Got What I Paid For?

I originally saw this item for $9.  I bought it when I received notification that the price had gone down to under $1.  I'm glad I didn't pay $9 for it.  The case is cheaply made.  The excess seams from the mould process are still on the item.  The graphics are blurry.


Works excellent for the price

The sound is amazing, and easy to work. Bluetooth works amazing when talking to friends. Very light weight.This is an awesome product for the price. I would recommend this to all my friends.


Avoid this one at all cost.

I purchased this phone with the hope that it would be a good alternative to two phones due to the dual SIM card feature. .The phone has been a major disappointment across the board. It is very difficult to make calls since the recipient  says it comes across as very chopped and broken up. Does not matter which SIM card or network is used or where you call from. Have tried it both here in US and in Germany. It is truly hopeless and useless..I have thought about putting up it for auction on one of the sites  but do not want to risk my good ratings.Was going to donate it to a domestic violence shelter but am worried that it would come across as chopped and fragmented in an emergency call situation..I purchased a dual SIM card LG phone through Amazon for around $25 and it is a power house. The reception and quality of the calls can not be beat.  If all you want to do is make calls that is your phone.Goes to show multi feature or high tech is not necessarily better.


Phone Broke

I felt like it was necessary to write this review as this product has been an awful experience.I got the phone in May 2013 and it crapped out on me this past weekend after barely 4 months of use. I protected the phone in an expensive Otterbox Defender Series case. The problem is the phone won't transmit my voice to the other end while talking on the phone. The other user only hears what sounds like a phone that has made a pocket dial and some one is walking with the phone in their pants instead of hearing my voice.Apart from the one way audio failure which is extremely frustrating, the phone can't be taken to Sprint for repair as it is a closed phone, the case cannot be open.No expandable SD card slot and the battery life is poor (probably because the screen is so big) are two big downers.Pros:+Vibrant OLED screen+Sleek sexy aluminum case+Beats Audio+Powerful Quad Core Processor+Awesome camera+HTC Live feed is pretty niceCons:-Phone won't transmit my voice when making calls. Shoddy hardware? Design or manufacturing defect?-Battery drains quickly throughout the day, will need a charge in the middle day if you use it constantly all morning if you want to use it for the rest of the day-NO EXPANDABLE MEMORY OR REPLACEABLE BATTERY!!-Can't remove cover to fix phonePhone broke so I am giving it one star. I expect better from a huge tech company. I am stuck in a contract with this poor performing phone for still over 1.5 years with Sprint. Even with their total protection plan it costs $150 to replace/file a claim


Very nice headset overall; don't like the button though

I've had this headset for a few days now, and so far it's been a good purchase.Positive:The headset is very lightweight and fits my larger-than-average ears quite well (much, much better than my old Motorola H500, which was too small).  The sound is loud and clear, and the range is adequate.Negative:Not a huge fan of the volume button.  It's actually a button (that you press to answer calls) and a rocker switch (that you use to adjust the volume) combined into one input device.  Perhaps I'll eventually get used to it, but I'm docking the unit a star until then.


Highly recommend!

Like----*Beautiful screen*Video playback/quality*Upgradeable battery (see below)*Ability to multitaskDon't Like----------*Short battery life*Difficulty formatting videos to play properly (I have it down now)*Sprint customer service is really bad*App store isn't very impressive at this point in timeConclusion----------This phone is fantastic. Despite some annoyances, I would buy this phone again in a heartbeat. It does everything I want it to, and once the App Store really gets going I'm going to be very happy. I recommend this phone to anyone who is looking for a smart phone with a physical keyboard, that can multitask, and is not on AT&T.; So far my coverage with Sprint has been great! Data downloads have been very fast, and I haven't had a single dropped call.


Bernard

What a nice guy, can I be your friend for a day, so you can buy me one to?I have researched and researched for Bluetooth ear piece and so much out there that narrows down to this one, your review is what will me want one.


Pretty good quality, but where is customer service/warranty support when needed?

I ordered these being that they had no reviews and took a chance on them since I got two HTC One M8's on the day of release (4/25/14) with a buy one get one free deal from VZW. Not bad quality, but it took a while to get the screen protectors applied right. I got a bubble on one that wasn't dust/dirt or air, so it appears one of the screen protectors was defective (probably had a slight imperfection that wasn't noticeable on the protective plastic). A second screen protector was applied perfectly.Quality of the screen protectors are high, so my issue isn't with quality, my issue is with that I couldn't find out how to contact customer support to get a replacement protector for the one with the bubble. I could care less if support is via email only, but there is not a website, phone number or email address anywhere on the package, Amazon's description or by searching Google. The screen protectors are as described with resisting fingerprints and smudges and being crystal clear. I would like a replacement if their customer service reads this.Overall a great product and I would recommend it.


Some thing that every one needs

I really like this watch I think every one should order it. I had a a little time on learning hhow to use it but once you do. You will wash you had order more.then  And I know I don't know how to spell any more. But thank you look forward to ordering mopre from you in the future.


Exceeds Expectations!

We backed the Limeade Blast L180X after we saw it on Kickstarter. It looked like a great product but we weren't sure how things would work out. The best side of the product is usually presented on Kickstarter and there are often delays in getting the products. We're excited to say that the Limeade has exceeded expectations AND was shipped to us in a very timely manner. These guys know what they're doing!The actual product has been nothing short of exceptional. It charged our iPhone 5's, iPad 2, and Samsung Galaxy S4 quickly and without issues. It is a good size and the adapter that provides the option of microUSB or 30-pin Apple adapter is fantastic. The LED lights that show how much charge is left is logical and convenient. It is heavier than I thought but still reasonable considering the amount of charge that it holds. The weight makes it a bit more difficult to carry around all the time, but there are smaller, lighter Limeade packs available. We didn't order the wall adapter with our package so it was a bit of an adventure to find one to recharge the Limeade.ProsCharges iPhone 5 and iPad 2 quickly and without issueGood sizemicroUSB/30 pin Adapter is convenientLED lights let you know when you need to think about recharging the LimeadeCons:Heavier than we thought, but there are smaller, lighter options available.


Decent Amplification

The AirCurve Play is s very simple, elegant desktop amplifier. For speakerphone and podcasts it's wonderful. It increases the volume without adding distortion. The fact that it does so without requiring power is convenient if you don't have any nearby electrical outlets at your desk. It accommodates the dock connector cable, which is certainly a bonus.The only downside is using it for music. This devices is not magical. It's a simple amplification chamber that uses the sound your internal speak would produce anyway. Because the iPhone's speaker is not really intended to be a stereo system there is a lot of missing bass, and a very tinny sound. For audio books, podcasts, and phone calls, this is perfectly fine. For listening to music, if you don't have other options, it's manageable. Just don't expect this to sound as good as a powered speaker dock, even of the low end variety.


Unu it was so fabulous?

This is the best of the portable power sources I've tried yet!  Charges up to 3 full charges ( as opposed to one) before recharging.  And the blue colors pretty awesome too


Hawaiian Flowers faceplate

This seemed like a pretty nice faceplate when we first received it, but, less than a month later it has already broken.  My daughter has to tape it to her phone.


So Perfect, So Inexpensive

Short review: It's cheap and it works.The details, if you want them:Sometimes I like to watch TV on the internet when I go to bed, but I don't want to keep the neighbors up.  The answer? Earphones, right?  Through trial and error I found I wanted/needed a mono earphone (because I found it uncomfortable to lay on one of the earphones, or have it dangling about).  I found earphones with fancy devices to attach it to your ear were uncomfortable for me.  As a  matter of fact many of the modern ear buds themselves were uncomfortable, I guess I must have small ear canals.  I went to a few stores (like radio shack, etc) looking for the oooold, white, plastic, simple, cone shaped mono earphones used with old transistor radios. No store I went to had them, so I was happy to find them on Amazon.  Plug it in to the computer, plug it in your ear, (it has a 6 foot cord)  and it works perfectly for less than 2 bucks (OK and S&H;).  Will it last for ever? Probably not, but it has held up well the last couple of months, and for the price I'm OK if I have to replace it once a year or so.


