Control your life with the Amazon Echo. It started with a music player that could play anything from Prime Music to Spotify and Pandora, and it gives you hands-free convenience, yet it can now control lights, switches and thermostat and answer questions thanks to advanced voice recognition. Use the Amazon Echo to order an Uber or even pizza from Domino's.

Excellent! Excellent Device!

Amazon Echo is so incredibly cool. The only thing that would make it better would be if I could call it Jarvis when I speak to it. I would totally feel like Iron Man. Once you setup your iHeart Radio, Pandora Jam and Amazon Prime - your music possibilities are endless. It will also give you news headlines, weather, wake up alarms, etc. You can teach it skills such as telling jokes, random pick up lines or even pootering on demand. My kids love that it has a quite extensive poot library. (something I never thought i'd say) One warning! It gets expensive quick. I had it two days and was already back at Best Buy buying a Phillips Hue Starter Kit so I could control my bedroom lights by voice. Not mention that you can order using Amazon Prime by voice. Although some setup to do so is required. As far as the overall initial configuration is very easy. The sound is very good and it makes a great blue tooth speaker as well.

There OK for sound in a pinch

I bought this for a testing tool when working on computers. So for what I need them for - they're fine. The upside is they are packable and come with a carrying pouch. Sound quality is not great. Low to mid volume they are fine. Honestly...more than like likely most tablets or laptops now a days will probably sound better that these do. Of course, at the price point, you can't expect much.

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects — just like with a conventional pencil.

Probably the best stylus/pen i've ever used

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased the Apple Pencil for my 9.7" iPad Pro and then purchased another for my Mom's 12" iPad. We both love it. As far as writing, drawing, shading,etc - its phenomenal. The only negative I would have to say about it is that the battery does not appear to last very long even when not in use. I have read that if you keep it away from your iPad when not in use - the battery lasts longer. But who wants to do that? I use cases that keep the pencil with the iPad. On the bright side, its very nice to be able to plug it into the lightening port of the iPad and get plenty of charge to use it.

Same as every other iPhone only bigger!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I upgraded from the iPhone 6 Plus to this iPhone 6s Plus. The only reason I did was that my wife wanted my old phone to move from Android. Both these phones are the same, short of the force touch function which I personally thought was cool but always forget about it and don't use it. The processor is faster but honestly I don't notice a difference. I never had performance issues with the old one. The only reason I gave this an average rating is because Apple no longer truly innovates they just re-create with round edges instead of squared or silliness like that. If this was your first iPhone - you'd love it.

Looks good but over priced and not very durable
on May 13, 2016
Posted by: JohnnyV
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this for my wife because she was in love with it. Its very nice looking. It is very heavy due to the crystals on back. Its original price was $79 which I think is way over priced. However, Best Buy matched and got the price down. My wife dropped the phone/case shortly after she got it and the case separated at the connection points. The phone was not damaged which is good but the case cracked about half way across. You think for as much as the manufacturer charges for this it would outlast a single fall.

Great Apple Watch Protector

This is actually the second time I have purchases on of these X-Doria Apple watch cases. I originally purchased the red one back at Christmas time and it has been great. I did have it pop off once while working in the garage. Something must have caught underneath it just right, Other than that - I've never had an issue. They are extremely quick and easy to swap without having to even take the case off of your wrist.

This thing sucks!......But in a good way :-)

We purchase this to suck up white lab hair from our brown micro fiber couch. It does a great job and has dual attachments depending on if you need a little extra grip to loosen hair. It does exhaust on the side so getting pet hair from solid surfaces can be a little challenging as it blows it around. Its pretty loud too. But overall it does what it needs to for the price.

Its an iPad....not a laptop replacement.
on May 2, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought the 9.7" iPad Pro and the Apple keyboard. They are a great pair but definitely not a laptop killer. It does have plenty of horsepower and combined with the Apple pencil its a pretty sweet setup. All in all though, not a whole lot different than any other iPad I've owned...and I've owned most of them. A little thinner. Battery doesn't seem as good but I think that's due in part to the Apple keyboard drawing it down.

All it takes is the swipe of a finger. We connect with friends. We buy the latest gadgets and gear. We find out what's happening in the world. But with that same simple swipe, we cast an increasingly expansive shadow. With each connection, we leave a digital trail that tracks our every move and milestone, our every like and dislike. And it's not just people. Today, all major cities are networked. Urban infrastructures are monitored and controlled by complex operating systems.In Watch Dogs, this system is called the Central Operating System (CTOS) — and it controls almost every piece of the city's technology and holds key information on all of the city's residents. You play as Aiden Pearce, a brilliant hacker, whose criminal past led to a violent family tragedy. Now on the hunt for those who hurt your family, you'll be able to monitor and hack all who surround you by manipulating everything connected to the city's network. Access omnipresent security cameras, download personal information to locate a target, control traffic lights and public transportation to stop the enemy... and more.

This game is good at the beginning but once the newness wears off it gets a little repetitive.

How big
Each speaker is a little bigger and thicker than a pack of playing cards. The cables connect to the bottom of each speaker and act as a stand.
