Fellowes WriteRight Universal Screen Protectors - 5 Pack

Fellowes WriteRight Universal Screen Protectors - 5 PackThese things are great. I keep them in a desk drawer with an old credit card, glass cleaning cloth, can of dry air and an Xacto razor.

The little graph reference makes cutting something to size a cinch. If you get a bubble while applying you can back up and they're pretty forgiving. I've had one on my Sansa mp3 player than I run with for several weeks now and it keeps on sticking even after all that sweat.

If they do get a little scratched they're cheap to replace and easy to work with so not much lost there.

I've gone a little crazy and screen protected everything I touch from camera LCD panels to cell phones to a DS Lite (they work on the touch screen just fine).

This created many bubbles and made more scratches in my iPhone screen. I followed all the instructions, but was still very disappointed. I would definitely not recommend this to anyone.

These are a little tricky to apply. I can never get it on completely bubble free. The bubble looks bad when the screen is dark, but a small one is hardly noticeable when the screen is lit. The best part: when it comes time to change protectors. I pull the old, crudy one off and my ipod screen is in perfect shape. Looks like it's band new. I will always keep one of these on my ipod.

I was really hoping that this product would have been easier to install. Yes the instructions are simple but the squeegee tool (cardboard) can actually scratch the protective screen as you try to get all the bubbles out and smooth it down.

Anyway, the price is good and you get 5 screen protectors, but you do get what you pay for.

I upgraded my cell phone in 2010 to one that has a large touch-screen menu. My son recommended I use a screen protector to prevent scratches, and he suggested I use WriteRight Universal Screen Protectors. There are 5 pieces of film (4.25" x 3.25") in the package I purchased. According to the cover, the protectors are "Easy to customize, leave no residue, and reduce screen glare." Generally speaking, they are right. The instructions are clear and concise and the picture instructions are very helpful.

What they don't tell you is the protection film scratches very easily. But the most significant omission is just how difficult the film is to apply bubble and dust-free. The sticky side of the film attracts dust and particles like a magnet. They provide a small piece of cardboard to squeeze the bubbles out, but what a frustrating process! In addition, if particles do attached to the sticky side, you will have a fun time trying to remove the bubbles they create and may scratch the phone screen in the process. Moving the piece of cardboard across the film will also scratch the film, even if moistened. This is the first time I've applied film, so a friend suggested wetting the edge of the cardboard before trying to remove bubbles. That did work a little better, but there still was scratching and I doubt getting water on the phone is a good idea.

As you can see, my experience with the WriteRight Universal Screen Protectors was definitely a mixed bag. I'm sure I will become a more proficient protector applier after a few tries. A package of 5 protectors retailed in 2010 for $8 and change (I see the price has come down to $6 and change). For best results, the instructions recommend removing the protector after just a month and applying a new one. Not at that price and process!

OrientEX Mini Wireless Air Fly Mouse Keyboard with IR Remote - Black

OrientEX Mini Wireless Air Fly Mouse Keyboard with IR Remote - BlackIt is very good remote if you know what you want it for. It has a learning curve, but once you get hold on to it, it works like a champ, it took me several weeks to get a really good hold on it.

While this device may be able to learn IR signals, it is NOT an IR keyboard, it is a 2.4GHz radio-frequency (RF) keyboard. I need something that operates via RF so I can aim it at my universal learning remote to learn the various keyboard keys so I can operate MythTv software on my HTPC.

So, I thought about trying to use this to replace my universal remote but it looks like it only supports TWO devices! Sigh. This is useless for me.

While this might be a good product for its target use-case, I really just wanted a IR Keyboard, which this isn't.

rooCASE Super Bubble Neoprene Sleeve Case for Acer Aspire S3 13.3-Inch Ultrabook (Pink / Black)

rooCASE Super Bubble Neoprene Sleeve Case for Acer Aspire S3 13.3-Inch Ultrabook
  • Non-OEM Case for Acer Aspire S3 13.3-Inch Ultrabook
  • Water Resistant Neoprene Sleeve Case. (Laptop 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.
  • A MUST Have for Laptop Owners!! Available in Black, Dark Blue, Green Neon, Orange, Pink and Red. Search: Super Bubble Sleeve Acer Aspire S3 13.3-Inch Ultrabook

I purchased this to go with a new Acer 13.3" ultrabook. I have used rooCases before and they are always great. I went with this one because the bubbles seemed like they would provide extra cushioning.

