TrendyDigital WaterGuard Plus Waterproof Case for Apple iPad with Padding, Blue Border

TrendyDigital WaterGuard Plus Waterproof Case for Apple iPad with Padding, Blue Border
  • Improved version of our popular WaterGuard case for iPad.
  • A padding is included in the back of the case .
  • Designed specifically for Apple iPad tablet computer (Wifi / 3G Model 16GB, 32GB, 64GB)
  • You can operate the keyboard and navigation interface through the case with ease
  • Great companion when you use your Ipad at the beach, near the pool side, in the bathtub or at the kitchen table

I bought this to use my iPad in the bath. It works perfectly for this purpose. Obviously I have not completely submerged my device (not that daring) but had drops of water and splashes that wiped right off. There is a double ziplock and then folds down to have a snap cover. If I accidentally drop my iPad in water and retrieve it immediately, I think it will be safe. This was my main reason to purchase this vs the much more expensive marine model. I have not used it by the pool or beach because the glare of the iPad makes it not suitable for this purpose anyways.

I wanted to be able to use my iPad near water (e.g., the bath tub). This is avery simple plastic case that has a double seal, that you then fold over and snap for a third seal. It was easy to get the iPad in. It was also easy to see the iPad inside and to access the buttons. It does exactly what it claims, and seems very well put together.

I haven't tried taking it to the beach or a lake. My guess is that the iPad's screen will still be blown out by the brightness, but I haven't actually tested that.

Very nice case, easy to install and use.

It is really very water resistant, ideal for reading books or anything else on the bathtub, on the pool or beach.

I would give it 5 stars if it allowed my iPad 2 to film and take pictures. Both cameras are blocked by the bag opaque part. What a shame.

Seems split with in first week poorly made after two weeks its taped up.

I use dry bags all the time for kayaking and i live in Washington St, so its always wet.

This is the worst one i have ever purchased. Its only redeeming quality is the price

so you can afford to replace it until otter box has their product on the market.

OrientEX Portable Mini 2.4GHz Wireless Keyboard with Mouse Touchpad Laser Pointer & Backlit for PC T

OrientEX Portable Mini 2.4GHz Wireless Keyboard with Mouse Touchpad Laser Pointer & Backlit for PC TV PAD HTPC PS3 XBOX360- BlackThis product has been given to me as a review unit. It arrived about 3 days after it was sent from LaptopMate's warehouse. Took it out of the package, and I was presented with a nice looking green box, similar to Logitech's box design. The bottom of the box tells you about all the features of the keyboard. Upon opening the box, I was presented with the keyboard in its plastic bag, ready to be taken out and used. Under the pull-out tray, you get an instruction manual, and a mini USB cable for charging.

The manual is well-written in English, with minor mistakes that shouldn't confuse too many people. The manual tells you the safety information, instructions on how to use the keyboard, and a small list of troubleshooting instructions in the back.

The keyboard is well-built; the body is sturdy, and doesn't feel like it will fall apart easily. It is lightweight, and feels like only half the weight of a TV remote. On the sides, it has a mini USB port, the laser and its button, the on/off switch, and a slot where the wireless receiver is stored. To use any functions of the keyboard, you must turn it on. I was glad that the keyboard had a built-in rechargeable battery, I'm not a fan of buying a bunch of AAA batteries to operate my gadgets. The laser isn't the strongest, but it fares well for presentation from about 50 feet away. The keyboard also has a white backlight; not too bright, not too dark, perfect for operating your computer in the dark.

Now, onto the top of the keyboard where most things are found. The letters are printed clearly, and the keyboard overall has a good tactile feedback; also, the keys are made of rubber, so it makes typing pretty comfortable. It has 4 LED lights on the top left corner; the first one indicates transmission activity, the second one indicates the battery charging, the third one indicates battery capacity, and the last one indicates caps lock. The top row of the keyboard consists of the F1-F8 keys (the rest are under the Fn of numbers 1-4), and the Backspace key. The Escape key is directly below the LED indicator lights, and the main keyboard pretty much begins from there. This is probably due to sacrifice for compact design, but the bottom row of the alphabets is moved over to the left a little, so you'll have to get used to it to avoid making mistakes. There's an Fn key on the bottom left, it can be used to access additional functions on the keyboard, such as PrtSc, volume and media control, and Ctrl+Alt+Del. The right side of the keyboard is reserved for the touchpad, mouse buttons, and the arrow keys.

