The first one I received was DOA. It was replaced very quickly by Amazon.com, and the second one at least turned on. However, after using it for just a few minutes, I've discovered that it will turn itself off at random. It seems to be very poorly made.

Comfortable to hold manages easily and glides efficiently on my Kindle I even use it now to text on my smart phone. The stylus enables me to navigate with ease and goes precisely to my desired starting point.

The shipping came on time and as promised. Thank you for providing a timely as well an excellent product.

The green color is not nearly as lovely as it appears in the photo. This is a basic stylus that performs as one would expect. The ball on the end is a little on the "fragile" side and may not hold up to months of use. Hopefully, I'm wrong.

I own an extremely big laptop (ASUS G73JH-X1). I could never find a bag that looked good and functioned properly. Lugging around a 12 lbs laptop with a messenger bag isn't smart.

This bag has plenty of room for my laptop and the pocket is lined with what can only be described as dead Muppet fur, which is as luxurious as it sounds. There are plenty individual pockets and all with what reminds me of a massacre on Sesame Street. As graphic as it sounds, my iphone, mouse, power supply, cooling stand, etc. are exquisitely caressed by what appears to be the flesh of Ernie.

There is even a rain cover to keep it from the elements! An amazing backpack. I don't know a lot about Everki, but I'm now a life long customer and will recommend this backpack to my friends and family.

The biggest con is the price, but the simple fact is you pay for expert craftsmanship and, come on, Muppet fur. I think it comes out to about 10% of the price of my laptop so it's worth it to keep it safe and sound. Looks cool and comfortable to wear. I love this bag.

After weeks at Staples, MicroCenter, BestBuy and OfficeMax I finally decided to bite the bullet and spend the money for this bag. It fits my M17x like a glove, and carries tons of other stuff to boot (a netbook, a couple notebooks, a cordless mouse, and there's still room left over. My one complaint is that the shoulder straps are at a slightly wider width than most backpacks (Northface et certa); this was something I got used to in a week or so. Other than that it's got a stuff picket on the bottom with a waterproof jacket for the outside, I also stuffed a raincoat in there. The laptop compartment is very well padded and has a lining that I am confident would never scratch my machine. If you've got a massive laptop it's definitely the way to go, if I had known how great this backpack was I would have skipped the shopping process and just bought it from day 1.

I did not buy this bag from Amazon, as a matter of fact, I logged in to find a replacement. I have had this backpack for 18 months and it shows hardcore wear for no good reason. I have an 18" Toshiba Qosmio and I use it everyday.

The compartment is well padded side to side (Top and bottom of computer)but there is little padding at the bottom and NONE at the corners. The supplied rain jacket is not waterproof, just resistant. Your backpack will be damp if caught outside as the rain works through the rain jacket. After several uses the inner lining of the rain jacket began to deteriorate leaving a white residue. One of side pockets at the bottom has uncloseable slit (For an Mp3 player I guess) that can spit out a thumbdrive. The gaming console sleeve is pretty useless and flimsy, but I wanted a laptop bag. If you have a big laptop, it will intrude into the storage area and create a lip at the bottom that you will have to feel under for objects as it will be out of your sight line. A rip has appeared at left front zipper seam holding the main compartment which goes all the through to the inside exposing the inside.

The case carries: An 18" Toshiba Qosmio computer, a wireless mouse, large OEM power supply, three thumbdrives and three (Tiny 2.5") Seagate GoFlex external drives.

This items do not even fill the bag to half capacity. The total weight is about 18 pounds. I do not toss, throw or abuse this bag, I just use it normally everyday with an office job. Nothing else rides in the bag. If your are using this bag only occasionally, then it might be worthy -But for a $100+? (FYI, I wanted to love this bag.)

Update -August 2012: I have not had the time or money to buy a new backpack and since originally posting I want to add this: There is a clip on the front that secures the two shoulder straps and rests over your sternum. It is a three pronged male to female design. One of the prongs just snapped off from plastic fatigue (I guess) the load on the strap was moderate to low.

I recently purchased an Asus G74sx 17.3" widescreen laptop which is a large beast of a laptop. With the laptop, I initially ordered a Case Logic (17") backpack which is an exceedingly tight fit. This laptop is very thick and long compared to others.

