HP iPAQ 111 Classic Handheld (FA979AA#ABA) (110 Series)

HP iPAQ 111 Classic Handheld
  • Handheld PDA with Windows Mobile 6 Classic operating system and 3.5-inch touchscreen
  • View and edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files with Microsoft Office Mobile; sync email and calendar from desktop with Outlook Mobile
  • Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g); Bluetooth connectivity for handsfree devices and peripherals; expansion slot for optional SD/SDIO memory cards
  • Listen to music and watch videos using Windows Media Player 10 Mobile; view, share, and manage photos
  • What's in the Box: HP IPAQ 111, standard battery, stylus, AC Adapter with power cord, mini USB synchronization/charge cable, slip case, documentation, HP iPAQ

I have owned several Pocket PCs, including a few earlier versions of the iPaq. Of the ones I have tried, this is probably the best, though its not a great leap forward. Having WiFi, Bluetooth, SDHC support (previous versions didn't support the new higher capacity cards that this one does I have an 8Gb SD card in mine), a standard USB connection (previous iPaqs I owned use a proprietary USB connector) a relatively fast processor, the latest version of Windows Mobile all whilst retaining a relatively small form factor is a strong combination. Whilst many will opt for a Pocket PC phone (as my last Windows Mobile device was), having a seperate PDA from your phone has advantages for some e.g. if you are obliged to use a particular mobile phone for work (as I am) then you don't need the phone features on your PDA. With this device I can keep all of my personal contacts seperate from the business contacts on my phone and use the bluetooth feature to get my phone (a Blackberry Pearl) to dial any number I select on my iPaq. I have read other reviews on Amazon and can't say I have experienced any of the problems described. The screen on my iPaq works fine (no odd colours displayed) and windows media player has not yet crashed on my once (and I have listened to quite a lot of music and watched video on it). Overall, not a stunning leap forward but hard to find fault with it.

Buy HP iPAQ 111 Classic Handheld (FA979AA#ABA) (110 Series) Now

I eagerly anticipated the release of the 110 to replace my aging ipaq 4150. It made me appreciate what a great pda that one was.

What I like about the 110-

-Small size. Not quite as small as the 4150, but very close. It's snug but still fits my Sena case.

-Synchronizing with Exchange Server. Email, tasks and calendar sync great.

-Build quality. Feels like a quality product and should be pretty durable.

-BT and Wifi work well.

What I don't like-

-WM6 is buggy and slow. It locks up, runs sluggish and I have to soft reset frequently. My WM2003 pda did not have these issues.

-More memory would have been nice.

-Did not come with a backup program.

I'm glad HP came out with a classic(no phone) PDA. It's a great solution for me. I like this unit but I can get things done faster with my old 4150.

Excellent PDA (or Pocket PC) only one of the few new models that you will see in the market. I use to be a Palm fan but turned to the dark side because there are no new palm PDA models, the Palm TX is 3 year old technology and still sells for the same price. I had this one for over 1 month and is perfect. Connects to the wi-fi internet in cafes fast and easy. I am in the medical field and I store manuals and drug information.

I also bought a 2GB SD expansion card where I store all my family pictures and most of the software downloaded. It even comes with a nice leather slipcase. Never need any reset, so far no regrets!

The only problem was that my desktop has Windows vista and I bought office 07, but it doesnt come with office outlook 07 that you need for the instalation and is about S/90 in amazon. No problems synchronizing with vista. Good luck.

Want HP iPAQ 111 Classic Handheld (FA979AA#ABA) (110 Series) Discount?

Wife got me the iPaq for my birthday. The box does say 110 but the HP asset view utility shows the Model ID as "HP iPaq 111 Classic Handheld". Since I have never owned a Pocket PC before it took me a while to find all the software I would need to use (Acrobat Reader for Pocket PC, Google Maps, etc....).

Pros (in my short experience):

1. BT and Wireless work great I prefer transferring files this way though dont hope to set up WPA PEAP/MSCHAPv2 without a struggle.

2. Office Mobile is a great bonus. Word is quick and responsive using the registry I use this as a default for most text files.

