Single Sentence Summary: Find a better case, because this one falls disappointingly short of expectations.

Full Review:
I was intrigued by the full case protection and the price was reasonable, so I decided to try it for my iPhone 6s. I went with the white and silver case. Surprisingly, it didn't get too digny after six months of use. I also was able to stick one of those adhesive branded cell phone wallets on the back well despite the grooves.

I kept the case for over six months, before my hate for it overcame me and I trashed it. So after six months of use, here is what I found:

Pros:
It handled all of my multitude of drops without any issues.
The charging and headphone ports aren't restrictive on the size of chargers or jacks.

Cons:
The front clear protector is cheap plastic. It will scratch, it will smudge.
The seal between the front and back isn't complete. There are holes for the fingerprint reader and the speakers, where dust and other crap finds its way into the case, requiring you to remove it, clean the phone and case off, and repeat.
The volume buttons are cheap. If you get a quality case, you'll instantly know this.

Pass on this and find a case you'll love for the long run.

There are quite a few people who gave this product decent ratings and I wish I could agree with them however my experience prevents me from doing so. Like most Evo 4G users, I was fed up with the short battery life and wanted more out of it. When I came upon this deal, I thought it was too good to be true. However, after reading some of the more positive reviews, it convinced me to buy it. After all, it's just $10. However, if it was really just $10, I would say "go for it, take a risk" and see if you can get one of the good batteries. However, in addition to the $10, there was much frustration and stress that came along with this sorry piece of crap excuse for a battery.

When I first installed the battery, I followed the others advice and ran it down and recharged it overnight (12 hours to be exact). I used it the next day and it lasted about as long as my old battery. The next day, it was a bit shorter... then shorter and shorter until day 5 when it refused to be charged and turn on. There was nothing wrong with my phone as I installed the old battery and it's working again.

So if you want to throw away your money, that's your business. But you should know that you will be throwing away more than just $10 when you consider the frustration and stress that will come with this little nightmare.

Like many others have said. Great at first but dies quickly. Stay away.

Does it *technically* work? Yes, which is why it got two starts. Does it look great? No, because of a big nasty spot in the front from damage, despite the packaging being unaffected.. Is it sturdy? Not particularly. Does it store a lot? No. Is it easy to wire? No. Is the build quality good? Not particularly. Would I have bought it if I knew all these things? Not a chance.

Overall, this is very similar to a budget Ikea product in terms of build quality and assembly.

Firstly, upon arrival, the box looked fine, but the interior left hand side (once assembled) was damaged and crinkled up, and the veneer covering was broken. Frustrating, but I continued to build it rather than send it back.

Secondly, there is very little clearance on placing the item on the bracket, and the bracket connections on the unit only have one of the two holes drilled in it that is expected. The net result of this is that something as simple as the covering for a plug is enough to make mounting it difficult at best. This came into play when I attempted to mount this item close to a recessed wiring box, and really struggled to get the item to even engage with the metal piece (shown in other user's reviews). Once it's placed on the metal piece, you literally just run some more screws through the unit with a washer, and that's supposed to keep it sturdy. It still is quite flimsy, as both mounting points are up high on the unit.

Thirdly, once it's mounted, it's no longer removable reasonably, which would be fine, except that you still potentially need to pull wires through the hole in the back, which you can't reasonably reach the other side of once it's mounted. If the hole were larger, you could fit your hand through and do whatever wiring you needed, but particularly if you're trying to make turns with wire, it becomes nigh-impossible.

Finally, if you do want to buy this product, be cognizant of the fact that those shelves are just barely high enough for 1 dvd, and if you segment them in half (like the picture shows), you only have 2-3" of space between them, not enough for blue-ray cases or anything of that nature.

I cannot dispute that fundamentally it is a hanging media center, but that's about where my satisfaction with the product ends.

I'm re-writing my review to reflect the quality of the product over time.

Pros:

* It's cheap
* The touchscreen is good
* The functionality for the backup camera is excellent

Cons:

* Low resolution
* Disappointing sound quality, even after using the remote to turn on the "loud" setting (can't do from the unit itself).
* No discrete audio profiles for anything, which means you have to constantly readjust as you switch sources.
* Bluetooth streaming quality progressively got worse until it was almost all static
* Will not fit most double DIN openings without some expensive cutting and trimming of your dash.

Just get a nice pioneer model in the low $300's and be much, much happier. They represent the best you can get in the low end of the market without switching to junk like this. Still gave it two stars because it's *very* cheap and does work, though not well.

As the title implies. Splurge and buy something that will last.

I got this camera from a vendor on eBay about 5 months ago.  It came shipped directly from China, which appears to be the case with most of these sold on Amazon, as well.  Keep that in mind, because when it comes time to return this thing (which will happen), that will severely complicate things for you.

The lights on the camera really did not make very much sense.  But at least it worked.  Don't even bother with the instructions - they are almost completely useless.  Just take an hour to figure everything out by yourself.  Hint: You need the remote to change certain things, such as which video feed will be the main video in the LCD screen.