Looking for something larger and thinking the slightly higher pricetag would get me something nicer I ordered the Everki Beacon. I initially thought if it could accommodate the G73, my G74 should fit, right?

Wrong.

Had I read a little deeper into the reviews for this bag, I would have found the initial review warning off potential buyers with G74s.

This backpack *can* carry the G74sx, but not in the padded compartment intended for laptops. The G74sx will fit in the second compartment, but this seems a poor choice, as now you lose the ability to carry much else, and requires the (re)moval of the laptop to get at anything else in the compartment.

All told, this is a great bag, but it will not fit my intended cargo. Sadly, merely unpacking the backpack makes it ineligible for return to Amazon. Fortunately, I could either ebay it or give it to someone I know who has a gaming console they take to parties.

I have an ASUS G73JW, a DSLR, Logitech G53 headset, couple of earphones, a Kindle, Sansa, and a bunch of clothes that I carry around with me. After looking around (because I had enough of lugging a duffel bag), I decided to throw in twice the amount of the Targus XL and bought the Everki Beacon.

I was expecting a huge backpack to arrive but not exactly. It's actually a pretty decent average size with generous pocket space for all my electronics.

First thing that strikes you would be, holy crap this thing is really well-made. All my previous laptop backpacks feel flimsy compared to this ruggedness. Definitely well worth the $100 and extra express shipping fees to get it.

If you're still pivoting between to buy or not to buy, just buy it. Well worth every penny.

AAXA Technologies P2 Pico Multimedia Handheld Projector

• Sharp SVGA (800x600) resolution
• Bright 33 Lumen LED light source
• 1GB onboard memory + microSD reader
• MP4, MP3, AVI, JPG, WMV decoder; VGA, RGB, iPod, PSP, PDA, DVD input
• Projects up to a 80" image (in low-light conditions)

AAXA's P2 is the best art projector I've used. For that application, it deserves five stars. With the P2 positioned over my desk, I can essentially turn my entire drafting table surface into a computer screen. The P2's 33 lumens are bright enough for a satisfactory image with room lights on. Like any other projector, the image needs to be shaded from sunlight, but the room does not need to be dark.

The P2 is generally marketed for business/PowerPoint presentations. Any shortcomings there are likely due to variable environments, but the projector is terrific in a controlled studio. I've used an inexpensive microphone stand to suspend the P2 over my work table. I wrapped black electrician's tape around the mini-tripod's legs for a secure attachment to the end of the microphone boom. The P2 can be pointed straight down toward a flat table or angled to match the tilt of a slanted drawing board. At 30 inches over the table it projects a bright 15x12 inch image with room lights on. At 66 inches over the surface (the full extent of my stand), the projected image is a clear 30x22 inches with subdued room lighting. The P2 produces a vivid image over six feet in width in a darkened room.

I get the sharpest image from the P2 when I set my laptop PC to 800x600 at 60Hz refresh rate. The auto-detect settings on the PC wanted to use 1024x768 resolution. While that works, the projected image is somewhat blurred. When I first switched to 800x600, my PC wanted to run at 70Hz refresh rate, but the P2 couldn't decode the signal. I had to use the graphics adapter's advanced settings to force a 60Hz refresh rate. The PC graphics adapter can also easily switch to portrait mode or mirror the image so I don't need to reposition the projector.

I prefer the PC as the source because I can easily pan and zoom the image, but my Zune also generates a clear image with the P2. Apparently, Microsoft's Zune software automatically resizes images when they are loaded on the Zune player, making them near perfect for the P2. Unfortunately, the Zune AV cable from AAXA is ridiculously short (12 inches), and so the player has to be suspended from the overhead boom with the projector. That makes it hard to reach the Zune player when I'm sitting at the table.

The P2 reads jpg files from internal memory or a micro SD card, but to get a clear image you need to manually resize picture files to 800x600 pixels or smaller before loading them in the projector. That's a hassle. As noted below, controlling internally stored pictures is also difficult when the projector is overhead.

There are a couple annoyances with the P2 design. Since the P2 projector's IR sensor is on the back edge of the unit next to the VGA connector and pointed at the room's ceiling, the P2's remote doesn't work when the projector is overhead. That's not much of an issue when I control the picture with the PC. Also, the projector's fan makes a hissing noise sort of like an overhead air vent on a jetliner, but I don't notice it when concentrating. The fan noise doesn't interfere with playing music on my audio system while I work.

