Easily recharge your phone with this Apple eight-pin braided cable. It's compatible with standard Lightning devices such as the iPhone 5, the iPad Air and the iPhone 7 so that you can quickly get charging. The braiding on this Apple eight-pin braided cable ensures it's durable and resists fraying and wear.

I hope it lasts longer then the other lighting cables I've used in the past. Braided cables are pretty good at protecting the wires so fingers crossed.

Steady your hand while you catch Pokémon with this PopSocket device. It has a fun Pokeball graphic and lets you hold your phone with a better grip or prop it for hands-free viewing.

Goofy but functional viral device
on December 4, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
It doesn't do much of anything but I guess its pretty clever? it stretches and locks into place to help people grip their device and then compresses into itself. The adhesive seems to hold pretty well. I could glue a rubber band to the back of my phone and it would make it just as annoying to remove it from my pocket. I wouldn't personally ever put one of these on my phone but its for my daughter and she's happy so I guess that makes it ok.

Ice cold

I was very satisfied with the temperature at which the cooler kept my root beer. if you have never had root beer, this is a good example of its flavor and unlike most other root beers, this bad boy is caffeinated.

it works

Verified Purchase:Yes
Its a USB to USB C cable. It works and the connections are just as snug as any other brand cable I've used. The insulation on the outside feels pretty beefy. If its anything like the other insignia cables I've owned it will start falling out of the phone before the cable gets damaged so I'm happy with it

love it but still could offer more

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really am happy with the light. The color isn't exactly accurate or at least doesn't appear as accurate as Hue but these don't require a bridge. the software from TP link is pretty user friendly and the setup was very easy. IFTT is the only way I'm getting the most of the bulbs but I'm ok with that for now. Got it paired up with my google home and now I'm going to make more of my fixtures smart because I don't want to ever touch a light switch again *wink*

Google Home Mini is a smart speaker powered by the Google Assistant, so you can ask it questions and tell it to do things. Just start with "Ok Google" to enjoy your entertainment, get answers from Google, tackle your day, and control your smart home. Google Home Mini works on its own or you can have a few around the house, giving you the power of Google anywhere."

This tiny little speaker is great. Tells me about the day, the news, plays music, even allows me to control smart things in my house. It doesn't sound as good and the home but I'm holding out for the Google home max for that great sound with Google assistant.

I was a Samsung user for years and then came this moto. Its got a lot of horsepower and a nice feel in the hand but it felt best against my wallet. Its not a galaxy s8 but its very quick, got a good camera, plenty of storage. For less then half the cost of those flagship devices, I'm super satisfied.

I've had these crisps a few times. They never really seem to hit the mark as far as tasting like the real thing. They are totally edible though

better then gen 1

I love chromecast. My first gen device was working fine but I wanted to see if Google would give me any addtional incentives for buying another device - nope, at least not yet.
It does start my video streams just a tad faster then the older device which is a plus but nothing too exciting. Still, great and if you grab it on sale at $30 you're gonna love it

it works but not as simple as I hoped
on November 17, 2017
Posted by: Stosh

Verified Purchase:Yes
It took some struggling to get this guy installed on my network. I'll admit most of my struggle was due to my cell phone having software installed by ATT that kicked me out of the setup because when connected to the plug there is obviously no internet access and the att app wouldn't allow me to maintain a connection. That was super frustrating and I'd venture to guess most people would just have given up and returned it as defective.
Turning off ATT smart wifi and boom super simple to get it going.
I don't have an Echo or Google home device yet so setting that portion up was impossible for Google. Alexa allows you to set the device up via the Alexa app and add the insignia connect skill so I can control it that way. Booo Google!

Do you have to have a SMART home to use the Google Home?

Nope, just a Google account and wifi

With an 8" TFT touch screen, this Samsung Galaxy Tab A SM-T350NZAAXAR tablet simplifies content navigation. Dual-band Wi-Fi makes it easy to access the Web, and a Bluetooth 4.1 interface enables you to pair with select devices.
 

can i add a data plan or is it just wifi???

i have a samsung galaxy tablet sm-t800 and it is ONLY WIFI i tried buy a data plan for it and nope cant do that wish i could take it back . Please specify if it is only wifi in the future please
If it doesn't say GSM or CDMA compatable AKA as 4G LTE , then you it does say that its only wi-fi. Best Buy does offer the Tab S in a cellular device. You should be looking at the model SM-T807

Samsung tab 8 inches vs samsung pro 8.4inches

The 8 inch is $229 and pro is $199 and a bit larger
They are both great and fast. The biggest differences you may notice between the Tab A vs the Tab Pro will be weight and screen size. Yes the Pro has a 8.4 inch screen but it also has a 16:9 screen ratio vs the Tab A's 4:3 ratio. The difference here is the A has a screen that's more square vs the elongated and thinner Tab Pro. The shape of the Tab A's is more akin to reading a book in its vertical position.

All that said, the tab pro is a tiny bit faster and has more system ram. It is last years device so even with those extra specs it may stop getting software support long before the Tab A.

Both are excellent devices and if I could chose again, I'd go with the Tab Pro while the cost is low but I do really like the Tab A, enough that I bought it over the Pro because of the life of the software.

Will the Nook app run on the Tab A device?

Nook, Kindle, Google Books.... There are a bunch of e book apps that will run on the Tab A.
I will say that depending on the type of books you own your experience may vary (ie audio books under Nook have some compatibility issues running on non Nook devices)
I personally say go for it. Get the tablet and install your account. If you were to have any issues, best buy's return policy will take care of that.

Problem with software update

Anyone else have a problem with system software update? It automatically downloaded a system update but it fails to install. Says "Failed to update software, try again using smart switch on your computer or visit Samsung service center" Samsung support says do a hard reset which will erase everything on the tablet, I want a better solution than that. Anyone have another solution?
Have you tried to take it back to best buy and have your Samsung rep in the Samsung Experience Store try and flash it? That is typically one of the solutions offered by Samsung support. They should be able to update your system software without forcing a factory reset.

Can you easily delete unwanted, preloaded apps?

Depends on the preloaded apps. Most preloaded software can't be completely uninstalled, however you do have the ability to remove any updates and disable the apps from running. This also moves the apps out of your app locker.
