TREO PRO BATTERY

TREO PRO BATTERY
  • Compatible with - Treo 700p, Treo 700wx, Treo 700w, Treo 650, Treo 600

I am totally disappointed with the batteries i received from the company (Celllounge.com)that sent them. The first battery was deficient and wouldn't hold a charge. They sent me another one. The 2nd one they sent doesn't fit my Palm Treo phone. It clearly has htc innovation printed on it.

Buy TREO PRO BATTERY Now

I bought this battery to replace the original battery that was no longer holding a charge for my palm treo pro. To keep the review short and sweet, I just wanted to comment that the purchased battery, while it is an 'original' palm battery, it came in an opened, unsealed plastic bag. Ok, not a big deal, as long as it works well. Upon close inspection, the gold/copper terminals on the battery had some contact marks on there, meaning that they seemed to have been installed previously. They couldn't be "test" marks because they were deeper than the incidental one or two time installation.

After doing a full cycle of charging and discharging the battery, it was slightly better than the original battery it was replacing, but then after about a month of use, the battery charge was probably holding as well as my original battery that was replaced. In other words, I honestly feel that I was sold a pre-owned battery, and not a brand new one as described in the item description. Very unscrupulous supplier. I know Amazon uses multiple suppliers for any one item at any time, however, it's my opinion that you should steer clear from buying this and save yourself the hasssle and the allure of the low pricing. Amazon needs to police these types of things better. If you really need this battery and want to be guaranteed it's brand new, you should look elsewhere.

Or, just get a new phone instead! That's what I need to do. :)

My Palm Pro occasionally burns through battery pretty fast, so when I got a charger that included a spot for a spare battery, I got one of these. I marked my batteries so I could tell which one was the original, and if it weren't for that, I'd never be able to tell. They perform the same.

it came on time, does what its supposed to do, wish i had bought two.

I worked as expected. It power the treo pro and could go longer without have to recharge it, which made it nice.

BoxWave Capacitive Asus Transformer Pad 300 LTE Stylus (Jet Black)

BoxWave Capacitive Asus Transformer Pad 300 LTE StylusI'm pretty picky when it comes to some odd and esoteric things and cell phone cases, especially belt-clipped ones, are no exception. What can I say, little things can get to me sometimes.

I'm a little chubby, so having something clipped to my belt quite often irritates my side a bit, especially when sitting or moving. Usually if the clip itself is too big. I had a semi-generic case that I got at a Cingular kiosk at the mall and hated it. It wasn't cut for the phone at all, in order to use the phone I had to remove it entirely from the case, and the clip was too big, it poked me in the side and irritated me as I walked. Inevitably I'd have to remove it and put it in my pocket. The clip wasn't removeable either, so it added too much bulk to even my jacket pocket.

The pictures don't do this case justice. The 'screw' you see fits neatly and easily into the slot on the clip, and the clip holds it in pretty well, released by a simple thumb press on the button on top of the clip. The clip itself is unobtrustive when the phone isn't in it, I usually forget it's there. Even when the phone is in it, if I turn it horizontally to angle with my belt, I barely know it's there. The only downside is that the latch that holds down the screw isn't very stiff or sturdy and it doesn't take a lot of pressure to pop it out. Sitting in a chair or in a car seat can easily press it up and out. Normal walking around doesn't affect it though and that's enough for me. I usually take it off when I'm going to sit down anyway.

The specially-cut holds for all of the buttons and camera are very handy. I definitely feel confident that the phone is safe and at the same time easily useable. Even when I'm not using my hands-free Bluetooth headset, it's still easily manageable.

My one minor gripe is that the case is really designed for the standard battery. That fits great. Put the extended battery on it and it becomes a tight squeeze. Still useable, but the sides bow out a little and it's still not 'in' all the way. That being said, the lid still shuts and snaps shut snuggly, which is more than I can say for the generic one I had before.

Overall it's a sharp product, easily worth the cost. If/when I get a new phone, I'll definitely be back looking for one of these for it.

Topeak Topeak PDA Phone Handle Pack

Topeak PDA Phone PackAfter Electra came up with the coffee cup holder for your bike could the cell phone holder have been far away? Obviously not. But it makes more sense that you might think .

