Great bluetooth, bad headphones

The unit itself works fantastic (I have Nokia 928). It controls my music perfect and even reads text messages back to me. The downfall is the headphones. I love that they are shorter but the sound quality is awful. I changed headphones and it improved dramatically. Good buy


Case does not fit Samsun Galaxy S II

This case does not fit Samsung Galaxy SII.  I just purchased this and it will not close.  Very disappointed in this product. Not worth the time to return this.


Great product!! a must have for the new BB 9800

Excellent product, really top quality. Is the same as the original the ATT wanted to sell me for $40.The Torch fits perfectly.


NOKIA Quality with quick, easy installation

I ordered mine from A1 Accessories for $9.36 which was considerably less than what I could have paid in a brick and mortar store - Thanks Amazon.com.  It was sent via USPS, so I had to look deep into my mailbox to find it, vice on my doorstep like UPS might have delivered it.  It was delivered quicker than advertised.  As soon as I received it, I plugged it into my USB and it connected without needing to download any drivers and I immediately gained access to all the folders in the phone (6555B in my case).  Unlike one of the other reviewers, I did not expect it to charge the phone while plugged in, but it would have been nice if it could - he's right it doesn't charge the phone, but does everything very well.  The only reason why I did not rate this as 5 stars is because of the price.  Although it was only about nine dollars and significantly less that in town, it wasn't as cheap as I found other accessories on Amazon.com.  However, I needed one and Amazon is my on-line store of choice for most of my needs.


Fits well, maybe a bit too tightly

I use two different cases for my Iphone, a protective case for every day use, and a battery charger when I'm on the road for hours at a time.  Both of these are easy to use but are bulky.This AmazonBasics Protective TPU Case is skin tight.  It is made of a stretchy pliable plastic that feels durable and will protect the phone if dropped.  However, the cover is a thin sheet of plastic that I had a difficult time putting on without adding "air bubbles" throughout the front of the iphone.  It isn't too unseemly, since when the Iphone is in use, the screen tends to make the air bubbles disappear.  But when the Iphone is dark,  you can easily see them, and I think a very picky user will hate it. Of course, I probably wasn't patient enough when I put the plastic sheet on top.I have tried removing the protector a few times, and it is hard to do.  This case is not meant to be taken on and off frequently.  I am one that prefers to switch cases daily, and so this doesn't really work well for me.  Others who want a more permanent case on their iphones will probably not care about the difficulty of removing the case.


Nice case with a few flaws

This case is really nice. I like how the case itself is separate from the kickstand. The kickstand is on the holster.In my opinion, there are two flaws with this case:1. The case itself has cutouts for the charging port, microphones and headphone jack, however the holster does not. If you are using the kickstand, you won't be able to charge the device or use headphones, unless you're ok with having the phone laying horizontally on the holster while the holster is vertical (this is what I do at night since I use my phone as an alarm clock).2. The second flaw is that sometimes when I am putting the phone back in the holster with the screen facing inwards the top of the hard shell tries to come off (this may also occur if you are pulling the phone out of the holster with the screen facing outward).Aside from the abovementioned flaws, which are by no means dealbreakers for me, this case is really nice. It's actually really slim, doesn't add much bulk, and holds the phone really securely in the holster. The phone is held so well in he holster that you can't really disconnect the phone from the holster with one hand alone (this may be considered a flaw for some, but I am happy to know that the phone isn't going anywhere). The power key and the volume rocker have a good tactile "clicky" feel to them as well.I like to judge things on whether or not I'd recommend it to a friend, and this case has met that level of review. RECOMMENDED!


Excellent

I paid $6.99 with free shipping for this amazing cover for my Kindle Paperwhite.  The quality exceeds my expectations.  It rivals any of the more expensive options out there.  It even has the kindle logo stamped on outer and inner front cover.  It puts the unit to sleep and wakes it as advertised. It also comes with a sceen protector and stylus.  I am not sure if I will use those things but at this price, they surely add to an already incredible deal. This cover adds little to no bulk to the Kindle as well and looks great when put away and not in use.  I highly recommend this, even if it costs a bit more than the amazing deal that I was able to get it for.


Elegance and Style Meets Performance!!

I purchased this after returning the horribly bulky and loose fitting Aliph Jawbone Headset. The First thing that I noticed was the size, it was incredibly small. My first concern was how could something so small, sleek, and elegant looking really perform the way that I needed it to. What a surprise I was in store for. The pairing was so easy it was as if this device was what my phone was yearning for. after pairing I began placing calls and was amazed how clear the voice quality was, It was as if the person was right there next to me. so clear that no one even knew that I was talking on a bluetooth device. It was also incredibly lightweight, you literally forget that you are wearing a bluetooth device, and it fits firmly around your ear so that you dont worry about it falling off or shifting while moving with no discomfort. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. Motorola has really hit the mark this time. excellent quality though small it is remarkable sturdy, durable. you can rotate the mic to point it towards your mouth for optimal reception for the person you are talking with. also it comes with a charging/carry case with a protective lid to keep it from being damaged while traveling. Nice going Motorola. I have tried Motorola's in the past and was greatly disappointed, the H680 more than makes up for it!!


Had some trouble but it works now!

When I first saw it on Amazon, I read all the reviews and was debating whether I should give it a try. I decided to try it since I have been stuck on iOS 5 baseband 04.11.08(still no unlock till today)for over months. I followed one of the comments left here and activated the sim online after installed it in a spare phone, it worked. I was able to make phone calls with that phone. However, when I switched the sim to my iphone 4, it kept giving me 'NO SERVICE' no matter how many times I tried to reboot it. I knew it wasn't the sim's problem because it still works when I installed it on another phone (not a smart phone). So it had to be the iphone 4. I called at&t; customer service( I was trying to avoid having to contact them, but I had no choice :(. ) After waiting for a long time the representative told me it could be the sim being locked to the phone I used to activate it, hence it's not working with iphone. He tried to unlock for my over phone, but he couldn't do it, he then suggested me to go at&t; store. So I went, and got a replacement sim for free. They installed it for me on my iphone 4, but it was giving no service again!Long story short, after another phone call with at&t; representative, and being told 50 times "gophone sim is not compatible with iphones", I finally got it to work. For those of you who might be having the same problem, my solution was to update (restore) the firmware to the newest iOS. Apparently, because I had my iphone 4 jailbroken. And it's making the phone not recognizing the at&t; sim... I'm not really sure what happened, but after I updated it to iOS 5.1,it worked! AT&T;'s logo is up at the left hand corner with signals and everything.Overall I think it worth the money. I accidently updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.0.1 without preserving my baseband, there's still no unlock for 04.11.08 right now. With this sim card, I can use my phone again. Which is great because I'm not longer carrying an expensive 'ipod touch' around :)


Broke immediately!

This is terrible- it never worked and fell apart immediately upon the first trial of use.Frankly, it is a joke.....


Surprisingly Good

So I won't lie, when researching a portable battery product for my mobile devices, I was a bit skeptical with this brand.  I had never heard of Anker, nor of LaptopMate... but I couldn't really deny the ratings as well as the price.  As most people are, I was concerned that this might be a bogus company selling a sub par product.  Luckily, I trust Amazon as a reseller, and took a chance.The Anker Astro3 is a surprisingly good device, as it turns out.  Not too large or too heavy, I have witnessed this device recharge two devices at the same time.  And I'm not talking just to simple phones, I'm talking an iPad and a newer Windows Mobile Phone.  In fact, I had my Windows Mobile Phone hooked up to it and the Anker Astro3 had it fully charged in a couple hours flat.  Ran the Astro3 to somewhere around 60% (I'm guessing as it had 3/4 lights left and then went down to 2/4 lights after beginning to charge another device.So now, you're probably thinking that 40% means around 4000mAh of power were used.  The Windows Mobile Phone has around a 1800 mAh Battery in it... so somehow things don't seem to be adding up.  Well, they never do, in the truth of that matter.  I don't expect to get every mAh out of the Astro3 regardless of the last time I charged it and the last time it was put through it's paces.  That's not truly feasible, and knowing that for $50 I can get 2.5 charges on my mobile phone is pretty good.This is for backup, not for every day use... well, unless you need it for every day due to a lack of plug, then it's still fine!  If you drain your phone down more than twice over a day you either need a better phone or you need a newer battery.  And in an imperfect system, this might be the best we could get overall.  I know that so far it has saved me a couple times in a conference and at two airports.  Couple that with an 18 month warranty, and you have something really good here.I will reserve my fifth star until I've had this for around a month and put it through it's paces.  This will involve a full charge, followed by it recharging a series of devices from 0 to 100%.  Then I can tell you how much juice I can squeeze out of this thing from start to finish.  And we'll see how long it can last, which is the other important part.  Even in those cases, I'm not looking for perfection, just functionality.


Horrible seller service

I paid for 1 day shipment. They spend 3 days to move it from Brooklyn to Newark. In the end it was 5 days shipment. Nothing to say about phone cause I'm in another country now.No answer for claims from amazon or seller. No comments :)


These work!!!!

Thank goodness these work. I spent $12 on others and NONE of them worked. What a waste. Not these, though! Very impressed with the quality so far!


Not a Droid X battery!

Droid X uses battery model BH5X.  I received model BP6X, which fits the original Droid (and perhaps the Droid 2).  But it's about 25% shorter than the Droid X battery, and will not work at all for that phone.


great product

This booster has it all, a place for your phone to charge when you get the cord, Compact, easy installation. and great reception even here in the mountains of WV.


do not like it

meanue was inconvinient. when you talk on a phone the keyboard does not turn off automatically (you can dial somewhere by accident). had to return it becasue the phone had some problems.


Don't waste your money

Bought two of these covers just for a temporary fix until I could find the cover I really wanted. One if them was yellowed and scratched and looked used. The other one didn't fit the phone snug at all. Poor quality!


