Andteck Flip Leather Case for Zeepad 7.0 / MID A13 7" Tablet PC Protector, Stand (Brown)

Andteck Flip Leather Case for Zeepad 7.0 / MID A13 7' Tablet PC Protector, Stand
  • Designed for the Zeepad 7.0 and other MID A13 style tablets
  • Made of quality PU leather and soft suede interior material
  • Cutout access to all functions, cameras, buttons & speakers
  • Case flips and converts to a hands-free movie viewing stand
  • Andteck USA is the Only Authorized Seller of this product

I bought a Zeepad 7.0 (Android) for my kids (ages 3, 9, and 12), mainly because it was a relatively inexpensive way to get a tablet so they could play kids games and stop messing with my wife's iphone. They're generally well-behaved and don't break things or treat things rough, so I didn't need a super-tough rubber case, but just wanted a simple case to protect the tablet. The case is just fine. I like how it is custom-fit for the Zeepad (all the openings match up with the buttons properly), and it is just thick enough to be protective, without being cumbersome. It's nice how it folds up like a book, and then opens and the cover flips all the way back, out of the way, when using the tablet. We haven't had it long enough to comment on durability, but it seems perfect thus far for our needs. Simple and effective.

This case is at a great price range, it's sleek enough and looks good with black leather (which is good and tough as you would expect. It has a strap that will hold if onto a headrest of a car (which is amazing if you have little children that have to make frequent substantial commutes). ***Note: This tablet requires a wifi connection to access the internet, the car ride usage I mentioned was achieved by running a mobile wifi hot spot from my 3g iPhone 4 (my cellular data rates apply to this usage, be aware of your plan's monthly data quota to avoid extra charges on your bill). The second option... get the 32gig external memory card (you can store a good amount of video files locally if you don't have a mobile wifi hot spot to connect to).

Hi-Capacity AC-C14 Adapter for Compaq Armada, EVO, Presario & HP Pavilion ( HP Pavilion dv1000 d

Hi-Capacity AC-C14 Adapter for Compaq Armada, EVO, Presario & HP PavilionI ordered this "equivalent" adapter for my HP Pavilion DV6000. It is not equivalent. The power tip (part that is supposed to fit into the computer) is too long and doesn't stay connected. The charger brick itself becomes very hot to the touch much more so than the OEM HP charger does. Also, this charger is NOT labeled as UL or CSA listed. Buyer beware!

I know at least a small thing about rechargers and a lot about myself and my desires (not those kinds...weirdo). I have the original one that came with my laptop, but leave it at work where I use my laptop a lot (for work stuff) and didn't want to have to bring it back and forth a lot (in my car). So I bought another one on eBay (the web site)... At first, no problem, and then it simply starting not working well...the plug would not send power (to the laptop) often unless you contorted it at weird angles. However, this plug in price is right between the other two and just as good as the Compaq one. Highly recommended and very fast delivery.

Take care, hope you give this review a good rating.

I honestly cannot tell the difference between this adapter and the original that came with our computer. We had to buy a replacement when our puppy thought it would be nice to chew through the old one. In fact, this adapter might even be better, seeing as the pup hasn't even had a lick at this cord!!!

I'm assuming that other people have other laptops in the V2000 series. This product does NOT fit into my HP V2000 laptop. I'm off to the HP website to buy the real replacement part since I'll know it works.

eForCity Silicone Skin Case Compatible with Palm Pixi, Black

eForCity Silicone Skin Case Compatible with Palm Pixi, Black
  • Keep your cell phone safe and protected in style with this silicone skin case
  • Slip your cell phone in from the screen window to add a splash of color and deliver instant all around protection from scratches.
  • Constructed from smooth, treated silicone that resists dirt and stains.
  • Unique design allows easy access to all buttons, controls and ports without having to remove the skin.
  • Accessory ONLY. Phone not included.Compatible With Palm: Pixi CDMA / Eos CDMA / Pixi GSM / Castle / Eos GSM / Palm Pixi Plus.