Having a cell phone while your biking is a tremendous safety asset. Getting lost, flats, bad weather etc being able to call for help (or get calls from help). Where to keep the phone when doing serious biking was always a bit of a question. If you have bike shirt you can always use the back pockets but it's sometimes hard to access if you have a bunch of stuff back there. Plus in warmer climates it gets drenched with sweat. So mounting it to the bike is a pretty good idea.

The Topeak holder is basically a heavy duty nylon/neoprene cell phone case. The biggest difference in design is that there is an extra bracket on the back clip that lets it slide onto and off of the mounting stud you place on your bike. You can also use it as a belt clip. On one side there are some elastic loops that let you store a stylus and thin pen. This particular unit is large enough to hold a full size blackberry with no problem and an I-phone if you stuff it.

The other part of it is a mounting bracket that goes on bike. The fastening mechanism is similar to a pipe clamp but it's all plastic. I wasn't thrilled with the plastic construction but at least it won't scratch your bike. You thread the strap around bike tube and into the fastener, then screw on the fastener and it takes up the slack until you've got the right fit.

Mounting options depend on your bike. Optimally it might go on the handlebars but that place can get busy with other accessories and the PDA holder is a bit large. I chose to mount it on the top frame tube. I was worried if it was going to fit since tube is oversized but it fit with no problem.

Once you've got the mount on you slide the clip over the square mounting stud till it clips. The stud is omni -directional so you can slide the holder in from any direction on the stud, not just up/down. It clips and it does not come off. Your phone is at the ready whenever you need it. When your done with the ride take it out or use it as your holder.

So in Summary

Pros-

Multi Functional, works on both bike and belt.

Convenient, lets you take your phone comfortably when you might leave it behind

Well built, would probably protect your phone in a crash.

Cons

A bit bulkier than other regular PDA carriers.

Conclusion

If your looking for a way to carry your phone with you while biking give this a serious look. It works well.

As long as you have no dimension issues fitting your device into case...and I don't...it works great.

One hint I'd suggest a quick wrap of handlebar cloth tape (or similar) to keep it from sliding since attachment band is plastic and can slip on metal bar.

Buy Topeak Topeak PDA Phone Handle Pack Now

the phone pack is perfect. I use a Palm Pixi (for size comparison), and it fits easily. This size would be a tight fit for an iPhone. the issue is with the fixer. Get it where you want it, and don't move it around. Tightening a plastic hex bolt with a metal hex key is always a bad idea. also, the tip of the fixer strap has cracked. I'm not moving it again, so this won't be an issue. If I had known to be more careful, I wouldn't have had any issues...that being said, its a great way to have your phone handy, and I'd buy another one if this one went missing.

rooCASE Multi-Angle (Black) Leather Folio Case Cover for VIZIO 8-Inch Tablet with WiFi - VTAB1008

rooCASE Multi-Angle Leather Folio Case Cover for VIZIO 8-Inch Tablet with WiFi - VTAB1008Nice addition to your vzio tablet. Only negitive is the case has to be trimmed a bit smaller. The buttons at the bottom are partially covered so you have to try to push it down to make finger contact.

I had the vizio tablet for a month and this case was very strong and sturdy. May seem a bit bulky, but i prefer protection of my electronic equipment over asthetics. They were openings around the case for the camera, charger, speakers and remote sensor. There as no misaligned areas of the case. Velcro stand worked well. Something I was not sure of.

It is a simple sturdy case for a tablet. Wish it had a feature to hang it on a car seat that would make it complete. But there are definitely other cases out there lesser than its cost.

Want rooCASE Multi-Angle (Black) Leather Folio Case Cover for VIZIO 8-Inch Tablet with WiFi - VTAB1008 Discount?

This seems to be a really good case. My tablet has been transported to/from work constantly and the case appears to be very protective from accidents such as drops, something being set on it, etc. The only negative thing I would say is that I expect the velcro on the screen prop to have a life-expectancy, although it is still as good as new after 3 months. Also, the screen prop feature isn't as sturdy as some other case, prompting the need to readjust every so often, but for the price difference, to me, this is an acceptable task.

8140Y218 Camera flex cable ribbon for Motorola RAZR V3c/RAZR V3m

8140Y218 Camera flex cable ribbon for Motorola RAZR V3c/RAZR V3mI bought this part to repair my wife's damaged RAZR V3, which was dying of old age. The cable arrived new in a static-proof pouch in excellent condition. It was of made slightly different material than the original part(more flexible), but fully compatible and fit perfectly.