Nerfed version of the E61

This phone is a nerfed version of the E61.  The phone being unlocked may possibly get around the java restriction imposed on the locked Cingular version, but the processor is very slow (slow menu transition and limited 3rd party app use), the Wi-Fi has been removed from this version, and it's not a 3G phone.  Shop around, you can find a much better phone for around the same price.


Thank you so much hope we can make buss unless again

Thank you like the item  so much never had one before and it works great hope it we last lame a long time


doesn't have an opening in the case for volume/vibrate button

To change the volume or put your phone on vibrate, you have to pull the phone out of the wood case. Very nice looking, sturdy, but inconvenient


Great deal for styluses to use for tablets, e-readers and other small devices

I ordered these to hand out as gifts this Christmas, and everyone likes them. My husband uses his for his iPad, our kids and my mother use them for their tablets, my niece uses hers on her Kindle Fire and my stepsister uses hers on her iPod Touch. I gave them all away, even to two people who already had a stylus, and my mother said she likes how it is smaller than her other stylus so that it can attach to her tablet better.


Tough Sturdy Cable

It seems that lightning cables these days are very fragile and have a tendency to break a lot. Belkin solves this with there new Lightning cable. It is tough and sturdy and does the job well. The only set back it is be forewarned it is VERY long and with the bulk in the cable it is hard to wind up.


Thank you, BlueMall! (With INSTRUCTIONS on how to make your keyboard work on your tablet!)

This is the cable you need if you want to plug a Mouse, USB Keyboard, Flash Drive or any other USB peripheral to your tablet! The cable is of excellent quality, strong build and good materials. It plugs in snugly on my Nextbook Premium 7SE, model NEXT7P12. Many reviews say that the cable did not work with their tablet or device. Unfortunately, this is usually due to a SEVERE lack of information. But luckily, I have instructions on how to make it all work effectively!Step 1: Go to your tablet's settings, then USB connection. There should be an option that lets you change between Host Mode and Device Mode. Please choose Host Mode.Step 2: Plug in a Plug and Play peripheral- a USB mouse or keyboard come to mind. Plug it into the cable, then plug the microUSB end of the cable to your tablet.Step 3: Test! It has to work!Step 4: If you want to connect your tablet to the computer like you normally do, simply change the USB mode back to Device Mode.That's it! You're set. :D I'd like to thank BlueMall for their lightning-fast service and delivery and for the quality of the cable. I'll definitely shop with you again!


Work/sound great! Long lasting batteries.

They sound wonderful & work really good, feel comfortable. The batteries last a very long time! Would definitely recommend these, am purchasing a second pair as a gift.


Impressive

I took it with me while camping, and did some tests with several iOS devices. Before testing I was careful to orient the panel directly towards the sun by leaning it against a stable object.  I took screenshots before and after charging, and the results are... in full sunlight, it charges two new (retina) iPads simultaneously at about 1 percent every 6 minutes! Even in cloudy conditions it charged a single 4th generation iPod touch from 85 to 100% in one hour. So far I've only taken it on one trip, but the construction feels sturdy, and it comes with a nice case. Highly recommended.


Get the Jabra!!!

This does not work as they say!!!!!Battery does not last as long as they say.They say that it works up to 30 feet away.  It started droping out around 3 feet and by 6 feet it was all static.Also it is hard to hear, not loud enough.I returned it and got the Jabra Freespeak that is less and works GREAT.  Good range, easy to hear and smaller.


Beware

Doesn't work on iPhone 4. I bought it and was delivered to me only after 15 days(gets shipped from China)to find out that it doesn't work on iPhone4. The phone right away tells that the charging device is not compatible.


I don't feel safe with it.

I bought this as soon as I had my pre-order in for the Q10. I love the phone and wanted to get a good case to keep it safe. This case seemed (by appearances) to be good quality.There are two major problems with the case. First, it is somewhat of a hassle to get the phone into it at all. If you get this product, be sure to take the rubber insert out, put the phone in the insert, then put that into the plastic case.Second, and by far the worst, is the fact that this case is slip prone. I don't know about you, but I don't want my phone slipping out of my hand very easily. Especially one that is as new as this one. The material that makes up the solid plastic part of this case is very slick. And not grabby slick like shiny plastic can be, but rather it has a matte finish. No matter how you hold it the majority of the phone your touching is the slick plastic, and that really endangers it.The quality of the case itself is fine. The rubber and plastic are thick and seem to be well-made. I just can't trust it, I'm afraid.**EDIT 6-14-2013**While I still hold that the case is too slippery for my hands, I've been able to fix it so now I love the case. I used something called Plasti-Dip to spray a rubbery coating on the hard plastic bit. It's now a lot easier to hold, and I'm happy to use it.


Love This Case!

This case makes the Ipod look more like an IPhone and I love the polka-dot design! It is very sturdy and the case has a rubbery feel to it that makes the Ipod easy to hold. It protects my Ipod well from dents and scratches, but doesn't get in the way when plugging in headphones or the charging cable. I strongly recommend this case!


Nice looking case but....

When I received this case it was awesome. I have only had it for a couple days and the magnet that closes the case is wearing out. Keep in mind that my phone is only left on a table or my night stand. I'm not even able to keep it closed anymore.


very disappointing

I got this phone about a week ago, it is really cool but when i powered it on it was in russian, wth? i am so disappointed i really wish someone can help me turn it in english! or can the company help me please?


horrible

Ive gad this pjone for about two months and i wish i would have gotten something different. About to break this p.o.s. don't buy!


Clever little widget

I bought this along with a Joby Gorillapod Micro 250 tripod. I use the combined assembly as a video stand for my fifth-generation iPod Touch.It's tiny and folds up into something roughly the size of a car key fob, and has a small hole next to the tripod screw hole that you can use to attach it to a keychain. This really comes into its own if you use it with the Gorillapod Micro 250, because the Gorillapod Micro collapses into a sleek little package that hugs the collapsed GripTight mount tightly and cleanly.I really like it, it's a great little accessory. It grips my iPod nicely, and has rubberized jaws that won't damage the finish. With my iPod on a tripod, I can watch videos or video chat without having to constantly hold the iPod in one hand.


Curious

Why is it almost 200 dollars cheaper to buy it new (unlocked) (and since its triband it works in the USA) in germany and have it shipped to the states. I was looking at the prices here and the prices here in germany and wondering how that could be.


Good Phone Terrible Seller.

I needed a new phone becuase I broke my other one. So I selected a new Iphone. I got this phone in the mail and everything on it works fine and runs like it should. As for the charger I got, It was a used charger and didnt work at charging my iphone. I contacted customer service and they told me to contact Apple. I contacted apple then went back to the seller to try and get my AC charger replaced or have them send me a new one. Niether has happened.  Very disappointed in the customer who is selling this product. Bottom line is phone is great seller is terrible.


Dont buy it without a warranty

I bought mine 4 months ago ...yesterday  it went off and didn work after that..I dont know what was the reason, I didnt download any thing and I didnt update it :S


Works great.

I finally figured out how too hook up this phone.  It works great.it runs off tmobile or alltell towers.  Depending on what company u hook it up with.  It is a standard sim.  U can buy the sim card here.  U need a micro sd card too download apps.  Buy the larger one if u download alot or record alot. Not the 2 or the 4 not enough memory. There is a really good video camera on it with both back and front faceing cameras. The apn setting does have too be set on ur phone.  But whoever provider u call too activate ur phone tells u how too do it. If u cant understand them or they dont understand u because most of them r from freakin India, they can email u the instructions. It must be a job qualification that all telemarketers have to be from India. Lol the phone is great. It works great and it has a 5" screen. I love it. No wonder it keeps selling out at that price. And download battery saver in ur playstore. It helps.  Thanks.


item pictured is misleading

the item pictured is misleading and is NOT the same as what showed up to my mailbox. it Is black and it Does fit my phone (droid 2) but in the photo it shows an opening for the entire speaker on the back of the phone. the case i received in the mail has an opening 1/3rd the size, considerably cutting down on the amount of sound coming out of the speaker clearly.


very protective case

The case is great. Fits like a glove. I have 2 suggestions, the port opening does not allow for attachments which can be frustrating if you use any ihome products like speakers. Also this case did not come with the head phone adapter.