I wanted an inexpensive case that I could easily slip on and off. I just bought an inexpensive Pixi+ along with the Palm charger, so I wanted to be able to take the case off easily for charging and not pay a lot when it's an older, cheaper phone. So far so good. However, it's possible that it might stretch and no longer fit the phone as well. Other than that, it seems to protect the phone okay as opposed to not having a case.

I bought this case for my Palm Pixi Plus (AT&T version). It fits well. No complain. It can't be looked as good as other "high-end" and expensive cases, but for the price, it's good. Recommend!

I bought this one after my other one pretty much broke. It wasn't as good as this one either. This fit the phone nicely, snug, and certainly provides very good protection for shock. Also works good as a non-slip case. Put in on the dash of the car and it won't slide around! Bottom line, I love it for the money. And it's easy to remove if you have to take the phone apart for any reason. You won't be dissapointed!

Nothing exciting to say, but I've had this on my phone for four months now, and no problems. Fits, performs as expected, feels nice.

This case is a great buy for a great price and when I got my pixi it was way too small so I got this case and it bulked it up fantastically also if you don't drop your phone from too high this will be more than enough for you.

Cocoon CPS300WH Mini Portfolio Case For Games and Digital Devices - White

Cocoon CPS300WH Mini Portfolio Case For Games and Digital Devices - White
  • Shock absorbent molded case perfect for Sony PSP/nintendo DS series
  • Proprietary GRID-IT organization system ? a rubberized woven elastic object retention system for gadget organization
  • Ideal for organizing iPod, iPhone, BlackBerry and other digital devices
  • Convenient pocket for additional storage
  • The ultimate gamers companion

I was looking for a gadget case and ultimately my decision came down to this case and the Amazon Basics Gadget Case. At the time of my purchase they were both similar in price. A combination of the Grid-It in this case and the "smell problem" that some have reported with the Amazon one lead me to purchase this case. I'm very glad I did. It is top quality and very sturdy. The zipper is heavy duty. It looks nice and holds what I want it to hold. The form factor is so-so, as I would have liked to purchase something more rectangular rather than square, but that's a minor gripe. Prospective buyers should know that there's not much room once you fill up the Grid-It. However, I was able to jam in two Kindle Fires (with low profile cases); a small point and shoot camera; an extra camera batter; a Kindle Fire charging cord; a retractable mini-usb cord; a retractable micro-usb cord, a thumb drive, ear buds and a couple of extra sd cards. It was a little difficult to get the zipper shut but I did fit it all in. Everything but the Kindle Fires, the KF charger and the sd cards were in the Grid-It.

Finally, I would keep an eye on the price of these. They seem to fluctuate wildly. I was able to get mine at about 30% off the list, and it actually went down further after that (only to go all the way back up again a few days later).

Oh, one more thing: the dimensions on Amazon were not accurate. On the product page it says 9.2 x 8 x 2 inches, which makes it sound a bit more rectangular. I don't recall exactly what the real dimensions are -something like 8.5" x 8.5" x 2" -but it is a perfect square. [Update: the dimensions have been corrected on Amazon]

Update: [3/5/11] Still love the case and the price actually dropped down below $10 for the white, gray and brown versions, so I picked up a gray one at this great price. Amazon should add more pictures. I don't think customers realize that there is a Grid-It inside the case.

This is a nice case for carrying cords, power supplies, etc. The webbing works well, and I really like that it has a fairly solid form. Everything stays in place, and the case goes in and out of my travel bag easily.

I bought this item not to hold games but to store stuff like my iPod and chargers that I have thrown in my glove compartment in my car. It looked more economical to buy this than just the Grid It and it worked out beautifully. The case is study and I feel quite happy that my stuff are protected and organized. It is so much easier to put my hands on things. Great buy.

Want Cocoon CPS300WH Mini Portfolio Case For Games and Digital Devices - White Discount?

