Good protection with one deal breaking flaw
on August 22, 2016

I love Zagg and their products. I have bought their screen protectors for every phone I've had for many years and they've all been great. However this one is definitely the exception. The phone has a curved display and like has happened to numerous other reviewers the top corners of this screen protector started to come up immediately when I put my case on and there is no putting them back down. If this is all you plan on using to protect your phone then go with this because it also protects the back too. However with an all glass phone I highly recommend something other than just this to protect it. I returned this and went with a tempered glass model.

What you would expect from Apple
on May 2, 2016
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
This case is awesome but pricey like everything else from Apple. I have it with the smart cover on my iPad mini and now my iPad Pro. It fits the iPad like a glove. It has a soft interior so it won't scratch the iPad and has a hard shell so it's not just soft silicone and will provide some protection. I love the grippy feel it provides. After months of use it cleans up wonderfully and shows no signs of wear even the one on my mini which is light blue. It protects fine against bumps and scratches but a fall onto a hard surface I have my doubts. If you're hard on your gadgets you might want to consider something more protective. If you want a full case you need to pair this with the smart cover which is sold separately and protects the front. You can get them to match or get different colors. They are not cheap but I see it as kind of foolish to spend as much as an iPad Pro costs and not protect it.

Pretty cool alarm clock
on April 20, 2016
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
I thought I was the only person on the planet that didn't use their cellphone as an alarm clock. I just don't trust it. Too many things can go wrong leading to me not being up when I need to be. I am a very sound sleeper. I go to bed late and work swing shifts. When I have to wake up at 5:00AM I need something LOUD because I am in a deep sleep at that time and could easily sleep right through a lot of alarms. This one I use on 30 and it's plenty loud. It can go up to 40. I love the lights and how it changes colors. You can dim them all the way down to where they shut off, however this dims the time too. It has two alarms so if you and your spouse/signifigant other have to be up at different times you can set both. You can wake up to music from basically any device you might have. Older devices that aren't bluetooth compatible you have to plug in with an auxiliary jack. It charges almost anything with a USB cord which is an awesome feature. The sound is decent but it's not as good as JBL, Beats or Bose. It's an alarm clock though so most people don't spend a lot of time listening to it. It was definitely not anywhere near bad enough to be a deal breaker. It has a sleep timer so if you want to fall asleep listening to music you can as well. All in all it was a good purchase and I recommend it.

The newly designed Smart Cover for iPad mini 4 is constructed from a single piece of polyurethane to protect the front of your device. The Smart Cover automatically wakes your iPad when opened and puts it to sleep when closed. It folds into different positions to create a stand for reading, viewing, typing, or making FaceTime calls. And it's easy to remove, so you can snap it on and off whenever you want.

Nice cover but pricey
on February 27, 2016
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
I really like this cover. It comes in many beautiful colors, it easily connects to your iPad with a magnet, and it folds down as a stand. It puts your iPad to sleep when you close it and wakes it up when you open it. It has a velvet covering on the inside so your screen isn't scratched. It is pricey for something that only protects the front of the iPad. That goes without saying with Apple though. This can be used alone but is made to be paired with the silicone case for the back which is another $59.99. You can buy them to match or mix and match colors. I got the stone color back and I think it would look nice with any color smart cover. I would recommend looking for a more protective case if you are hard on your gadgets though because I have my doubts about whether your screen would survive if your iPad was dropped on a hard surface in this.

Prevent drops with the strong grip of this Speck Candyshell Grip SPK-A3194 case made for your Samsung Galaxy Note 4 cell phone that features texturized raised rubber ridges on the back to make taking pictures, texting and gaming easy.
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
I have had this case for my last 3 phones and I really like it. It fits the phone like a glove. It's protective while adding only minimal bulk, gives you easy access to the charging port, and all the controls are easy to use. I like the grippy feel of it in my hands and how it doesn't slide if you set your phone on something. I have the white and black stripe and when the the black with gray stripes went on sale I picked it up too. They both look pretty sharp on my white phone and have held up well after several months of use. I dropped my Note 3 onto concrete but only from about 3 feet up and it survived unscathed in this case. There was no damage to my glass screen protector either. A fall from higher up I can't say though. If you're super hard on phones you may want to look into a more protective case but for most people I think this will do fine. For the price I highly recommend it.