The quality wasn't awful, but it wasn't good.  The only good view you'll get from this is during the day, from the front-facing camera.  The rear-facing camera's quality is on par with that of a low-quality VHS tape.

This camera felt incredibly cheap, but it worked adequately for me for about 5 months.  Until it failed for no apparent reason.  Now one light comes on, the screen never comes on, and there isn't anything I can do about it except buy another camera.  This is a really good concept, but the quality is just not there.  Spend a little more money on something else from a reputable manufacturer.

I've revised this review and wish I could now give the product only 1 star
==========================================================================

Impressive set of ranges and resolution and apparent value for money.

The one I received appears to be a return and one corner of the protective rubber is marked and dinged as if someone actually tried the 6ft drop proof test with it. Some functions just didn't work and I've now returned it.

The positive: (pun intended)

Impressive selection of features and ranges.
Rugged construction.
Extra digit of resolution.
Convenient fabric case and strap holds the meter and probes and sensor.

The negative:

Hz and Duty Cycle functions were completely wrong with a 5V 50% duty cycle square wave at 19kHz.

Esxcept some DC Volts ranges, the CLAIMED accuracy is only as good as most other multimeters with one less digit. See below.

The temperature range is several degrees out at room temperature (reading 14.8 instead of 22 degrees C). The spec says +/-1% of reading + 2.5 deg C (excluding probe). Perhaps supplied the probe is poor.

The backlight does not come on automatically. To turn it on you have to press and hold the Hold/backlight button for a couple of seconds (until it bleeps). It then goes off in exactly 10 seconds - rather too quickly.

The continuity tester is a little weak in that it will not always bleep unless you maintain contact for more than about 1/4 second. This means if you are running the probe along a row of contacts to determine which is the one connected you will have to go very slowly.

You have to push the probes quite firmly into the sockets. If you don't you might not get a reading. This caught me out at first, but once learned it's not a big deal and actually adds to the rugged feel.

When it arrived the meter rattled loudly. It turned out that it was simply the battery rattling in the battery compartment (not enough foam). I turned the battery around and this cured it, but it does seem a little lame.

The dial could use a dab of white paint so that its easier to identify which end has the arrow.

I couldn't find the spec's for the accuracy on the web (other than the 0.06% DC Volts) so here they are (from the manual):

DC Volts: +/-(0.06% of reading + 2 digits) except 1000V range which is +/-(0.1% reading + 2 digits)

AC V 400mV range: +/-(1% reading + 4 digits)
All other AC V ranges, DC Current: +/-(1% reading + 3 digits)
AC Current: +/-(1.5% reading + 3 digits)

400Ohm: +/-(0.3% reading + 9 digits)
others to 4MOhm: +/-(0.3% reading + 4 digits)
40MOhm: +/-(2.0% reading + 10 digits)

Cap: 40nF, 400nF: +/-(3.5% reading + 40 digits)
4,40,400uF: +/-(3.5% reading + 10 digits)
4000uF,40mF: +/-(5% reading + 10 digits)

These ended up being so poor I returned them.
Battery life was :30-:40 max. Use was cumbersome and unreliable.

There is a photo/video selection switch behind the back cover and there's another on top of the unit?
To turn this item on, you have to press and hold the front button until the unit vibrates.
To begin recording, you then have to press the rear button until the unit vibrates.

Records files that are only about 3 minutes each (aprx 500 megs).
The AVI format doesn't seem to be 100% correct as audio doesn't play in some video players.
The audio is basically just wind noise anyway when mounted to a helmet.

The battery only lasts 1 hour on average.
The light balancing is horrible. If it's a bright day out, the light adjusts so I can't see anything but the sky very well.
The hardware is decent though. Everything seems to be made of metal.
The mounting hardware is cheap and flimsy. I wouldn't trust the mounts to secure anything more than a cheap camera you don't mind losing.

Summary: While already inexpensive, the camera is still over-priced for a cheaply manufactured item. I value this purchase at $25 though I paid more.

Two stars--for the just under two years this printer lasted (and not an easy two years either). That's probably being generous.

While it did run as well as advertised for a time--maybe as long as a whole year, it wasn't miraculous: it went through ink fairly quickly, and more and more it seems to obsess over cleaning the printer head every time given a job. It wasn't long you could expect the initial loud, grinding cleaning process to take five times as long as your average 1 to 3 page printing job. That'd be more forgivable if it actually seemed effective, except it didn't: in less than a year, a lot of black printing came off increasingly jagged and staggered-looking, the sign of a specific head being dirty (the others were unaffected, probably due to lack of use). Without previous experience, cleaning it was expensive, and that was after using up a cartridge with the seemingly useless self-cleaning feature.

Then, less than two years after purchasing the printer and two months after having the printer head professionally cleaned, it shut off while loudly winding up to begin a simple 2-page PDF. Booting it up brought a B200 error code, power related issue requiring servicing (try and blame ink for that). After using a noninvasive trick to beat the error code (opening and closing the ink tray), the printer worked again--except everything was printed blank (while simulating all the motions for printing). If it wasn't for the slow printing, the agonizing long wind-ups, the bad printer head and everything else, I might've considered troubleshooting further. Instead I decided it was time to throw this into a dumpster.

