If you read a couple books a month, worth it!

I had used the Kindle Paperwhite for quite awhile before I got intrigued by the Voyage seeing it in person. I was apprehensive about upgrading given the higher cost but it was entirely worth it. The Paperwhite is lite in weight but somehow the Voyage feels weightless. The screen is absolutely beautiful and to me the nicest feature is the screen is flush with the bezel around. Little learning curve to the page press on the side but tweaking the settings a little I have it down now.

Best update to the iPod Touch line yet
on November 5, 2015

This is the best update to the iPod Touch line since it went to the bigger screen size following the release of the iPhone 5. The iPod Touch desperately needed a processor update to match the new requirements of iOS for a smooth experience. The previous generation was very slow and laggy for things like Apple Music, a core feature of an iPod. It is now fluid, fast, with great battery life.
I don't know if it's worth full price given an iPad Mini is not much more but if you can get one at 10-15% off, I think it's a great value.

Excellent protection, unique style, just tad heavy

Got this case for my wife's new iPad Air 2. She wanted something little unique that offered good durability. Colors are nice and bold, the any-angle is very unique and works well - although little stiff at first. The squared corners make the case very unique and a little different.
Cons of the case are of course price, and then I think it's a bit heavier than most other cases. I guess it's the price for the durability.

The thinnest iPad ever is also the most capable. It's loaded with advanced technologies, including the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.

Upgraded from iPad Air
on October 30, 2014
Posted by: TheDing

I loved the Air, but I really wanted the extra speed and better camera. I didn't think I would notice the speed as much as I have. The thinness and weightlessness of the iPad is something you have to experience in person. It's incredible they engineered something better than the Air in a smaller footprint.
With the screen now being one layer in the iPad, it does feel like you are actually touching the pixels (similar to the iPhone 6). I am very impressed.

Great design, just poor execution
on July 2, 2014

Age:25-34
Gender:Male
I've tried many health trackers out there on the market: the Fitbit Flex, Jawbone UP 24, and the Misfit Shine.
I love wearing the Misfit Shine the best out of the other two and best of all loved the fact I didn't have to have another device to charge. But at the end of the day, the rubber sport-band made me nervous that over time and doing exercise with it, that the Shine would eventually fall out and be lost. You can feel the shine jiggle in the Sport Band. After a few days, it's very easy to pop out once the rubber has been stretched enough.
They say the leather band accessory is a lot more secure - but I don't want to spend $40 on an accessory band in leather that will not be comfortable to wear while out on an hour long run - nor can that be worn in water.
I prefered the App design over FitBit and Jawbone a lot. The auto-sleep tracking is neat when it works. But if you are somewhat stationary watching television on a couch before bed-time, it will think you're asleep. I also got up one morning and had gone downstairs, taken several steps, and it thought I was still asleep (maybe I was dreaming?)
I think a V2 of this device where the Misfit can be inserted into the band (similar to the FitBit Flex) would be a great idea. Also - you can forget being able to see the LED's while out in the sun (unless you cover up the Misfit with your hand).

What's great about it: Thin, no need to re-charge battery
What's not so great: Nervous that it will fall out over time and be lost, cannot see LEDs in daylight

For the price, it's a great tablet

I wanted something smaller to throw in my bag on my commute and something that wasn't crazy expensive should I have lost it or had it stolen.
I have an iPad Air with LTE which I love and is my workhorse. But at times I want something a tad smaller. I was considering getting the basic iPad Mini (non-retina) but couldn't justify the price for the low resolution screen (it just looks terrible after using iPad Air). The iPad Mini with Retina was just too expensive as a second device.
Android has matured a lot and is now much more usable for me. I was pleasantly surprised by the build quality on this. Samsung has tended to have poor quality backs to their devices but this one (at least in white) appears to be very durable and isn't a fingerprint magnet. It's nice not having to worry about dents like you do with the iPad.
Battery Life is much better than I expected, no where close to iPad levels, but this area has come a long way.

This case had me very excited until I put my iPad Air in it. No auto on/off and near impossible to press buttons means this case is going back.

What's not so great: Deceptive box, no auto off, too hard to press buttons

Can you read books in the sun like my Kindle?

Not very well - you'd have to turn brightness so far up you would kill your battery. For reading in the sun, get a basic Kindle.