mophie Powerstation XL External Battery Charger: Always be ready to recharge mobile phones, tablets and other USB devices. No bigger than a deck of cards, this portable charger has enough power to charge up to two devices, and tracks how much battery life the device has.
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
I've tried other portable charging options and can honestly say Mophie isn't the cheapest but they're hands down the best. This is my third Mophie device and I've been very pleased with all of them. I have a smaller one that I like because it's more portable and carries easier in my purse. It only gives my Galaxy Note 4 one charge though. I got this one because it has a lot more power and also has the ability to charge two devices at once. It can charge almost anything, even my bluetooth headset and speaker which is great. It's a lifesaver on any trip but road trips especially and any time you won't have access to electricity for an extended period of time. You never have to worry about your devices being dead when you need them. With many people, myself included, not having landline phones any more, if the power were to ever go out for a long period of time, this XL model would be way better to have than a smaller one. It charges my phone as quickly as the charger that came with it. It fully charges my Galaxy Note 4 four times on a single charge, or my full size iPad twice. The downsides are that it takes a long time to charge all the way up, and it's the biggest and heaviest of all the mophie models. To fully charge it takes about 10 hours with my Samsung or Apple adapters. I usually plug it in in the late evening and it's fully charged by morning. The size is the tradeoff for having way more power and the double charging ability. I'll take it for sure. It easily fits in a briefcase, carryon bag, backpack or purse. I would recommend it to anyone. Mophie is the only portable charger I'll ever buy.

Headphones on, world off!
on December 8, 2014
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
I love these headphones. You truly go into your own little world when you have them on. I had the red Solo 2s that are awesome as well but I could never seem to keep them away from my 17 year old sister/Goddaughter. When the studios went on sale for $100.00 off on Black Friday I decided to give her those and buy myself an early Christmas and birthday present. I am very satisfied so far. They fit around the ear and are very light and comfortable even for long listening sessions where the solos and other on ear headphones would start to make my ears hurt. The sound quality is balanced and phenomenal, they can handle all types of music from hard rock and heavy metal to hip hop to classical. The bass is there, but it doesn't overpower the highs and mids. I'm not a fan of thumping bass and the unbalanced muddy sound was what kept me from buying earlier Beats models. Beats definitely got it right with this newest line. The battery life is excellent, I use them about an hour and a half to two hours a day at least 5 days a week and have to charge them about once a week. The noise cancelling feature is awesome. They make me oblivious to the world around me with the volume half way up on my iPod touch. This is a nice feature but of course use with caution and depending on your surroundings. The cord is detachable and can be purchased separately if it's ever lost or damaged. This is nice because you're only out $29.99 instead of $299.99 for all new headphones like with older models with an attached cord. The cord has a microphone attached for phone calls and they also come with a hard protective case. The cord and charger fit in the case with the headphones and they fold up easily for travel. They are pricey but for a music lover SO worth it. I highly recommend them.

JBL is awesome!
on May 13, 2014
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
from Sheffield, Ohio
This is a pretty awesome Bluetooth speaker. Don't let the small size fool you, it sounds amazing, and with all types of music. The lows, mids and highs balance out nicely, and there is more than enough bass. It gets pretty darn loud and without distortion. I haven't used it outside yet, I'm sure you would have no problem with it being heard and well. It easily connects via bluetooth with my Galaxy Note 3, iPad 3, and iPod touch. I can put it in the next room and it still works perfectly. It also has an audio in port to plug in older iPods, MP3 players and things that aren't bluetooth compatible. You also have the option to charge your devices with it, which is awesome. It comes with a nice little sleeve to protect it as well, which is nice if you put it in a bag or purse like I do. It goes anywhere you do so I'm looking forward to using it outside by the pool and while I work in the yard this summer. I work 12 1/2 hour shifts and I've played it for 11 1/2 hours at a time and it still isn't flashing red, so I can attest to the fact the 12 hour battery life (when just playing music) is accurate. This isn't surprising though considering it's a JBL. This isn't my first JBL product and it won't be my last that's for sure. They KNOW how to do sound. I have an old JBL Onstage that still looks like new and works perfectly that's six years old. I also had an Onstage micro that I gave to my sister and she loves and still works perfectly. It is pricey, I researched and read many reviews before I got this. I've heard the Beats Pill and several other wireless speakers in this category and price range and in my honest opinion, this one is the best sounding unless you want to spend considerably more. I was going to go with the Pulse but I bought it for the sound so couldn't justify spending another $50.00 just for the lights. I'm sure the battery would have drained way quicker and it doesn't come with the sleeve to protect it either. It is pretty cool and a must for every music addict. I highly recommend it.

