PDair Black Crocodile B41 Leather Case for Nokia E72

Well, the crocodile leather is very nice and soft, but when you put in the mobile phone, the upper part of the holder is not fixed and it bristles up. Didn`t like the trasparent film predisposed to protect the screen, because it looks very cheap. So for the external part of the holder it`s nice, but the internal part is bad.

PDair Leather Case for LG Prada 3.0 P940 - Book Type (Petal Pink)

This case is higly reccommendable for the Prada phone.

We got one in a short period despite the fact that the supplier mentioned 21 days for delivery.

We reccommend this product as it fits the cel phone and helps protect it in a ladies purse.

Care should be taken as it may slide from the case is you pick it up in a hurry.

HP® iPAQ 211 Enterprise Handheld PDA, 624 MHz, 4 inch TFT, 128 MB SDRAM, Black

• Alarm(s) - Battery Charging, Battery Fully Charged, WLAN/Bluetooth Active
• Backlight - LED Backlight
• Battery Backup - Lithium-Ion 2200 mAH
• Catalog Publishing Type - PDAs-Standard
• Display - 4 inch TFT

My previous PDA was a 4 + year old Palm TX, so this review will largely focus on comparisons between that device and the HP 211.

General Observations:

A bit bigger and somewhat heavier than the Palm.

Seems well constructed and is nice-looking. I notice many reviewers rave about the screen, but to me it didn't seem noticeably better than the Palm. I didn't care for the case that came with it. The Palm had a cover over the screen that could easily be flipped open or shut and left me with something still slim enough to carry in a shirt pocket. The 211 came with a very close fitting case from which it cannot be easily extracted. It is nicer looking, but I lost the stylus the first day, due to the way you have to hold the PDA and pull on it to extract it. I have since replaced this with a Boxwave cover with magnetic clasp. But too bulky and heavy now to carry in my shirt.

Faults:

transition from portrait to landscape mode is slower than the Palm. You have to hold a button down for a few seconds, whereas the Palm only needed a single tap on an icon.

Documents are much slower to open or close than in the Palm. Also the Palm would remember my location when I closed a doc. The 211 always opens it at the beginning; so for long documents, it is a pain to find where you left off. Also in the palm, I could put book marks to easily find important sections in a long document; can't do that with the 211.

In the Solitaire game, which I play a lot, the cards seem a bit smaller and less distinct than on the Palm.

On the Palm, I could encrypt a single note; handy for storing credit card numbers and so on. Can't do that on the 211, although you can lock the entire device. This is a nuisance, so I had to figure out an alternative method of securing that type of information.

On the Palm, if I want to do a picture slide show, the orientation changed automatically as needed for each picture. The 211 doesn't do that, so if you start in landscape mode and come to a portrait-type picture, it will be displayed quite small. Also, the device doesn't seem to recognize that it's being used during a slide show, so it turns off after whatever time limit you have set for auto-off. Then you have to turn it back on, navigate back to the pics, find your spot again, etc.

Good Stuff:

Love the chime for calendar reminders. Pleasant sound and gradually gets louder. I use this now for my alarm clock, as it is not jarring to wake up to like a typical alarm clock.

Voice recorder. The Palm didn't have one. However, you have to hold the mike pretty close to your mouth if you want a decent recording. This wouldn't work out well if you wanted to record a meeting.

Game "Bubble Breaker." A screen full of different colored bubbles. Find 2 or more touching and double tap to remove them. The remaining bubbles above drop down. Get larger groups of same color bubbles together before removing and increase your score.

Removable battery. But the Palm battery (not removable) gave very good service the entire time I had it.

Voice recorder. I mention this twice because of a really nifty feature: you can append a voice recording to a note. This can be very useful, for example: I see a recipe I like but don't want to type the whole thing into my PDA. I can type a very short note, like "chicken pie" and then record the recipe as an attachment to that note. So later, I just look up "chicken pie" and then listen to the recipe.

I will not comment on features like the wireless, memory cards and so on, as others have done so more ably than I.

