Best choice of protective cover!

Although this was not my original choice, it is outstanding! So glad we went this way to give our iPad Air that extra "bumper" of security. The grandchildren can handle it very easily and safely. Protecting the screen is great in the kitchen or for outdoor use.

What's great about it: Offers complete protection wherever you set it down. Gives you a "bumper-protective" feeling. Front screen safe!
What's not so great: A bit tricky to open flap to access camera. Gets easier with use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

great replacement hard drive for laptop

Verified Purchase:Yes
Very pleased with installation of portable hard drive, as a replacement, when our laptop crashed. Gave our laptop "new life", rather than purchasing brand new computer. Consider this again to extract all files from "ruined hard drive" and transferring to new one. Great savings!

Designed for use with most 32" to 55" TVs, this Sony HTXT1 sound system's integrated full-range speakers and dual built-in subwoofers enrich your favorite TV shows, movies and games. The 170W S-Master amplifier effectively powers the unit.
 

Wobbliness?

This system has four small raised footprints, the unit I received was extremely wobbly with one footprint never touching the flat surface it was on creating an unevenness in one corner.

Has anyone else had an issue with their system sitting wobbly like this, or are all four footprints solidly touching the flat surface its placed on?

Also, has anyone had any issues with this system "moving" slightly from where it sits after prolonged loud or bass heavy sound? Asking to see if even I recieve a unit that sits solid on a flat surface if it's prone to move later by sound vibration. Thanks.
We did not have this issue. Our sits on a movable lazy susan made out of oak. Cannot comment on vibrations issues as we hooked it in to view television programs. When we listen to the music channels, same quality wo/movement. We do not extra speaker systems hooked into it. I wonder if perhaps, you got one w/footpads slightly misplaced. Just a thought.

The HP 564 setup cartridge w/ the Black Pentagon.......

It is thicker than the Photo ink Cartridge. Does that needs to be in place, for my color pictures to be printed. The ink in the cartridge is out, what other cartridge is needed? The same, which I cannot find or another HP 564 Photo Black cartridge, which is much thinner. Thank you, I have the wireless HO Photosmart 7525 printer.

Thank you!
We discovered that you do need to replace your regular black ink cartridge when printing photos even though you do have the photo black cartridge installed with ink supply. Apparently, during printing, your projects pull a degree of black from both.