I was looking for a a case to hold all my chargers and technological gizzmos in one place. Didn't even know that these existed but was happy to find them.

I like this case and the Grid-It is great. The dimensions given must be the outside dimensions because my label maker should fit in the case but I have to use a little force to it to zip.

Adesso NuScan1000U USB Hand Held Contact CCD Barcode Scanner

Adesso NuScan1000U USB Hand Held Contact CCD Barcode Scanner
  • Durable construction, manufactured from high quality ABS plastic ensures long service life
  • 2048 pixel CCD with a 3.15-Inch (width) & 0.78-Inch (depth) scan field for quick, accurate reads
  • Allows automatic recognition and decoding of the most popular barcodes
  • Ease of Use over pen Scanning
  • Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000 & Mac OS X

ASIN:B000GGTTC8, Adesso Contact CCD Barcode Scanner, Model NUSCAN 1000U. This is the USB model.

First, I should point out that this product is listed (on Amazon) as a CD-ROM but it is not a CD-ROM nor does it contain a CD-ROM.

The package comes with a scanner and a booklet. The scanner has a USB cable and no other cable options. The booklet contains some barcodes that let you adjust the scanner settings such as scan mode (trigger, auto, toggle) and audio feedback (tone, duration). The booklet is also available as PDF from the Adesso website. The booklet is not needed for normal operation.

Installation on WinXP involved plugging the scanner into the USB port, done. Once plugged in, it chimed the la cucaracha tune.

Usage was just as easy, point and shoot. The scanner button is rubbery yet has a nice click feel so it is very easy to use. The orientation (non-pistol style) was better than expected and is very easy to hold and scan items over and over. I was (wrongly) expecting to be able to hold the scanner inches away from the barcode but this type of scanner requires you to practically touch the product with the scanner for a successful scan. With a successful scan, the barcode numbers are entered into your computer just as-if you had typed them.

Buy Adesso NuScan1000U USB Hand Held Contact CCD Barcode Scanner Now

This scanner is very easy to install and operate it couldn't be any simpler, really. The scanner sends the data to your computer as though you'd typed the barcode in on the keyboard; thus it should work with any software that supports barcodes.

Configuring the unit for scanning modes and beeper volume/duration (it's a little LOUD out of the box) is just as simple. There are a few barcodes printed in the manual that you scan per your preferences.

To test it, just point your browser to http://www.upcdatabase.com/itemform.asp, rest the scanner on a UPC code, and click the trigger. Even if the product isn't in the database, you'll get confirmation of a good read just by looking at the number read out by the scanner. (If it's not in the database, do those good people at upcdatabase a favor and enter the product details). You could also use Amazon's search feature with the device, in the same fashion: scan the product's bar code rather than typing in its title.

I scanned in a dozen CDs sitting here at my desk about as quickly as a checkout clerk so I stuck a pencil behind my ear, snapped my chewing gum a few times, asked myself if I found everything I was looking for and hollered "WET CLEANUP ON AISLE THREE!"

I am very happy with my scanner...it scans anything! Including ISBN's which is helpful in my bookselling business and it also integrates with Booktrakker for data entry which prevents typos. I love it. Best thing I have ever bought for my business.

Want Adesso NuScan1000U USB Hand Held Contact CCD Barcode Scanner Discount?

I purchased two of these scanners for a small library project. Overall, I like the product, but refrain from giving it five stars, because, as others have said, the scanner must make flat contact with the surface on which the barcode is printed to effectively read the code. Also, I was happy that this scanner was truly "plug and play" on my Intel Macs, even without any software. Of course, Mac users are used to this for almost all peripherals, but the fact that this scanner simply did what it was supposed to without its own proprietary software really raised its profile in my eyes.

If you are looking for a good option to get the job done, this scanner is an excellent choice.

This scans a bunch of types of barcodes. I tested almost all of them out.

