Buyer beware! Don't drop it!

We have an HD Flip Video which we bought at the end of July 2009 for $200 from Best Buy.  It worked fine for what it was, HOWEVER my husband dropped the camera and cracked the lens cover (NOT the lens itself)  Best Buy said to contact the Flip Video company since it was past the 90 day warranty.  We did contact the manufacturer and were told that there were no parts available for repair.  A lens COVER!?!  Not available?  We have a $200 throwaway camera in other words.  Even if we had the extended warranty, it would not have covered an accident, according to the Flip Video company.  So people, be very aware that a mere cracked lens cover will be the death knell of this camera.  You would think that something at this price would have repair possibilities.<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Flip-UltraHD-Camcorder-120-Minutes-Black/dp/B0023B14TK/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Flip UltraHD Camcorder, 120 Minutes (Black)</a>&nbsp;Not so.  You break it, it's history.  We will replace this camera but will NOT consider a Flip and will warn any and all of the lack of technical support as far as repair is concerned.

I purchased this Nook Tablet cover last December, congratulating myself for finding a leather cover that cost only about half as much as the leather covers in our B&N retail store.  After using it for a while, it became apparent that our Nook could slip out of the cover while carrying it.  So my wife and I made mental notes to be careful when carrying our Nook in its cover.  Just last week, however, in our haste to gather our belongings prior to a hotel checkout, our Nook slipped out of its cover and crashed to the tile floor in our room.  The Nook still works but its case was damaged. In subsequent research, I have seen that most other covers have mechanisms for securing the Nook in place inside the cover.  This product has no such mechanism. Avoid purchasing this product!

I got this  because it was pretty thought it would decently protect my phone.  And it is def pretty.  However, it is hard to hold on to.  I dropped my phone ONCE.... from a normal level onto a tile floor.  It hit the corner, which is covered by the case... My gorilla glass screen cracked.  Phone destroyed. Had to get a new one.  If you want a pretty case...go for it.  But if you think you'll drop it... BEWARE.  No exaggeration, one drop. Phone destroyed.

BAD!!!!  Do not get. I got it and the next day I dropped it once and boom it broke. Although it was waterproof it was not drop proof. This is all true not exaggerating

I loved this flask. I kept it in my purse, where it fit handily, and people always commented on its cool looks when I pulled it out to drink from it.

And then I dropped it, and the whole bottom came off. Well, my bad. I bought another one.

And then I dropped my purse with it inside, and the purse hit the floor, and the whole bottom came off the new flask. While it was inside my purse. Filling my purse with water. Not cool.

So, if you trust yourself never to drop it - or worse, to drop it while it's in a container you would prefer to keep puddle-free - buy one! It's totally cool. If you're occasionally fumble-fingered like me, though, I regretfully advise you to stay away.

DO NOT BUY THIS !
 These are known to break ,
( look at that picture , the left side . See that prong thing in the middle ? THAT`S what breaks .)
That little prong is FAMOUS for breaking , I have broken at least 10 times  ,
I have even broken the Belt Clip ! And every time ,Otterbox would replace the Holster at no charge !
 It used to be okay if you broke your Otterbox Defender Holster .
You would simply goto www.otterbox.com and click on the warrenty tab .
And you were one your way to a replacement Holster from Otterbox , FREE !
But , those days are OVER !
Now they want $6.99 just to file the warrenty claim !
Do yourself a favor find something else . I know , I know ... That sucks because , otherwise it was a really good product.
And if it broke , No Problem ! .. But now they charge to replace it..
They call it a "Care and Handling Fee ." I call it not standing by your product !

Extremely fragile. I was bringing this to work daily with filtered water from home. It initially seemed like a great product. It is clean and healthy glass, good quality top, and some silicone to help with the grip. My routine is to put my bag on the ground, grab the bottle from the side pocket, and set it on the ground right next to my bag.

Well, this morning I guess I was still sleepy. I grabbed it out of the side pocket of the bag and as I was about to set it on the ground, it slipped out of my hand. My office floor is carpet. The bottle was about 6 inches from the ground. It shattered into many pieces. I had to call and get the carpet vacuumed because of the hundreds of pieces of glass embedded in the carpet.

