Bundle Monster Nintendo Ndsi Dsi Nds Ds i Vinyl Game Skin Case Art Decal Cover Sticker Protector Ac

This is really cute. I bought this for my grand daughter. She didn't like the color of her DSi and for some reason they never exchanged it. So I bought her this. It's a great way to dress up the game, and there are tons of designs/pattern out there to choose from.

MAKE SURE YOU BUY THE RIGHT ONE FOR YOUR DSI. THERE ARE 3 SIZES!! And follow the instructions.

The blue matches her dsi exactly. It was easy to put on. Make sure the game is cleaned and there are no oily finger prints from potato chips on it. Darn kids and their chips!!

The directions say not to play with it for two hours to let the decals set. My grand daughter was handling hers right away and some of the edges weren't sticking well. So it will be hard for me to determine how long these will last with this skin. But she's happy with it, and they're inexpensive enough to be able to replace every 6-12 months if needed.

This product arrived promptly after I emptied it from my cart. My 12 year old loves the new look of her now smiley face DSI and I love the fact that I bought it from a reliable source at a fair price. Thanks!

Grandmax Wireless Bluetooth Mini Keyboard for iPad & More (KB-BT1L-BK)

I decided to buy this keyboard after trying out mini bluetooth keyboards from two other manufacturers (Spider and ProHT). The number 1 problem with the other keyboards is the overly soft rubber keys that are used make it extremely difficult to type anything, it feels like mush

However, this is absolutely NOT the case with the Grandmax mini bluetooth keyboard.

I am extremely satisfied with the overall quality of this keyboard. The keys are very tactile and responsive, the battery lasts way longer than i thought it would, and the device works great with my iPhone 4S and my iPad.

I can honestly say i will never go back to using the on screen keyboard on my iphone (except for short notes) because this keyboard has spoiled me!

I would recommend this product to anyyone looking for a ``pocketable`` keyboard for your touchscreen smartphone, tablet, or even for your laptop.

After buying this product i have since had to purchase two more for my mother and sister, and they love them as much as i do!

AWESOME PRODUCT!!

This is probably one of the best Bluetooth thumb keyboards on the market. The keys are relatively large, for a thumb keyboard, and are convex, which reduces the risk of hitting an adjacent key when pressing down on the intended key. It will enable you to type faster and more accurately than most other thumb keyboards. Only downside is that it is a bit chunky.

Buy Grandmax Wireless Bluetooth Mini Keyboard for iPad & More (KB-BT1L-BK) Now

I bought this over 6 months ago from a different supplier who no longer carries this magnificent keypad so you can imagine my elation at accidentally stumbling across this ad!

I've been using this tiny keyboard DAILY with my iPhone (it fits perfectly inside a rubber case designed for the iPhone 4) and I've gotten quite proficient at typing fairly fast, if I do say so myself. I'm buying a second one since this little gem is hard to find and for some reason my older one has developed a habit of repeating letters twice every other word. No biggie and it's not irritating enough to stop using, just thought a replacement might let me use BOTH of them a bit longer.

I have NOTHING negative to say about this keypad. I must have been through half a dozen others looking for the perfect one and this item is superior. The backlight is not two goofy-looking bulbs planted on each side, the way some cheaper versions are. No, it is a complete backlight, illuminating every single number and letter perfectly.

I leave mine on 24/7, only waking it from sleeping when I need it and I've only had to re-charge it ONCE!

If you're in the market for a micro keypad don't hesitate just go for this and avoid the frustration of shopping around. You WON'T be disappointed!!

Read Best Reviews of Grandmax Wireless Bluetooth Mini Keyboard for iPad & More (KB-BT1L-BK) Here

I did a ton of research to find a small, ultra portable alternative to my tablet's touch screen keypad. I looked in to silicon keyboards, keyfolios, lapdocks, and thumb keypads. And I am so incredibly happy I settled on the Grandmax mini keyboard. It's about 4", which is too small to touch type. But the keys are bigger than a cell phone's qwerty and close enough together that you can easily thumb over all the keys at a fairly quick speed.

