Great, but...

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had this case for other phones and like that they are now tone on tone with the grippy stuff. I never worry about dropping the phone. However, I've had the case for less than two weeks and the corner edges on top are already fraying away. The only stress I've put on it is going in and out of my pocket and this is too much wear too quickly. Not the quality I expect. I am returning it for a different model

Ink Jet no more!
on May 14, 2017
Posted by: DaveKay
Verified Purchase:Yes
Love this printer. All printed pages are sharp, crisp and clean. Toner doesn't dry out so I can go for long periods without printing and worrying about clogged nozzles when I eventually do. Linked to my wireless network in about a minute. Mac AirPrint works slick, as does printing from my windows machine. Never going back to inkjet ever again.

After buying may of these over the years I am a firm believer in getting the XL cartridges. Spend a little more now and save a bunch later.

MacBook Air Must-Have
on May 14, 2017
Posted by: DaveKay
Verified Purchase:Yes
even though I can for the most part use the MacBook without any peripherals, this one is great to have for those occasions when I need it. I create a lot of photo discs and some music mixes for my mom - the USB 3 connection is ridiculously fast along with the burner. Full disc burned in less than three minutes.

The NewAir 126 Can Beverage Fridge is our best seller for a reason: adjustable shelves let you create customized storage for different sized cans and bottles, and the roomy design stores over 20 full six-packs to keep you fully stocked. Top it off with an attractive stainless-steel design, and this fridge is sure to please.

It keeps things cool and it looks cool. Great capacity for many different beverage container types, and excellent performance. Love the glass door so you can see what's in it before opening the door.

Slick - just plugged it in and within a few seconds Windows had recognized it and installed the drivers. I had my headphones connected less than 30 seconds later.
Great solution for my older laptop that didn't have BT capability.

Great sound and range
on February 13, 2017
Posted by: DaveKay
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've had a number of Bluetooth headsets over the years and I can honestly say this is the one that I'm most satisfied with. The Bluetooth connection has an amazing range. I leave my phone upstairs and I can walk all over the main floor of the house with no issue. The sound quality is great - top volume is REALLY. LOUD. No one I've been speaking with has ever indicated they had trouble hearing me - amazing mic for such a tiny unit. Battery life says 6 hours, but I've had a couple 7-8 hour marathon call days and it held out for me. I like it because it's small and unobtrusive. As with any over-the-ear hook it does get a little painful behind my ear if I leave it on all day long, so I simply take it off when I don't think I'll need it. Putting it back on only takes a second anyway. The hook is reversible, so it can be used on either ear. Highly recommend it.

Not as feature-rich, but gets the job done
on January 3, 2017
Posted by: DaveKay
Verified Purchase:Yes
I thought this was a great buy for $20. Easy to program. Large buttons. lighted keys. The only issue is that you may want to make sure don't necessarily stop with the first code that works. It may work for the component you are trying to match and have it interfere with another component. For example, the sound bar volume also sends a "program info" request to our apple tv so every time we used to turn the volume up or down, we'd get that annoying drop down on the screen. With a different code - no more problem.

will this remote work with a vizio blu ray player?

Yes. A list of components and their codes is in the box. Otherwise, that information is available on the RCA support site.

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).

What powers the Subwoofer? Does it plug into the wall, or does it have to be charged?

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

Does this unit play 4 k DVDs or does it just stream 4K ?

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