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.

Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball Mouse: Easily use your computer for long periods of time with this trackball mouse, which allows you to precisely navigate features with minimal wrist movement. Enjoy lasting comfort thanks to the sculpted shape, which supports the curves of your hand.
 

is there a way to remove skin cells from ball contacts

Use a pen to pop the ball out of the socket from underneath the mouse then use a q-tip on the now exposed contacts. Should only take a few seconds. I do it about once a week myself.

One click of the wheel moves the matter about 10 lines. I am sure there most be a way to slow tis process down. How do I do it?

Are you using the Logitech mouse manager driver software? It has all kinds of customizations one of which is the number of lines to scroll.

Surround yourself with rich audio with this VIZIO SB3851-C0M 38" 5.1 soundbar system, which is an ideal complement for most 42"+ Class TVs. Rear satellite speakers and a wireless subwoofer help create 5.1-channel surround sound to immerse you in the action.
 

Can I hook my iPod directly to the Soundbar system, or will it require hooking my iPod to a separate receiver or amplifier before the Soundbar to play my music?

The soundbar can be put into pairing mode and it will show up on any device as a bluetooth device. I have my iPhone connected to it and as long as it's connected, all I have to do is hit play. Magic!

Subwofer placement? Can the subwofer be placed below the TV on the floor facing forward? OR must it be further back alongside or behind the seating area facing the TV? Thank You in advance..!

Subs are omni-directional so they can be placed anywhere. I've found they're best either in the corner or next to the couch.

i have a vizio 55" e series hdtv. i am trying out an LG soundbar with wireless subwoofer. it's ok, but i get no visual feedback from the tv. the vizio soundbar, will i get visual feedback on the tv about the volume? or is there feedback on the remote?

There are little white LEDS on the left side of the soundbar that let you know how loud it is. I have a Vizio TV and it doesn't show on the TV itself (so no numerical indication) but the LEDs are very bright and easy to see. The remote only shows Vol +/-. But, I use my Apple TV and TV remote to control the sound 99% of the time. Hope that helps!

Does this soundbar connect directly to the tv? What I mean is, can it hang from the tv itself(any Vizio model[newer of course]) without any additional hardware, or do you have to set it on a table/stand?

I have a Vizio TV too. To get it to hang from the TV you need a soundbar mounting kit (I got the Rocktfiesh kit - $35 I think).

Wall plug. It's bluetooth wireless, but not battery-powered.

It is NOT a 4K disc player. It only converts and upstreams to 4K.
