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.

Enjoy the protection this OtterBox Defender case offers your Samsung Galaxy S8. Its triple-layer system includes an inner polycarbonate shell, outer rubber cover to prevent damage from falls, impacts or abrasions. The port covers on this black OtterBox Defender case keep dirt and dust from interfering with connections.

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.

Perfect Bake PRO Smart Scale: Simplify your baking process with this smart scale, which wirelessly connects to your smartphone or tablet. Use the downloadable app to measure out ingredients and adjust your recipe to accommodate multiple serving sizes. The app offers a grocery list function and hundreds of recipes for you to try.

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.

View calls and texts on the screen of this Garmin GPS Navigator. This GPS system features a powered magnetic mount for easy installation and comes with free lifetime maps and updates. The voice-activated navigation and Bluetooth hands-free calling let you drive safely. This Garmin GPS Navigator's driver alerts increase awareness of speed zones and upcoming sharp turns.

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.

Protect your Samsung Galaxy S7 from dirt and damage with this OtterBox Commuter Series case. This slim case provides a two-layer defense system that guards your phone from drops, bumps and knocks, and a self-adhesive screen protector protects against scratches. Since it offers optimal protection without the bulk, this OtterBox Commuter Series case slips easily into your pocket.

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.

Polished design, fast autofocus and solid water resistance ensure the Samsung Galaxy S7 delivers. Its 12-megapixel rear-facing camera is a joy to behold, taking sharp photos even in low-light conditions, and the powerful Android OS gives you outstanding responses from the powerful processor and RAM. Enjoy expandable flash memory thanks to the micro-SD card slot on this Samsung Galaxy S7.

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.

Drive more efficiently and remember where you parked with this Automatic RL-10001-0A car adapter that gives you subtle audio cues when you do things that waste gas and keeps an automatic parking log.

Does what it claims to do.

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.

3 out of 5not 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

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.

Base Maps?
The NUVI2595LMT HD KIT states it has no base maps. What does this mean? It also indicates that USA maps come with it and they have life time updates. One reviewer was disappointing because his had no maps. I'm confused, please explain what is included and what is not in the way of maps compared to the "normal" Garmin I purchased 5 years ago with maps built in.
Thanks
Thanks
LMT means lifetime maps and traffic. New units come with maps pre installed.

Is it possible to change the route your GPS suggests you go??
Is it possible to change the route that your gps tells you to go without having it tell you recalculating every so often? I want to go from Minnesota to Colorado by way of the Black Hills instead of going through Nebraska. How do I tell my gps this?
Without knowing what brand of GPS you own it's hard to answer that question. Many units allow you to set up a trip or pick places you want to go and then it will set up the route. Go to your brand's web site and see if they have user manuals for you to download.

As long as it has the maps you need you pick the unit that has the features you want. Personally I'd stick with Garmin.

Garmin or Magellan?
I'm trying to decide between the Garmin 1450 LMT and the Magellan RM 5045. It seems they have some different features, but I can't seem to find out enough to know which one would be best.
I've owned Garmin units for years and wouldn't purchase any other brand. Just to be fair I've looked at Magellan units and I don't feel they even come close.