Handspring Visor Pro (Silver)

• Features 16 MB of memory and internal rechargeable battery
• Built-in address book, to-do list, memo pad, date book, advanced calculator, silent alarm, and world clock
• Use expansion slot to turn the Visor Pro into an MP3 player, modem, GPS receiver, and more with optional Springboard modules
• Runs Palm operating system works with thousands of Palm OS applications
• Visor Pro, USB HotSync cradle, 16 MB RAM, AC power adapter

They used to say in the Apple vs IBM wars, think about the software and then pick your computer. It's the same in Palm vs CE devices.

I'm a RN so I wanted at least a decent Rx database. Now that there is the Davis Drug Guide for the palm I couldn't resist. And there are loads of apps for the palm (check out palmgear.com). The palm has a big user base so most of the plentiful apps are either very cheap or free.

Palm devices are up against the wall though, since the standard 8MB is laughable for anyone wanting more than an address and date book. I like having all my personal info but the Handspring Pro comes with 16MB letting you get down to business, so to speak. I loaded it with lots of apps: Davis Rx, ePocarates Rx, and other medical stuff like ACLS, gtt calculators, lab values... and I even threw in Froggie in case I get some free time =)

I am at 13.5MB with all the medical apps, as well as, noah's dictionary and thesaurus, and hope that I will not exhaust the remaining limit.

Color would be nice! I would not get a color Palm device though. Especially since they don't have any with >8MB. If you are going all the way (with your money) and don't mind the size, a CE device may be ideal.

The Handspring Pro is great for carrying in the front pocket of your scrubs, with all the med information you could dream of moments away. It is easy to use. Long battery life. Seems durable. Hope this helps =)

I have been an avid iPaq user for about a year now. And while WIN CE can be a bit quirky at times, lets face it, iPaq's color screen and agility between applications makes up for Microsoft's shortcomings. However, about 3 months ago, I lost the "partnership" (the connection between the iPaq and the PC) and despite countless attempts to reconnect (by myself and a hired IT consultant), we never could reconnect. (Phone calls to CPQ and MSFT were fruitless.)

Because I really needed a device to handle PIM duties, I began reading the reviews (...) for Palm and Handspring. I had heard good things about the Visor products but had yet to experience them (long ago, I owned a Palm III...less than satisfied). After much trepidation, I took the leap on the Visor Pro. The final feature selling me on the Pro was the resident memory (16 MB) and the ability to extend through add-ons.

Since I've had the Pro, I must report, first and foremost (to me at least!), I've had ZERO connection issues. Synchronization has been flawless and beautiful. Beyond that, the Pro has all the necessary functions for the manager or executive on the go plus many, many more via download shareware. Additionally, perhipheral add-ons can turn your Pro into a phone, internet browser and Pocket PC without much sweat. The losses compared to the iPaq? I must be honest, all the touting of being able to create/manipulate Excel spreadsheets or Word documents (via the iPaq) is grossly overhyped. Yes, the availability is nice but who in their right mind is going to create any document/spreadsheet on a handheld-size screen? My only complaint is the screen. With a B&W screen, one can expect issues with light, hue, and contrast. However, after getting very comfortable with a color screen, moving back to B&W/monochrome is a tough move. I'll adapt, however, as Pro's other features make this a top-notch product.

For the money, Pro is my choice. I plan to purchase one for my partner and one for each of my mid-level managers (affordability is another incredibly nice feature of Pro). I'm actually thinking of getting a Pro for each of my teenagers. What a great device to get in control of the mundane as well as important aspects of your life.

As an avid Palm user, I got lucky to play with the Visor Pro a couple weeks back and have to say, if I were to purchase almost ANY PDA on the market today, this is the model I'd probably go with. When you consider price (and who doesn't?), expandability, accessories and a built-in memory of 16MB (SIXTEEN MEGABYTES???) there simply isn't a handheld product on the market today (that I am aware of) that can touch the Visor Pro.