Very Good Phone with Very Few Faults

I've used the AT&t; Avail for a while now and can give a good review of it's quality and features. Just to give a bit of background, I've used iPhones and Samsungs for a while and can offer a good comparison.First, you're using the Android system and you'll have to decide for yourself if it's what you like, as opposed to Samsung and iPhone, which are quite different. Me personally, I like them all, but the Apple will have less customization, but beyond that, as a phone and PPA device, they all work very well. I would say, I give a slight edge to Android, but not enough to keep me from buying the others.Second, performance is the number one thing on most people's mind when they buy any phone, so here we go. Call quality is far above average. I've read about the crystal clear call quality of the iPhone 4S, but in use, this phone is as good or better. Seldom do I notice muffled voices of callers, and even then, I'm not sure they're not holding the phone too close or too far from their mouths. It's not something you can blame on the phone. The Avail has a more balanced sound, as opposed to the slightly tinny sound of an iPhone. If you like Samsung, you'll love the Avail, nuff said. The OS is snappy and there are no annoying lags. Moving around the system is both intuitive and easy. There's just not much to dislike about Android. You won't find any annoying omissions of features or weird menus here, all is as it should be. Android has some really cool apps and widgets to add to your phone, that make it easier to do some things, even though the standard way is surely nice, but you do have the option to change almost anything your heart's desire, not so with iPhone. So, in this respect, it is far ahead of Apple, but then again, the iPhone works fine too, so it's a small advantage, but noticeable.The Avail's call sound is capable of being quite loud, and even my hardness of hearing isn't a problem. The external speaker is adequately loud and very usable for speaker phone calls. I've used it often with not a single complaint. It's better than most by a long shot.Connectivity is pretty good really, with only a few dropped calls, which in most cases, I would say were dropped by the other phone I was talking to. Sometimes it's really hard to tell which phone actually pulled the plug on a call, so I've not experienced any more call problems than with any other phone. iPhone 3G may, and I say MAY have just slightly better connectivity, but I can't tell for sure, so the difference is not enough to get excited about.Web and appps are more easily and diverse on Android than Apple to my mind, but again, if you're a dyed in the wool iPhone user, then you like their apps and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. It all works about the same, it's just a bit different. No complaints here for the Avail.The Avail has a very, very nice touch screen system that is easily mastered and quite responsive without being prone to mistakes. It is really easy to type, and maneuver the phone and apps without making mistakes. You'll find no complaints here either. I have huge hands and can type text messages without making a single mistake most of the time. It's very well engineered in this respect. The screen on the Avail is 3.5" diagonal and very nice indeed. You'll see some reviews saying it lacks resolution, but you will NEVER see it when looking at the phone, it's simply beautiful, and text is crisp and sharp. I have no complaints at all with it. Viewing in direct sunlight is good, if not great, but highly usable for sure. One review I read said the Avail lacked auto brightness, but that is not true, it has it, and it's easily found and set, so I can't imagine where that came from, probably just a mistaken reviewer.The Avail has some nice features in addition to it's ordinary PPA device features. For one, voice control, similar to Apple's Siri, and it works just as well for me. Maybe I speak clearly or something, bu it seldom doesn't understand me. I even tried some mild curse words and it was able to understand them and enter them in text messages with the *** in the appropriate places, when you turn on the feature to mask known curse words in text. How cool is that? Voice calling is equally easy. It's a neat feature, and it works well for me, but I would guess it would respond to some voices and dialects differently, who knows.All in all the Avail is quite a phone. The neat thing is it's a Go Phone from AT&T; and it doesn't change your rate plan a bit, or even count as an upgrade, again really cool. I'm using mine on my regular rate plan. The Avail is made by ZTE, and I've had ZTE phones before, and find them very well made and of great quality. I did have a cheap, basic ZTE phone die on me, but I carried it at work and abused it unmercifully, so I doubt the phone was at fault, but who knows.If you're thinking about the latest phones, one word of caution for us men. Most of the latest batch of super phones are so large, you'll be stuck trying to find a way to carry them. I love how in computers we couldn't wait for large screens, then in phones it was to see how small they could make them and now we're trying to go large screen on them too. The Avail is about as large a phone as I'd want to carry on a daily basis. It is exactly the same size in all dimentions as the iPhone 3, they could be twins, so they're just the right balance between view-ability and carry-ability.Does the Avail have faults, yes, but they're common and minor. The screen smudges easily, but not a lot more than an iPhone, so no biggie, and it may be me. Other than that, I can't really think of anything that holds this phone back. I've tried everything on it, trying to complain, and it just does everything well.Day to day use of the Avail is quite nice, with no annoying things you must do to use it. Wake up, sleep, calls, texting and web are all easily done with no weird annoyances as with some phones. The Avail has not bad habits that I can find so far, and I've tried everything I can think of.I highly recommend the Avail, especially to those who're not lured by the latest hype of great phones. It does it all with little fanfare, and you'll love it. I can't think of a single thing that would keep this phone from getting 5-stars. Other phones my have more features, or bigger screens, or whatnot, but the Avail uses it's hardware nicely and does a fine job.EDITED REVIEW ADDITIONS:Now that I've had the phone for a while and have installed and uninstalled apps and played with it, I though I'd add some more to the review.First, battery life is only about average. When you do a lot it goes down fast. Who wouldn't have expected that? I have a pal with a Samsung SII and it literally eats it's battery before noon, so compared to it, the Avail is very good. Compared to an iPhone 4S, it's a bit worse, so it's average I guess.The OS is pretty fast and responsive on this phone, no huge lags at all. If you've used an iPhone 3G, then you know what lag is, this has none, as far as I can see, it's as good as the iPhone 4S in the speed category. Apps load and unload pretty fast, no complaints.The screen is nice and bright, I can see it in bright sunlight well and have no complaints. It is a beautiful display, if not the best, hi res out there.Pre-loaded apps are pretty good from At&T.; I use Places, Maps, QR scanner, Music player and all the utilities, so good choice At&t.; I haven't figured out what Data Balance is yet, but no biggie.One slight negative is the voice quality over the earphone. It's not bad, just a tad muffled, or rough, hard to describe. It's usually easily understood, but sometimes noticable. I often wonder if it's not the other phone I'm talking to, but it's something to be aware of. Not a huge negative, and certainly nothing to keep me from buying this phone. Loudspeaker is quite good and easily understood, very usable for phone calls. I rate it far above most of the phones I've tried. Both the earphone and speaker have plenty of volume, which is nice for a 'hard of hearing' guy like me.Internal storage could be a problem on the avail if you're into tons of apps. I've got a bunch on mine right now and have around 27-35mb free. There's plenty of memory to run apps, but internal storage is very close. You can put a lot of apps on your SD card, but most of the really good, useful apps need phone storage to work properly. I think most users will be fine, but the real app hungry folks, will need to pick and choose. As I said, I have a bunch on mine, but any more and I'll have to start removing some. The phone is still very useful and I really didn't leave much off of mine, but again, it's something to be aware of. I guess this is how you save money. This would definitely not stop me from buying or using the Avail.Overall, this is a fine phone. I don't know who posted they didn't need a data plan, but you do with At&t;, but, hey, that's what a smartphone does! The Avail does everytihng well without costing you your kids college money to do it. Unless you just have to have the latest, greatest smartphone, (and there's certainly nothing wrong with that!), then the Avail is a good option. It has no glaring faults, and actually is surprising in it's ability to perform for such a low cost. I'd love to have an iPhone, but the more I use the Avail, the more I wonder what it would do that this one won't.


Attracted to the phone because of it's size and slim-ness, but very dissapointed

I bought this phone from Cingular, and while I haven't had any major problems with the carrier, the phone is too fragile for everyday use. I've taken good care of this phone and keep it in a leather case, but it's already acting up. The phone randomly shuts off, especially during calls, even though the battery is charged. It seems as if the battery is secure in it's compartment, so I can't figure out what is wrong with it, beside the fact it's just a poorly designed phone. If size is what you're looking for in a phone, I'd look elsewhere.


Great but one thing..

The mount blocks the headphone jack!If you like to listen to music or anything from your phone through an auxiliary cable, I recommend NOT getting this.  The bottom portion of the mount (when in portrait mode) completely blocks the iPhone headphone jack... (I have the iPhone 5S)Other than that, it fits on my air vent well (Nissan Sentra) and is easy to use. It could fit any phone, not just the iPhone.I just can't get it to securely hold on to my phone when the auxiliary cable is plugged into my phone...


Good for Galaxy S2. Bad connection in adapter for note 2/S3

The item arrived in time. I connected it and my note 2 did not recognize it. I tried it on an S2 and it worked right away. I tried with note 2 and it showed connected to HDMI cable after a few minutes and then disconnected again several times. I found out that the adapter for S3/note 2 had a bad connection. I do not want to go through the hassle of returning it, so I just sold it to a friend who has a S2 and ordered a new one, at a lower price, from a different seller.


Great phone

very good phone . wish it was a bit brighter . very good phone for gamer .would recommend .


Useless tools

My iPod Touch's battary died after 1 year use. This product seemed a good deal to me. But when I tried to use those tools that came with the battary to open my iTouch 3G, they were no better than my fingernails. And what else? My iTouch's touch screen stopped working. I am totally agree with the other reviewer. This product is definitely not worth a try. It's a disaster!!!!!!


Good concept, stylish aesthetics, but some issues

This is one of the new cases sporting Pong technology.  According to the manufacturer, the Pong technology reduces radiation by a substantial amount, and directs it out the back of the phone, away from your head.The instructions say that if you wear the phone on your body (e.g. in a pocket), to turn the screen side toward you.  Since most of us do carry our phones in a pocket, I hope that this "fix" is true, and that the concept really works just the same way when the phone is worn on the body.I can't really review whether the Pong technology has worked, of course, but no brain cancer so far (knock on wood, ha).  I'll just say 5/5 on this part, and hope that the independent lab tests are truthful.As for the case design and manufacturing, I do have a vew issues that keep this from being a great case.1)  Screen-side lip: the lip of the case rises around 1/3 of an inch off the screen on the sides, and comes in all the way to the actual screen (as opposed to the built-in bevel).  This means that when dragging items to the edge of the screen, tapping items near the edge, and typing near the edge, you end up with an awful lot of errors.  It's pretty annoying and makes a considerable difference in an every-day sort of way.2) Lower lip near button - The strip of rubber that's located just under the Home button (and above the USB connector) is very flimsy and loose.  Bad design/testing here.  It wobbles and feels weak, almost like a loose piece of skin, anytime you touch it (which you do, often, since it's near the home button).  It should be tout and strong.  Makes the case feel cheap.  Sometimes "catches" your finger/hand and collapses/folds downwards away from the case.3) Volume/vibrate button - a lesser issue that the previous two, but this button is a bit difficult to reach.Style - pretty simple on the front and sides.  The back has a neat appearance that's among the best I've seen.  Sort of stylish and slightly edgy, while remaining sophisticated and solid looking.All in all, a good case, and potentially a really great asset to have, health-wise, if the claims about reducing SARs are correct.  That said, the case, while aesthetically pleasing, does not feel well-made, and leads me to think that perhaps a 2nd or 3rd generation Pong case will do the trick.


