I had bought this as a Christmas present for my boyfriend.  It didn't come with any instructions and we couldn't get it to work.  Luckily, my boyfriend is really good at working with technology and learned how to fix it on the internet.  We got it to work, but its really not that great.  The picture is off and barely fits the Samsung Note 6 he has.  He hardly uses it anymore. I would save your money on this item if I were you.

Repair took me about an hour. It was fun to do myself, and the kit contained everything I needed. The youtube video from iCracked was almost comically useless, but there are plenty of others out there, better and easy to find.
I seem to have replaced my proximity sensor incorrectly--the screen does not always go dark when I hold it to my ear for a call. As a bluetoother, I'm not too bothered by this, and I am not going back in to fix it. Just take care replacing all of the elements.

It's not easy, but it is worth it. the product is great. the youtube tutorial is great and if you have just a little experience fixing things you'll be just fine.

I'm kind of a techie - I mean - I like technology, and am finishing a degree in clinical informatics, but I've never really put the little things together. This was easy!

My preteen is being challenged in his home schooling program, and he loves working on the computer.
Nuff said!

PS.. it's good quality too. SO Dad and mom are happy.
needs some ease of access work. Should be easier to retest.

I bought this as a gift for my husband because traditional paper planners and him do not get along, but he loves technology. After reviewing a lot of similar items, and with help from some tech-savvy people, I chose this one due to cost and what he would need it to do. I am technology challenged and I can work this device with ease, I am pleased with my choice, and my husband was ecstatic.  It is user friendly, and if you know a lot about these things there are some really cool options that you can set up.  It's great for on the go :)

I've cracked/otherwise made inoperable far too many iPhone screens than I'm willing to admit, mainly because of how much money wasted that translates into...

Now I'm no DIY expert (and given my past luck, if something could go terribly wrong while tinkering with much needed and expensive personal electronics, it would happen to me...), but turns out I didn't need to be! As long as you have the right perspective in terms of how huge of a time/money saver this process can be (and of course a little patience), you can make a paperweight phone 100% functional again in an hours time (give or take a bit) and for less than FIFTY bucks!

If you're anything like me with the devices you count on day in and day out, give this some consideration.

In two words... Simply phenomenal.

I bought an Acer R13 for my dad who is 65. He has some off and on Windows experience but isn't super interested in new tech. He's only had to use tech toward the end of his career. He's very smart but very oldschool.  Bottom line, this book was a great investment, for him and later for me.  I thought the Chromebook would collect dust but he uses it every day for utilitarian things like recipes and email.  He read the book cover to cover and consults it periodically.  I'm more of a mac guy so it was an interesting read for me too.  As previous reviewers stated, folks who are tech savvy won't need this, but for an older dude who's computer skills are fairly rudimentary, this book has really helped

My boyfriend is aimlessly wandering the back porch with this silly thing on every evening when I get home. I mean I play PC/Steam games regularly, but he really LOVES this thing, he thinks its amazing. Ill tell him that he looks like a fool, but me pays no attention. This is apparently one incredible 3d thingy.

My finace was so excited when he opened this gift for Valentine's Day! He had just finished up a course in Thermodynamics and loved how he understood exactly what was going on with his gift. He's a mechanical engineer and I also got him a RC helicopter. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a good, unique gift for an engineer. It's special because I was able to give him something I know he's passionate about. =)

Fabulous book! My teenager always has his face in a computer screen and it makes me worry, but this helped me understand the skills he is gaining from the screen time so that I can support him in developing a healthy relationship to technology!

After finding my phone out of warranty, I decided to try fixing the charging port myself.  I have never done phone repair before, so I was a little nervous about trying this.  A quick search on youtube turned up some very easy to follow video with instructions - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqCEXEmcj4Y.
If you don't have the right tools, I recommend getting a micro-Philips type screwdriver, pry tool, and pair of tweezers - there are a number of options available on Amazon as a set for phone repair.  Total time to fix was less than 20 minutes including watching the how-to video before I started.  I did find having a strong flashlight helped me see where all the screws went after I was done.
Overall, a very easy repair.

I had slight technical issues with my system, and the Rep. Owen Lucas was able to remote into my computer, and my security system and he fixed everything for me in a matter of minutes. He explained everything as he went along. I usually dread calling a company for technical support, but Owen made this experience pain free and enjoyable! He's a great asset to the company. I had problems viewing my cameras from work, and he fixed that too!