I remember when my friend first purchased his original Palm about 4 years ago, and with 2MB I thought, there is NO WAY he'll ever have need for more room than that...little did I realize how useful these little guys can be. As far as organizing your life, a Palm device is almost invaluable -but they can be so much more. With a little patience, you can find free programs on the web to download that you just simply couldn't live without. Everything from maps to games...plus let's not forget the Springboard additions that truly make this PDA something special and a real honest-to-goodness cut above the rest. What really sets the Visor Pro apart from the vast (and growing) competition out there is it comes with 16MB of memory BUILT IN. No need to purchase more right off...this little guy has about TWICE what the *other* guys come with standard. Pretty impressive when you consider the price of this baby. Plus if you need more, the expansion abilities make this one of (if not THE most) versatile PDA's on the market today.

I am still sold on my little Palm M125, don't get me wrong, but for the price of just one single expansion card, I could buy the Visor Pro outright. Food for thought when you plan on making that jump to a handheld PDA that truly lives up to it's billing as an electronic device you simply cannot live without.

this is a great pda! so much memory to hold all the files and applications i downloaded from the net. the visor line and Palm OS devices have so many free/low cost software available on the internet. i was able to download approximately 30 different applications and photos on my pda and still have 10 MB room to spare. if you're looking for a pda. consider this one!!

i always wondered the usefulness of PDAs. now, i'm hooked. i use this to take notes during meetings and school work using the BugMe! program. Use Silverscreen to manage the content of the PDA. Downloaded a variety of games tetris, chess, zapit, space invaders (to name a few). manage my stocks. keep up to date with the news with AvantGo, maintain addresses of people i need to contact, calculator, scheduler for meetings, keep track of directions to whereever, expense logging, jot down ideas using IdeaPad, email, movie database, dictionary, and more!

i chose the visor pro because of its ability to use springboard modules and the large amount of memory. the large memory because i believe information is such an integral part of my day.

This unit is the best unit on the market for those who seek a B&W Palm device. The 16MB RAM coupled with the Springboard slot allows this unit to last for years to come. The Springboard has nearly a hundred modules available, where the others only have a handful. You don't have to pick and choose from your choice apps for only 8MB worth, you can keep them all on your device. Handspring continues to raise the bar for what a Palm device should be. Some people are concerned about the life of the Springboard, because Handspring's latest Treo does not have one plus the indicated that they would get out of the traditional PDA business (with includes the Visor brand). The fact remains as long as the Visor brands are out there, the developers will continue to make springboard add-ons. The developers make money off these add-ons, not Handspring.

Body Glove Snap-On Case for HTC Incredible in Retail Packaging

• Body Glove Snap-On Case (9140601) for HTC Incredible in Retail Packaging.
• Durable hard shell wrapped in a textured glove material. Ultimate custom fit for maximum protection.
• Removable knob for a low profile. Adjustable kickstand built into clip.
• Kickstand allows for multiple viewing angles.
• Includes a blue CCMaccessories Neck Strap / Lanyard.

I bought this case immediately after purchasing my incredible. Its a great price and looks good. I also love the grippiness of the case, but its still hard enough to protect from fall damage (caveat: see below).

The major flaw with the case is that the snap-on attachment is not that secure. I've dropped the phone a few times and once or twice the case has partially unattached. The phone hasn't been damaged from this but it has me worried enough that I'm buying a new case. I think this might be caused by my removing the case to clean off the phone sometimes (it seemed to get looser after I removed and attached it a few times) so if you plan to just install it and leave it, you might be okay.

Another flaw with the case is that the belt hook has the device facing outward. This isn't a big deal for me since I don't use the hook, but if you were planning on using it, I advise against this case.

i have had the body glove snap on cases on the last three phones i have had. i very much like the soft textured protection that this case offers, without quite the bulk of the otterbox (or the price tag). this case protected my phone through several substantial falls and being tossed around in a gym/baseball equipment bag. after one drop from about 5 feet onto a concrete floor one of the little tabs that snaps the case on broke, but my phone remained undamaged (which is kind of the point on a case). i replaced that case with another one of these cases.

the only complaint i have about this case is that the front half of this case has pretty thick sides and it prevents you from being able to reach the very edges of the screen (like to drag an app from one screen to the next) but this would be the case with most cases that offer this much protection as phones try to use as much of the front with the screen as possible.

This case worked great for me for a few months. But after a while the case would pop off when I dropped it. My brother bought the exact same case and it broke after 2 weeks. If you don't abuse your phone, this case will suite you just fine.