Fake again,

This appears to be another Fake Samsung product.  it did not have the packaging/holographic markings I would expect to find.  As a MHL 2.0 product it should allow charging of the MHL 2.0 compatible phone while in use,  (Samsung S4) and it does not. Disappointed because both times I have ordered this product through Amazon the products have been fake and defective.


BUY THIS IF YOU WANT TO KEEP A STOCK LOOK W/ ADDED PROTECTION!

The white rubber (or whatever material) which surrounds the phone feels solid and durable and will definitely protect from a fall. The white rubber perfectly and evenly covers the material before the screen and top portion of the ONE X. The grips on the side of the protector really adds a good feel too. The matte see through back feels solid and durable. The HTC, Beats and recycling logos are clearly visible. There is one cut out for the camera and flash which is perfectly aligned and also serves as a protector. The speaker cut out is perfectly symmetrical and perfect spacing all around. The buttons for the power and the volume rocker feel a little hard to push, but hopefully will 'loosen' up with time. Even if the remain hard to push, its not something to complain about. The microphone cut out is not centered, but is not blocked by the white rubber, but is an irrelevant "flaw". The cutout for the micro usb is perfectly cut out and even fits the less slim micro usb cables(I'm using one). The headphone cut out is perfect too, but the tiny hole next to it is ALMOST touching the rubber, but is clearly not. And the MOST IMPORTANT THING, this case adds very little width to the phone and is still very slim and it fits VERY SNUG, which is a excellent thing.


Does not fit iPhone 4

I ordered this as a b-day gift for my mother, who is also a new iPhone owner. I was disappointed when she told me that it unfortunately did not fit her iPhone 4. What a bummer! The description says it fits both AT&T & Verizon. It did not fit my mother's Verison iPhone 4. The description does not need to say it fits if it doesn't.


Fake

This thing aint the real Samsung Galaxy S4  it came with no battery and it looks like an imitation device.


Leather melts off!

This case is probably one of the sleekest looking I have seen and has done a great job protecting my iPhone, but I've owned it now for a year and finally have had to replace it because the leather portion literally melts off when it gets hot. The leather piece is like a sticker with a glue backing. You can literally peel it right off after it's been sitting in your car for 10 minutes in a hot day or in your bag by the pool. Not good.


NO GOOD

Beware that this battery will not work. If you want extended battery life try buying thr motorola BR-50 battery... Hint if the color of the battery is an off color example: if the generic battery is dark gray and the other battery that you buy from wirefly is a lighter gray then be aware that the battery is not real and is a fake.. Dont buy this product..


High Hopes Dashed

I ordered three of these, one for each vehicle, after reading lots of good reviews.  My experience however was disappointing.  Two of the three chargers didn't work at all.  One appears to work just fine... but given the other two were dead, I asked to return the entire order since I didn't trust the third one to last long.  The seller immediately refunded my purchase (great service), so now I'm ordering another product.  We'll see how that one works out.


Quality protection for phone

The red Body Glove case for the LG C395 is quality made.  Easy installation, exceptional fit, and trusted protection in the event of a "droppage".  I think it would meet the needs of all owners of the Xpression.


Galaxy Owners - You Have A Winner!

Finally "Galaxy S" or "Galaxy Note" owners have their counterpart to any of the "iHome" or "iPhone" docking systems.  This is a beauty.  Perfectly sized for the desktop, it is simple and clean.  Your Phone or Note fits the proprietary male plug (Micro USB Jack Connector) easily and there are four different cradles to attach to your gdock depending on what device you have.The stereo speakers (3" each) have an arguably better sound (both treble, midrange and bass) than the iHome desktops and I own two.  It matches the sound of theGrace Digital MatchStick (GDI-GFD7200) Charging Speaker Dock for Kindle Fire - Portrait and Landscape Modesin that department.  There is a wafer thin remote that only adjusts the volume, bass, treble and EQ (resets to factory equalizer setting) as well as the power.  The back of the gdock has two Bass Ports and that is what gives it such a strong firm bass.  You'll want these exposed in the back and not on the bottom of the unit.The gdock is attractively sleek with a black fabric finish.  The docks rotate and lock from 38 degrees to 50 degrees depending on how you want your device to look.  You can even choose two positions to set your entire gdock - although it's only a matter of an inch or two differences.  The power light is a tiny blue LED and is hard to see unless it is very dark.The power connector is one of those double cables with a black box the size of a cigarette case, but that's fairly minor.  You can charge your device and battery when the gdock is plugged into a wall source, but it won't charge your device (phone) from just the gdock battery.  The back has a battery door for the OPTIONAL lithium battery which is sold separately.  I did not get one, but it is supposed to last up to six hours.If you want to plug another device into your gdock, there is the standard 3.5mm insert in the back.  An Aux-In cable is supplied for this.The price is comparable to any other docking units on the market, but I think the selling point for the gdock is the multiple cradles included and the absolutely great sound.  Mind you, it's not really loud, but plenty for any room.  By the way, if you want an alarm clock, just use your Galaxy phone.Grace Digital Inc. was kind enough to supply a unit for review.


I'm rating the phone - not the seller, service, etc.

This was the first and last Blackberry I will ever use. It's the biggest piece of crap out there. I'm sure there are Blackberry models that are better but I have no desire to find out. Maybe back in its day, this was something, I don't know. I owned it for about 4 months and couldn't stand it. The keys are small and slippery and have a slight angle, half of them to the left and the other half to the right. I have never had trouble typing on a QWERTY key board but this was impossible. 99% of the time I would hit the key next to it or both together. It severely slowed down typing speed because I always had to go back and correct. The screen is super small. It was very hard to read email and attachments. Browsing the web was just a waste of time because of its slowness and tendency to lock up, and don't get me started on rebooting the phone. It took around 5 minutes to restart. This may be normal for a Blackberry but seriously? The call quality was equally bad, especially when using the speaker. Never heard more crackling and distortion. I hated this phone so badly, that every time I hear the word 'Blackberry' my hair stands up! I'll stick with Apple or Samsung.


bought the wrong item

I thought I was buying my son a wireless headset for xbox. I bought the wrong item and was told they would not except returns unless something was defective with merchandise. So I am stuck with this.


RAZR V3

I like the phone.  It's designed to be functional and beautiful at the same time, the best of both worlds.  The problem is that the operation manual should be more detailed.  It barely goes beyond turning the phone on and making a call.


LaCrosse Cust. Svc. says NO to using this adapter with their BC1000

I should qualify my 1-star by stating that my irritation isn't aimed at the product itself - the adapter looks like it is well made and most likely delivers the voltage and current that it claims to.  I haven't hooked it up to an oscilloscope to look at the output YET.My problem here is that the adapter was marketed either by Amazon or by the seller as being for the LaCrosse BC1000 charger/analyzer.  It *might* even work for that purpose, but checking with LaCrosse, I got an email back from their Customer Service that says:"With regard to the following from your email: "If you could look further into the AccuPower Car adapter or please refer me to a car adapter of your own for the BC1000"Unfortunately, there are no car adapaters that can be advised for use with the BC1000 as it is intended for home/standard outlet use. Our BC500 model is designed with car use in mind, and can also work at home. Again, with regard to "AccuPower", we have no information on that brand. You noted a BC800 and information attained from an Austrailian source. There are variant models of our product that are produced for areas outside of North America. The BC800 would be one of these. Thank you."Obviously, somebody somehow somewhere made a connection between this adapter and the LaCrosse equipment *apparently* without bothering to ask LaCrosse.  That's a bad idea - without some coordination there could be issues with the adapter causing damage to the charger and from a warranty perspective, such use probably voids the warranty.A side note:  The AccuPower charger/analyzer that was listed, IQ328, sure looks a lot and by its Owners Manual, operates a lot like the LaCrosse BC1000.  Considering the way that so much consumer electronics 'comes from the same factory with different names on it' who knows, they could come off virtually the same assembly line.  I have run into cases where this is literally true with some Amateur Radio equipment.If anyone has any verifiable knowledge of this being the case with the LaCrosse and AccuPower equipment, please follow up to my review and we can check back with both LaCrosse and AccuPower customer service and try and nail this down with regard to using the car adapter.


not what I thought it was

I don't use it in my drawer it's not what I thought it was I guess you could say it was a misunderstanding so really not there fault but a waste of money on my end


The Medal Plate Does not Have the Button Circuits

Hello,Product shipped well and was reasonably priced, but it is missing the button "circuitry" and therefore will not work unless you remove the medal plate from the new mid frame and replace it with the "stuff" from the old mid frame.  The new mid frame contains the medal piece, but it is misleading in that it does not have the button "circuitry".  Please realize this before finishing the repair.  I have to order all parts again because of this.


Totalmente satisfecho con la compra!

