Your garden has saved you once already from a massive horde of fun-loving zombies in the original Plants vs. Zombies. Those creepy, brain-seeking beings jumped the fence at the edge of your yard, limped toward your house and met their match — your loyal yet incredibly unlikely army of petaled and leafy friends. Now the tattered monsters are back for more. Try your hand at ultimate garden warfare — and sow the seeds of victory once and for all.The eternal struggle between plants and zombies rages on. In this fast-paced third-person shooter, you choose between Zombies or Plants, and mercilessly beat up on the opposite team with the multitude of weapons at your disposal. Explosives, landmines...nothing is out of bounds in this battle royale. Customize Zombies and Plants alike with hundreds of unique items and a huge variety of new abilities. Duke it out on more than 10 dazzling multiplayer and cooperative battlefields. Battle it out in 24-player online combat, or team up with up to three of your friends and annihilate the enemy in four-player online co-op. Haven't you ever wondered what it's like to be a sunflower tasked with eliminating the undead once and for all?

Better have an Xbox Live Gold account!
on May 3, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this game for my 9-year-old daughter, and she loves it. As far as violence is concerned, it's plants and zombies... Nothing to get too worked up over in my opinion. Because this is an online multiplayer game, however, I was a little nervous about her interacting with others considering her age and gender. I was able to disable the microphone and turn down the volume so she could not hear what others were saying, so that seems to have worked out okay.
The reason for the lower rating is that you must have a XBox Live GOLD account to play the game. My daughter had a free XBox Live Silver account, which was not adequate. After looking closer at the box, I did see is indicated (in a very small graphic) that a gold account was required. The requirement could have been denoted much more prominently on the case, though. As I mentioned before, it also took a little bit of effort on my part to ensure the online interaction was restricted to what I would have considered an age-appropriate setting. (With that being said, I still prefer being able to modify those settings myself as a parent, as opposed to some games which simply limit access under a certain age, whether I deem such restriction reasonable for my child or not.)
Long story, short... My daughter really enjoys the game. Just be prepared to buy a XBox Live Gold account if you do not already have one (and do some work to make the online interactions age appropriate, if the purchase is for kids).

The Smart Cover for the 9.7-inch iPad Pro is constructed from a single piece of polyurethane to protect the front of your device. The Smart Cover automatically wakes your iPad when opened and puts it to sleep when closed. It folds into different positions to create a stand for reading, typing, or watching videos. And it’s easy to remove, so you can snap it on and off whenever you want.

Good, simple, no frills 9.7" iPad Pro case.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Being an Apple-produced product, one would hope it works well with the 9.7" iPad Pro, which it does. It fits like a glove (does not add a great deal of bulk to the iPad), provides a minimal level of protection for the iPad, and works well with the onboard magnets to turn the iPad screen on and off. I am sure there are less expensive options available now from third parties, but I am happy with this case and see no reason to make a change.

Maintain optimum oral health with the Sonicare Airfloss Pro. This electric flosser cleans between teeth by using a jet of compressed air combined with water or mouthwash. Customize the device's spray pattern with the single-, double- or triple-burst settings during the 60-second programmed routine. Replace the Sonicare Airfloss Pro's nozzle tips every six months to ensure proper functioning.

Older model seemed to be more effective.

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is the second AirFloss I have owned. (I needed to replace the first one after a few years of use when the head broke and replacements were no longer available.) Personally, I liked the earlier version better. It seemed to deliver more water and power with each "spritz." One improvement, however, is the reservoir on this version is larger and I can AirFloss all my teeth without having to refill the reservoir, which is nice.
Even though I liked my earlier version better, I still prefer to use the AirFloss as opposed to traditional flossing. We will see what my dentist thinks soon enough, I supppose.

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro delivers an unprecedented combination of portability and performance. At just 6.1mm thin and weighing less than a pound, iPad Pro features the brightest, most advanced Retina display ever with True Tone, advanced sensors that adjust the display to your environment for even more comfortable viewing. It has a powerful A9X chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, four speaker audio, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, ultrafast Wi-Fi connectivity, and up to 10 hours of battery life. When you add Apple Pencil with its pixel-perfect precision, and the incredibly thin Smart Keyboard, iPad Pro becomes even more versatile.*

