Not a bad product, but not for me

Verified Purchase:Yes
I got one for my wife and she loves hers. My hands and fingers are too big for this to be comfortable. I wasn’t able to find a position on the back of my phone that really worked for me. The upside is that I know it can be moved again and again without any problem.

Great for smaller hands

Got it for my wife and she loves it. Give her a solid holding point so she can hold her 6S Plus without worrying about dropping it. Nice design on the back is surprisingly scratch resistant. SHe can make a mess out of the screen protector, but not a mark not on the pop socket.

Flies well. Controls are awkward.

I really like it. holds position well. fun to fly. But, flight control is on my phone and not a lot of fun for me. I'm getting the fly pad so I can use sticks. little more cost, but worth it if I want to fly it more regularly.

Great sound, meh battery life
on August 4, 2017
Posted by: DaveKay
Verified Purchase:Yes
The sound out of these is superb. Linking them to my i devices is ridiculously fast and easy. Apple's ear pods don't fit my ears perfectly, but they didn't fall out no matter what I did. However, not wanting to risk it, I bought the silicone ear wing deelios and now they fit perfectly and I don't worry about it. The only downside is that I have to take them off to charge the pods. However taking them off and putting them on only takes a couple seconds. The tap function works - but you get to decide whether it triggers Siri commands or plays/pauses music. Siri is the default and you can ask her to play or pause.. but volume control only works using the device they're connected to. Battery life is also meh. I get 4 or so hours out of calls and music. Five minutes in the case will get two more hours. I can extend that to all day without charging by only using one pod at a time if I'm only on calls. Call quality is great and the microphone works very well. No on can tell I'm using a wireless earphones. Way more positives than negatives - id still recommend them.

Amazing improvement over the original
on August 4, 2017
Posted by: DaveKay
Verified Purchase:Yes
I own an original so this was an upgrade for me. The series two is better than I anticipated. Battery will last two days even with calendar alarms and phone calls and the like. Running with it it is even better because of the gps chip onboard. I leave the phone at home. Waterproof so I never worry swimming or getting in the shower. Love it!

Great Mobile Payment Solution
on June 23, 2017
Posted by: DaveKay
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a mobile payment device fro my business. The wireless chip reader module is great, especially when my phone is connected to a wireless network. The package includes the stripe reader too, so it was a much better deal than just the stripe reader alone.
The traditional Square stripe reader is zippy fast, regardless. It's a trade off between speed of transaction and transaction security. It was easy to set up and worked perfectly after the wireless module was fully charged.
Highly recommend it.

Quality Wallet Case - Brown, Not Saddle
on June 16, 2017
Posted by: DaveKay
Verified Purchase:Yes
First, the color out of the box is actually a medium brown, not the lighter saddle color on the box. Perfect for me, maight be disappointing to someone expecting light brown.
I've had it for two weeks and the aging process is working - the leather is high quality. I used a little leather conditioner on it and that did darken the leather a little, but that is a look I want.
Holds three cards securely. I am not willing to put any more than that in there. The money pocket behind the cards will keep a couple buisness cards plus an additional card. I rarely carry cash though I could without any problem. There are no magnets on the cover. But I haven't found the loose cover to be an issue with the number of cards I carry.
It took me about a half a minute to adjust to taking pictures with the flap open - again not a big deal to me. Someone else wrote in a review that it actually helped stabilize the camera a bit and I've found that to be true for me too.
From a protection standpoint, it fits snugly in the hard plastic saddle. The case itself may absorb some punishment, but it isn't in the same class as the OtterBox, Speck, and others with drop ratings. However, the leather is quality and tough. I've dropped it from about 3ft onto a hardwood floor and there was no visible damage to the case or phone.
Overall, I feel it's a very quality product that will protect my phone while the look keeps developing more and more character

Very good bluetooth mouse
on June 13, 2017
Posted by: DaveKay
Verified Purchase:Yes
I needed a Bluetooth mouse to use with my MacBook. The trackpad is good, but not helpful when moving large chunks of text, etc. The mouse is perfect for that. Connects immediately, holds indefinitely. The only knock I give it is the scroll wheel is smooth but would be better if it were weighted like the MX mouse. But, that's really a personal preference. Also works with my PC - so, yes it pulls double-duty with no problem (as long as I'm only using one at a time). I highly recommend it.

Lenovo 320-15ABR Laptop: Stay on top of work with this Lenovo IdeaPad notebook. Its AMD processor and 8GB of DDR RAM provide powerful multitasking features, and its AMD Radeon graphics card creates crisp, clear images on the 15.6-inch screen. This Lenovo IdeaPad notebook includes a 1TB hard drive to store photographs and documents.
 

If I want to upgrade to a Solid State Drive, what form factor do I need? 1.8" or 2.5 inch? SATA III? Thickness?

2.5 inch SATA III. I replaced mine with a SanDisk 240GB SSD and it absolutely flys. There is a very good video or two on YouTube showing how to swap out the hard drive. Good luck!

Can we hook up a desktop monitor to the laptop to use as an extra screen?

You can via a HDMI connection. Without a dedicated video card I may be hard pressed to drive them both well. This level of laptop would be fine driving to only the extended screen, but isn’t really made to drive two screens simultaneously.

Will this hard drive be compatible with my HP G42-415DX Notebook PC??

Google the specs on your notebook's model number. If the internal drive is a SATA drive, then, yes it is.

Back up important data with this WD My Passport portable hard drive. It provides ample space for movies, photographs and music, and the compact design fits easily into a backpack or purse. This 3TB WD My Passport portable hard drive is preformatted for Mac, so it's easy to install and use.
 

This work with smart tv's for run videos or photos?

if your smart TV has a USB port, then it most likely can. There is usually software in the TV's settings for viewing media from an external source like an external drive connected by USB.

Will the Logitech M535 Bluetooth Mouse pair with an iPhone 7plus?

I have a 7 Plus and a MacBook. No. iPhones and iPads were not designed to work with an external mouse. Because of the touch screen, a mouse isn't particularly practical with tablets and smartphones. iOS game platforms aren't designed for them either.

Motorola Boom Bluetooth Headset: Work, play, answer calls and listen to music with a headset that is compatible with nearly all Bluetooth-enabled devices. Wander up to 300' away from your devices without losing a moment of stunning sound clarity. With 3 ways to wear it, you can customize the comfort and style of this headset for your specific needs.
 

Can I use this ear piece to sync with my Mac. I Listen and talk to students while I am teaching English. I am looking for a less cumbersome wireless headset with mic to use while teaching. Now I am using the Apple earbuds connected to my PC.

Your question made me curious as I'd never thought of doing that. I was able to connect it to both my windows machine and my MacBook. It served very well as both an earpiece and microphone for both laptops. Hope that helps!