Unfortunately for me replacing it did not resolve the problems with this particular phone. I now believe mine has a short in the keypad which is not connected through this cable. Still satisfied with the product.

[4 In 1] EasyAcc Portable Wifi Wireless SD Card Reader & USB External HDD / SDD / USB Flash Disk Re

[4 In 1] EasyAcc Portable Wifi Wireless SD Card Reader & USB External HDD / SDD / USB Flash Disk Reader for iPad 4 mini / iPhone 5 4s / Nexus 7 / Samsung galaxy tab and other Smartphone & Tablets, Built-in 8800mah External Battery Pack can Charge your Smartphone and Portable Wifi Router FunctionI was supplied this free to test and review.

Tested using iPad2, a generic Chinese Android tablet and a HP Windows 8 laptop.

I have not seen a gadget before that enables a tablet without expandable storage to have access to almost limitless memory for storage. In addition to this it can act as a wireless router and a backup battery for phones etc.

Out of the box it needs charging and comes with a usb charging lead to connect to your own charger as it charges 4 blue leds progressively light and flash until all 4 are on steadily and it is then fully charged and ready to use.

As the set up seemed quite complicated I followed the fairly comprehensive instructions which were enclosed. After downloading the "FTP Manager" from Google Play and installing it (I used the Android tablet first) I then followed the instructions and was met with the message "Server not Found". It is probably apparent to everyone except me that the server would not be found until I logged on to the Wi-Stor.

The easiest way to set it up initially is to temporary replace your router with this one turn it on and look for EasyAcc_4005DE and log on to it (At this stage it is an open network). Then download the "FTP Manager" and run it to complete the set up. You can then put your router back. If you don't want to do this you have to download the "FTP Manager" on your normal set up and then switch to EasyAcc_4005DE to complete the settings, once you have done this you will not need to do it again.

The next thing I worried about was security as admin and admin are not the most secure names and passwords. The router has quite a range and my neighbour was able to log into it quite easily.

Nothing in the instructions indicate that you can change the security settings, however it is easy, enter the Server Address into the command line of your browser and the home screen opens allowing you to view all the settings and make the changes you want. The most important being to make it secure.

Now it is set up I could use my ipad or android tablet to access a variety of memory devices that are connected to the Wi-Store I tried it with a 32Gb SD card, the maximum it will take, a 64Gb flash drive and a 1TB portable hard drive, all worked perfectly.

This device is a boon if you want to take files that total more than the capacity of the tablet, my little Android tablet is 8Gb with no expansion capability but with this I was able to watch a number of films from the portable HDD.

The other useful thing this does is to work as a back up battery it will supply 5V through a usb socket, to switch the battery on in this mode you need to press the power button for 3 seconds, If you want to know the state of charge press the button briefly and some of the 4 leds will light up one for each 25% of charge.

After playing with this on my tablets I thought I would try it with my laptop. There was no problem whatsoever using it as a wireless router but when I came to transfer files it was more difficult. It is possible to directly transfer using the server address in the command line but it was not the most straightforward way of doing it. I looked for an equivalent of the apps that I used for the Android and iPad although there are many I found that "Free FTP Manager 2.2" worked as well as anything and it is free.

In summary I am not sure if there are any other gadgets like this which allow you to wirelessly expand the memory of tablet devices, share files between tablets, act as a Wireless router and storage battery. It is a very useful addition to anyone who finds the memory in their tablet too limited.

(2008 HOLIDAY TEAM)This is an unusual and multi-faceted device that acts as a wireless router, a power bank, wireless sharing and wireless storage capability. Each one has its own qualities and issues.

The wireless router sets up a network for yourself and up to five other users/partners/devices. Connect the Wi-Fi-routers LAN cord from your wired network to the EasyAcc through the Ethernet port. Set up is typical of any router. The unit has a simple on/off switch on the side for wireless routing with a white symbol that readily appears.

