one flaw, a pretty big one

I like that this book has many designs not very common, for example, drangons and unicorns.  But the font is small and there is one design (one that i kNow off as of right now) which the chart is printed across two pages and the very middle of the chart cannot be seen. I will upload a pic for reference. I really wanna stitch that design (a dragon with wings) but sadly unless i break the book, i will not be able to see the chart. It is very upsetting

I really wanted to like this camera 100%, but one major flaw was a deal-breaker for me.  The camera appears very well made and feels solid.  It doesn't have that cheesy-looking ring of LEDs around the lens for night vision, but they are hidden behind the faceplate.  It's probably one of the best looking cameras on the market.  The image quality is ok, but certainly not close to my 720p TV set, although I suspect that is a function of the lens quality.  The sound is actually pretty good in both directions, and the video and audio lag is minimal (1 to 2 seconds when viewing live on a PC, a little longer using the iPhone and iPad apps).  The motion detection worked very well for me, and the ability to set 3 independent, irregularly shaped detection areas was very nice.  The playback on the saved clips indicates which of the 3 areas triggered the recording.  The length of each clip is determined by the length of the motion.  Maybe there is an upper limit (like the 5-minutes for a forced recording), but my experience has been with shorter clips, like 1 or 2 minutes, and the recording usually ends a second or two after the motion stops.  Sometimes it looks like there is a 2 or 3 second "buffer" built into the system, because many of my clips actually start before any motion was detected, so you can see the very start of the motion; not sure why it doesn't do that every time.
Unfortunately, there is one major flaw which is a significant problem for me. I was led to believe by the product description and some of the other reviews that e-mails or texts could be used to provide notification of motion detection, but in fact Alerts are the only type of notification you can receive (this was confirmed by their Customer Service, was was always very pleasant and easy to contact).  The REAL problem is that the Alert will only go through if your phone is logged into the app, and when you're logged in you're using data.  I measured about 16 MB of data use after being logged in for only about 1/2 hour!  The free cloud storage is nice, but my data cost would be through the roof if I left my phone logged in all day while I'm at work. So that sort of defeats the purpose of having a security camera, in my mind.
Maybe a future software update will resolve this problem, but I plan on sending mine back.  Too bad, I really liked the camera.

Overall a pretty good case, but has a major flaw.  With this case installed, the selfie mode, heart-rate sensor, and O2 sensor will not work.

I like it enough to buy a second one, but let me just get to the downside.
On a flat surface larger than this piece you will find yourself in a predicament. I attached this to my steady cam and the other to my camera jib. I had to find a way to raise the plate so that the tightening nob would work. The reason it was not working was because the nob was being pressed against the surface of where I mounted it to. The designers did not take this into consideration, even though it would of been fairly easy to fix. Once I raised it by putting some plastic between it and the metal, the nob worked fine.
That design aspect is bad, and I think it should be pointed out. I wish I could give a recommendation for a better solution to the problem, but this is the first quick release plate I have messed with so far.
Its sturdy, and obviously great quality, just keep that in mind as I and others have had problems in that area.

Excepting one unfortunately major issue, this is a very nice pack.

There's a pass-through pocket in the front with a bit of velcro, intended for CCWs and the like; currently I have a couple spare magazines in there loose.  It's a decent size, but not great for items thicker than maybe an inch or so.

Behind that is a larger zip-down pocket with velcro/molle; I carry a couple organizer pouches in there (one's a boo-boo kit with bandaids, contact solution and case, some alleve, etc; the other has some USB cords and a wall charger, USB key, and similar items) and a pack of baby wipes (useful for cleaning hands, sanitizing public restrooms, or similar...or just cleaning).  It's fairly voluminous; during the winter I added a mid-weight baclava, glove liners, and gloves into it with no problem.

Further back is a larger pass-through pocket, which I use for my tablet and BT keyboard.  Occasionally I'll also stash a folded raincoat, pair of gloves or similar items that I want easily available.  Much like the first pocket, it works best for fairly shallow items.

Above the larger pass-through is an organizer pocket; I have a mid-size notepad, pen and pencil, some miscellanous keys, and a wallet with various cards in there.

The main pocket has 3 pouches: a velcro laptop pouch on the back, and 2 zippered mesh pouches on the front.  It zips apart fully, and has compression straps about 2/3 the way up.  When travelling over the winter I had a legal-size organizer portfolio in the laptop pouch, my work laptop, a thick pullover coat, an abbreviated toiletry kit, a couple paperbacks, and some other miscellanea as a carryon; especially with the compression straps it was a pretty easy carry through the airports.  I haven't found the mesh pouches terribly useful, but they don't really impede the main pocket's use.

Last, there's a very flat pouch with a padded framesheet; I'm not sure it's really intended to be used, but you could put some flat items (maybe an ultrabook-type laptop) in there.

There's two bottle pouches on the sides, easily large enough to carry a 1L Nalgene bottle.  They are mesh, which some don't like as it catches on branches and such, but IMO this isn't a pack for that type of environment.  They have elastic cords at the top so they can be cinched down.