Really good earphones for the money

I decided to get myself some decent earphones for listening to music on my Sansa Clip and Galaxy phone, but thought that my $15 Sony pair from a big box store just wasn't doing the music justice. I dove head first into the frighteningly complex world of In Ear Monitors (IEMs) in order to make sure I got the best deal for the dollar.I settled on the the VSonic GR-02 IEMs after a month of research comparing reviews of the various models in my price range. I had never heard of VSonic, or 50% of the companies I was reading about even though I'm a musician with some knowledge of Pro Audio, so I just had to get over that. Then there was the fact that this is Chinese product, which instantly screams sweat-shop and low quality to me. After reading enough reviews I was able come to terms with Chinese IEMs being as good or better than their US or EU competitors.When I received my package from Amazon I was immediately impressed with VSonic's packaging and presentation. The box was easy to open, not requiring a chainsaw or blow torch like so many plastic packages do, and the product was snugly set in a form board to prevent damage during shipping. The box contained A LOT of different tips to meet the user's needs; unfortunately without any instructions on how to tell them apart. There were three "hybrid" tips (foam inside of a latex cup), one set of two flange tips, three shallow plain black latex tips, and six pairs of clear latex tips of varying size. After sorting through them for an hour I was able to figure our that the colored canals indicate sizes (relative to what I don't know) and that there were two basic shapes of each size; slightly oval and a perfect half circle. The IEMs themselves are well constructed, felt solid to the touch and have a nice rubber pumper around the edge that goes down the cable a half an inch. My only gripe is that some of the glue that sticks the rubber to the driver housing is smeared a little, giving it cheap look.Plugging them in right away gave me sub-par results, which is to be expected. Speakers of any real quality need to "break in" before they loosen up to a point where they give the listener any warmth. Some of the bad reviews may be results of people that were expecting them to be awesome right out of the box. I had to let them run for several hours with either music or white noise playing through them before I finally "got it." I also had to get the tips right. The wrong size or shape will affect the isolation, which will then let the highs and lows bleed a little, creating a tone that is nasal and mid centric. I opted for the rounded, large, hybrid tips to get the best results for me.Once I got the GR02s set up right, the difference between them and my Sony earphones were like the difference between low-def and hi-def TV. You know you like it, but you aren't really sure why until you go back to your old stuff and realize its terrible. The sound is bigger and give an impression of space between the instruments that I couldn't hear before, as well as allowing me to hear subtle little background details. The sound profile matched a lot of the descriptions I had read: solid bass, nice mids, and highs that are sufficient but lack any sparkle. Since I don't have a $100 pair of IEMs handy, I'll take their word for it. There are times where the highs do seem a little lackluster. Bass freaks that like hard hitting sub-bass are going to be disappointed by the natural, rounded bass of the GR-02s.For the money I spent on them, I think this is one of the better investments I've made. The VSoinc GR02 earphones present sound in a way that simply makes enjoying music that much easier. The tone isn't 100% perfect, but still far better than anything I've been able to get from the cheap ear buds and earphones I've used before. The improvement in audio quality is so much that I can't help but wonder how much better the $180 VSonic GR07 IEMs could be. I may become an IEM junkie now.Pros:1.) Until you try a quality IEM, you don't know what you are missing. The details of what you are listening to become so much clearer when you are using the right equipment.2.) The packaging and accessories are top notch. It gives the product a sense of quality and value to the customer you won't get from Klipsch or Sennheiser at the same price point.3.) I find them comfortable to wear for an hour without thinking about it.Cons:1.) If you don't break them in and don't use the right tip for your ears, they just won't sound that good. Its up to the user to figure out the tip situation.2.) In regards to the tips, they are a bear to get on and off. While this is a plus in that they won't just pop off at the wrong time, some users may become frustrated as they try different tips.3.) These aren't easy to find, so you are gambling a little with something you really can't try or return if you don't like them.Bottom Line: I really dig the VSonic GR02 IEMs. They make me want to listen to music not just as a distraction, but as an experience to be enjoyed. Since I have a real love for music, that is pretty special to me. Some people may not be willing to roll the dice on a set of $35 earphones from a company they have never heard of just to listen to some poorly ripped 160 bit-rate MP3s while they walk the dog. That's totally understandable, and these may not be for those people. But if you listen to music to LISTEN to music, treat your ears to a little sugar.UPDATE 07/14: I accidentally left these in the pocket of my pants when they went through the wash (not the dryer). To my surprised THEY STILL WORKED! I wouldn't suggest doing this yourself, but these are rugged enough to get wet, have detergent on them, and sloshed around in my HE washer. I let them air dry before testing them. I'm relieved and impressed.


Cheap looking

I was very unhappy with the case in the picture looks well made what I got was made out of cheap plastic


not my style but a great case!

Well the diamond bling phone case sorta surprised me, it's very stylish to some but it just wasn't MY sort of style (I'm more of a leather type, less bling type...) so a rather 3 dimensional pink diamond bling bowtie was initially rather shocking!  The case is VERY well made and the customer service is excellent. The stylus has been handy, too.  The case fit my nekkid Droid 4 quite well, and I was actually getting used to the style when my husband surprised me - we each got an S5!  I still have my Droid 4 at home as a backup wifi device, since it works GREAT on wi-fi and I still miss that great 5 row keyboard when I need to respond to those long emails in more depth and detail. At home this case has become the protector of my great little qwerty droid. The case was sent for reviewing purposes, this is my honest opinion of the case after using it for a duration.


poor

I was very upset when we opened the bluetooth and the box and contents were scattered in the shipping box. Right now we cannot get the bluetooth to work properly. At this time we are contacting Sony.I would not buy electronics again on Amazon.


Updated: Great at first, but has some problems

First I tried the Best Buy Rocketfish BT receiver, it had a really limited range... the receiver was in my living room, my office is maybe 15 ft in a straight line with 2 walls between them, and it would produce a lot of static or just cut out completely.  The Belkin HD has worked like a champ, with excellent coverage.  Well, at least compared to the Rocketfish unit, which is the only other adapter I've tried.  Plus, I like that it has optical, coax, minijack and RCA outputs.  I use an iPhone 5 so I can't take advantage of the NFC connection but the outstanding range is why I'm keeping this.Update: Audio quits unexpectedly.  iPHone 5 indicates it's still connected.  Blue light on the Belkin shows it's also still connected. But no sound from the speakers.  I have to either reboot the Belkin or switch BT off and on on my phone.  Annoying.  Think I'm going to have to return this.


Careful what you pay for!!!

This has been a disappointing and frustrating experience. The gist of the matter is that this phone is not what i took to be advertised on Amazon by Worldwide Distributors. I assumed it to be a Unlocked android device which is updated by Google, like other "Nexus" devices.When the phone arrived i noticed that the box itself was not sealed the battery was in its plastic pouch which was crumpled and was already opened. When i booted up the phone it did not ask me to log into a Google account (like a normal, new android phone would do) it booted straight into the home screen. I ignored all this, considering a couple of factors, i had to travel out of the country and needed a reliable phone and since the phone basically worked i was OK with this fact. The phone hardware itself looked new. When i contacted the seller i did not mention the above to them since it was not pertinent to the issue i had at hand which is described below.Just about a month after i receiving the phone it began to reboot continuously and i had to do a factory reset which wiped off all my data. Unfortunately i was travelling at the time out of the country and i was not able to contact the seller (Worldwide Distributors) immediately.When i contacted the seller (Worldwide Distributors) the only line i got to hear in their emails was that i was out of their month long warranty period and they would do nothing about it.After a little digging i discovered another issue, that this phone was a version of Ice Cream sandwich that is not updated by Google but rather by Samsung (This is not advertised on the product page) and even that is not happening (it is stuck on ICS version 4.0.1). This is a Japanese version of the phone which is for NTT docomo and has the yakjuxe version of the firmware.Basically the whole reason for buying this "open" phone has been nullified and i feel like i wasted $530 odd dollars over it.What happened to accountability for what Worldwide Distributors is selling?? I would never purchase another item from Worldwide Distributors again!


Great Customer service from iOttie/crappy product

I bought this and couldn't figure out how to mount it on my dashboard.  I left a really bad review on here about how crappy the product was.  The iottie company called me and the very nice lady talked me through what I was doing wrong.  I got it to mount on my dashboard just fine and LOVE it.  It was a great price as well.  This is great customer service.  To go from a 2 out of 5 rating to a 5 out of 5 is a pretty good sign and it's all because of them caring enough to go that extra step to call me and walk me through setting it up.  Then I get an email from them following up and letting me know I can call or email if I have any problems or questions.  This company really went above and beyond.  Will buy from them again for sure!!!  Thank you iottie!!!UPDATE 12/2012: Changed my review from 5 to 2.  It was wonderful for about a week and then fell off my dashboard.  I can not get it to stay stuck.  My phone weighs it down and it comes right off.  There is a sticky tab that came with it and that suctions to bottom of mount and then you stick it to your dashboard.  But it can not withhold the weight of my phone.  It is usable but a very crappy design as it does not stay on dash.


Great Deal

This case is only a penny. It was a great deal. This is just like an otterbox. Very pleased. Also, it came with a screen cover which is great.


Fantastic sound from a tiny speaker

I love this little speaker! It sounds great and is small, so very portable. Syncs easily with my iPod and iPhone. Stays charged well for a long time. I'm sure it doesn't compare to a Bose, but for 20 bucks, it's a great buy and fits my needs.


Better cases out there

As far as protecting your phone I'm sure this will handle any environment. Keep in mind it is not waterproof. I rated it a two because of a problem as far as the screen display shows. When looking at it with the phone in the case there is a rainbow effect showing on the screen when all the screws are tightened down. I emailed the seller and they said the would send another and I could return the one I have but I didn't hear back from them and have just accepted the case as it is. You can only see the rainbow when your screen is off.


Perfect!

This cable charges my Apple products exactly like it should. The 6ft length is ideal for those times when you need/want to use your device while it's charging. An added bonus is that the cable easily reaches to charge the iPad from the cigarette lighter in the dashboard to the back seat where my son sits for the long vacation roadtrips.


Not that good

Working range is not good. Also headset is too big, hardly fits in the ear.


Wireless vs. Sound Quality - Can't have both

I've had these headphones for a few months now. I bought them due to the fantastic reviews about the superior sound quality over other bluetooth (and even wired) headphones. I'm an audiophile, and I've experimented with other Bluetooth headphones--and though I've been consistently disappointed, I figured the technology might have come around to yield a pair of high-quality wireless headphones.Well, has it? Yes--and no.One reviewer here or on another site said these are studio DJ-quality headphones. That reviewer obviously never listened to studio DJ-quality headphones. Are these headphones much better than your average $35 bluetooth headsets? Yes. But don't expect to be testing tracks with these. If you're a serious audiophile, you will hear that high pitches or cymbal crashes get crackly. The bass is good, but you will hear the difference of how these headphones interpret electronic music to rock music (heavy metal fans might be disappointed with bands that use a wide range of sounds). And here's the other thing: no matter how good the quality of your headphones actually are, you're still listening to them via bluetooth. It's like radio--through even the best pair of speakers, it still sounds like radio. You *will* get interference. You will get static. I've experienced sound problems when I had my bluetooth phone next to me (I eventually disabled it), or when I had my external hard-drives running. God help you if you're in a cafe near a microwave, which will cause the sound to cut out completely. If you are looking for complete consistency in your listening experience, don't get these. If you don't care that much and just want to get wireless, you'll probably be fine. You might even find that you love them. It's a question of how much you care about the sound quality versus the wireless factor.The usability of these headphones is also a downside. Getting them to sync up (I use them primarily with a MacBook Pro) is a pain. It took me awhile to figure out that the headphones are actually connected to the computer, even though the Bluetooth icon doesn't read a transmission signal. Once you've got the hang of it, it's fine, but it always feels like a touch-and-go situation. I've had them desync on me for no apparent reason, causing me to turn them off and on again multiple times to get them to re-sync and start playing again.In closing, the fact that Sony originally priced these at $200 is laughable. If you're shelling out that kind of money for sound quality, get a real pair of wired studio phones. While the construction and comfort factor on these things is great, they should be in the $75-$100 range, no more. After a certain point, if you're buying headphones for the wireless factor, consider how badly you want good sound quality. It might be worth it to get a cheaper pair if you don't care that much. That said, if you really need the "best" of both worlds (more like the above-average of both worlds, in this case) than these are probably about as good as it's going to get.


