My previous "protection" for my iPad was a keyboard that magnetically attaches to the front of the iPad, leaving the back completely exposed. It serves its purpose as a Bluetooth keyboard, but offers little protection. I got this for travelling purposes, and it works great.

Win-win situation :) You get the same iTunes card you get anywhere else, but if you're a My Best Buy member, it adds points for spending that money, which will go toward rewards... win-win.

These dudes... hahaha

It's always hard to top the original movie when they make sequels, especially when it's a classic, like the original Dumb and Dumber. A lot of sequels like this would fail, but this one didn't. It's actually much better than I was expecting. This one is similar to the first one in a lot of ways, which I enjoyed, and some people didn't as much. They didn't use the same jokes, but there were several instances where they played off of jokes from the first movie, which was really funny to me. There are also plenty of hilarious moments that aren't related to the original. These guys are great as Harry and Lloyd. Considering how Jim Carrey has always acted, I think his Dumb and Dumber character is his most natural character that he's played haha... Very funny movie, in my opinion.

Very solid, reliable, and fast external hard drive
on June 8, 2015

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've used a few different kinds of external drives over the past several years. I can say with 100% certainty that the Western Digital My Book drives are clearly on another level, all things considered. I have two connected right now (the 4TB one that I'm 'reviewing', and another 2TB one that I've had for a long time now). They run fast for external drives (faster than the others I've used), and I've never had a single problem with ANY Western Digital drive I've owned, which is at least 6-- the two mentioned above, another older external drive that I'm not using now, two in laptops, and another WD laptop drive that I put in my old PS3. None of them have ever had any issues at all. If you need an external hard drive, this is where it's at... and the price is great, usually right around the same price as a lot of lower quality drives.
*Note- As of right now (June 8, 2015), value-wise, your best bet is to get a 4TB hard drive, unless that's not anywhere near the capacity you're looking for. It changes from time to time, but when I purchased this one, I compared several models (2TB, 4TB, 6TB, and possibly more-- I can't remember for sure), and looked at prices to determine which one was the best value, per gigabyte. I figured the 6TB would come out on top, but right now, the 4TB ones are cheaper per GB than any other model. Again though, that tends to change over time, so if that's something you're interested in taking advantage of, I'd compare them again when buying one.

Cards work, all stars taken off due to EA greed
on January 17, 2015
Posted by: Dro104
from Alabama
Verified Purchase:Yes
So, I rated this 2 stars because the cards work (scratch the stuff off, enter the key, have money on account), and it has nothing to do with Best Buy or anything, but Electronic Arts (EA), which runs Origin, is a sorry, low-down company... I bought a $60 card, and easily added it to my EA/Origin account. Here's my issue (and the more I think about it, the more I want to rate this product 1 star)... I've used Steam for years if I'm buying a computer game. Steam also has pre-paid cards like this, in several different denominations. Most brand new AAA title games cost $59.99 (a few dollars over $60 after tax). On Steam, you can put a (for example) $50 card on your account, and if you want a $60+ game, when you check out you can apply that $50 to the total, and pay the remainder with a credit card or PayPal, or whatever. Simple. Until I dealt with this scenario with EA/Origin, I couldn't imagine any company doing it differently. Well, that thought was wrong.
A game came out recently on Origin that I'd like to have. It's an EA game, so it hasn't made it to Steam yet. It's a new, major franchise game, so it currently costs $59.99 plus tax. So I grabbed a $60 Origin card and planned on getting the game from Origin as soon as I got back home. After adding the $60 to my account, I selected the game, and went to check out. Obviously I knew I'd have to still pay a few dollars on top of that to cover tax. The problem is that EA is such a greedy, sorry company, my plan of buying the game like that (like you'd buy anything ANYWHERE ELSE if you had a gift card to apply to the total) didn't work. If you buy a game from EA on Origin, and you use a pre-existing balance on your account (like you have when you add one of these cards to your account) to make a purchase, that's all you can use. To make it more clear, I put the $60 card on my account, tried to buy the game (which was approx. $62 after tax) by applying the $60, and then paying the balance with my already-on-file credit card... NOPE! I couldn't do it like that. On Origin, you can't use a gift card unless the card covers the ENTIRE amount of what you're buying. Since I was $2 short, my options were to just leave the $60 in my account and pay for the whole game with my credit card, or go buy another Origin card to add to my account, so the entire price would be covered by my account balance.
This is a completely blatant and underhanded way to squeeze their customers out of every dollar they can. Think about it... they sell $60 cards (and a couple of other amounts) KNOWING that after tax their $59.99 games will cost just over $60. Then they won't let you use your gift card/account balance in conjunction with another form of payment, unlike literally every other company, online or not, that I can think of. It's an extremely pathetic tactic that I hope somehow costs them drastically in the long run. So now I sit, about 2 months after I bought the $60 card, and I still don't have the game I got it for. I've spent plenty of money on Steam since then, but not a single penny on Origin. I'm waiting on the price to drop on that game, then I'll buy it with my balance. I'll never add another card to Origin though, and honestly, this has turned me off so much toward EA, I'll avoid them as much as possible from now on.
IF AN EA EXEC, OR WHATEVER, HAPPENS TO SOMEHOW SEE THIS... THAT "POLICY" I DESCRIBED ABOVE WILL COST YOU. EVEN IF I'M THE ONLY PERSON IN THE WORLD THAT CARES, I'M ALREADY WAITING TO BUY THAT GAME FOR LESS, INSTEAD OF THE $60+ I WAS GOING TO SPEND, AND I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE RANDOM GAMES I'VE BOUGHT IN THE PAST WITH THE 'EA' LOGO ON IT WILL GET PASSED BY FOR SOMETHING ELSE FROM NOW ON. I'VE ALWAYS SEEN PEOPLE SAYING EA IS GREEDY AND WORTHLESS, AND I ALWAYS ASSUMED IT WAS JUST TYPICAL HATERS. CONGRATS THOUGH EA, YOU JUST PROVED THEM RIGHT.

