Verizon Wireless Motorola W385 with 1.3 Megapixel Camera Bluetooth Capable

Verizon Wireless Motorola W385 with 1.3 Megapixel Camera Bluetooth Capable
  • Integrated VGA camera with 4x zoom and video recording capabilities
  • Bluetooth wireless technology for handsfree connectivity

Have only bought these NEW (not used or re-manufactured)but with very good results. Little harder to find recently but for

$50 or so to have bluetooth, camera, in a fairly rugged flip with good battery life isn't too bad. Don't expect to view pictures like you can on a big screen phone or textg like the slide out keyboard ones. Just a good solid phone.

I could not believe how quickly this arrived. Have not activated yet, got as a spare.Price too good to pass on.

This is the same model of the phone I own but it does not work like my previous W385. Texting involves more buttons and options than my old phone. It doesn't show who sent the text if you go to where they are stored in your inbox. It seems like all functions take longer. Not sure if this model is newer or older than the one I have. I used this phone for 3 days and went back to my cell phone carrier and had them reactivate my old W385. I have no issues with the seller -phone was new and delivery time was great. Looks like I will probably try and resell it. Just beware that even though things are the same model doesn't necessarily mean it will work the same. The model W385 that I had them reactivate is the BEST phone I have ever had.

This phone is a small brick. I have it since 2007 (5-and-a-half years). The black rubberized outside of it is now scratched and dull, and there is a small crack on its body. To say that it fell on concrete more than once would be an understatement. It also was in my pocket under rain, but the water damage indicator dot in the battery compartment is still white (no water damage). The voice is clear both ways. The default ring is loud. I had to change the battery once (BT51, 940mAh), it was just a few bucks on Amazon. It feels good in the pocket, does not drain the battery too much while on stand by.

Unfortunately, this is where its virtues end. Making phone calls is about the only thing that this phone does well (actually, I also use the alarm, it is convenient not to miss time to drop another quarter in the parking meter). You can receive text messages, but lack of a good keyboard makes it hard to write back more than one word. If you do not care about text (like me), or you are content to answer "NO" and "OK" for all your messages, you will not suffer. While this phone has a standard mini USB socket, it requires either a Motorola charger, or a special third party charger made to be compatible with Motorola. Many third party USB charges cannot charge this phone, the phone will display "unauthorized charger" message. This applies to both wall and car charges.

This phone has a camera, and over the years, I have accumulated several pictures. Eventually, I decided to transfer pictures from W385 phone to PC. At first, I naively thought that connecting this phone via USB cable to PC would allow me to transfer the pictures. No! I then found about a monstrous application from Motorola, "Motorola Mobile Phone Tools" (they actually sell this!). However, reading documentation revealed that W385 does not support file transfer via USB cable. So the "tools" can only sync contacts, useless to me. The phone can, however, transfer files via bluetooth to a compatible device. I then bought a bluetooth adapter, Motorola PC850 (under ten bucks), and downloaded drivers (but rather an entire application) for it. At first, I could not figure out how to pair the phone with PC, but then realized that after you install PC850 application (it will show up as blue bluetooth icon in system tray) you'd need:

1) Right click on that blue bluetooth icon and select "Add a Bluetooth Device"

2) Put your phone in "Discoverable" mode; that is, on your phone choose Menu -> Setting and Tools -> Bluetooth -> Settings -> Discovery Mode, change to "ON"

3) In the PC application, click next to find the phone; choose it, click next

3) Now to pair the phone, choose any four-digit number, enter it into "Bluetooth Security" field, click "Pair Now".

4) In your phone, a new field will pop-up, enter that same number, press OK

This did the trick and I was able to transfer the pictures. Unfortunately, date/time was lost, and I had to re-create them manually one-by-one. It seems that an easier way to transfer pictures is to attach them to a text message and send them to some other phone that supports file transfer to PC easily. I also found that the camera on W385 has soft focus. This was obvious when viewing pictures on a PC, but on the tiny phone screen, I could not tell.