"Life" proof is the perfect name
on April 8, 2014
Posted by: Sportsjunkie
This is my first Lifeproof case and will definitely not be my last. However like with everything, there is good and bad. I was VERY hesitant to spend this much on a phone case but could not be happier that I did that's for sure. I'll start with the good: 1) Protection from just about anything that could accidentally happen to your phone, including being dropped in liquid or liquid spilled on it. As long as the charging port door and headset ports are closed, every opening to your phone is sealed. My 3 year old nephew spilled a giant glass of chocolate milk all over my phone and there was no damage to the phone whatsoever. I have absolutely no doubt that without this case my phone would have been completely destroyed. It's an excellent investment for anyone who has children or a job where their phone takes a beating. 2) Does not make the buttons on your phone hard to operate like some cases. 3) For the protection level it provides, does not add much bulk to the phone. 4) You can use any screen protector you want so if you swap cases, your screen isn't unprotected. 5) I've had this case a month and have yet to have anyone tell me they can't hear me which seems to be a big problem with other waterproof cases. The Bad: 1) The price, however it's WAY cheaper than a new phone, paying to have a screen replaced or the deductible on most insurance plans. Even if you do have insurance, you're usually stuck paying a deductible, sending your broken phone somewhere and you're without a phone or using an old one for the time it takes your claim to be processed and your new phone to get to you. 2) You may have a problem getting some chargers and headsets that you plug in into the ports far enough to use them. The ones that Samsung gives you with the phone do work fine. 3) The door for the charging port that you have to open daily to charge your phone can be a pain and I am worried about it breaking eventually. I did hold onto my receipt and packaging and I have shopped at Best Buy for years and know they are very good about returns and exchanges. This case is a great way to protect your investment and I think the good far outweighs the bad. I highly recommend it.

This is a nice, basic Android tablet. I have an iPad3 and had an iPad mini that my neice fell in love with so much I wound up giving to her. I wanted something small enough to be very portable that would fit in my purse easily for basic web browsing, to read books, play afew games, check emails and Facebook and Twitter without spending a fortune. I have an android phone so I wanted to give an android tablet a try. This tablet fit my needs perfectly. The screen resolution and response are basically the same as the iPad mini was. It runs very smooth and the speed on the internet is fine for the needs of most people. It easily loads a web page in afew seconds most of the time. The battery life is excellent. It can easily go all day with moderate to heavy use and still have 25% battery life left. It charges very quickly too. It only comes with 8 gigs of onboard memory but you can add up to a 64 gig memory card which is an option you don't have with Apple. The Android market is great and has thousands of books, TV shows, apps, movies, and many are at a much lower price than than the App Store for my iPad or even free. I do have to stay a little bit closer to my router for the same WiFi signal strength with this than with my iPad. It's important to understand you're not going to get a top of the line tablet for with an ultra high resolution screen and super fast processor for $199.99. A lot of people will complain when they don't. However this tablet works absolutely fine. It does what I bought it to do and serves its purpose well.

The screen cover was "installed" by a Best Buy employee. When I purchased the item I was asked if I wanted an employee to install it for me. Little did I know that I was being charged for the installation as well. The installation of the screen cover was so bad I had to remove it. There were so many bubbles in it I had a hard time reading the screen. I removed it because I was afraid it would damage the screen itself. Not only did I lose money on the screen cover, but I lost money on the installation.

