Very Useful, A LIttle Overpriced
936416
Many electronic devices use direct current (DC) and come with an adapter to convert from alternating or household current (eg. AC-DC converter). Most AC-DC adapters work just as well in Europe or Japan as they do in the US; that is they don't care what the input voltage is (Note: the allowed input voltages are indicated on the adapter).

However, the adapters will not fit in foreign electrical sockets because the prongs are different. With this little plug adapter I was able to send a preloaded digital picture frame that I purchased in the US (off of Amazon.com) to my grandparents in Europe. All they had to do was just had to plug it in the wall using the adapter I sent along with it.

I think $2.50 for a piece of plastic and two metal prongs is a little steep, but it was much less than ordering the same product from Amazon.co.uk shipping it to the US, and then back to Europe. Not to mention simpler than the third alternative of sending an empty picture frame and memory card or CD to my grandparents.

This is a very useful but likely underrated little adapter.

I would rate these 5 stars if the price was a little better. Very useful/practical for some applications. Note- the batteries fit positive or negative up. Good for keeping track of rechargables that are ready to use, and those that need recharged.

There are lots of complaints about this device, but it can be very useful if you have the right expectations.
First off, I wouldn't pay the standard 80 bucks for it. I got it on sale at Fry's for 18 bucks and it's worth that at least.
The unit runs embedded Linux, so there is some flexibility here, just be careful because I don't think there would be any method of restoring the device if you jacked it.
Personally, I refuse to load "Bonjour" on my PC's. You can avoid this if you control your own dns and dhcp. Then you simply access the Samba shares via UNC paths. For the typical home user, I would recommend just using the Bonjour application to simplify things... this makes it pretty much plug-play.

Performance is pretty dismal if you are expecting it to run as fast as the drive in your PC... it's not going to. But, it's an excellent network target for backing up your data, or storing huge amounts of media that you don't want clogging up your PC local disk.
In the end, for 18 bucks you can't beat it.
I should also note that even though I didn't experience any problems, I was uncomfortable with the running temperature of the device. It does run very hot.
I removed the device from the little case so it could breathe hoping to extend the life of the chips. If you really wanted to get inventive, you could drill some holes and install a low voltage fan or something as well.
I know it sounds pretty hokey, but that's why I stated I wouldn't pay 80 bucks for it... this was an engineering work in progress when they sent it off to retail. It could have been very successful if they would have finished it and did something about the cooling and the processor speed.

The screwtape letters study guide is actually many white pages that are photocopied and come inside a flimsy folder. This is why I was surprised at the price I paid for it, because I felt that it was overpriced. On that note I planned on using this guide to help me map out a book study that I am leading and there are some very good questions that spark great discussions, however, there are also some "worksheets" and busy work type of material that are unnecessary unless you are teaching this in a classroom setting. Overall the questions in this product are very good and I don't regret buying it, I just wish it wouldn't have been so expensive or that it would come in a nicer binding!

Pricey for what it is, but a really useful product. Very nice to throw your cord in your bag with.

First off, I stumbled on this product by searching for others, so it was an impulse buy.  Second, I love this kind of stuff, so I was going to keep it even if was so-so. That being said, I really like this product, and I rarely give five stars.  The cards are thinner than a credit card [and more flexible], printed on both sides with one or two knots per side.  I wish I had to knot more things in my life so that I could use this more often.  Good idea, good execution, reasonable price [or, better put, a bit overpriced for what it is, but if it lasts 10 years, it's perfectly priced]

This is an excellent idea.  I have used it many times now.  It is a bit pricey however for what it is.  I would have bought several for friends had it been closer to $20 each.

Aside from being ridiculously overpriced, this is handy to label all my cords and wires. I like to use and keep the original cords with the original item, but mix-ups happen and later when putting things away, similar cords often look alike. Labeling things makes it easier in keeping the right stuff together. The dispenser could be re-designed to make it easier to write on the label before you peel it off, it's difficult enough to write what you need, on such a small area.  It is made of a nice soft, conformable material (vinyl?), that adheres to the cord then the clear section continues to over-wrap to protect your labeled area.  The clear area could be a bit longer for some cords, the .75 x 1.2" is fine for thinner USB and AUX cords,and normal/average power supply cords that are around 1/4 inch wide. I suggest you take the time to measure for your projected uses, as this is available in different sizes, some with longer clear areas. An ultra fine or extra fine sharpie works great on these. I have experienced sometimes the clear label end will start to peel up and off, after proper and prudent application, all by itself. I always try and firmly press the label down to prevent lifting, and make sure I don't touch any surface that  the label needs to adhere to, even using tweezers and a clean micro-fiber cloth (to not transfer skin oils) ,but it has occurred regardless. So I am not confident that these labels will stay on indefinitely or at least for the life usage of the item, time will tell.  If the cable is very thin, I make a side "flap" when wrapping the label, this makes it easier to read. It is convenient.

Well made, functional and aesthetically pleasing.  A bit overpriced.

Very good quality and is extremely useful. But the cost is too high for the 15 piece set. Out of this 3 are just some cook books. Price range of 100-105$ would have been good.

Good product, but slightly overpriced.  I bought the unit for my father.  Some of the features could be improved, considering the price.

I always keep this in my pocket, and it has been very useful. I find it difficult to grip and apply torque in some situations. Cap stays on OK, but twists very easily, and the pocket clip can get in the way. Even though it is useful, it could be a lot better, especially for the $6 price tag.

So far, the text provides a thorough, organized, and simple enough read. Considering I am taking a combined Micro/Macro class this semester, the organization of the book is proving to be a godsend with all the information I am having to digest at a quick pace. The book can be a bit repetative in some of its examples, though, but I guess it's a method to reach anyone in the audience. My only true gripe is that I do not think that it is worth it's $145 price tag, especially since the International version is selling for a third of the price. The information is exactly the same, but the problems and case studies are different. Still, if this book was meant to cover two base classes, I guess the price could be worse. Amazon, of course, was the best (and most reliable) seller of this item. I needed the normal version, and a lot of sellers on eBay were trying to push the International Version as the regular text.

the item works advertised, and is well made. However I think it is overpriced for what it is, and I find it a lot more useful if it were a foot or two longer.

Good for travel and keeping dust off of your equipment, but in my opinion I feel like $60 is a little overpriced. Still a solid piece of product though.

It is really useful and works well. I would have rated it 5 stars if it was more durable and if I didn't believe that it is over-priced for $19 ($12 +$7 shipping).
For $19, I was expecting it to be more durable (even though it is not flimsy at all); the pockets would break (get ripped) if more than 3 or 4 cards are placed into one pocket. I rated it 4 stars because I think that it was worth buying because I use it often and it is really hard to find one.