Compared to traditional art projectors (huge, hot, heavy things that produce dim images by reflection off a paper source) the AAXA P2 is a wonder.

My first written review on amazon. I have benefitted so much from the amazon communities reviews that I felt compelled to return the favor. Just got this projector as a early Christmas present. Opened it immediately, hooked it up my standard DVD (component) player and wow. Let me give you a little background about me so you can rate my wow factor. I am a technophobe with little money. So i read and research things to the nth degree but rarely buy anything. I have been researching pico projectors for over 6 months. Our family doesn't watch much tv hence we have a 14" Toshiba non-hdtv as the family tv. I know shame on me but enough of the ridicule, lets move on. We have cable tv but only one show is watched if you know what I mean. With four girls all under 14, its all about the Disney channel. Now back to the P2. Hooked it up, turned off the lights and wow!. Not HDTV by anymeans but not bad compared to my 14" tube Toshiba. Next up was the Wii. Not much expected since its only component out, but 72" sure beats 14" and more wow.

Basically I had finally given in and decided to step up to a larger TV which are all prettmy much HDTV now. As a upgrade from the Toshiba I was researching Projectors, Plasmas and LCD's. I work for a company that makes both LCD's and Plasmas so it was toss-up for me. Didn't care for the glare of the plasma even though I liked the picture so it came down to a Projector or LCD. Missed all the Black friday sales but kept on researching. Found a couple of LCD's but just couldn't pull the trigger if you know what I mean. A little bird in my ear was telling me to wait. I just couldn't settle in my mind paying ~$500-700 for only a 32-40" picture. With pico technology growing I thought I'd wait a little longer. Researched the 3M, aiptek and all the other current pico's. All had little things that I didn't like in addition to poor or just fair picture quality. This fact was leading me back toward LCD's along with the fact that I couldn't justify having to replace $250-$300 bulbs every 2000 hours for regular projectors. Along comes the P2. Well actually the P1 which lead to the P2. I was intrigued by their size and 20,000 hour bulb life. More and more research (online and cr___igslist) and then to my suprise a gift arrives with the giver telling me to open it now to make sure it works correctly. That moment lead me to right now, writting this review. I can say without a doubt YOU WILL BE PLEASED WITH THIS PROJECTOR! It's worth it plain and simple. If you want HDTV then its not for you. If you want to be able to have the portabilty of this type of projector, 14" to 72"+ screen, multiple A/V hook-up options and be able to just about wow everyone that you show it to, then just buy it. This A2 is truly the best of not only both worlds, but multiple worlds. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED.

Here's the dilemma: You're in a some kind of job that frequently subjects you to "death by Power Point". Yeah, I feel for you. Now for some reason, the office projector is (more often than not) out on the road or in the repair shop. Good news, right? So instead of getting a little extra nap time in the "bored" room, the boss decides he wants you to go through all the backlogged crap from 1970 to 2008 and make a detailed report that he will likely glance at for 15 seconds and then ask you why your other work is getting behind.

You'd have been better off listening to Captain Sominex deliver his presentation, but noooo... John from sales needed the projector for a conference 3 states over. Wouldn't it have been great if you could whip a projector out of your pocket so you could kick back and eat a donut while pretending to care what some windbag is mowing over? What about a POCKET PROJECTOR?!

Sounds great, but then the thing arrives and you realize you're about to unleash a new level of pain on top of something that everybody already hates.

The Aaxa P2 is currently the Cadillac of the picos. Seriously... You're not going to find a better one. Even the pocket laser projector is going to be hard pressed trying to match this puppy.

The P2 has a 33 lumen output. On the surface that really sucks, but other Picos are sadly maxed out at around 11 or 12 lumens. Still, a typical projector is going to have 1000 lumens on the low end. 33 lumens looks like a faint stain on the screen by comparison.

The P2 has a native resolution of 800x600. Still not great, but other picos are still using 640x480. On the bright side (bright?), it "simulates" higher resolutions, but the picture gets fuzzier the higher you go.

The P2 comes with a mini tripod for positioning. Sadly it's about as stable as David Hasselhoff at an open bar.

