The is the best designed club cleaning tool I have found.  The head has double rows of copper bristles surrounded by synthetic bristles that are taller.  A groove cleaning tool flips out for use and back to hide .  The cleaning head is easily removed and can be replace with the extra head included.  The tool itself is attached to a long retractable wire . The housing clips to the towel ring or other spot on your golf bag.  The price was 1/3 less than local sources.

I am 110% satisfied with this purchase. The bag is fantastic and has so many neat features and outstanding characteristics that I will likely forget to mention all of them in this review, but here's my attempt:

GENERAL PROS:
- This size is perfect for a relatively large collection of camera equipment. I keep a Nikon D3200, the kit lens (18-55 mm), a 55-200 mm lens, a 35 mm prime lens, and all my camera accessories (lens hoods, cleaning supplies, battery charger, etc.) in my pack. ALL OF THOSE ITEMS FIT IN THE CAMERA SECTION OF THE BAG! The top portion of it is still completely free for me to use for other items, including books, lightweight jackets and outerwear, and plenty of other stuff. It's also worth noting that I plan on expanding my lens collection, probably by purchasing a macro lens, and I am not the slightest bit worried about lack of space.

- This bag's construction is of a very high level of quality. Durable materials, solid zippers, and plenty of padding were all utilized in creating this great product. I plan on taking it skiing this coming winter and I am confident my camera will be safe while I shush.

- There are a ton of features incorporated into the pack's design. It includes a rain cover, a tripod/monopod holder on one side and a water bottle holder on the other, a changeable divider system in the camera compartment, a pouch for cables and audio equipment (for shooting video) in the top compartment, removable waist and  adjustable chest straps, and the signature of the bag - it's innovative side-accessible camera section. I obsess over value for money when shopping and this is a clear winner in that respect.

USAGE PROS:
- The bag is a great platform for making lens changes in worrisome environments. I brought this pack with me on a trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands (which feature lots of sand and dust) and was able to take it off, place it back-side down on a rock/natural surface, open the camera compartment, and use the inside flat surface as a place to put lenses down while making changes. Not once did I worry about sand, dirt, or dust getting into/onto my equipment.

- The design is attractive, but very low-key. This is great because it blends in with regular backpacks and bags instead of letting everyone around you know that it contains thousands of dollars in camera equipment. I traveled in and out of Boston, MA on public transportation a number of times while carrying my D3200 (+ lenses) with this and never worried about it being public info.

- The side access feature is just plain awesome. Here's an example of what it lets you (or, in this case, me) do: While walking on a beach in Turks and Caicos, I spotted a large pelican perched on top of a post. I was able to remove the right should strap, swing the bag under my left arm, open the side flap, remove my camera, and take photos within seconds.

CONS:
- I purchased it in the summer and now have to wait until it snows to see how much it enhances my skiing experience.

VERDICT:
- No matter what your level of skill, camera brand preference, or kit size, the Fastpack is fantastic for you!

Just got this in the mail today, and it is a very clever design.  After reading the other negative reviews on this site, I am somewhat surprised by the critiques.  Here's my take:

(1) The thing COULD  be smaller.  Like one reviewer said, lose the AAA cell and use a button cell instead.

(2) The mic switch IS hard to move.  Maybe it will break-in with use, and I can see how the designers didn't want the switch to move accidentally and drain the cell, but the resistance is much too high.

(3) The battery door on my unit is very secure.  No chance of it opening up inadvertently, unlike others experiences.  Maybe this was fixed.

(4) The switch is meant to be worn on the belt.  The mic is NOT located in the switch unit; instead, it's in the female audio connector housing.  I assume Shure did it this way by design.  They probably discovered that putting the mic in the switch housing would cause far too much handling noise and/or would position the mic in a poor location for picking up conversations under normal use.  In my case, I have greatly shortened my Shure earphone cable and I clip the end of that cable to my shirt lapel.  The PTH mic is thus high on my chest, ideal for hearing someone trying to speak to me.

(5) One reviewer was critical of "bleed-through."  I think the unit was designed this way; turning on the mic does not mute the music, but instead reduces the level greatly.  I personally like the effect of still being able to faintly hear the music in the background.

I think it's a very clever design, serving a very real need (removing and reinserting earphones is a PITA, especially for those using foam plugs).  I love the isolation, but that degree of isolation is precisely why this PTH unit is needed.  My only complaint is that the unit could have been made 75% smaller with a button cell.