3. All the free WM5 and WM2003 utilities I have tried so far work just fine on WM 6.

4. I am not a heavy user, but task switching seemed fairly quick and the interface responsive.

5. Handwriting recognition just awesome (I scrawl)

Cons:

1. Battery life does not seem as great as I would have liked (especially for reading books).

2. Pocket IE (the default browser) is painful.

3. Sometimes switching between the keyboard and the transcriber is a little painful

For those of you who just need a portable device to feel connected this is a pretty good toy!

I just got this PDA for my son, so I'll let him do the review...

Hello, Chris here. Well, I can say one thing, Amazon's shipping is pretty fast when something is in stock. We got it Tuesday, after ordering it Sunday. If only all the accessories came at the same time, but it's ok.

To the device itself..

I've seen review videos before, detailing the unboxing of a handheld device, thinking, why? Well, now I know why. It's a wonderful thing to see a pretty "cool" and handy box design. The box interior, as has been seen in various reviews online, has some detail about the iPaq itself, and the handheld is well-protected from damage. Everything is organized, and I didn't notice anything in the box that didn't seem atleast necessary.

Setting up the iPaq was a breeze, in fact, all I did personally was just update my PC's Adobe Acrobat Reader, and install the last freeware version of TCPMP (a media player) to the iPaq. For those of you that may be interested, yes, TCPMP v7.2 does indeed work with Windows Mobile 6. Everything else on this iPaq is "stock", from the factory, atleast for now.

Afew things I'd like to mention.. There is a kind of glitch common to alot of iPaqs, in that ActiveSync will turn the device on quite often, trying to connect to the PC, whether there's a cable or not. This can drain the battery "a little bit" (between 3% and 5% over 24 hours, I've heard). There is a fix for this if you search online, but it's very simple. I noticed the "glitch" within afew minutes of having the iPaq out of the box, but I was prepared, and the fix worked. Also, as I'm sure many will make note of, the power button is in an "awkward" place, very close to the voice recorder button. If you hold the iPaq just right, or keep it in a clamshell case of some kind, this probably won't be a problem, but I've already accidentally recorded myself, while trying to put the iPaq in it's included slip-case. If you remember where the record button is, however, it likely won't be a significant problem.

I know this is quick for a proper review, posting it the following morning from receiving the device in the mail, but if anything changes, I'll update it, promise.

Wi-fi connection is very strong. Lastnight just sitting in my bedroom messing with it, I was able to connect to a neighbor's WLAN hub, and access the internet. I haven't been able to check out the bluetooth capability, as I don't have anything that uses it at the moment. I don't foresee myself getting a bluetooth keyboard in the near future, or headphones. The jack-in headphones I have work GREAT with the 3.5mm jack on the iPaq. Audio quality is fine. If you use the speaker, the only way you'll get good output is in a mausoleum with no other noises. This device's speaker was probably an afterthought, but that's ok, as headphones are perfectly good. A speaker system that connects to the 3.5mm jack should work also. I have a small battery-powered one that is for mp3 players, and the iPaq connects with it nicely.

I converted a music video for play with Windows Media on the iPaq. It played ok. Windows Media on a mobile device is adequate, but I personally look for other players whenever possible, especially for larger video and audio files. The iPaq's included PDF and TXT programs work fine. HP's Photosmart Mobile does a great job of viewing images, but that's expected. The device is alittle more compact than I thought, but I like it. Now that I have installed the familiar and more functional TCPMP software, I have no real complaints. Battery life is good. The device responds to my input. I can do tasks without waiting for the device to "catch up" with me. It connects via a standard mini-USB connector, however, there are some non-HP connectors that WILL NOT work with the iPaq. Please be aware of that. Some "professional" reviewers on various websites have made a point of mentioning that the iPaq won't connect with their non-HP cable, and I think personally that's rather juvenile. Reasonably, you can't expect a company to be responsible if another company's plug won't fit in their socket, right? Just use common sense, do alittle research online, and there's nothing at all I can complain about with this iPaq. I love it. Even though I've had it less than 24 hours. LOL!

**Update** Sunday, 04/27/2008

----------

While I mentioned that there was a problem with the power and record buttons being very close together, I'd like to say this afternoon I fiddled with the buttons settings, and sure enough, there is a way to shut the record button off. So, there are as of now no complaints whatsoever that I have with this PDA.

