Nice looking and protective with some minor flaws

Although I have not tried the drop test, this is a really nice looking and sturdy case. As others have said, the clear inserts can be a little bit of trouble to get in place, but it's not that bad really. My only real problem with the case is there is not quite enough clearance around the USB and HDMI ports. Some USB drives and HDMI cables hit the case and won't seat fully. It's a workable issue, but a bit of an annoyance on an expensive case.

Can't imagine a better blender for the price

I've had several blenders over the years, the most recent a Cuisinart, mostly in the $50-$60 price range. They are all in the garbage or on a thrift store shelf by now. After reading reviews, I decided to spend a little more and wow it has been money well spent. The jump in quality that small investment buys is apparent in every detail of this blender. I've been really surprised by just how well-built this thing is for the money.
Everything about it feels really solid and well-made, and all of the parts fit together snugly. There is plenty of power for making smoothies with completely frozen fruit and all those blades pulverize ice easily. The front panel buttons have a nice positive feel and the panel itself is easy to clean. I love the locking lid but use the pour spout only for adding additional liquids during blending. The blending pitcher is easy to clean (I have yet to put it in the dishwasher) and soap rinses away easily. It locks onto the base with a satisfying and positive click. A nice touch is that the removable blade shaft fits over a fairly tall spindle so it doesn't fall out every time you tilt the pitcher (but I still recommend holding it in place when you pour.)
If you like lots of choices or have a need for timers or dozens of speeds, this may not be the best choice for you. I've always been a bit of a minimalist in that area (my Bonavita coffeemaker has exactly one button), so the "3 speed with pulse" model is perfectly adequate for me.
I'm very happy with this blender purchase and highly recommend it if you can spend a little more money to take the next step on a better blender. I can't imagine really needing a Blendtec or Vitamix for home use with this option available.

At-a-distance charge status

I bought this cable because my four year old son thought it was cool. I thought it was gimmicky and a few dollars more than I wanted to spend on a charge cable, but got it anyway. Turns out it's really nice to be able to glance across the room and see when your phone is charged. The chasing lights slow down when charging is near completion and stop when the phone is completely charged. Other than that, it is just a charging cable and does that job just fine.

Used to be a Samsung fan...

Verified Purchase:Yes
I used to buy Samsung TVs almost exclusively, but I just couldn't get a satisfying picture on the last one I bought. I'm not overly picky about perfect color, but the picture was way too washed out, even after tons of fiddling with the settings. The Sony is really slick. I didn't need a smart TV since I have several streaming devices, but I did need 4 HDMI inputs and USB, which the Sony had. After using it for a while, I found myself using the smart features more and more since it was more convenient than firing up yet another device. The smart menu system is pretty good, but takes a few more clicks than I would like. The Netflix experience on the Sony isn't quite as good as my Roku, but it's by far the best of any other smart TV I tried. The color on the set is fantastic with almost no adjustments necessary. Just so you now there is no tilt adjustment on the stand, but I have no issues with that. It's a very nice looking TV for the price with a slim, but not non-existent, bezel, the U-shaped stand, and a relatively thin profile. I'm very happy with this purchase.

Great NAS device for the price
on January 5, 2014

Note that I am using Ubuntu Linux on my laptop, so these remarks may or may not apply to users on Windows or Mac.
So this thing is basically a stripped down Linux server with a single, large hard drive and a built-in web server. You can access the system on your local network with desktop or mobile apps, or directly via the built-in web server . Your data can also be made available over the web from anywhere with a little additional set up. I have played with the cloud access and it seems to work fine, though it's a little slow. I haven't used it for anything serious, so I can't make any further comments.
I've been using the device as a media server as well as a network attached backup device. It serves fairly well in both cases.
It's fast enough to serve as a media streaming device, and I've never had any issues streaming full-HD video over my N-class wireless. But it's a bit slow when doing my weekly backups, transfer drops as low as 3MB/sec when moving files over the wireless network. The shares on the device are exposed as Windows Shares, and I am accessing them with a Linux laptop. This could be the cause of the less-then-stellar performance, and a bit of tweaking may help. My backups run unattended at night so it hasn't been an issue for me.
I'm very happy with this NAS device. You can't beat it for the price.

Fast, light tablet with lots of pixels

This is a fantastic small-size tablet. The screen is gorgeous with lots of pixels. It's light and thin, but still feels comfortable in your hands. It's a Google product so you'll get the latest OS updates. It's faster than my older Galaxy Tab 8.9, but the battery life isn't quite as good, and it doesn't feel quite as solidly built. That said, I've had no problems at all with the build. The top and bottom of the tablet extend well beyond the edge of the screen, which doesn't look terribly sexy, but makes it easier to read the screen while holding the device in landscape orientation.
All in all, a fantastic tablet, especially at the price point.
