Pleasantly surprised

Even though they sell an "XL" version of this, this version fit my Nexus 6P just fine. I was otherwise very surprised by the sturdy and durable feel to the construction, and the rubber grips that hold your phone. This will attach to most standard tripods with changable heads. The very nature of the design of this phone means it will work with just about any phone. I never felt my phone was in any danger of slipping out of the grips.

This is exactly what I was hoping it would be, though still seems expensive for what it is. I had no issues installing it, and the tool it comes with works great. The silicon feels nice, and not too cheap, and isn't abrasive.

Another great innovation from Nintendo
on March 31, 2017
Posted by: GoodSodaBadPackage

Verified Purchase:Yes
Nintendo is known for trying new things. Some are a hit, some are a miss. I feel like the Switch could be a hit. It's great having console-quality games that I can easily take with me on the go. The screen is perfectly fine, and the resolution is just fine for this screen size. The battery life I also think is just fine. Playing Legend of Zelda I can get 4 hours of playtime, which is about all you're going to get playing a graphics-intensive game on a mobile phone, or any other mobile gaming device (the market Nintendo is trying to aim for). Expecting significantly more than that I think is expecting too much.
I do find the kickstand to be flimsy and poorly placed, making the Switch feel precariously perched when propped up on it. I've also had issues with my left joycon having a weak connection when only sitting about 10 feet from the console when docked. It's a very frustrating experience and in my opinion the biggest issue with the console so far.
It does get pretty warm in the dock after a few hours of Zelda, but when playing handheld, it does not get nearly as warm,

The cool color is not super bright, and maybe not as blue as you might hope, and the warm does not feel as warm as you might hope. But it's still a versatile bulb and Hue is great.

Does what it needs to do
on February 3, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
Philips Hue is perhaps best known for it's interoperability with a large number of apps and services. It has an open API that lets just about any developer create an app or service that works with the Hue system.
This Hue bridge is necessary to control most Hue lights (a select few have limited control without the bridge). One bridge supports up to 50 lights. It lets you divide the lights into rooms so they can be controlled together; or you could operate each light independently.
If you want to be able to turn the lights on and off with physical wall switches like you can with a traditional light, you will need to buy a compatible Hue switch (there are a couple different types available).

The colors these lights produce are very nice, and brightness is sufficient. Though they seem brightest around the whiter colors. Hue is known less for it's colors/brightness (though very good) and more for it's interoperability with countless apps and services. You will really get the most out of these lights the more you have.

Wow
on January 23, 2017
Posted by: GoodSodaBadPackage

Verified Purchase:Yes
You will be wow'd by the sound that comes from this speaker. This small speaker produces room filling sound that doesn't sound tinny or hollow, even at high volumes. It obviously uses EQ effects to get a room-filling sound, but that is fine for this. Music still sounds authentic and true, and it serves its purpose of a portable speaker. The exposed "woofers" on the sides are a bit concerning, and seem to be an invitation for foreign objects; but the box this comes in is nice and could double as protective storage.

good, not great

The benefits of this phone clearly are the Nexus name. Software will always up to date, not locked to any carrier, and bootloader is unlockable for all the brave. Love the big beautiful screen, and also liking the front speakers more than expected. Although rapid charging is great, the battery life overall isn't what I would like, and right now usb-c is still a pain. Need to research the right adapters, cables, and chargers to make sure you're getting stuff that will rapid charge and is spec compliant. Really annoying. Also the GPS and Compass feel less accurate than my previous phone. I've had Waze thinking I was getting off every exit I passed on the highway, and google maps thinking I'm pointing the wrong way. Pokemon Go also has a lot more "no gps signal" errors than my last phone. I also expected the camera to be better and faster. It is a good camera, maybe better than average; but not a great camera.

Slide this Platinum TTL Nikon flash into your camera’s hot shoe to open up a world of low-light opportunity. Made to work automatically, this flash also has a manual mode to help you achieve custom results. Use the slave modes on this Platinum TTL Nikon flash for off-camera operation and set up creative shots in the studio.
 

Will this flash work with Nikon D5600 camera.?

Yes it will. Works perfectly with my D5500 which is basically the same camera.

I currently own an amazon echo. Do I need hubs for hue bulbs, then hubs for other items ie security, or is there a hub that covers the bulbs and general other items?

You will need the Hue hub for the bulbs. Requirements for other devices are specific to those devices.

What about android users? How does it work?

There is a Philips Hue app for Android, among many other compatible apps, and works perfectly fine, no issues.

Is the second generation bridge Wi-Fi compatible. I don't want to have to hook up to a router is there anything I can use that just picks up Wi-Fi signal?

It needs to be hardwired, but its physical location isn't very important as long as it can communicate with at least one light. The lights can act as a "bridge" if some lights are out of range of the hub.

Dual external bass radiators offer booming low tones, and you can enjoy clear phone calls with the integrated speakerphone.
 

Can I connect multiple Flip 3 speakers to the same device?

It has a feature that will connect multiple filp3 speakers together if you want to use them at the same time. If you're looking to just pair to different speakers, you could do that, but you might have to go through the pairing steps whenever you connected to a different speaker.

does the JBL flip speaker ..designed to stand up or lay horizontally???. .

I think horizontally since the "woofers" on the sides reflex in and out when playing music. If rolling away is a concern, I have used it on its side and it still sounds and works fine.

Is the power supply unit for charging this a multi voltage input (110-240VAC) or is it only 110VAC?

It only comes with a USB cable for charging, and no wall adapter. So you could use any USB power adapter that fits your needs.

I bought the compressed air and used it on my computer and now every time I am on the computer I get a terrible bitter taste on my hands. How can I get this off of my keyboard?

Wipe the keyboard with a damp cloth. The bittering agent shouldn't have gotten on the keyboard unless you shook the can or turned it upside down.

Organize your camera and accessories with this Lowepro Transit Sling 150 AW LP36619 bag that features dedicated pockets and an UltraFlex system for versatile on-the-go storage. A side zipper offers quick access to your camera when you need it.
 

Will the Lowpro Transit sling 150AW hold a Canon Rebel T3i and an extra lense??

This says for compact DSLR camera, so I don't know if the T3i will fit with this sling or do I need the larger Lowpro 250W Sling?
This should fit your gear. Might require a little finagling depending on the exact size of your camera and lens, but it will fit. I have a Nikon D5500 with a 55-300mm lens in addition to the kit lens in this bag, and some accessories. It's not a perfect fit, but it works.
