Perfect for the Surface

I've tried them all: the Wedge, the Ultra Thin, the Arc, and several other Microsoft and Logitech versions as well - in both Bluetooth and dongle receiver styles. They've all fallen short in one respect or another... except this one. Perfect!!! Microsoft finally got it right.

Quick Solution

It seems that the need to save, store, and refresh information is never ending. I got this drive to save data to my safety deposit box. Some of the older boxes are very narrow, and not wide enough for an external drive, even the smaller ones. This drive fits in, no problem. It's a great way to store inventory photos and financial data.

Love it even though purple isn't my favorite color

The heat settings are perfect. It helps me guard against frying my hair with a super hot blow drying. It's lightweight and more compact that most full size blowers. I don't feel like I'm holding some unwieldly item in the air. What I love most is the retractable cord. It retracts quickly and smoothly without snapping or whipping the cord around. Perfect. Purple isn't my favorite color, but I'm so happy with this that doesn't even seem to matter.

Love the quality & color enough to keep! Runs big.
on September 4, 2016

Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased two of these same bands in different colors. I have the same problem with this one that I had with the other one that I just wrote a review on. I will repeat the comment here since it still holds true. I kept the first one, and I'll keep this one because the quality and color is excellent. Well worth putting up with the band having so much extra strap when fastened.
Here's the review I wrote for the other one, exactly the same in a darker brown:
I have a woman's hand size that is larger than average. That means I always have to purchase 'large' in gloves. My hands wouldn't look very well in a hand lotion commercial. They are just, well, bigger than most.
Likewise, my wrist is large. Those solid circle 'bangle' bracelets haven't fit me since I was a child. My problem with watch bands is that they are often not large enough. In some brands I even have to take a man's size.
The leather and quality of stitching on this band is great. The color is rich looking. But it's so large! I am wearing it on the last (smallest circumference) hole. My guess is that for anyone with a small wrist, this band won't work at all. For anyone with a wrist that's just a bit over average, it will work, but with extra strap to tuck in the loops.

So many third party accessories, when connected, pop up a warning that the accessories is not certified by Apple to work. No so with this small piece. It works without the pop-up!

Best in its Category
on September 4, 2016
Posted by: jlivar
Verified Purchase:Yes
There are several companies that make this style of multiple-device charging stations, and I have them all. They all come close, but ultimately fail me because the dividers are too flimsy, the base lacks stability, the dividers are not tall enough to accommodate larger devices like an ipad, etc. But this one by Atomi scores high marks on all those concerns. I charge both iPhone and Android devices in mine. Nothing tips, nothing is at risk. The only improvement I could wish for is that they made one that hold 6 devices, not just 4. I have my cell phone, a small ipod for workouts, a Kindle reader, an iPad mini, and an iPad. This means I have to rotate devices on the charger. A larger version would be perfect for me. But I wouldn't trade this one for any of the others.

Just as good as WD at a better price
on August 7, 2016
Posted by: jlivar
Verified Purchase:Yes
There seems to be a common perception that Western Digital reigns as the best in hard drives. I would never say Western Digital are anything but great. But my point here is that they aren't alone in that status. I have used Seagate along side Western Digital for years with never a single issue. I've had failures on each side, equally. I've had durability on each side, equally. The one difference? Price. And Seagate wins out on that criteria.

The color really isn't red
on July 9, 2016
Posted by: jlivar
Verified Purchase:Yes
I wondered why this band - only in red - was on sale. None of the other colors this band comes in were also on sale. Just the red one. I figured out why... not too many people want a bright red watch band. Well, surprise! It's not really red! It's more like a brown with a deep red color. In other words, don't think red like a coca cola can. Think red like like a deep chestnut or the deep color of an Irish Setter.

Reasonable price for good quality
on July 9, 2016
Posted by: jlivar
Verified Purchase:Yes
Leather bands can cost a sky rocket price, and I'm suspicious about the quality when the price on any band seems reasonable. The Modal band is a good price without sacrificing the quality. I've worn mine every day for 3 months now and the band is showing no wear at all. Very satisfied.

Amazon Fire Tablet: Enjoy a host of multimedia with this Amazon Fire tablet. Its 7-inch IPS display delivers 1024 x 600 resolution, and its 1.3GHz quad-core processor gives it the power you need. Front and rear cameras add versatility. This Amazon Fire tablet lets you surf the web, read or watch videos for up to 7 hours on a single charge.
 

We have a situation where there is no camera allowed. Can the camera be disabled?

I'm sure there is a way, technically, to disable the camera. But any person or place that restricts the environment to 'no camera' status is not going to permit any device that has a physical camera simply because a disabled camera could be readily and discretely enabled once on the premises. Every place I've been at which does not allow cameras have required cell phones, tablets, notebook computers, and actual cameras be left in vehicles, checked into a locker - or better yet, not brought along at all.