It does have some syncing issues sometimes. I'll find that it copies the previous letter a few times or hangs for a few seconds. But it's not frequent enough to be distracting or counterproductive. I also had a problem with the drive disc (it's a mini cd that's flat on two sides, so it wouldn't read/spin in my CD drive), but fortunately didn't need it.

The keyboard itself does NOT work with a ViewSonic G tablet. I could get it to pair, but it wouldn't connect. However, it DOES work beautifully with my Motorola Droid Razr. I use the Quickoffice app, so even some of the Windows keys on the keyboard work. It works so well, once paired is easy to sync up (flip the on switch!), and is really addictive. Definitely recommended!

Want Grandmax Wireless Bluetooth Mini Keyboard for iPad & More (KB-BT1L-BK) Discount?

Summary:I bought this keyboard so I can text faster then on a touch screen and its better then buying a phone that has a lame keyboard. I can say with out a doubt that this is one of the greatest gadgets that I have ever purchased.

Pros:Well made, and very sturdy. You literally feel what its worth and that it justifys the price. I bought a cheap 8 dollar mini keyboard and it feels like complete garbage compared wit the grandmax.

It has Back lit keys. thats usually unheard off for something this small.

Connects with the ease of bluetooth. Pair it with your intended device with the small button on the back, type in the code. And Viola! you have a connection.

Its not so big nor so small that its impossible to use. I use it and my fingers are pretty large. But its keys are NOT squishy but feel like a proper clicking keyboard. Very good for texting and writing.

Cons: Price? Thats about it. Im a cheapsake I know. DONT JUDGE ME.

EDIT: After 3 months the unit stopped working. I had to RMA the product back to the manufacter. Thats why I knocked out a star.

The problem consisted of it refusing to turn on, connect, or both.

APC AP9625 2-Post Mounting Kit for Smart-UPS and Symmetra

Even though I ordered the wrong mounting kit, it is the 2 post cousin of what I really needed. With that said, the 4 post mounting kit is great so I am sure this 2 post mounting kit would be perfect too.

I bought this to hold an HP Proliant rack server in a centered 2-post rack, and it serves that purpose. Only downside is that it's not secured by any screws, it's just sitting there. But it will never get knocked out.

2x caseen GLARESHATTER Anti-Glare Screen Protector for Nook CLASSIC (First Generation) + caseen Sty

I purchased screen savers in the past and the quality wasn't great. The product from this vendor is superior. I was able to get the screensaver on easily. The material finish is very good and has minimal glare (matte look).

While I don't see much of a difference in glare, I suppose the film does protect the screen. That is all I can say for it as I've gone through at least 4 of these things. My husband and I have both tried and no matter what bubbles. The instructions tell you that it should be fine as long as there is no dust. Well, good luck with that. While you might be able to push some bubbles all the way out, if there is a microscopic dust particle, you can forget it. My advice use a cover and forget the screen protector unless they make one that goes on better and easier.

This case is exactly how it looks in the image and so stylish. However, I had a very hard time inserting the IPad and, when open, the flap doesn't lay flat, which makes working cumbersome. I bought this after I'd owned and used a Targus slim fit case, and there is no comparison. If you want an inexpensive, fashion case get this. It is a fraction of the cost of a designer case and therefore allows you to have multiple cases and colors. But be aware if you're IPad is constantly on the move, you should splurge on one that will fit better and protect more.

I have carpal tunnel and arthritis. Could no longer use a conventional mouse. This thing is a wonderment. A little bit of a learning curve. A little adjustment of your mouse properties and the cursor speed adjustment on the mouse and you're good to go.

Update: Been using this now for the last few weeks, my carpal tunnel pain has decreased by 80%.

Micca Slim-HD 1080p Full-HD Portable Digital Media Player w/ 2.5-Inch HDD Drive Bay

The Micca Slim-HD is a good little portable media player. I purchased the device for a recent conference overseas the intention was to connect it to a large HDTV screen through a HDMI cable and run it continuously for 4-days with a looping video from a 500Gb Western Digital internal disk-drive.