Want Body Glove Snap-On Case for HTC Incredible in Retail Packaging Discount?

I love this case, but can no longer recommend it.

The tabs on this case are ridiculously fragile. I've now been through 4 of these cases and cannot justify purchasing another...

All of the cases of failed in the same way. The tabs that hold the cases together eventually break either from falls or taking the case off and on to get to your phone (eg, replacing the battery, getting to the SD card, etc.)

When the case DOES work, it gives the phone a sturdier feel. Plus, the detachable clip doubles as a phone stand.

... but those two things don't mean a thing if the case itself keeps coming apart.

I have had this cover for a week. If your anything like me.. you drop your phone a lot..This cover snaps on tight and protects the phone from everything. I would recommend this to anyone that drops their phone.

Classic Straight USB Cable for the Sony Ericsson W300i with Power Hot Sync and Charge Capabilities -

The 4 MB chip was a good price.

The USB cord and CD rom set up disc is fine for connecting your Sony W300i cell to the computer. My only complaint is with Sony and the cell phone, the way you connect your USB cord end to your cell is not the best. it is not a very secrue, tight or firm fit/connection. (that goes the same with the headphone set that comes w/ the phone). But the USB cord and instruction disc is fine. The disc directs you to the Sony sight to direct you to your particular phone set up use for using the Sony program on your computer. Takes a little reading or searching, but fairly quick and easy set up. Overall a good deal and buy for the cord and memory disc for my Sony W300i. I just have a few small issues w/ my cell phone itself that sony could have done a bit better.

I also believe this USB cord and Memory chip works w/ other cell phones.

Tripp Lite BC350 350VA 180W UPS Desktop PC / MAC Battery Back Up Compact 120V, 6 Outlets

• 350VA/180W power capacity
• $100,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance; 3-year warranty
• 6 AC outlets (3 UPS/surge, 3 surge only); 6-ft cord with right-angle plug
• Compact desktop design
• Reliable battery backup and surge protection

Our company bought over 100+ of these to use as cheap stopgap protection for when we fail over to generator testing which lasts all of 3 to 4 seconds each month. So far over 50% of these have failed in less than eight months. The warranty requires you to pay to send it back to them to "determine" if it's their problem. Since the unit costs less than $50 it's not worth the effort.

I use this in my home network mainly for providing temporary power support to the modem and router during power shortage. Due to some special situations, although I've got this for only 2 months it already went through several challenges and so far it works fine. Saves me lots of time re-setting my modem & router which I had to do everytime after a power shortage before I got this UPS. I only wish they can increase the space between each plug becuase I can only fit 2 those "big-head" adapter plugs into it and the 3rd one was wasted.

It was the cheapest unit of this capacity that i was willing to try. (Student = budget is tight...) I bought it for my modem and router.

Seem to work fine when power drops, but don't know how long it will keep the loads going.

When i bought it, i neglected to note that it doesn't have a user-replaceable battery, or a computer data link. In this day and age, i just expected it to have both, as units $15 more expensive have... So, the battery setup is just environmentally irresponsible. And the lack of a data link means it's only good for short power outages, if used to power a computer. Otherwise, at this VA capacity, it will just allow the computer to crash 5-10 minutes later than without power backup...

SO, shame on me for buying this unit, and on Tripp-Lite for putting its fine name on it... I just didn't have any spare money for something better...

My original review was posted on 09/11/12 and needs to be corrected/retrackted. My poor opinion of this product was incorrect. True the battery life was horrible...but there was a reason. I am using this battery in my SkyCaddie SG5 and somehow the backlite feature was set on 100%. I discovered this because the unit kept getting quite warm during use. So, I turned off the backlight (it can be adjusted from 0 to 100%). Now the battery life is great, unit works great...at least 1-1/2 rounds per charge. In the interim I purchased a simliar battery direct from SkyCaddie thinking this would solve the problem...NOT. So, now I have 2 batteies. Not a bad thing.