I've been using this iPaq for afew months now, and it's still just as good today as the day I unboxed it. I loaded up my first feature-length movie onto SD memory the other night, and it played in WMP *FLAWLESSLY*, no visible jerking or hanging. I would also like to note, that I have not had to perform a single reset on this device yet, soft or hard, and I use it daily. I keep very little on the ROM, but I just thought I'd mention that positive from my experience. Not bad for a handheld, as I've heard many stories about people having to reset their device every once in awhile.

So, in short, I still love this PDA, and fully recommend it!

Buy Duo Elite® Case & Cover for Asus Eee Pad Transformer TF101 10.1" in | Onyx Black | + FREE Stylus Pe Now

I bought this case for my ASUS tablet after reading review of other cases available for this tablet. The thing that sold me on it was that the frame the tablet fits in rotates. I don't have to take the tablet out of the frame. I can easily turn it from landscape to portrait plus I can unsnap the frame from the stand/cover with the tablet in it if I don't want to use the stand/cover. It's easy to get in and out of the frame just one velco fastener. The tablet controls are easily accessible and the holes for the cameras match up nicely. It does feel a bit too flexible at times, but if it was sturdier, weight would become an issue. It comes with a stylus which I'm still playing with. This is cover is well worth the price.

Case is exactly as described, however the leather material started to show slight bubbles after only a few weeks. They would smooth out if pressed but woud return again. All cutouts aligned perfectly. If you have the transformer keyboard you'll need to remove the pad from the inner case to be able to attach pad to the keyboard. Overall I am happy with this purchase but because of the bubbles I it gave only 4 stars.

Black Rubberized Snap on Hard Skin Faceplate Cover Case for Htc Nexus One Nexus 1

Black Rubberized Snap on Hard Skin Faceplate Cover Case for Htc Nexus One Nexus 1The cover broke in about a week. The upper left corner snapped off right along the edge where the clips secure the 2 pieces together. I had purchased this cover when the previous one broke in the same place but only after I had taken it off a few times to get to the inside. I figured it really wasn't designed to be taken off that often. Also the picture shows a solid back (which is what I wanted) but the unit delivered had the square hole for the belt clip. The price was right though $2.92. I've ordered another one. Lets see how this one holds up.

Bought this thinking it would make my phone last longer but the quality if cover itself is bad. It just about fits Nexus One and within 2 weeks the edges broke off making it completely useless. One is better off with screen protectors.

Melkco - HTC Flyer / P510e Ultra Slim Handmade Premium Genuine Cowhide Leather Case with double stan

Melkco - HTC Flyer / P510e Ultra Slim Handmade Premium Genuine Cowhide Leather Case with double stand and Pen Slot - Slimme Cover Type Black / Orange
  • Innovative design
  • Hand-made by Premium Cowhide Leather
  • Stylish stitch finishing,making this case look more beautiful
  • With double stand and pen slot
  • Search other cases by Melkco HTC Flyer Case

You really have to be tablet snob and a geek to appreciate this case IMHO. It feels and looks very expensive-definitely a designer appearance and plush,like brushed silk in your hands, but with just the right amount of velvet feeling to secure a strong grip. That's the best way I can describe how the leather feels. The case fits like a glove and allows access to everything. Can charge with it on, without having to leave the case open.The stand does work, but only on a flat service-just make sure to fold the cover into a tight triangle and place that at the base of the tablet in landscape made of course. But two of the great things I love about this case is how light it is while being great quality and the fact that the foldable cover feels like a real book would. If you don't mind spending close to $90, you can get an experience out of the flyer that I believe doubles the pleasure.

This is a great case for the Evo View 4G. The Evo fits in perfectly and the case looks beautiful. A few downsides are as you turn the folio cover to the back, it is sort of flimsy in the middle and the overlapping backs don't stay symmetric. Also I haven't quite figured out how to prop up the tablet on the origami style cover (maybe it is not intended for that purpose). The plus side is that the back of the case is hard shell yet slim and sturdy. It conforms to the case like a second skin. Overall this was almost half the price of the tablet, but it is worth it as it is very high in quality and construction, and simply looks amazing. I have gotten multiple compliments. It also works well to protect the sides of the tablet should it fall. It is easy to hold in you hand, and slides in and out of your coat pocket smoothly (advantage of a 7" over a 10").