The back pads are nice, airflow is decent and the lumbar pads are high-friction which arrests most movement.  The shoulder straps are well-padded; when adding the sternum strap they hold the weight very well.  The sternum strap is adjustable in about 1.25-1.5" increments; I usually just remove it and attach it around one of the shoulder straps for daily use.

The big failing is the never-sufficiently-damned handle.  If you tighten the shoulder straps, the thing digs into the back of your neck.  If you loosen the straps so it doesn't, the pack falls down-and-out from your spine and throws the balance all off.  It's pretty much terrible.  My best guess is they based the design on something with load lifter straps, then omitted the lifters.  It's also sewed as a part of the shoulder straps, not sewed onto them, so I can't really just cut it off.

The pack is overall good enough I can't recommend against it, but at the same time I can't really recommend it for use.  If I hadn't been hoping it would break in or I'd figure out a way to carry it, I'd return it and try to find something similar without the handle.

I have a keyboard tray in the office, and wanted one for my home workspace which is in my guest room - so i wanted something I could just stash in the closet when I didn't need it.  This fits the bill really well in that it's light, and the height adjusts very easily.

However, there's one big flaw.  I measured the the actual tray carefully, to ensure it would fit into my desk's knee space.  It does, which is great.  BUT.  If you need to adjust the height to its lowest setting, the legs will expand to be wider that the tray's width.  In my case, it means that the legs don't fit into the knee space under my desk.  Which means I have to keep the tray at a higher setting than I'd prefer.

That problem aside, this does exactly what I want.

The operational function is 5 stars. I must say the unit very very well constructed. However, that said, one part of the unit sucks. To me there's no reason why the unit has to be so bulky, other than the fact it has to stand out among the other flash drives. A little less bulk would be able to have Patriot invent a way to incorporate "an attached cover" to protect the USB port probe. As of now, the cover [it's sturdy no doubt it] must be manually removed and replaced. If you're a neat freak you will have no problems what-so-ever. However, if like me, the desk is cluttered [maybe the floor too] loaded with electronic gear, there is definitely a chance of misplacing/losing the darn super built probe cover. Yeah, I know picky picky.............

Holding this the way one normally holds a book, with the top pointed away from you, the light shines directly in your eyes.  I don't see how there's anyone who isn't having this problem.  The only way I can see to avoid it is to hold the Kindle perfectly parallel to the body, or with the top tilted toward you.  And I've never seen anyone hold a book (or a Kindle) like that.

Build quality is fine and all that, but there's a big design flaw.

EDIT: Bumped up one star after I realized a piece of tape or cardboard can be attached to the arm to block me from seeing the light source.  It still should have been designed such that this wouldn't be necessary.

Despite its flaws, I look forward to using this on an upcoming 3-week trip, along with a trio of hard cases. I think I'll keep everything in it I might need during the ride--sunblock, phone, hydration bladder, etc.

The product seems as if it was not thoroughly inspected before being placed on the market, however. Here are its 3 big design flaws:

1. Hydration hose clip is on the throttle side, making it harder to use.

2. This bag really needs a sturdy carrying handle. All they give you to carry it with is the strap connecting the 2 outside zippers.

3. There are 2 patches of misaligned velcro that are supposed to hold down the outer flap (map holder). This is a seemingly minor issue (flap still stays down), but it's amazing that this detail was overlooked.

I've been using this case for more than a year and it's worked pretty well. However, there are a few things I dislike about it:
1) You can't close the top zipper all the way AND use the handles. Really only a problem if it's raining outside, but that does seem to happen to me frequently.
2) The case seems to attract hair (i have dogs) and it's hard to get it off. Not cool when you're taking it into business meetings.
3) I slide this case, computer and all, sideways into a backpack when traveling by air. At the TSA checkpoint, i have to pull the whole case out to remove the computer because the zipper doesn't go far enough down the sides for me to slip the computer out the side of the case (from the top of the backpack). This is pretty nit-picky, but someone might find this info helpful.

This is a great low-profile, strong wall mount.  It's simple and strong and well made, and certainly gets the job done.  And it comes with a nice hardware package of 6 big wall screws and a bunch of TV mount machine screws and spacers.  I didn't use the included HDMI cable, preferring my own top-quality ones.

But it has one unbelievable flaw -- that would have been SO SIMPLE for the manufacturer to correct ... but "too late now" I suppose.

I'm sure you're aware that the age-old standard for residential houses in North America have the wall studs spaced at 16 inches, center to center.  So when you go to secure this mount to your home wall, you want to find a place for the screws at 0, 16, and 32 inches apart.  While this bracket has lots of long slotted areas for the wall mount screws, there are NONE where you can find them at 0, 16, and 32 inches!  Incredibly stupid, it seems.  Then again, in the country of manufacture, there's probably a different standard for the spacing.  But if you're going to sell the product in North America, you really ought to provide appropriate spacing/slotting for the standard here.

So anyway, I had to get out my angle grinder and elongate a set of slots near the center of the mount, by about 3/4 inch, so that I could get the necessary 0/16/32 spacing ... and then securely screwed it to my wall studs.  You could hang a car from this mount, if you could figure out how to attach it to the verticals.