Great fit and look on my iPhone 4S 64 GB

Received this case yesterday on the same day I received my iPhone 4S 64GB and I can tell you it met all my expectations. Not sure about some of the other comments here but I have large fat hands and it is no problem to get to the on/off sleep button on top. The cutouts on the case allow for full access to the volume and mute buttons as well.Here are some key points that made this a great case:1. Easy access to all iPhone 4S buttons, even with large and fat fingers like mine! :-)2. The case has a small lip which allows you to lie your iPhone face down and the screen doesn't touch the table.3. Material used is matte finish and slides easily without sticking in and out of my pants pocket4. Slim form factor allows for very little additional bulk to the size of the iPhone5. Felt lining protected the back of the iPhone unlike some other case that scratch the back glass6. Using this case with a screen protector on the iPhone does not make the screen protector bubble up on the sides when the case is on, it is a very snug fit but the iPone slid easily into the case even with the screen protector I got from the Apple store, brand was Power SupportI did alot of research on similar cases and found this case to really shine. Try watching the reviews on this case (and it's competitors) on Youtube to see how the cases look with an iPhone in it.


Great Phablet = Phone+Tablet Combo BUT

This is a great phone and tablet with all the features you could possibly want. I wear it in a (less than $5 from Amazon) Sun-glass type case on my belt, and the fit is perfect. But, like many other users, I was having a serious issue with the WIFI dropping out frequently. I tried all the recipes on the web and none worked. Thanks to a lead on the XDA Developers Forum I just stumbled on the answer that works here. TURN OFF THE BLUETOOTH. That is all it took to restore stability to my WIFI.Samsung needs to fix this.


Pathetic smartphone. Even more pathetic Verizon support.

Let me take you back to the time before I had Verizon and a Motorola Q, a time of bliss. Oh the days when I could plug my phone into a wall and it would charge! When the phone rang, I could answer it, and when I wanted to end the call, I could, just by pressing a button!Now, in the cruel fall of 2006, I am chained to the Q, which is chained to the incredibly poor customer service at Verizon. Imagine a man chained to a three thousand pound boulder, which is in turn chained to the planet Jupiter nearing a black hole. Yes, it's that bad.I made the mistake of purchasing a Q to send and receive calls, with an option to also send and receive data. I spent a paltry $130 a month, but this didn't seem to matter the second time my Q bricked up and refused to boot. I called tech support. "Hey tech support," I said, "this phone will randomly crash but the screen freezes. So, I'm missing calls even though it looks like the phone is fine. Plus, I'll look at the battery meter which says full, and then thirty minutes later my phone is off. And now it won't even turn on."Tech Support replies, "Have you tried unplugging the phone, removing the battery, and letting it sit?"Hmmm. No, I said. But I bought the $40 extended battery. And a car charger. And I keep both with me at all times, just in case the phone dies, or rather, for when the phone is sure to die, and I can remove the battery, plug the phone directly to the wall, and at least check the messages I missed while the phone was dead.Tech support sends me a refurbished phone - two day FedEx! They couldn't send it overnight. Perhaps there's some $300 plan where they care if you can send and receive phone calls, but it's unfortunately out of my budget.So I got my third phone. Yes, it would still crash and randomly turn off. Sometimes I would try to end a call, but it would just sit there, the minutes ticking away. The only way to recover it would be to remove the battery. You'd see me at Starbucks, sporting my Q and buying a chai latte. "Yes Bill, 200% ROI. No, totally doable. Totally." Then, I'd hit the red button, wait, furrow my brow, set all of my things on the floor, take the back cover off, remove and re-install the battery, and then turn the phone back on. That lovely Windows Mobile sound would echo like a death rattle in the cafe, and then I'd stare at it until it booted completely, to see if I missed yet another call during the resurrection.And today, I arrived at the Verizon store, for the 7th time. This time, in Atlanta. I figured, maybe it was just my small town store that couldn't handle my problem. I explained - politely as I could - and said the phone had died again, and would no longer charge. Again. I received a blank stare, and then a sticky note with a number on it. I said, "You want me to call someone at Verizon to complain about my phone that doesn't turn on?" He stared back, blankly, and without a trace of irony said, "Yes."I said, "So, there's no one at this Verizon store - this is Verizon, isn't it? - who can give me a phone, right now, that works?"He said, "No. We could give you a new phone - we're one of the few stores that stock PDA phones - but we're out of the Motorola Qs right now."I said, "Because you're replacing so many?" No answer, but a finger extending to point to my yellow sticky note. I wept quietly in the car.I returned to the client site where I was consulting, and asked if I could borrow his phone, while apologizing for not answering my broken cell phone. Lo and behold, they had a three strikes policy, and I was eligible for a different phone! He asked me to hold while he got approval, and then returned and said somberly, "Unfortunately, since you have had your account only six months, we are unable to offer you a different phone."I sat back in my chair, and tried not to spontaneously combust. "I have given you over $1300 in the past six months in service fees and equipment purchases. And I am not allowed to have a different phone, when the one you sold me doesn't work?"There was nothing he could do except try - TRY - to acquire for me a "brand new, in the box" Motorola Q. Instead, I had a different plan. I had them turn down the calling plan as much as was possible, and requested all data features be removed. Then I bought and older Verizon phone from a friend, which I will use to send and receive phone calls - hopefully - until I have found a different provider who cares to provide.So beware of Verizon and the Motorola Q if you are demanding enough require that your equipment works most of the time to send and receive phone calls. And doubly beware them if you wish to retain your sanity.


It has separated my iphone glass Twice!

I had it for 5 moth and the glass started to separate. I went to apple and they gave me a new phone thinking there was a problem with the glue. But now it has happened again, it is definitely because of the case. Good luck for the ones who have not experienced this issue. I hope you are still under guarantee if it happens to your iphone.


Smudged everywhere!

I would not advise you to get to,The color just came right off! I hate it now. Its all white, and black. My daughter came home yelling, ''Mom! this case if a rip off!'' and i asked her why of course, and she said that the color was falling off in every single class of hers. She's in high school, she doesn't wanna be seen with a Blank case. I Highly recommend you dont get this. Unless you want a blank case in just 1 week.


Failed after a single use

First time it was plugged into th car the blue light came on to show that is was on.  Plugged the Ipad in.  Seemed that the battery had been partially recharged after a very short trip.  The next trip was for many hours. Realized that the Ipad battery was low at the end of the trip.  Then realized that the blue light was not on.  Tried different outlets in the vehicle.  The charger did not work in any. Tried it in a different vehicle, still did not work.  Bought a did different brand at Wamart that works. Returned this one to AmaZon.


DOES NOT FIT iPHONE 4S

Do NOT buy this product if you intend to use it with an iPhone 4S. The sound buttons on the side are not aligned. This is an iPhone 4 case NOT iPhone 4S.


So nice

Not uplook, but other fine. Not not not, recommend, the products because the software dont are uplook in my country


Worked surprisingly perfect for such a low costing item

After reading one of the other comments for this 3.5mm stereo adapter, I decided to pick it up. I was afraid it would be cheap, because the price was so good. It works perfectly on my Motorola Droid! Volume control works for all audio, audio sounds great through your own headphones, people hear my voice clearly even when I do not clip it close to my mouth, button works to mute current call (it activates the mute feature in the software, as opposed to just a physical mute mechanism, which surprised me). Outside of a voice call, button loads default music player (by holding it down), plus pauses and plays once you are in the music program.  The one thing it did not do was end the phone call by pushing the button.  All I could was mute the call.  Holding the button down would not end the call.  However, this does not bother me in the least, because I was mainly concerned about the volume and mute controls.  In that aspect, it is rock solid.  I forgot to test and see if I could use the button to ANSWER an incoming call.  That needs to be next on my list.I am so happy with this product, I am going to order an additional one for my car.  I am still shocked that such a low costing product provides so many features that I love!  I highly suggest picking this beauty up.


Disappointing

It was supposed to be white. I already ordered the accessories for it. It was cobalt blue when it came in. Looks more like black. The s pen is missing and the hole where it goes is caked with dust. But on a good note, I fell in love with this phone the minute I powered it on. Best looking screen I ever saw on a phone. Lightning quick response, fast on the Internet, loud speakers, and for such a big phone, I can't even tell its in my pocket. I had to keep checking. The sound is great. I watched tv on Hulu with no lag. Totally worth the money. I just would suggest that you buy one somewhere besides this place.


Good attempt, horrible execution

This phone would be good if it didn't stop working after, oh, say two months.  Camera doesn't work, it freezes and resets itself, deletes all your messages or contacts.  Erases the SD card (twice now), but it is kinda durable.  Otherwise, lousy phone.