As time was running short, I decided to purchase 2 devices one to use as a primary device and the other as a redundant fall-back should the first one fail. When the shipment arrived I noted that the design was a little flimsy. I would have liked to see a tougher enclosure particularly given that it is designed to be portable and can easily be knocked around. In any case, I inserted the internal drive and went to power it up as per the instructions. Unfortunately, the first device did not work so I was relieved that I had purchased the second as a redundancy. I contacted Micca support using the form on their website and in a relatively short period of time "Jack" emailed me and suggested that I buy a 3rd device and return the other through Amazon. I did that and within days the 3rd device had turned up only to find that the power supply did not work. I emailed Jack again and he sent me 2 new power supplies. While there were issues, I found the customer support to be very impressive. Jack even called me at one stage to talk through the issues.

As for the functionality The device will play most popular video formats. I found that some perform better than others. Jack suggested using the MKV file format which I found performed the best out of the many formats I tried. Out of these I found a couple that did not work including the high-end Apple ProRes codec . For most users this won't be an issue unless you're planning to use a professional editing studio to produce your own video content.

The most annoying thing about the device is its speed. At this stage I've only used the internal drive which Jack tells me is the quickest out of all the interfaces but it's still very slow. Finding video on the device isn't convenient but it's not too painful. It's about 3-4 clicks to find a video. The slow responsiveness may also be due to the remote. I find myself clicking buttons several times before the device responds to a command. This is probably due to the limited angle on the remote (you must be directly in front of the device for the remote to work) and the slow responsiveness of the device. As an example, several times I've tried to fast forward through a video only to have the screen message tell me something different the actual video is fast forwarding but the onscreen display is telling me it's rewinding. Also, I've also found that on occasion video files do not appear in the folders, so you have to re-copy the file to the device so yes, there are bugs in the software.

I consider myself a demanding user of the device and expect a lot. Keeping this in mind and given that it's more intended for home use, I was impressed with the system it does what it says it will do. The hi-resolution video looked impressive on the big screen and it performed will over the 4-days of continuous use. There are some limitations that are annoying but easily overcome. If you're looking to use this for a simple portable video player you won't be disappointed. I think the price point is a little high given that new devices are constantly entering the market with internet connectivity, more functionality and better interfaces, so I'd expect to see this drop some time soon.

All-in-all it's a good device which is well supported by Micca's customer service team.

This little unit plays all the major video files and plays them well. With the bonus of being portable. One connection using HDMI and your good to go. Remote is very well desinged and the unit looks fantastic. I added a 320GB hard drive but also tested both the SD card and the USB for playing video. I tested every format that is listed except RMVB and all played with top quality full HD. (Did not have an RMVB file to test). None of the other players I've owned could do this. I've been building HTPC's for about 10 years and have experienced the progress of many portable media players. I have the Xbox and used it to stream video: Too much trouble. Owned the Avox JukeBox by Vantec: Very limited file formats and remote is terrible. I've owned the Dlink DSM 510: Great product but very finicky. Locked up a lot and no internal storage. Owned the Galaxy Metal Gear Tvisto Mini: Nice product but limited formats and took a mess of cables to connect.

Nothing beats a Home Theater PC for quality and usefulness but this Micca slim is kick ass for a portable player...

I would recommend for anyone needing a portable video player. In fact, if you don't need the full features or expense of an HTPC then this unit would make a good HTPC alternative.

Buy Micca Slim-HD 1080p Full-HD Portable Digital Media Player w/ 2.5-Inch HDD Drive Bay Now

I give the Micca Slim HD 4 big stars! A super small, portable, capable media player. I updated to the latest firmware available. I withheld the last STAR for:

1: A few playback issues It cannot play older DivX codec and WMV8/7 codec.

Re-encoding those older files will be a waste of time.

It cannot play VOB files at all

2: The remote Micca needs to improve or boost the IR signal of the remote control. If you

don't point it correctly it's very sluggish. If you're going through contents of

a 1TB external hdd, you will soon find your arms getting tired because of the need

for you to point the remote just at the right level.

Micca also needs to add more functionality on the arrow buttons

(up,down,left,right). I would be nice if you can use the left/right button move

forward/backwards within directories, instead of tirelessly depressing the

"Exit" button to move from one folder to the next. Also the exit button

needs to be just as big as the OSD button since it's constantly being used.

