These Apple-designed cases are made from premium leather for a luxurious feel. Because they're precision crafted for iPhone 6, the case fits snugly and your phone still feels incredibly slim even with the case on. The soft microfiber lining on the inside helps protect your iPhone. And on the outside, you see color that's more than surface deep, thanks to a dye that's infused into the leather. Choose from five complementary colors.(This case is made from natural aniline leather. Its appearance will change as you use it.)

Love love LOVE these cases!

These cases are an absolute must if you want to keep your slim, stylish, chic new phone exactly that!
The feel of the naked iPhone 6 is extremely slippery. These leather cases not only look great and protect your phone, they are perfect for that bit of added grip. They keep the phone ultra-slim.

iPhone 6 isn't just bigger — it's better in every way. Larger yet thinner. More powerful, yet power efficient. It's a new generation of iPhone.

iPhone 6 is a FANTASTIC upgrade to a long line of amazing products!
BIG gorgeous screen, great camera, awesome fingerprint reader!
The only thing is make sure you get a case! The phone is VERY slippery due to size and finish. The Apple leather case is what I have and LOVE it!

Great twist on classic Battlefield.
on March 19, 2015
Posted by: ManBearPig2114
from Pittsburgh, PA
For the record, this is going to be a review on almost SOLELY the multiplayer (online). I mean, who buys Battlefield for the campaign, amiright??
While this is a great twist on classic Battlefield, I would rather it had taken a slightly different direction. The cops and robbers thing is definitely a cool concept, but the ultimate separation of factions is fairly drastic.
The game modes are really great. Hotwire is GREAT fun; especially with a squad or team of friends. The robbery attack/defense modes are fun.
Team Deathmatch is usually what I start my Battlefield experiences with to unlock & level up quick. TDM has a good bit of bugs to work out. The spawning, thus far (2 days after release), is absolutely absurd. 50% of deaths/kills are from someone spawning right in front of you or you spawning in front of them.
The weapons being specific to each faction is SUPER ANNOYING. I understand you eventually get a "license" to use a weapon for either faction, but saving cash to buy something and then not be able to use it 50% of the games is ridic!
I also REALLY miss vehicular combat and engagements. Battlefield 4 mixed it up so well that you could be a fighter pilot, a tank driver, a sniper, a medic, a transport helicopter pilot, etc... Hardline, is well, it has an attack helicopter. Everything else is just a truck with a mounted gun.
Overall, I think it will grow on me. It is a drastic change from warfare to cops and robbers, but it keeps enough of classic BF to receive 4 stars from me.

Courage and honor. The protection of the weak. Nobility and honesty. Skill in combat. Leadership. When you think of knights, there are a few qualities that come to mind. No matter who you ask, from nearly any time in the last handful of centuries, you'll get the same answers every time — because to earn the title of a knight, you must possess the nature of a hero. Would the same hold true in an alternate universe? Will the meaning of a knight always be upheld?See if you possess the qualities of a true knight and join The Order, an elite community of knights that has been engaged in a centuries-old war — a war that will determine the course of history forever. Even in this unique version of Victorian-era London, the knights fight on the side of good, attempting to protect man from a powerful and ancient foe. So harness the technologically advanced weaponry, gather your courage and fight for honor — it's your duty.

Worth a play, but maybe not at full price.
on February 25, 2015

Well, The Order: 1886 is another example of all hype, not much execution. In my opinion, this game was created to start opening up doors for hardware performance on the graphics and frame rate aspects.
This game is absolutely STUNNING visually. These are HANDS DOWN the BEST graphics in any game released on any platform. The visuals are so incredible, I found myself taking screenshots which I never do almost. The blend between cut scene and gameplay are almost indistinguishable in some cases.
With that said, obviously we play games to "play". If you were expecting non-linear levels from a 3rd person shooter, you probably should refrain from voicing an opinion. 3rd person shooting titles are linear, to-the-point, and generally less in-depth than any other genre of games.
I will say, the action in the game is really incredibly fun at some points. The werewolf in the basement that was teased pre-release was every bit as fun and cool as it looked before the game dropped. The fights that take place are good, but sometime repetitive. Often, you will be perched somewhere and mow down wave after wave of baddies as they scurry out the same 2 entrances.
The stealth parts of the game are pretty bad. Incredibly forced and detracting. The stealth attack "timing" is a bad idea. It is cumbersome and not a welcome update to something that has worked in the past. If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Overall, I had really high hopes for this game. After reading initial reviews, it somewhat softened the blow that The Order wasn't going to be "the next big title". If you go in with an open attitude that the game is going to be short and there are long un-skippable cut scenes, then you should enjoy this as an overall play. If you have a weekend of down time, it is perfect. Average play time is 6-10 hours.