This was way too fragile. I own a whole bunch of borosilicate glass products. They are typically quite durable. They are way more durable than standard glass. This bottle however is the most fragile piece of glass I've ever seen. 6 inches of drop onto carpet and it shatters into a hundred pieces. Not even just a single crack, but pieces everywhere.

The product description here specifically says "Our glass is made from high borosilicate glass". I don't believe it for a second. I think the product description is dishonest

I had it less than 2 days, it fell off the bed and the screen cracked. Two foot drop onto a soft floor. I understand why it is such a bargain now.  Will not buy from Nextbook again.

Update: I called their customer service to set up some kind of repair.  They consider this a non-repairable unit and will not exchange or offer any assistance at any price.  It is now electronic waste.  I think I'll take it apart and put the video on youtube.

Moral of the story: If you are buying something fragile that consists largely of thin glass, buy the accident coverage unless you can afford to replace it, and a good case.  This lesson cost me $70, I offer it to you for free.

But, I will say this to end on a more positive note:  I really was not quite sure what I was going to use a tablet for, I just knew there was a lot of development in Android and at less than $100, I thought it was worth playing with. I was so impressed, I went to a store and bought another tablet, same size, better brand, little bit more expensive.  But, it has a metal back, for what that's worth.  They threw in a free case, some cheesy earbuds and a year of antivirus.

I have to say, the tablet concept is pretty slick.  I can tell it what I want to buy, and when I am done, it prints the list, or saves it or whatever.  It's a great photo album, mp3 player, tivo remote control, and I'm still exploring!

Highly recommend a tablet, just not this one.

This is the second bottled we have ordered.  It is a very efficient diffuser, but....DONT DROP IT!  If this bottle is dropped, the top part completely falls apart and you can no longer use the cover.  The plastic part with the spring breaks right away.  Great concept UNTIL it falls to the floor or gets jiggled around too much.  I want my money back for the TWO bottles I ordered and have had broken.

very fragile.  it slid off the console it is usually plugged into onto the floor of the vehicle.  this drop could be no more than a foot.  the usb adapters inside stopped working.  careful not to nudge this product as it may stop working.

DO NOT BUY THIS!

It is designed to drop ice cubes into it. The opening is too small to do other than to drop in the ice cubes. Even a small hand will not fit.

The second time I used it, I dropped in an ice cube as gently as possible. And the bottom of the container shattered! Considering that it was even sitting flat on a counter, being reinforced from behind, such a failure in engineering is difficult to believe.

This is an expensive product. eighty dollars! And i got ONE use out of it.

There is another flaw with the design, though not as great as the shattering container. The tea strainer is plastic.

Almost all tea strainers are metal for a reason. That is because the heat of the hot water sitting there in the strainer melts some of the plastic and you ingest it. Even the least expensive tea pot comes with a metal strainer. For something as pricey as this design, to have a plastic strainer is deplorable. You can't tell looking at the product either because the container that holds the tea strainer is stainless metal. So it's very deceptive.

DO NOT BUY THIS! SAVE YOUR MONEY!!

BUYER BEWARE!!!! I bought this thing because it had great reviews and I needed a screen protector. I noticed that one of the pictures showed that I can beat it with a hammer and only the screen protector would be cracked. I bought two so I can have some fun with this. It looked great when it arrived, you know nice and sturdy. So I went ahead and put it on my phone and proceeded to give it a couple blows with a hammer. But what happened next I just couldn't fathom. THE WHOLE PHONE BROKE. IT CRACKED ALL OVER AND CHUNKS OF IT FLEW OFF. IT WAS COMPLETELY BROKEN. Not only did I waste money on this but now I have to buy another phone. If I can rate this -100 stars I would do so in a heartbeat.

This case looks and feels very good.  But it is deceptive in that it feels sturdy.  It is not - it *easily* pops open when dropped.  I just found this out yesterday with my week-old iPod falling while I was biking, the top popped off and the face of my new iPod was terribly scraped up on the asphalt.  I would have had more protection with a thin plastic film.
For all the thickness the case adds, it does not add any more protection than a plastic sheet.
Buyer beware!