The built-in battery is an 8800mAh Li-Polymer. You can use this for charging Smartphones, Tablets, iPods, iPad, iPhones, etc. via the USB Port. I was able to charge my iPhone 3-1/2 times with one charge. My iPad mini was able to be fully charged once, with about 25% charge left over. The level of charge is set up in (4) four 25% increments. Mine came 50% charged and took about 2 hours to fully charge.

Wireless sharing with this system is great, as you can use it for work or sharing files with friends. It can also be used as a temporary router. I found sharing photos took a few seconds to transfer, but had a lot of difficulty sharing larger files like video files. It just didn't work that well. But, music files were a breeze.

Wi-Fi storage in enabled by inserting an SD Card (max 32gb) into the slot in the side of the device or inserting a Memory Stick (Maximum 64gb) in the slot on the end.

The device only weighs about nine (9) ounces and is 5"X 3" X 1" in size. It's just packed with a lot of options. All of this can be a little daunting if you are not familiar with all these modes. Simply put, you have some great photos on your SD card, by inserting it into the EasyAcc, you can share these with other smartphones, tablets, or on Facebook. When your smartphone or tablet is out of space, instead of deleting any data connect a Flash drive to give yourself instant extra memory. If you are on an airplane or camping where there is no power, you can use the internal battery with its 8800mAh capability for fast recharging. The Wi-stor Wizard can establish a wireless network just by connecting it with a network cable.

When you compare the prices of storage devices, power banks, router and other wireless sharing devices, this little gadget does the trick. Device supplied for an honest review.

The Wi-Stor is a jack of all trades, and offers a ton of functionality. If you're looking to reduce the amount of stuff that goes in your laptop bag, travel a lot, or you simply really like tech, this is definitely worth a try! The manufacturer sent me a sample of this device, this review is my honest opinion.

Please excuse the fact that I have written in bullet points there's so much to cover that full sentences would have gotten tiring to read.

SO WHAT CAN IT DO?

Acts as as normal wi-fi router

Charges a portable device's battery with the built-in 5V USB charging port

Add 32GB of hard drive space wirelessly to any device using the SD slot

Acts as a wireless SD card reader (studio photographers take note!)

Add an almost limitless amount of hard drive space wirelessly to any device using the USB port

WHAT I LOVE

The sheer functionality of the thing!

All operations can be run on the internal battery or a USB power cable

That I can add my own hard-drive via USB

Sharing SD photos just got a whole lot easier

Portable router? SO many problems solved

WHAT I WOULD IMPROVE:

Instructions aren't great, if you don't like to tinker this may not be for you

Suggested app is not the most intuitive I think EasyAcc would be wise to hire an app developer

Had some sluggishness with video playback...SD card is rated for 90MB/s and wifi speeds should handle it so I have to assume it's the firmware?

A CF card reader would be SO great, especially for pro photographers who tend to use CF over SD

OVERALL

I took a star off for some polishing that needs done, but this is a solid start to a device with lots of potential. To use an analogy, this is like the Swiss Army Knife of tech gadgets, except the blades of this knife need a little sharpening. With a dedicated app and some firmware improvements for handling large files/video, this would be an easy five stars. For the price, recommended, although for the non technologically-inclined, there may be some frustration in setting the device up.

Lately, I have had the opportunity to evaluate several external power banks. I have also reviewed several small wireless N routers that can be used for travel. However, I have never reviewed a product quite like the EASYACC Wi-Stor. It combines a beefy power bank (8800mAh), with a router, AND it has the capability for file sharing across platforms...including iPhones and iPads.

That is not to say that the EASYACC Wi-Stor has completely unlimited capabilities. In a perfect world you could store dozens of movies, thousands of songs, and millions of pictures on an external drive that you could stream to your iPad. While it will work for pictures I have not been able to stream in other types of media to my iPad. This may limit your movie watching ability, but it still is a powerful tool -especially for business. This is a device that will allow you to arrange all of your PDF and Word files onto a disc that can be accessed remotely but multiple parties. POs, invoices, and other documents can be easily filed and pulled up when needed.

Notes -

Features a 8800mAh power bank. This is enough capacity to fully charge an iPad 2 or charge an iPhone 3-4times. It also gives the EASYACC Wi-stor the ability to work as a file server and router without the need of an external power supply. Make sure that you push (and hold) the power button for 3 seconds before trying to charge any device.