Gps Receiver For Bluetooth Cell Phone, Pda And PC

Gps Receiver For Bluetooth Cell Phone, Pda And PCIt's hard to believe there is a viable Bluetooth GPS receiver in such a small package. I purchased a Freedom Mini as a replacement for the clunkier Bluetooth receiver I was using with the Tom Tom GPS software I have on my Palm TX. Setup was really quick: you use the Palm "Prefs" system app and run the Bluetooth "Setup Devices" .. "Trusted Devices" and when prompted enter 1234 as the passkey and that's it. Even inside my house, where my older receiver can find nothing, this little guy finds more than 6 satellites that the Tom Tom software can utilize. The device has a mini-USB connector which is used for charging, either through a car cigarette lighter (cable supplied) or via a powered USB port (cable supplied). That's the same charging tactic used with my old BT receiver, so I'm comfortable with it and haven't find it to be an issue. I did do a bit of homework before buying this device, and must admit I held my breath after setting it up because I figured that at its size it might need pretty ideal conditions to work well. Well, we're under heavy cloud cover and I'm sitting inside and it's still locked in on a bunch of satellites. 'Nuff said.

rooCASE Super Bubble Neoprene Sleeve Case for Acer AC700 Chromebook 11.6-Inch LaptopI thought this was a really nice, high-quality product -that is, until it took a fall. I dropped it from the about 4 feet up, and it not only broke the zipper, but also the casing of my Chromebook. Now I'm not only out a case due to the completely un-sealable zipper, but my laptop is broken to all h***. Way to go, Roocase. You really screwed me over on this one.

I use this for my new Acer Chromebook and it fits like a glove. I also have my headphones and kindle in the front pouch and it doesn't feel too full and isn't be stretched. Perfect case for the Acer Chromebook.

iGadgitz Black Genuine Leather Case Cover for Creative Ziio 7" 8GB Android Entertainment Tablet

iGadgitz Black Genuine Leather Case Cover for Creative Ziio 7' 8GB Android Entertainment Tablet
  • Hand stitched designer leather case with unique style
  • Customised design to fit the Creative Ziio tablet with cut-outs for all ports, camera and buttons
  • Inner Velcro strap to keep your tablet safe and in place
  • Integrated Viewing stand for hands free viewing
  • Magnetic cover closure for a more sleek slim line design

As my review title states, this is absolutely perfect for my Creative Ziio 7" tablet. The case is very well constructed. From the stitching to the beautiful quality leather, you couldn't ask for more. The price is perfect for this type of quality. It's a pretty refined & classy looking case. I feel "important" carrying it. ;o) And that wonderful smell of leather...I love it! What you see in the pics is exactly what you get!

The tablet fits flush inside the case and all ports & buttons are easily accessible. There's a wide flap that tucks under the tablet that securely attaches itself to a velcro strip to hold the tablet in place. You just slide it under the tablet and it pretty much attaches itself. This flap covers the micro sd slot, but I haven't had a problem with that. I actually like that it covers it...it should help with keeping dust out of the slot when I remove my card.

The entire inside of the case is made of a soft velour-type of material that will (should) help protect the screen & body from scratches. The cover lays flat with tiny magnetic closures on each end.

The stand works great. There's a slight lift (lip) in the stand slot & the weight of the tablet is just enough to hold it. There is no dedicated slot for the stylus, but the Ziio stylus has a pin clip on it, so I just attach it to the flap that holds in the tablet & I'm good to go.

If you have a Ziio tablet, then you probably know that the "official" case is a bit pricey IMHO. I have to say "thank you" to iGadgitz for offering this top-notch case at a fair price. I am more than happy with it.

UPDATE 1/3/12

If you're using this with a Creative Ziio tablet, remove the tablet from the case when charging. Ziio has built in battery protection and the tablet won't charge if it detects that the battery is too warm.

