Just what I needed!!!

SanDisk MicroSDHC Memory Adapter SDSDQU 032G AFFP A

Bought this card to use with my Samsung Galaxy Tab2 7in tablet, based on others who have reported getting it to work in their Galaxy Tab 2.

Bottom line, you gotta reformat this card as FAT32 with 32kb sectors to work in the Galaxy Tab 2, and that requires jumping thru some hoops as Win6/Vista does not even offer the choice to format as FAT32, only as NTFS or exFAT, neither of which will work with the Galaxy Tab 2 (Android v4.04) You have to use 3rd party software to accomplish this. A FREE solution is the EaseUS Partition Master free software you can download from cnet or direct from EaseUS. I had a commercial package already installed (Acronis DiskDirector) that I used.

Once fomatted as FAT32 with 32kb sectors, the card is recognized AND all the space is seen and useable.

Highly recommended if you need the space. I would assume that this would also make LARGER microSDXC cards work as well

Good Phone

Samsung Gravity Unlocked Keyboard Bluetooth

I am not on the bandwagon. I do not desire at ALL to have a smart phone with the associated $30/month data plan. So this phone is a nice divide between the realms of smart and "dumb" phones. On a trip to Atlanta, I was able to call and have TMobile turn on the data to this phone where I was able to search the internet AND use online maps to find nearby eateries. I was able to use facebook at that time too, but as I don't require that kind of interconnection on a regular basis, I had the data shut off as soon as I got home. What a great phone this has been for me. Full Qwerty, music through the internal speakers. My previous Gravity 3 was stolen so I replaced it with a Gravity 3 and am immensely satisfied. One recommendation: Buy the rubber cover. After 20 or so drops, my screen went white and never recovered. (I'm a dropper. I need a phone that can handle it!)

In all, I recommend this one to the non-tech forward crowd, unless you really need Words with Friends at your fingertips!

Great with Galaxy Note & iPhone

Aduro Universal Dashboard Windshield Revolution

I needed a dash/windshield mount for my iPhone 4, so I started Amazon shopping and got to reading the reviews...and reading and reading and reading...

I use a Mophie (battery) case with my phone which not only makes it larger, but a fair amount heavier as well, so I needed a good, sturdy, dependable mount to handle both the size and weight.

This product had on screen measurements from the seller to ensure that the shopper's phone will fit inside the mount; that was a huge help in making my purchase. (So were all of your reviews that came before me, so THANKS!)

I've now had the Aduro for about two weeks and it holds my phone and Mophie just great, even with the extra weight of the case. I of course mounted it on the dash though, due to said extra weight. The mount is holding VERY firmly without any shakiness or wiggling while driving, even in aggressive conditions.

I'm extremely happy with this phone mount and would recommend it to anyone.

safety first

HTC MyTouch Black Green Wrist

I. The product is as good as it gets for screen protection - it is clear like the sceen without the protection (if you follow the directions and put it on correctly, you won't be able to tell it is there)
II. You get three for a very good price (i already went through one since scratching accidently)
III. The vendor stands by their product with lifetime warranty
IV. Excellent Customer Service and communication

For those that think the cut is incorrect around the front camera and ear speaker, it is cut that way because there are sensors hidden on the phone in that area (when i first went to apply one, i thought it was cut incorrectly.

Pros: The product goes on without needing any liquid ++, it is clear, can't tell it is there once you use it a bit after applying, comes off very easily and leaves nothing behind

Minor Cons: doesn't cover the entire screen 100% - it would be nice if it went edge to edge, but it is about 2mm short in total

Tip - after wiping the screen with the included cloth, use compressed air to gently get any remaining dust off before applying. I applied mine bottom up, centering the home button first. Also keep the cloth handy since it takes off smudges and finger prints easily from the screen protector.

BoxWave VersaCharger PRO Combined Existing

I've had an original Boxwave VersaCharger for about ten years now, purchased originally for use with a Palm PDA. Over the years I've used the USB port on it to charge my cell phone, other PDAs, iPods, and iPads in both the car and hotel rooms. It has provided yeoman's service the whole time, but has been getting cranky of late so I purchased the new VersaCharger PRO to replace it.