Wireless A/G/N supported router. Having a small wireless router is helpful when you travel. You never know when you are going to come across a hotel room that only has free LAN through ethernet cables. With a small router you can broadcast your own wireless signal. Also, the fact that it can be run off of the power bank means that you can use it as a router in the event of a power outages.

The file sharing requires a SD card, external hard drive, or USB jump drive none-of-which are included.

File sharing is not quite perfect it works great for pdf, word, and jpg but I have not been able to transfer a movie from an SD card back to my iPad. Also, I have been unable to transfer anything from my iPad back to the SD card on the EASYACC. I am attributing this mostly to the restrictiveness of Apple and less as a deficiency on the part of EASYACC.

Remember to change the security settings if you re going to store PO's and invoices using the default username and password will likely leave your files vulnerable.

Requires that you download the free version of FTPManager the app is a bit clumsy, and the directions for setting up the router through FTPManager are not exactly correct, but a little common sense will walk you through the set-up

Charges through a 5V 1A USB port I wish that you had the option to plug it into a 110V wall outlet, but I guess this allows it to more of a global device.

Size it is a bit on the heavy side and it is about 30% larger than a deck of cards, in fact it is roughly the size of an iPhone, but weighs about 20% more

Does not come with a case.

Final VerdictThe EASYACC Wi-Stor is one of the better tablet accessories available to businessmen/women. It allows colleagues to wirelessly share files across platforms. This allows PO's or other sales related documents to be available, with near limitless capacity. You will need to work through your security settings, but the EASYACC Wi-stor is a great blend of file sharing, portable router, and file server. Recommended

VuPoint Solutions Magic Wand Portable Scanner (PDS-ST410-VP)

VuPoint Solutions Magic Wand Portable ScannerI'm a graduate student and I spend a lot of time in libraries poring through books that can't circulate (rare, antique, etc.) Some are not even allowed out of specific parts of the university library. This is the answer! I can just roll the wand over the pages, and then I can study the text in the comfort and convenience of my house. I will add a picture of a scanned page for review as a product image. I'll never go back.

Oh, it does eat batteries, but who cares...AAs are cheap.

I bought this scanner for the purpose of scanning pages out of law books at the library. After about two minutes' practice, it was a cinch. In fifteen minutes I was able to scan 30 pages' research, and later downloaded it all to my laptop as .PDF files. The resolution is great, and the scan quality was good enough to use in powerpoint presentations after cropping and magnifying with Microsoft Picture Manager. You can't get scans out of books with a page-fed portable, and a desktop model is too big to carry. Light years better than waiting for the library photocopier.

It has been way too long since anyone made a really usable hand scanner. I've been looking for one for years. So I was very excited when I saw a review of the 'Magic Wand' on one of my news feeds.

This product does the trick. You have to be fairly slow and steady to get a good scan, but hey... it's a hand scanner! So no surprise there. The scan quality is quite acceptable for a device of this type. Not what you would get from a flatbed scanner, but hey... it's a hand scanner! Print is readable, photo quality isn't fantastic but might improve as my scanning skills get better.

The scanner is bundled with 'ABBYY Screenshot Reader', which extracts text from an image. ABBYY is one of the major producers of optical character recognition (OCR)software. I have a document scanner that came with and ABBYY OCR program. But I have never seen a screenshot reader before. This product allows you to select an area on your computer screen, and it will extract text from that area and put it in your clipboard.

So when you scan an image with the 'Magic Wand', you can connect the scanner to your computer with a USB cable (included); open the image in a picture viewer; and use Screenshot Reader to capture the text.

You will probably have to do a bit of touch-up after you paste the text into another application. I have yet to see an OCR program that does perfect text conversion. One trick that helps a lot is to zoom in on the text to make it larger. OCR programs work better with larger text.

I am very pleased with the 'Magic Wand'. I keep it next to my laptop in the living room (yeah, I'm a multi-computer geek, and I do "side surfing" while I'm watching TV) so I can quickly scan things out of magazines or books. And it's small enough to toss in my computer bag when I'm on the road. Along with my Planon Printsitk portable printer (Planon Printstik PS950ME Label Printer Monochrome Direct Thermal), I've got a complete office in a bag!