I'd give it a full five stars apart from this slot-spacing design "whoops".

P.S. Now that I look at the product photograph on Amazon again, I realize that some folks may be confused by my comments above.  The product photo shows a continuous set of long slots, so if I received the pictured mount, there would surely be the opportunity to line up at 0/16/32.  But the wall mount that I received is slightly different from what is pictured.  On mine, those wide slots aren't continuous all the way across.  Rather, near the center of the mount, there's more metal left in place, so the slots are narrower.  Perhaps mine is an older design that is now fixed by the design shown in the picture.  Or perhaps mine is a newer design that added more metal for strength -- but inadvertently caused this 0/16/32 spacing issue.  I don't know.  But it appeared "new in the box" when I unpacked it, and shipped via Amazon Prime mid-February 2014.

I am reviewing this product again after my first review after having used it for some days. I still think the product is great except for one serious flaw it has, which is a deal breaker. the shift and the up key is switched and I was surprised why a company like Logitech has overlooked such flaw in its architecture. this make the typing without mistakes virtually impossible. A key which is pressed every time to capitalize the word is misplaced with an up key so when every you tend to press the up key you shift the cursor to the sentence above and makes everything so annoying. If you can do without pressing the right shift key the I would recommend it otherwise please think twice before you buy! I would be happy if Logitech fixes this problem with some kind of fireware updated to the key board otherwise we will have a fancy keyboard which will lie around in our desk without being used as a show-piece, a $29 show piece!

While this product does appear be of decent quality, there is one unforgivable flaw in the design; it is way to big to fit any iPad, let alone the iPad Air. As a frame of reference, I was able to fit two standard DVD cases in the sleeve without any effort. While I don't actually own an 11" MacBook Air to test this out, I can only assume that it would be a closer fit (although probably too tight for practical use).

Other than the one unforgivable flaw stated above, the case has a nice feel, with smooth zippers and a guard to keep the zipper from scratching whatever was intended to be placed within. It also comes with a nice strap to carry the case by and has a side pocket to fit a charger or a Nexus 7 (which I do have and was able to test out).

We've owned various Mr Coffees over the years and have been generally satisfied. When our old one finally kicked the bucket I bought this one, thinking it was a good replacement. And it is, at least in terms of the coffee it turns out. I always use a gold mesh filter so I don't have to mess with paper filters, but I've used it with paper filters, too, and the quality doesn't vary noticeably with method.

But there is one really aggravating flaw for this particular model. The carafe always drips a few drops onto the counter after you are finished pouring a cup; no matter what I do those few drops slip down the front of the carafe and onto the counter. I finally solved the problem by making sure that I pour the coffee into a cup while holding it over the sink, which in our case is about three feet from where the coffeemaker lives. And although that's only a mild irritation, it still represents a design flaw. Sorry if this sounds petty, but if I had known ahead of time that it had this problem I wouldn't have bought it.

Been using this for a few days and so far so good. My daily commute is in the suburbs so I can leave it in Highway mode and not get too many false alarms.

However, even though it works well from an alert standpoint, there is a huge flaw with the design. Not being able to dim the indicators is one thing but not being able to turn off the two bright blue lights on top of the device is a real problem.

This time of the year, my commute is dark in both directions. When the detector goes off, those blue lights are extremely visible to any vehicle near me. That means if I wasn't speeding, which I'm not most of the time, an officer can still see that I obviously have a radar detector. Although it's not illegal in PA (as of this review, radar detectors are only contraband in VA and DC), I feel totally uncomfortable alerting officers that I have this. Potentially, even when I'm driving speed limit, they could find a reason to pull me over and write me a citation for windshield obstruction. Oh, how ironic and tragic it would be!

I'm still keeping this device since it works well but I'll be adding some electrical tape to cover up those blue lights. The blue lights are meant to grab your attention, not others within a quarter mile radius. If a blue light was on a short wire dangling below the dash, that would be perfect. Minus 1 star due to not being able to turn those off.

The keyboard pairs easily, and it's nice that it can pair to a second device, like a phone, and switch between them.

The magnet that secures the keyboard to the back case is a little weak, which causes the iPad to separate from the keyboard more easily than I'd like. Another minor annoyance is that the Apple control keys are on the number row, meaning you have to hold down the Fn key to activate them.
The keyboard also goes into sleep mode far sooner than I'd like.
The MAJOR flaw that I've discovered is that while streaming music to a BlueTooth speaker, the keyboard inserts extra keystrokes while you are typing. That is a major deal breaker for me.

I'm waiting for the Zagg Tough Book to come out, and then I will sell this keyboard and buy that one.

I had really wanted this to be perfect and it almost was. There is one blatant design flaw however that needs to be rectified, in my opinion.  There is no feature that allows you to hold the baskets together when flipping.  Im talking about something like a piece of metal that you slide over the handles keep the basket together.  Without it the baskets have a tendency to open and spill the contents onto the grill.  I fixed the issue by taking a piece from an old basket and using it on this new one. It made it just what I wanted. (See picture). PS.  Make sure you have a good set of insulated gloves on when you either turn the basket on the grill or remove it from the grill, it gets really hot and holds the heat.