It is broken!!  I have no memory of dropping the device.  It may have some impact.  But it should not be so fragile.
I believe it has a warranty.  It is broken in 3 months!!  I don't know how to ask for fixing it.  Amazon warranty for 1 months is passed.
I am so disappointed with it.  I uploaded the picture.

Up front; the customer service rep for Brightex did what she could.  Unfortunately, she couldn't make a bad product good.  My initial impression with this product was good.  It was incredibly bright for its size.  It came with both a rechargeable battery/charger,and a AAA battery pack.  For about a month, it worked as advertised.  Then... I dropped it.  Not from a cliff, rooftop, or treetop, mind you, but from my belt to the ground...38"...  Yes, I measured it....  It had survived one of these drops before, but one was all it would survive.  After the second drop, the on/off switch started malfunctioning.  Not exactly what one would expect for a $50.00 compact flashlight; especially one marketed as a "tactical" flashlight!  The Brightex rep sent me another switch, at the same time saying the blame was on me because I dropped it.  While waiting for the new switch, the light fell from my belt again.  At this point, the light turned on, and wouldn't turn off.  I had to remove the bottom of the flashlight to shut it off.  While waiting the few days for the new switch to arrive, I took the switch out of the base of the flashlight, and found that the body of it had shattered; this, even though all three times the light fell, it fell on its head-end.  The new switch arrived.  It didn't work right either.  At that point I sent it back for a refund.

Notice the number of falls this light incurred in a month.  This wasn't because I was clumsy; it was because the belt clip was woefully inadequate for the size and weight of the light.  All three times the light fell from my belt it was because the belt clip splayed from catching on the seat belt of my Jeep as it retracted.  I doubt that the clip was even spring steel.  I noticed something else that would make you not want to buy this product; it's advertised as being waterproof, but there is no seal between the lens and the body of the light; at least there wasn't on mine.  This renders the other o-ring seals on the light useless, and will let moisture into the most critical part of the light; the LED cavity.  There's NO WAY this light, at least as I received it, could POSSIBLY be waterproof, or even weatherproof.  How did I find this out?  I was using it one night, and went to "zoom" the beam in, at which point the lens fell into the LED cavity.  Upon taking it apart, I found that the ring that held the lens in place had unscrewed and fallen in as well.  Remember; this light was only a month old.

I know that just about everything these days is made in China, and that not everything is bad.  This product, however, is the kind of thing that gives products from China their bad name.  Save yourself the frustration I experienced.  Spend a little more, and get the corresponding quality...

I have used this case for a couple of weeks.
Thought I liked it until last friday when my $600 phone went sailing to the sidewalk, having popped out of the poorly thought out holster that comes with the case.
My power button was damaged in this fall necessitating a repair by Apple that will cost me $250!
I am ripping mad of course and I blame Speck for selling a product that simply fails to do what it is supposed to do. Carry and protect the most expensive gadget I have ever owned.

I have a Droid DNA that I received as a warranty replacement after my old DNA shattered on the pavement when my running arm band failed. I promptly purchased this case - as an IT Helpdesk guy I've used an extensive line of Otterbox products ranging from tablet to smartphone cases and thought very highly of them.

Sadly I noticed within a week of putting the case on my phone that the screen had cracked! I did not drop, sit on or put any pressure on my phone. Additionally, while supporting a user with the same case for his Samsung S4 he noticed the corner of his phone had cracked too despite no apparent shock or falling damage to the unit.

I see other reviews and product information about the DNA's being prone to cracking. My old DNA only cracked after taking an extremely hard fall on the pavement (in a cheap, flimsy case). I speculate that the rigid structure of this case does not flex enough and it put pressure on the glass causing it to crack. Now I'm stuck with a cracked screen on an otherwise flawless phone and flawless case.

Sometimes people put reviews up claiming product defects or frustration that can be attributed to a lack of knowledge regarding the product or it's proper use. As someone who has worked in the IT Sector for the past 10 years and understands these situations occur, I feel confident saying that is not the case (pun intended) here.