Excelente telefono, muy funcional, llegò a Venezuela en buenas condiciones y con todos sus accesorios, totalmente nuevo, con Digitel solo trabaja en EDGE, levanta 3G con Movistar, lo recomiendo ampliamente, satisfecho!


Skinomi screen protector

Screen protector seems well made and looks great.  Takes a day or so to settle with the air bubbles but looks pretty flawless after that.  Very satisfied and buy product again in the future.  Thanks!


luxurious case

This case not only make the phone look more luxurious but also gives it great protection against bumps and scratches. The leather feels good in hand and all ports can be accessed easily. A must buy for the Galaxy S3.


Handlebar Mount

I ride a Star Stratoliner with 2" handlebars and I had to use a heat gun and alternate screws to make this work on my bike.  Once mounted I really love the product it does as it states in the ad.


Good armband!

Good armband ! This armband is specialized for the M8, but my wife’s phone also can put inside it which is good. the tape is long enough, we can adjust the tape if we need. It’s comfortable armband tied on the arm.


Great Phone

I bought this phone for its long battery life and design. I have been very happy.I am not a power user of cell phone. I use only the basic features and found this phone very pratical and functional.The iTunes is also pretty cool.


Will not work if your phone has a case

Great item that I am pleased with. The thing that I wish was better is the construction of the phone charger. It is manufactured to fit a stock evo so if you have a case it will not fit and you will have to take your case off routinely to charge the phone. The other thing is that this device needs two charge cables if you want to charge your phone and spare battery at the same time. Otherwise it will only charge one or the other.


Worthless!!!

Though it was a great deal until i used it.  Took 9 hours to get to 55% charged and while using the cabel, the Ipad actually discharges more than the charge can keep up.  I bought this to use the device more than 3 ft from an outlet when needed.  I cannot warrant even bothering to keep this cableJunk, do not waste your money or time with this item. Move to a certified Apple cable.


Banging boom box

The best boom box ever own. I was a B boy in the 80's I wish I had this box to break n up rock with my crew. The quality, the sound, and looks is Banging!!!


Does not affect S-pen performance. Gets very dirty, quickly.

Compared to the screen protector I had on my old T959V, this one is very prone to getting fingerprinty, and oily residue. I use to clean my other phone with windex sprayed on cotton balls and a quick wipe, but this Spigen takes alot more elbow grease to clean, and I have to do it more often.It does the job, but for the higher price, I'd expect it to be a better fit and more user friendly.Bottom line, I'll make due but next time I'm in the market for a screen protector I'll avoid these.


quality product

I use this for my iPhone and iPad, this is a durable cord which works as described. I have bought many different cords for my iPad, most stop working quickly. This seems durable and still works well one month later.


doable case for its price

I purchased this case thinking it provided my HTC Evo extra protection. I was half right. The case does it physical purpose. My phone gets hot some times when I use the 3G internet and surf. After few weeks, I took out my phone and tried to clean its backside. I noticed that the black rubber on the cover has had stained the cover partially black. I tried to clean it off but it still has black imprint on the backside. The rubber is probably cheap synthetic rubber that is soften with the heat coming off from the phone. Ever since that, I have to put a lense cloth between my phone and the case.The leather started to rip and fall apart after less than 2 months of usage. I will use this case until I find a new, better case. I bought this for $9.47 (the slashed out original price was $39.99). And now it went down to $7.48. I did not think it was my money a bit due to its defects and damages that it has on my phone. One star was for its design. Without it, I would give it 2 stars. I DO NOT recommend this product.


Absolute Necessity for IPhone5

Have been using this case for about a week and it basically doubles the battery life on my iPhone5.Now I can get through an entire work day (about 12 hours) and still have enough power to last untilregular night time charging. It does what it claims to do at a better price point than the competitors.


It Works!

It works!  It works really well.It is still new so I can't speak to its longevity, but so far it has far exceeded expectations.I am using it with an iPod Classic.  I let the iPod battery run down almost completely, then plugged in the battery/charger.  I then watched three movies in a row (I'm talkin' serious eye strain here!). Video drains the iPod battery pretty quickly so I was somewhat surprised that the battery/charger could supply 6+ hours of video, and even more surprised when I uncoupled it and found that it had not only powered 6 hours of video, but given the iPod battery a full charge as well---and the indicator lights on the battery/charger showed it still had 3/4 of its own charge left!No instructions included with the unit, but it is pretty easy to figure out.  It charges from the same USB cord used to charge the iPod.If you spend much time far away from the nearest USB port or electrical outlet, but still want your tunes, this may be the answer.If it breaks down in a couple of weeks I'll let you know, but so far, so good.  Very good.


LOOK no further, cause this is the REAL deal!

This is simply a fantastic product. Installation was easy, if not immediately intuitive. I watched a couple of their youtube videos which had no audio and featured subtitles in Korean, which were of no great help. However, the video explanations themselves at least gave me an idea of what had to be done, and I managed to get the protector on the phone in just a minute or two. Once I had it on the device, I couldn't believe the clarity. It is completely invisible, and as a result the device and screen still retain their good looks. Additionally, it's not tacky or sticky at all - using the Swype input method with this thing seems even easier than it is on the glass screen. Your fingers truly do just glide across this material. I was also pleased that Realook threw in a protector for the rear-facing camera lens.I must say that i was also very impressed with Realook's service. They had some difficulty resolving my home address for some reason and promptly notified me of the problem. As soon as I sent then an alternate address - my office - I received confirmation of the item having shipped. I received it 2 days after ordering it, and that was with free shipping. Highly impressive.


Unhappy Purchaser

This keyboard does not work with my Blackberry.  After several frustrating tries, I gave up and tried to contact the supplier.  After repeated attempts, they sent an email duplicating info already in the instructions.  I have emailed both Amazon and the supplier to return this product, but so far, neither Amazon nor the supplier have responded to my request.  Needless to say, I am unhappy with both!


Love the phone but hate the side buttons

I've been wanting a nice phone with a touchscreen, but most of them require a two-year data plan. I don't text or search on the Internet with my cell phone. I just make phone calls. This is the ideal phone for me. It's easy to personalize and the sound quality is awesome. I only have three complaints. Although the touchscreen is wonderful, it can be very sensitive. It may just take some time to get used to it. The phone also takes too long to turn on, and sometimes I have to hold the button awhile before the phone will turn off. My chief complaint is the placement and sensitivity of the side buttons. I constantly hit the buttons when I'm talking on the phone. I could tolerate the other two issues, but the side button issue is a real nuisance. I still wouldn't give up the phone over that, however. I do love it! It's great for someone who doesn't want to pay for a data plan, but wants a good quality touchscreen phone.


Doesn't live up to the hype compared to UE Boom

Pros:Small sizeLooks really cool and aggressive (Fugoo Tough style)WeatherproofVery good sound qualitySpeakerphoneLots of accessories availableOmni-directional soundPaired easily with Ipod and DroidCons:Very priceyNot as loud as my inexpensive single bluetooth speakerCostly accessoriesI'll start off by saying that I've been waiting for this speaker since I saw all the CES reviews in January.  From everything I heard and saw in the video reviews, I thought this was FINALLY going to be THE speaker.  I waited what seemed an eternity for the 3/21 release date and then waited by the door today for my UPS man (who was 5 hours late)!  So, suffice it to say, I was anxious to put this speaker through the paces.Pairing was quick and easy.  The sound is one of the best I've heard from a speaker of this size.  I love the look and heavy duty feel!  So, why don't I like it?  The volume is way less than anticipated!  It definitely doesn't, ". . .deliver a clean 95 dB sound pressure level, filling large rooms and outdoor areas with rich immersive sound", as stated in their ads.  This speaker is perfect for a small office or desktop use but I wouldn't expect it to fill a large room or entertain outdoors.I have a Scosche BTSPK1 speaker  (about $40) that I have been using as my benchmark when I try other speakers (because it's the best combo of sound and volume I've found so far).  I put these two speakers head to head and the tiny, single speaker Scosche was consistently about 5db louder (that's quite a bit) than the Fugoo (measured from same location with the same music).  Admittedly, the Fugoo sounds better at low volumes but not nearly 200-dollars better!  I wanted something louder than my tiny Scosche, not bigger and quieter!I was under the impression that the Fugoo was being marketed to the active 20-30-something crowd who wanted something louder and better sounding than the competition.  This isn't it!  While the sound quality is very good, the volume is a real downer.  This speaker will not entertain a room-full of partying friends (unless they're not very talkative or the room is small).  Loud volume on the Fugoo is not loud at all and often gets very distorted.  When you're partying outside or in a room full of people, volume counts!  I didn't bother trying this outside because the inside volume was such a disappointment.Fugoo definitely has the right idea when it comes to low volume sound, style and portability but they've got to make it louder.  If this speaker was $100, I'd be giving it a 5-star rating, but when you hit $200, I raise the bar on my expectations.  I'll be returning this and hoping that their next generation of speakers picks up where this leaves off.UPDATE:I purchased the UE Boom speaker to replace this Fugoo.  I had debated between the two for a while before purchasing the Fugoo.  After the Fugoo failed so miserably at meeting my expectations, I purchased the UE Boom.  Now that I have the UE Boom, I don't think I'll be going back to a Fugoo.  If you're interested in a comparison, read on:I was expecting the Fugoo to win in every category of sound tests, from quality to volume.  Unfortunately, the Fugoo only shined in two categories:  style and sound at low to moderate volume.  High volume on the Fugoo was downright awful!At first look, the UE Boom is much smaller than expected - about the size of those larger energy drink cans with the bull on them.  It's slightly smaller than the Fugoo Tough.  Like the Fugoo, the UE Boom paired instantly with my iPod and Droid without any issue or delay.  As soon as the UE Boom paired, I was directed to download the UE Boom app which allows equalizer setup and dual speaker setup if you have two UE Booms.After hearing the disappointing low maximum volume on the Fugoo, I was shocked as I was blasted out of my seat with the UE Boom!  Impressive!  Make no mistake, the Boom will NOT replace a full home stereo setup but you can't beat the volume and sound for a tiny portable speaker!  The Fugoo was only impressive for entertaining me at my desk.The UE Boom has very good sound quality.  At low volume, I did like the Fugoo's sound a bit better - it was a tad more crisp and clear.  To be fair though, the UE Boom is no slouch in the sound quality department!  The Fugoo crashed hard at max volume . . .it became distorted and was not really good or desirable at full volume.  The UE Boom performs remarkably at max volume and slips only a bit . . .there is no distortion, only a slightly noticeable decrease in fullness on the UE Boom at max volume.The Fugoo is waterproof to 3ft.  The UE Boom is splash resistant only.In a dollar-for-dollar comparison, the UE Boom vs the Fugoo Tough, the UE Boom wins hands down!