While I will continue using this phone, I doubt I would recommend it at this day and age. Most people probably care more about being able to use generic USB charges, having better camera and easier file transfer. If, however, you want a simple phone that can take a lot of abuse, then yes, this is it.

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.

This sleeve has a very good fit for Lenovo X230 (without any large battery that sticks out). The sleeve is well made, and I feel it will keep the laptop safe. Smells a bit initially, but keep it out in the open for a few hours, and it should be fine.

Does smell of Neoprene but then again it is neoprene and new.

Tripp Lite TLP66RCG Eco Surge Protector Green w/ Remote Control 6 Outlet 6ft Cord

Tripp Lite TLP66RCG Eco Surge Protector Green w/ Remote Control 6 Outlet 6ft Cord
  • Remote Controlled 6 outlet ECO Home/Business Surge Suppressor
  • 4 "Remote/Power Save" GREEN outlets cut AC power to idle components when turned off via remote control
  • Two "Switched/Always-On" outlets provide continuous power for devices such as DVRs (TiVo), cable and satellite boxes, modems, and more
  • 2100 joules of AC surge suppression shields equipment from the strongest surges and line noise
  • Lifetime warranty with $100,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance (USA & Canada Only)

I bought this to power down the little power bricks on my electronics. There's too little space between the outlets to get multiple bricks plugged in next to each other.

Beyond that, the thing works as it is intended to work.

I also have a Belkin remote control power strip. The Belkin has much more space between the outlets, allowing more power bricks to be plugged in, and some next to each other. I also like the remote switch better on the Belkin, switch is styled more like a wall light switch. When I come home and turn it on, it's an easy, thoughtless push of the switch. W/the Tripp Lite, I have to pay little more attention to which button is on and which is off. OK, it's a minor issue, but I'm just mentioning it.

This works great to help me conserve energy and control my vampire chargers. I use this for my daily electronics usage. I have my phone/tablet chargers plugged into the outlets that are remote controlled and my laptop plugged into the always-on outlet. No more wasteful chargers pulling power when not needed... and no more having to deal with the strip. The little remote stays on my desk and a push of a button turns power on or off as needed. I wish there were more devices like this.

works great I push one button and all of my AV gear in the living room lights up amplifier/flat screen/blueray/cabinet cooling fans. I actually got a second one for my exercise room too. Before, with everything on stand-by, my AV enclosure was running at about 83 F. It also has some un-switched outlets for devices that you need on standby (cable box/modem/router).

OmniPen Pro

OmniPen Pro
  • Combines 4 functions into 1 sleek, matte-finished, executive pen design
  • Integrated black ballpoint pen, red laser pointer, LED reading light, and PDA stylus
  • Durable construction
  • Perfect for presentations
  • Provides you with additional conveniences that are essential for the real world

I just got mine yesterday. Feels very nice in the hand when writing and using it as a stylus. The stylus tip glides over my PDA screen very nicely. There seems to be some extra weight in the middle of the pen, changing the center of balance more towards the middle. The laser is bright in low light areas, and the flashlight will adequately light up about 2-5 yards.

My only complaints are that the buttons for using the laser pointer and LED flashlight rattle around a bit in the pen, and that there's no way to prevent the buttons from being pushed while the pen is riding around in my pocket.

Update:

I've had this pen for about a month, and the tip broke off. The glue holding the tip to the collar gave way, right in the middle of a meeting. I would revise this review to 2 stars, but I can't change the rating.

Buy OmniPen Pro Now

I ordered Boxwave's Ominpen pro because i needed a stylus for my G1. Even though the website listed it with other G1 accessories, It did not work with the G1. The G1, as well as the iPod touch, iPhone, and Blackberry Storm use capacitive touchscreens. Capacitive touchscreens register the electrons in your fingernails, which is why they dont work with styluses and other things besides your fingerpads. The Nintendo Ds series, LG Dare, Samsung Instinct, and HTC Touch Diamond use Resistive touchscreens. Resistive screens are comprised of several layers. The top layer, usually a clear polyester film, is flexible. When a finger presses down, the top layer comes in contact with a lower glass layer. The voltage is measured and the location of the press is computed. That is why stluses work with these types of phones.

