Not terrible, but could be better

Ok, so first off, I bought this mike for recording vocals to do covers of songs. The mike is about 3 inches long. It has a couple of good points. It can pick up sound at about two feet away, so you can sit comfortably in front of the computer screen, but depending on the song, it does sometimes help to lean in. For normal talking purposes you wouldn't have to lean in. It's easy to install and use. Now about the sound quality. It isn't terrible, but it could have been better. The microphone made my voice sound a bit thicker. I had read the extraordinary reviews of this mike, and had been hoping that it would allow the recorded voice to sound like me, but it just doesn't sound like me, and to me, the amount of sound distortion was a bit bothersome. My voice seems to sound like I have a bit of a constant sore throat. Of course, the slightly "thicker" sound may suit some people perfectly fine, but as a girl, it's not exactly flattering for my voice. When singing, I had to constantly smile and sing more brightly than I normally did to counter the effects. Of course, maybe I'm just being super-picky. After all, this mike is really cheap and maybe my nit-pickiness means that I should look for a more expensive mike. But I would suggest that if you're trying to do vocals, 1. If you have the money to invest in a more expensive, more professional mike, then you should, and 2. If possible, at least try the mike out in the store. If you like it, then buy on amazon, but not before that, because other people's reviews don't always give an idea of what you want and need. I have a Sony Cybershot DSC-HX5V, and its recording sounds better than this mike's. But if you want to hear what the mike sounds like, check out my youtube channel: onedirectionlover317. The videos I have uploaded are recorded with the Samson Go Mic, and I'll soon be uploading videos recorded with my camera to compare the audio. I'll also be uploading instrumentals recorded with the Go Mic, because maybe this mic may be good for instruments.

Not the worst case I have ever used, but certainly below average, so 2 stars.

I feel like it would provide a level of protection to the plastic. However I am not sure about the screen. The raised lip around it is barely raised. Most cases are raised a tad higher so probably do a little better job. I think they could have raised it a little more without effecting the feel.

But on to the cons from usability. It is a bit hard to put on and take off. You really have to shove it in there, and to take it off you need a decent amount of force, and it always rips the battery cover off with it.

My biggest complaint is the buttons. The buttons remain easy to press, but don't feel right. I hate not having a solid button press feel to it.

Overall I just don't really like it, but I have certainly had worse, so it doesn't get 1 star.

The lights that you have to choose from aren't exactly that great.
The lights on the mouse and keyboard have no way to sync up.
The keyboard seems alright to type with, but I have a lot of stuttering issues with games because of this. ( It's not a computer issue, if I swap keyboards there is no stuttering)
Overall, I give this a 3/5. Could have been a lot better if they simply used better color LEDs and programmed the keyboard better.

still acceptable, but the tightness has been fading for a while. I've had it for a month or two (hopefully it shows you, I actually forgot). also, the teeth on the clips don't really pin to the corners of my phone like I hoped they would. could have been awesome, and maybe one will be at some point, but instead it's just ok. Probably worth the price, but that's not a very positive thing. If another option shows up for doing this job, consider trying it instead - I've also read reviews on other TFY products that make me think that their stuff is generally half-assed.

Not great, not terrible.  Gets the job done, but they are not easily able to lay flat on their own and the tape is not meant for quick and easy application and removal.  It's meant as a more stationary product, but I needed something I could reuse in different locations frequently.  Still use them regularly just had to get some gaffer's tape instead of the double sided mounting tape.

This is better than nothing, and it does the job, but it has some shortcomings.

It is difficult to pace myself since I don't know how much time is left.  It does flash faster as time progresses, but figuring out how to equate elapsed time with the speed of flashing is an acquired skill (it is not nearly as intuitive as a sand timer)

I find it is a little distracting to have to keep looking up to see if the timer is finished.

The construction is pretty flimsy; I bought two (one for the kids, one for me) and already one stopped working.  Could be the cheap batteries, but I suspect a bit of shower moisture got into the electronics since it is not in any way sealed.

Bottom line: it does the job, but if you look around you can probably find a better solution.

This is an adorable concept with some nice features, but it does have some issues about which potential buyers should be aware.

The cover is charming and fun, it offers some padding, and the seams are well reinforced. It's sturdy and should survive some abuse. The velcro tabs for the straps are also sturdy, as are the ears - which is a good thing, as those ears are tempting carry points. The straps are not too long, which is both an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that they're less likely to get hung up on things when not in use holding the iPad in position. The downside is that they're kind of less useful in holding the iPad in position. In my car, the seat-to-back-of-seat ratio is not optimal for hanging this device as pictured, not and still have a child of two reach the pad.