Very well built and fast

Could not really ask for much more in a phone, look and feel is beautiful.If you are a heavy user get the Maxx, otherwise the battery on this is adequate.


Very Cool

This headset does its job. I purchased this headset to be used with myVIZIO XVT323SV 32-Inch Full HD 1080p LED LCD HDTV with VIA Internet Application, Black32-Inch TV knowing that the Bluetooth would probably not sync up due to Vizio proprietary **** and I was not disappointed. To cover the possibility I also purchased theBritelink (TM) Bluetooth Audio Transmitter: Portable, Bluetooth Music Transmitter for 3.5 mm Audio Devices Wireless Streaming (iPod,MP3,MP4,TV,media players...)and the"2 x RCA Male / 1 x 3.5mm Stereo Female, Y-Cable, 6 inch"to plug into the audio out jacks of the Vizio (works great).  I also use the Britelink (TM) Bluetooth Audio Transmitter at the gym to plug into the headset jacks on the elliptical or treadmill to listen to the TV or music (works great).  The headset is Bluetooth 2.1+EDR (A2DP/AVRCP) compatible and the Britelink Transmitter claims to be A2DP compatible.Calls are easily answered from my iPhone 3G, voice on both ends is good, music sounds good from the iPhone, TV sound is good at home and the gym.  Music and telephone controls all work as advertised for the iPhone.For the most part I hardly know that I am wearing this headset. Works super while walking, running, jogging. I have noticed that the music controls and my neck or chin have a conflict at times when my chin and right shoulder get close together which is slightly annoying but no big deal for me. I make sure to tuck the headset under my shirt to help avoid falling off while performing bench exercises."Noise Reduction" is about the same or maybe less than sticking your finger loosely in your ear.So far it has exceeded my expectations and I am ordering another for part of my son's Christmas (hope he doesn't read this and spoil the surprise).Update 9/16/2012 This product is still working great. Don't buy them if you are looking for noise reduction.Update 01/05/2012 Still an outstanding purchase. I bought one for my son and he loves it and recommended it to a friend who still comments on how great it is.Update 12/30/2013 Still can not say enough good about this product. I have several co-workers and folks at the gym that have bought this unit after seeing mine and all are very happy.


Awesome

I love this bluetooth, very small and fits in my ear perfectly.  Love the fact i can listen to my music and answer my calls without using my old headphones.


Can't really complain about anything.

I have been using the phone for a couple of weeks. I have the pebble blue version with 16 gb of built in memory.  The finish looks great, but when you pop of the back you can see it is just a cheap piece of plastic. The back cover comes off easily and the battery is easily accessible. Everything on the phone is plastic and all the edges are rounded.  I am not sure how you could dock this into anything since there are no flat edges like the iphone 4. The buttons on the sides work well but I am constantly pressing them by accident. I recently installed a bumper case so this doesn't happen anymore. The external speakers (one on front and one on back) have good power, but since the one on the back faces away from you its not the best place to put it. The screen is nice and big, but the phone is very thin and light. I have no problem fitting it in my pocket. All of the software seems to run fast on it.  Youtube videos are flawless, and when you rotate the phone into landscape the video takes you the whole screen. I have also copied a WMV video from my desktop and that also played well. There is an LED light on the front that lights up when you get a voice message, email or text and I like that feature a lot. The headphones that come with it are good.  I have big ears and it still seals well. There are buttons on the cord that allow you to change the volume and I think there is also a built in mic but a haven't tried to use it yet. I havent' used the camera so I can't say how good it is. Call quality is very good. Battery life seems ok if you only turn on the LTE when you need it.  If you leave LTE on all day it chews up the battery. It does take a few hours to charge the battery so I try not to let the battery drain all the way down.


Decent case, but damaging my phone

This case does a great job, but in my case there was a small price to pay for that. The Nexus 4 has glass on the front and the back, but the sides of the phone are rubber. My phone went into this case the first day that I got it. I took it out of the case to clean it a few days ago and realized that the rubber on the exterior of the phone was bubbling up and breaking off of the phone. Now there are small patches where the rubber once was. If you are going to order this case, I advise that you buy a full body protector prior to use. The front and the back are well protected by the case, but the sides of my phone are less than pristine.


Wrongly named product

I ordered for a HTC One X with Beats Audio UNLOCKED GSM Android but got a HTC AT&T One X with Beats Audio UNLOCKED GSM Android which cannot tether!!! I am very disappointed about this!!!


Phone Good - T-Mobile Service Aweful

The pda and its features are very good but the phone does not work well with T-Mobile.  I'm on my third treo 600 with T-Mobile and the service is aweful Everywhere!


Did not meet expectations

It did not protect at all. It looked extremely cheap. I thought it was going to have some substance to it so if my phone was dropped it would be protected. No such luck.


WARNING!!!!!!

Get a more study case, the cards will press agianst your screen and cause it to crack as the Galaxy (despite all the REALLY awesome things I can say about the phone) is made from crappy plastic and has a nasty habit of bending under pressure. This is not an ideal case.


A pretty good, non-mainstream phone.

After going through several Samsung, Nokia and HTC phones and managing to break almost every single one of them, I decided to shake things up a bit and buy the sleek, attractive Sony Xperia S.Pros:- Ease of use. I bought this phone unlocked and it was incredibly easy to set up with AT&T.; I just brought it into one of the stores and they set everything up at no charge. Beware that the SIM card required is a micro-SIM card, so you will need to get this changed out if you're going to use AT&T.; I've heard that they sometimes charge, but they didn't charge me anything when I went in. The nice lady at the store also warned me that the internet sometimes doesn't work with unlocked phones, but this one works just fine.-Battery life. This phone has the longest battery life of any smartphone I've ever used. I expected it to be around 70% at least by the end of the day, but my charge never dropped below 85%. Of course I use the power saver feature to dim the backlighting and an app killer to keep the running programs down, but with just those two things I was able to preserve my battery for at least two days before I needed to charge it. And that's including dozens of text messages, some light Wi-Fi use and feature-browsing. It also charges very quickly.-Attractive. I love the clear illuminated bar on the bottom. I have gotten several comments on how nice and different this phone looks. The display screen is bright, colorful and most importantly, shatter-resistant. Of course I bought a screen protector as soon as I could because I'm klutz. Also, the Android OS WILL automatically upgrade when you turn on either the data internet or Wi-Fi. It updated just fine for me and I have all of the apps and games I want on it.-Customizability. There are tons of settings and options on this phone to customize just about everything to your liking.Now onto the Cons...-Sound. I found that the speakerphone is too quiet. When I'm in my car, I have to plug it into my iPod jack so that I can hear it over the car stereo because it's too quiet otherwise. Music and sounds play loud enough to shake the phone, but for some reason the speakerphone is weak.-Back, Home & Menu buttons. After a few months of owning this phone the buttons have gotten difficult to press. Sometimes they don't respond at all. You don't have to push them hard to get them to work, but you have to find the "sweet spot". Other times you can just hover over them without even touching them and it counts as a key press.-Swipe function when texting. Maybe there's a workaround for this, but I haven't found it yet without having to disable the swipe function completely. When you swipe and go to choose the word, sometimes the cursor will be over the word you want to choose. Like, totally blocks the word so you move the cursor all over but can't actually choose the word. I have to backspace the whole word and retype it letter by letter. It's EXTREMELY annoying for someone who texts a lot, and it makes me want to type everything letter by letter, which I find incredibly difficult on this phone. The keyboard is really tiny for me, even though I have small hands, and I end up fudging almost every other word up.Overall I would rate this a 4 out of 5. The more annoying aspects can be ignored for the rest of the excellent features this phone has. I would definitely recommend it to someone who wants something different.


Good stuff!

I've used these on several different smart phones and have never been disappointed.They do get scratched up after several months, so it's great that these come in a three pack.These have a matte finish which decreases the screen brightness a tiny bit, but they also don't get oily or smudged up as the glossy ones.


So far...