If your buying the Omnipen pro, make sure you look up which type of touchscreen your device uses.

I rated this product three stars because although the stylus didn't work, it is still an excelent pen and the Flashlight and Lazerpointer are pretty cool. They're great for presentations!

I bought this pen from BoxWave, which they show as compatible with my table PC. As soon as I received the pen, I realized that not only was the pen NOT compatible with my laptop, it is also pretty poorly made.

Also, trying to get BoxWave to respond to any inquiries is near impossible...as they don't list a phone number. They only communicate by email.

The only reason I give it one star is because the laser light and pen light are nice and fun to use. The actual ink pen writes pretty nicely, as well.

Plus:

easy to slip in the iPad and holds the iPad quite tightly

the metal is really meant for rough-use (heavy duty)

Minus:

sharp edges when it folds half-way (risky for kids)

The minus outweighs the positives and hence the rating.

Tapwave T2907US Zodiac 2 Multimedia Handheld

Tapwave T2907US Zodiac 2 Multimedia Handheld
  • The Motorola i.MX1 ARM9 processor provides uncompromised performance in a very power-efficient design
  • Between these smart power-saving technologies and high-capacity batteries, you'll be able to go, do and play longer between charges
  • Basically, it's a game console that fits in your pocket
  • Yamaha audio component, stereo speakers, and earbud-style headphones produce rich sound
  • Premiere titles from the industry's leading publishers increase the fun

I'm a long time Palm (and Pocket PC) user and have never really been 100% happy with any device I've gotten. Some came close...my wonderful Sony Clie 710C was awesome in its day. I've enjoyed the Sony Clie line for its superb color screens and cutting-edge features. But they are expensive and more recently, seemed to be falling behind. I was darn tired of having to upgrade the RAM in order to have something useable so when I heard about the Tapwave Zodiac 2 which offered an unbelievable 128 Meg of RAM I was immediately interested. After checking the specs I determined to be one of the first to get one of these devices. Gaming is secondary to it being a good Palm device, but definitely a HUGE plus for me.

My first reaction when I got it was how awesome the screen was! It definitely rivaled any other Palm device out there, and people always comment on it when I show them. The huge amount of RAM is just a joy to have. You can even load MP3s on it, although certainly using a good size SD card works even better. Don't miss the double card slots! Another feature you won't find on any other Palm device.

Video playback is great using MMPlayer (ditch the crappy Kinoma it comes with) and MP3 music is quite excellent. Battery life is excellent compared to other Palm color devices, and landscape and portrait options make things like reading ebooks and viewing photos even better. Bluetooth works great, I have no trouble downloading email over my cellphone.

So, how is it as a gaming device? Compared to other Palm devices, this device blows them out of the water! The number of available games specifically for the Zodiac is still fairly small (although there are some excellent games out there now) but having access to the full library of Palm games means I have more games loaded on it then I ever will have time to play. The included game, Stunt Car Extreme, is excellent and shows great potential for this device.

Overall, as a gaming device alone, I probably would not recommend the Zodiac, simply because there are better, cheaper options out there. But if you need or want a PDA that does multimedia and gaming, you won't find a better choice, and at a very reasonable price.

February 2005 Followup Well, I've had this Zodiac for sometime now and it's still going strong. I've never had any analog button issues like some of the first models (like I have) commonly had, and with a screen protector, it still looks pretty good. I have the new WiFi card which makes it great for quick email checks and browsing the web. I do also use the bluetooth with my cell phone for email when Wifi is not available, so pretty much can do email anywhere. Still haven't managed to fill up the memory. I do sometimes have problems with it getting locked up and draining power, seems to be some issues with Preferences, and changing the auto-off will usually clear the issue for a time. Also the shoulder buttons are getting a bit loose. A bit of a design flaw, IMO, due to the flimsy plastic they are made with. Overall though, I still love my Zodiac and have kept it longer than most PDAs I've had.