Battery life? About 45 minutes. You can plug it in, but it won't recharge the battery while the projector is in use.

Noise? Yes. The cooling fan makes more noise than you'd expect.

Built in speaker? A sad joke. The fan is louder than the speaker, so make other sound arrangements.

Image quality in a dark room? Fairly decent. Great for an impromptu movie night or gaming.

Ease of use? Getting it to turn on is a little janky. First turn on the power switch, then hold the button to turn on the lamp. Say a prayer, be sure the computer is sending output through the provided VGA cord, and check your connection if the blue screen persists.

Focus? Rather touchy. It's not easy getting it right on that sweet spot, and don't ever expect perfect focus using a resolution higher than 800x600.

The bottom line is this: The person in charge desperately wants to show their latest Power Point. Your new Aaxa P2 is going to be the only available device for the task. It's dreadfully underpowered for the job, a little clumsy to get set up, but it will save the day and afford you a nice little coffee break while the big guy draws circles on the wall with his daughter's cat exerciser in a vain effort to highlight the most relevant aspects of his washed out presentation.

It's a trolls gold.

BoxWave ClearTouch Apple iPad mini Screen Protector (2-Pack) - Premium Quality Screen Guard to Shiel

I put the film on OK but the sticky glue from the paper tab was left on the front of the screen protector. I tried both of them and threw them away.

Anti-glare effect no so great but quite enough. A little bit harsh to install without any dust : the home-button hole makes it hard to remove the film because of the angle of the peeling, but since there is a second one for less than a single one from other vendors, it makes up for it.

Plug and play keyboard works great on my samsung smart HDTV. Comes with usb extender. Plugged into the tv usb port and placed the "dongle" where the IR would hit it.

Acer Aspire AS1410-2285 11.6-Inch Netbook Carrying Case (Deluxe Bag - Dark Blue / Black)

I just recieved the bag today but am pleased so far. It is hard to tell how durable or thick a bag or sleeve will be. The bag seems to be thick enough to protect some as much as just a bag can. it is small though. not sure what size my netbook is but it fit perfectly. It is big enough to hold the netbook, cords and some spare room left. It is well worth the money, in stores the bags are expensive and plain. I did not want a plain black bag since it is for my 7 year old son and it is hard to find nice bags for boys.

This is the only bag I could find that met my requirements. It is a good fit for my 11.6 inch notebook computer, it has room for a mouse and power supply, and it is reasonably priced. In fact, it is a very good value.

I would prefer a bit more protection for the edge of my notebook computer near the zipper opening of this bag. It really is a close fit, and the zipper area just seems a bit exposed.

I also think that the bag is just a tiny bit tacky looking. The zipper pulls just don't look right to me, and the colors are bright. I would prefer a more dignified appearance personally.

But in the end this is the best little bag I could find and I am enjoying it.

Motorola IMFree Handheld Instant Messenger Kit

• Up to seven handhelds can be used at the same time on a single base
• Supports up to 12 popular emoticons, up to six chat sessions simultaneously per handheld
• Built-in parental controls can limit who can send messages to the handheld and block certain chat invitations
• Works great on cable modems and DSL, and even works with dial up
• Included: IMfree unit with removable bezel, base with USB cable, NiMH rechargeable battery, plug in charger, CD ROM, user manual, one year limited warranty

I purchased a couple of these for my kids for Christmas, 2003. According to the tech specs, the transmission range for these things is 120 to 150 feet.

The units we received indicate 'out of range' when taken upstairs in our house, which is about 50 feet from the base unit.

I used Motorola's web support site and asked if it was possible that my units were defective. They sent me the URL to an FAQ, which told me that the working range for these things is 150 feet. Very frustrating. It seems they did not even read my question. To add insult to injury, their automated customer satisfaction followup email was emblazoned with the motto 'intelligence everywhere'. I beg to differ.

In summary, I do not recommend the IMfree.

Buy Motorola IMFree Handheld Instant Messenger Kit Now

Other than its somewhat-cute looks, the IMFree handheld is a terrible product, because it doesn't work. This is a big disappointment to me as I'm usually a big fan of Motorola's products.

First of all, the charging takes forever, and the units seem to have trouble holding the charge. BTW, you get one base and one handheld unit in each package. Kinda weird since I haven't found a way to buy the handheld unit separately. So you over-pay each time and get this large package with things you don't need.

