This case includes a wrist strap, and is cheaper than the Apple Remote Loop by itself. Unlike the wrist strap on this case, the Apple Remote Loop attaches to the Lightning Connector on the bottom of the remote, meaning you need to remove it whenever you need to charge the remote. The wrist strap on the case is removable if you don't want to use it. The remote fits the case snugly, and there are cutouts for the Lightning Connector, the IR Sensor, and Both Microphones. The case doesn't hinder use of the remote in any way, and there is no need to remove the case for any function. The ridges on the back also make the remote easier to grip than the flat, smooth back of the remote itself. Overall, I would definitely recommend this case for anyone with the new Apple TV

I purchased this TV for the bedroom in my new apartment since I wasn't able to take the TV from the place I was moving from. My previous TV was also an Insignia, however it was an LCD TV from a few years ago. This time I decided to go with the Insignia LED TV. I must say that the picture is a very big improvement over the previous LCD that I had. Also since this is full HD 1080p, it is a very beautiful picture. The downside though is that the speakers on this TV sound horrible compared to my last TV. I generally do not get soundbars or external speakers for TVs that are in the bedrooms, and up until now I really didn't need anything. However after only a few minutes of watching TV on this one, I grabbed an old computer speaker that I had and plugged it in, and now it is much better. The only other complaint I have is that there are only 2 HDMI inputs on this TV. I have a Cable Box, an Apple TV, and a PS4 that all use HDMI, and with this TV I can only have 2 out of 3 plugged in. This however was an easy fix with a selector switch. In the end, this is not a bad TV for the price. Despite Insignia being the Best Buy store brand, they actually make very good TVs, and other products in general. The picture on this TV is amazing, that is the best thing about it. It's cheap, it's got a good picture, and it's the perfect size for a bedroom, dorm room, etc. I would recommend getting some kind of external speaker to plug in to this TV for the sound. The TV has a standard 3.5mm audio out jack, so you do not need to spend a lot of money on something like a soundbar. A simple computer or any other portable speaker will work. The speaker I have is powered via USB, and since this TV has a USB port on the back, it is self contained. I would also recommend getting a selector switch if you need more than the standard 2 HDMI inputs.

PERFECT Match to the Space Gray Apple Watch.
on October 30, 2015
Posted by: mavericmechanik
I usually use the Lunatik Epik Aluminum Case for when I am at work, however on my days off I prefer to take that off and use the Apple Watch by itself. I have always been a fan of Link Bands for watches, and I had previously gotten one for my Pebble Steel. For the Apple Watch, the only Link Band available from Apple was the Space Black watch with the Space Black band, which cost a lot more money than I wanted to spend. I did like that one though because the band matched the watch. The only other metal band from Apple was the Milanese Loop, which not only wasnt a true link band, but also did not match the Space Gray Sport Model at all, not to mention it was super expensive. Then the other night at Best Buy I saw this band, and I couldn't tell in the packaging if the color was going to match up well, or if it would be able to be sized enough for me, but I decided to take a chance on it, and I am glad that I did. First off, the color of the band inserts (the part that slides into the Apple Watch grooves) matches PERFECTLY to the Space Gray color on the Space Gray Sport Model, and the band color looks awesome with the Space Gray watch. Also I was able to size the band for a perfect fit on my wrist. I have always had very small wrists, even with large upper arms from lifting. This is frequeuntly a problem with link bands since many of them are not able to be sized down enough to fit me. This was a problem with the Pebble Steel band, that even though I had taken out all the links I could, (which were only 4, 2 on each side) it was still a loose fit. This band was able to fit my wrist perfectly by taking out all the extra bands, and it still looks very nice even with the extra links missing. I also picked up the Modal Bumper for the Apple Watch in Space Gray, SKU 4579403, and the color on that matches the watch color perfectly as well. It matches so well that unless you looking at the watch from a couple feet away, you can't tell that there is a case on it. If you own the Space Gray Apple Watch and want a great link band that will look good on your watch, then definitely buy this. Also if you want a case that will match the color of the watch and band, then pick up the Modal Space Gray Apple Watch Bumper.

Metal Version of the Best Rugged Apple Watch Case
on October 30, 2015
Posted by: mavericmechanik
I work in the local Best Buy Warehouse, which like any warehouse is a demanding environment, and something on your wrist like Apple Watch can very easily get broken if not protected. I previously had the Polycarbonate version of this case, SKU: 7487161, that I had bought at my local Best Buy Store. I had the polycarbonate case for a couple months, and it got very banged up and eventually broke. This doesn't mean that it was a bad case, you buy a case to take the beating for your device, and the case did it's job and lasted a couple months on the wrist of someone who is hard on their electronics working in a demanding job where things like a watch can easily get broken. All it takes it hitting it on the side of the truck trailer accidentally and it's over. This time I opted for the Aluminum Version because I know it will hold up better than the polycarbonate. While the polycarbonate is good, it is still plastic and eventually it will break after taking hits over and over again. Both cases look almost identical, however there are some differences between the 2 versions. For someone like me that is very detail oriented, I see these things and for me they matter, and since they may matter for someone else reading this I am willing to list them. First off is kind of obvious, the metal version weighs more than the plastic, but not so much that it's too heavy to wear. Also the parts on the band are made from the same material as the watch, such as the buckle and the strap keeper post. On the plastic version they are plastic, and on the metal version they are metal. The aluminum version is also shiner than the plastic version, and it also has a little bit more padding on the inside around the watch than the plastic version does. The digital crown button is different. On the plastic version it is a single piece, when you push in the digital crown, the whole piece moves. On the aluminum version it is seperate, so when you push in the digital crown button, the outer piece with the grips on it stays put and only the center moves. The screws on the metal version are black as opposed to the screws on the plastic version. Other than that they are both great cases, and are a must have for anyone that works in a rugged envrionment or simply wants the best rugged protection for thier Apple Watch. I personally think that the price difference for the Aluminum version is worth it, especially for me and others like me that know that their Apple Watches will take hits thorughout the day at work, and know that the plastic version may not hold up. For many others, the plastic version is good enough and is all they need. Many others choose not to wear their Apple Watches in any environment that it can get damaged. The way I see it, if you paid a minimum of $400 for an Apple Watch, you should wear it, and you should spend the additional $60 or $130 to protect it.