Very very nice.  The design is outstanding!  The vent on the top is nice, but the pot also has the side vents that insure that if the top vent gets clogged with whatever, the side vents are there as a backup. The side vents all but guarantee that there will never be overflow while in simmer mode , which can get all over your stove top and make a nasty mess. Price is cheap for what you're getting.  I'd buy it at $39.00 but shhhhhhh........

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much given the price of this bed, but I was so pleasantly surprised. Not only does this cost less than a similar (but wood, instead of leather) bed at IKEA, it is made better.

From the get-go, this bed is cleverly designed. All the components fit right into the headboard and zip up, so if you need to move or want to store it, it is super easy. I stored the components from my old bed in the headboard and I am so happy to not have to store yet another thing in my storage room. It also makes shipping easier and less costly for the environment. It comes well packaged, too, because the exterior box had been punctured several times, but an interior box kept everything safe and secure.

Assembly is pretty straightforward. Attach the braces to the head and footboard, install the frame, put the feet on and lay down the mattress support slats. It looks very nice once assembled, you'd never guess how affordable it is. The artificial leather looks rich and expensive and it has sideboards that pad the side so not only does it add to the look, but you don't bump your legs or hips on it. The bed is fairly low to the ground, for a contemporary look, which I like. It feels sturdy enough to stand up to the stress that a bed takes, and the joinery installed in the bed seems like it can take a beating, which is important, because the spots where furniture join are the places that usual fail first.

Overall, I'm very impressed with this bed and its clever design

Strong material, heavy duty connectors, and well-built.  Completely well thought out design, especially when one or both of the dogs are aggressive towards other dogs.

Dogs walk together well.  However, if one is doing their business, the other dog needs to be held back with the loop to keep from having to pickup a distance of poop.

Great design, highly recommended.

Wow!
This is an outstanding product of top notch design and good materials. It is well constructed and available for about 1/4th the price (if you can find it) of a box store item. Ordered on a Saturday night and delivered Tuesday AM. My wife loves the wide zipper compartments and the comfort of the provided shoulder strap - a very classy one of a kind item.

I have spent about 30 minutes with each of the iMac configurations (17" and 20") at my local Apple Store and can report on what I've seen.

The design of this machine is brilliant and online pictures do not do it justice. It is remarkably stable and easily adjustable. The cpu/monitor (hereafter refered to as the "slab") tilts vertically with the push of a finger in a smooth motion. The arm that supports the slab also can be slid easily to rotate on the horizontal axis. The slab also supports standard VESA mounts so that the iMac can be attached to the wall on an articulating VESA arm. An interesting design note is that the fullsize components are meticulously arranged in the chassis so that the whole unit is center balanced on the anodized aluminum arm. This alone is an impressive engineering feat. Equally impressive is the user repair/upgradeability of this machine. Virtually every component is easilly accesable and replaceable by the user.

Some people have opinioned that the i/o ports in the rear might look ungainly or make the unit unstable. Not true. The units I looked at had ethernet, usb and firewire cables plugged in and routed through the whole in the base of the stand. It looked very clean and from a stability standpoint I don't think the iMac knew they were there. And by adding an Airport Extreme card and Bluetooth module (yes I agree they should have been standard) You iMac may be completely wireless, save the powercord.

The monitors on both models were sharp and bright with excellent viewing angles. I prefer the 20" model for the extra screen real estate.

The store I visited was very busy and loud so I decided to give the speakers a workout and see if they could cut through the ambient noise. I launched a movie trailer for Nemo and was surprised at how good they sounded. I don't think they can compare to a powered external speaker setup but considering their size and placement (they are inset under the bottom lip of slab and fire down at the desk) they sound very good.

Because the Apple Store I visited was so noisy, I was unable to hear the iMac's fans so I can't report on how the machine would sound in a quiet home office environment. Apple claims it is whisper quiet.

General speed of the 1.8 model was excellent. Applications opened quickly if not instantly and everything felt responsive.

For the benefit of those wavering Windows users out there, I want to make a point about my own experience with processor speed. Before switching from a homebuilt PC with an Athalon 1800 back in 2002 I was worried about the speed hit I would take when moving to a lowly 867mhz G4. I can honestly say that the only thing that suffered was high-end games. Everything else I do on the computer was actually faster! OS X's integration of included software - email, web browser, Calender, iChat (text, audio and video messaging), the iLife Suite (iTunes, iMovie, iPhoto, Garageband and iDVD) and the aftermarket addition of Microsoft Office allow me to do everything much more efficiently. What Apple does better then any other manufacturer is integrate its OS to the hardware and give everyday users a built-in suite of software tools to manage all their core computing needs.

