Power your Apple devices with this Belkin charge dock. It comes with a Lightning connector that charges iPhones and an integrated magnetic charger that provides Apple watches with more juice when needed. The single built-in cable of this Belkin charge dock lets you charge both devices simultaneously, saving you the inconvenience of using multiple cords.

Almost Perfect Solution
on August 25, 2016
Posted by: Technopackrat
As an iPhone 6s Plus and Apple watch owner I've had to rely on two methods to charge both devices. I use an Urban Armor Gear case for my phone so it's a bit large. I had concerns that regular docks would not work due to the size of the case or I'd be stuck removing the phone anytime I wanted to cradle it. I ended up just plugging it into a sync/charge cable.
The Belkin Powerhouse is a great solution to my problem. It comes with it's own power adapter so you don't use a sync cable. It's got some weight so it won't move around while you are docking your devices and it takes up a little more than a 3" x 3" footprint on my desk.
The dock for the phone has an adjustable lightning connector that you dial up or down to accommodate different case configurations. It's got some flexibility to the connector to make it easier to dock and undock, although I need practice getting the alignment perfect on the first attempt to dock but I'm sure it will be easier the more I use it.
The watch charger is incorporated into the stand and uses the same power source. It's extremely convenient all in one charging station for both devices.
Since it does not use a lightning cable or a USB connection you MUST use WiFi sync between the phone and the computer. I had never used that feature and always sync'd using the USB cable so it took me a few moments to set up the combo to sync via WiFi. Not a huge issue but a slight inconvenience at first.
All in all a great device which addresses a need for iPhone and Apple Watch owners.

Great tablet for the money

I've been slowly moving away from Apple products and migrating to Android devices. I have owned several tablets... original iPad, iPad2, iPad Mini, Dell Venue 8, Nexus 7 and the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition. I really love the Note 10.1 and when I saw the Tab Pro 8.4 form factor I fell in love with it. Android is a robust operating system and it perfect for the geek that likes to customize the look and feel of the experience. If you want something plain jane vanilla and something that just gets the job done... go get an iPad. You want to fully customize and tweak your tablet get the Tab Pro.

Improve your audio experience with this Samsung three-channel soundbar. This unit, which has a built-in subwoofer, channels high-resolution full-spectrum sound and eliminates the need for an extra bass speaker. Use 4K pass-through to connect your Blu-ray player or other UHD device to the Samsung three-channel soundbar for stunning multi-channel audio and a clear picture.
The soundbar comes with the wires to connect it right?
It comes with a power cable and optical cable. It does not come with AUX or HDMI cable.

Enjoy your music while training with these Under Armour wireless headphones. These audio devices are sweat proof and have TwistLock technology to keep the earpieces in place through any workout. Designed by JBL, these Under Armour wireless headphones meet the highest audio standards and provide up to 8 hours of battery life to last many workouts.
How would these headphones work for a person that does boxing? Also could I swim with them on?
They would work great for boxing but they are sweat proof not water proof.