Buy Tapwave T2907US Zodiac 2 Multimedia Handheld Now

It seems all the worth while PDA's are going for about $400 these days. So, I decided to check out the Zodiac 2 from Tapwave (that and I do have a bit of a gaming streak in me). I was worried that the Zodiac gaming aspect would overshadow the PDA functionality of the device. I was wrong. This has got to be the perfect PDA, and definately the best on the market right now. All palm applications I have from my Sony Clie' ownership have transfered over with out any difficulty (other than some OS5 limits, that would affect any OS5 based unit) And more stuff I'm finding on the Internet is installing and running with zero problems. It's just amazing to find a new platform with "out of the box" community support like the Zodiac.

The screen is georgous. The sound is top rate (though, get a better set of head phones that the included ones to get the real impact of the Yamaha sound chip.) And with 128 Meg memory (Z2 only), it's the best packed Palm platform currently available. Not to mention blue tooth and 2 memory card slots. The Tapwave folks didn't miss a thing with the Zodiac.

Some things I hope to see in the future are more support from software of the well weighted analog thumbstick, and more support of the high res screen. Some support is already out there with the Sony units being in the high res areana already, and Palm getting there. But, missing out on this full 480x360 resolution makes some older palm based tasks on the Zodiac really miss out.

Finally, if you worried about games, don't. This baby plays all the great Palm/Sony platform games already available. 1000's of them. While the Tapwave specific games really shine, they are not all that's available. This handheld has the most games available for it than any other currently on the market or in the future. Plus, you can get emulators to play older handheld games. Like the Firestorm emulator http://www.crimsonfire.com/firestorm/ that plays all GB and GB Color games, and soon GBA. That alone makes this the best handheld unit available. Sony's PSP won't ever do that. Though in it's defense, it will do some other things the Zodiac won't. (yep, looks like I'll have to get both :) ).

Bottom line. Need a PDA get a Zodiac.

The Zodiac is the solution for anyone who's sick carrying around both their PDA and gameboy at the same time. The Zodiac offers the best of both worlds, (much better than the gameboy actually) whether you what some real 3D gaming or, as Tapwave puts it, want to organize your life. Indeed both of those things will happen, the Zodiac is an uber cool device that works just as advertised, maybe even better.

I spent about 2 months doing research on PDA's trying to find one that would best suit my needs, at first I looked at the Zire 71 (before the 72 had come out), and it seemed pretty cool, so I then naturally decided to check out what Palm"s game selection was like knowing all too well that I'd be spending much of my time with games. After about 5 minutes I came to the conclusion that judging by the game selection (quality not quantity-wise mind you) that palm simply couldn't deliver what I yearned for in gaming.

Having remembered a small review of the zodiac (...for those of us too old for a gameboy...) I decided to check out what it really was like first hand. Shortly after my visit to Tapwave's snazzy site I realized that this was the PDA for me, it was a true miniture game console, somewhere around as good as the PS1(heck it's only about 100MHz shy of the PS2) but not quite as good as the N64 (though the graphics look sharper on a LCD than a TV).

Several weeks later, after I'd earned the money I recieved my zodiac 2 ($100 more for 4x the memory of the Zodiac 1, can't knock that) and almost started drooling over the gorgeous screen. This really is the PDA of choice for those who must have quality 3D gaming but can't wait for the PSP, want a fully functional PDA and concider gaming an added bonus, or just want to have the coolest gaget on the block, no matter what your reason you'll almost certainly love your zodiac.

Also note: Mac users, you have every right to the zodiac as someone running Windows, so it really does seem like an outrage that the zodiac is not directly Mac compatable, but don't fear any longer if you buy The Missing Sinc for Tapwave you can use your Zodiac just like you had a Windows machine for $40 (see MacCentral for a link).