Finally, the iPad I really wanted!
on April 25, 2016
Posted by: Greg
Verified Purchase:Yes
While I have been using an iPad since the first iteration was released years ago, this is the first version that really encompassed features that made this purchase so gratifying. To begin, I did have a 12.9" iPad Pro before purchasing this 9.7" iPad Pro. The 12.9" was entirely much too large for use as a tablet. When traveling or reading at home, the 12.9" was cumbersome and, with an attached keyboard, was actually heavier and larger than the MacBook I was using. I had an iPad Mini as well, but it seemed just a little too small. The 9.7" was a perfect size, and with its new features, provided built-in charging for the Smart Keyboard, allowed me to use the Apple Pencil, and also increased the memory to 256 GB (the previous 128 GB versions were just too small and I used up that space very quickly). Even with the Smart Keyboard attached, the iPad Pro is very portable, light, and comfortable to hold and use. The Apple Pencil works great with it as well. I also like the ambient lighting feature (or whatever Apple is calling it) that adjusts the temperature of the color of the display to match the ambient lighting. The effect is subtle, but very noticeable if the device is compared with another one that does not include the feature.
As much as I love my 9.7" iPad Pro, it is still not a laptop killer for me as iOS precludes me from using many of the applications I am used to working with on my Mac. It is still great for traveling or taking into meetings for tasks such as email, taking notes, and even working with word processing documents (like Pages and Word). I also use it extensively for providing presentations through either AirPlay or by a VGA or HDMI adapter. Until this version of the iPad came out, I used to have Microsoft Surface Pro envy, but not anymore.

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.

Need to charge an Apple Watch? This is the cable.
on April 3, 2016
Posted by: Greg
Verified Purchase:Yes
If you have an Apple Watch and you need an extra charger, this is the cable you need. I have not tried any third party cables... Only this cable. Works as advertised. Kind of expensive for a charging cable, but what can you do? If you want an Apple produced/certified cable, this is it.

I purchased this game for my son, and he seems to like it. There are not many choices out there for hockey games, though, so its pretty much this or nothing...

Good TV for Educational Purposes
on March 18, 2016
Posted by: Greg
Verified Purchase:Yes
We specifically purchased this television because it was the largest unit we could find for under $500. It is somewhat simple compared to other televisions available on the market today, but it does exactly what we need it to do (which is displaying PowerPoint presentations, YouTube videos, and other educational-related items). For the money, this was a great deal.

Purchased Specifically for AirPlay Capabilities
on March 18, 2016
Posted by: Greg
Verified Purchase:Yes
This Apple TV was purchased specifically for its AirPlay capabilities for use in an academic setting. When partnered with a TV and an iOS device, the integration is seamless and works exactly as advertised. Updates to the TV OS has improved security as well, so our IT department is happy too.

iPad mini 4 has a gorgeous 7.9-inch Retina display, yet it's only 6.1mm thin and weighs just 0.65 pounds, making it small enough to hold in one hand. It has a powerful A8 chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity, iCloud, the breakthrough Touch ID fingerprint sensor, and up to 10 hours of battery life. It also includes great apps for productivity and creativity, and powerful new features in iOS 9 like multitasking. And there are even more incredible apps available in the App Store.

Perfect size and it's an iPad
on March 14, 2016
Posted by: Greg
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have owned pretty much every iPad ever made, from the mini to the Pro, and the mini is probably my favorite. It is a great size that fits in a single hand. I like to read before bed, and the iPad mini is great for that! It is thin and light, and has a sensational screen. 16 GB is pretty small by today's standards, however. When traveling, I prefer the iPad Air and, if looking for a laptop replacement, the iPad Pro is a much better choice (although it is a lot larger and more expensive).
Some of the other iPads do have nicer features, such as the Apple Pencil and Smart Keyboard for the Pro, or the faster processor of the Air. An iPad mini is not purchased for performance, though... It is designed for portability, which it delivers in spades.

Love the Watch but no Sleep Tracking
on March 14, 2016
Posted by: Greg
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love my Apple watch. When paired with my iPhone, it works seamlessly to keep me in touch and up-to-date without having to constantly pull out my phone. I love seeing my text messages on my wrist and the activity tracking features make this watch worth the price of admission (especially when compared with other activity trackers). When paired with my bluetooth headphones, I have a decent music library with me on my runs without having to take a separate mp3 player or phone with me. Oh, it is also water resistant (wear it in the shower without any problems) and it even tells the time!
The only shortcoming is that the watch does need to be charged overnight. Unlike other activity trackers, this precludes the ability to track my sleep, although that's not a big deal for me as I think that data is somewhat useless anyway. (So I was up three times last night... What can I do about it?)
Oh, the limitation on songs is 2 GB and it does not allow me to use reserved storage for photos for additional songs, which would be a nice feature as I do not store any photos on my watch. (Who wants to look at a 1" photo? Maybe my eyes are just old...)
Everyone in my family has one of these watches and they all love them!

Will this fit a 13.3 in Mac pro
No. The 13" MacBook Pro is a different design. This case will fit the 13.3" MacBook Air only.