Keep essential electronics powered with these Eco Cell USB Cell CA-9910PK4-S AA batteries, which offer a convenient USB-rechargeable design. The low-drain batteries offer minimal self discharge and overload protection to ensure a reliable charge.
Posted by: mavericmechanik
This item was just released for sale yesterday, and I was the first one in my store to purchase them. I purchased 2 packs of the AA and 1 pack of AAA. I have been using the Apple Rechargable Batteries for a while, but like all rechargable battereries they eventually ran out. I purchased these because I like the fact that I can charge them off of a USB Port instead of a dedicated battery charger. When I would have to charge my Apple Rechargable batteries, I could only charge 2 at a time, so I would have to change them out constantly once done charging. With these I can simply plug all 4 batteries into my 4 port USB hub, and then plug them into my USB power adapter, therefore allowing me to charge all of them at once. I use rechargable batteries in my Maglite, My Apple Bluetooth Keyboard, and the Peel Pronto Smart remote. I have put these new batteries in all of these devices this morning after charging them, and all of them are working perfectly. The Maglite is just as bright as it was with any other batteries I have used in it. The Peel Pronto uses 4 batteries, so being able to charge all 4 at the same time instead of just 2 at a time is very convenient. The USB charging also allows me to charge the batteries on the go if I need to. If I am out somewhere and my Maglite batteries die, I can plug them into the closest USB port to charge them instead of having to wait until I get back to my dedicated battery charger. The only downside I can see right now is that the actually battery cells are smaller than a standard AA or AAA because of the room needed for the USB port, and the top of the battery is just the USB cap, where a standard AA or AAA battery has cells from the top to the bottom. Since the battery cells are smaller, naturally these will have less battery life than standard batteries, however for me the convenience of charging is worth the smaller battery itself.

Transfer photos, music and more or recharge your equipped cell phone or portable device with this Platinum PT-PARISA2 micro USB cable that features an LED light at the cable end for a stylish touch. The 4' length provides flexible placement options.
Posted by: mavericmechanik
I got this to use in my car since my car radio has a USB port on it where I can plug in my phone and listen to the music on my phone or apps like Pandora. I have an iPhone, however I just got the mophie case for it which uses MicroUSB instead of Lightning. Unlike lightning which can be plugged in either direction, MicroUSB can only be plugged in one direction. Since I work at night, it is always dark out when I drive, and it is difficult to plug my phone into my car radio in the dark. Not only would I have trouble finding the end of the cord, but since I can't see I would sometimes end up trying to plug the MicroUSB in upside down. This cable is perfect because the light on the tip is always on as long as power is running through the cable. Since I started using this cable, I am able to find the tip of the cable instantly, and I can easily see the tip of the cable so I don't make the mistake of trying to plug it in upside down. Also in a dark car, the light is bright enough to illuminate a small area in case I drop something, but it is not too bright that it becomes overpowering or that I don't want to drive with it on. The cable also seems like it will be durable enough for me to fold up and put in my cars center console over and over again during the times that I remove my radios faceplate. I am planning to buy another one to use at home for the same reasons.

I am a Best Buy Store Employee, and since I work in the back room most of my job involves having to keep track of SKU numbers, model numbers, counts, prices, etc. Before getting this I would have to write down the numbers I need on a piece of scrap paper or a post it, anything I could find, only to throw it away 10 minutes later when I was finished with it. When I first saw this item come into our store I knew right away it would be something that I would find very useful, and it has been very useful since then. I literally use this constantly over the course of my shift, and even at home. I can write down what I need to remember, and it will save for as long as I need it. When I am done, one press of the button erases my note for me to write something again. Not only is this a lot more convenient than writing things on scrap paper, but it is also a lot more environmentally friendly. Instead of me writing things down on paper all day and constantly throwing paper away, I jot my note one this, and I don't use or throw away any paper at all. I would definitely recommend this to anyone. It is perfect for short notes or lists. It does not require any power to write a note or to save a note, the only power used is when the button is pressed to erase the note. The unit has an internal battery that does not need recharging, and the battery will last for at least 50,000 refreshes before it goes bad. You can also use the sylus as a kickstand by putting it through the hole on the side.