I have owned 7 palm devices prior to purchasing this one. Palm V->Vx->m505->Kyocera 6035->Visor Prism->Visor Edge->Tungsten T. I have been in love with the Palm OS from day one. Also, before the release of the Vx, I have been on a quest for more memory, color screens, better screen resolution, bigger screens and yes, more memory.

First, I bought this for the 128 mb of memory. The Tungsten T5 has come out since with more memory and for the first time in the history of my palm use, I do not have palm envy. Second was the incredible screen. I wanted a Palm device on which I could display my digital photos. This gadget has become my photo wallet. In addition, I wanted more screen real estate for ebook reading. I have downloaded right around 100 books, 90% of them purchased. The trigger buttons on the top allow for more ergonomic reading in a great landscape mode. The background is clear and bright and the words very legible. My third reason for choosing this device was the battery life. I seriously considered a Tungsten 3. I already had the Palm Power to go which I had been using with my Tungsten T. Still the memory and the screen won out not to mention *2* sd card slots. I would never be at a loss for memory.

The mp3 player works very well, although I already owned an ipod. The only function that I have not used is the movie playing capability. Perhaps I will grow into that.

In the meantime, it is a singular device that I am extremely pleased with. I have installed all of the software that I currently want, plus my books, using just over half of the memory. There are idiosyncracies of the design that take some getting used too, e.g. using two buttons to display the 4 pim apps, or whatever you choose to put in their stead, and a funky launcher that I have come to enjoy. A car charger would be very nice.

Now that the Zodiac has wireless capability, it is ready for prime time. The bluetooth capability in the meantime has served well.

As I said in my Zodiac 2 review at Tapland, the Zodiac reminds me of a luxurie SUV that, when you look under the hood, also contains a powerful motor. "While being marketed as a hand-held game console that runs off of Palm OS 5.2, the Zodiac reminds me of the Dodge Durango some people like it for its smooth ride and body design but the guys are focused on one thing: the HEMI power under the hood. That is what attracted me to the Zodiac. Not the enhanced graphics and game controls as much as the awesome PDA "under the hood.""

All that being said, there is nothing like being able to whip out your PDA (I consider it a PDA more thatn a gaming console due to the way I use it) and play Doom II or race around the track in Stunt Car Extreme.

I have had my Z2 for about 4 months now and still consider it to be the best PDA on the market, bar none.

We have it plugged into a 32" Visio TV with HDMI cables. We are seeing amazing results with this combination. The only thing I have noticed that is annoying is when using the TV the mouse is lagged on screen. No matter what I do I can not get the mouse to not lag when using her TV.

VG Neoprene Laptop Sleeve for Lenovo IdeaPad Y Series 15.6 inch Laptop Models Y580 / Y570

Magenta Zebra Fur Covered Neoprene Laptop Sleeve for Lenovo IdeaPad Y Series 15.6 inch Laptop Models Y580 / Y570This case is not a good fit for the Y580. The laptop fits snugly side-to-side, but front-to-back there is over an inch of extra unused space in the case. A universal 15.6 inch case I purchased at a big box store fits much better.

Pretec 56k Compact Flash Modem for PDA/ Pocket PC & portable devices w/ CF slot

Pretec 56k Compact Flash Modem for PDA/ Pocket PC & portable devices w/ CF slot
  • Data Modem: TE speed: up to 115200; Fax Modem: Send and receive up to 14.4kbps
  • the world's first smallest 56Kbps modem card for Pocket PC
  • Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, PocketPC 2002, 2003
  • Software Platform: Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP, PocketPC 2002, 2003
  • Connect to a standard (analog) phone line and you're ready to go

When you're buying a modem for a pocket computer, you're probably not interested in bells and whistles; you want something that's as small and as reliable as possible, that will let you connect to the Internet and check your email or surf the Web.

The Pretec modem fits that need perfectly. There's no flashing LEDs, no driver discs; the box contains nothing but the tiny modem, a phone cord and a brief instruction manual. (There's not even an AOL disc. They must be slipping.)