Who would have thought there'd ever come a time when desperately searching the environment for what little resources you can find to survive was your idea of relaxing? While the daylight hours may be filled with scavenging for supplies and weapons, the fact that the sun shines in the sky eases your anxiety, because you know what happens the moment it dips beyond the horizon. With the dying light comes a host of horrors that turn the hunter into the hunted. Hoards of infected become aggressive and increase in numbers, searching for you as you searched for weapons to kill them just hours before. But the infected aren't even the most frightening threat. There's something else out there that lurks in the darkness, a more sinister predator that stalks its prey. You are that prey.Set in a vast and dangerous open world, Dying Light drops you in the middle of a waking nightmare in a first-person survival horror experience that will have your heart pounding and adrenaline pumping the second night falls. During the day, you're free to roam the expansive urban environment to scavenge for supplies and craft the weapons you need to defend yourself against the victims of a vicious outbreak. A variety of melee weapons, including knives, bats, axes, sledgehammers and more, are at your disposal, as well as guns and other firepower. The sizeable crafting system enables you to create a slew of more powerful, more potent weapons and equipment with specialized ammunition. You'll need every weapon you can lay your hands on to survive the night — when the infected roam free and the night-loving predators begin their hunt. Whether you're tracking prey or evading predators, you can seamlessly leap between buildings, grapple up walls and pounce on enemies with free running movement. With breathtaking visuals and immersive gameplay, powered by Chrome Engine 6, you'll begin to fear the night right along with your character. But your only chance is to face the dying light and use every ounce of wit, skill and courage you have to survive until morning comes.

Worth a play. Nothing new. GREAT soundtrack!
on February 3, 2015
Posted by: ManBearPig2114

Dying Light is kinda one of those games that takes a lot of stuff that worked in other games and lumped them into one. It is nothing new, but something borrowed.
It splices Dead Island (same studio, I know) with elements of Farcry, Borderlands, and other similar titles. You level up, you craft items, and you liberate "safe areas".
Overall, the main story missions are really fun to play. They have a decent amount of depth and variance. As I expected, the side missions turn you into an "errand boy". While I know many RPG-esque games do, DL literally has you fetching grocery lists and returning. Finding items, returning. Turning on switches, returning. Nothing too great or rewarding there.
One thing I do LOVE about this game is the quirky, really fitting soundtrack. Normally I could care less, but they did an AMAZING job fitting music to scenarios. It really adds a level of emotion to the game that is somewhat lacking elsewhere. Running through apartments battling zombies and armed bandits is great, but add a killer track to it...AMAZING!
Don't even get me started on the voice acting. I CANNOT believe that the producers and studio thought the voice acting was good. It is so unbelievably cheesy at times it makes you cringe! It's not Gears of War lame, but almost. Names and locations are also pretty horrid. Not that it's thaaaat big of a deal, but well-thought details such as this can add or detract.
Overall, gameplay is fun enough. I used DL as a filler game before Evolve and Order 1886, and it fits the bill nicely. I wouldn't recommend dropping everything you're doing to play it, but it is worth a play between more desirable games.

While I haven't had this watch for more than a day, I am already THRILLED with the product! I have been searching for a smart watch/fitness tracker for some time now. After much research and a careful cost vs. feature comparison, I came out with this Pebble Smartwatch.
It does everything I wanted that I liked from FitBit products AND adds the notifications I wanted! I bike 5 miles to and from the office, so my phone was always in my backpack. I was tired of missing important client calls and emails, and this solved it!
Comfortable, waterproof, and a breeze to setup!

