Good hub for anyone who doesn't have USB3
on August 5, 2016
Posted by: Rick
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a USB hub when I ran out of open ports on my desktop. This gives me 7 more, but at USB2. I don't have devices rated at USB3 yet, so that's fine ... and for about 1/4th less money.

OK, but still not working to full....

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is supposed to be for any OTG phone, which mine is. However, I've yet to figure out how to move anything from the phone to this stick. I bought it mainly to transfer photos from the phone to my computer. It'll work in the reverse, transferring files from the computer via the stick to the phone. For the price, it'll be a good storage device, but until or unless I get more instructions it doesn't do what I got it for.

Good for the price

As a basic pre-paid mobile user, Virgin Mobile is my preferred provider. This is the third smartphone for them I have bought, and the best so far. My only complaint was with in-store set-up. Why does Best Buy have employees of various providers to sell other providers phones? I thought the salesman had everything done (he said he did), only to come home and find several that weren't. I managed to get them going myself, but that was why I bought at a store rather than on line. Very good phone, excellent camera .... but I'm dissatisfied with the in-store service!

I bought the Chromecast after subscribing to Sling TV, only to find out Chromecast wouldn't allow streaming to my TV. After talking to Sling, I took their offer of a free Roku 2 and returned the Chromecast for a refund.

Easy setup, good range

No problems hooking up and getting running, and sufficient range that I've disabled my Wi-Fi extender. Great value at the sale price ... but I have no idea what regular retail would be.

We live in an age of technology, with endless resources at our fingertips.

Lurking around every corner are malicious online threats that put your computers, mobile devices, information and identity at risk. While you answer e-mail, you're vulnerable to phishing attacks.

No problems getting it hooked up and running, and sufficient range in my apartment that I've disconnected my Wi-Fi extender. On sale, it turns out to be very good for the price. (I don't know what regular retail is.)

I'm basically satisfied - seems to have enough memory for my needs at a price I could afford. My last computer (another Lenovo) had a hard drive crash, so I hope that doesn't happen again.

Good phone ... but ....

While I'm pleased with the performance and operation of the LG Tribute, I wish it came with a user's manual and an on-phone instruction guide. After a month, I'm still learning how (and why) to use some features. Yes, I found the on-line manual - but why do I have to go to the internet every time I have a question?

Enjoy your favorite songs from a CD, AM/FM radio or a Bluetooth-enabled device with this Insignia™ NS-CBBTCD01-B boombox that features a headphone jack for private listening. The 20 station presets ensure you can easily find your favorite stations.
 

(I don's have a CD player in my Transit van.) Is there a car power adapter for this unit? Can I use the Bluetooth feature to play though my Bluetooth enabled radio?

Yes, that's the main reason I bought it.

Will this play an audio file off of a USB thumb drive?

It has a USB jack, and I'm told it will play from a thumb drive but I've never tried it.

Cover your Samsung Galaxy J3 with this ZAGG InvisibleShield screen protector. It protects your smartphone from screen damage caused by some drops and bumps and reduces scratches that occur as the phone is tucked into bags or pockets. This ZAGG InvisibleShield screen protector is hardly noticeable and maintains all touch-screen functionality.
 

One of the reviews says this is hard to put on. Are these screen proctors hard to install?

Yes. My installation attempts were a failure, and I threw the whole thing away.