I was able to get connected in less than ten minutes, without touching the instruction manual. Just slip the modem into the slot, plug in the phone cord, set up a few basic connection settings, and you're off and running. If your ISP supports WIndows dialup networking, it will very probably support this.

The manual is the weak spot; the installation settings it describes on page 7 and 8 may well not match up with those needed. Since the dialogs used to configure the Pocket PC are quite similar to the dialogs used to set up Windows dial-up networking, you'll want to have your ISP's setup instructions available.

In conclusion, this product is certainly more than worthwhile; it gives you full-featured dialup capabilities in only a few cubic inches of space.

One final caveat: This product is also known as the "Pocket PC Email Expansion Pack". If you've just purchased a Pocket PC, you may find that there's a special offer included for this expansion pack, and you'll want to check out that offer's pricing and terms before deciding where to buy.

Initially I had some problem setting up ISP configuration on my Casio E-115 with Pretec CompactModem. I called up Pretec, 510-440-0535 as listed in the "Company" on their Website, and asked for tech support. I found that there is actually a direct tech support line at 510-580-8339. The guy that helped me was pretty knowledgeable and walked me through the steps of setting up ISP for my email account. They put a little "ISP Configuration guide" on their Web, under "Tech support" and "CompactModem" area. It's pretty comprehensive. The modem card is working pretty well.

I have been waiting for Pocket PC for a loooooonnng time and it finally arrived. I got a Casio E-115 and it's beautiful. I sync up with Outlook on my Desktop on a daily basis to get an update of all my daily appointments, tasks, contact info. I bought a Pretec modem at a great price and it worked just fine on my Casio E-115. It took me about 15 min to get all my ISP settings done. The instruction is not bad and I set up my AT&T worldnet account just fine. Got my emails in the Inbox and I can browse around on the Internet. The letters are really tiny though. Wish there is a Zoom-in utility that I can magnify the screen display while browsing the net. I use the modem card to check emails mostly. Definitely will recommend to my friends.

I bought this modem about 3 weeks ago for my HP 548 Jornada Pocket PC and it works great...flawless. I know there are other reviews mentioning tricky connections and such; however, I have encountered absolutely zero problems. I would recommend this product to anyone, at least anyone with an HP 540 series (as that is what I have tested it on).

rooCASE Super Bubble Neoprene Sleeve Case for Samsung Series 3 NP305U1A 11.6-Inch Laptop (Black / Da

rooCASE Super Bubble Neoprene Sleeve Case for Samsung Series 3 NP305U1A 11.6-Inch Laptop
  • Non-OEM Case for Samsung Series 3 NP305U1A 11.6-Inch Laptop
  • Water Resistant Neoprene Sleeve Case. (Netbook NOT Included)
  • Super Bubble Protective Shock Absorbing Foam Interior.
  • Invisible Zipper Line for a Touch of Simple Elegance. Accessory Pocket for AC Adapter Charger, Mouse and e-Book.
  • Available in Dark Blue, Neon Green, Pink, Orange and Red. Search: rooCASE Bubble Sleeve Samsung Series 3 NP305U1A 11.6-Inch Laptop

99.9% pleased with this net-book sleeve! Fits my Samsung Series 3 net-book absolutely perfectly as stated in the product description. The bubble padded interior is fabric covered so no-worries about having any 'gooey' sticky plastic sticking to the outside of the computer shell. The construction looks strong, modern and ergonomic. It is also sturdy and well sewn. The color is a very handsome and stylish deep jet black with a rich royal blue trimming. In all the stores i searched and even on most of web, it was very difficult and practically impossible finding a net-book sleeve or case which fit my small, not so common 11.6' net-book perfectly. The only ones out-there where way to big and left way to much wiggle room. (Forget about getting it from Samsung. They don't make anything of the sort.) Thank heavens for Amazon! My only concern with this case is that it only has a single zipper to open/close it. I would much rather prefer a double zipper on it to prevent ware & tear but it doesn't really mater that much in this instant because the zipper construction looks nicely well built anyways so there should-not be a problem with it in the future. Over all i am extremely impressed with the rooCase product and will always continue to purchase this brand in the future as needed. I also ordered this product with express shipping and was delivered to my directly to my door in only 3 days as promised!

