock) was $24.99 and the price online was $6.99 with free shipping. Look before you leap and find what you're looking for or pay the price.

rooCASE Neoprene Sleeve (Red) Carrying Case for Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB Ultra-portable Drive U

rooCASE Neoprene Sleeve Carrying Case for Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex 1TB Ultra-portable Drive USB 3.0 STAA1000104 SilverI have purchased several Seagate drives and have always purchased the rooCases to store and protect the drives. The cases are lightweight yet sufficiently padded to protect your external drives. The rooCases are reasonably priced, very attractive, and come with convenient zipped pouch and convenient strap. I was pleased to find that although the Seagate Flexdrives have been replaced with the Seagate Backup Plus drives, the new drives are the same size as the older model and still fit perfectly in my rooCases as well. I have 5 or 6 cases in various colors and they all are very attractive looking. I would highly recommend this product.

The case fits the GoFlex perfectly, and the side pouch for the cable makes sure it doesn't scratch the case. I wish the padding were a little thicker, though.

PDA-44: Replacement Stylus for Dell Axim X50, X50v, X51, X51v

PDA-44: Replacement Stylus for Dell Axim X50, X50v, X51, X51vShipping was good and that's it. the pen was bent when I got it. I was afraid to put too much tension on it trying to bend it back, so im just dealing with it. it's not like it cost a large chunk of change.

The Stylus by Dell (the original one) is perfect.It fits just right into the PDA slot and doesn't fall out.Also its very light but at the same time strong.It glides very smoothly over the LCD without damaging it.

The Dell brand stylus is the one I recommend.

I lost my old stylus, and this is the perfect replacement. I got the 3 pack, just in case I lose it again.

I especially like the fact that the stylus has an integrated pen. Knowing that I always have my Axim with me, I know that I always have a pen with me. Of course, it is really lightweight and has a great feel during use. Of course, if by chance you need to reset the Axim, this stylus facilitates that also.

My hx2415 original battery went bad, actually swelled up and the battery cover wouldn't snap on. Searched Amazon and found this vendor. For the price I figured I'd roll the dice and at worst I was out 11 bucks. The battery came as described and fit perfectly into my hx2415. Charged it up over night and it holds a charge better than the original. I recommend the battery and seller. Thanks.

I do not recommend buying this replacement battery. It worked perfectly at the beginning but is now dead after only 4 months of use.

Placed battery in HP iPAQ and charged overnight. After verifying that the iPAQ saw the battery as 100%, I removed the iPAQ from the charger and tested functionality. In less than 5 minutes, the battery charge went to 0% and the iPAQ shut down. Repeated process a couple of times with same result. Checked against the original battery (which has a life of only a few hours due to age), and found the iPAQ with the original battery gave accurate battery capacity readings.

I'm returning the battery for a refund.

I bought this as a replacement for the original battery, which would not hold a charge.

This seems to work fine so far (1 mo.), and doesn't surprise me by suddenly discharging overnight.

No negative experiences with this yet.

UPDATE: The battery no longer recharges, either by USB or DC converter. Conceivably there could be an issue with the IPAQ itself, but the battery monitor indicates 0% charge. Even though the charging lamp is flashing, there is no charge after over eight hours of charging.

Battery works well. Glad someone still carried these in stock and was able to ship so quickly. No complaints here.