Save your Ipod and Don't buy this

I originally gave Overboard a high rating because it worked but two months after I purchased it it leaked. It was used only a few times while swimming in a YMCA pool. It wasn't abused or stressed in anyway but it still leaked and ruined the Ipod. I contacted the company because I felt it still must be under warranty. I discovered the company is located in the UK. They stated to mail the item to them; they would send it out to an independent lab and have it tested to see if the product was at fault.I wasn't going to waste the time because I got the impression the company was going to admit fault but I thought I'd provide my point and I sent it anyway. I mailed the item to the address provided and also put it to the attention of the person I had been emailing, 5 days later they received the package. Since I never heard from them I contacted the same person a few weeks after they received the package. He stated he never received it. Well that convenient especially since the company received the package 5 days after I mailed and I put it to the attention of a specific person, which I had been emailing.All of their products are made from a thin flexible plastic. I actually purchased this for my mother to use while at the pool. I've used a H2O product for over 3 years and never had a problem. After this incident I purchased another H2O product for my mother. It works great and the company is located in San Diego, CA.Here's two other reviews I located on other web sites:"Case splits and does not work. Overboard accept no responsibility for this. best avoided"Another review from another web site,"please, take my advice.... DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.it falls apart when you open it.and then it doesn't float.then your ipod will get water damage.and the company will deny your claim that it's defective.repeat: DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.in fact, run far away from it.you'll thank me later"


pretty....but kills your service!!!!

This is exactly what I would want an IPhone case to look like....sexy, shinny, very modern. But after that, it's a waste of money. For some reason the case hurts the signal finder which renders your phone pretty worthless. Also, the mirrored faceplate is already falling off 1 hour after I've put it on which is never a good sign. I would pass on this product and try to find a better version.


Love this phone, but need a deep cycle marine battery to last all day!

Wow, this phone is great and apps are wonderful, absolutely amazing. The only problem is the battery life, why do you want a cellphone that will do everything if you have to disable it to save the battery life.  I think a good deep cycle marine battery would let it run all day and hey they don't weight but about 50 lbs... ha, but the phone is fantastic.  In all reality the phone life is about 3 hours running all apps that I have installed.  I keep it pluged in every chance I get in the office, house and car.  It has not run down yet...


Simply Fantastic

I ordered my case on December 14 and got it on the 18. The leather is soft and nice, it's not as bulky as I thought it would be. I really like it so far. I'll write another review on how it hold my cash and cards.


Sprint Sanyo Pro 700

I bought this for my husband to replace his very heavy and cumbersome company cell phone. He loved it! As far as direct connect phones go, this one is great. It's just a little heavier then a pair of sunglasses and very compact. It has an extra large screen and GPS. The features are basic but handles as a phone should. It's also very rugged looking. I just wish it had a camera.


Works very well if you do not exceed its limitations

This Tekkeon 1550 has been working very well for me.  There are many detailed in depth reviews of the Tekkeon here on Amazon, so I will instead address some other issues that people seem to have.The power unit will work as designed and will be reliable if you do not exceed the limitations of the device.  Again for emphasis, do not exceed the limitations of the device and it will serve you faithfully!(There is a Summary at the end for the main highlights)1) Overloading the TekkeonDo not attach a phone or any device that will draw more than 800mAh (.8 Ah)!  Yes, this means some of those Android phones with giant screens, Dual Core Tegras, etc.  If your phone draws more than 800mAh it will overload the little Tekkeon and burn it out sooner or later!  It was not meant to supply power for those super power hungry devices.  Know the electrical specs of the device you intend to attach to it!2) Charging rechargeable batteries in the TekkeonDo not attempt to recharge partially charged batteries!  It very briefly touches on this in the manual and yes, they should have addressed it more.  With regards to charging batteries, it appears that the Tekkeon is a simple timer charger that sends a given amount of current for a fixed amount of time and then shuts off.If you try to recharge partially charged batteries, the batteries will get full too quickly before the Tekkeon turns off.  The batteries then shed this excess energy through heat.  Solution: only charge empty or near empty batteries.  You should be using a smart charger (like the La Crosse BC9009 or Maha MC9000) to recharge partially charged batteries.To be safe, I rarely use the Tekkeon to charge and instead use a smart charger.  It really is better for the batteries and for the Tekkeon this way as it was primarily designed to provide power, but in a pinch can be used to recharge.  If you find yourself with empty batteries and need to charge them, go ahead and let the Tekkeon charge them.  It can and will safely do this.  But don't use it as your main battery charger.Lastly, if you are in a bind and need to use the Tekkeon as a charger, let it fully charge them without disconnecting it.  If you do have to unplug it before the cycle finishes, do not immediately replug it back in to charge more.  When you unplug it, this will reset the timer and the result will be too much charge at the end of the charge cycle as explained above.Restated again, if you do disconnect it before the charge cycle finishes, do not try to charge them again in the Tekkeon until the batteries have been run down.  Or take them out and use a smart charger to finish them off.3) Tekkeon does not charge my smartphone/device fast enoughModern smartphones need the data pins (D+ and D-) on the USB cable to be shorted. This lets the smartphone know that it is connected to a USB power that can supply more than 500mAh.In the android world, most phones can sense three conditions:a) No cable attachedb) USB power attached -- phone will draw max 500mAhc) AC power attached -- phone will know it can draw over 500mAhI suspect this is related to the slow charging issue.  In the Fall of 2009, all of the major cell manufacturers and governing bodies agreed to standardize on the MicroUSB plug to charge cell phones.  The standard also specified the shorting of the USB data pins to let devices know they are attached to a high power USB port.My android phone detects the Tekkeon as USB power, so it draws only 500mAh from it.  I am perfectly fine with it charging at 500mAh instead of 700-800.  It takes a little longer, but it still charges.For the Tekkeon to supply more current to your device, the idea is to 'trick' your phone into thinking it is connected to AC power when it is really connected to the Tekkeon.  This is can be done with a `Charge Only' type cable (where the D+ and D- pins are shorted together).  But do not exceed 800mAh as discussed above!!  You would need to also check how you phone senses how different chargers are attached.4) The attached device discharges into the Tekkeon(i.e. the Tekkeon discharges my phone after it finishes charging my phone).I suspect this happens when the batteries in the Tekkeon are near empty and it just finishes charging up the device.  Best I can offer is, try to always unplug the Tekkeon from the device when finished charging OR when all three power level LEDs on the Tekkeon turn off.  If there is not much power left in the Tekkeon, it will only partially charge your device and the Tekkeon LEDs will all turn off..Unplug it!  Perhaps there is no one way flow regulator built in (any EE people care to chime in?).  This is probably due to the fact that the Tekkeon also has to be able to charge batteries, so power flows both ways.Summary:1) Don't overload your little Tekkeon, 800mAh or less!2) Don't use it for recharging batteries (use only in emergencies and with fully depleted batteries).  Use a separate smart charger!3) Be patient when it is charging or use a cable with the USB Data lines shorted, but pay attention to #1 above!4) Unplug your device from the Tekkeon when it's finished.P.S. I use Eneloops in the Tekkeon and they work well together.


Cingular's 6682 semi-smart phone is a solid piece of work.

I got my 6682 as an insurance replacement after my other phone went sliding down the highway at 75 mph.... :(  The increase in size took a while to get used to, but now I like the solid feel of a palm size phone.  The screen is very high resolution and the 1 meg pics look good once they are on the computer.  As long as you have a newer computer and good internet, loading the drivers and synching software - while tedious - works well.  This phone has replaced my Palm Tungsten for all practical purposes... it is my alarm, date/appointment minder and throw down picture taker.The web based stuff is slow, but adequate for getting information on a cell phone... news, weather, e-mail in an emergency.I have not tried blackberry products, but on what phone knowledge, I do have, I recommend this product.  If you are a music buff, I would recommend a higher capacity card.  If the card is loaded to the gills, the phone tends to hang and all the good things I just said go out the window... :)All the best,Jay


Similar performance to OEM battery

First, this battery is mislabeled - it's a 1750mAh battery. So, I wouldn't expect it to provide much more charge than the stock 1500mAh Samsung battery, and unfortunately, I wasn't surprised. I've had time to "prime" the battery now (5 to 6 charges) and have been using for about three weeks now. It has almost identical performance to the OEM battery... maybe 1 hours more charge.There are 3000mAh replacement batteries out there (you can get them at Best Buy) but it requires an expanded rear compartment... I didn't really want to increase the size of my phone. How lame would that be? So, I've got two batteries for long days of travel, a car charger, and keep a watch on power-sapping applications.Finally, I did some research on battery life. Busted Myth #1 - "let your battery run down before recharging." I was actually told this by my tech guys at work... totally bunk. With Lithium Ion batteries, you want to run down to about 35% charge before a recharge - this will add hundreds of charges to the life of your battery. Basically, you've got a choice of taxing your battery's life by running it down, or dealing with more frequent recharges and keeping your battery fully functional for another year.Busted Myth #2 - "Don't overcharge with a high power AC or car adapter" - totally bunk. Your phone will only suck up what it needs. Additional charging capacity stays at the source. So, get the Motorola 1000mAh car charger, not the crappy Samsung 700mAh.Finally, heat is a major batter killer. Heat + charging is the worst battery killer. Hence, PowerMat chargers are absolutely toxic to batteries because of the conductive heat generated during charging. Stay away from those things. Keep spare batteries cool (out of your car and direct sunlight) and with at least a 40% charge --> Never let Li-Ion batteries run down to completely empty. You'll kill their recharge sensor making them useless.


not great, but ok

I got this phone for my father.  The phone is simple enough but could be simpler as far as usage.  The ease of use for someone who is elderly is just ok, honestly if they don't already know how to use a cell phone (access address book etc) this phone is not that intuitive.  The worst though is when you call the phone.  My dad can hear me, but to me he sounds like he's talking into a tin can underwater.  I haven't found anything else and it took so long for him to get used to this one, therefore I hesitate to replace it.  The emergency button is a great feature, just wish this phone was more user friendly and of a higher quality.


Awful range and terrible quality but good fit

I bought this product from amazon to pair with my laptop and mp3 player.  Unfortunately, it has horrible range, extending out only to about 7 feet and only if there is a clear line of sight.  In any other case, the audio quality drops off precipitously.  I have tried pairing this with both my macbook pro and my mp3 player and in both cases the range is terrible.  Also, simply waking around wearing the headphones with the mp3 player in my pocket yielded terrible static as well.On the plus side, it does have a very good fit--snug yet not uncomfortable for long uses.  The fit also does a very good job of blocking out ambient sound, though not as well as dedicated noise canceling systems.  Pairing with devices was similarly without problem.These headphones would have rated better if not for the poor range, which effectively negates any advantage of having wireless headphones.


