Good protection
on May 29, 2017
Posted by: socrfan1
Not super easy to install but it works. No fingerprints or dust. Having said that it does cover the entire glass and it's invisible. Cheaper than having to get the watchface fixed. Glad I got it.

Another great case from Otterbox
on April 29, 2017
Posted by: socrfan1
I've always trusted Otterbox and this is no exception. I don't miss the screen protector since I always applied a hardened glass shield anyway. The flat protector they always included most likely wouldn't work with the curved screen so it's no loss. The case provides arguably one of if not the best protection available and the belt holster snaps on securely to the case. No complaints.

Fool proof baking
on April 22, 2017
Posted by: socrfan1
Even if you're new to baking or never had luck with it this item and the included app will rescue you. Everything is explained as you go and the app even includes timers for how long to mix and how long to bake. If you do make a mistake (accidentally add to much of an ingredient for example) the app can help you fix it and it will scale recipes for you. Lots of recipes included, they regularly add more and you can put in your own. You'll be pleasantly surprised at all the features you'll discover in the app. When you purchase the scale it can be used with the bake, mixer and drink apps. This is an excellent product.

Excellent navigation unit.
on October 2, 2016
Posted by: socrfan1
As usual Garmin stomps the competition. Tons of features and options. The display is crisp and easy to see. The directions have been spot on and when I look up a POI they are local, not hundreds of miles away. Voice commands are easy and accurate. This unit puts my overpriced factory installed system to shame. I haven't experienced any of the problems a few of the reviews have mentioned. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Nicely designed case.
on May 7, 2016
Posted by: socrfan1
Have had Otter Box on my phones for years. Always reliable. Gives a much better grip on the phone. The slimmer and slicker phone exteriors get the easier they are to drop so a case is a good investment. This one looks great on the phone, feels good in your hand and fits perfectly. The end caps for the jacks are a nice extra and, no, I don't see the charger plug being damaged by the cap. All in all a nice case that should protect your phone well.

At first glance this phone may not look much different than it's previous versions. But after using it you come to find a lot of new features to like, some of which aren't readily apparent until you start digging in and finding them. The combination of Android 6 and Samsung's new feature set makes it a serious consideration. Wouldn't trade it for any other Android (or Apple) phone.

Does what it claims to do.
on May 20, 2015
Posted by: socrfan1
Some people are expecting more from this unit than it's capable of. The reason it stays connected, through your phone, to the manufacturer is because they continually update the units firmware and software with new features. That also allows it to contact them if your car is involved in a crash so they can provide you help if needed. All in all it works well for what it does.

not much of an improvement
By jackazz
still a good GPS device and decent upgrade.
nicer screen.
but directions are still below average and the HD traffic improvement was hardly an improvement at all. When I'm in a rush, I still find myself using Google maps on my phone instead of the GPS or at the same time, to figure out traffic flows and the fastest route.
Again, overall a solid GPS but not much on an upgrade from my past NUVI

Somewhat confusing to follow instructions
By RRousseau
I don't have the latest tablet therefore I cannot download the required app to work with the scale. I have to resort to my phone which is too small to navigate all the features the app has to offer. I will try using it a few more times and if I still find it difficult I will return the item.

You don't need the "latest" tablet to download the app. You can buy tablets for under $50 that have bluetooth and wifi capabilities. Shop around.

It's probably safe to assume relatively few people use their PC in the kitchen. It's just not worth the time and money for companies to write software in cases like that.

Laser detectors used by Calif. law enforcement

Since the State of Calif. pretty much uses lidar (lazer) to detect speeders rather than radar, what is the best device to warn one of laser guns, etc. while still having radar dectection capabilities? Assume that cost is not a factor here!
Lider detection is not an exact science since it's a tighter much more controlled beam than radar. Plus the police tend to point it at licence plates (at least in states that have front plates) or other reflective surfaces so it may not be anywhere near your detector. The Max2 will do just as good a job as any.

is the bluetooth built into the detector itself or in the cord like some other escort detectors? I want to wire it into my mirror harness but also want the bluetooth technology.

It's built in.

How does it compare to the S5? Is it much better or only a slight upgrade?

I have the S5 and love it! I am thinking of upgrading to the S7. I go through Boost Mobile. Is it a huge upgrade or only a slight upgrade? Thank you for your time.
I had the S5 and this phone is a nice upgrade. Lots of new features that make it a better phone. I wouldn't go back to the S5.
