Protect your iPhone XR from drops of up to 10 feet with this Speck Presidio Grip case. The inner IMPACTIUM lining absorbs shock, and the polycarbonate exterior deflects shock. This Speck Presidio Grip case has angled rubber ridges that offer a nonslip grip to help prevent the device from sliding off surfaces, and the raised edges help protect the screen when it's facing down.

This case is fantastic! I easily installed it on my iPhone XR in seconds, and it has a very snug fit. The original case I bought for it was a cheap $10 case that just didn't feel like it was providing much protection. I have dropped my phone at least twice since installing it last weekend, and it held up to the reason I wanted it.
The case has a little more grip than the cheaper one that I had, so getting it into and out of my pocket is a tad more difficult, but certainly not a show-stopper. The grip stands out a little but is not intrusive and looks good. There is a raised edge around the front of the screen to protect the screen from scratching or scraping my desk when it is face down.

This laptop looks really good. It was very easy to set up and get to work. The boot time on this thing is absolutely amazing. I love how fast all the applications I normally use load up and let me get started. I installed every update available before I tried anything. Every single app I use outside of gaming works perfectly.
I play a few games, one of which is a very popular game right now. I couldn't get FPS above 14 on any game I tried. I tried every available option to bring that up, but nothing worked. There's this "Gaming" button that's supposed to ramp up the laptop for gaming mode, but as far as I can tell, it just boosts the fans, as they did turn up. Whether I started the game after the button was pushed or before, nothing seemed to make a difference.
I really wanted to love this laptop, but as a "Gaming" laptop, I can't get past the fact that I can't game on it.

Capture video while driving with this Nextbase 422GW dash camera. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity automatically sync footage to your phone for easier editing and sharing, and the 2.5-inch IPS touch screen offers intuitive control with upgraded resolution. This Nextbase 422GW dash camera with Alexa built-in uses a G-sensor and SOS response service, safeguarding your footage upon impact while alerting emergency services for safety and a prompt response.

Installation was similar to any other dashcam I've seen. One part of the installation that is different is that the power cable plugs into the mount, that delivers power to the cable through the magnetic mounting connector on the camera. I really like the fact that I don't have to worry about the cable wear and tear over time.
The footage is easy to access on my phone by connecting over wifi or Bluetooth. With the size of the video files being a little larger, you might want to consider getting a larger SD card. The larger file size is due to the resolution of the video, so it is worth it because the videos look good.
I haven't used the accessories yet, but the expansion options look good.

I had a little difficulty mounting this camera, as the camera is not removable from the base. The few times I dropped it do not seem to have damaged it, though. Setup of the camera was very simple with the SmartSignal App, documented in the instructions, and the clarity of the picture is very nice.
One thing to be sure about is which way you want to point the camera... It does not turn on the mounting base, so there is no moving it around to adjust if not mounted in the correct direction.
The primary reason for the loss of the star is the inability to adjust the camera after it is mounted, but primarily because the app is a little difficult to understand as far as notifications go. I'm guessing it is storing video on some internal memory. I have not figured out a way to integrate the motion detection with any home automation tools.
I would recommend this to anyone who is only looking for a way to record their home or place of business and would just like to look in on the place.

These earbuds work very well and were simple to set up on my phone. The battery life on these things is outstanding compared to all of the wireless earbuds I've used in the past at 6 hours before needing to go back in the case. To be honest, they have not reached that point yet, as the longest I've used them continuously so far is only about 4 hours.
I have two problems with these. The size of the case is larger than I would prefer, however the size of the ear loops is the clear reason for this. The call quality was fine on my end, but my wife says I sound like I'm talking to her through a tunnel. Apparently, the microphones do not work correctly. I can't honestly drop an entire star from the review for these reasons, but I would drop 1 out of 10, so this should be a 4.5-star review.
I don't talk on my phone much when running or working, so call quality does not weigh as heavily for me.
The sound quality of music or audiobooks is near the top of everything I've used. I am amazed by the bass on these, although I do not consider myself an audiophile.

This is not the easiest system in the world to set up, as the speaker wire is not premade, however that lends to the flexibility of setting it up as you need to. As long as you've got some wire strippers, there shouldn't be a problem, as the setup menu that comes up when you plug it in for the first time makes connecting everything very simple. Take your time with this process and you'll have a system that sounds awesome. I also wouldn't do this at night if you have young children, as the sound test might wake them.
Once setup was complete, I watched a bit of a movie with 5.1 Surround Sound and was amazed at the difference between this system and my previous Soundbar. My biggest problem was remembering which source I had plugged into each input. When I was looking at this product online, the description on Best Buy's site said it only had one input, but there are five just like the pictures show.
The AM and FM tuners work great, as does the Bluetooth connection. I was also able to get my universal remote to work with it, although I had to configure the buttons as this receiver was too new to be in the database.
This is by far the best sound experience I've had in my home.

Help save time with Smart Tasks shortcuts, get automatic two-sided printing, and Borderless Print. Print and scan from your phone, Save up to 50% on ink with HP Instant Ink.

This printer was very simple to set up and start using. I used my phone with the HP Smart app, and HP made it very easy to use, as the app found the printer nearly immediately.
Look at the pictures on the ink cartridges, as they will help you with the installation... not as straightforward as the ones I've used in the past, but simple nonetheless.
This makes it very easy to print from any device (PC, tablet, or phone) on my network, and that is a huge benefit.
The touchscreen on the front and the menu provided makes the printer adequately accessible.
I don't like the idea of paying a monthly fee for my ink at home, but if I was running a business, I know that it would work out far cheaper than buying the ink cartridges on my own.

Keep your kids safe online with this Circle Home Plus monitoring setup. The included device uses your router to manage every device on your network, and Circle App makes it simple to limit screen time, filter content, and check browsing histories. This Circle Home Plus monitoring setup is easy to set up and lets you create custom settings for each family member.

This is a feature I've wanted on my home network for quite a while, and I'm happy to have it now. The standard setup is fairly quick and painless, but if you want to have stronger control of your devices you're going to spend a lot more time setting all that up.
The standard setup connects the Circle Home Plus to your network and you can set up profiles for each device, as far as what to filter... these are in groups, so it's not terribly difficult to create a group and then add each device to its respective group from the app.
Tighter reigns on devices require you to install the app on each and while the setup of each is quite simple, it will take some time to collect and go through the process with a multiple device household.
Content blocking appears to work well.
Great product!

Broadcast latency-free live streams using this AVerMedia Live Gamer MINI capture box. The UVC technology can encode, stream and record gaming sessions from the moment this device is plugged into Windows 10 PC. An included Stream Engine lets this AVerMedia Live Gamer MINI capture box record without any extra strain on your CPU.

This is the first time I have ever attempted to stream my gaming. The device is very simple to install, but the instructions for installing the software were a little tricky... just remember you're installing RECentral.
The quality of video brought in through USB was much better than I had thought possible, but that's probably due to my lack of understanding the hardware. It allows you to single stream or dual screen with a camera, and the settings were a breeze to navigate.
I'm really going to enjoy using this.

This little speaker packs quite a punch when it comes to sound quality. I was pleasantly surprised by the volume and clarity of music coming from this thing. The white LEDs make for a nice personal touch to give the speaker a little more appealing.
The wireless party chain feature works well on this device as well, as I have a few compatible speakers and was able to verify that they connect and play with a synchronization I wouldn't have expected.

does it support AT&T Digital life and its Nest devices and thermostats that are attached to the system ?
I did not see AT&T in the potential to link accounts, but I did link my Nest thermostats. The Nest link works very well.