It will scan:

*EAN-13 (ISBNs)

*EAN-8

*GS1-128 (EAN-128)

*UPC-A (Regular UPC's)

*Code 128

*Code 39 (3 of 9)

*Interleaved 2 of 5

It will not scan:

*UPC-E (I think this is the tiny barcode on books that encodes only the price, not the ISBN)

*Codabar (used by libraries)

*POSTNET (the lines the post office stamps on the bottom of your mail)

*2-D barcodes

It's a contact scanner, which means that the scanner should be in contact with the barcode. But, it sometimes works up to an inch above a well-printed barcode. Also, it's a wired, USB scanner, which means you'll need to bring your laptop close to whatever it is you're scanning.

It automatically scans the text of the barcode plus an Enter character, but you can get rid of the enter character through the scanable options in the book.

Pros:

+I was able to plug mine in and start scanning without installing any software (I use a PC)

+It automatically scans many different types of barcodes, without you having to adjust anything

+Pretty long cord, about 4 feet

+Very easy to use

+Lightweight, yet steady

+Beeps satisfactorily after every successful scan, and doesn't beep when it doesn't scan

+Scanned even my bar codes I printed from my injet printer that got smeared

Cons:

-Very simple, the only options you can change is the length and the pitch of the beep (through codes in the book)

PDair Leather Case for Blackberry Torch 9800 - Flip Type (Red)

PDair Leather Case for Blackberry Torch 9800 - Flip TypeVery happy with the case itself, but I do not like the clip it came with. The clip does not open very far and it is very bulky. It took a long time to get because it came from China, but I still received it earlier than was expected and it works great with the Blackberry Torch. I would recommend this if you are not planning on using the clip.

I received alot of comments on this case. It hold the phone nicely and easy to carry with or without the clip.

Case is great quality, was delivered earlier than expected... But sadly I cannot put it to use as the placement of the magnets freezes up my blackberry torch.I tried removing the magnets in the back of the case and one in the front under the logo on the flap. Still no good. My phone works fine out of the case but as soon as I encase it the touch screen becomes frozen... I am sad as the case really is very nice, back to the drawing board $29 out of pocket, and still no protection for my phone.

After purchasing this product it took a long time to get to it destination. In addition, the case has a magnetic front that messes up the phone. At first I thought it was just phone and went to my carrier and couldn't figure it out what was wrong. So I decided to remove it from the case for a week. During that week, my phone did not act up at all. While in the carrier, the phone would freeze or turn off by it self but now it work just fine. Such a waste of $30 for this case to just sit there being useless. Unfortunately, this company is in Hong Kong and it would cost the same to return it. Live and learn. Be careful before buying this item....

The product does it job. It makes the bezel on your iphone shiny again, but the bezel does not come out reflective as it used to, when new. It is an improvement over a beat up used bezel.

Buy RadTech Bezel Blaster for Apple iPhone 2G,3G,3GS Now

A search for how to replace the bezel on my iphone led me dreading having to buy an expensive bezel and take apart nearly the whole device. One poster on a forum however recommended this product. I had dropped my phone on the street and my case leaves the bottom and top bezels unprotected. What was a "deep scratch" and something I thought would lead to a whole new bezel turn out to be a 5 min fix using the bezel blaster.

A quick wrap up of the device in masking tape over the plastic and glass, and a tiny bit of elbow grease, and the bezel looks good as new. Ended up shining the whole device, and then using it on my wife's as well.

Pro: Dead simple, great price.

Cons: None

Would highly recommend, especially for the price and quick delivery from Amazon.

Iogear GFR280 8 In 1 Memory Card Reader

Iogear GFR280 8 In 1 Memory Card Reader
  • Compact Flash Signal Voltage - N/A
  • Smart Media Support - Yes
  • Memory Stick Support - Yes

This device is horrible, you cannot gracefully eject a Microdrive under Mac OS X. All attempts to do so simply make the drive re-appear on your desktop. You are forced to pull the card out "hot," and while the product claims to be "hot swappable" it has resulted in data loss for me. On top of that, once you pull the card out, it won't accept another one until you reboot the system.