Powering "OFF" the device with the remote is fairly easy but for some

reason powering it "ON" via the remote can be quite a challenge . I have to

point & press at least 3x before it powers on.

Lastly, for some weird reason the DOWN arrow button of the Micca remote

can power ON/power OFF my old single DVD player(I removed the old

DVD player to solve the conflict)

3: Micca's LED power light should turn on/off, a better indication to let you know if the unit

is on or off. Instead it remains on 24/7.

4: File description function does not work: When browsing files, on the top left there is a file

attribute section. Good idea but it does not work. Selecting a file does not

display any information on that file. It would be nice if the file info section

would actually display file info, an icon or a thumbnail for easier browsing.

Back to the Micca Slim HD: This tiny device is an excellent media player it can play many different video formats that you throw at it. Contrary to other reviews, the player itself is very responsive and quick to locate files on a USB external hard drive, flash drive, or an SDHC card (have not tried the internal drive yet since I don't have a 2.5" drive)

Without an internal drive, the Micca Slim HD is very light. I have to twist the HDMI cable so it doesn't keep the player slightly tilted to its side.

I tested several 720p/1080p video contents ranging from 5mbps 35mbps(HD-WMV,HD-DivX,HD-XviD,HD-MKV) all files played without a glitch. Many SD video contents played very well.

All in all I highly recommend Micca Slim HD player if you want to watch all your media collections on your HDTV via internal/external HDD.

On a side note: It would be nice if Micca included a simple HDMI cable instead of the very useless composite cable.

05.28.2011 -

UPDATE: I finally bought a 2.5" 500GB Western Digital 'green' hard drive. I copied all my encoded mp4 & mkv files on it, installed it in the Micca slim HD player and I'm glad to report that it recognized the 500GB internal hard drive with no problems and played all my movie files just fine...

11.07.2012 -

Another UPDATE: THE GOOD: Yes, my Micca HD-Slim is still alive and kicking...THE BAD: It's sad that I cannot update the HD-Slim firmware to the latest one because the one posted on the Micca site is just a patch for v120107.. The instruction said I need to have v120107 installed before I can install the latest update. Micca support is unresponsive. I contacted them 3x but no luck, they will not send me the download link of firmware v120107.

NOTE to MICCA Store --Why in the world are you guys hiding the firmware updates?

Read Best Reviews of Micca Slim-HD 1080p Full-HD Portable Digital Media Player w/ 2.5-Inch HDD Drive Bay Here

This is a hard one, because the product is really great. I do read among the other reviews that there are quality control issues, however I haven't run into that.

This is a product I have long dreamed of. A portable device that I can use as a good travel hard drive and also plug into any hotel TV and watch my media with a remote. I say any hotel TV because some hotels have LCD TVs and HDMI but some have old TVs and need composite. Before the Micca, I was using an Archos for this duty, along with a Wii controller for remote control. Before that, a SageTV HD200 and portable hard drive (bulky as heck). Before that another Archos with no remote control (really long cables instead) and before that my laptop with a bulky MCE remote and an expensive bulky box to convert VGA to other output types. So you can image, seeing this product was like a dream come true.

As a Portable Hard Drive

The Micca excels as a normal portable hard drive. It plugs right in and uses USB for power, no power brick needed. I put in a 1TB hard drive and this fit fine. Be careful, as there are hard drives that are too thick. You need to make sure the hard drive is 9.5mm thick, no more.

As a Media Player

It will not play everything, but it plays most things. A bit annoying that it doesn't play mts (HD camcorder format), but if you have a laptop, you can just change the extension and then it plays (no need to convert format). It plays most mkvs and handles 1080p well, however you will run into some it won't play for whatever reason. My SageTV HD300s don't play all my MKVs either, so I expected this going in. There are some advanced sound codec support missing, but again, as expected. Subtitle support is great (PGS missing of course), but I wish I could control the size of the subtitles and I wish embedded subtitles were supported.

The interface is unattractive and plain. Its also a bit annoying, requiring more clicks that it should, but its functional. I'm not a big interface person, I just want to watch my media on the road, so not a big deal for me.

