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.

Focus on productivity with this Logitech protective case. It has an integrated keyboard that ensures you can work hard on your iPad without having to use the on-screen keyboard, and it keeps it in and upright position for ease of use. This Logitech protective case also keeps your iPad's screen safe as you take it out and about.

Bought this Logitech keyboard case to complement an iPad 2018 purchase. Very nice keyboard with great battery life (4 years of normal use). Only wish it had an integrated holder for the Apple Pencil.

Charging your Apple Watch is utterly effortless with an Apple solution that combines MagSafe technology with inductive charging. It's a completely sealed system free of exposed contacts. And it's very forgiving, requiring no precise alignment. You simply hold the connector near the back of the watch, where magnets cause it to snap into place automatically.

Apple Watch original charger

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this as a second Apple Watch charger for travel. The replacement chargers are a bit nicer with a stainless steel outer ring rather than plastic.

Accurate, convenient blood pressure monitor
on December 29, 2017
Posted by: DougB
from Avon Lake, OH
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had been looking at the QardioArm product for some time. The QardioArm nicely interfaces with your iPhone/Apple Watch as well as with the Health app. (There is also an Android app.). After a recent annual physical I thought it would be a good idea to periodically track my blood pressure. QardioArm works as claimed and I had found that the blood pressure readings are very repeatable and consistent with those taken in my doctor’s office. The only quirk that I have found is that if you have multiple users, the last user needs to momentarily turn off Bluetooth so that QuardioArm disconnects and the other user can connect.

Rapidly charge a wide range of devices with this Insignia fast charging pad. Simply place your Qi-enabled device on the pad, and it instantly starts charging without having to have anything plugged into it. When you're done, simply take your device off this Insignia fast charging pad and start using it.

Qi certified wireless charger for your smartphone
on October 27, 2017
Posted by: DougB
from Avon Lake, OH
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Qi certified wireless charger is rated at 15W and supports pretty much any smart phone with wireless charging on the market. The packaging indicates that it is for Samsung, however, I am using on an iPhone 8/iPhone 8+ without issue. Currently the iPhones only charge at 5W but are expected to be increased to 7.5W through a future software update. (Note that there is an Insignia charger for iPhone and is labeled as such, however, it has the same exact specifications, costs $5 more, and there is no physical difference other than the packaging.) Other less expensive wireless chargers may work but I am hesitant to use one which is not Qi certified. Remember you are paying $700+ for your smart phone.

Purchased the Roku for my parents as Spectrum was going all digital in their area. The Spectrum app is available on Roku and allowed them to see all of the Spectrum content without the need to pay monthly fee for a digital adapter. Pays for itself within 4 months.

Excellent alternative to original Apple Watch ban
on August 19, 2017
Posted by: DougB
from Avon Lake, OH
Verified Purchase:Yes
I was looking for an affordable stainless watch band to go with my Apple Watch. I had been looking for some time when I found this one at my local Best Buy store. The band is very well made and has a good finish. The band length is changed through pushing out pins on the appropriate links with the supplied tool. My recommendation is to push the pins back in by pressing the pin firmly on a hard surface until it seats rather than use the tool for reassembly.

Gentle color combines with powerful water and sweat resistance to produce this sport band for the Apple Watch. It's designed for high-intensity exercise, moving in conjunction with your wrist to stay comfortable, and the secure closure keeps it firmly on. This sport band is designed for the 38mm Apple Watch for easy compatibility.

Nice match for Apple Watch

The band is very similar to original Apple Watch bands. The band is of a standard thickness unlike some other third party bands. Only small issue is that the band is long and might be too long on thin wrists.

Does this have a c plug?

No, it has a micro USB connector. The power supply and cable are provided with the unit.

Can this be used outdoors?

I would like to monitor the exterior of my property. I can reasonably shield the camera from rain but the temperatures are what I'm concerned about.
Belkin does not list specifications for temperature on their webpage. Best to email Belkin Customer Support.

Cloud recording

I see there is an available recording service. How much is it a month ?
Belkin offers a recording service at $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. Videos are kept for 14 days. This looks like a charge per camera not per account so a bit pricey. I have not investigated other options.

Althernately, you can enable to motion sensor on the camera to send you an email when tripped. The email includes a capture from the video camera. Find that it can be a bit sensitive and can be tripped by changes in brightness from windows so you will get some false trips.

Can multiple cameras be on the same netcam app?

Can i have multiple Cameras that are connected to the same netcam app so i can switch between them and look through all cameras on the same app or is it only one camera that can be used?
Yes, I have 2 Belkin HD cameras accessible from the Netcam App on my iPhone and iPad.