I plugged the USB receiver into my laptop (Windows 7 64-bit), and the drivers installed immediately without any actions required. Turned the keyboard on, saw the lights come on, and I was ready to operate. I was surprised at how I could actually hold it in my hands while typing with ease. The touchpad works great for me, and is sensitive just like my laptop. The arrow keypad is a little odd, but I'm sure if I used it more I can get used to it. Pressing the keys is easy, it doesn't require any strength. The keyboard also has an auto sleep feature, where if it is inactive for a long period of time, it will go to sleep, saving a bit of battery (although it is recommended to turn off the keyboard when not in use).

This keyboard is perfect for work and home. It has a range of around 5 meters (~15 feet), so it's good for plugging your computer up to a TV and controlling it from somewhere cozier than your chair. For $30, this is a pretty neat little device. Give it a try! If it breaks, not to worry, LaptopMate has an 18-months warranty, and a good return policy.

PS. This is perfect for controlling my laptop on the TV, in my bed at night! Endless midnight entertainment, here I come! :D

I purchased this to help navigate with my XBOX 360 which I use to access Amazon, Hulu, YouTube, etc.... It works perfectly and I love the light up keys. The remote feels like a quality piece of equipment. It is not cheaply built and makes typing in the search engine a breeze. I kick myself for not buying one earlier.

3Dconnexion 3DX-700034 SpaceNavigator for Notebooks 3D Mouse

3Dconnexion 3DX-700034 SpaceNavigator for Notebooks 3D Mouse
  • Designed to withstand travel wear and tear
  • Smaller footprint for use anywhere
  • Half the weight of SpaceNavigator
  • Cap designed for natural interaction
  • Compatible with Windows XP, Vista, and 7; Mac OS X 10.4.6 or greater; Linux Redhat Enterprise WS 4, SuSE Linux 9.3; Sun Solaris 8 (SPARC), Sun Solaris 10 (x64)

I just have to say I love this thing! It's very well made in every way but one though. the wire they chose to use for the USB cable is to stiff and long for a portable laptop device... should have been a mini USB port to give us options on what cord to use and how long. I feel like this it going to get damaged right at the base rather quickly... thats my only complaint! No wait, the case is not solid enough to truly protect it much either.

Buy 3Dconnexion 3DX-700034 SpaceNavigator for Notebooks 3D Mouse Now

The product works well. It is well built, and works well with Solidworks. Because this is lighter than the other models it can be accidentally moved if you push or pull to hard in any given direction. Most of this is completely acceptable as the bottom has a very nice rubber bottom that keeps it in its spot given that the rubber does not get dirty.

The reason for 3 stars This is a notebook accessory it is designed to be taken with you. That being said, the case they give you is made of a shedding fabric that gets the bottom rubber dirty. Obviously a major screwup on their part. The bottom can be cleaned with windex, but otherwise is rather difficult to clean if you don't have chemicals and a non shedding cloth available at your disposal. Forget about using the device with a dirty bottom do yourself a favor and ditch the case.

BoxWave Capacitive Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7.0 Stylus (Metallic Silver)

BoxWave Capacitive Amazon Kindle Fire HD 7.0 StylusThis case is very good overall. The one previous review indicated like there where huge problems with this case. It is not that bad. I bought it for a Motorola Q phone. The description indicates that the case is for a Motorola Q. The phone fits well into the case. The only drawback is how it hangs against the body. I prefer phones that are very close to the body. The design of the metal cases only allows a rear clip attachment that slides over a circle screwed into the case. This causes the phone to stick out about 1/2" away from the body. It is just a personal preference to have it closer to the body. If you don't mind this, the case is great. It opens easily, can be accessed easily, has a protective clear screen, and is obviously sturdy (being metal) to protect the phone very well.