Also FYI: Extremely pleased with the PCMiroStore as well and their so far outstanding service.

Palm Hard Case for Tungsten E and Tungsten E2

Palm Hard Case for Tungsten E and Tungsten E2
  • Compatible with Palm Tungsten E and Palm Tungsten E2 handhelds
  • Durable plastic interior
  • Metal exterior
  • Secure attachment mechanism

From reading the other reviews on this product, it seems that some poeple were expecting one thing and recieved another. To that end I hope i can clarify a bit.

What it does:

*Protects your Palm Tungsten E

*Looks good. Sleek brushed aluminum with black plastic trim (not all plastic as has been mentioned)

*Holds 2 expansion cards

What it does not:

*Provide quick access to stylus, power button, expansion slot, or hotsync, power, headphone jacks

*Provide storage for anything other than Tungsten E or 2 expansion cards

This case is for PROTECTION of the Palm Tungsten E. It is a hard shell. Period. People argue about whether it is plastic or aluminum, it is aluminum outside with a plastic interior. With the case closed, there is no access to any part of the Tungsten.

If you are a person who like to flip out the Palm for a quick second and stow it away again, or needs a case to be able to carry things other than your Palm, or if size is an issue then this is not the case for you. You would be better served with one of the leather cases with minimal padding, but with holes to access things like stylus, expansion slots, or power button. Just realize that those cases are not as durable.

I use this case because i am very clumsy with small objects like PDAs and needed the extra protection to keep my shiny new Tungsten free from dents and scratches which the included flip cover could not provide. I accepted that it is significantly thicker (about a half inch thick instead of a quarter inch) and that access to certain items was not immediate.

I have never had a problem opening the case, but it is secure in that it won't open accidentily. It clicks open with a slight push on the arrow on the lower half of the shell. Some have said you can open with one hand... I tried, and while it is possible, I wouldn't recommend it unless you're trying to impress friends. I always use 2 hnads (one to hold, the other to open) and it never occured that it was an issue until reading some of the posts here.

I use one of those combo stylus/pens and so i never have to get the stylus out of the case. it also gives me a nicer writing instrument.

I do take it out of the case when charging and syncing. It seems to me that the weight of the Tungsten is propped on the jacks if you leave it in the case. Since the Tungsten is light, it is probably not an issue, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I usually take it out at night when i get home, and place it back again when i walk out the door in the morning. Once again, it didn't occur to me that this might be an issue until readin some of the posts here.

I also don't listen to MP3s using this so not being able to access the expansion port while the case is closed isn't an issue for me.

Long story short... if you want protection for your Tungsten, then this is for you, otherwise get a leather case that has more convenience features

Buy Palm Hard Case for Tungsten E and Tungsten E2 Now

I went over many of the reviews posted here before placing an order for a Tungsten E and its accompanying hard case. Admittedly, because of the many negative and mixed reviews, I had my doubts on the quality of the case, but since I didn't like any of the alternatives, I went ahead and purchased it.

I've been using my Palm on a daily base for a month now. During this period, I've dropped it around 5 times, once in a stream of water in a roadside. Not a scratch on the PDA, it looks exactly as it did on the day it arrived.

Despite my best efforts, I am careless and forgetful (hence the need for a PDA), thus I find this case to be perfect for my needs.

CLARIFICATION. Many of the mixed or negative reviews here are from people that haven't learned to use the case properly. As another reviewer pointed out, the hard case has a hinge that matches with a slot on the PDA, a perfect fit. The PDA doesn't flop or shake around at all. The cover is most definitely NOT made of plastic, but some type of aluminum. The inside is plastic, and has 2 slots for memory cards.