The bad news : because this thing sticks far out of the back of the phone, it needs to use their non-standard battery cover which is included.  The battery cover is also adequate (has headphone and mic holes,ect)... but the #1 problem I'm having now is that my otterbox case won't fit it, and I can't find ANY cases that will fit it... So, since I really can't afford to carry my phone around work sites all day without a case, I'm not even really able to put this to use at all yet...  Also, even if you can go caseless, any time you pull off their battery cover, be ready for the battery to come flying out along with it.The good news : it got here quick, fit the phone and worked fine, well for the few hours of use I got from it before deciding it wasn't feasible to go without a case.I won't give them lower than a 4 for this, because liion high capacity batteries usually have similar size issues (it looks like any existing high capacity battery for this phone will), but pay close attention to the photos - if you think your rubber case will stretch to fit it, you're out of luck.


Solid and bulky case

If you are an accidental dropper, thrower, fumbler of your phone and need to have a protective case on it (not just a flimsy shell), this one will do the job. It looks good and, most importantly, Allows you to not worry what will happen if you knock the phone off the night stand. You won't worry about accidents with the phone. It is plenty of protection and for that reason I would never move up to the Defender series because of the added bulk without much greater protection.The only downside is that the case turns a phone very comfortable to hold and use one-handed into a phone that while still usable that way, feels a little like a brick. That's the trade-off any time you add a real case. Also access to ports is a bit of a hassle but not enough to cause you to not buy the case. Can't say anything bad otherwise. It's an Otterbox. One of the best companies around.


Doesn't work with Macbook Pro/Snow Leopard & Sprint MiFi

Not the fault of the cable, but it is the reason I purchased it. I'm sure it's a great cable otherwise.


Not for U.S. Usage

When I purchased this item, I wrongly believed that it would be compatible for use in the United States. Despite the somewhat cryptic product specifications, it appeared that it would work well with my current provider, T-Mobile, which operates "a 1900 MHz GSM PCS digital cellular network and a 1700 MHz/2100 MHz UMTS AWS digital cellular network." This was, unfortunately, not the case. In fact, I was later told that it is possible that no European cell phones will reach their full potential (i.e. 3G or beyond) on an American network. Not being a techy, I am not sure if that is true, but the main problem with this phone is that it would not go beyond 2G regardless of my coverage. Potential U.S. buyers, be very clear on network capabilities and research more thoroughly whether this is a viable option. Also, note that it comes with a British plug and adaptor for the U.S.I cannot speak to how it functions outside of the U.S.


You WILL drop your phone

Because you WILL drop your phone.  Thats the slogan I would use if I was Otterbox.  You will drop it, many times.  It amazes me how many people think they are above dropping their phone.  The iphone4 is a slippery devil and you must protect it.  When I first saw the case in an AT&T; store I knew that someone had finally got it right.  However, at 50 bucks, I knew I could get it cheaper online (and did).  The case is very attractive (the white is a bit more of a greyish white and I honestly think it improves the appearance of my already attractive Iphone 4.  All the buttons work perfectly (I swear I think its more responsive now and it keeps debris and dust outta all the ports.If you are willing to spend 10 bucks on a case, then you should be willing to spend more to truly protect your phone.  This is the only solution that i've seen to keeping your expensive Iphone, clean, safe, and functioning at all times.  The case does add size to the phone though and with the holster it adds a lot of bulk, but its not bad.  This is a smart purchase, trust me.


Great

Awesome. Can now sit comfortably with longer cord. Had a lot of trouble reaching chair with cord that comes with I phone. This is a great item


Excellent!!

After looking on Amazon for a sturdy case for my new Samsung Galaxy S2, I opted for this one & so glad I did! The price may be lower than you would expect to pay for a well made case, but don't let that fool you into buying one much higher priced....this one will do the job. I have the T989 model phone & all of the cutouts on this case line up perfect with my phone.  Pink & black choice is exactly as described. I'm happy with this product!


Otter Box Convert

Company phone is a Blackberry. I have used several phone cases over the years and until recently the Otter Box was my first choice, but my new Torch didn't have an Otter Box case (with holster) available.This case by Seidio is excellent. It adds an element of 'feel' to the phone that makes using it actually more comfortable without adding a lot of bulk.I have dropped it several times, with no damage.The holster / clip is awesome. Easy to take the phone in & out, yet secure.I highly recommend this case for a BB Torch.


Perhaps best SP cover, depending on needs.

I need to occasionally type on my lap.  I have abandoned the desk except for income tax, filing and bills since retiring.  If a cover doesn't support that, it is worthless to me.  This one does.  It does not have a pen holder, which a SP cover needs.  I got this one:http://www.amazon.com/Leuchtturm1917-Self-Adhesive-Notebook-Accessory/dp/B002RNRYN4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1371913394&sr;=8-1&keywords;=leuchtturm+pen+holderI also use a Prop 'n Go Slim lap desk with the SP, in the tablet mode.  I got it from Amazon also.  There are some odd pictures of the slim-fit cover on Amazon at the moment, and it was a little hard to tell what would happen if you opened in the notebook/folio mode and used it on your lap.  The prop drops a little, with flexible hinge, but it is in a usable position.  It works even better on the Prop 'n Go, and is more stable.  It also folds nicely with the strap nit tablet mode on the lap desk and closes nicely with the strap either with or without the type keyboard attached.Manvex also has a popular cover, but I like this one better.  It exposes bore of the tablet skin for cooling, but is attractive and the corners protect the tablet from damage in case of a fall.  Nice color choices too.  I recommend the Moko Slim-fit if you need a "lapable" cover.


Pretty good

The incredisonic IFM-500 works very well.  Crystal clear sound from my iPhone 5 is played through the device to my car stereo FM radio.  There's no interference from other radio stations or from cell signals - just great.  The speaker phone also works well, playing the caller through your stereo speakers; the built-in microphone seems to pick up well.  It was easy for the device to select an FM station, which displays clearly on the LED screen.  THe spring-loaded clip that holds the phone is very snug and holds the phone securely.  In my car, a VW Golf, the cigarette lighter fit is a little loose, but there have been no issues with this so far.  Now, things that could be better:  1) I have to use my USB iPod cable to charge the phone.  It plugs into the device and it works fine, it's just another step to remember when putting the phone in the cradle.  2) The other thing that happened within days of owning the device, the cover over the LED readout and buttons came off.  It's attached by two screws from the back side of the device and two clips on one side of the cover.  The screws were simply not installed. I found some suitable screws and fixed it myself.  Superglue might have done the job as well.  Overall, I'm quite happy with how the Incredisonic IFM-500 works.


It is not intended for your Verizon Phone

Although it is very professional, the battery won't fit in the compartment and  the connectors would not match up if it did. This battery is designed for the GSM version of this phone. Don't make my mistake.Update: When I wrote, this, I was a smart phone neophyte and this review was intended for those of similar experience.Gene


All accessories non-original and the phone is not good condition some time the signal is dose not works..

Nice case!

Fit perfectly,very good deal.Easy to put on and I think it will provide good protection in case I drop the phone.


Great phone so far! Highly Recommended

I've had the new Galaxy 3 for a few days and it has really grown on me. I upgraded from the Galaxy S (Captivate) which I loved as my first smartphone but I got it as a free refurbished model so it had a few issues (nonfunctioning GPS and random hiccups and restarts here and there). I was a bit wary of sticking to Samsung after having a bit of trouble with the previous Galaxy model. Despite the hiccups of my personal copy of the Galaxy S, I decided to give the III a try.After opening up the beautiful box that the Galaxy III arrives in, I was a bit dismayed that the phone seemed a bit flimsy. To insert the battery and SIM card, you basically have to pry off the cheap plastic back cover with your fingernails. It seemed a bit strange, especially since the Galaxy S had a sliding metal cover and was built like a hockey puck. This is my one main complaint about the III. The Galaxy S is going on strong after two years of drops and falls without any protective casing but I don't feel that the III can sustain such heavy abuse. I'm sure it will survive a few accidents but I don't think I'm comfortable subjecting it to my previous carelessness with its predecessor. After sticking the battery in, the casing feels a bit more solid and the back cover locks in tightly.Also, memory expansion and replaceable battery gave the III an edge over other new smartphone models. The III also comes with a nice set of headphones/mic and of course a charger.In terms of size, it is pretty obvious that the III has a much more screen space and is much larger than the Galaxy S and many other smartphones. I have small hands/fingers but I was able to manipulate the Galaxy S with one hand. Not so with the III but that's hardly something worth complaining about. The screen is big and beautiful. Colors are crisp and the contrast is very good. I think the screen isn't as bright at the Galaxy S screen but it is still an improvement as the colors aren't as jarring.The phone runs rather nicely. It's very smooth and I feel intuitive. Coming from Android Gingerbread, ICS isn't too much of a change. Switching tasks is a breeze and it is noticeably faster than the Galaxy S. It also outperforms my boyfriend's Motorola Atrix 4G which also has dual-core (though, it is now two years old). We ran the same tasks and app on the both the phones and they have parallel performance. Additionally, a Quadrant Test ran at 4758 (if that means anything to you). The Atrix tested at 2091.Another reviewer complained that the phone ran hot. I didn't really see this as an issue with my copy. It does warm up a bit but no more than the original Galaxy S and not to any concerning level.The S Voice is a nice addition and works surprisingly well. I've never tried an iPhone or Siri so I can't compare. S Voice is a nice touch but I felt a bit slower than expected. It is far more accurate and intelligent than whatever voice function the Galaxy S had. It is very sensitive to a fault so it will attempt to decipher any kind of utterance (so no thinking out loud!) There are a few things that are pretty gimmicky like the Smart Stay which is supposed to keep the screen active while your face is watching it. We felt that this feature was unnecessary and may be a potential battery drain since it will recognize your face even if you aren't actually looking at the phone. It may be a useful feature for movie viewing. Fortunately, this feature can be easily disabled.The two cameras are really good. I am a DSLR user and I'm big into photography. I thought the Galaxy S camera was OK but the III's cameras are a big step up. The rear camera focuses very, very quickly and with a touch of the screen you can easily change the focus of the photo before you take the picture. Obviously, it cannot compete with DSLR photographs but it takes pretty decent photographs for a phone. It doesn't exactly rival compact point & shoot cameras but it is close.The III also comes with some useful apps like Kies Air which allows you to change your phone around (edit contacts, add music, etc) through your computer without having to plug the phone into USB. This a great feature especially when you are getting started with the phone for the first time and are importing data. There's a fair amount of crapware from AT&T; but they can be easily removed or hidden. You can easily hide apps by going to Application Manager, hitting Force Stop and then Disable. This can quickly remove unwanted or rarely used apps without having to root them.Battery life on smartphones is terrible in general. With moderate use, I can get through the day with some battery left to spare so it is good enough. It lasted 12 hours of regular use of GPS, apps, phone calls with 10% to spare.Overall, I'm pretty happy with the phone.  Other than investing in a good protective case and learning to be more careful, I can't really find much to complain about. I'll update my review as I go along but so far, I recommend it highly.UPDATE: A month in and I still love this phone. It is incredibly fast and reliable. I haven't had it crashed once so far. The processing speed is great. I used to shy away from using my previous smartphone to do quick internet research because it was slow and unreliable. The SIII really makes you feel that you have the world at your fingertips. Very quick.I am an AT&T; customer and I ordered this phone through Amazon. There were a few problems when my account was transferred to this phone but AT&T; quickly cleared it up. As for the network, I know AT&T; is well-known for having a crappy network. Having been an AT&T; customer for a long time, I don't know any better but unless I'm in a known dead-zone like a basement or a dense apartment building, I have had no issues with connecting onto the network or making calls. No dropped calls so far, also (which is amazing because my Galaxy S would drop calls ALL the time). Still in love with this gizmo.