The case is cool. The phone looks really nice with it. People have told me they like the case. The phone with the case on can still fit in your pocket. I'm not sure if it would really protect my phone in case it falls. I'm afraid when it hits the floor the case will open and the phone will come out flying. The latch to close the front of the case can easily open and if it falls it probably will. I haven't dropped it and I was going to drop it to the floor to make sure the case worked, but I couldn't make myself drop my Moto Q! What if it broke?! One of the things so you can put it on your belt was broken. I don't even know how to put it on. This weird looking star plastic thing came with it, I don't know if it's the screw or something. It didn't come with directions. Overall, it was an okay product. Oh yeah, I love the screen protecter it has. It's really strong, protects my screen. One of the hugest gripe I have is that on the top, on the right, to the side, it's where the two parts meet, the backside tends to go inside the top one, making it uneven and moving the case a few degrees. It's annoying, it gets stuck all the time. They should have made the backside like the ones on the bottom in the inside. The metal case is cool to the touch, when I take it out of my backpack and put it to my cheek it's so refreshing! (I live in Texas where it's always 100 degrees and the cool metal is so delicious!) If you're not always dropping your phone, the case is good for you.

Mini (Black) KP-810-10-BTT Wireless Bluetooth Handheld Keyboard and Multi-Touchpad w/ Laser Pointer

Mini KP-810-10-BTT Wireless Bluetooth Handheld Keyboard and Multi-Touchpad w/ Laser PointerExcellent product. Does everything and more for it's small size and price point. One thing overlooked in documentation: To pair with PC, you can choose not to provide a PIN, however, when connecting and pairing with Android HID Bluetooth, program requires a PIN. You can type ANY PIN you'd like (4 or more characters), select finish, THEN...IMMEDIATELY go to iPazzPort keyboard and type the same PIN number and press ENTER. Android should now recognize the keyboard and touch pad. (Tested on stock Droid Bionic 5.5.893)

Bought this for my Galaxy S3 so i can use it to type. I bought the HDMI adapter as well. I have my phone plugged into the TV and sit back on the couch and use the keyboard to type and move the cursor around. Works perfectly fine for me. Have yet to figure out how to get the laser pointer to work to screw with my dogs BUT other than that it has worked flawlessly. Also love that it comes with a usb bluetooth adapter if your computer doesnt have bluetooth built in. Distance is fine, walked to the other side of the house and was still working.

Let me start out by saying this device isn't for everyone. But if you're looking for a keyboard/mouse combo the size of a remote for presentations, a game system, or a tablet, it does the job and does it well. I wish the scrollbar was on the side instead of the bottom of the touchpad and that the page up/down buttons were on the top, but other than that, it's a steal for the price. Battery life is excellent, I've went at least a couple of days without charging.The backlighted keys are a nice touch, as is the ability to rotate the orientation of the touchpad.

(Note: This is also sold under the Rii brand, but Unisen is the actual manufacturer. This is the latest/best model as of 02/09/13)

I guess I got a dud. The blue light blinks like it's in pairing mode but it won't connect. I tried with two different computers and an android phone. I even tried with a different bluetooth adapter nub and nothing. I know bluetooth on the other devices is working, just not this. Bummer.

So I had looked at quite a few mini keyboard/trackpad combinations and I figured I would try this one out. Purchased it about 2 weeks ago, paired relatively easily with the included BT dongle on my HTPC running windows 7. I had to try a couple times to get it to pair before it timed out on me, but once that was done it hasn't lost a connection since. We use it daily, haven't had a single problem with it. Only had to charge it once 2 days after we got it. I'd have to say this was one awesome purchase.

Also our dogs/cats love the included laser pointer :D

Neck Genie Elite Neck Line Slimmer

Neck Genie Elite Neck Line Slimmer
  • The worlds first resistant toning system for your neckline!
  • New design breakthrough! Simply twist for your optimum resistance level. NO MORE COILS!

The science behind this product seemed to work for me. I'm a full figured gal, and it really shows on my face first when I fluctuate around the same 20 lbs. Using this product seemed to firm up my jawline and double-chin area so that it looks like I'm consistently in the lower end of my weight-fluctuation spectrum, maybe even a bit less.

However, I got this product AND the 3-spring "PY Neckline Slimmer" (also on Amazon) at the same time. I recommend the PY Neckline Slimmer more because the highest tension spring provides more resistance than the highest adjustable setting on the Genie Elite. After awhile, you spin and spin trying to adjust and it simply will not provide more resistance.

I have no complaint about the quality of the product. I am 78 years old and it was a little harder on my neck area than I wanted to use.