You would think a home printer would benefit from under use rather than over use--this is just the opposite (and not limited to ink-related issues). Careful, light treatment and it survived less than two years. I'd blame inkjets across the board, but my crude, and crudely-handled HP before that survived more than 4 times as long before I retired it in favor of this--apparently, a mistake. I won't be buying a Canon printer again.

Initially liked the unit, but, over time, it's true character emerged.

1) Battery life =~3hrs only (not as advertised)
Case in point - I started a half hour treadmill workout with battery at 50%. I had less than 0.5 miles left when the endless repeat of low battery started. With 0.25 mile left it just died.
2) Agree with other reviews- "power on" and alert volume is set way too high. Volume in general is high. I kept it at the bottom 2 notches on the volume scale always.
3) sound quality is distorted at times. Recently, after limited use in past 9 months, it drops audio at times and occasionally just goes mute.

Bottom line - this is a unit made to be used (but not abused) for a SHORT time and then tossed.

I know technology, and I like good quality.  I'm like the blu-ray technology, but I'm not impressed with Sony's implementation on the hardware.

I had intended to wait at least six months ago before purchasing a BluRay player, but when my Sony 400 Disc Progressive Scan 1080i output DVD player's motor went out, I was facing $250+ to repair it, $399 for an identical replacement, or $499 for the BDP-S300 player, (or $75-100 for a single DVD player w/ progressive scan & component output).  I opted for the BDP-S300, but since I can still return the unit, I just might.

The biggest issue is that the interface is extremely annoying.  Expect strange delays in many aspects of the user experience.  The responsiveness of the player, whether using the front-panel buttons or the remote leaves the user waiting and wondering if the device is working or not.

The package comes with a "warning" that the initial power-up will take some time, but that in the future, operations will be faster.  Faster is a relative term, and it should not be construed to mean fast.

Even after the very slow initial startup, the unit remains very slow.  For example, it takes about 30 seconds after pushing the power button before the "power on" display shows up.  It takes about 45 seconds from power up until you can insert a disc.  Sometimes, after getting NO response to pressing the button, I'm wondering if my button press registered or not, so I'll press it again.  Low and behold, the disc tray will open - and close - before I can get a disc on the tray.  This is very annoying.

Watching a disc can also be frustrating.  Incrementing chapters is inconsistent, and with the inconsistent responsiveness of the unit, it is sometimes difficult to advance to a desired movie chapter.

If you are going from a very old or very cheap DVD player to the Blu-Ray, then you will notice an improvement in quality.  If you are going from a high-end DVD player with component output and progressive scan, you will not notice AS much a gain in quality - not enough to justify NOT waiting 6 months to a year before purchasing a sucessor to this player.  My advice, wait a little longer - say around November or December 2007.

Mine is going back to the store.

So I bought this and have been using it since I got my S3 (roughly 1 month). My best advice is to look elsewhere. It is not a quality case by any stretch of the imagination.

Pros:
1) Cool logo.
2) Protection is ok. I feel thought if I were to drop this on a medium hard surface (hardwood floor say) it would crack/dent in a hardbeat
3) Cutouts are in correct location.
4) Came on time. Undamaged
5. Comes with 1 screen protector (hope you don't screw it up!)

Cons:
1) My absolute biggest complaint is that it does not fit the S3. It's a hair too big on the sides and since the entire case is a flexible-ish material it constantly unclips/pops off and I feel myself constantly "clicking" it back onto the phone. It feels like someone took a generic case that barely fit the phone and put s3 cuttouts in it.
2) The slipperiest case I've ever owned. The material provides less texture than the phone itself.
3) It's thoroughly unimpressive looking (there are lots out there that look better for as much or slightly more)
4) 2 tone gloss and matte is both useless and ugly.

If I could give this case a 2.5/5 I would. The only reason it receives 2/5 vs 3/5 is that I would not recommend it to anyone... Find a better case There are plenty out there.

The camera arrived well paced and packaged. The manual shows out dated software. IT works fairly well to view live footage, but if you want alerts and saved video, forget it. This thing sucks. I feel as though I threw one hundred bucks out the window. I am glad I didn't buy the outdoor camera at the same time. I've seen many better surveillance systems for a little more money. Shame on me for trying to save a buck. I am a technologist and I've fooled with this thing for too many hours. Next time I will spend the money to get what actually works well. I should've spent 500 to get 5 cameras with a hard drive and server. If you are tempted to buy this, roll the dice but I warned you.

When your lil one sees this and screams "I want that!!!", don't give in and don't let the low price entice you.  The motorcycle grip noisemaker failed within minutes and I had to figure out how to get it to turn off.  I ended up taking it off and putting a regular grip onto it.  The handbrake is really wonky and my son can't reach and pull it successfully (he's 4).  In general, the bike looks really cool and has that wow factor but you soon realize that you get what you pay for.  i ended up donating it and buying my son a better quality bike that was more expensive but would have been less expensive if I had just done that in the 1st place.