Second, wireless range is truly terrible. If you live in a loft you'll probably be ok, but for those of us who live in walled houses, the reception completely drops after just a few feet when you move to the otherside of a wall.

Third, the keyboard sucks, and the screen sucks even more. Keys are very hard to hit, and the screen is not viewable in most lighting conditions.

Fourth, the IM program sucks. There's a slight but noticeable delay in IM, and it doesn't always tell you when your buddies log off.

In short, this is an alpha product, and you shouldn't have to pay for your frustrations.

We got both of our children, son 14 & daughter 10, one of these for christmas last year. My husband & both thought that for the small price we paid it might last a month & then fall apart, but to our surprise, almost a year later they are still working perfectly! They are worth every penny we paid for them & more. The kids can walk around the house & instant message with their friends. It is much easier than a laptop because of the small size which is about the size of a PDA. We downloaded the software & the base just plugs into one of our desktop computers; a very easy set up. They have the freedom to move around anywhere in our home & sometimes even manage to do chores while using the IMFree. I would say that if you have kids or teens that IM a lot, it would be a great gift, especially if you are trying to put off purchasing another computer. The IMFree would be a MUCH cheaper option.

Dear Lord, first of all for the record this thing sucks. It takes over 16 hours to charge the battery. It took twice as long for me because the charger for mine was irregular and did not fit correctly so it would occasionaly stop charging all together. (Way to go Motorola)Second, after using it a grand total of 2 times it stopped working all together. It simply did not turn on. Even during those two times it was a poor substitute for a computer. The lighting is poor and frankly the black and gray graphics are crappy. I didn't expect this to be perfect but I did expect it to be functional. I was going to return it for a new one but after this experience I am going to get a refund instead. Also as teenager this device is marketed towards me. However if this is what Motorola thinks I and my peers want they are sorely mistaken. First of all, this handheld needs a backlight and color screen. Also it is extremely annoying that u have to have the computer on the whole time. I have DSL so the computer just sits there the whole time. I would not mind paying extra for these features.

As for people who say the MX240a has terrible range, it must be interference with your area. I have an IMfree base station connected on top of an entertainment center (about a foot and a half away from the ceiling) in my basement, at about a foot away from the absolute front of my house. My room is at the back of my house, on the opposite side, upstairs. I can easily lay in bed and watch TV while talking on the MX240a. There is a tiny lag. TINY. I know this because I've left my AIM running on the PC downstairs and speakers on just to see when the sound cued downstairs, and compared it to when I got the message. Miniscule.

For those who say the keyboard sucks and screen sucks and all of this; try thinking of it compared to a phone. They keyboard on this thing is obviously designed so you're NOT typing traditional keyboarding style, but instead... thumb talk. Text messaging. This thing is a dream as compared to AIM's use of IM Forwarding to text messages on a cell phone. I'm an avid thumb typer with this, and I've had no problems.

The only thing missing is the use of a Timex Indiglo style backlight. That's absolutely it. Maybe a higher resolution LCD screen, but I see no purpose in having a full color backlit LCD screen, as this thing is to supplement for convenience, not replace your PC.

Although the common person to buy this is to get their teen off the computer, I bought it so I didn't have to sit in my basement studio, away from home theater, couches, bed, etc. to simply chat online without using a cell phone. May I stress, although aimed at, this product is NOT strictly for teenagers or preteens that you want off of the "family PC" ...it's for anyone who's tired of being stuck in the room with the PC just to talk online.

I paid approx. $45 for this thing at Circuit City, and it came with the base station. For a while (I haven't seen them since I bought this), they also sold the MX240a alone for about $15 less than the "starter kit"

I am very pleased, and could only ask for a simple backlight.

Franklin WGM-2037 Word Games Bookman Card

• Plays 10 games
• Makes learning fun for all age levels
• Includes old favorites such as hangman, jumble, and anagrams
• Includes advanced games like Word Blaster, Word Train, and Word Deduction
• Compatible with pocket and desktop Bookman models

I originally purchased this cartridge for my 11 year old to help her develop a broader vocabulary without realizing she was learning. She thoroughly enjoys playing "Hangman" and "Wordtrain", but the real surprise was how much her 14 year old brother enjoyed the other word games. The various skill levels allow for words that I don't even know! If this happens, a press of the button displays the dictionary entry for the word. While neither child cares for "Word Poker" or "Word Auction," the value of the other eight games makes the cartridge more than a worthwhile value. Other games include anagrams, jumble, word blaster (a speed spelling game), word deduction (a variation of word mastermind), memory challenge, word capture (a speed typing game), and Lotto for those of us who like to have our lottery numbers picked for us. All in all, the WORD GAMES cartridge has already provided more entertainment and learning value than I had anticipated.