The Bad

The remote range is very short. I don't care which way you turn the unit, some of these other reviews are way off base on this issue or my unit is malfunctioning, because I've tuned it every which way and the range is short. I can prove its just weak IR because I use an IR adapter for my phone and control it that way and do not have any IR issues any more.

It gets hot. I carry a portable laptop cooler with me when I travel (for my laptop) and I stick this on top of it to keep it from overheating. I am not saying it will, but everyone knows heat is bad for electronics.

The biggest problem is Micca! This company is totally unresponsive. I emailed them before I bought the Micca, they did not reply. I emailed them after I bought it, no reply. I emailed them again, no reply. I emailed them again and warned them that I had not written my Amazon review yet, and then they replied! Sheesh!

I do not expect any firmware updates or improvements, as this company is totally unresponsive. You can buy this device from a huge well known Chinese internet vendor for 1/3 the price. You won't get any support when you buy it there, but then Micca doesn't give you any either.

A 4-star product ruined by a 1 star company. Such is the world. However, this device fills a dream product for me, so I couldn't take off any more stars. I wish I was happier about it though, why do good products have to be ruined by bad companies?

Want Micca Slim-HD 1080p Full-HD Portable Digital Media Player w/ 2.5-Inch HDD Drive Bay Discount?

I can't understand why the bigger brands are getting more raves and kudos, when a cheap, unknown chinese brand is able to pull all the strings effectively. I had trouble running certain mkv and flv files on both the Patriot Box Office AND the Western Digital Media thingi. This thing plays every damn file on the planet, I kid you not! Granted, the UI may not be too flashy, but it is adequate and easy to use. Very rarely, there may be a video/audio sync, no issue, just stop and start the file from beginning. Doesn't heat up, is very portable, I am using it as en external HDD enclosure too, and it's a brilliant utility when you need to show something to people on TV.

Plays .m2ts, MPEG4s, MKVs, DVDs, FLVs, WMAs, AVIs and every other video file extension I am yet to come across. You can believe the reviews for once, and if there was anything money can buy best, pick this up!! Don't loose the remote folks, or it's a gonner (no physcial buttons).

Panasonic Shockwave SVSW30V 256MB MP3 Player with FM Tuner

• Silver-tinged digital audio player made for use in the rugged outdoors
• 256 MB flash memory stores 4 hours of MP3 or 8 hours of WMA
• FM radio tuner with 20 presets
• Connects to PCs via USB 1.1

Shopping for an MP3 player is truly a daunting challenge. There are hundreds of brands and models to consider, each with countless features and capacities. The really bad part is that most of the time you can't really handle or operate them before your purchase. And given the large capacities, limited display and controls, how the thing really operates is of utmost importance, at least to me.

The choices get easier if you can be honest about how you're actually going to use your player. If you're the kind of techno-wannabe jackass 'early adopter' who thinks its just too hip to walk around downtown with a pair of white iPod earbuds hanging off your empty head, you probably don't normally spend a lot of time carefully considering your purchases and thus, this kind of question is not for you. For me the clear answer was, 'while exercising', so a more reliable, no moving parts, flash based player was the inevitable choice. It wasn't easy to accept though, the incredible size of the hard drive based players at only a minimal additional cost was tantalizing. I drooled over the thought of ripping my hundreds of CDs and carrying my entire music collection in my pocket. For instance, while I consider the iPods too expensive, not to mention the lack of a replaceable battery, high capacity players such as the Creative Jukebox offer 30 GB and up starting at $200, that's only $20 more than my 256 MB Panasonic. Therefore unless running is on your agenda, I'd go with the disk based player.

Although there are 512 MB flash players available, Panasonic didn't make one, and none of the others had the right mix of features I was looking for. So I decided this was enough space. At 128-bits I can fit about 6-8 albums on the player, which is pretty darn good.

In general I'm not much of a brand snob. However, when it comes to consumer electronics, I am a strong believer in Panasonic gear. I have a phone, VCR, two DVD players, TV, and CD discman that have all served me unusually well. Obviously you can't argue with the quality of Apple built iPods, but I keep coming back to the stupidity of the battery situation. Otherwise the field is wide open, everyone from Dell to Sony to companies you never heard of are making players. I personally started out at Panasonic, but then wasted a lot of time comparing others, only to end right back where I started. Many of the other players I looked at had many complaints about battery door covers that break off, headphone jacks that failed, and buttons that broke off. I just didn't feel like taking a chance on quality at this price.

