  • strong and durable, light in weight
  • 11pins to 5pin + 3.5mm head jack mini usb stereo audio converter Y-cable
  • Convert the extUSB port on your device for charging via a mini USB cable
  • Convert the extUSB port on your device for audio output through a 3.5mm stereo headset

it does what it says. it charges your phone while you use the headphones.

i use it primarily to stream internet radio while charging the phone.

even though the price i paid for it, $10 seemed steep for me, it was worth the investment.

the length overall is about 4 inches.

the only reason i give it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the wires are quite thin and i am afraid that they will break. i have purchased Y cables of different types before where the cable per strand is as thick as a charging cable.

for this one, think of the charging cable split in two. thats about a good approximation of the diameter of each of the strands.

It was great that product came with a torx screwdriver, saved me trouble going out to buy one. Gave my creaky old ique 3600 a new lease on life. Used for 2 days so far (&2 charges), no problems to report yet.

Let me address the one really bad review. I got the video with bolero playing and found it quite helpful, even though I'd done this before and had written instructions by the original hacker who figured out how to replace the battery. So, I have a bit of knowledge.

The leather cover comes out by pinching inward on each side the black plastic bar at the bottom. There are 2 plastic hooks that point outward on each side. Most people don't use that I guess.

The other issue is that the left side rocker switch has to be carefully left in place, so you have to actually pull the motherboard to the right side of the case to free the rocker switch. I forgot about that too (I've replaced mine a few times, but each lasts about 2 years so I forget how). Then there's the little ir red cap at the top, it has 2 little nipples so you can see (need some magnification) how to put that back in.

I actually dislodged the rocker switch and the spring flew out. At least I didn't break anything. In case you do that too: There's 3 parts, the plastic frame that with tweezers and 2 hands you can put that spring back in by holding one side in with your finger and using the tweezers to depress the spring and put back in the other side. There's 2 little plastic retainers on either side for the spring. The circle part of the spring fits over a round pluglike piece of plastic. Then put the plastic back on the board, and the metal retainer fits back on top. Then try to be real careful when putting the board back in, put the rocker switch back in first, with the motherboard on an angle, then lower the right side of the mother board. Better yet, don't dislodge the rocker switch.

The other item is the power switch. Use some black electrical tape on the outside to keep it from falling out when you remove the case. No biggie if it does fall out, it goes back in easy. But you will be putting the case on with the main unit with motherboard on the bottom, so the switch can fall out as you place the top case back on the main board. They show you doing it sort of sideways, but then the ir red plastic tends to fall out that way.

My problem was that the bottom set of buttons had dislodged and when I put it all back together, the buttons were being pushed all the time. I removed the case again and saw how they snap into little holes.

Then there was a small cylinder rubber thing that wasn't in the video, but I'm hoping it's a newer rev that covers some metal cap at the top. It fell out too, and seemed to fit over that. Seems like I got that right.

And since I have 2 iques where my other's gps internal antenna broke long ago (but useful as a pda and I have an external antenna too), I figured I might want to swap the backs since my working unit that I replaced the battery for was cracked and swollen. Funny thing, I didn't remember dropping it.

Turns out the last battery I replaced was wrapped in air tight plastic and must have leaked or generated some sort of gas since it was like a blown up balloon. And THIS was enough pressure to crack the back of my ique. I took this old battery outside and carefully pin pricked it, and sure enough, some gas escaped and the battery shrunk down to its original size. I sure hope this new battery doesn't do this too. Anyway, with the new battery, the case reformed itself, although there's still the crack down the back. But all is working. I'm now going to buy another one for a spare or maybe replace the one in my spare unit.

Only after I installed everything did I discover that I hadn't seen the written instructions that came with this. On reading, they do seem pretty well written, but I still recommend the video.

Hope this tail helps someone else with this still great pda / gps device.

My Ique3600's battery was pretty much dead, and so I bought this battery as a replacement. It came with all the required tools, and a decent set of directions.

A warning to those doing this replacement: Remember to back up your Ique information before starting. I forgot, and lost all my address information from since my last synchronization. It might have been nice if they had included that in the 1st line of the directions, but it's really my own fault for not thinking that through.

