Prop your 9.7-inch iPad Pro up at the best working angle with this Speck Balance FOLIO case. A hardshell polyurethane exterior safeguards against scratches and dings, and the soft interior liner absorbs shock during accidental drops. This Speck Balance FOLIO case has a secure clasp that keeps the cover closed when not in use to protect the display.

Screen lock feature, doesn't get dirty, great case

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this case for the new Ipad. It fits it perfectly and it has the feature where when you open it the screen automatically turns on and when you close it the screen automatically turns off. You can also use the case as a stand.
My favorite thing about this case is it doesn't show fingerprints and it doesn't get dirty. So far had it about a month and still looks as good and clean as day 1.

Motivates you, notifications make life easier
on May 30, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I was never a watch person. Getting the Apple Watch was kind of an experiment for me. After using it for a while I've come to the conclusion that it's great if you want motivation for fitness goals and the notifications make life easier because you don't need to check your phone as often.
Theres 2 primary things about the Apple watch: one is its meant for fitness and the other is for notifications.
Every single notification that you would normally get on your phone, you will see on your watch. Which is why it makes your life easier because you don't need to check your phone often.
When setting up the Apple watch you put in your height and weight and then you pick whether you want a light, moderate, or heavy workout goal. I went for a moderate workout goal and it actually gave me a high calorie goal and motivated me to work out a lot. I ended up not being able to keep up with the calorie goal so I slightly lowered it.
Apple watch gives you 3 goals: one is active calories, one is exercising at least 30 minutes every day, and the last is standing up for at least a minute once every hour. Compared to using your phone which literally doesn't track anything except steps. this watch is quite beneficial for motivating you to get in shape.
I give it 4/5 stars because I find the watch is somewhat fragile and scratches easily and the second thing I've noticed is standby battery life is kind of terrible. It seems regardless of whether I use my watch or not, the battery still drains at almost the same rate. For example I leave my watch on the counter overnight it's at 60% battery and once I wake up it'll be at 30% battery. I lose 30% battery..just by doing absolutely nothing except it just sitting there while I sleep.
As for battery life itself, getting a full day out of the Apple watch is easy. I usually have anywhere from 50-65% before I go to sleep. However if I leave my watch on the counter and wake up I'll end up having about 30-45% left...so standby life really kills this thing but otherwise I'd say getting 2 days out of the watch is possible if you turn it off right before you go to sleep and turn it only when you wake up. However getting anymore than 2 days of battery life is practically impossible.

Great product but keep your light switch always on
on April 19, 2017
Posted by: alex12
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a product that is meant to make your life easier. You can connect up to 50 lights and each light acts as an extender for the bridge.
You use your smartphone to get full customization or you can use just your voice if you have either a Google Home or an Amazon echo.
There is one downside however and that is you can no longer use your physical light switch to turn off the lights, because if you do so then you won't be able to turn them back on with your phone or Google Home/Amazon Echo and it kills one of the biggest points of having these lights in the first place. So you have to use your smart device to turn the lights off and make sure you leave the physical light switch always on! This downside itself has nothing to do with hue so I'm not taking any points out of them for this since you're going to run into this problem with every single smart lighting system. The only way to get rid of this problem is to replace your outlets with smart outlets or replace your light switches with smart switches.
Other than the downside that is not Hue's fault at all, I would give this product 5 stars but the app itself is a little flaky and could be better designed. Controlling lights using the app while away from home also seems to be a hit or miss and I haven't found out how to schedule the lights to go on and off at certain times yet.
Overall I'd give this close to 4 stars. Redesign the app, fix the bugs and make it better and simpler to use and this would get a 5 star from me! :)

You should get a screen protector!
on April 6, 2017
Posted by: alex12
Verified Purchase:Yes
A lot of you may ask the question "Why should I get a screen protector?" I have asked the same question before I got one and let me tell you why you should.
1. It prevents scratches. Phones are going to develop tiny scratches, whether its from bouncing around in your pocket/purse, keys, nails, minor drops, you are going to end up with some minor scratches at the very least, but the beauty of the screen protector is it will prevent scratches on the area that the screen protector covers.
2. It drastically reduces the chances of cracking your screen. While a screen protector is not going to 100% prevent it if you drop your screen hard enough, you are at least 3x less likely to break your screen with having the screen protector on there.
3. Screens are expensive to replace.
Now those were just the points of getting a screen protector, but now lets get to why you should buy this zagg glass+ screen protector for your $700+ iphone 7 plus.
1. It does NOT make the clarity of the screen any worse, in fact it only makes it BETTER because you get anti-glare coating, and not to mention the screen won't get smudged as easily either!
2. The screen still feels the same like your regular screen, this is the nice benefit of a glass screen protector.
3. Lifetime warranty. If the screen cracks or gets scratches, you get a free replacement you just pay for shipping,
4. This screen protector has improved crack resistance when you drop your phone, so you are less likely to crack your actual screen when you drop your phone compared to other brands.
5. It actually looks good! This can actually add on to your phone's style, it just looks nice on there as opposed to other protectors that sometimes make your phone look uglier.
Let's summarize the benefits.
Prevents scratches, significaly reduces chance of cracking your actual screen, has anti glare feature and won't pickup smudges as easily as your actual screen, and looks good and adds some style onto your phone!
Zagg has other screen protectors as well, there is a mirror glass (makes your phone like a mirror when the screen is off), privacy glass (makes it a lot harder for people to see what you're doing on your phone when they view it at an angle, and other types of screen protectors that add some nice style to your phone. I would strongly recommend going with their brand and if you're looking for a clear screen protector that will add some nice style on to your phone this is definitely the one to go!

Great mirror functionally, good screen protector

Screen protector feels like not having one on at all, That's how comfortable it is when you use it. The mirror functionally works really well and makes your phone usable as a mirror whenever the screen is off. No more need to turn the camera on!