So here are the final features that made the ultimate decision for me:

* Removable Battery: this is a serious problem in my view with the iPods and other disk based players from the likes of Dell. It just shows how insane Mac zealots are that have bought the iPod that the inability to change the battery for no good reason was not a deterrent. That or the iPod is just that good, your call. Mine uses a single AAA battery, a NiMh rechargeable that cost $8 a pair. Its worth noting the Creative disk based players have removable Lithium Ion batteries which is a major bonus if such a player is on your list, but if your going flash, its really a non-issue.

* Waterproof: whether sweat or rain, a player used during exercise is bound to get wet, so a water resistant player like the Shockwave is a must for me. Its also has heavy duty shock resistant casing. Some feel the disk based players can stand up to running, but I just don't think so.

* FM Tuner: a no brainer to me, yet still absent from iPod, what gives? Digital tuner and 20 presets on mine, although setting them up was a bit confusing.

* Drag & Drop File Transfer: basically, you plug the player into your USB port and it shows up as a removable drive, you then copy files over using Explorer, I like this simplicity. Most other players require some software to accomplish this. Though this may be comforting to noobs, I just consider it a waste of my time and a hassle. Plus, if you're away from your home computer, you're screwed unless you carry around the installation software if you want to transfer files.

The players blue backlit 4 line display is nice and simple. I do wish it provided the ability to navigate subfolders, because as it is now you have to track forward and back though the entire contents of the memory, which can be a real chore if you're trying to get to song 98 out of 99. I can live with it though.

The player includes a set of wrap-around earphones which have excellent sound and are very comfortable, a USB cable, a plastic belt clip carrying case, and a really nice elastic adjustable arm band by far the best I've seen on any player. I also bought some tiny earbuds for incognito use, and a pair of running buds with little support arms that grab your ears. They work ok, but slide out sometimes and allow too much wind noise. I think the regular wrap headphones included, while bulkier, both sound better and stay on your head more surely.

So that's about it, the Panasonic player gets my recommendation. No complaints so far.

Buy Panasonic Shockwave SVSW30V 256MB MP3 Player with FM Tuner Now

My wife and I have had a matching set of these for about 3 years now.

They do not offer a lot of features and sometimes you need to press it a second (or third) time to shut it off, but as a workout MP3 player I have not found anything as rugged and reliable as this model.

It is wild to think that the price of these has gone down over 75% since I first bought mine. I am soo tempted to buy one, but I already have two and they show no signs of dieing on my any time soon.

Read Best Reviews of Panasonic Shockwave SVSW30V 256MB MP3 Player with FM Tuner Here

I was entering a review for another item I bought and was shown a list of things I had purchased at the end and asked if I'd like to review them. I realized when I saw these on my list what a great product they really have been. They have been a part of life that you don't have to think about. Extremely dependable, and always there. Never have had any trouble whatsoever. oh, I have owned it for several years and have used it almost exclusively for running. The sound quality is wonderful. Better sound than I have had on any walkman or similar product. Good low notes and overall sound quality. The only drawback that I can think of is a relatively short battery life but each battery lasts about 2-3 weeks of runs. Great product that I spent more than twice as much for when I bought it and it was well worth the money.

Want Panasonic Shockwave SVSW30V 256MB MP3 Player with FM Tuner Discount?

this outdated player may look great with its OUTDATED features, but I am warning you that it's not as great as it looks.

multi file format-->It's been featured on Iriver and even iPods years and years ago.

storage???-->256mb, that's not enough. These days, flash memory based mp3 players come up with at least 512Mb of memory to 2Gb of memory.

10hr battery???--> even iPod, which is a hard drive mp3 player, tops that. iriver's battery lasts 40hours.

small???--->compared to iAudio or samsung yepp items, this isn't even near "small".

water resistant-->I have to admit. this is the only original idea that panasonic has brought up with. but a lot of better players come with water resistant kits that allows you to take the player when you are diving.