The installation directions were otherwise very good, and included specific mention of how to twist things to get them apart. It wasn't trivial, but wasn't really that hard either, and it came apart and went back together just as they said. The only thing different for me was that they said to put the battery "label up" with the wire in the "bottom left", but on my battery "labelup" put the wire in the top left -which still reached the plug OK.

Others said their battery level indicator didn't work after doing this. I think mine DOES work, at least when I started it said about 50%, and after charging it said 100%. I guess I'll have to run it down and see if it gives me a good result. In the meantime, I used the Ique at church (it has my bible on it), and in 30 minutes according to the battery level indicator I hardly dented this battery, even with my screen at nearly full brightness (with the dead battery I had to work with the lowest brightness; full brightness would shut the machine down immediately).

With the tools provided in this kit I successfully replaced the battery in less than 1/2 hour. It apparently charges okay and does the job but the Garmin doesn't show the battery status as it did with the original so it's not possible to know if it needs to be recharged until it quits. As a result I try to keep it on the charged stand when I'm able.

igadgitz Dual Tone Black Durable Crystal Gel Skin (TPU) Case Cover for Google Nexus 7 Android 4.1 Ta

igadgitz Dual Tone Black Durable Crystal Gel Skin Case Cover for Google Nexus 7 Android 4.1 Tablet 8GB 16GB + Screen Protector
  • Custom made durable TPU case for your device.
  • Dual tone colours with a glossy & matt finish. Textured sides for added grip.
  • Full access to all tablet ports and controls, including rear faced speaker,power and volume button.
  • Supplied with stick-on screen protector for total protection to your device.

The case is pretty good for the price. It has a nice, sleek appearance on the back with a "S" accent. Also has two sidegrips.Every port is accessible (minus the smart cover port, no magnets in this case) plus the case comes on and off easily enough.

The downside is the back. It's smooth, maybe a bit too smooth. While it does protect, I'm a bit worried of it slipping. Luckily you can still hold it one handed. Unfortunately the front isn't protected that much as in you can't lay it down face flat without scratches.

That's where the screen protecter comes in, but it seems a bit cheap. Got bubbles and dented it when I tried to reapply. Had to get rid of it sadly.

Overall this is a good case appearance wise(for the price), protects the back well and the screen protector might just work for you if your careful enough.

Ion iCade Mobile Game Controller for iPhone/iPod Touch (ICG07)

Ion iCade Mobile Game Controller for iPhone/iPod Touch
  • Adds physical buttons and d-pad to your iPhone and iPod touch gaming
  • Rotating cradle allows for landscape and portrait views of gaming action
  • Connects using wireless Bluetooth technology
  • Works with Frogger Decades, Temple Run, and hundreds of games
  • Ergonomic design for hours of comfortable gameplay

I normally don't write reviews, but I noticed that I bought this product before it had any reviews and now it still doesn't. I use this with a jailbroken iPod Touch to emulate old video game systems wherever I want. Playing NES games using a touch screen just doesn't work. This does. Set up is easier in some emulators than in others. It set up without a hitch for emulators for: Genesis, NES, Gameboy and Gameboy Color. It set up easily with the SNES emulator with one caveat; there aren't enough buttons....it is one button short. This means that either you don't I assign the least used button for a game, or you don't assign an "emulation menu" button. The MAME emulator is a pain to set up with this, but with perseverence it'll work. That being said, my iPod Touch 4G doesn't seem to have enough internal power to connect to Bluetooth and run the MAME emulator so it crashes anyway (this is a limitation of the iPod, not the controller).

Overall I gave this 5 stars. The "one button short" issue I described with the SNES emulator is an easy work around. The controller was much more responsive than I expected. I've noticed no lag (except for MAME, which is a hardware issue) and can play some of the more intense button pushing games without any button pushed not registering.

The biggest con with this controller is that the battery case has to be unscrewed to change the batteries, which means if you want back up batteries, you'll need a backup screw driver as well.