Brother DS-600 DSMobile Scanner - Retail Packaging

• Ships in Certified Frustration-Free Packaging
• Small, compact design: Measuring 1.5" in height, 2.0" in depth, 11" in length weighing only 12.2oz.
• The DSmobile 600 provides the versatility to scan media from business card size to 8.5 x 14" paper size.
• The unique USB power/data interface draws power directly from the PC and comes with a detachable USB cable.
• The DSmobile 600 connects to a high-speed USB 2.0 interface yet only consumes only 0.2W of power when in standby mode

The DS-600 scanner is a super light-weight scanner that barely takes up any room on your desk. I admit that when I opened up the box and saw this scanner, I didn't expect it to work all that well it seemed too small and too light to do a good job. However I was pleasantly surprised.

Although it's tempting to connect everything at once, there is a warning that you must install the driver and scanner software before connecting everything. The CD-ROM offers the install in several languages and it is very easy (and quick) to install everything needed.

I scanned several documents of various sizes a one page black and white document in a very small font, a take-out menu, a business card, some pages in bright colors with lots of contrast, and several photos. All documents scanned perfectly the small fonts of one document were clear and scanned to match exactly the existing document. For the color documents the one document with bright colors and high contrast and the photo (with faded colors) were identical to the original documents. Note that you can't modify the documents (for example, some scanners provide options to tweak photos that's not available here.)

You can save documents in PDF, JPG and TIFF format. File names and locations are easy to change. You can save documents in these sizes: letter, legal, A4, B5, A5, A6 and Business Card. There are options and settings that you can customize, but you don't need to it works perfectly straight out of the box.

Documentation (besides the piece of paper that warns you to install the product before plugging in the scanner) consists of a ~50 page User Guide in PDF format that's on the CD-ROM. I'd say "User Guide" is a misnomer as while it does a good job describing how to install (for Windows and Mac systems) the scanner driver, Dsmobile scanner, and PageManager, it barely describes how to "use" the scanner (besides connecting it, calibrating, and clicking the desktop icon). The DSmobile scanner comes with two 4x6 sleeves which besides telling that you should clean them, are never described (I'm assuming you should use them to scan photos as that's how I used them). The scanner's options and ability to customize also aren't documented. Luckily the product is easy to use.

The CD-ROM also lets you install PageManager vsn 7.x which you can use to view, organize, edit, and send your digital files. I didn't play too much with PageManager, but it appears easy to use.

With a carrying case included, this is one scanner that you can easily take with you. If you want a scanner that doesn't take up a lot of room and does exactly what it should, check out the DS-600.

I have bought three of these for my business, to scan documents from the road and send them in to clients. I only use black and white at 300dpi, which creates a very small file but a very clear image for documents. This scanner does the job well, and none of my three scanners has broken down yet, after 6 months of light use. There are several drawbacks:

1) Almost every page gets scanned in a little crooked. I'm thinking that there is a knack to getting it to go through perfectly straight but I haven't figured it out yet, one of my employees does pretty well though. Anyway, it is good enough, but still annoying

2) The whole process is tedious with multiple pages, hand-feeding one at a time, going through the program to tell it to scan each page. I shouldn't complain because this is a portable scanner, but one day maybe someone can make a portable scanner that can handle multiple pages by itself.

3) Occasionally it has trouble identifying that a piece of paper has been put into the scanner. The easiest solution for me has been to unplug the USB connection, plug it in again and try again.

4) You can only scan individual sheets, you can't scan out of books, newspapers, etc., like the HP Capshare 920. (The Capshare is unique in that it was made in the 1990's and is still better than anything on the market today. Unfortunately they stopped making it, you have to find it on Ebay.)

Everything else is great, it gets its power from the USB connection and does its job.

Update 2/24/2011: It has now been a year, and all three scanners are still running strong, no problems. Problem #3 that I mentioned above has ceased to be a problem, I think I was somehow putting the paper in wrong. You have to slide the paper in far enough to trip a tiny switch, and then allow the scanner to automatically pull the paper in about an inch before you start the scan.

Even at 600 dpi the scans were unclear, with lost information. One drawing I scanned just looked like chicken scratch because the scanner couldn't read the finer lines. It also doesn't have anything to guide your document through the scanner. I would have been easy to include a small guide bar that swings out from the document feeder area. Without the guide it is difficult to feed documents through straight.