The pictured and described unit is what I ordered, but what I got was a unit that was a different color with interchangeable coils, the unit being difficult to take apart and put in the coils. I specifically ordered this paarticular neck and jaw toner so I didn't have to mess with changing the coils. A huge disappointment but too inconvenient to send back right now. This is the shipper's fault.

I'm forgetful so I havn't gotten into this too much yet but what I have tried it works correctly and you can definately feel it working haha.

Cordless Ring Scanner 9P

I love the freedom of having both hands free to handle books and Cds as I scan them. It's the ideal device for the serious amazon book seller. Big $$$ so not for the newbie. I use with my pda/cellphone and easily scan hundreds of books per hour. Well made but the on/off switch is a little tricky Had to push down and hold for two seconds to activate. Very low profile for stealthy scanning.

TESLA102 Samsung Galaxy S3 S III Screen Protector, "Flexa" 2-PK

TESLA102 Samsung Galaxy S3 S III Screen Protector, 'Flexa' 2-PK
  • Precise Fit on your Galaxy S 3/III LCD screen
  • Crystal Clear, Color Brilliant
  • Superior Scratch Protection
  • Bubble Free Easy Installation
  • Kit includes: Microfiber cloth, Squeegee, Solution Spray, Alcohol Pad and Installation Manual

After buying another screen protector (terrible cut outs) that didn't cover full screen, I am glad I could find this product from realook, as promised it delivers. Gave it four star only because when installing it has an almost imperceptible lighter tone about 1IN on the right side of the screen. Don't know if it is a defect or it could be that it needed a little more solution on that side. Little hard to install (take a little time to get all the bubbles out), but at least I got it right the first time. The bottom line is you get a screen protector that really covers the whole screen; you can't almost see that it is there. It is also great that it doesn't alter screen response or feel.

After a few days of use, I can feel a rubbery sensation that is not so pleasent, and it adds an unnatural plastic-shinny look to screen. Because of this, my rating has gone down to 3 stars.

Its an amazing cover, very classy, the cell fits perfectly and everyone compliments me every time. At the beginning the leather has a strong scent but it's because its a good grain of leather but I kept the case open for the first week while the cell charged overnight and the scent was gone shortly after that. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it.

Hammerhead Hard Shell Case for iPad 2 - Red

Hammerhead Hard Shell Case for iPad 2 - Red
  • Hammerhead iPad 2 Hard Shell Case
  • Durable hard shell shields front and back of your iPad 2 from scratches and impact
  • Ultra thin, lightweight polymer construction protects without bulk or weight
  • Automatically wakes & sleeps the iPad 2 display when opened and closed
  • Cutouts offer easy access to all ports, switches & camera

I really liked this case when I first saw it. Even recommended it to a friend. I liked the color I chose red, and the velvet like texture inside. I also felt it was safe to drop not a good idea in general. After about four months the latch just broke off. No warning! I glued it back on twice and awaiting another fail.

The latch serves two purpose, 1 to secure the case, loosely, and 2 to secure three angled positions. This is a manufacturer's defect and hope they would address such issue in the future. Unfortunately we must wait months before such defects to surface.

I am looking for another secure case now.

The product protects the iPad well but expect to buy 3 to 4 a year. Hey hammerhead, cut new molds, increase the size of the radius around the hinge to stress relieve and refund people who have the problem. I bet you already know what to do but don't want to spend the money. I don't want to spend more money either.

I orginally purchased this case for my iPad 2 from NY reseller Tekserve. At first look, I was impressed with total coverage provided to iPad, including the inside cover material which is soft to the touch. There are two caveats to this case; one being form, since it relies on having ipad sitting perfectly inside the mold, any jostle may unseat said ipad making this case impossible to close. The next being the pesky closing hinge, which has now broken twice, on two different cases, in the exact same spot and thus making the case useless. Hammerhead and Small Dog were kind enough to replace the case under warranty but since its an annoyance to have a case which is unusuable due to a manufacturing defect. I will move on to find the pefect case for iPad 2 even if I have to design it myself.

In the past year I have gone through two cases. When new I was quite pleased with the fit and function of the case. Unfortunately, the cases lasted about 6 months before the corners start breaking off. The latch broke off on 1 of the cases. This without either of the cases being dropped or otherwise abused. For a product designed to "protect" it unfortunately falls short. It is obvious why the manufacturer only gives you a 90 day warranty. Disappointing product.