I selected the Igaditz cover after reading many reviews on the different tablet covers available for the Ziio. I was looking for something more economical then the Creative case but would still give great protection. While this cover had only one rating, it is all the first reviewer said that it was. Great fit, has access to all buttons, stays in place with the extra flap that holds it in place with Velcro. Tablet cannot slip out. It is very attractive and comfortable to read with. The built in holder works well for hands free horizontal viewing. The only thing that does not work are the magnets at the corners for holding the top flap in the closed position. This flap kind of curls away at the corners (must be cardboard inside) and the magnets are not strong. A small strip of self stick Velcro might keep the flap closed for sure. Overall, it is a very nice cover and fits the Ziio very well.

I purchased this rooCASE capacitive stylus for my new NOOKcolor as I felt it might facilitate faster web browsing. Although the stylus functions well, the touch screen interface inexplicably responds better (i.e. more accurately) to my finger tips than the smaller rubber tip of the stylus. I find typing on my NOOK to be slow as it is (perhaps because I have Swype on my smartphone?), so I'm not sure how much I will use this stylus.

Xtreme Cables 2-in-1 Camera Connection Kit for iPad, iPad 2 & New iPad

Xtreme Cables 2-in-1 Camera Connection Kit for iPad, iPad 2 & New iPadThis thing has a 30 pin Apple connector molded directly into the case in such a way that it cannot securely connect with any iPad other than the iPad 1. The cases on the iPad models 2 and 3 curve back and don't allow the connector to actually hook up. When I did manage to get it connected by using a Apple 30 pin extension cable (not included) the iPad 3 (running iOS6) I was working with put out a message saying "this device is not supported".

The vendor claims this is compatible with all iPads, but based on my experience I'm thinking that's a crock.

Basically, this thing is pretty much useless.

Just bought this camera connection kit and it works great on my new iPad. Not sure why others are unable to make it work. There is a switch on it to select either USB or SD card mode. From the pictures I've seen I don't think the old ones had that switch. Maybe that's the problem? I don't know but I'm happy.

Soladec Hybrid All-in-One Portable Solar Power Charger and External Battery Pack with Integrated Ult

Soladec Hybrid All-in-One Portable Solar Power Charger and External Battery Pack with Integrated Ultra High-Flux LED Light for iPod, iPhone, iPad and Other USB Devices
  • Latest generation ultra efficient monocrystalline solar cell module.
  • Charge most of USB-compatible portable gadgets
  • Built-in high-flux LED lamp for indoor/outdoor activities and SOS use.
  • Built-in rechargeable lithium battery will hold a charge for up to 2 years, making it suitable for emergency use
  • Can be charged from sunlight, USB port or a wall plug

The concept of this Soladec Hybrid All-in-One Portable Solar Power Charger (SD4000LP) is good. Essentially, it is a battery-powered USB charger sized like a typical 7-inch tablet. Its internal Lithium-ion rechargeable battery can be recharged either using the solar panel, or through external USB power port. Once charged, you can then use this unit as a portable charger for other USB-powered devices. The unit also features a powerful 6-LED flood light.

Since I'm an engineer, I just HAVE to open the case to see what's inside. I'm quite impressed by the high-quality components found (see the photo I uploaded to 'Customer Images' section):

The internal Lithium-ion rechargeable battery is rated 3.7V 4100mAh (the product description says '4000mAh')

The LEDs are mounted on an aluminum-backed PCB. This is great for thermal dissipation (but you don't see this very often due to high cost)

The battery charging/discharging operation is controlled by an 8-bit microprocessor (again, you don't see this often due to high cost). This is very important because, without the correct charging algorithm, a Li-ion battery can be easily damaged by over-charging.

I then tested the unit electrically, and found it to work more or less as expected:

When you recharge the internal battery through a computer USB port, the charging current is at 500mA. This is limited by the current capacity of a standard USB port. So the charge time is around 8-9 hours.

When charging through an external 5V 1A USB power adapter, the battery charging current increases to 0.69A. That means the charge time is reduced to around 6-7 hours.

When charging with the solar panel, the highest charging current I can get is ~350mA. This is under optimal test condition of bright summer sun at noon time, with the panel perpendicular to the sunbeam. In real life, it will take at least two full days of direct sunlight to recharge the internal battery. Also note that if you place the solar panel inside your car, the charging current is cut by half because the car window filters out most of the UV light.