useless!!!!

1 star is generous!!  I was extremely dissappointed when I bought this handsfree.  It is the worst handsfree I have ever used!  First, you can hardly hear because the actual "earpiece" is not actually "in" your ear.  Second, for people with small ears, like me, it doesn't even stay on.  I have to hold the earpiece to my ear to hear the person on the other end and to keep it from falling off.  Doesn't that defeat the purpose of having a handsfree?  These earpieces are so expensive they should at least design them better!  I have never had a problem with Jabra and I should have never switched to this useless waste of hard-earned money!!!


Hated these waste of money

Bought these and ran through three of then in two weeks and I'm good with chargers. I gave the fourth away. Don't waste your money!


Can't beat it.

This item was less than 3 bucks and is comparable to the much more expensive versions I have previously used on my other devices(brands like Sonix and InvisibleShield). In My opinion these are of equal quality and a small fraction of the price (cost about 87%less the competition). Plus they were available in a size that fits my phone which is not a very common model. I ordered 2 packages of these and was so impressed I logged back in and ordered 3 more packs. I want to stock up because it seems each time I find a good accessory for my phone On Amazon the next time I re-order the vendor is no longer listed here. This time I am stocking up because this product is fantastic.


Moto V551 review

This phone is a really good deal... especially since its free after the rebate.  The sound quality is great and I always have a good signal (from Cingular).  It is much much better than my old Nextel service.  The phone looks good and is much amaller than my old Nextel phone.  I am definatly happy I purchased this phone.  I gave the phone a 5 star because it is overall a very good phone with cool features, including bluetooth.  There are two things that I didnt like though. First, the instructions for the phone are amongst the skimpiest (by skimpy i mean worst) I've ever seen.  I had to play around a lot... my menus from the Nextel phone are VERY different from this.  Second is, the battery life indicator isnt too accurate.  It told me my phone had a full charge for 3 days... then on the 3rd day it went from a full charge to two-thirds to dead withing 8 hours.


HS805 -  Works fine as long as you take it off to talk into it!  JUNK

This is a cruel joke by some bored engineers!  I have a MOTO V551phone, and it synched OK - but the mic volume (what others hear)is too low by a factor of 10!After much complaining by parties I called, i tested the headset 2 ways: 1) by putting my phone in VOICE RECORD mode, and 2) bycallin my own voicemail and leaving test messages.Sure enough, the only way the volume is adequate is if you takeit OFF YOUR EAR and talk into the microphone (which is a tiny1/16" hole in the bottom of the unit!)I'm glad Moto does not make cars!  (think of an apt analogy....brakes...)oh, you want brakes that actually make the car stop!  oh, wethought this wooden stick you pull up on (to drag on the highway)was adequate!  It does slow the car down somewhat.Likewise, the HS805 is a wireless headset that you can hearvery well with, and if you are calling someone who does notlike listening to you, it makes it much easier on them......THINK OF IT AS A FEATURE!The HS805  is just shameful engineering.There are no volume increase features for the headset Micor on the phone that increase the microphone volume!  Onlythe speaker volume.Other than these tragic flaws, it is OK!Get the picture?


Not very good.

After waiting almost a month for this product, I was not happy with the way it looks. It looks like someone printed it out on paper and just glued it to the back of the case. It looks terrible, safe to say I probably wont wear this case much. The only really good thing about this case, is how inexpensive it was. I guess you get what you pay for.


Very satisfied!

With no doubt, this battery increased the lifespan between charges of my SGSII. With a moderate use, now I got 20%-30% of energy remaining when I go to sleep (aprox. 15 h of use). The Cover is the same quality as the original, and does not add an annoying extra bulky appearance to the phone.


0/5 Wouldn't recommend.

Basically a normal black case with a sticker on it and the I on "It" is cut off from the camera opening. Also a low quality picture for the design.


5 Stars for Quality, 1 Star for Comfort

This headset works great with the PS3.  The sound quality is much better than my old Motorola Bluetooth headset i was using.  There is little to no echo.  The charging stand, speaker works great when you aren't using it on your head.  Make sure that you follow the directions and sync it via usb not bluetooth.  This allows you to get a lot more features from the headset/speaker stand. (It gives instructions to do this in the manual provided).I give this item only three total stars because of the comfort factor.  The piece that fits over the ear is nice and works but its the piece that goes into the ear that is not very comfortable.  If you have the headset on for extended periods of time you will most likely have to switch ears or at least take it out ever so often.


Found after a long search

Started riding my road bike about twice a week and I am loving this mount.  It goes on the stem cap so it's centered on the bike and I feel like it might be less prone to injury during a fall or accident.  I wanted something that was sleek and not bulky with a water protective cover that was optional.  I've ridden on mostly roads that are good to moderate paved condition and so far no problems.The packages includes:Mount for stem capCase for iphoneWaterproof coverI don't think amazon has the best descriptions of their products and this one doesn't really tell all that is included.  Great product.


Removes NFC functionality from Galaxy Nexus

Received battery today and its currently charging in my phone. Note that NFC will no longer function, as that is built into the Samsung OEM battery.


Very glad I spent some more money for this one

I needed a longer cable to charge my iPhone 4S, I had one picked out for $8 but decided to spend the extra money for this one since its certified by apple and a lot of the other ones would stop working say people in the reviews for the cheaper ones. So far this one is holding up and continues to work extremely well.With a longer cable I was afraid it wouldn't charge up as fast, with this cable that was proven wrong, it charges just as fast as the really short one that came with my iPhone. With the other cables one big complaint was that the end that plugged into the device would fall apart. So far this one hasn't the only thing is that the ends don't feel as solid as the apple brand ones. But like I said its holding up very well so far and haven't had any problems with this cable at all.One more thing, a longer cable will transfer data slower because data is more likely to get scrambled traveling a longer distance through the cord (true story). I haven't tried syncing with this thing yet but I wouldn't recommend it.


Slowest phone ever

This phone has a LOT of potential, unfortunately the software is TERRIBLE and it is either extremely underpowered or just poorly designed software. When the phone is new it is responsive to your touch, has a little bit of a lag when moving around but that's normal.Once you load apps on it and start attempting to use it towards it's potential the phone becomes crippled and in my opinion is the worst phone I've had it 10 yrs. I often wait 3-5 sec after clicking on pretty much any button for my input to be acknowledged. When dialing a call I will hit the person's name and it will actually not start the call for 35+ seconds. I've timed it with a stopwatch. It is so bad that in the beginning I thought it didn't take my input so I'd retouch the screen. Fortunately, this phone is so smart that it would recognize both inputs with the huge lag so it would connect my call with person A, and then when i was on the call with person A it would dial person A again at the same time so I'd be talking to them and we'd both hear the phone ringing. They'd ask me, why are you calling again when we're on the phone and I'd have to explain how ridiculously slow the phone is to respond and the problems. Only way to remedy this situtation is to hang up and retry.The phone drops calls in areas where my old phone never dropped calls, so i'd rate reception as worse.The battery life is awful. I use it fairly heavily, but after owning it for 6 months my phone battery is usually done after about 6hrs of being unplugged.I upgraded to the new Android OS 2.1 but this makes things even worse. Seems to have some nice newer features but that just makes the phone hog the internet more and be less responsive.Terrible lag when typing messages.Why can't the software developers figure out that this is a SINGLE CORE processor and it CANNOT multi-task.  If the user is actively using the phone, background tasks need to be halted so that the phone can be responsive. I'm tired of waiting 5 seconds between each click, and actually set the phone down when navigating through screens (e.g. like adding a new contact, seriously!!)


