Safeguard your Apple iPad mini, iPad mini 2 or iPad mini 3 with this ZAGG IM2RGK-BBB folio case, which features polycarbonate and silicone materials for reliable protection. The Bluetooth keyboard's backlit keys make it easy to type in the dark.

I've had a few different cases for iPads over the years. Notably the Belkin Ultimate Keyboard/case along with several cheaper keyboards and cases. Thus far, the Zagg Rugged Folio Keyboard Case does it the best.
First off, the case feels very well made. Yes, it does add bulk, but it is well made bulk. The case doesn't creak or squeek. The hinges feel solid. The rubber coating is tight to the poly frame. It feels like something that will hold up through several years of normal use.
The backlighting of the keys is a really nice feature for night owls like myself. The multi color lighting is a bonus along with multiple levels of brightness.
The keyboard itself is solid and does not bend or flex while typing. The bulk of the keys are of almost normal size. The "others", being quotes, brackets, caps, etc, are MUCH smaller than normal, and can make for being difficult to reach. Thankfully its not so bad as to slow you down too much since they are not used quite as often... usually. Some other keys were merged together and require the use of the FN key. This also takes some getting used to, however, considering the size Zagg did a good job of making the tradeoffs work.
I cannot comment too much on the battery life. I have had the case for a month now and only use the backlighting when it is dark. Otherwise I have a few hours of usage per day on the keyboard and I have not charged it yet.
The cover also performs the sleep/wake function on the iPad when you open the cover like a book.
And, being that you can remove the iPad from the keyboard (and flip the combo around) is one of the few in the market that can handle that trick. The magnetic hinge works wonders for this task. Secure enough to hold the iPad in place, but not so secure that it is a pain to remove.
So far I have really been enjoying this case by Zagg, and previous customer service experiences with them will keep me returning as a customer for future needs.
Give this case a go if you need a rugged case for your iPad. You won't be disappointed.

My home is mostly hard surfaces, so I can't speak to how well the Roomba would handle carpet. I can say that it'll go over any rug I have in the house, so that is a plus.
Overall I'm very happy with the 650. because of the configuration of my house, I cannot exactly just set and forget the Roomba by running it on the schedule. It does tend to wander away from the home base and die somewhere else in the house. I haven't tried moving the home base yet, but I suspect I would have better results in other parts of the house.
Where the 650 really shines is when you lock it in a specific room and let it work it's magic. Usually a few times a week, I'll lock it in the different bedrooms. It does a great job when its confined to a smaller place. If you just let it roam throughout the house, it'll get a good bit, but not quite 100%.
This particular model came with the invisible fence which is handy for confining it to rooms without doors (hall way). You could also just put something it its way that is to heavy for it to move.
I never knew how dusty my floors were until I got this thing. I do have a dog and a ragdoll cat that sheds a fur coat's worth of hair on a regular basis. The Roomba manages to come back with a halfway full bin every time. The first few times the bin was packed full as it managed under the beds and behind the couch.
I gotta say, this has been one of my better tech purchases since I can put this one to work! Now, if they'd only come up with one that can do the laundry....

This vehicle mount securely holds your mobile phone, so you can have a clear view of your device while you drive. Window or vent mounting options offer flexible placement, and the plastic construction provides a durable design.

I'll admit this thing looked pretty weird when I first looked at it. It seemed pretty bulky. Its actually not all that bad. Its big enough to hang on to my Droid RAZR without any issues. It has not dropped it even with other cables plugged into it.
I am currently using the air-vent mounts that came with the package. The suction cup mount is great, but my windshield is a bit deep, and it does not have the length I would like to bring it closer to me. So I oped to use the vent mount. Doesn't block the vents on my Frontier as long as I put it on the bottom. The vent mount gives a good bit of adjustment. Enough to get a good viewing angle.
I've had this mount for a couple of months now. My girlfriend has one also. It seems like they will hold up to regular use and provide a few years of good service. Much better than throwing my phone in the cup holder or letting it slide around in the change tray.
What's great about it: Cheap, easy, works, great suction mount
What's not so great: Limited reach

Plugged it in and it worked. Didn't have to go hunting for drivers or configure anything. Just plug and play like it should. Quality seems to be good, doesn't seem like it'll fall apart anytime soon. I use it for the odd ball situation when I'm somewhere that isn't with the 21st century and doesn't have Wi-Fi broadcasting.
One thing I can complain about is that it does not have link lights. Not a huge deal, but helpful for troubleshooting if you're having issues getting connected to a network. It would at least tell you if you're hooked into a live jack, but maybe a server isn't giving you an address on the network.
It is a bit pricy, but so is everything else Apple. As long as it lasts the life of the laptop, I won't complain too much.
What's great about it: Plug and play
What's not so great: Price, no link indicators

This Belkin Bifold folio case features durable construction and a soft interior lining to guard your Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 against dust and scratches. The case converts to a stand for easy viewing or typing.

Over all this case is great. It is easy to put on the Tab and take it off to clean. The only issue I really have with it is that the cover tends to hand on to oils that are left on the screen. So even after you clean the screen closing the case can smudge the screen again. Nothing keeping a little cleaning cloth can't take care of.
Also, the case has a nice style. Make the Tab look like a small book.
What's great about it: Protects tablet, easy to put on/take off,
What's not so great: Fuzz

This tablet has been great so far. I purchased one of these to replace my iPad 1st Gen which was getting some age to it. I was in the market for something that was more portable, but could still handle a lot of the tasks that I use tablets for. I've had the Tab for a little over the month and use it daily.
I'm an Network Administrator and use this tablet for managing some of my networks and accessing information in the cloud. There are plenty of applications out there to help you get work done. This device is fantastic for taking notes.
You can add a bluetooth keyboard too if you're planning on doing a lot of typing on this device.
This device is for you if you're on the go a lot and need to take notes, or send emails while on the go.
What's great about it: Portable, battery life, available applications
What's not so great: none