I purchased this scanner to help in cataloging my DVD and book collections. Frequently I find that the default cover art which is downloaded by the catalog program doesn't match the actual item and all too often the correct image isn't available online. Taking books and DVDs from the library and living room to the flatbed scanner in the office so I can scan the cover art is tedious, so I thought this portable scanner might be a good solution. Unfortunately, the results weren't as good as I had hoped based on the other reviews I read here. It's not that the scanner is "bad" because it isn't really, it's just that it wasn't as easy to use as I had hoped.

Pros: The scanner is compact, reasonably priced and attractive. Reasonably good results can be achieved with practice.

Cons: In order to produce a good image, the scanner must be moved very carefully. Uneven motion, brief pauses, etc. basically anything short of consistent movement will cause distortion in the image.

I've uploaded two examples, one good and one bad, of a DVD cover scan (the movie "10" with Dudley Moore, Julie Andrews, and Bo Derek).

In conclusion, while the scanner is certainly compact and inexpensive, there are limitations which the buyer should be aware of before they decide to purchase.

Want VuPoint Solutions Magic Wand Portable Scanner (PDS-ST410-VP) Discount?

This little device is way better than one would have any right to expect. There have been hand-held scanners in the past, and they have mostly been overpriced and frustrating toys.

This is not. It's a decent quality scanning device. Credit that to the drastic drops in fixed lens camera elements and ccd detectors over the past few years.

You can use this device, after a very modest learning curve, to scan things like text out of book, documents, receipts, etc. Basically, anything that is text based can be scanned pretty well with a little practice.

HOWEVER, this wand is NOT appropriate for scanning photos, blueprints, or any other source material that requires high precision. That's because you WILL have distortions in your scan. That's unavoidable due to the fact that it is impossible to ensure a 100% constant scan rate (or 100% straight path, for that matter) across your source material. For figures/pictures, there's no automated way to correct for this.

Bottom line: I'd recommend this highly to those who have the need for a portable scanner for text based documents. But I would STRONGLY advise against getting this if you expect to use it for photos/figures/blueprints or any other precision document.

It didn't work. Adapter shows it's getting power, but it's not sending it to what I connected it to (a ski boot warmer)

BoxWave Slimline Capacitive Stylus for Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 - Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 Touch Screen Stylus w/ Thinner Barrel and Finer PointIt work ok. But there is nothing special about it. I think the price is to high for what is basically a rubber tipped stick.

Works well with my asus tablet as well as my nook tablet. It is smooth and glides very nicely over the zagg protective cover.

OEM Palm Treo Centro 650 700 Sync Data Cable 180-10202-00

OEM Palm Treo Centro 650 700 Sync Data Cable 180-10202-00im very glad to receive this cable for my treo 750 and when i used it didnt work, XP and vista didn recognized, now i have to buy it again after try with one cable of my friend, but in my research on the web its the only solution. Sorry but this cable sucks.

I just have to say that this cable works but it has not a Hot Sync Button on it so it makes it an old generation cable. I would recommend to go to another option instead of this.

Woogie 2!, blue

Woogie 2!, bluewe got this for my son's 3g iphone. it was very very soft and plush and comes across as being really good quality. My only 2 issues: when he holds it to play with it, it's awkward to work with the screen while holding it in his hands due to the size of the item. Also, the compartment that holds the iphone is a bit loose and too roomy to hold the iphone snugly so this leads to reduced sensitivity on the screen. I wish the clear plastic would fit snugly over the screen so there isn't all that space between the plastic and the phone's screen. My son kept taking the iphone out of the woogie 2 so it seems like a waste. I hope the next edition of the woogie makes some improvement! Also, woogie 2 could make it a bit harder for the toddler to remove the iphone (velcro closes it in so very easy for the child to open and remove).

This product was obviously used because the bottom left screen corner was scraped and it was classified as "new" not completely happy

Ordering and shipping was excellent.

The Woogie 2 is not so good.

the plastic screen is all cloudy and so its not very useful because you can't see through it.

This is the major reason why I don't like to order stuff online.

Now I have a product that I can't use, but if I return it and order another one, then I won't get the free shipping and there is no guarantee that the next one won't have some problem.

Great way to keep toddler occupied while eating out in a restaurant, other patrons are amazed by how it looks and how entertaining it is.