Opening the case is extremely simple and takes 2 to 3 seconds: you hold the case in your palm, top cover facing outward, press the bottom lid in (there's a small triangle that indicates exactly where) with your thumb, the case then clicks open, you then use your free hand to open the lid (which rotates 360°), swing the PDA and pull the stylus out and voilà ... brand new Tungsten E. I hardly ever use the power button to the unit on since I have 4 alternate power keys on the front.

By the way, you do NOT need to pull the PDA out to charge or hot-sync it, I do it daily and haven't had to do this once. On the other hand, as one reviewer pointed out, you won't be able to listen to mp3s while the case is closed. Is this important? There are excellent mp3 players out there, with up to 30 GB storage, so I find buying expensive memory to play mp3s on your PDA ridiculous.

For it's elegant appearance, slim fit, unequaled protection, and relatively cheap price (on Amazon) this case deserves 5 stars.

Read Best Reviews of Palm Hard Case for Tungsten E and Tungsten E2 Here

I read some of the reviews here, but went ahead and purchased the hard case. I was pleasantly surprised how nice it was given the very negative reviews here.

First, the case exterior is most definitely aluminum, not plastic as one reviewer mentioned. Only the interior is plastic. As for the difficulty some folks mentioned on opening the case, all I can say is they are opening it wrong. Although this is a clam-shell type design, the latch mechanism works by sliding the lower half of the case toward the hinge. I have no difficulty opening the case with one hand, using my thumb to slide the lower half. If you try to open the case like a book, you won't be able to open it. I believe that's why folks are complaining about "how difficult" it is to open. It's not so don't believe it.

Lastly, regarding the issues of not being to access the power switch or stylus, that's kind of a nonsense issue. The design of the lower half of the case surrounds the Tungsten E. To access the power switch or stylus, just swing the unit out slightly to gain access. The unit is attached to the case via a hinged rail that your Tungsten E slides onto.

Again, all I can say is I'm rather pleased with the hard case. It's stylish and protects the Tungsten E like an armored car, which is what I was looking for. If you want a quick access case, you're probably either better off with the Palm zip-case or one of the generic flip or holster type cases

Want Palm Hard Case for Tungsten E and Tungsten E2 Discount?

I agree with some of the gripes other reviewers have about this case but I've dropeed my Palm three times so far (yes, careless me)twice on a tile floor and once out in the parking lot and the case did a good job of protecting my Palm.

I bought this case because I take my Palm with me everywhere and I thought the hard case would keep it safe. Unfortunately the hard case CAUSED my screen to crack!

Here is why: On the inside, opposite the screen, are brackets for keeping extra memory cards. They stick out higher than the rest, so if you push on the case from the outside, they go right into the screen and crack it! It doesn't take much presure either.

Palm does not consider this to be a design defect and won't pay to fix the damaged screen. If you buy this case, be very carefull not to let anything ever push against it. Actually, you may want to consider a protective case for the protective case!

[White Bunny] Embroidered Applique Fabric Art Wallet Purse / Card Holder
  • The Wallet Purse features a fully embroidered and hand-appliqued design with lovely patterns.
  • Compact, stylish wallet offers several card / ID slots, currency compartments and velcro closure.
  • Carry all your money, receipts, notes or anything in style with a handmade felt fabric art wallet.
  • Made of 100% quality crushed, wrinkled look cotton fabrics. Soft and comfortable to carry in hands.
  • Measures 4.7 inches wide x 3.7 inches high. Machine washable and easy to clean.

I was in the market for a new wallet and didn't want to spend a lot on one (some of these wallets online are more than a purse!). I was looking for something that I felt was also going to last, so I figured what better than a cloth wallet. Arrived as pictured and very cute. I had to get used to the flexibility present with the wallet, but I didn't experience any issues with cards falling out like I was afraid would occur (and mind you I don't have many cards). I can see this wallet holding up for a number of years. I'm an adult so you don't have to be a kid to order something so cute!
