Crafted from specially tanned and finished European leather for a luxurious look and feel, the iPhone X Leather Folio fits snugly around your iPhone. Open it, and your iPhone X wakes up. Close it, and it goes to sleep. Inside there's a soft microfiber lining for even more protection, and space to hold your bills, small notes, and several cards. And you can keep it on all the time, even when you're charging wirelessly.

Could be 5 stars, but it breaks the one hand use

Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this case so I could have genuine Apple leather accessory for my new iPhone X.
The Good:
Fits perfectly
Apple quality materials
Protection for front and back of iPhone X
Works with wireless charging

The not so good:
Since 2007, I've been using one hand to capture video and photos, this product breaks that, requiring two hands to operate or the folio cover gets in your way
Folding the folio cover over makes the camera unusable
The card/cash slots are a poor design, cards fall out because they are too large
Very bulky case in my front pocket

Needed cable for Apple CarPlay

Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a short cable for my center console to use Apple CarPlay, and this little guy fit the need perfectly!
The good:
Perfect size to fit from the hidden USB in the center console to the surface of the console/armrest area

The not so good:
It's white, and stands out against my dark console, could prove to be interesting to thieves, so I keep it hidden when not in use

Enjoy pleasant room-filling sound with this white Sonos One (Gen 1) speaker. It lets you control music hands-free when it's used in conjunction with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant built-in, and the midrange woofer and tweeter deliver deep bass and clear high-frequency vocals. This Sonos One speaker connects to your home Wi-Fi network for uninterrupted wireless streaming.

Great addition to the Sonos Line-up; One Negative
on December 16, 2017
Posted by: thetoddshow

Verified Purchase:Yes
Long-time Sonos owner, here. Love the system, I currently have Playbar, Sub, and two Play:1 units making up my surround sound system. This seemed to be a great opportunity to have an Alexa powered device that I could pair with a Play:1 in my bedroom. Here's my review (please note, I returned this item and no longer own it):
The Good:
Great Sonos easy set-up.
Alexa was rock solid and could hear me, even with music playing.
Alexa skills controlled some pretty obscure devices.
These speakers may look better than the original gear.
Great sound with just one speaker.
Good bass, as I have come to expect from the Play:1.

The not so good:
Customer service was NONEXISTENT! You are constantly pointed to the "community" but the community was ranting about the same thing I was mad about.
You can't pair Sonos One with a Sonos Play:1 (WHY would I want two $170 Alexa powered speakers in one room?).
Sonos updates tend to wreck your whole system, requiring the components to be added again to the app controller.

Once again, I returned this unit. It was a great speaker, but I see no reason to have two Alexa powered speakers in the same room. Best Buy service was fantastic!

Filling my house with Sonos
on December 11, 2017
Posted by: thetoddshow
from Atlanta, GA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I already own a complete Sonos surround sound set-up in my living room, but I was missing the sound quality in my other rooms, so I bought two of these to get wireless stereo sound in my bedroom.
I read the online reviews, and what Consumer Reports had to say (they rate Sonos as currently NUMBER ONE and RECOMMENDED), and when the holiday discount prices started coming up, I knew I couldn't wait any longer.
Pros:
App control
Music service selection
Sound quality
Ease of making a stereo pair
great bass sound, without a sub
Auto room sound tuning
Turn the power lights off for better nights sleep

Needs Improvement:
No AirPlay capability
Can't air Sonos One with Sonos Play:1 (WTF)
No direct input, so only what you can control in the app can be played

Finally, Wonder Woman is in a DC movie!

The movie was great, this BluRay disc set is not a great buy, here is why:
The good:
Extra footage
BluRay quality
Digital copy of the extended cut of the film

Excellent Bond Installment
on July 14, 2016
Posted by: thetoddshow
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie was a fantastic (possibly) final installment for Daniel Craig. I was thrilled by the drama and they addition of some minor cheeky car effects like fire and machine guns, was subtle enough to avoid being cheesy, but definitely satisfied my old school bond nerd.
Naturally, I love that I now have the BluRay and an HD Digital Copy in my iTunes library. :)

Big things come in little packages
on July 14, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I am a Sonos customer and I already own the Playbar and Sub. These little guys have become my surround speakers, and sometimes I group them as their own little player group, which is a function of the Sonos App on my iPad/iPhone/Mac. Here is what I think:
The Good:
>The sound from just the two (paired as a stereo pair using the Sonos app, is remarkable.
>Great lows.
>EASY to use with the Sonos App.
>Easy to group with my existing Sonos components.
>No moving thanks to the weight and the rubber bottom.
>Option to turn off the LED for a more energy efficient experience.
>Even when used without the Playbar but with the Sub, these guys make a significantly nice sound.

Could be better:
>Sonos devices do lose their grouping sometimes and you have to reprogram the whole system, which takes about 15-20 minutes.
>No direct input for playing from another system, which means you have to play via their app, and sometimes their app and iTunes don't cooperate.

I would absolutely buy these speakers again, and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone shopping for consumer sound gear.

I use a fan for white noise and some added room cooling at night. I've had a plain fan for a while, I saw this on the shelf at my local Best Buy and decided I needed to replace the boring plastic fan.
Pros:
Heavy, metal body
Metal grill
Metal blades
Oscillation and speed options
Cord appears durable
Has a retro look
I like the weight of the fan base
No squeaks, plastic clicking together

It's louder than I expected (masks ALL noise, though I'm not sure it's technically "white noise" anymore)

I have zero regrets and I have absolutely recommended that friends buy one. The metal looks very good, and there are color choices (though I prefer the stainless steel).

Worked 2 days, then...

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this monitor because I like LG and I wanted to try the blue light reducing features. The monitor took a bit to configure to my MacBook Pro, but that may have been user error. I didn't like the look of the blue light reduction, whatsoever, so I never used it. As of the third day, a pixel in the middle of the screen has stopped responding, so I will be returning this monitor.
Pros:
VESA mount
Great color and detail
Good size for small, standing desk when paired with my MacBook Pro
Power button/menu button combined and out-of-site

These Apple-designed cases are made from premium leather for a luxurious feel. Because they're precision crafted for iPhone 6, the case fits snugly and your phone still feels incredibly slim even with the case on. The soft microfiber lining on the inside helps protect your iPhone. And on the outside, you see color that's more than surface deep, thanks to a dye that's infused into the leather. Choose from five complementary colors.(This case is made from natural aniline leather. Its appearance will change as you use it.)

Didn't think I needed it...

Verified Purchase:Yes
I seriously didn't think that I needed the official Apple phone cover. I absolutely splurged on the smart cover for my iPad Air 2, but the price always seemed to high for my iPhone, until I dropped my iPhone and shattered the screen and the case I purchased online. I figured I'd give this a try, and see if it was a better fit, and here's what I think:
The Good:
-Fit is flawless
-Leather material and color is very nice
-Leather matches my iPad Air 2 cover :)
-All ports and buttons are easily accessible
-Slightly raised edges provide SOME screen protection
-There is room to add a screen protector, if I so choose
