Lives up to the hype

Samsung Galaxy S View Cover Folio

I bought this from Best Buy before they became available to order on Amazon. It came to just over $60, but it is worth every penny. I have ordered flip cases from Amazon for my other phones and for friends. Up until now, the most I've paid was $13.00 for a GS3 and $6 for a Galaxy Note. These cases don't compare - they may say "Samsung" on them, but given the build quality of this flip case, I'm fairly certain that they were not actually the official cases. This case feels sturdy and very quality made.

This case has a nifty feature that lets you see through a little window to let you know what time it is and check out notifications. This is quite handy when driving at night and instead of your phone illuminating the entire car, you just get to see the important stuff and are less likely to get pulled over or distracted. Also, whenever you flip open the case, the phone automatically wakes up. It is very natural feeling, you may even forget that there is a sleep/wake button. The flip cover is weighted pretty well - it has to be because if it doesn't close the whole way, you don't get the window or auto wake feature. You can also answer or ignore calls through the window.

It does seem to add more weight and thickness than I had hoped, but not so much that the phone becomes unwieldy.

20th Century Masters:Millennium Collection Tanya Tucker CD

20th Century Masters Millennium Collection

This Millennium Collection contains Tucker's top elevan hits
of the pocket of seventeen releases on M.C.A. -- ONLY.
All elevan tracks entered the top twenty,
and nine of those entered the top ten.
But alas - NONE of Tucker's singles prior to 1975 are here,
as are NONE of Tucker's singles after 1980.
Here is SOME of her best hits of her career.
Unfortunately, this collection does not cross labels,
therefore this is not a very extensive collection.

Tanya Tucker landed 65 songs on the country chart from 1972 to 1997.
Though there is great music here, it only leaves me wanting more.

If you would like more of Tucker's hits, there is a comprehensive,
double c.d. compilation on Raven label, made in Austrilia that you may like.
Titled "The Upper 48 Hits", 1972-1997.
All elevan tracks that are on this Millenniun collection are also on The Upper 48.

Nice

Rubberized Samsung A927 Flight II

I purchased this unit compared to the Belkin Aircast (bluetooth version). It's usually about $20 cheaper and I've been impressed with the quality of Kinivo products. First off, you need an auxiliary input on your device (car stereo's too). This is similar to a headphone jack except a headphone jack is an audio output (not input). Also...something to keep in mind, in particular for automobiles, is that your input will have to be switched to AUX. Some auto's do this automatically, however, if you are listening to a CD or AM/FM/XM, don't expect an automatic switch over to AUX, unless your cars does this. (I don't know any that do.) I use this with a 2012 LX model Honda Civic that didn't come with Bluetooth and it works well. I mounted mine right by the radio. You can't even see it in the dark. However, there is an annoying blue light that flashes every once in a while to let you know it's connected. I find it annoying...others may not. I'm thinking of marking over it with a Sharpie Marker. The ability to stream audio is awesome and you can forward Pandora songs without fumbling for a phone. This is one of those items that you purchase where you feel like you are getting your money's worth!

Security Recorder Resolution 1280x720 chargers

I have had my AC Wall USB charging station camera system up and running for about a week now, and so far so good! Installation really is a breeze, no installation whatsoever is needed, plus I don't have to worry about wireless radiation. The unit arrived within 3 days after I ordered. This self-contained camera, recorder, motion detector, voice recorder, and 3 USB charger is so convenient to use. It replaces most of my wall charger for my cell phone and digital camera. The camera has perfect reception and the viewing resolution unbelievably records in high resolution. I'm able to play the video in full screen without pixelation tile effect. It's better than I expected. Also there are three adjustable motion detection settings for bigger or longer area which is accessed through the USB cable provided. I tested the motion detection once and it worked perfectly. It looks like it has some buffering because it records even before the motion is detected. I will do more extensive testing at a later date, but so far it seems to work well day and night.

I am very happy with this setup. I will say that this unit fits clean and tidy in our house. It's very discrete. You can plug it in to an AC outlet and start using it immediately. The opening is not visible at all. If you don't know it's a hidden camera, you won't even know the lens opening no matter how closely you look at it - it's that discrete! One thing I like about this unit is that it requires no batteries. It runs from power in the AC outlet.

- Motion activated which is good because it won't unnecessarily use up the 32GB memory by recording empty walls when no one is in the room.

- Easy set up. Actually, it doesn't require any set up at all. I just plug it to the wall outlet and the system starts recording when we move around the room.

- Decent video quality. It's HD, the file is showing 1280x720 resolution. You can program this to lower resolution if you want a week of motion recording before it erase the old one. I haven't tried a lower resolution recording yet to check how many days it would hold the video. It's clear enough to know what's going on. Not too grainy as some of the other devices I have tried. Overall, pretty good for this price.

Great Charger and so handy!!!

Juicebar DO11 PT Blue Power Tube

When I bought this Astro3E external battery, I was looking basically for two things:

1. High capacity, and
2. A way to quickly charge my Kindle Fire HD 8.9".

I think I found both things in this Astro3E.

The Astro3E has a battery level indicator, in the form of four lights on the front. You press the middle button, and the number of lights that light up correspond to the charge level. You charge the battery by using a micro-USB to USB cable, and plug the USB cable into a USB-AC adapter (or into a charging port on your computer, but this is a much slower way of charging generally speaking). The lights on the Astro3E blink when the battery is charging, to indicate the charge status, and the lights go out completely when the battery is full.

To charge devices with the battery, plug the device into one of the USB ports on the bottom of the battery, then press the middle button to begin charging. The two ports are labeled "Apple" and "Android" respectively. I don't have any Apple devices, so I haven't actually been able to find any difference between the two ports.

Anker sells two different external batteries with the same capacity, 10,000mAh: the Anker� Astro3 and the Anker� Astro3E. Here are the main differences, according to Anker customer support on Amazon:

"1, Astro3 can only be charged via AC adapter,while Astro3E can be charged via USB port of Laptop/PC/wall charger.
2, The maximum current of Astro3 is 2A,while Astro3E is 3A.
3, Astro3 has a DC output(9V~12V) which can charge some cameras,while Astro3E only have USB output(5V)."

So, in my words:

1. The Astro3 can only be charged with the AC adapter they provide you. The plug is proprietary. The Astro3E can be charged with any micro-USB to USB cable and USB-AC adapter, but be sure that your AC adapter has an output current of 1A or higher (check the adapter to make sure).
2. The Astro3 can charge devices that require a 2A current, while the Astro3E can charge faster at 3A. If your device doesn't need that much current though, then the two batteries will probably behave the same way.
3. Astro3 has a DC output, while the 3E doesn't. This may or may not be relevant to you.
4. Astro3 comes with more adapters so that more devices can be plugged into it, while the 3E comes with just 4 adapters, for micro-USB, mini-USB, and two others I don't recognize.

So if you're trying to decide between these two battery packs, hopefully these differences will help you.