Pros: Large front zipper pocket for holding charger or Kindle, etc. The bubbles do give extra protection in a school bag with books while also being bounced around while walking. The pink trim and color are also nice.

Cons: It is about 1" too wide and 1/2" too long for my ultrabook. My previous rooCase fit my 10" notebook perfectly. I would give this item 5 stars if the fit were as perfect as my previous rooCase.

Wilson Electronics Sleek Booster Single

Wilson Electronics Sleek Booster SingleI received the Wilson Sleek in good order and faster then I usually receive items. I looked over the Wilson Sleek and realized the antenna connector on the Wilson Sleek and the connector on the Wilson 800/1900mhz antenna were the same.

I called Wilson Electronics and spoke with technical support and explained to him that all 4 of my Wilson antenna's had the same connectors (one for each vehicle and my big rig). He said he would send me the adapter immediately and at no charge!

I received the adapter in just a few days and it fit all my antenna's to the sleek. I mounted the 800/900mhz antenna and the Wilson Sleek to my car and plugged it in. Placed my phone (Commando)in the cradle with the supplied phone holders.

I live in SW Wyoming where it is difficult to get cell service (no bars). Just putting the phone in the cradle I had 2 bars and when I made a call to California the phone jumped to 4 bars.

I was skeptical at first but now I am completely thrilled with the Wilson Sleek. Next pay day I will be buying another one to keep in my big rig!

Thanx Wilson Electronics, Amazon and Quantum-Wireless, you will be hearing from me again soon!

I get 4 BARS with this thing where I usually get no bars. This is a trip and I have 3 of them. Their for people like me who can't afford the expensive ones. OH AND, get the longer antenna. Cheap price too.

Major issue is the return policy. I didn't even get to try the product since I would have had to order another $20 worth of stuff or so to make it work at home which is why I ordered it in the first place, thus I returned it. I was only given about $54 on the $78 product. Also it cost me about $8 to return it. Total amount lost was about $35. If I had known that it was to be used in a car, and that I needed additional parts to use it at home, and that I would be out the $35, I would at least have ordered the additional parts to try it at home. So it goes. I'm not a happy camper on this one. Makes me want to keep purchasing from local stores that have a respectable return policy.

Amazon is shipping the wrong antenna with this Booster. Wilson Electronics has told them many times that the antenna they are shipping with this Booster will not work. Hence the whole package is worthless. This is the first time Amazon has not done the right thing and I am a very big customer of Amazon.

January 2013 Amazon made it right by refunding my money. They need to change the way the product is described. Otherwise they will continue to ship the wrong antenna.

Want Wilson Electronics Sleek Booster Single Discount?

Love the product but really pissed with the company, I have a fleet of trucks and am putting these in my trucks one /two at a time. My last order the units came without the small 5" antenna's they came with none. When I am making a purchase why confuse us or make it difficult just ship everything I need, not just half.

So now what do I do?

Thanks

Work pretty good against my violent autistic brother. The only thing im consernded about is that there is so much padding in the front and not to much in the back. There should be an equal amount because its not just for protecting the screen but also the device its self.

PDair Leather Case for Motorola RAZR XT910/Droid RAZR XT912 - Book Type (White)

PDair Leather Case for Motorola RAZR XT910/Droid RAZR XT912 - Book TypeWhat I really want to protect my phone is a case like I have for my kindle -thin and light and protects the screen. This is similar, but bulky and heavy. I'm not convinced the construction will last, as it seems the tabs holding the phone in are poorly secured. The case STINKS with some chemical manufacturing smell that hasn't gone away in the week+ I've owned it, and it took a month to get here from Hong Kong. On the other hand, it's the only case out there that covers the screen but isn't black.