Great, loud sound in a small package
on January 17, 2015
Posted by: Dro104
from Alabama
Verified Purchase:Yes
Prior to purchasing the JBL Flip 2, I was hesitant about spending money on a wireless, bluetooth speaker at all. I bought some random, off-brand speaker a while back, and it was horrible. It wouldn't stay connected, and when it did, the sound quality was very poor, with a constant static/buzz-type noise. So I was hesitant to spend money on another bluetooth speaker... I did though, and I couldn't be happier with this purchase. The Flip 2 is a very compact speaker, but it sounds 10 times bigger than it looks. It can be turned up really loud, and the sound quality doesn't suffer at all. It doesn't have bass that knocks pictures off the walls like a 15" subwoofer, but the bass does sound great, and is very impressive considering the size of the speaker. I've used this speaker quite a bit since I bought it, and NOT ONCE has the connection dropped or had any problems at all. And the Flip 2 is easy to take along wherever you go with it's small size and nice, sturdy little case to carry it in. Overall, this speaker has exceeded every expectation I had for it by a HUGE margin. A+

I started this movie with expectations of a couple of cheap laughs, and nothing more. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised at how much I actually enjoyed the movie. I tend to find humor in everything, and I love comedies, and this movie was right up my alley.

Amazing sound with strong pricepoint
on October 25, 2014
Posted by: Dro104
from Alabama
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'll start by saying the overall spectrum of sound is probably better represented on most (not all) high-end, $400-$500 headphones-- Captain Obvious. Now that I've got that out of the way, on we go... The Skullcandy Crushers check in right at $100 at the time of this review. When you first put them on and turn on some music, the first thing you'll notice is the bass. These headphones have amazing, literally skull-rattling bass (which can be adjusted by a switch on the left earpiece). Even with the bass set on the halfway point, it feels like you're sitting in a car with a couple of 12" subs right behind your head. (I usually leave mine set at the third "click" up.) And, amazingly, the bass doesn't distort the highs and mids, which also sound really good. I had honestly always thought of Skullcandy as cheap stuff, but after purchasing this headset, and subsequently listening to a few other models, they seem to have found their stride. Being that the main "feature" of the Crushers is the insane bass, most people will probably compare them to Beats by Dre headphones. No doubt, the Pro and Studio Beats headphones sound great... and cost 3 times (or more) what the Crushers cost. In my non-professional opinion, these hold their own against the Beats headsets (and sound better than the cheaper Beats headsets- which are still more expensive than the Crushers). If you're looking for an affordable headset that has a great overall sound, and eardrum-busting bass (and they don't have to have that little "b" on the side), the Crushers are worth checking out, no doubt.

Great keyboard for anything really

I own several keyboards, and this is one of my favorites. It seems to be well made, and includes 2 USB ports on the keyboard. The keys are illuminated in several separate zones, and there are limitless color combinations. I use this when recording gaming (or any) videos. The keys aren't "clicky" like mechanical keys, and that is good when recording videos. Overall, a great keyboard that's not as expensive as others of it's caliber.

Is this Mechanical?

Even though I'm pretty sure it is, one of the reviews said otherwise.
The SteelSeries Apex is not mechanical. I usually prefer mechanical keyboards, but I use an Apex fairly often (I tend to rotate through keyboards, swapping between the few I have occasionally). Despite seeing several complaints about it, I actually really like it. It's comfortable to me, and it's been used a lot, and never had a single problem. But, to answer your question, it's not mechanical. It has rubber dome keys.

GAMING PC

hi admin....

please suggest me best gaming configuration
intel processor i3 or i5 4th gen
motherboard- which 1 ??
ram 2x4gb or 2x3gb
graphics card- which 1 ??
power supply..
Depends on what your primary use for the computer will be. For gaming, I'd say i5 CPU (unless you can get an i7) with a good clock speed (probably at least 3GHz; around 4GHz, even better). Not a motherboard expert, but I have a Gigabyte X79- something, and it works great. I've had an Asus motherboard that was good too. Where my current one is a X79, I think Z87 is newer (?). I'd go with at least 8GB of RAM (2x4GB). On the graphics card, it just depends on if you want to spend less now, and have to upgrade sooner, or spend a little more now, and not worry about having to upgrade soon. NVIDIA GeForce GTX cards are good, and the model numbers tell you info about the card. The first 2 numbers are what you should look at mainly...(Ex.) GTX 670 = (6)- Generation/how long ago the card was made (GTX 900 series just came out, so the GTX 670 would be 3 generations old (not a huge deal). The second number is most important. It indicates the power/capability of the card. So, that GTX 670 above would be pretty good (with the 7 in the middle). I'm using a GTX 780 right now, but I have another computer that has a GTX 555, and it still runs everything (although I can't max the graphics settings out like I can with the GTX 780). The power supply depends on what you get in the other categories you listed... i5 CPU, GTX 670 (example again), and 8 GB RAM, a 600W-700W power supply should be more than enough. Hope that helps some.

Why are batteries included

What are the batteries for? None of the other headphones mention batteries for anything.
I believe the batteries are to power the miniature bass cannons inside these headphones. I think each earpiece has 2 separate drivers (subs) inside them, and they produce head-pounding bass. I guess they might need a little extra juice... And there is no "ON/OFF" switch. They automatically power off when you unplug them from the source.