Next, I tried to use this Soladec unit to recharge different types of USB-powered devices. The outcome varies according to the power requirement:

When charging a low-drain USB device (such as the Philips GoGear Aria MP3 Player), the USB device is powered up correctly, but the Soladec's LED indicator light does not cycle to show 'charging in progress'

When charging a medium-drain USB device (such as the Nintendo DSi XL), the device is powered up correctly, and the Soladec's LED indicator cycles to show charging in progress.

When powering a high-drain USB device (such as the VIZIO 8-Inch Tablet VTAB1008), the Soladec's LED indicator still cycles normally, but its output current fluctuates wildly because the maximum current limit is exceeded. This may cause the receiving device to get confused as it constantly enters and then exits charging mode. Actual maximum output current I measured is around 0.81A, even though the product manual says only 0.5A. So at least the product is performing better than specified.

When ON, the LED light draws 200mA from the battery. This means a runtime of 20 hours. However, I'm skeptical about the advertised light output of '170 lumen', as it requires an amazing efficacy of over 200 lumens per watt.

On the other hand, I have noticed some major design flaws with this Solardec charger:

1. There is no on/off switch. The push button switch beside the LED light does not turn off the whole system, only the light. The system is constantly drawing a 3mA standby current from internal battery. Simple calculation shows that this standby current will drain a 4100mAh battery in less than 2 months. So although the product description says the built-in battery will "hold a charge for up to 2 years", in real life you have to recharge it every single month, if you intend to use it in case of emergency.

2. The case is not weather-sealed in any way. In particular, there are no rubber caps for the two USB ports on top. So if it rains, water can easily get in through those openings. That makes it dangerous to leave this solar charger outdoor exposed to direct sunlight. The only safe way is to place it underneath your car's windshield. But doing so also cuts down the solar power by ~50%. So now it takes 4 days to fully recharge the internal battery by solar panel.

CONCLUSION:

The Soladec SD4000LP is a good attempt with quality components inside. But unfortunately, the two major design flaws mentioned above make it less useful either as an emergency power source or as an outdoor solar charger. It does work well as a LED work light, but that can hardly justify its high price tag. That's why I can only give it a 3-star neutral rating, meaning "It's Okay".

[Side note on capacity]

Is the capacity of internal battery (4100mAh) sufficient for you? That depends on the USB device you intend to recharge. For example, my POLAROID 7" INTERNET TABLET has an internal 3000mAh Li-ion battery. So on first glance, the SD4000LP contains more than enough energy to charge up my tablet from empty to 100%. However, the battery charging process has to go though two conversion steps. First, the 3.7V from internal battery is boosted to 5V at the USB port. Next, the 5V is stepped down to around 4V to recharge the tablet battery. Even if each conversion step is 85% efficient, you still lose 30% of energy in the process. That's why you always need 1/3 higher capacity than the device you want to recharge.

The biggest problem I found with solar chargers is they never get your phone past 50%, this is the only charger I have found that will take it to 100% in the same amount of time as a wall charger. The battery in the solar unit takes 7 hours to charge plugged in and 12 hours to charge using solar, and it never has any problems keeping up with any of my devises.

I'm a hiker and I'll use the GPS on my iPhone 4S to navigate through to wood in the Sierras, and for all of you iPhone 4S users out there you know how short the battery life can be, it actually drops off on average a percent a minute so I needed a heavy duty solar charger. Even with the high power consumption, as long as I stay plugged in my phone never drops below 100%, even at night when I'm using the GPS and the rediculiously bright light all nigh long. The light is also amazing, from a 12 hour charge it will run 18 hours and will stay bright the entire night. So to sum it all up, I actually couldn't pull more power than it could put out, it always felt like there was a wall outlet in my tent becouse no matter what I did I couldn't kill the thing! It was well worth every penny spent

This is an excellent product. The flashlight is super bright and lasts all night long (if you don't use all the battery for charging your devices). I live on an off-grid sustainable organic farm in Hawaii and I use this every night for reading. It's the first solar USB charger I've ever owned so I have none to compare it with but I am very satisfied and this little gadget meets my particular needs. Hope this is helpful. Oh, and I use it to charge my HTC Resound cell phone.