Logitech Quickcam VC USB DV Camera ( 961111-0100 )

Logitech Quickcam VC USB DV Camera
  • Send photos, create movies, and video conference within minutes of setup
  • Make digital photos and movies
  • Easy USB connection
  • PC and Macintosh compatible
  • 1-year warranty

mac users, please don't bother. on the box it clearly states it's for any OS higher than 8.1, but apparently 9.0 is too much for it to handle. the software hasn't been updated since 1998, and on logitech's website the section for this particular camera is so old and neglected it's coated with dust. the FAQ for the pc version of this camera is ten miles long, but of course the mac FAQ is only two questions. but not like that's anything new for mac users. why is this webcam still being sold?

My dad got two of these so that I could video conference with my family from college. I was really excited, until I discovered that it was practically impossible to get a connection going. My dad works with computers for a living, and even he couldn't figure out how to make these things work. Before you buy one of these, make sure you have, like, the person who designed it on hand, or you'll never get it working :-)

I bought this camera because it was advertised to be Mac compatible. Unfortunately, it only works with Mac OS 9 and below, which haven't been produced since 2002 or so. Also, the design of the camera is such that you have to place it at eye level (it doesn't pivot up enough) and yet there's no way to attach it to a laptop. So you have to place it on top of a pile of books or something to have it angle correctly.

Too bad. I was hoping it would be an inexpensive camera to use in talking with my husband overseas.

Want Logitech Quickcam VC USB DV Camera ( 961111-0100 ) Discount?

For those simply looking for a low-end Webcam and not intending to do anything requiring serious quality, this is a good choice. The software is easy to install (on an iMac, which I use) and includes plenty of options... including the ability to use this device as a "security camera." The image quality is rather grainy, so diehard multimedia creators should definitely steer away from this item, but the average home user is likely to be quite satisfied with this small camera.

I use this connected to a seven-port hub, and the camera still works quite well despite having many other devices also attached to the hub. However, whenever I activate the software for the camera, the Zip drive and floopy drive both connected to the USB hub shut down. This may be a potential drawback, especially for those for whom directly-connecting the camera is not an option due to the need for other peripherals.

Interestingly, I also have MyVideo (USB video capture/outout device) connected to my iMac. Whenever I open the MyVideo software for video capturing, the image from the QuickCam VC shows up in the MyVideo window! This almost certainly means that both devices are using the same set of system calls or video drivers. Therefore, if using the QuickCam VC in conjunction with other video-related equipment on the same computer, a few "surprises" may appear. (In my case, this simply means switching the video source within the MyVideo program.)

This is a great little tool. The picture quality is good and USB makes it a breeze. I've had mine for over a year and had no problems with it. I highly recommend this product for someone who is looking for a reasonably priced quickcam product.

I have other products made by logitech, and I have to agree that the support isn't excellent. I've had to return a cordless wheel mouse two times, but I'm still happy with the product. Their support line should be toll-free.

Unisen KP-810-02T-B iPazzPort iTV Original Wireless USB Handheld PC Keyboard and Mousepad (White)

Unisen KP-810-02T-B iPazzPort iTV Original Wireless USB Handheld PC Keyboard and MousepadI am loving this thing. I looked at wireless keyboards, the lenovo thing, trackballs and air mice (mouses?) and they all seemed to have some problems, plus they were more than I was looking for. Essentially I just wanted some kind of handheld wireless mouse. If I needed to type anything occasionally (like a URL) I was just going to use the Windows onscreen keyboard. I pretty much only use netflix, dvd's, iTunes, and Pandora on the HTPC.

Well, this thing works, and it comes with a keyboard too. And a backlight (orange...blue would've been nice, but it works just as well). It's accurate, the wireless connection hasn't given any trouble yet, the battery has lasted over a week so far, and I don't have to deal with a large clunky keyboard. Once the device is charged, it works as soon as the transmitter is plugged in (no driver to install). No connection problems 20 ft from the transmitter. It charges via a mini usb connection, comes with a 3ft charging USB cable, and does work while charging if needed. It doesn't work if using only the USB cable (transmitter unplugged), but it's really meant to be a wireless device, so that's ok. Haven't noticed any interference with WiFi.