Not my best decision...

I have a few things to point out about this wallet case:1. There is no way you can fit credit cards in it or even money since when you put the phone in it's already hard to close.2. Between the leather and the credit card holder you can fell something like cardboard and a little padding that only makes the wallet fatter.3. The pink TPU is glued to the leather and it does not seems very resistant, 1 hour of use and is already ripping appart.4. That hideous smell. (I'm not picky about that, I want to think it will fade away eventually and I hope this happens before the TPU becomes independent from the leather wallet).5. The most important thing and the main reason that made me dislike this wallet: The TPU lifts the screen protector ALL THE TIME. There is no way to fit it properly and I am a pro placing those, I tried getting the phone in the case with the screen protector already on the first time and it was a failure, the second time I placed the protector after getting the phone on the case with the same results.Besides the fact that is pink and I like girly colors I will admit that I deeply regret buying this case.If you are not going to put money or cards in it, if you dont use a screen protector, if you have magic glue to reattach the TPU to the leather and if your sense of smell is permanently damaged then this case is for you!!!!


ehhhh, not convenient....

The blue light indicators are too bright, so I couldn't use the case while I was playing around with my phone. The lights bothered me a lot.I couldn't connect my headphone because of the design.It's a bit heavy as you might expect it to be.Unless you want to blow up your phone, do not charge your phone and the case at the same time. This is stupid since you have to charge the battery, then use the battery top charge the phone. Only 50% charging capacity if your phone is idle worth few passive apps. Just doesn't make any sense.


Great phone and SIM card for a trip to italy

Nice neat small cell phone that comes with $5 credit on and included SIM card which should be enough to get you started in case you have to make a call. After doing a bit of searching, this seems to be the best combination for an "Emergency/Short Conversation" phone that will work in Europe (not in the both US and Europe unless it is not "Quad Band" - I think the only drawback for a phone this price).The phone is small enough to be hidden in a fist and comes with  a few small folded manuals and a simple headset/earbuds. Did not yet try out as we did not go on the trip yet.  Comes with a headset and a adapter which has a us plug and also plug adapter to fit the two round prong outlets (like Italy)and will work with both US and European voltage.If you receive calls in the right countries (France, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom), it is free (no charge against the included SIM card) but will cost the caller whatever the charge is for their country to call you as long as the +44 (UK) number is used. To call the phone when it is in one of those countries from the US you have a few options (check their website for current rates and plans):- Call the provided 800 number, put in the phone's +44 number, and you can talk at no additional cost for a total of 30 minutes; more than that, 49 cents/minutes gets charged against the SIM card credit- go to their website where you can put more money the sim card and also get a US number for the phone (no additional charge); when that number is called from the US, the rate when I wrote this was 30 cents a minute charged against the SIM card- call from a US home or cell phone (rates vary - may be close to 30 cents/minute or much more) or with a service like gmail (about 18 cents/minute) and in this case it is charged to the caller's bill, with no charges against the SIM card in those countries. Please note when researching rates it is more expensive to call a UK mobile number which this is than a landline.- Sending texts to the US number will cost 15 cents. Sending texts back is 75 cents.All of the above will still work if you put the SIM card in another GSM phone, so even if the phone gets broken you should be able to use another compatible phone and still use the same number.The simplest way to use it is If you want to call someone back home, just call them from the phone (cost 99 cents minute) or text them (75 cents), give them the US number and tell them to call you (again, 30 cents/minute).


No instructions.

I have to rate it one star because this is my first experience with solar things and there are no instructions.  Not everybody is an expert.  I haven't used it.  I went to their website, no instructions.  I imagine it should be simple but at least tell me how to start.


Excellent

This product is great. The price was very reasonable for everything it came with. I received everything that was listed and it was in excellent shape!


Great case for a great price!

I've had this case for about a month now. I waited to review it so that I could give a feel for the longevity of the case. So far it has held up exceptionally well. When you spend less that $2 on a case you aren't buying something that will hold up. So I thought. For a month this case has been in and out of my pocket countless times and the painted sections of the case look the same as the day I received it. The holes cut in the case are perfect. Any headphones you use with your iPhone will fit perfectly. The sync/charging cable fits without a problem and it provides easy access to side buttons.My only sort of complaint is that it isn't the tightest of cases. It fits well and won't just fall off but it's not 100% snug.But for the money and the great aesthetic design you won't find a better deal. Must buy.


It's cute

I like it it's cute for only 9 dollars.. But the plastics looks very cheap.. I bought 2 and one came with a stain and lifted protector on the front.. So when I pushed the adhesive down it looks like a crack in the front. Other than than I like it...


Good... for now

Bought for my T-Mobile Galaxy S2. It didn't come in any fancy packaging, just the battery itself. It looks new and clean as if it was never used before. It is an original legit OEM Samsung battery like the picture.I'm only giving it 3 stars (for now) because the battery did come on a complete dead charge. Thats not cool and kind of annoyed me a bit. However once it got charged up, it seems to work well like my stock battery that came with the phone.We'll see how well the battery holds up and if all is well, I'll update my review and rating. Always good to have a spare battery. Now I have 3700mah of power with me when I'm out and about, and now I can enjoy pornhub on the go.


Good Features Crap Phone

So after owning this phone for about 2 months the keyboard just up and quit on me. So I had to use the screen to type out message which was fine but the keyboard was a selling point of the phone. The Operating System tends to have lots of lag and after owning it for about 6 months there we so many glitches on this phone It was nearly unusable. The features on it are neat which is the only reason why it got a 3 star rating but without them it would have taken an easy 1. I do not recommend this phone though because you can get better ones for less


Great Case!!!!!!!!!!!

I searched for hours to find an Iphone 4s that was Aesthetically pleasing but kept the "bulge" out of "safety". I have seen many types of Cases and bumpers and many of my friends own the Defender Case; it felt like a rock in my hand. The MAIN purpose of new technology is to increase pro-activity, within such a small device. Cell Phones are getting smaller, stronger, and faster. Adding a thick case to your phone DEFEATS the purpose of buying an Iphone. You might as well buy a smarth phone withj a 4.7" screen.This Case was well worth the $30. The Rubber bumpers extrude out in all directions so if and when it falls the bumpers are in contact first. THIS case has a hard but great feeling plastic on the surfaces, with rubber bumpers on the corners. This case Keeps the Phone almost the SAME weight and SIZE!!!The looks are great for people who are into industrial/engineering environments.The only reason why this gets 4 stars is because the ( + - ) volume tabs are flush with the surface, so if you closed your eyes, and tried the inc/dec volume, you couldnt FEEL the location; unless you first feel the Silent switch ( which by the way fits AMAZINGLY perfect ). The rims of the case can push against your clear screen protector creating an bubble pocket on the edges.I have big/small fingers and the access to the iphone with this case is GREAT.Pros: Looks, style, feel, protection, ease of use/installing, and maintaining the SLIM effect as your iphone perseves itself to be... THINcons: Could push your creen protector creating air gap, +- buttons dont "pop" out enoughIf you are going to pay more than $50, buy the water proof case that goes for $70 (best case out there). If you want to spend $40 or lower, get this case.. hands down the BEST!!


ITS NOT UNLOCKED!!!

I had this phone on May, 17th and it was advertised as Unlocked in Amazon.com but it is not unlocked. It is just At&t regular phone which is given free when you had contract.


BIG DISAPPOINTMENT

I love the design. I love the colors.And I loved all the reviews that I saw on here.But I am disappointed.Once you put the phone in the case, you cannot press the volume buttons or the power button.There is no feedback, it just feels mushy. It's impossible to press the button.As far as the screen protector, it's also the same in regards to how I feel about it.I love the material. It's thick instead of the thin plastic you usually see but the edges around the buttons on the bottom and the top of the ear piece stick out and I feel that it will stick on to something else and start peeling. Basically it will not stay stuck on.Overall disappointment. I am debating to return this product and just get a speck case. Those might scratch on the back but you can press all the buttons and get the same level of protection.REVIEW JUNE 2First off I want to thank CellKase.The new case they sent me is a little better. But it'd be a stretch to say that they fixed the problem.The power button is still harder to press. There is a SMALL amount of feed back but you have to press in the right area.The volume rocker is a little better but overall this case is out of poor design.I feel like it is sturdy and a strong case just the buttons are not providing enough feedback and its just like pressing on nothing.Overall I am still disappointed as I love the design and the coverage this case provides.I will mull it over the next few days and decide whether or not if I want to keep the case.


A Really Good Backup Battery

I wanted a back up, genuine Samsung battery for my Note 3 because they are described as making huge demands on batteries. And I didn't want to hear the patented speech, "We can't help you because you didn't use a Samsung battery." The cost was higher but it gave me peace of mind. Lastly I have used it a handful of times and it has worked flawlessly. So I am pleased and can recommend it without hesitation.


a REAL MANS case !

this case is pretty awesome. looks pretty damn tough, and Ive tested multiple times, is pretty damn tough.- comes with a rubber cover for extra protection, but Ive only used it for the times I'm doing sport activities, the plastic shell is more than enough (Ive slammed it down on concrete without the rubber cover and it was perfectly fine)- slides in and out of pocket very easily (without the rubber cover)- no watermarks on screen protector (I also have a sreenprotector on the iPhone itself, so that could be helping with the no watermarks)now the bad- after prying it open a dozen or so times, the case started squeaking in certain places, no biggie, and I'm sure its still structurally sound, but a firm grip will bring out the squeak.- dust gets inside and I have to open it up once a week to wipe down the screen and inside of the screen protector...takes 30 seconds.UPDATE from APRIL 15, 2012The case fell face down on the concrete, and was run over by a Truck...a delivery truck, back wheel smash, ...I pick it up expecting the worst, open it up and glass shards fall out...the back plate, smashed into pieces, everything else...PERFECT !!! the case doesnt close shut all the way now, and the front protector has rocks embedded into it...but I still have a phone and a new backplate for 10 dollars on the way. Will buy again !!One thing I didnt mention in the first review, if youre not paying attention when you use the holster and put the phone in quickly, without a good click....the phone will fall out, and you will have to use the FIND MY PHONE app...but thats just something to pay attention to.