Update: It does require full sunlight for best results. And now that I'm in a new location that doesn't receive full sunlight it requires much longer to charge a device.

This is for all you iPhone 4S users out there...if you're like me, your phone keeps dying in the middle of the day or when your day isn't anywhere near over and it gets pretty frustrating pretty quick.

This my friends is the solution to all of our problems... be honest I wasn't expecting a whole lot from a solar powered backup battery charger for my iPhone 4S, but on a full charge this thing...it really does replace a wall socket.

I would highly recommend this backup battery for anyone who is tired of their iPhone battery dying on them.

But most importantly to me, this company showed excellent customer service, which is hard to find sometimes.

The kit is good for the price.

The case is perfect, my tablet looks very nice, all the buttons, ports, etc are well located. The material is also great, it doesn't look cheap at all. And it is very practical also.

Includes unnecessary items

-Sleeve: If you use the case the sleeve doesn't feet, so you don't need it, unless you use the sleeve instead of the case, but the case is so beatiful that why aren't you going to use it all the time? Still If you have other gadgets you can use the sleeve with them, for example a 10" laptop

-Cassete?

-Radio transmisor? I think these days this items are for museums :)

And The screen protector arrived folded so it is useless :( .

It sounds like a good deal, but when you actually receive the items they are very cheap quality. I tried to put the case on my tablet and it ripped and the sides bowed. The sleeve fit but the zipper broke when I closed it.

Some stuff I won't use, but everything is compatible with the Transformer series from ASUS. Some stuff just foam, but again, worth more than every penny.

It was ok,but some of that items were very cheap quality.the stylus was one of that worse of all of them,but overall it was a good purchase.

Melkco - Apple iPad 2 Genuine Premium Cowhide Leather Snap Cover dedicated to fit for Original Smart Cover Black
  • Hot selling product
  • Hand made of genuine premium cowhide leather
  • Protect the backside of iPad 2
  • Dedicated to fit for Original Smart Cover
  • Different colors are available - search by Melkco iPad case

Clicking this beautiful form-fitted case to my iPad2 left me with a smile and satisfaction. This is a pricey case and I have seen none that look better. I review now, less than one year after purchase having just thrown this piece in the trash. I take extremely good case of my iPad and by simple and careful handling over the past year, this case has frayed at the edges and fallen apart. I trimmed off one corner and it still held the iPad well and looked good. Another corner seemingly disintegrated and that was the end. A year later, I have just purchased an i-BLASON rubberized case that is slim-fit and superb. With shipping $25. Hey Melco, GET REAL!

Motorola Droid Razr Maxx Leather Case - Book Type (Black) - PDair

Motorola Droid Razr Maxx Leather Case - Book Type - PDairIt was what I ordered and was very good quality. However I found it to bulky to carry around in shorts during the summer time. Maybe a better fit for people in cooler climates that wear jackets or women with large purses.

I really love this case. I like the fact that you can fold the top cover back while using your phone. It really protects your phone when the case is closed, because my grandson put it to the test. Great investment.

I can see that there are 4 reviews on this site. All say something great about this case. Yes it is great quality... However the phone does not fit in this case. And the hole for the camera is not in the right place. I actually bought two of these cases. The boxes that the cases came in, clearly state that the case is for the Razr Maxx. The case DOES NOT FIT THE MOTOROLA RAZR MAXX.

This is an awesome case for my Droid Razr Maxx. It also has a couple of slots on the inside cover where I can put my drivers license & a credit card (if I want). The phone slides in from the top of the case & stays put until I remove it. I would definitely recommend to others. The only down side is I wish it was offered in other colors ... currently it's only available in black.

It goes in my purse and finds its way to the bottom but at least I know the screen is totally safe from the other objects in my purse! The only thing I dislike about it is that it partially covers the camera. It doesn't come out of the case easily and by the time you do get the phone out of the case, the kodak moment is gone. So, I don't use my camera.

  • Pack of 12 screen protectors and wet/dry wipes
  • Leather carrying case
  • Universal 4-in-1 stylus