This is the second Woogie I have purchased. Last year for my granddaughter and now for my grandson. She loved hers and even though he did not have iPod at the time, they fought over it. Arrived ahead of scheduled delivery date and in good order.

myGear Products Anti-Microbial Screen Protection Film for Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9" - (1 Pack) Ant

myGear Products Anti-Microbial Screen Protection Film for Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9' - Anti-Microbial NEWEST MODELI'm amazed! Love this screen protector. Was the easiest installation for a screen protector I've ever done. Looks great and if you go slow enough and take your time...there are NO BUBBLES! Awesome!

Great screen protector for my Amazon Kindle. My daughter installed it very easily on the first try. It's a nice smooth glide to the touch, better then some of the more stickier covers I have had for other devices in the past. I really like it and the price was great.

I bought one for my kindle fire and I have to say they really work well. No smudges, no finger prints just air bubbles. Which can be fixed by skillful popping/smoothing them out with the resonated tool which I believe is called a squeege or something along those lines.While it does do an amazing job at protecting your screen is does dull sensitivity which is a trade-off,protection over prescision.Also the videos aren't as crisp and vibrant with the protector. With that being said,pick it up if you need protection.

On a sidenote, don't get any dust or hair or anything underneath the screen. It will make air bubbles and ruin your protector. Just messed mine up but it was my own User error.

3M Gold Privacy Filter-3M GPF19.0W Widescreen Monitor Privacy Screen (16:10)

3M Gold Privacy Filter-3M GPF19.0W Widescreen Monitor Privacy ScreenThe place I work at has open office policy. One can stand in one corner and see everyone's computer screen. This filter is great for giving privacy from certian angle. The reason it is not rated 5 is becuase my screen is still visible from wide angle. But it blocks most of the side angles. It has a nice hue from the side. I have had many people do a double take when they walk by me. Everyone thinks it is fancy due to Golden hue.

Overall, I am satisfied with this filter. Another great product from 3M.

Bought this screen & been using it for over a year. Quality is good however, IMHO its a waste.

Viewing angle are quite accurate when the claim 30deg.. it is.. unfortunately it is not suitable for my use.

The Glare is unbearable does come in hand if u want to keep an eye who is sneaking up on you

Not good!

Great product. I have had a few people tell me about how amazing this screen is. Initially i didn't want to front the extra buck, but I am so happy I did. Supreme privacy and style. The only downside is the not so pretty way of keeping the screen against the monitor screen.

This privacy screen works better than the regular screen. It provides much better privacy and clearer image as you are viewing the monitor.

The company that brought us post-it notes, scotch tape, and so many other great products has now delivered an excellent way to safeguard confidential data, passwords, and other personal information. This quality, American-made product works great and installation is quite easy! I would definitely recommend this for anyone who deals with confidential information or needs privacy when using his or her laptop.

PROS:

+ beautiful opaque gold color when "out of range" (reminds me of solar visor on astronaut helmets)

+ 4 way privacy: privacy filter appears when too far right, too far left, too far up, and too far down

+ easy installation (instructions below)

+ provides protection from dust

+ high quality

+ American made

CONS:

expensive in absolute terms

only one person can look at laptop screen at a time

installation tabs may take away from the "sleek appeal" of the laptop

INSTALLATION:

1) clean laptop screen with microfiber cloth

2) tear apart installation tabs at perforated area

3) remove backing from the long tabs

4) put one long tab on lower-left side of laptop and one on lower-right so that they hang over the edge where the laptop screen starts (there should be some room between where the tab hangs over and the laptop screen this will be where you fit the filter)

5) put one short tab on upper-left side of laptop and one on upper-right so that they hang over the edge where the laptop screen starts

6) put one short tab on bottom, left side of laptop and one on bottom, right so that they hang over the edge where the laptop screen starts

7) slide filter between the space between the tabs and the screen BEING CAREFUL NOT TO SCRATCH YOUR LAPTOP SCREEN

8) (optional) put one short tab on top, left side of laptop and one on top, right so that they hang over the edge where the laptop screen starts

9) enjoy your new-found privacy!

Fits nice and snug. Cut outs are great for the rear dual speakers on the ASUS 10". Added feature is velcro back that allows a variety of positions. Choice of colors are not my favorite, but the Magenta is not too bad. I was concerned that it would be too pink. Photos are pretty true to actual color.