RAM Mounting Systems RAM-B-166-AP8LU RAM Mount Twist Lock Universal Suction Cup Mount for the Apple

RAM Mounting Systems RAM-B-166-AP8LU RAM Mount Twist Lock Universal Suction Cup Mount for the Apple iPad
  • Patented universal rubber ball and socket system allows you to mount virtually anything anywhere.
  • Made of high strength composite
  • Superior shock and vibration isolation for electronics
  • Unique design provides easy installation, mobility, strength, adjustability and versatility
  • Construction provides a light weight and corrosion resistant product

I purchased this ipad mount to secure my ipad in a small retail business enviornment. I didn't want anyone to steal the ipad and wanted to secure it to a table. This item regularly sells for $60+ elsewhere so pricewise it's definitely a 5 star item. I did have to change out the suction base for a flat surface mount (RAM-B-202U) in order to secure it properly. However I did test out the suction mount and it safely secures an iPad on a smooth surface or window.

My only issue is that the lever to remove the ipad from the mount could have been designed better. When pressing the lever on the top (where it's intended to be pressed), it is difficult to unlock the mount to remove the ipad. I have to press the unlock lever at the base for it to unlock smoothly.

Overall, I'd highly recommend this product due to the price range and it works for my intended purpose.

Optoma PK201, VGA, 20 LED Lumens, Pico Pocket Projector

Optoma PK201, VGA, 20 LED Lumens, Pico Pocket Projector
  • MicroSD card slot allows for memory expansion up to 16 GB
  • Project large widescreen images of up to 66 inches diagonal
  • LED light source lasts over 20,000 hours while producing excellent color
  • Full assortment of I/O ports, including USB, VGA, HDMI and video, allow for easy connection to most analog or digital devices
  • Female USB adapter - project images and videos from USB flash drives, Component video for higher quality video and gaming

I'm in the tech field and I've been waiting for the pico projectors to come down in price. I just never expected one of this quality and feature set to sell for under $300.00. I've looked at the 3M ones and some of the others but none come close to this 20 lumens switch blade of a Pico projector. I got mine about 3 weeks ago and I've been using it constantly. Everyone who see's it is like "I'm so getting one of these". I like the fact that it came bundled with the cables required to connect your laptop. With other units this was extra as well as a case. I purchased the IPOD connector kit so I could hook up my Iphone. It looks awesome with video coming from my Iphone. Please note that the extra battery in the Ipod/Iphone connector kit is for the PK101/102 projectors and will not fit in the PK201. So bascially I'll ebay that battery. The Arcsoft media software I'm not so happy about. I tried converting a video to the PK201 profile settings in Arcsoft only to have it not work on the unit. If I convert the same file utilizing Arcsoft's PK101 profile (lower video bit rate) then the file will play on the PK201. I have a support case open with them about but its really an Arcsoft issue. I've worked around that anyway by utilzing other software to do the job. Long story short is that I've done a lot of research regarding the Pico Projectors, this is by far the best due to its brightness, input capabilities, resolution, and ability to play content on its own (built in media player). Those are some of the most important things to me when I was looking for a Pico Projector. Did I also mention it utilizes Micro SD so I you can have up to 16gb of storage. It's great just taking this unit out without having to hookup any wires and play a movie or project a powerpoint. I've never written a review before and I hope this helps you in selecting a Pico Proejctor.

Cheers

This little projector is a joy in the dark.

The ability to throw in a SD card and let it play is genius. It will even pick a piece of music off the card to play with your picture slide show.

Unfortunately, it is not bright enough to use in any but the darkest rooms. If you intend to use this on the road where you might not get a completely dark room, or you need to use it along with written materials, then this projector is not for you.

