I have bought several of these and love the battery feature but do not drop it!! It comes apart the more you drop it and the battery does weaken over time. I just buy another one when they completely break because of the price. Wish they would use stronger glue.

This is a very good mouse. Unfortunately, it will stop working if you drop it even once. I had this issue with one and returned it but then again the same thing happened to the second time and this time I can't return it cause it's been more than a month. I don't know why it's so feable and when you dropped it, no matter how hard you try, the click is not going to work anymore.

i bought this battery pack about June of 2014. I primarily carry it with me to work so that i can charge my iphone or ipad when im stuck with no power source. Truth be told i like the feel of this pack. Is sleek and not massively heavy. Its not good for carrying in your pocket cause its the large model but the only thing is that you need to protect the ports from dust cause they have no shielding. Mine actually went bad recently and doesn't want to charge anymore it just lights up but won't hold a charge. I am currently trying to reach out to the warranty department and waiting on them seeing how it has 18 month warranty. i will be updating this review if they happen to help me out with this issue

I have had 5 oral b toothbrushes and have given 5 others as gifts. This one was great for a year then the battery just would not hold a charge. This was very disappointing as it is newer than one which I keep in another bathroom  ( with the other type of charging base.)  which still holds a charge fine. I am sadly throwing this away. I feel a product of this price should last more than one year. I have several spare heads which I will continue to use on the older model.

This would be a fantastic product for the price in terms of features, if it weren't for the battery. (I included an extended warrenty as part of my consideration to buy.) In the first 2 days, I ran the battery down 4 times and of course recharged. The screen is bright and easily read but that is probably part of the battery problem. Turn down the brightness right away and it is still bright. I love the music capability, but again it uses up the battery fast. Also hot syncs seem slow as compared to my old Palm 505.

Obviously Palm wants to build in forced replacement or they would come up with replaceable batteries. Don't buy this without an extended warranty. You can get 1 year from PalmOne and longer from some stores.

The Sound Kick is attractive and convenient, with great sound quality for the price. If the technical quality were better, I could give it 5 stars. Unfortunately, I have experienced the same battery dysfunction mentioned by other reviewers. My first battery lasted 3-4 months, then ceased to hold a charge. A friend disconnected and reconnected the battery, and I got about 6 more months of life out of the device. Again, the battery stopped holding a charge. I reported the problem to Soundfreaq, and they sent me a new battery free of charge. This battery is working, but it's glitchy, similar to my first. After 5-6 uses, I've already had to disconnect and reconnect the battery as before. I sincerely hope they've fixed this issue on the Sound Kick 2, and I will be bothering their customer service again if my second battery dies in less than 6 months. When you buy a device specifically for its portability, the battery is kind of a big deal.

Ok, this battery and the accompanying backplate for the phone work as promised.  But the make the phone so heavy that a single drop, even to a wood floor *will* crack the screen.  And this is a phone I've dropped a few times on surfaces much harder without a problem.  So just be aware that it will make your phone heavier and more prone to drop damage.  If you can live with that, this battery is great.

I had been loving this mouse for several months ever since I had first purchased it.  Small, lightweight, comfortable, gentle on the batteries, and highly customizable.  The one flaw that simply can't be overlooked by a company as otherwise reputable as Logitech (and as pricey as this mouse is relative to others) is the now-acknowledged design flaw in the primary button -- earlier this week the mouse began tripping random clicks and double-clicks; I'm in the market for a replacement that, for now, will not be from Logitech.  Recommendation: avoid for now.

One of the least expensive options I searched for that has been reviewed as reliable to keeping my travel trailer battery charged when it is not in use.  Have had it for a year now and it has been accidentally dropped several times and even though the exterior case is damaged, it is still working correctly which you know based upon LED indicator lights

I have bought several of these, two of the "10 year" batteries have already failed and you cannot replace them.  One of them would not turn off at 3am, and to take a hammer to it to get the internal battery to disconnect.  DO NOT BUY.  purchase one with replaceable batteries.

IT IS VERY COOL AND HAS A NEAT FEATURE THAT THE BATTERY CAN BE REMOVED FROM THE CASE.  KEEPS A GOOD CHARGE SIMILAR TO THE MOPHIE BRAND, BUT THE PLUG BROKE AFTER THE 60 DAYS RETURN PERIOD.  I STILL COULD USE THE SLIM CASE, BUT THE BATTERY, I COULD NOT CHARGE.  WISH IT DID NOT BREAK.

This flashlight does not handle being dropped very well. I have purchased other Nitecore flashlights and this is the only one that I had issues with being dropped. The internal construction of the battery post limits the kind of battery that you can use, No flat tops here.

You can use flat tops, but if you drop it, the head will be bent and the battery will no longer make a connection.

I modified mine by making the head of the contact pad larger and now have no further complaints.

I feel that the battery contact should have a spring located on it for a more reliable connection.

Chosen this one because of the built-in display (huge advantage). I purchased it Feb. 5 and received it Feb. 7 and up to this day upon using this the first problem I encountered is the unit won't power on (Feb 9). Knowing the battery was fully charged and yet powering it up seems futile. I was able to find some related solution in a certain video web channel and I hope the problem won't happen again sometime. I wish GOPRO can look at his matter regarding power-on failure, but other than that problem, HERO 4 silver was very handy and a great camera to be using it even everyday on anything.

Have mine for over six months now, never let me down. Use it on a daily basis, as I work on the run and my iPhone looses it's juice before the end of the day.
Got another one for my son, and it has survived a few drops by now. Good thing is phone always falls battery-side-down, therefore protecting the glass front.

Only con is that it is a bit too hard to turn on the battery; you have to press it really down, impossible for an arthritic hand.

I'd love it if it had an off feature. Otherwise, since I last bought it a year ago, the battery is still holding its charge. Material feels a little cheap but it's still very reliable.

Bluetooth disconnects and loses audiob while watching long movies on YouTube.  Happens 15-20 times or more in a 90 minute movie.  Must scroll back to get it to reconnect. I determined this by making a hard wire connection to the speaker.

Normal operation is a PITA as it shuts itself off even when plugged in. It is smart for saving batteries but not smart when plugged into a wall socket. This holds true even when hard wired. I am constantly having to switch it back on if I pause my music or video to answer the phone or let the dogs out.

Sound quality has no tone adjustment. I keep it on a bookshelf and the bass is too strong. It is mean to reflect off a wall. Enclosed on five sides (on bookshelf)  makes the bass too strong.

Battery is not replaceable so I plug it in and unplug it frequently. I am thinking about taking it back but it does OK when wired.  Remember not to leave it plugged in or you will ruin the battery.

Love how it works and very sturdy but not at all child safe as every time it's dropped the battery compartments fly open and batteries fall out. Very dangerous. Not sure why they wouldn't have a more secure compartment for batteries as other toys for kids do. Shocked that they don't.. Major design flaw. Otherwise camera is great.