Lanyard for stylus pens

The lanyards are great. I was excited when they got here, and love the convenience they provide for not losing my stylus. My daughter just saw one that I had and was even more excited when I gave it to her. Thank you for your quick shipment and for carrying something so useful.


I really wanted to love this phone

I have to say, when I ordered my Storm, I really wanted to love it. I have an Apple iTouch and was used to typing on the Apple iPod keyboard. It was quite easy. I also owned a Blackberry Curve and have used Blackberry devices since my original 850 which looked more like a pager.I liked the look of the iPhone, but most of the people I know that have it don't really like the AT&T; service (at lease in the USA.) So the thought of a iPhone like device on the VerizonWireless network, which I've had great experience with, was welcomed with great anticipation. Unfortunately, the Storm turned out to be a dark storm.I'm not going to detail the lockups and problems with the camera starting when pressing keyboard letters. I know these are software problems and will be fixed as RIM releases software patches. But oh, the keyboard. If it had only had a touch screen like the iPod. I found typing on the iPod vs. the Storm to be like night and day. The iPod is smooth, you get the characters you want when you press the virtual keyboard on the screen.With the Storm, there's no predicting what letter will really appear when you press the keys. And after over a week of practice, I experienced almost no improvement. They keyboard just isn't implemented well. Plus, the keys to the far right and left of they keyboard, near the edge of the Storm, sometimes just won't even register they key press unless you press quite hard. I kept debating, how long should I keep it. But after a week, when spending almost 10 minutes typing an e-mail that could easily have been typed on the Curve in less than a minute, sealed the deal. It was time for the Storm to go back.I will agree with most of the comments in the other reviews. If your need is for multimedia or web browsing, the Storm is a good choice. If you need to type information or e-mails, it is not going to be a good fit. And although Verizon Wireless in my opinion is the better wireless service, if you must get a device, I'd really suggest you consider the iPhone. It will do what the Storm does better than the Storm, and with its superior keyboard, it even does e-mail better than the Storm.


Claims to give approx 40% charge, but only 30% in reality

I purchased this because I was suckered into its portability and beauty, but essentially, we all want it to do what it claims to. I was led to believe that this would give a charge of 60% before I bought it. When I received it, I tested it. Fully charged it, it brought my 20% iPhone 4S to 50% and wouldn't move.I emailed Mophie and was told this was designed for approximately 40%. Mine was NEVER 40%. I would be happy if it started at 40% and diminished gradually over time, but brand-new, and it gave me 30%. Not happy with this product.


It started out well....

I originally ordered this item to use at the gym...it worked well for aoubt 8 weeks, then the volume control button quit working...it was sent back to Motorola...I was told to sent ALL of the equipment back....8 weeks later and MANY phone calls and emails later, I received just the headset back....another 6 weeks I finally got an adapter back and this unit worked 4 weeks....the headset is now in the trash....I assume that if you are not using it at the gym it might serve your purpose....I have vowed NOT to buy anything else motorola....


Cheap Phone...

This phone is a very cheap phone. I kept getting error messages when I tried to use the messengers. Very small memory... It also doesn't hold up when getting run over, lol, that doesn't hurt the rating though. This phone might be okay for a 3 year old.


What a Shame

I will buy no more at amazonVery poor service at The OEM ShopI got a wrong item,I ask for 8520 white, paid for it, but received a 82 something.Retunr cost was on me, still I also paid for and sent itenm back.At the end, I got nothing, because they now are out of stock.Shame on you.Selected just one star, because I couldn't get lowerAt the end I think I will reeceive credit on my account.BUTI WILL BUY NO MORE AT AMAZON