Read Best Reviews of Optoma PK201, VGA, 20 LED Lumens, Pico Pocket Projector Here

Had the PK201 for about 3 weeks now. 4 1/2 stars. The brightness has much improved. I love that I can now connect just about anything to the PK201. Hopefully the rest of the cables/adapter will be available soon. Battery life is poor, at about an hour. But I mostly keep this plugged in all the time. I wish the screen was just a little bit bigger. 70" easy with good clarity. The focus wheel is much better, not loose like previous models. Great for travel and hotel rooms. Even with some light ambient lighting you can see the picture fine. Best with complete darkness.

**** Update **** After a lot of use I've noticed a few things when compared to other PK models. First the projection screen on the 201 has a smaller footprint on the wall. I'm unable to get the entire screen to focus. Areas remain blurry no matter what. 101 had better focus. Get the PK301, really impressed with that model. Bought one myself.

Want Optoma PK201, VGA, 20 LED Lumens, Pico Pocket Projector Discount?

1. VGA output from connection to portable laptop: Adequate due to focusing problems, i.e. unfocused image across the breadth of the projection which comes from a distance of approximately 12' in this case. Furthermore, focusing the image adequately with the focusing wheel is somewhat difficult. However, if the operator fiddles long enough with the focus, one can generally see a clear image over MOST of the projection if the projection is nearly perpendicular to the wall with minimal skew. Although 12' is outside the range suggested by the manufacturer, the Optoma PK201 has focusing problems even at shorter distances, e.g. 9'. The HDMI capability begs a user to connect the PK201 to a computer and project the desktop onto a wall as a replacement for a large screen TV. Currently, the latter process doesn't work well because not all quadrants of the projected image are in focus at the same time. Personally, I'd love to use this capability with my speech recognition system while browsing the InterNet, but a projected desktop consisting of text is very difficult to read. In order to read the fuzzier text, heavy use of the web browser's zoom capability is required which causes other problems. Optoma, you blew it here and I fully expect your next generation of micro projectors to precisely focus all quadrants of the projected image simultaneously. I won't be as forgiving if this problem reoccurs in succeeding generations. No excuses.

2. Thermal: A purchaser wouldn't want a micro projector producing greater heat. Personally, excessive heat might be playing a role in the focusing problems. With the current design, 20 lumens is about maximum for micro projectors using LED DLP (currently) and passive cooling. Employing laser diodes instead of LEDs is an option for micro projectors, but I'm unsure which option has the greatest luminosity per unit of thermal output.

3. Luminosity: The projector is barely acceptable at 20 lumens. Unless one restricts the usage of their micro projector to nighttime hours, don't buy a micro projector with a rated output less than 20 lumens. The projection from the PK201 can be seen in a room with some INDIRECT exterior light so the brightness is acceptable.

4. Battery life: Marginal at best. Buy another battery as a spare. You'll need it.

5. The power switch is too small.

6. One can replace the included conversion software with Handbrake if the user is willing to fiddle with the settings. Personally, I use AVIDemux 2 to convert video for the PK201, but Handbrake will work as well. Thanks to legondaree on the Handbrake forums for these selections for use with Handbrake:

a. Select the "iPhone & iPod Touch" preset.

b. Set output format to "MP4 file"

c. Set Video\Video codec to "H.264(x264)"

d. Set Video\Quality to "Average bitrate(kbps): 1500"

e. Set Advanced\B-Frames to "0"

f. Disable Advanced\CABAC Entropy Coding

g. Set Advanced\Motion Estimation Method to "Uneven Multi_Hexagon"

h. In "Picture Settings", select a maximum width of 720 and height of 480 and set Anamorphic to "None"

Although, I initially thought about returning the PK201 due to the difficulty in focusing and the minimal life of the battery, I've decided to keep it as one can get a readable image across MOST of the screen if the aforementioned precautions are followed and one can always purchase an additional battery. The PK201 is a good micro projector and worth $300, but the difficulty in focusing and the minimal life of the battery detract from its usefulness. Remember, technology will continually advance these micro projectors so one has to weigh various factors before deciding to purchase. Personally, I don't think either the PK201 or PK301 are mature enough yet although they are close. The next generation of these micro projectors will probably see much wider adoption of these devices. I suspect 30+ tested lumens will probably be the minimum output and at least 90 minutes of battery life before these devices see wide acceptance.

