Protection, Flexibility, Slimline
on December 5, 2017
Posted by: TheTruQ
from Birmingham AL
Verified Purchase:Yes
This case is really the full package. It's very slim and form fitting, it looks good, and it offers decent protection. The gel used to make the case is very sturdy, but flexible, easily allowing it to absorb shock if the phone is dropped.
One important feature that is often overlooked, is the lip on the top and bottom of the case, allowing the phone to sit face down without touching the screen to the surface. This provides protection in the event the phone is dropped and lands face down.
Only a couple of things bother me about the case. First, it collects lint and dust pretty easily in the creases near the screen. Next, the opening near the stylus is large, sacrificing protection. The stylus opening seemed to be more a decision of functionality than anything else. Because the stylus is spring loaded, and has to be pulled for removal, the opening needed to be somewhat open for comfortable use. If that corner hits, though, it could take damage easier than any other spot on the phone, with respect to a direct screen hit.
All in all, I like this case, and feel it is a good option for the Note 8.

Add a splash of color to your entertainment system with this Nintendo Joy-Con for Nintendo Switch. Its bright neon red and blue hues add a cheerful touch, and it lets you include another player in your games for competition or cooperation. This Nintendo Joy-Con can be separated into two parts for additional control options.

Of course I like the tech, I chose a Switch...
on July 28, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
But this set of Joy-Cons has not performed as well as those that came with my Switch. They seem to have a more limited range, and the left one (red) doesn't hold on to the tablet like it should. Not sure if these are because the product is faulty or if this is a common occurrence with the red/blue set.

Ink-splatting action is back and fresher than everThe squid kids called Inklings are back to splat more ink and claim more turf in this colorful and chaotic 4-on-4 action shooter. For the first time, take Turf War battles on-the-go with the Nintendo Switch™ system, and use any of the console’s portable play styles for intense local multiplayer* action. Even team up for new 4-player co-op fun in Salmon Run!Expect a fresh wave of fashion, not to mention new weapons and gear. Dual wield the new Splat Dualies or stick to mainstays like chargers and rollers, which have been remixed with new strategic possibilities. As always, Turf War is the favored sport among Inklings, but they also dig ranked battles, taking down Octarians in a robust single-player campaign, and battling enemy Salmonids in one dangerous part-time job! No matter which way you play, splat at home or on-the-go with Nintendo Switch. Staying fresh never felt so good.*Additional games and systems required for multiplayer mode.

Terrific kid friendly FPS

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first foray into the Splatoon universe, and I can say it is welcome. It is a great FPS with terrific controls and a different perspective. I really like the variation from day to day, with revolving arenas and new weapons - a great online experience.
Truly one of the best Switch games out there.

Great all in one entertainment package
on May 18, 2017
Posted by: TheTruQ
Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife needed a TV for her office at her daycare. They had a great deal on this one at Best Buy, so we took the plunge. We were not disappointed!
With Roku serving as the face of the TV experience, this is a great buy. If you've never used Roku, you're missing out. A plethora of "channels" designed to provide streamed content at your request. It is very easy to setup, and offers you the ability to add apps and channels to your television from any where with an internet connection and a browser.
The TV has a very good picture. Be mindful that this is not a high-end set. It has slower motion, but for the price, it shows very well. My experience is that the WiFi components in this set are very strong. Usually, that is one of the first things I like to check in an inexpensive product, but they didn't skimp on those components. My wife's TV is far from the router and still performs fantastically without a hitch.
This is a great set. If you want an entertainment set for streaming, this should be one of your options.

These guys do it again!

Doggone Disney! I tell you! Those guys know they can churn out the animated hit. It's not just what they do graphically (the visuals are amazing), but it's the story, along with great execution.
Moana is no different. It's a great alternative approach to marrying the past and future through our youth - our replacements and future leaders. Great lessons all the way around in this one, and I really love the grandeur of some of the scenes. All I can say is wow! Big moments with big screen-filled interaction.
This is a must add to your Disney collection!

Definitely the best NEW Star Wars film
on May 18, 2017
Posted by: TheTruQ
Verified Purchase:Yes
I must admit, I was pretty stoked when the Star Wars universe came back to life, and I believe that The Force Awakens was a very good restart, but after seeing Rogue One, I feel it is one of their best films of the entire series.
A completely different perspective in the Star Wars world that ends in a tragic triumph rather than the expected positive ending. A spectacular job by the writers, because I feel writing anything for this universe can be your making or your demise.
As always, tremendous Blu-Ray quality, both visually and in audio, with enough extras to keep you busy for quite some time.

Snappy and reliable performance

Excellent performance out of this memory card, but what impresses me more is it's reliability. I have had device crashes and restarts, and this card has endured them all without losing or corrupting a single file. I have run repair and checkup tools on it, and it is a champ in every facet.
Great memory card! Really like SanDisk!

Beautiful, but pricey with durability issues
on May 21, 2016
Posted by: TheTruQ
Verified Purchase:Yes
When buying a case, satisfaction is pretty simple. Is it functional? Does it offer some level of protection? Is it durable? Looks? Cost?
This is a beautiful case. It is very unique and is definitely an eye catcher. It also has a solid look and feel to it when on the phone. It also offers decent everyday and drop protection. The case has a strong lip on the screen side and is sturdy in each corner. Of course, hard drops will damage the case, but the phone should live on. Durability is one of the downfalls. For some reason, the case has stress issues. Twice my wife has experienced a cracked case in one of the corners. This after no drops or knocks! She has exchanged it once, and the new one has now developed a phantom crack in one of the corners. With the high price tag for this item, this is certainly unacceptable!
Price is the determining factor when choosing to buy. If the desire for the look is pulling at you, prepare for some disappointment in other areas.