Another issue I had with it is that it doesn't know when it is not scanning something. For instance, if a document isn't far enough in to be caught by the feeder, the scanner will still scan even though there is nothing feeding through. If you are in a hurry, this is a huge waste of time.

Overall, I think this is an average mobile scanner. It is fine for documents, if you have nothing else available, but I wouldn't want to use it on a regular basis.

Brother's DSMobile Scanner produces great results as a scanner, to take on the go with your laptop. It doesnt plug in, but draws power from the laptop, like when you load up your MP3 player. It's small, about ten inches long, and 2-3inches wide, and comes with a leatherette drawstring carrying case, that also holds the USB/ scanner cord. Along with the scanner, cord and pouch, comes all the software you need, plus a bunch of more common software, which you MIGHT need, and not have. (for example, you can download a trial version of MICROSOFT WORD, and also a free copy of PFD document expansion software.) The whole Scanner kit can have you up and running, within minutes of pulling it out of the box for the first time. You just have to download the scanner software, before you scan your first document. The scans look beautiful. The only problem I had was the first scan i made of some medical document, because I fed the paper into the scanner a bit off sides, so the image came out slightly lopsided. Scans after that, which included color artwork, black and white drawings, and greyscale drawings, all came thru without a hitch.

There is a small downside, with this scanner, and no doubt it's obvious. With the large desktop scanners, if you want to scan something out of a book, a magazine, or artwork from a sketchbook, etc, you can lay it flat on your scanner, and it can scan the art or book pages without problem. The DSMobile Scanner however, can only scan SINGLE PIECES of paper. For most of the use a portable scanner like this might encounter, that wont be a problem. These portable scanners were made for scanning almost anything.....exam papers, medical or legal documents that may not leave an office, photos at a friends house who doesnt have digital technology, and pages at a reference library. For the same reason a laptop works well as the portable version of a desktop computer, this scanning stick works as a portible version of the large, heavy desktop printer scanners. The software for scanning was designed for ease of use, by anyone at all conversant with computers. Before you scan, the software asks you the size of the paper, if you want to scan in color, B&W, or greytones, and that's everything. The other software allows you to keep your documents organized, for example, medical documents in one folder, artwork in another folder, or your credit card bills in another folder. Overall, I find that it scans a little faster than my desktop printer/scanner. Almost anyone with a laptop, will get a lot of use out of this device.

The Brother Dsmobile 600 is an excellent, high quality product that has no negatives associated with it since I've been using it. Its benefits are numerous: very fast and easy to install, so light and compact that it fits conveniently in virtually any carrying case, is powered by a USB connection, easily creates PDF & JPEG files, provides an auto-start option as you feed multiple pages, comes with its own carrying case and a 6-ft cable, and, most importantly, provides very high quality color scanning of a variety of types of documents and photos up to 8 1/2" X 14". Very highly recommended.

PDair Leather Case for BlackBerry Bold 9700 - Horizontal Pouch Type (Black)

This is a quality case for the Blackberry Bold. My previous case was falling apart and I was seeking a replacement. I read the description and reviewed the pictures on this item and decided to buy. I would certainly recommend this product to other users as a very good purchase for a hip pouch for the Blackberry.

My only issue was the shipping. It took almost 4 weeks from the date of purchase for me to receive the item. The product was shipped from China by regular mail, hence the long delivery time. Otherwise, it was worth the wait. I am happy with this product.

Believe it or not the "usb sync and charge" cables will NOT charge your axim! I found this out the hard way, by buying a couple ("sync and charge") cables thinking that there must have been a problem with the one I bought. Later, I found out that the electrical current pull required to charge the axim exceeds the USB current rating available from a typical USB port... so you must have a plug-in charger.

I bought this product because the dell sync cradle was just too bulky to stash in my travel bag...(and the sync calbles did not charge)... but with this charger (plus the sync cable) its a compact package when travelling.

The charger is very small, well made, has a status indicator light, and the prongs fold back for storage. The thing is a little pricey (I paid $20) but its unlikely you will find anything better suited.