You should have taken it back
July 13, 2012
Best Buy guarantees the installation that you paid for so you should have left it on and returned it to the store. They would have replaced the screen protector and re-done the installation at no extra charge. Now that you've taken it off and they can't see that it was improperly installed, I doubt there is anything they can do, but Best Buy does have very good customer service so it wouldn't hurt to try as long as the store isn't to far away.

5 out of 5THIS IS THE BEST IPOD TOUCH EVER!
By TroyC_BBYSTAFF
from Mishawaka, IN
I have owned every generation of iPod Touch. This one is by far the best one ever. They made it thinner, with a lager screen, higher resolution, and amazingly... Better battery life. I've noticed that I can charge it only once every other day and it works all day. The thing I love about this iPod Touch is the over all form factor. It is so LIGHT! I almost cannot tell it is in my pocket. My only advice is that you shouldn't cover this thing with a case, with the new colors and the sleek feel, it's a shame to add bulk and weight. Just get a Zagg, and Geek Squad Protection if your worried about breaking it.

Great review, but get a case!
October 30, 2012
I have a 4th generation iPod touch and I'm going to be upgrading to this model shortly. Your review was very informative, but I have to disagree with you on not protecting something this fragile and expensive with a case. I have seen drops from as little as a couple feet shatter the screens on numerous friends and relatives iPods and iPhones. You can get a good protective case for half of what Best Buy wants for one year of Geek Squad protection to. I do totally agree with the Zagg screen protectors though I love them and will never use anything else. It's everyones own iPod so their decision to make, but I definitely say GET A CASE.

This thing is so frustrating. I bought it for my wife for Valentine's Day and she cant use very much because the battery stays dead. She has charged it completely numerous times. turned off the wi-fi and blue tooth, set the screen brigthtness, etc. Why does apple put these features on the ipod if you can't use them for any length of time.

It sounds like you got a lemon. The iPod is under warranty for a year from the date of purchase so return it to Best Buy and if it's been to long for them to do anything they'll refer you to an Apple store that can replace it for you.

4 out of 5Used since iphone 3g
By Miggles
Ive used zagg screen protectors since the iphone 3g. Mainly I felt like writing this review because I disagree with a previous review giving it 1 star. This is by no means a simple screen protector to apply and I messed up my first one as well. best buy offers to apply it for you for $8 and if they misplace it theyll place another one free. I myself pass on that offer since I figured out how to apply them after the first attempt. The screen protector itself is worth it, and if you need to remove it for a phone repair, you can register the product on zaggs website and get a new one free by mailing in the old one. Dont listen to the 1 star review, he/she is just angry about a failed attempt.

I couldn't agree more!
May 13, 2013
I am a huge fan of this screen protector as well and will not use anything else as long as it's available. I have it on my Galaxy S3, iPad3, 5th Gen iPod touch, had it on my 4th Gen iPod and will have it on my Galaxy S4 as soon as it comes out for Verizon. It is pricey no doubt, but as long as it's installed correctly, you can hardly tell it's there. I had a guy at Verizon try to tell me I didn't have a screen protector on my phone and when I told him I did, he basically accused me of lying because he couldn't see it. . IF (and this is a big IF) it's installed correctly, that's how good it is. It's crystal clear and doesn't take away from your screen at all. It doesn't come up or get scratched and is very easy to wipe clean. I have yet to hear one bad review where the person gets it on correctly and doesn't like the actual product. I have seen how much of a pain they are to install and I would rather not have the hassel or risk my money so I just pay Best Buy to do it. If they mess up, you get another one for free. That did happen to me once to. Better their $25.00 than yours, especially if you've never done it before and don't know someone who has.

Compatible with an ipod shuffle?
I would like a speaker/alarm clock that is compatible with an ipod shuffle. The ipod shuffle doesn't have bluetooth & the specs of this product say the USB port is for charging. Can you also use the USB port to connect to a music device instead of the bluetooth?
Yes I have an older ipod nano that doesn't have bluetooth that I do this with. You attach the shuffle to the back of the clock with an auxiliary cable through the headphone jack on the iPod. One comes with the clock, however it is very short. You can listen to your iPod shuffle, wake up or fall asleep to music.