Worked decently but broke--definitely not original OEM part.

After breaking my iPhone 3G's screen, I opted for replacing it with this at a tenth of the cost Apple offered me. The part arrived in good condition and in good time. I laid it all out, and after watching a few videos, managed to replace it without a hitch. I only ended up using one of screwdrivers, the suction cup and one of the screen pry tools. There's really no need to use the guitar picks and stuff. Like other reviewers said, the screwdrivers are pretty awful, so I recommend picking up one somewhere else, if you don't have one already. I had to stop in the middle of my repair to go get a $5 screwdriver set from Lowe's because this screwdriver wasn't strong enough to take out one of the tighter screws.After the repair, the phone worked great, but after a bit I found a fair number of things that indicated it wasn't an original part. They are...1. The screen felt a little funny at first--powdery maybe?--but after some use it seemed to go away.2. It does hold onto a few more fingerprints than the original screen does, but I quickly got used to it.3. Sometimes there would be chunks of time (20 seconds or so) that the screen would be totally unresponsive. I think this may have been a phone problem, not a screen problem as it always occurred in chunks of time, rather than sporadically. Maybe if you reconnect the little ribbons etc. extra well when you reassemble your phone, you won't have this problem.4. There's a barely noticeable grid-type pattern on the screen. It never bothered me, and I would never see it when I was actually using my phone, but in the right light it would come out. This might be a problem if you watch movies on your phone often, which I didn't.Last of all, the part isn't nearly as strong as the original. I dropped my phone face down for the first time yesterday, and despite it being in a case, the screen has broken again. With my original screen, I had probably dropped my phone the same way at least ten times before it broke. This one broke on the first test. If you babied your iPhone before, and your screen break was merely a one-time thing, I would probably recommend this part to be the most valuable for your money. If you play hard with your phone, like me, I suggest you pay for the real deal, which should probably run you about $50. It'll save you money in the end.


Versatile case - but pricey! Loses cards ...

This case is of reasonable quality.  After having used so many different cases (primarily Otterboxes and Lifeproof) I'm a tough sell when it comes to cases.  I look for a good fit and finish and like to see how they hold up over time.  Conceptually, the case is very nice and the thought of carrying credit cards and a little cash is nice.  I am very brand loyal so I would most likely go for theSpeck Products SmartFlex Card Samsung Galaxy S4 Case - Retail Packaging - Blackwhich I think is the direct competitor for this case.The main reasons for the 2-star review is my initial impression of the fabric portion of the case and the price point.  I am not very impressed with the construction and choice of materials and would be concerned about losing my credit cards and cash out of this pocket (the Speck case seems a little more solid with the rigid construction).  I would hate to lose my cards and the flexibility of this part does not instill a lot of confidence in me.  The pocket could be reinforced with a snap or something.  After some use, I found that with some use, my credit cards were falling out.For the money, really not impressed with the materials used and the way it holds credit cards (with no snap or closure mechanism).Please also note that this case does not fit the Samsung S4 Active.


Does not fit

I could not get my epic in this case at all. I was afraid it would split if I kept trying.


phone

The phone itself was in very good condition but there was no instruction book with it so I was a little lost with how some things on the phone worked.


Poor Quality

Only one port charges making a two port charger useless. DO NOT BUY! Expected much better quality. Too many words required


Poor Service

I have nothing against the phone at all. it is generally a decent phone, but because of the seller i am truly disappointed. I bought a new phone only to receive the package and realise id was used, it had no user manual and there was a number attached to the phone and the network sprint. Because of where i live in the caribbean i had to settle for a 10% refund because it will cost me much more to send it back...I am sorry but that is just totally poor, really disgusted by this seller.


A fine screen protector.

REVIEW:Most screen protectors fall into one of three categories: Ultra clear (polyethylene/PET), matte (textured polyethylene/PET), and durable (urethane).I hate urethane films - these are soft, thicker, leave sticky residue behind, and are susceptible to 'rainbow' effects. The screen will feel mushy. Their chief advantage is durability - urethane films are less prone to scratches and won't crease if you bend them somehow. These are the ones touted as made from "the same material used to protect planes, helicopters, etc", and sold famously under the Za*g brand name. Who cares if the same film is used to protect a helicopter rotor blade? You don't use rotor blades as touch screens. These are also known as 'wet application' films, as their 'floppiness' means you must do a lot of repositioning upon installation. All films will benefit from some water during application, however. See instructions below.Matte or ultra clear PET films are both fine. PET is thin and rigid. This is good for clarity, and will preserve the feel of your touchscreen.Matte PET is less susceptible to fingerprints, but a little less clear. Ultra clear PET is clearer, but prone to fingerprints.This screen protector is of the ultra clear PET variety.There is little to differentiate one PET film from another. They tend to be 3-layer, with either an electrostatic layer next to the screen, or a low-tack adhesive. There is little difference. So, get the cheapest one you can find! This one fits the bill, as it was around five clams for a set of three. Paying for pricier brands is a waste of money. This protector comes with the low-tack adhesive.The bottom of the Galaxy Nexus screen curves inward slightly, causing the bottom of edge of the film to not make complete contact with the screen. This hasn't bothered me. This will happen with any PET on this phone, unless it's cut short so that the bottom 1mm of the screen is exposed. A urethane film won't have this problem, but they aren't worth it.INSTALLATION:People come up with all sorts of tips to apply screen protectors to avoid dust under it. This is my method which I think is easy and works well:1) Go to the bathroom and take a shower (or just leave hot water running so the room gets very humid). Wash your hands to remove oils.2) Wipe down the phone screen with an antistatic cloth (such as the one included with this product)3) Remove the screen protector's packaging layer (indicated as "step 1"), and moisten this side by running water over it and shaking off the excess. Or, flick some water onto it with a wet hand.4) Put the screen protector in no particular fashion. Feel free to lift it up and reposition it - the humidity will keep the dust away.5) Squeeze out the air and water underneath, blotting up any excess water with a napkin or paper towel. I suppose an anti-static cloth would be best.That's it. You'll then have a perfectly applied screen protector with no nonsense, on the cheap.


One of the best kept tech secrets out there.

A perfect hybrid of the iPhone and Blackberry- but better!An arrogant and presumptuous statement you might say? Perhaps. An uneducated and unfair assumption? Hardly. With a flawless interactive touchscreen like the iPhone and a slide-out, tactile QWERTY keyboard akin to the Blackberry, this phone has surpassed ALL of my expectations.I was like all other lonely schoolboys out there on the playground albeit I wasn't out on the playground and I'm 35; hardly a schoolboy. But like the others, I was waiting in vain for my "New Every Two" discount to kick in so I can finally venture into the 21st century with a Smartphone (cue fading echo: phone, phone, phone...). I had done tiresome and extensive research on the "Big 3" that Verizon had to offer: the Motorola Droid, the HTC Droid Eris and the Palm Pre Plus (not big on Blackberrys; too yuppy/primitive/not me). My research included watching way too many videos of these phones on youtube (unboxing, walkthroughs, hacks, Chocolate Rain cameos, etc.), reading far too many blogs to mention and actually fiddling around on the phones. Using the phones. How novel. I'll make this simple:The Motorola Droid I found to be too bulky, far too heavy for a mobile device, suffering from "only child" syndrome and, from the research I did, the touchscreen was WEAK. W. E. A. K. That is problemo numero uno. Next.The HTC Droid was very high on the "Me want, me want" list. I did like the touchscreen response, fairly attractive OS and it is backed by Google which I use religiously. The strike? I was coming from a standard slider phone and doing text messages with a standard phone keypad. Going from that to QWERTY in itself is a big step. Add onscreen-only and you're asking for some serious aggravation, anxiety and frustration. What else we gots?So the Palm Pre had been getting press on it's "revolutionary" webOS and that it was coming to Verizon in January. I was only familiar with it because I would watch youtube reviews and visit the Palm website. I do have to admit that once I played with the Palm Pre I was quite enamored. The shape was ridiculously comfortable. The tactile keyboard was small but, surprisingly, my fairly nimble fingers were able to adjust with ease and the touchscreen was absolutely mind blowing. This is the ONLY phone that Verizon offers where I felt as comfortable using it as I did on an iPhone (which all touchscreens try to rival in terms of responsiveness and illuminosity).When the time came to purchase my new device, the Palm Pre Plus was at the top of my list. I had to lure my girlfriend into the depths of geekdom and let her know how great this phone was too. She relented and now she is truly addicted to this phone.One great, huuge surprise I had on this phone was the multi tasking prowess this has on it. On my second day owning it I used a GPS tracking jogging app and listened to some music on my Bluetooth stereo headset. Now I know an iPhone can't do that all at once.I can't really say enough good things about this phone. I really hope the best for Palm and if you do get one, you're going to see the huge underground following/cult of Palm Pre fanatics that just can't say enough either!