I'm really happy with it only because it's just what I needed, but it's not a perfect product. It's nice and thin, but that also means it's not as sturdy as a remote control. It looks like I could throw it around on the coffee table a bit, but I'm not sure it could handle a drop on a hard floor. It's not completely cheaply built, but not really the business presentation quality level it seems they were shooting for (from reading the manual). The keyboard feels cheap but the keys work crisply and it appears like it might even last a year, maybe two. The touchpad is just a slightly less accurate than a laptop touchpad, but there's no annoying delay like some wireless mice. There's no Alt key, which means Alt-tab to switch windows is not possible. That's a real bummer for me but maybe not for everyone. There are no function keys, which I don't miss.

I would've preferred if it used AAA batteries instead of the internal lithium battery because batteries do degrade. I opened up the case and the battery is soldered, so not easy to change even if I could find an exact replacement. Hopefully it lasts a couple of years.

Although it seems to me this should be a product category of its own with at least some competition, this thing is the only one I've found of its kind. It changed the way I use the HTPC. I can be having dinner, or reading a book, and thumbs down that Pandora song anytime, browse around netflix for a while, or just select a new CD in iTunes. A remote control really meant for a computer.

The iPazzport is a piece of junk; don't buy it. Its not ergonomic; my hands are extra large and I still found it completely ackward to handle and type with, plus having the mousepad at the top of the device makes no sense. Its difficult to use placed up there. The rechargable battery life is short. It lasted a computer session, but was rarely usable a second time without recharging. Absurdly, it can't be used while plugged into your computer while charging. The keyboard is generally ackward and lacking for various special keys. Finally, it has 5 lights at the top that tell you whether its ready for use, needs recharging, caps are on, etc. they make no sense. I never knew which was which. I bought a Lenovo micro keyboard, which is the same price and its a million times better; ergonomic, fast, functional. I'm using it right now.

I installed this unit quickly and easily, with no problems, on a Windows 7 Pro laptop. But when I tried to use it with my older laptop which runs Windows XP, it wouldn't work.

On my Windows 7 machine, it works poorly. There's no software provided for adjusting settings. Moving the cursor is laborious, since it only moves an inch or so with each full stroke of the pad. No way to adjust it no software provided with it.

I've ended up just junking it, it performs so poorly. A wsste of $38.

Samsung Galaxy NoteII 2 Leather Case - GT-N7100 - Flip Top Type - PDair (Black)

Samsung Galaxy NoteII 2 Leather Case - GT-N7100 - Flip Top Type - PDairA very nice case, but the same product by same manufacturer in the "ultra thin flip top" was my choice (see other review).

I returned this case.

The case is well made, and attractive. It also, more than doubles the thickness of the phone. One hand use with the Note 2 in this case, is pretty much impossible. Order took a long time to get here. Before it arrived I got an x line plastic case. I prefer the cheap case over this one. In my opinion, the phone looks better in the cheap case.

If you want something pretty, to go in your leather brief case, this may be perfect for you. It isn't for me.

Kensington 33192 70 Watt AC Power Adapter for Notebooks, Cell Phones, Portable DVDs, PDAs

Kensington 33192 70 Watt AC Power Adapter for Notebooks, Cell Phones, Portable DVDs, PDAs
  • Kensington Edge:Up to 40% smaller and lighter than other power chargers for easy portability to meet all your mobile AC power needs
  • Powers and charges virtually all notebook computers from any AC outlet
  • Provides the right power supply to upgrade or replace power for iPods, cell phones, DVD players, and PDAs
  • 70 watts--enough to power and charge nearly all standard-size notebooks
  • Includes multiple tips for use with major-brand notebooks

Works for my Averatec laptop great. It's a strange design with only about a 2 inch cord before the main body of the adapter but the rest of the cord is crazy long and it works fine for me. It also works on a random wireless speaker I lost a power supply for as well.

If you're looking for a small, thin and light power adapter and need 70 watts of power or less, then look no further. This adapter does the trick. Great to keep in your bag just in case a little juice is needed.

I received the product very quickly and it works very well. I found my original stylus in my computer bag, and decided to leave it there and continue using this stylus. I fits the Treo stylus slot good, it has a flexible pointer so it will not scrape the screen and the pen is easily accessed when needed. How do I refill it is my next check, but so far so good.