My major concern with the unit is the stand at the rear. I've included a picture of this - it's quite flimsy. My stand arrived with a curve that predisposes it to close, and the only thing keeping it open is a bendable nylon strap (same consistency as the hanging strap) that is also predisposed to close. It doesn't take much to make this stand fold in upon itself, and unfortunately two-year-olds aren't known for their gentle touch. This item doesn't remain standing for long.

The rear of the cover has some fit issues, as per picture two. It is held closed by a velcro flap where the velcro is small and centralized in the middle. Right out the box, it is already beginning to curl (picture 2), and it will be very easy for small fingers to find purchase to pull it open. It'll also be appealing for them to do so, as the most eye-catching thing on the back is the logo - which is right in the middle of the closure.

Speaking of the logo, the one sewn onto the side (picture 3) has slightly sharp edges, especially at the corners. I wish it were a little more soft, given the age of the intended audience.

It's a really nice concept with some nice design features but a few flaws that I hope they will improve in future iterations.

These work really well, but, unfortunately, are poorly made.  In a dark room, these will let you see any non-backlit keyboard clearly.  However, one of the three in the package I received did not function at all, and the remaining two run HOT.  There is what SHOULD be a heat sink on the back of the light, but it's not closely enough coupled to the LED strip mounted inside (I suppose I cold fix that with some thermal paste).  The fit in the USB port is a little loose.  Not terrible, but it could be better.

As for how they work, here are two photos of my notebook--one without the light, one with.  You can really see the difference.

okay, about what I expected, but not as good as I hoped.

Well there are quite a few story lines here...sometimes crossing meaningfully and sometimes not.  I thought this was too rambling.  One does get an inside look at family services and religious end of timer wackos.  Not terrible but not great.

pretty good for the price, not the best, but definitely not the worst

decent print . could have been better really

Not bad, but not great. The product would be better if the manufacturer used better zippers. It did do the job for me though...I used this across 4 international flights without issue.

Overall, I have to admit I'm somewhat disappointed in this clock radio.  While I love the idea of the analog clock, the actual implementation is somewhat disappointing.  The method of turning the dial to set the alarm seems rather rudimentary.  Can't set it for exact times, as you are just moving a pointer around to the hour you want it to go off.  My biggest issue with the clock, however, is the hands.  They are almost the same length and thickness, so I can't tell which hand is which.  Like right now, it is difficult for me to tell if it is 11:04 or 12:55.  I can usually figure out which is which, but for a clock radio by the bed, I'd rather not have to think about it.

The sound quality from the radio is outstanding, but the tuner seems to drift when left on for an extended period.

Overall, great looking, great sounding, but functionality is not up to par.

I bought this camera to keep in my purse for al those times that I'd wished I'd had a camera with me. For that, it's been pretty good.
I thought I gave it three stars, but see that two are there and I am unable to change that.

The cons:
--It doesn't perform terribly well in low-light, but neither did I expect it to.
--It has problems focusing, seemingly for no reason, and so the results I've gotten have been somewhat inconsistent as far as blurriness goes.
--There are no manual overrides, outside of controlling the flash, but sub-compact cameras were not designed for that.
--It has a rechargeable battery, which is consistent with cameras of this size, so you always have to make sure you are charged up if you need the camera for a big event.
--There can be some inexplicable color artifacts in some of the photos,even when there is plenty of light.
--It's not the speediest camera.
--It doesn't upload all of the photos into iPhoto (skips quite a bit of them), nor does it indicate which of the uploaded items are movies. I haven't figured out why but, because of this, you have to be careful and make sure all of the photos have been captures before deleting them from the camera. It could be that Olympus is just not as Mac-friendly as my Canons have been.

The pros:
--There are some nice, usable scene modes, which are helpful.
--It has an anti-shake feature.
--The movie mode is fairly decent, although there is no ability to zoom.
--It is teeny,tiny and very lightweight, and can go anywhere.
--The photos are generally pretty good for most uses, sometimes surprisingly so (which is unfortunately not consistent).

REASONABLE FOR THE COST, BUT NOT THE BEST I HAVE TRIED.

The size and idea are great, but the execution is lacking. If the wood were a bit thicker, it might do a better job dissipating heat, as it is, it channels all of the heat from your laptop into a very concentrated spot on your lap.

Also, as others have mentioned, the wood isn't superbly finished. There are some sharpish edges that are annoying, but there are also some rough, unfinished spots, like in the pod well and the grooves below the laptop. I've been using this for less than a week and I've gotten two splinters.