Durable, rugged world phone with only a few minor quirks

(Be sure to check out the updates at the bottom of the review!)This phone is built like a tank. It's ruggedized, water- and dust-resistant, yet is pleasant to use.I've sorted my various comments on this phone into numbered sections below:Package Contents:The package includes the phone, a manual each for English and Spanish, an AC wall charger (a two-prong CEE 7/16 Europlug, supports 120-240 volts and 50-60 Hz, also comes with a Europlug-to-US-plug adapter in the shipping box), and micro-USB stereo headphones with a built-in microphone (for phone use) and an integrated antenna for the phone's FM radio function.Data/Charging Connections:The phone can charge with any standard microUSB power source. I have connected it to my PC, a different brand USB charger, and the phone's included charger and all of them were able to charge it without complaint. Please note that the trim around the charging port on the phone is such that standard-thickness microUSB plugs may have some difficulty fitting. The included charger has a permanently-attached microUSB plug with much thinner trim so it fits properly. A standard-thickness microUSB cord I had lying around the house was able to fit for charging and data-transfer, but it didn't seem as securely attached as the thin-trim one. Using the Samsung Kies software (downloadable from their website) and the standard-thickness microUSB cable, I was able to connect the phone to my computer, charge the battery, and synchronize contacts.There is no need to buy the special "Samsung Data Cable" listed at the time of this writing under the "Frequently Bought Together" section for this phone. That cable is not microUSB and will not connect to any port on this phone. That cable seems to be for older, non-microUSB Samsung phones and is not needed for this phone.To use the microUSB port one needs to open a small, gasketed flap on the side of the phone. Thus, the phone is not dust- or water-resistant while plugged in.Call Quality/ReceptionCall quality on T-Mobile in the US is quite good. The built-in earpiece in the phone produces crisp, clear sound. The microphone is also good (somewhat better than other mobile phones I've used), but is not on-par with landline phones. Considering that the microphone is water-resistant, this is is not a major problem.Reception in the Phoenix and Tucson (Arizona, USA) metropolitan areas on T-Mobile is excellent and comparable to other phones. There are a few dead spots on the interstate between the two cities, but this is also the case with other major networks like Sprint and Verizon and other model phones. Outside my apartment in Chandler (suburb of Phoenix), the phone displays "full bars" of service. Inside, it is about half of the outside coverage, depending on which room I'm in. Call quality in either case is the same.The phone supports four GSM bands: 900/1800 MHz (used in much of the world) and 850/1900 MHz (used in the US and Canada), and so can be used anywhere in the world that has GSM service for voice, SMS, EDGE, and GPRS. Additionally, the phone supports UMTS 900/2100 MHz for faster 3G data speeds. If my understanding of frequency allocations is correct, 900/2100 MHz UTMS service is not available in North America and nearly all of South America and so this phone is not capable of 3G data speeds in these areas.I'll be moving to Switzerland in the next few weeks and will update the review accordingly to see if UMTS service is available there. (It is! See update #1 at the bottom.)Battery Life:Battery life seems excellent, going several days of light-to-medium usage between charges. The phone comes with a 1300mAh battery.User Interface:The rubberized, water-resistant keypad is easy to use. There is a very slight raised dot on the "5" key to help identify it by touch, but it is subtle. Other than the keypad (which includes the directional button for navigating the interface), there are three external buttons: the two-button rocker switch (used for turning the volume up and down and for zooming with the built-in camera) and the LED flashlight button. The flashlight button is not affected by the "keypad lock" option in software, and so may turn on while in one's pocket (this has happened several times to me, though I usually catch it before it drains more than one bar from the battery).The top of the phone has the LED flashlight and a built-in loop for connecting the phone to a strap or other restraint (nice touch!). The loop also extends to the back of the phone, which has the camera (no flash for the camera), the speaker (for speakerphone, ringing, etc.), and the locked door for the battery compartment/SIM card/microSD card. When viewing the front of the phone, the flashlight power switch is on the top of the right edge of the phone, while the volume rocker switch is on the top of the left edge.The display can appear somewhat dim in bright sunlight, and is completely unreadable in sunlight if one is wearing sunglasses (tested with non-polarized sunglasses). The screen is perfectly readable indoors or at night. The brightness control is entirely manual: it will not auto-dim indoors, or automatically brighten outdoors like some other phones. There are options to adjust the time the backlight of the keypad and screen stays on. The menu system is usually quite good, but there are some quirks: the Bluetooth settings is listed under the "Apps" menu, while the GPS feature is under "Settings/Phone".The "Apps" menu can have items added based on your carrier and SIM card. For example, my Orange Switzerland SIM card adds an "Orange" App to the menu, which includes things like information about sports, finance, etc. while my T-Mobile USA SIM does not.The very top of the main menu shows the signal meter, EDGE/UMTS status, and indicators for Bluetooth (enabled/disabled/transferring data), microSD (indicates whether the card is present and flashes when accessing the card), current sound profile (Normal, Silent, etc.), a battery meter, and the clock (hours/minutes only; seconds are not displayed). The remaining portion of the main menu can be customized in various ways. It comes by default with the "Smart home" enabled (which includes options for text messaging, contacts, displaying the calendar, etc. on the main menu), though one can switch to one of several simple clock displays if one wishes.Language/Localization:The phone supports numerous languages, including German, English, Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Turkish, Dutch, and several other languages I do not recognize (each of the languages is displayed in that language). As the phone seems to be made for the European market, the English text has a distinctly British feel (with text such as "Synchronise" rather than the US spelling of "Synchronize", along with "Organiser" instead of "Organizer"). There is no option to use a localized dialect of a language (that is, there is no US English option).The date format can be set to several options: DD/MM/YYYY (Europe), MM/DD/YYYY (US), YYYY/DD/MM, YYYY/MM/DD. It can display the time in 12- or 24-hour modes. There is the option of automatically setting the date, time, and time zone from the network; doing so also respects your date/time display preferences. One odd language quirk: The "Downloads" option on the main menu always displays its contents in Spanish, regardless of the chosen language (I've tried both English and German).Due to the various formatting of phone numbers used worldwide, the phone does not attempt to display phone numbers (either dialed directly or when stored in the contact list) in any particular style. For example, if one wished to dial toll-free directory assistance in the US, US-specific phones would display "1-800-555-1212". This phone simply displays the numbers as "18005551212" with no formatting.Navigation:The phone has a built-in GPS receiver which can, after acquiring satellites, display your latitude, longitude (both in DDD.DDDDD format), and altitude. The altitude is only displayed in meters, and there is no option for displaying it in feet if one wishes. It takes about two minutes to acquire satellite signal and acquire a position fix while outside with a clear view of the sky. It does not appear that the phone caches GPS data between uses (presumably it completely powers off the GPS receiver when not in use), as if one gets a fix, closes the GPS application, and immediately re-opens it, the phone still needs to go through the time-consuming acquisition process again. Unless one has a map with detailed latitude/longitude grid squares, the GPS receiver is useless for navigation. It does not allow one to enter waypoints or coordinates as a destination, but simply displays its own current location. The phone supports J2ME (Java Micro Edition, for mobile devices) applications and there are several fairly barebones navigation applications available for J2ME-enabled phones, but they don't compare to standalone GPS receivers or smartphones in terms of functionality.There is an included Google Maps application (as well as Facebook and Twitter), but this requires use of data services which I do not have on my T-Mobile subscription, so I have not yet tested them.The phone also has an application for accessing the built-in magnetic compass. After a simple calibration procedure (turn the phone as depicted on the screen), the compass is reasonably accurate. However, it is extremely basic and not really suitable for serious navigation.Bluetooth:Bluetooth connections are easy to set up, and I was able to transfer 144 name cards and several digital photos to and from my other mobile phone in about two minutes. Due to the lack of a data plan on my carrier, I have not yet tested the phone as a data modem. Transferring lots of photos to/from the phone is relatively slow, as the phone does not support the latest higher-speed Bluetooth standards. If you don't mind waiting, it's perfectly functional.Text Entry/Messaging:In addition to regular text entry, the phone also supports T9 predictive text entry which can make text messaging faster. Not all text entry fields support T9: composing an SMS message does, but entering names into the contact list does not.The phone can store 1300 SMS messages on internal memory. My T-Mobile SIM can only hold 30. It does not appear that one can store text messages on the microSD card.microSD Storage:I installed a Kingston 8GB microSD card in the phone (it fits under the battery, next to the SIM card, rather than in a slot on the side of the phone). After being formatted by the phone, I am able to access the card as expected (saving photos, sound, etc.)From the box, most of the phone's internal memory is filled with the included ringtones, images, themes, etc. I highly recommend using a microSD card.Multimedia:The phone has a simple MP3 player, which works as expected. It's not really a substitute for a proper music player. The phone can play MP3 ringtones. The built-in 2MP camera is ok, but not great. There's no flash for the camera.Interestingly enough, the phone has a built-in FM radio. The antenna is built into the included microUSB stereo headphones/microphone cable, and so the radio is useless if one doesn't have the original headphones (which are not bad). It can auto-scan for active frequencies, so one doesn't have to scan through static. It can also record audio from the FM radio to a sound file on the phone's internal memory or microSD card. If the station broadcasts additional data (e.g. station name, artist, song name, etc.) on a sub-channel, the phone will display this information.Data:The phone has a basic web browser and other data functions. It's no replacement for a smartphone or computer. I would not recommend using this phone for data-intensive functions as you're likely to be disappointed.Conclusion:This phone is only slightly larger than most phones and is built much more ruggedly. It's reasonably priced for an unlocked, unbranded quad-band phone, and appearance-wise it looks nice (it doesn't look as "chunky" as other ruggedized phones).It's a refreshing change from feature-rich yet fragile smartphones with a one-day battery life. It won't win any beauty or feature contests, and there's a few minor quirks as noted above, but this is a solid, everyday phone.==========Update #1: August 27, 2011: Greetings from Switzerland! As expected, this phone works great on the various Swiss networks (I've used it on Orange and Sunrise, and it works on both their GSM and UMTS/3G networks without problems. It's a shame that the phone won't work on UMTS frequencies in the US.). Call quality is good on either network, and battery life is in the "more than one week" range (though I habitually charge my phone when it reaches about 1/3rd charge, just so I'm never stuck with a dead battery).As a test, I immersed the phone in a sink filled with water for several minutes, and the phone worked as normal (though it did bubble ominously for a short while; this is normal, and is just air bubbles between the waterproof inside and the outer shell escaping). Similarly, I've made calls in the rain without any problems.The built in camera is not bad for a phone camera. Nothing to write home about, but I'm satisfied.My requirements for a phone are simple: place and receive calls, send and receive the occasional text message, and occasionally use the camera when I don't want to carry my "Look at me! I'm a tourist!" Nikon DSLR (or when it's raining out). I don't browse the internet, check my email, or do anything like that with my phone. For these purposes, I've been quite satisfied with this phone.==========Update #2: May 14, 2013: As part of a recent university-sponsored research expedition, I traveled to the desert of Oman to search for meteorites. Naturally, I took my phone with me. As expected, the phone was completely resistant to the rather extreme environment: days were hot and dusty with kilometers of foot searches (the phone was in my pocket) and car searches (the phone was in the cupholder, bouncing around), nights were cool with moisture condensing on exposed surfaces (we slept outside and the phone was exposed to the open air at night and was completely soaked with dew in the morning), high winds and dust storms, etc. The only improvements I'd like to see is some sort of inductive charging so one doesn't need to open the sealed charging port in order to charge the phone -- I had to charge the phone in the vehicle's glove compartment to minimize exposure to dust while charging -- and support for higher-current charging. The phone only charges at 500mA, so it can take several hours to fully charge the battery. If it could charge at 1A or 2A it would dramatically speed up the charging process.It's had no problem charging off of both the official Samsung wall charger, third-party (both wall-socket and car chargers), and improvised 5V DC power supplies I cobbled together in the lab (some capacitors and a 7805 linear regulator or a switch-mode regulator with the associated external components work well) when I let the battery run down by mistake.The phone also continues to work well in Switzerland, both in my lab and outdoors. It has survived (brief) splashes of liquid nitrogen (about -200C/-320F) in the lab and longer-term exposure to -10C to -20C temperatures outside. Even after several years of fairly heavy use the phone appears to be in good shape: there are a few scuffs around the outside of the phone, a few scratches on the screen (though less than expected. None affect the visibility of the screen.), and the silver coating on the rim of the directional pad button is beginning to wear off, exposing a copper-colored material underneath (though it requires a close look to see). The battery still holds a charge for over a week on UMTS/3G, with an extra day or two if the UMTS/3G radio is disabled and one only uses GSM. The seals are still intact and the number keys have not worn off. It's definitely not in "like new" condition anymore, but I'd definitely rank it as "good or better" condition.Conclusion: this is one rugged phone and has held up well to some punishing service over the years. I highly recommend it.


Great Protection

I love this case. It clips on real easy and it feels great to the touch. It does not hinder the functionality of the phone and it gives the phone a nice clean look. A great buy!


so bad.i was expect this item but this is so bad.

so bad.i was expect this item but this is so bad.so im disappoinment this item.never buy again this brand name.


To the Point!

Fast delivery, small but not to small to hold comfortably. Sharp, precise, like a fine line pen! Comes with a lanyard to attach to Kindle so it will not get lost. Love it!


Great looking bumper

I just received my red bumper today, it looks amazing I love it! I hope it lasts quite a while because it looks great on my iphone, I want to order a couple more but want to see how this one holds up first:) and super fast shipping!


Best Blackberry yet!

I just purchased this Blackberry 9310 two days ago and let me tell u this! By far its the best blackberry I purchased. The service is fast as heck! And the battery life is second to none. The youtube videos are clear as heck! The email is messages going out and coming in are fast. I love this phone! The os7 is smooth. I had androids and an iphone 4! The os blackberry has is smooth. Oh, and the keypad is great! And I have big hands. This phone is well worth the money.


Battery can't be replaced - buy a new unit!

This is a throw away product as the battery can't be replaced.  The company says that if the battery fails after the warrantee period, you have to buy a new unit.  They refuse to state an upper temperature limit, even though the unit is to be used in a car that can go to 140 degrees easy.


Best Phone on Virgin Mobile Network

I also purchased this phone through the Virgin Mobile Website. They had a similar deal as Amazon but I got free financing for 6mos. with VM. Now, the phone is well worth the $200-250 price. I upgraded from a LG slider 3G phone and I wish I had switched earlier. For those not familiar with VM its the best deal around, now that they have decent 4G phones. The phone itself is thin and sleek. It is very similar to the HTC One which is their flagship phone. It does not have the aluminum body but the back is the anti-slip rubber compound which feels nice in your hand. The screen is large enough and is bright. If you want a larger screen buy a tablet. This device is a phone.Pros: great sound with speakers on the front of the device. movies and web look great.Cons: camera stinks, especially in low light (inside your house)


Great headset, but not for heavy running

I'd been looking for an active headset that I could use for running/trail running even through a slight drizzle. This served as a great headset, although not exactly for what I had in mind.Pros:As a headset - this is quite nice, has great sound quality, all the controls you could need are conveniently located on the 'necklace'. You can link multiple devices via bluetooth, but only one phone that you can actually connect to for a call. I have 2 phones, so I end up being able to use the other only as an MP3 player with this. For everyday wear, it is very comfortable, and even easy to forget you have it around your neck. o far has shown great reslience to moisture and sweat (and I sweat a lot!)Cons:The fact that it can't pair fully with my 2 phones is a bit annoying. But even more annoying is the fact that when running on a trail, or after some long distance running, the 'necklace' starts to hurt my collarbone - it is somewhat heavy, and keeps bobbing up and down, very noticeably on trail running. I can resolve this if I wear a polo T-shirt, and tuck this under the collar. But I'm not so sure I want heavy trail running wearing a polo T. If there was some mechanism of clipping this to your T-shirt to prevent it from jumping up and down and repeatedly striking your collarbone, it would get 5 stars.