In conclusion, the PK201 will work nicely for displaying pictures and video as a slightly out of focus condition won't generally be noticeable in parts of the image. Furthermore, if the PK201 is used primarily in a room with INDIRECT light, e.g. ALL shades pulled during daylight hours, or at night, the brightness of the projected image is adequate. The PK201 can also be used to display text, but slightly out of focus text can be maddening after awhile. Personally, I'm able to use the PK201 to project my desktop while browsing the InterNet with my speech recognition system IF I heavily zoom my web browser to enlarge the text and precisely fiddle with the focus wheel. The latter can be done with some difficulty and the text is largely readable so all isn't lost. I've decided to bump my overall rating from 3 to 4. The PK201 is so close to meeting the requirements for many applications and it's a very good buy if the intended use is primarily for viewing pictures or watching video.

I was so excited when finally my PK201 arrived. I read the manuals before actually used it, charged it, connected to my laptop and watched one 20-min tv series. At the end of the series, I realized that white spots started to appear at the bottom of my screen.

Now these white spots have multiplied and black spots are also appearing and multiplying themselves. All in a span of 1 hour since my first usage!!!

I wouldve loved this projector because it's what I thought it would be, it was bright enough for my room. But a huge turnoff on the white spots. :(

If anyone knows how to remove these, please let me know. I am from Singapore and would be a big hassle to return it and ask for replacement.

Portable Emergency AA Battery Charger Extender for the Coby Kyros MID7127 - with Gomadic Brand TipEx

Portable Emergency AA Battery Charger Extender for the Coby Kyros MID7127 - with Gomadic Brand TipExchange TechnologyVery user friendly. Small but powerful . . . very good battery life. Device meets my current needs and is very reasonably priced.

This is the best product I have purchased for my Coby Kyros tablet. I don't do long-distance driving or flights so I have never used this battery pack long enough to know how long it lasts with the four AA cells. But I have extras and they are available everywhere. I'm often in a place that I can't plug in a charger so I just plug in the battery pack -I've used it many times with the same batteries.

When using the Coby tablet the green indicator shows how much battery power is left. When it gets near the bottom it turns red and gives a message to plug in the charger. When it's on the charger, the indicator is in motion to indicate that it is charging and how much is charged.

This battery unit doesn't work that way. It is so easy to use. I just inserted the four AA cells and then plugged it into the charger socket. It doesn't charge the internal batter but simply switches to the external one and shows full power. I still have to charge the internal battery with the charger but that can be done later. Great unit, just love it

  • Battery optimized for lowest power and highest performance
  • Powerful and easy to use security feature makes WEP encryption easy

  • Single slot solution -- can be used as memory card or

This card installed without any problems on a PocketPC 2002 from the DOWNLOADED drivers from SanDisk website as many people recommended without even trying the supplied drivers. The memory part works fine and the wireless setup is easy and straight forward even for any begginer but BEWARE of power comsumption !!!... it eats batteries that used to last many hours and now I only have roughly 20 minutes of continuos use with the card installed. So you may have to use a spare battery, carry a charger or if on the road with your PDA and NOT using the wireless card, take it away or your batteries will die fast. But besides this power matter, my card gets the job done easily and connects without any problems to many different Access points and wireless configurations or "profiles".

I've had this card for a couple of weeks now. I did a lot of review reading before I got it and thought I'd add my 2 cents now. The card installed fine on my iPAQ 2215. Just make sure you go to the Sandisk website and get the right drivers 1st. Don't use the ones on the CD. The only thing I would like to see is some more advanced network tools. Otherwise, no complaints!

Make sure you read the support issues on this card, and preferably call Tech support to see if there are known issues with your pocket PC before you buy this card. I bought this card for my Dell Axim X5 (Pocket PC 2002), and it just did not work, inspite of trying to install and uninstall thrice. Sandisk support site and customer service rep claimed that there are known issues with Dell Axim the 128 MB memory portion does not work. He claimed that only the wireless portion should work. However, that did not work either in my case inspite of trying everything under the sun. My recommendation stay away from this if you own a Dell Axim.