Wireless USB HandHeld Finger Trackball Mouse with Laser Pointer

Wireless USB HandHeld Finger Trackball Mouse with Laser PointerTotally love this toy. Use it for doing lots of point and click applications. Not so great for using all the time because it requires a lot of fine motor skills. I love to pick it up and use the roller ball and the trigger as the left click. The laser is red and pretty good. I have a small (12'x36') conference room I use it in with 2 computers and it's fine. There is a little magnet under the trigger where the small USB dongle stays so I don't lose it, which is great. I like the little black pouch it comes with also. It keeps the device, dongle, and charging cable all togther. The other great thing about this is the scrolling wheel. Really, whether presentation or just working on a lot of mouse oriented things (building diagrams in Vizio or Packet Tracer), it works out well. Battery life is pretty sweet too. The reviews about it disconnecting, yeah I guess it does, but that doesn't bother me a lot. The little connect button is near my trigger finger and I don't find it annoying but some people might. Also, the review regarding hand cramping, yes, I'm sure it's capable of that if this was all you used for a while, but I usually use it while and don't get fixed into a stationary motion so I have not experienced the cramping, but I could also see how that would be possible.

I use this device both as a mouse and as a presentation remote or clicker and it's great. It's also a great talking piece amongst geeks. Really like this.

This product is simply outstanding! It can be used for on the go lap top work...on the train commute...or in the field for business, etc.. .

I like its' ease of use and the fact that it does NOT need batteries. My old mouse needed batteries...this model, you simply plug into a USB to charge internal battery.

Two thumbs up!

Buy Wireless USB HandHeld Finger Trackball Mouse with Laser Pointer Now

I loved the concept of this product: a laser pointer + an ergonomic mouse + a cordless presentation gadget. After using it, a few downsides have bubbled to the surface. The usb dongle is pleasantly small, but it fell out of the packaging, and I almost lost it/stepped on it seconds after opening the box. The sync/connection was clumsy. I had to wait for the drivers to install themselves, restart my machine, plug the powercord back into the mouse, and press the connect button repeatedly before the mouse would work. I have to do the last two steps every time I plug in the dongle. A power on/off switch would be nice, help to conserve power, and would incorporate well with the addition of a place to hold the usb dongle: dongle in means off; dongle out means on. The laser pointer is great, and works until the mouse's battery is almost kaput. The buttons are responsive, but the trackball stutters. There is a green light that changes from blinking to solid when charging is done (maybe?) and to red when it needs charging. I think I'm going to get the arc touch mouse and just stick with my Logitech R400 (which HAS a place for the usb dongle AND an on/off switch) for presentations. This guy's going into the failed gadget drawer.

Was good while it worked, but then thrack ball stopped working within 1 month of purchase. It also lost charge pretty quickly. : (

My carpel tunnel syndrome was being aggravated by the position of the bellybutton on the laptop from the buttons. I tried a bunch of corded and wireless mice. This one works well for me. I am right handed, but can mouse easily with the left. If you are looking for ultra-precision, this is not the mouse you want, but if you just want to take some stress off of your carpel tunnel nerves, this one works very nicely. It also seems to have a decent range from the machine, and others have commented on its use as a pretty good tool for giving a talk. I can't respond to that, as I've not had to use it for that. Although, while I don't have a cat, the laser pointer seems like it could come in really handy.

Garmin iQue M3 Pocket PC integrated with GPS

Garmin iQue M3 Pocket PC integrated with GPS
  • Product Type - GPS
  • Computing Software - Microsoft Pocket Outlook, Internet Explorer,Word and Excel, Windows Media Player, MSN Messenger Service.
  • Processor - 312-MHz Intel PXA 271 Xscale processor, dedicated 48 MHz ARM7 GPS coprocessor.
  • Unit size/weight - 5.0x 2.8x 0.74 inch / 5.9 oz.
  • Screen dimensions - 3.5-inchdiagonal.

I have been using the Garmin iQue M3 for five months. This is my first PDA and my first GPS. I use it daily. It is very helpful and causes me little trouble. The list of tasks the Garmin iQue M3 is capable of performing is long. It keeps track my office and personal contacts, appointments, task lists, and notes, which are synchronized with my office and home computer. I use it on business and personal trips as a GPS. I use it for email and Internet with an optional wifi card. I use it to learn Spanish and to watch movies (requires memory card). If you need both a PDA and a GPS the Garmin is worth considering. I recommend getting a memory card and I have never used the Garmin without one. Strengths: good PDA, good GPS, smooth integration of the two, and car mount. Weaknesses: no built in wifi, low memory, and the battery cannot be replaced by the user.

