Now I have a Tap, too
on June 6, 2016
Posted by: jlivar
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have the Echo and a Dot and now the Tap, too. My only issue with the Tap is that I got it after the Echo. This means that by the time I got the Tab, I was already used to just calling out commands or questions to my Echo. Of course with the Tap you have to physically get up and touch the Tap. I think if I had first started out with the Tap and having to touch it, it wouldn't be so difficult now for me remember to tap the Tap. But it is a habit to just call out now. So I wish I'd gotten the Tap first and then had graduated to the Echo. Try the Tap first. You might decide you don't even need an Echo. You definitely won't be disappointed !!

This is the best bumper guard
on June 6, 2016
Posted by: jlivar
Verified Purchase:Yes
This bumper guard is the one that most fully encircles the screen and causes the smallest problem with my Zagg screen protector. Other bumpers expose the edge of the screen protector and even promote the edge of the screen protector catching on things. I never before realized how many times my watch was bumped and grazed until I saw the beating my screen protector takes. This bumper guard isn't perfect by a long shot, but it is the best one out there at the moment. And I've tried them all!

Ink is fine, but what I just hate is that....
on June 6, 2016
Posted by: jlivar
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm angry that I have to keep color ink in the printer in order to print in just black. The color ink is hardly ever used and yet I'm forced to keep those cartridges in place. Eventually the ink seems to evaporate and I've spent my money on nothing. I've lost nearly all respect for manufacturers of printers. I recommend this to a friend based only on the fast drying characteristic of the ink.

Watch is ok - but about the band....
on June 6, 2016
Posted by: jlivar
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Apple watch is ok, especially if it's important to you that you wear the Apple brand. I care more about what the watch offers than the name is wears, so I'm not as taken with the watch. I have a Pebble and given the price difference, I expected a whole lot more from the Apple watch than it has delivered. The Pebble Time goes for 10 days on a single charge. The Apple watch has to be charged every night. The Pebble Time is waterproof even snorkeling! The Apple watch had a spasm when I got drenched in a downpour - it survived but only after drying out over 2 days' time. Since work pays for my wearables, I got the gold Apple Watch which wasn't available when they first came out. The band is a red/yellow blend with the colors reversed on the backside. I was told I could reverse the band which was good news for me since I like the reverse side of the band better. But alas I discovered when I got home to switch the band around that it CANNOT be reversed. Best Buy even showed it reversed in the display case. Just know that you can't actually wear it reversed.... the clasp bucket slider won't work that way. So I'm stuck with the band side up that I really don't care for. One star off for Apple not allowing the band to be reversible and one star off for poor battery life and high sensitivity to water on the watch. Geez Apple - can't you give us a bit more for all the bucks we have to spend on your products?

Protect the face of your Apple Watch with this CandyShell Fit case. Its raised bezel gives you full access to your device's touch screen while shielding it from any impacts. This CandyShell Fit case has two layers of cushioning with a soft layer inside the tough, hard exterior and is easy to install.

Works the best of the many I've tried.

The problem is with the Zagg Screen Protector that I put on my watch. I'm convinced I need it, but I also want a bumper guard around my Apple Watch. You have to be very careful to seat the bumper guard over the corners so the edges of the screen protector are under the bumper guard. Once you know to do this, your screen protector and bumper guard will work well together.

Reliable - Works Well

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a SanDisk product and like other SanDisk products that I've come to rely on, this one does not disappoint. It is quality-built. Nothing plastic-y. Feels solid in the hand. The connection is tight. Speeds are fine. Type C is coming - so I'm prepared when I find it on newer equipment.

Great even if it took me longer than 3 minutes....

Verified Purchase:Yes
The package says it requires no special tools. True.
The package says it can be installed in a handful of minutes. Well, not my experience. But, that said, it wasn't just horrible. I'd figure maybe 20 minutes if you read instructions.
The package says I'll be very satisfied. True. I definitely am!

Came back to get another

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have this same product in the 32 gig size and love it some much I came back to get another. All the 32 gigs were gone, but I spotted a 64 gig and grabbed it. The bright red color makes it easy to see so I'm less likely to lose it. If I drop it, I can pick it right up. I was on a bus when I dropped it and it rolled under another seat. I spotted it immediately against the black floor - which I couldn't have done had it been black itself - and was able to immediately retrieve it. Can't beat that!

Works and looks fine

What can I say about this cable? I expect it to work. It does. I expect it to look, well, good. I don't want some weird punk color. And the color blue is fine. The length is what was advertised on the package. So I'm happy with this product and have no complaints. Price made is a sweet deal.

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.