I have HP iPaq H2215 and use this wi-fi with my PDA. It works good and I was having a little bit hard time to install the software. I didn't use the software that came with it, I use the software from the SanDisk website (http://www.sandisk.com/retail/drivers-sdwcfb-128.asp).

The software for Pocket PC 2002 / Win CE is different with Pocket PC 2003. For Pocket PC 2003, it doesn't really support WEP Encryption or probably I don't know how to set it up.

I setup my router at home using WEP 128 bit encryption and I put a passphrase to encrypt it but when I tried to connect the internet using my PDA, it didn't work. I tried several times, changed the setup but still didn't work and then I decided to disable WEP settings and it worked and it still working right now.

Overall, this product is good and it has extra memory for my PDA.

This product far exceeds my expectations!!! It protects the screens on my DS perfectly. It was a little difficult to place on the bottom screen, but once I applied it, it has been great. There were very few bubbles, they pressed out easily.

I purchased this as an alternative to the much cheaper ones you buy at "Wally World". I am impressed with the quality. So far it seems to be holding up well, but I wonder if they will last long enough to be cost effective?

PDair B41 Black Leather Case for Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc X12

PDair B41 Black Leather Case for Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc X12This case fits very well to my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S phone. It has protected my phone from a few falls onto carpeted and linoleum surfaces. Drops were from around 3-4ft in height.

The falls I mentioned kind of occurred because of the case clip. The case is very well secured on there when locked into the clip. But it's fairly awkward to hit the release button and slide the case off to get the phone. I probably should use both hands but then I have to take the clip off from my pocket and I don't want to. :) In any case, no pun intended, it could be improved or even make the clip slimmer and non-removable would be better. I don't know might just be me, the other reason I took a star off was when I purchased the item I was under the impression it was in stock at Amazon, not in stock in HongKong. I knew it was going to take approx. 30 days to get here then the company sent an e-mail that said closer to 2 months. Luckily it must have caught a speedboat from China and made it here in only 10 days. Just felt a little deceived there. So half off a star for the clip and half off for the shipping.

Overall a very nice case and I would recommend it to other people. Plus I haven't seen anybody else with this side hinged design, most out there are sleeves or silicone covers or hinged at the top like a police persons' ticket book. Anyway does the job and doesn't block any of the ports or buttons on the phone.

Excellent product, the material is very good, its design is very safe and stylish looks great on the belt, I am very satisfied with the purchase.

This cover looks exactly the it is advertised. It is crafted with quality leather, feels safe, has a perfect fit, protects the cellphone entirely, has holes for everything that needs them. It is, overall a great cover.

Then again, it is not entirely without flaws. The magnet that closes the cover isn't very intuitive to close I find myself very often trying to close it and needing more than one or to attempts. Also, despite the perfect fit the handles that holds it in space are bigger than they should and I sometimes try to press that corner of the screen but instead I press those handles.

Although it is not a perfect cover, I now feel confident that I won't ruin my cellphone by accidentally letting him fall.

  • Green_Compliant - Yes
  • Green_Compliance_Certificate/authority - Energy Star
  • Ethernet - Yes
  • Number_Of_Input_Trays_Installed - 2

I've had this printer for about a year and a half and it's great. It just works and works with no problems, no jams and no bleeding text. Just fast reliable printing.

I am not able to use it as a network printer because it's not set up near my router and the wireless add-on is too pricey so I can't comment on that abilty.

If you want a simple, fast and reliable B&W printer this is a very good one.

rooCASE Neoprene Super Bubble Sleeve Case for HP Pavilion dm1z 11.6-Inch (Black / Dark Blue)

rooCASE Neoprene Super Bubble Sleeve Case for HP Pavilion dm1z 11.6-InchI was very impressed with the quality of this case. I love the bubbles they are very cushy and I think they protect my computer well.

I have no cons to this computer, in fact I bought a second one for my friend.