This is one of my first GPS and it has been excellent! I paid a whopping low $377 shipped for it, brand new!

The 3D maps, Points-of-Interests, and voice-guided turn-by-turn directions are very accurate...just like the same in the crazy expensive Nuvi 350...especially when you enable the WAAS feature! This allows nearly superior accuracy over conventional tracking.

The off-route calculation is fast and efficient after going off rate for about 1000 feet... route calculations are pretty quick usually taking about 10-15 seconds. The voice prompts are clear and audible.

Yes sometimes this unit hangs once in a while (especially when you are searching for a location and then you go back and try to browse a map).

Overall this is a great PDA with integrated GPS. It is a lot better than the M5 because it features 3D mapping. The M4 is the latest of the M-series family of Garmin GPS/PDA and that (m4) features integrated maps already onto the PDA. But for me, the 512MB SD card is more than capable of holding 75% of the North American Continent, so the M3 is probably a wiser choice considering it is a lot cheaper than the M4! The entire state of California only requires less than 70 megabytes of storage.

Other features include the SDIO/SD slot which allows wireless 802.11b capabilities if you buy a $50 wireless card.

Overall this is a excellent buy if you are looking for a portable PDA with integrated GPS and can get it for under $400.

I bought this unit and was excited to see how it performed. It turned on and acquired the satellites within 10 minitues initially, all ok. I spent the next 4 days trying to get it to work with my computer. After several emails and phone conversations, Garmin finally told me the deal. No Garmin unit is designed to work with Windows XP Media Edition. Additionally, their USB connection will only work if the USB chips are Intel. The following chips will definitely not work: ALI, NEC,or VIA. I am not happy with Garmin. They could have saved me a lot of grief by stating this in their advertisements or home page technical FAQs.

Overall I think, for my money, nothing beats this product...hands down. The reviews about slow satelite connection or slow off route recalculation do it a kind of disservice. These people are either impatient or to "tech savy" for this piece of equipment. Putting half the US on a 256mb card or having a wifi connection on the go is waaayyy worth a slow connection here and there. This total package is what any "average Joe" can handle and would be well worth any pennies spent.

As soon as I recieved my Garmin M3, I went to garmin.com and downloaded the latest updates which were very easy to download and apply. This should be standard practice anytime anyone purchases a PDA running a version of Windows. The M3 has preformed flawlessly for 2 weeks straight. I'm a heavy PDA user and I've put this thing through it's course. It hasn't locked up or needed to be reset once since I've been using it. The GPS works flawlessly. The included window cradle mount for my car is great and I like the fact that it charges when it's in the cradle. The PDA works fine for my contacts, calendar and tasks. Even a few games I have on it work fine. If you need a GPS and use a PDA regularly then this is the unit for you.

Aluratek APB01F USB 5000 mAh External Battery Pack and Charger for iPod, iPhone, iPad, eReaders, and

Aluratek APB01F USB 5000 mAh External Battery Pack and Charger for iPod, iPhone, iPad, eReaders, and more
  • Instantly charge your devices when you don't have an AC outlet available
  • Small and compact design outputs up to 5000 mAh of power to charge most devices currently on the market via USB or the included connector tips
  • APB01F 5000mAh External Battery pack and Charger for Apple Ipad/Ipad 2 iPhone 4 4G 3Gs 3G (AT&T and verizon), iPod Touch (1G 2G 3G 4G), Motorola Droid, HTC Android EVO, Blackberry, Kindle D
  • adapter tips included support Motorola, Nokia, Sony Ericson, Nokia, Apple,Blackberry Devices
  • Micro USB Tip included to support most Micro USB powered Devices

Now that we're seeing the beginnings of the first true 4G mobile networks, smartphones and tablets are becoming an increasingly integral part of many people's daily lives. Whereas it's pretty commonplace to sit down somewhere with your laptop plugged in while you work, modern tablets and smartphones allow us to do our computing and gaming on-the-go. Even with the advances in battery technology and power-saving LED displays, it's tough for the average user to make it through a full day on their mobile device without running out of juice.

Enter devices like this -at 5000mAh, it's got enough power to completely charge most smartphones 2-3 times. Even running 4G and watching streaming videos on your phone, you can comfortably be away from the charger for a couple days without having to worry. It'll also give you about a 75% boost on your tablet battery (iPad 2 battery is just shy of 7000 mAh).