I've emailed support, filled out the form on their webpage, and called (only to be directed to contact support through email). No response.

I can understand that the device may not work well with Mac OS, but it should not claim to be compatible.

Lastly, this device does not support Microdrives larger than 1GB. With 2 and 4 gig cards being used more often now due to increase in camera resolution, this reader has a very limited lifespan.

I spend too much time making photographs (both casually and professionally) to risk losing data to this reader. Beware with this thing.

Buy Iogear GFR280 8 In 1 Memory Card Reader Now

I've used this device for about 3 years with Compact Flash devices up to 1GB, under both Windows and Linux, without any problems.

However, my wife just got a new camera and a 2GB SD card. This card won't work with this reader under either Windows or Linux; Windows just accesses the device for a long time and eventually doesn't see anything there. Linux won't mount the device due to a reported 1024 byte physical sector size which mismatches with the camera's 512 byte formatting.

The SD card works fine with the built-in SD slot on my Dell laptop, so I know the problem is with the IOGear reader, and not the SD card.

I haven't been able to get this device to work. I have only tried it on Vista computers and w/ one 256 MB CF card, so maybe it works in other situations.

The light on the device lights up orange, and I saw a flicker of green once, but my computers don't recognize the device or the CF card in it. My card works fine in my camera and w/ another reader. I'll try to return it, but probably can't b/c the sys. reqs. don't claim it works w/ Vista. I'll update this review if my attempts are fruitful, either for return or for getting it to read my card.

PDair V01 Black Leather Case for Samsung Galaxy Nexus GT-i9250

PDair V01 Black Leather Case for Samsung Galaxy Nexus GT-i9250Because the product is the best.

Everything I like. There's nothing I do not like the Pdair v01 Galaxy Nexus.

To all those who want a good Leather Case.

This is a well made case. It is constructed of very supple and well padded leather. The stiching is white and contrasts nicely against the black leather. The inside of the case appears to be made of leather as well. The sides are leather, stiched to black elastic material. There is a small, non-removable belt clip on the back of the case that is low profile and doesn't contribute significantly to the girth of the case. It would have been better if the clip was removable, in my view. I personally never use belt clips and find that the fixed variety just adds uneccessary width to a case and makes it more difficult to extract from a pocket.

The case fits my Verizon Galaxy Nexus (standard battery) very well and covers it completely, top to bottom. It is apparent that this case is custom made for the Nexus and is not a "one size fits all" design. The phone is very snug in the case and won't accidently fall out. I found it a bit slow to extract the phone but I expect that the leather will loosen up a bit after some use. Because of the design of the phone, while extracting it from the case, the index finger naturally lands on the on/off/wake up button on the right upper edge of the phone. This is a bit annoying but an inconvenience that I solved by simply inserting the phone top-end first into the case. This has the added benefit of making the phone far easier to extract since the top half of the Nexus is considerably slimmer than the bottom half.

The trouble I find is that the Nexus is a very slippery phone. I have large hands and still don't have confidence that the phone won't fall out of my hands when using it. What would be ideal is a leather case like this one that is also large enough to acomodate the Nexus in a silicone case like the Incipio NGP. Unfortuantely, the leather case is made to operate with a "naked" Nexus. I was able to insert the phone with the Incipio NGP case into this leather case, but it was so snug that insertion was extremely difficult and slow!

I can't say how a phone with the bigger battery would fare in this case. However, I would guess that the case would work OK since the sides are elastic and do give some, and the bigger battery only adds a very small bit to the phone's girth.

I was a little apprehensive about ordering a case from Hong Kong. My concerns were unfounded as it took only 9 days from placing the order to receipt. (I live on the eastern side of the USA.) I didn't expect to see the case until mid February. If you are contemplating the purchase of this case, don't let the seller's location dissuade you.

In all, a nice case that compliments the looks of the phone and provides excellent protection. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because of the non-removable belt clip and the issue with slow extraction due to the snug fit.