I bought this case for my HP 11.6 netbook and it's perfect. It's has a nice layer of padding for the beating the computer can take in a bookbag and have enough space to slip in a mouse, or other computer accessory or charging cord. I really like the blue/black color scheme. Great item and a low cost to protect your computer.

This is a great laptop sleeve. It fits my HP Pavilion snugly and has substantial padding. The pocket is nice for holding a CD/DVD, a small pad of paper, a pen/pencil and a flash drive, but isn't large enough for a mouse or a true hard drive. Great for putting in my backpack (when I already have lots of pocket space) so I know it's safe in there.

Tabletop Multi-port Charging Station for the Apple iPhone 4 - Clean design charges up to four device

Tabletop Multi-port Charging Station for the Apple iPhone 4 - Clean design charges up to four devices at once. Built using Gomadic TipExchange
  • Specification: Input Voltage (100 - 240vAC), Cable length (50 inches), Dimensions (9.25 X 5.5 X 1.5 inches), Charging Tips (Apple iPhone 4 specific, MicroUSB, MiniUSB, Female USB)
  • Powerful 10W (2000mAh) of available charging current enables simultaneous charging of multiple devices (up to four). Specific charging tip for Apple iPhone 4 plus three universal charging tips included. Additional charging connectors sold separately.
  • Power Sleep"" dramatically reduces power draw when devices are not connected. Less than 0.1W is used when charging station is in ""ready state"" mode
  • A quality product designed for daily use! Product is backed by the Gomadic comprehensive Lifetime Warranty.
  • Simple display tabletop design and glossy finish easily match any household decor. A perfect home base for charging the Apple iPhone 4 at home.

I purchased a charging station directly from Gomadic, rather than from Amazon, as I wanted to pick my own device tips. My purchase included 2 tips for iPhones/iPods, as well as tips for my Blackberry, video camera, Kindle and TomTom.

The charging station looks as nice as you can expect for this type of product. While it's not something I'd give pride of place in the living room, it is much more attractive than a rat's nest of cables plugged into a power strip. I liked the interchangeability of the tips, as DH and I have multiple iPhones, iPods and Kindles. I also liked that this came with adaptors for other countries, as I could see us taking just the AC adapter and a bunch of tips if we go to Europe (or anywhere else).

Everything worked really well until I tried to charge my iPhone 3GS. When I plugged the tip into it, the phone wouldn't charge. If you have an iPhone, you know that when you plug it in it makes a sound and the screen lights up nothing like that happened with the tip. I tried both of the tips for the iPhones, as well as both of our iPhones nothing. These tips worked just fine with both of my iPods (classic, not touch), so I knew it wasn't the tips. I also took the AC adaptor and a tip into the office and tried plugging it into my colleagues iPhone 4s again, nothing happened.

I contacted Gomadic tech support. They emailed me back pretty quickly, but they had no solution and recommended that I return the product for a refund, which I've done.

I don't want to say that Gomadic is misleading people about whether it's tip actually works with an iPhone. All I can say is that I tried four different phones and got no results, and their support people didn't seem to have any suggestions about how to make it work. You can draw your own conclusions.

I had the first generation. Saw this, compact size, assumed there would be some minor improvements. Actually a step back in some areas in my honest opinion

CONS

Biggest hassle is the base that your devices lay on is not fixed. It is "cradled" in top of the station and constantly moves and slips

Construction is more flimsy and is made of thin, cheap plastic.

Power cables are long, but not in individual channels and constantly become entangled with each other

PROS

There is a storage department under the base where you can store all of your tips (prevents them wandering, or being misplaced)

Long cables allow you to place bigger devices off to the side of the charging station

Bottom Line: Some pros, some cons. Gets the job done and sure beats having all of those individual chargers around

I bought this for my son for Christmas. It is very flimsy and does not fit his IPad 2 very well. I am very disappointed in the quality of this product. My son has said he does not like it, and asked for a new cover ( he is 12). If you're looking for a nice, sturdy case, this is not it.