This device is fairly portable -a little bulkier than a kit-kat bar -and should fit easily into your purse or backpack... I wouldn't really want to carry it in my pocket, but I guess it'd fit fair easily into a zippered jacket pocket or something. Once you add in the necessary cable, though, it can start getting sorta bulky.

Speaking of bulk, one thing that sorta bugged me about this device was the proprietary charging cable. So many devices nowadays are mini-USB. It's nice having a standard plug. Why, then, do you have to use some weird DC adapter to charge this portable battery? It already comes with a mini-USB cable for use with smartphones and such -just let it charge with that! Since this device must be charged using the proprietary USB-to-DC plug, if you happen to lose it, you're done. Sorta sucks. For this reason (and for the added portability) I'd prefer to stick with a smaller charger like the Belkin F8M158tt Power Pack 1000. Sure, it doesn't have quite the same capacity, but how often are you really going to be needing several days' worth of portable charge on your smartphone in between opportunities to plug it into a wall outlet or USB port?

Anyway, this is a decent device. It comes with a whole range of adapters that allow you to plug it into your smartphone, normal phone iPad / iPod, etc. It's got great capacity but suffers from being a bit bulkier than lower-capacity battery units and a proprietary charge cable. While this could be a good workhorse for iPad users, I'm thinking of these types of devices as being primarily used to extend the life of smartphones for folks on-the-go. As such, this is just a little too bulky to be practical for my daily use. I'd give it a higher rating but the DC charge cable bugs me.

You can read all the specific details pertaining to this device in all the other reviews. I just wanted to correct the misconception that it will only charge via a computer USB port. This is not true. I used my HP Touchpad charger and it worked perfectly. This battery pack requires a charger capable of 1.3 amps. The iPhone charger only is .5amps (I believe). Any aftermarket charger that provides a higher current should work fine.

Only reason I am not making this a 5 star item is for the slight bulkiness of the pack. At the discounted price it can not be beat.

My first review of this product would have been an enthusiastic 5 star recommendation; however, having had it for a few months I have found a massive drawback a faulty USB cable. I contacted the company to see if they would send me a new one, and indeed they would if I paid 10 dollars for the cable and 9.95 in shipping. Needless to say I was not amendable to doing that.

When I originally received this item, I didn't use it right off as I never found that I was able to drain my Samsung Infuse cell phone or IPod touch 4th gen completely of batteries and find myself no where near a charger. I kept it in my purse just in case, and I did find myself needing it when I traveled extensively in November for both business and pleasure. First I found myself taking many pictures, and sending those pictures to Facebook, draining my cell of battery when I visited Walt Disney World. I was very lucky to have had this to charge my cell while we took a break for lunch or dinner. Secondly, when I traveled to Denver on business from Boston, I found I had forgotten to charge my IPod before I left. Having this in my purse was a Godsend for the 5 hour flight! After these experiences I became diligent about keeping the external battery pack charged, just in case.

Unfortunately, the USB cable (and its' attachments to charge my cell and Ipod) went dead in January as I was on the road for business again. I was unimpressed by the lack of customer service and how long it took them to get back to me only to tell me that I would have to shell out 20 dollars for a replacement cable. My work around for this is inconvenient, but it works I carry an IPod and USB mini cable with the battery to be able to use it to charge when needed. This is unwieldy, but again it works. The battery still works fabulously, so I will rate this at 3 stars for that, but be aware of the 0 star customer service and usb cable.

This is a rechargeable battery that you charge up using your computer's USB port. Once it is charged, then you can plug any number of electronic devices into this battery, using the USB port in the battery, to run or charge your device from it. I've used this to charge up my 2nd generation iTouch iPod(r), my iPad2(r), and my Blackberry(r) Tour phone. (Obviously not all at the same time; just one at a time, grin).