This card is a good buy. I originally borrowed this card from my friend and since then have been stuck on Word Poker along with a few of the other games. While this card has many of the same games as the Franklin Electronic Dictionary I have, its still a good deal and very much worth buying!

GTMax 10pc Universal Colorful Capacitive TouchScreen Stylus with 3.5mm Adapter Plug

I would give this product one star, if it wasn't for the fact that you get ten of these in the package. They are pretty cheap, and it shows. A couple have already had the internal weight come free and start to shift around. This makes them pretty much useless. The good thing about these are that when you loose one, you don't feel bad about it!

I wrote a review before I touched the stylus..they were loose, over five of them had to be glued. I would order again but was disappointed in how pourly some of the pens where.

I got this case to replace a $39.99 marware which got average reviews. Wasn't expecting much for $16 but was pleasantly surprised to see that this case is actually very nice. It fits the kindle fire like a glove. With openings for the on/off switch and headphone jack. The flip stand works well keeping the kindle stable when viewing movies or even tapping the screen.

You can't adjust the flip stand, it only has one setting. But I do like the sturdiness of the flip stand. It has a flap on the back of the case that holds it in place. I can't complain at all as this case not only looks good but at $16 bucks it's not going to break the bank either.

Want Bluecell Black PU Leather Case / Cover Built-in Flip Stand for Kindle Fire E-Book Reader WI-FI Discount?

I ordered this case because the picture made it appear as though it would cover the kindle from all sides (i.e. enveloping the whole device). Accordingly, I thought it would protect the device better and be less likely to fall out.

When it arrived, it was packaged in cheap cellophane and had only a small foam insert. Clearly, not much to it. It was easy to tell this was a cheapo Chinese knockoff case that probably cost $0.75 to produce. This is the type of stuff you'd see at a a street vendor stall in Shenzhen, China. Even worse, upon opening, I was bowled over by fumes of paint/chemicals. It was so nasty that it was hard for me to even use the device without gagging from the noxious smell.

The next day, the case hadn't fully aired out and still smelled like the sweat shop from whence it came.

In addition to the perfume de Guangzhou smell, the case really didn't fit well. It bubbled up on the side and didn't stay flat with the Kindle Fire.

OVERALL: Buy something else. This is a waste even at $15.

Item was as advertised. Some older systems (5 years plus) won't recognize a USB keyboard until you boot into windows. In that case, if you need to enter the Bios Setup, a PS2 keyboard may be required such as this one.

• Includes MB460 MFP printer
• setup guides
• power cord
• toner cartridge and software CD.

Received the product and it did not have a fax option! The company creditted our S & H fees and we kept the machine anyways. 29 days later the scanner/copier option broke. They will not help us (a non-profit organization) because we did not keep the huge box it came in!! Keep you box for at least a month, because if you don't they will not help you at all!!! Very disappointed. Now we have to find the money to get someone to repair this machine.

The printer is working very well. It's inexpensive, works really well, has a wireless connection...in short...it's perfect for what we need. We are a very small office with just 3 people. We needed a double-duty copier / printer. We have another printer for scanning, so I don't know if or how well the scanner works.

Blue Green Flowers with Blue Butterfly on Black Snap on Hard Skin Shell Protector Cover Case for Sam

A few things with this cover...

1) the color of the case under the paint is white so any little scratch shows up.

2) the paint wore off just from putting it in and out of a pocket in my purse (nothing else in the pocket)

3) the edges of the bottom cover stuck out a little bit so your hand scratches against it. I had to take a file and file them down. Then I had a bunch of white showing so I had to color over it

4) the pattern is wrong so the stripes on the front and back are on opposite sides

5) One drop (from 2 ft onto my driveway) and the snap pieces on the top of the back cover broke off and it was unusable.