And one more quick aside; in my 2 years on the Mac platform, my machines have never been attacked by malicious spyware or viruses.

If you are looking for a combination of style, speed, usability and long term value, I would highly recommend the new iMac in either monitor configuration. One thing that is rarely mentioned about Macs is their resale value. You can feel comfortable that these machines will hold their value better then any other manufacturer out there. So when it comes time to upgrade in a few years your Mac will be worth half the price of a new model as opposed to 1/10th for a comparable PC.

Outstanding quality and design. I am very impressed with this Gator product in that it is exceptionally well made from the tooling of the O ring seal, latches to the profile. The attention to detail - for example, when you open the lid it has a park position which holds the lid from closing.

5 stars because the design is ingenious and the tea capacity is large enough for a good strong cup but not bulky. I was searching for a long time for a good & cheap tea ball infuser. I always disliked the snap-together mesh balls because the tea leaves get caught in between where the halves seal, creating a opening. And the screw-together tea balls are either flimsy and difficult, or very expensive. The friendly Swede infuser is a great design because you get the ease of filling without leaving a gap, and a very practical, unique design.

The only con I can see is that some of the infuser handles in the set are loosely fit together. The syringe-like metal is not always tight and causes the two halves of the ball to rattle slightly. I still gave it 5 stars because this has not been a problem yet. But time will tell if heavy usage and the loose fit will widen a gap in the tea ball end. If not, then 5 stars. If it does... then I assume the Friendly Swede's good customer service will replace any defective infusers.

While a little pricey (the materials for this holder probably cost 25c), this Micro SD / TF card holder is extremely well designed.  Cards stay put ... yet are easily accessed.  A depression on the back side allows you to add labels so you can ID each of the 10 cards this Micro SD card tote holds.  The big slot -- the SD slot -- is very useful for the SD reader.  I highly recommend, though I think the price should be more like $2-5.

This was worth the wait. (it was delayed a bit in manufacturing)  The design is just awesome, and even improved from the original concept on their website.  The case itself is a plastic shell that completely covers the back of the iphone 4 with a slightly rubberized exterior which I really really like.  (my old case was the same basic design, so that was a nice feature I was happy to keep). The tripod mount (THEY GIVE YOU TWO OF THEM!) is genius because it's detachable, so when you're not using it, there's just a modest bump in the corner of the case to accommodate it(see photos).  BUT it gets better - they also made room for a second place to attach the tripod mount (in case you want to mount it upright - for facetime, etc), which is cleverly hidden by just a slightly elongated bottom, very nicely done. Although - and this is my only complaint - on the upright mount, when it's installed, it's just a little bit loose.  It doesn't bother me since any time I need it to be a solid connection is when it's in landscape mode, and mine is nice and tight at that mount point.  But my guess is the tolerance in manufacturing is what is is, so just be prepared for that possibility.  (If it were the other was around, I'd have done an exchange to see if that solved it)
The tripod mount is easy to attach (although it's a lot easier if you attach it to the tripod hot plate first, since the mount itself is so tiny).  The fact that they give you TWO of the tripod mounts is just awesome, and a really great way to sell this unit.  The tripod mount is really small, so it's really easy to lose.  But with two of them, I can keep one permanently attached to the tripod, and the other one attached to the little mini-tripod it comes with, and not have to worry about what I did with that tiny piece of black plastic that's about the size of a pen cap.  (The mini tripod is ok, but it's a freebie, so no complaints here.  I have found it handy for sticking the phone into while I facetime, or watch a movie. again, a really nice bonus and a great way to package the unit at this price)

Overall, I can't say enough good things about this.  With all the other high priced tripod mounting solutions for iphone out there, no one else has a nice slim case integrated without having to have a tripod mount built into it, or having to have a whole separate tripod mountable case.  And the price can't be beat.

This is exceptionally well designed. I really appreciate the light-colored interior. No camera-, tool-, or gun-bag is ever large enough. It's somewhat difficult to rearrange the interior. This is a real bargain, better and cheaper than bags that are much more expensive.