The main difference with the PRO model (besides being less expensive) is (a) the addition of a 2x USB charging port, and (b) the interchangeable plugs. The 2x USB port does seem to charge faster, but as I generally charge devices overnight or over the course of the day I haven't determined yet how fast it really works. If the PRO model is anything like the original model, then charging with your device OFF will be the faster method.

The interchangeable plugs are designed for use in the US, Europe, and other countries that use different plug configurations for different voltages/frequencies. While I haven't tried the VersaCharger PRO outside the US yet, each of the plugs appears to be sturdy and easily snaps in and out and should provide good service. Car and wall charging so far seem to be fine.

The Pro model is about 50% larger than my older VersaCharger, mainly due to the addition of the second USB port and the ability to change the plugs (some additional circuitry needed). The original VersaCharger can't change plugs (designed for US use only) but does have a folding plug socket that makes the form factor much smaller and convenient. Overall I don't think the size difference will be an issue. The protective cap over the car plug portion snaps on and off easily and should stay in place under most conditions; on the original VersaCharger this cap would come off occassionally in my travel bag but no big deal.

I am currently using the VersaCharger PRO to recharge my cell phone (Samsung), 2nd gen Kindle, latest gen iPod Touch, iPod nano, and 4th gen iPad. I haven't had any issues yet with recharging any of these devices.

In conjunction with the recent coupon offer, this was an excellent deal.

Lumsing 11000mAh External Battery Charger

This was my first Michael Kors bag and when it first came I was surprised that the edges of the handle strap and around the top of the bag were so unfinished and the strap felt thinner/lighter than I expected (I have a lot of Coach bags), so initially I had mixed feelings. The color and the look of the bag are beautiful. But it's really grown on me. The pockets inside are big and very useful - it's easy to get my various cards in and out of the pockets, my sunglasses or cell phone. And it truly is a shoulder bag, which means it is very comfortable and convenient to carry. The only thing I would change now that I've been using it a month is I would not line any purse in a very light color. Invariably a cover comes off a lipstick or a wrapper off a candy and it shows easily, but fortunately that is just inside the bag. I get a lot of compliments on it and am very happy with it.

A powerful novel about serious teen issues

Some Girls Are Courtney Summers

Some Girls Are is one of those most intense books I have read. It had the effect that I couldn't stop reading it even when I wanted to. And yes, there were times when I wanted to stop reading it. Some Girls Are is a very heavy book but I definitely ended up liking it.

Regina is a bitch and she knows it. Being a bitch has always been what she does until the Fearsome Fivesome kick her out. Now she has absolutely no friends because of how she treated everyone and her former friends are determined to make her life a living hell. Throughout all the torment, Regina, not surprisingly, remains a bitch, at least to some people. She refuses to let her former friends beat her and so for everything they do, she retaliates.

While I hated how mean Regina was, I liked to see her get back at the Fearsome Foursome. She definitely did not lack a backbone. She also really did grow as a person throughout the book. She saw firsthand what she did to some of her victims and she truly felt remorse. Sadly I did not see the same growth in any of the other girls. They were just plain evil.

The story itself is all about Regina's fall from grace that is caused by something she didn't do. The whole book seemed to be one mean prank after another, some more serious than others. What's worse is that when Regina finally finds someone who makes her happy (Michael) her old friends find a very cruel way to ruin that as well. It was almost painful to read Some Girls Are because there truly are almost no happy moments.

Overall, Some Girls Are is not one I would recommend to everyone. It is a hard book to handle but I think a lot of people will appreciate it. You really need to be in the right mood to read this one though.

Name says it all... lite

Verizon Shell Holster Motorola Verizo

I have never written a review before but felt compelled to after I got this case so others like me would know. I searched the internet looking for a cool case that would fit my Electrify M. I found reviews of TPU cases that would fit both the Razr M and Electrify M, so after comparing where the slots were on this case compared to the phone, I ordered it and crossed my fingers. When I got it, I found it fit my phone perfectly! It didnt even cover any part of the camera. It is a little more see through than I would like and not as dark as the pic but its sturdier than gel, doesnt stick in my pocket, and was easy to put on and remove. As for safety, I cant speak to that as I have no plans to drop or throw my phone to try it out. I have gotten numerous compliments for this case and will probably order another in a different color.