Your body is poised for action as you strain to see through the dense London fog that thickly gathers around your legs. You see a fast blur of movement in your peripheral vision and rely on your heightened senses to fire directly at the obscured shape. As you slowly move toward the huddled mass that has fallen to the cobblestones, your fleeting moment of triumph is quickly replaced by mounting dread. Even though you've eliminated one enemy, there are still many, many left. Your name is Galahad — Sir Galahad — and you're one of the most experienced Knights of The Order. Centuries ago, a deadly foe known as Half-breeds emerged, and in response to this increasing threat The Order was formed, banding together and swearing to protect humanity against this new and mysterious enemy. You and your fellow Knights are able to heal your wounds and extend your lifespans through the strange, curative properties of the liquid Blackwater, so you can better engage this ancient foe. It is the year 1886 in London and thanks to advances in technology and science, The Order has started to turn the tide against the Half-breeds with powerful weapons and gadgets at their disposal. However, a new threat is starting to arise within London itself. Due to the Half-breed threat, security measures have had to be tightened, amounting to a near police state, leaving the citizens of London angry and emboldened in their quest to quell the rising government oppression. You and the rest of The Order must now face threats on all sides, struggling to maintain peace and order after the London populace declares an all-out war against The Order and the government they're perceived to represent.Play as Sir Galahad in The Order: 1886 — an expert tracker and hunter who's developed a calm, numb demeanor over the years after having witnessed countless deplorable acts of violence. Set in Victorian-era London, The Order combines real historical figures and events with new fictions and alternate twists on well-loved myths and legends. The gritty, dark world of London comes to life through The Order's cinematic presentation, which is made possible with realistic lighting and rendering techniques and a visual presentation that mimics the nuances and imperfections of real-life motion picture cameras and lenses. After you've tired of fighting Half-breeds and calming civil unrest for the day, dive even deeper into the game's exciting alternate history with this Collector's Edition, which includes a copy of The Order: 1886 as well as a 7" Galahad Under Fire statue, collectable steelbook, Coat of Arms stickers, Knight's Arsenal DLC, official game soundtrack and unreleased behind-the-scenes footage. Transport yourself to a place where history and myth collide with The Order: 1886 Collector's Edition.

The rugged, open land of North Africa has definitely put your sniping skills to the test since you've been here. You've trekked across treacherous mountain ranges, sought cover in sprawling, easily visible flatlands and discreetly made your way through bustling cities and secluded villages. You've been following your target for days, waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Finally, after a week of relentless pursuit, you spot your target briefly enjoying the evening air on a veranda. Without a moment of hesitation, you align your barrel and squeeze the trigger, eliminating your target with one well-placed, well-timed shot. Your target soundlessly slips to the floor, and just as soundlessly, you make a quick exit.Set during WWII in North Africa, Sniper Elite III lets you play as American OSS agent, Karl Fairburne. Your mission? — provide a helping hand to the Allied forces, drawing from your wealth of sharpshooting knowledge and experience to assist them in whatever way possible. After uncovering a secret tank program that could swiftly destroy any Allied force if it comes to fruition, you must use all of your sniping intelligence and skills to take out the enemy — shot by shot. Roam the varied North African battlefield on nonlinear routes that offer visual diversity as well as gameplay variation, allowing you to engage enemies in a wide range of open and close-knit environments. Use shadows and the darkness of night to remain unseen by the Afrika Korps for optimal stealth. Plan relocation tactics that suit your mission's particular needs as well as your own unique sniping style by searching the landscape and discovering nests, ambush locations and more. Lie in wait for the Afrika Korps' vehicles and then unleash havoc with the vehicle kill-cam, which lets you take out entire vehicular crews and blow up vehicles' gas tanks with just one shot. Unlock more than 40 new customization parts as you progress through the game, so you can build a high-tech rifle, improve your character and more. Intelligently decide how to deal with both long-range and short-range combat missions based on detailed feedback. Engage in either co-op or competitive multiplayer modes, which allow you to work together or fight against your friends. Make sure your breath is shallow and your fingers steady before you squeeze the trigger in Sniper Elite III: Afrika.

Cool features, X Ray gets old FAST
on December 30, 2014
Posted by: ManBearPig2114
from Pittsburgh, PA
The first few times you play the game, the X Ray is super-neato cool. After several hours, it's everything you can do to skip through it. It is basically all stealth with heavy penalties on error.
Controls are wonky at times, camera can be a pain.
The game is fun, the multiplayer is sub-par. Multiplayer is basically a campground, as it is all based on snipers (obviously).

Meh. Kinda neat...I guess

Posted by: ManBearPig2114

This new installment in the Wolfenstein franchise is mediocre at best. Having watched this game evolve from the original floppy-disk version, it's gone uphill, and then downhill.
This version is definitely on the declining slope. The gameplay is so-so, the dual-wield weapons is superfluous at best. The stealth aspect is not well thought out.
The environments are pretty amazing though. Great landscapes. Cool enemy design.
Worth a rent or purchase at a good price.

If you do not like the in-ear provided microphone/headset, this is a mild upgrade at best. It is flimsy, cheap, and expected Turtle Beach quality.
I HIGHLY recommend spending a few extra bucks and go with Trittons.