When you charge this from your computer, it has 3 blue lights that will light up as it becomes fully charged (1 blue light means it's about 1/3 charged up, 2 lights is 2/3rds). It comes with all the cables to charge the battery from your USB port, and to then charge or run your devices. It does not come with a AC adapter to charge your battery from a wall plug, and it does not come with a 12 volt adapter to charge the battery from your car's 12 volt accessory port (cigarette lighter). To charge/run your device, select the right cable with the right connector for your device, plug it into your device and into the battery, and then there is a button on the batter to push to turn the charging on. While you are running/charging off the battery, the blue lights will tell you about how much battery you have left: 3 lights, full; 2 lights, 2/3rds; 1 light, 1/3rd. I don't have a good way to tell you how many hours this battery will run before you needs to recharge it again, but my experience has been really good. It's not like I have to charge it up each day. I don't use it more than about once a week in an emergency when one of my devices needs a charge. High recommended! The battery is small enough to fit in most pockets, less than 3 inches x 4 inches and about 3/4 inches thick.

This is a pretty good product. It's a little bulky, but it carries enough charge for multiple full recharges of my iPod Touch. The size is suitable for carrying in a bag, probably not a pocket. The cable system works fairly well. I was a little dubious at first when I saw one cable with so many attachments, but it worked fine. I think the charger should have come with a cable that lets you charge it from the wall. Out of the box, the battery pack must be charged from a computer using the USB. However, I'm sure you could find an after-market cable to charge from the wall socket easily enough.

This clip CAN"T be damaged...I've inadvertly tried MANY times! It doesn't come with the little button to attach to your phone...so buy the one that is needed for it or you will have to make one like I did. A normal plastic button won't work with it and even if you ground it down to fit, it would be the weak link and break anyways. If you like your phone on your belt and you break them all the time...buy this one. IT WILL OUTLAST YOUR BELT!

Acase Capacitive Stylus Pen Combo (Twist Style) for Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Blackberry Playbook

Acase Capacitive Stylus Pen Combo for Apple iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Blackberry Playbook
  • Works on any capacitive touch screen
  • Built in pen allows for easy paper note taking
  • Twist style convenience
  • Great for the times you can't or don't want to use your fingers
  • Avaliable in Black and White

I know there are many who completely dismiss the use of a stylus and will only use a finger to manipulate a device, but I enjoy the option. I've got large hands and while the iPad has a large enough screen to be useful, touch typing on a smartphone is not always easy. Even on an iPad, when more accuracy is needed, a stylus works better for me. I'm also afraid I have not completely given up on paper-based forms and documents and always need to have a pen handy. I looked for a stylus that combined a capacitive rubber tip (the foam types such as Pogo just don't feel right to me) with a ballpoint pen. The Kensington comes close, as does the other Acase combo, but both suffer from a pen-cap that, once removed for writing, won't fit over the other end for temporarily storage. I can't just ditch the cap either, since the clip is attached to it and without the clip it won't stay in place in my pocket, not to mention that the pen would be exposed and subject to marking anything it came in contact with.

This Acase twist-style combo stulus/pen seems to have gotten it right. It uses a "Cross" type mechanism to expose the pen, with the capacitive-rubber end always exposed and accessible. The pen refills are Cross-type also, so quality refills are readily available, although the one that came pre-installed has worked well. The stylus works just fine. I find it a lot more accurate than my finger. Time will tell how durable the rubber tip is, but it seems ok so far. Using it as a pen also works well. It is heavy enough and long enough to feel like a normal pen. The only drawback I would have is that the Acase logo is a little too prominently plastered on the side of the pen. I would prefer a plain barrel and not have to always advertise for a company, but that's just me.

We decided to try out 5 stylus in the office and between us, all 4 preferred this one over all of the rest. It has the best contact response with the screen ie. you can lightly "drag" it across the screen and it will mark on the iPad. With all of the others, you had to "press" to get a mark. Not having to press GREATLY reduces hand stress and fatigue. It's also very handy having a real pen on hand as well.

We do wish that it had a Tether. That would make for the perfect option.

Both the capacitive tip and the pen work flawlessly. The pen is very high quality. It never blotches at the tip like some cheap ballpoints do and so far has not leaked.

It works as advertised. I wish the technology would advance so there could be thinner "nibs" for finer writing & drawing. The response on the tablet requires slower than normal movement. Maybe that's the tablet's fault??? I just got a stylus from Stylus-R-Us which cost $25. It has better response but still, the line is not as fine as I would like.

I should have looked at the product better, I was expecting a twist at the bottom to produce either a pen or stylus. In reality the stylus is on the other end it is far from a fine point. Will be looking elsewhere for a capacitive stylus with a fine tip.

