Perfect fit. Good lip. Feels good in the hand with the rubber textures on the back. Buttons and switches are easily accessible. Overall, very nice inexpensive case that offers solid protection.

Designed to hold most fixed-zoom and compact system cameras, this Dynex™ DX-DCSC06 case features nylon material to help safeguard your device against damage. The dual side compartments accommodate your essential items.

I wanted a basic camera bag to hold my DSLR and found this. It fits my Nikon D3200 with 15-55mm kit lens. It won't hold any lens longer than that. It has side pockets for extra batteries. It is made up of fabric, no plastic on the bottom either so it is very light weight and I wouldn't expect this to offer any drop protection. Shoulder strap is plenty long. Overall, solid purchase for the DSLR.

It did not come in retail package. It did include the apple tv, power cable, remote, and the remote cable. The device works and functions like new. I checked the Apple warranty and it expires February 2017. I purchased it in June 2017 during the flash sale for $95 so it was used for about 5 months. Obviously YMMV. New retails for $125-$150 so consider that and if it is worth the extra cash for full Apple warranty/new condition. The unit works as it should without issues. Plex works great and the cover art/interface is beautiful. It does lack google play and vudu/UV movie apps. No 4K either. The remote voice control works great. The biggest pro i would say is the beautiful use interface and fast streaming, especially with wireless AC. The touch control is not the greatest for navigation, it is more work to swipe than to press a directional pad (like the roku controller). I guess it can be useful for games but I don't use this for games. Also includes airplay which works good for youtube and not so much for displaying your desktop - there's too much lag.

Fast and responsive media and game player. Apps are available in the google store and easy to download. Initially took about 45min. to download and install all the updates (one by one, in order) to marshmallow. Kodi works great for free movies, tv shows, live sports. There is a micro usb plug; in order to utilize it you you have to get an adapter if you want to stream files from a USB HD. I'm also able to play HD movies from my network drive connected to the router via WIFI, it works fantastic without lag or freezing. Overall, much better buy than a Chromecast specially when its on sale for $50 due to its versatility and superior capabilities.

Works Great not sure what the plus is

I have the old K400 and this one. They are nearly identical. This was $20 during black friday. Works great with HTPC from the couch. I do wish it had an LED keyboard.

Works great but Airprint stopped working
on January 14, 2016
Posted by: ates
I use to be able to print wirelessly from the iphone but it stopped working. It does work in photos printing from the MAC via wifi. I'm not sure what the issues is. Loading paper and ink is simple. My only issue is airprint via the iphone stopped working. There were some issues where if you don't have the correct photo settings (postcard-fill) in printer settings the photo will print messed up. Overall, for the convenience it is nice to have. At an initial cost of $80-$95 for printer plus $30 for 108 prints it is expensive but it is for convenience and being able to print anytime you want. It is awesome for gatherings where you can print photos and hand them out. The quality of photo is dependent on the image quality. Better camera (DSLR) = better photo, IMO.

Print vibrant color photos with this paper and ink set using your Canon Selphy CP printer.
Posted by: ates
Well I was able to achieve 35 prints out of 2 packs which contain 36. It comes with 108 prints (18printsx6packs) and 3 ink cartridges (good for 36 prints each). The quality of print is dependent on your photo image quality. If you are using a DSLR the prints will be good. If you use the front side camera off a phone the photo won't be that great because of the poor lens thus poor image quality. Overall, it's nice to print from home and it's much more convenient.

Not 2000mah, battery did not charge
on January 14, 2016
Posted by: ates
I kept the batteries charged for 16+ hours and the led on the charger was still lit indicating the batteries were not done charging. The batteries are 1200mah and not very good quality. I would not recommended.

Works a little better than previous gen
on January 14, 2016
Posted by: ates
Wireless AC helps improve in reducing buffering of video playback. It also came with $20 google credit which was nice. I have the old gen and this slightly plays video faster but not by much 3-4 seconds. You will notice quicker video playback, less buffering and therefore highest possible bitrate out of your wifi connection. Overall recommended but don't expect a huge improvement.

Upgrade your home theater system with this NVIDIA SHIELD Android console. It lets you stream 4K HDR movies and TV shows and play hundreds of PC-quality games via GeForce NOW or Android streaming. The 16GB of internal memory stores your favorite multimedia files, and the voice search feature of this NVIDIA SHIELD Android console lets you access content immediately.
Overall4 out of 5
4 out of 5Performs identical to 2015 model but lacks ports
By ates
To clarify this has same internal specifications (CPU/Ram) as the previous 2015 16gb release and functions the same. The shield TV itself is reduced in size but at a cost of removing the micro-USB, and microSD slot. On the front the IR-receiver is also removed. The remote is different too, it is now made of plastic, uses a coin battery that must be replaced, and does not have the 3.5mm headphone jack for private listening. The controller has been updated for ergonomics, google voice commands, and increased battery life due to BT connection. Overall, the Shield TV functions the same but is a re-launch to get the controller bundle out and save Nvidia in manufacturing cost by reducing the inputs of the 16gb and making the remote plastic. The 2015 Nvidia Shield TVs will get an OTA firmware update so both would have identical performance/firmware/software. If you have the old Shield TV then it's not necessary to get this. This does have a new controller but the Shield TV/Remote is a downgrade as it lacks the inputs and aluminum remote.