Pink Hard PC case for iPad 2 Compatiable with iPad 2 Smart Cover

Pink Hard PC case for iPad 2 Compatiable with iPad 2 Smart Cover
  • iPad 2 not included. Apple Smart Cover not Included
  • Keeps your iPad 2 protected from scratches and dents. Made from High Quality Poly Carbonate to ensure durability and protection.
  • Total access to all iPad 2 buttons and ports without having to remove case.
  • Designed to fit snuggly to your iPad for a slim look.
  • Compatible with Apple Smart Cover. Color: Pink.

I love the color of this case! I can still see the engraving on my iPad and it looks good with my pink smart cover. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because it could wrap around the iPad a little better to protect the top and bottom. It does its job, but the clear one I have protects it a little better.

I took the cover off three times and the corner broke! Once it breaks at the corner, you won't be able to use it! When I took my iPad to the apple store, it took three people to get the case off! It is really difficult to take this off without breaking it.

Belkin 15 AND 1 MEDIA READER/WRITER ( F5U249 )

Belkin 15 AND 1 MEDIA READER/WRITER
  • Media reader for 15 different types
  • Works with handhelds, MP3 players, digital cameras and other devices
  • Up to 40 times faster than USB 1.1
  • Simple interface
  • Lifetime warranty

I've been using this card reader for 2 years. I use it daily and enjoy it very much. I bought a 2GB SD card for my Treo and unfortunately this card reader will not work with it. The 2GB card works in my Treo and on my Compaq Laptop (Texas Instruments chipset). So I called Belkin tech support and the rep was very familiar with this type of call. He said there is nothing he can do for me at this time, Belkin products do not support 2GB yet. Oh well.

Buy Belkin 15 AND 1 MEDIA READER/WRITER ( F5U249 ) Now

Belkin now has the Revision 3 (three) of the product available which supports 2GB SD Cards. Check if you have a little sticker on the bottom of your cardreader.

I contacted technical support if the product number and asked "guess what my problem is", Support guessed right and assumed its the 2 GB SD problem and offered an exchange free of charge.

I give Belkin a big plus for the hassle free exchange, however a similar big minus for selling outdated products in the first place and hoping no one notices. Therefor, three stars.

With the size of memory cards going up and up, you don't want to be stuck with a reader that doesn't support > 1GB size cards. And no, they don't tell you that it doesn't support > 1GB in their product literature or manual. Note that I checked with Belkin Tech Support (who I must admit replied relatively quickly). See below:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Belkin Technical Support. Unfortunately our media readers do not support media over 1Gig. If you have further questions or comments, please feel free to contact us at (800) 223-5546 ext. 2263 Between the hours of 6:00 am 5:00 pm Pacific time.

Compact, fast and looks good on my desk. Works well for all cards but doesn't recognize SD cards 2GB and larger. I wish I would've known that when I bought it last year. I contacted customer support to see if I could exchange for a newer version or if they had a firmware fix. No on both. They just said it doesn't support 2GB or larger cards.

I needed a reader for SmartMedia cards and this one works perfectly. Just stick the card in and it shows up in your folders correctly identified. It also reads all the other cards I use just as easily. Usb port hook up is as simple as you can have also.

I've used Boxwave screen protector products on mobile phones and PDA devices, so it was a no-brainer for me to buy one for my newly-acquired PSP. Unfortunately, my screen protector was creased in shipping (darned USPS) and was also cut incorrectly so it had an diagonal upper edge and the cutouts for the dpad buttons and other buttons weren't in the correct location. I contacted Boxwave about a replacement since this one was faulty and they shipped out a new one. Hopefully this new one won't be defective, since the PSP's screen isn't exactly durable when it comes to microscratches, etc.

It is an expensive item for what it is, although after it is put on the LCD screen, you can hardly notice that the protector is on the screen. Get it right the first time because even though they claim it is reusable, it doesn't look the same as when it was first put on. It is worth the money though and we have bought the same product for different type screens. Great protection, great product.

Kodak PlaySport HD Waterproof Pocket Video Camera 2 Item Travel Bundle: Micro USB to USB Cable (3 Fe

Kodak PlaySport HD Waterproof Pocket Video Camera 2 Item Travel Bundle: Micro USB to USB Cable and Wall Charger with Carabiner Key Chain
  • The USB 2.0 cable is great for charging or to transfer data.
  • The pocket sized, lightweight wall and travel charger works with voltage 100V - 240V.
  • The handy Gizmo Dorks key chain provides a quick and efficient way to hook and unhook keys quickly.
  • This purchase includes a USB Cable, wall charger, key chain

Leading out with the bad news, the first USB cable and wall charger I received did not work, but instead of dumping a bad review on Gizmo Dorks, I sent them an email through Amazon. Gizmo D. responded very quickly and sent me a new USB cable and wall charger that works just fine (No charge? No charge...for a replacement). The problem with the first shipment, I believe, was a bad USB cable (not designed for both data transfer and charging). It was a bit of a hassle, but considering that Kodak charges $24.99 for the USB cable sans wall charger, it was a stupendous deal. I recommend Gizmo Dorks...great seller. And actually, I use the little blue carabiner too...slather some more icing on my cake please!

HP iPAQ FA119A#AC3 Cover Pack for 3600, 3700, 3800, 3900, 5400 series

HP iPAQ FA119A#AC3  Cover Pack for 3600, 3700, 3800, 3900, 5400 series
  • OEM
  • Genuine Compaq/HP product
  • High quality

This plastic case from HP perfectly fits the iPAQ. It has the advantages of fitting into the Compaq cradle, has a transparent front panel which allows you to see the display without having to open it, it adds very little to the size of the iPAQ, and it feels very nice in your hand.

I tried the aluminum iConcepts case and found that one to be very unsatisfactory. I recommend that you get this HP case instead.

Motorola Q Verizon PDA Standard Lithium-ion Slim Battery (850mah)

Motorola Q Verizon PDA Standard Lithium-ion Slim BatteryThis battery doesn't quite fit nicely into the battery compartment like the one that came w/ the Moto Q does -you have to sort of force it in, and trying to get it out can be hard. Also, a red "x" shows up on the Moto Q screen after it charges for a while. Could the red "x" mean that it's defective (the Moto Q authorized battery doesn't have this red "x" problem)? The vendor sent me another battery after I expressed concerns about its functionality but the red "x" also shows up on the second one. The battery will, however, make the Moto Q work ... well, sort of. The Moto Q seems to behave differently with this battery.

I'm reluctant to use this battery except in an emergency for fear it might damage the Moto Q.

LG VX9900 enV Verizon Wireless Battery + Car Charger + Wall Charger 3 Kit

LG VX9900 enV Verizon Wireless Battery + Car Charger + Wall Charger 3 Kit
  • Quality- Brand new non OEM high quality lithium-ion battery.
  • Quality- Brand new high quality rapid car charger. Non-OEM
  • Quality- Brand new non-OEM high quality rapid home/travel charger.
  • Compatibility: LG VX9900 enV Verizon Wireless

I bought this battery + car charger + wall charger kit because our wall charger broke and we did not have a car charger. I was thrilled to be getting an extra battery too. This would have been a great deal if the battery actually worked! It didn't even work a little--I could have stuck a potato chip in the back of the phone and gotten more power. Maybe it wasn't even a battery, maybe the company got confused and sent me a piece of cardboard. Well, I'm giving it a 3 star because I at least got what I needed for a good enough deal. I just don't like to be suckered by a bogus item. Thank heavens I didn't need a battery.

The ordered arrived quickly to my door. I have used the battery and it works great. The car and wall charger both had the same issue with the connector (to the phone) coming apart after the first or second use. I just used a little super glue to put both connectors back together and they are working fine, now. Note: The battery cover is gray, which is part of the battery so it looks a little strange on my green enV, but it does work fine.

Want LG VX9900 enV Verizon Wireless Battery + Car Charger + Wall Charger 3 Kit Discount?

This battery was a definite step up from the dead one that I'd limped along with for so long. Since it was reconditioned or maybe because it was so old, the battery life was not what I expected from a "new" battery. With that said, however, the price was beyond great for what I received. I would definitely recommed for someone looking for a cheap battery without paying store prices.

Great buy was really cheap and fast shipping couldnt find this anywhere else was an old phone so they dont sell them anymore I'm very happy with this purchase thanks so much.
