Good idea, poor implementation.

The idea is great, but it's not very well made. The number 2 phillips only fits in one slot and only facing out so it makes it impossible to use the opposing slotted blade. The magnet extends out too far on the shaft to allow the shaft to be completely straight. I hope to , one day, find something similar that's better constructed.

it took me about 6 hours of meddling before i could get the hub to connect with my wifi. after about a week, it dropped back off and i haven't even tried to get it working again, beyond a quick reset and 5 minutes of connection attempts. this was a great idea, but there's some definite problems with the execution.

the lamps (when they worked) would not adjust at the same time. one was always a couple seconds behind the other for on/off and intensity changes. the app was not very intuitive, and you couldn't group things in a way that seemed organic.

the one thing i will say is that the lamps themselves work just fine in switchable fixtures. that's actually how i've been using this setup for the last few months, as regular led lamps with no smart control. since i used a gift card for this purchase, i figured i'd just live with my lemons.

I got these as part of the $250 free diapers from amazon deal, we hoped they would be sufficient but after 3 stools today & 2 of them leaking all over the place I can say they aren't what we hoped. Good idea, poor implementation. I would not recommend these, even if they are free (I don't know what to do with $250 worth of them now).

This should have been a wonderful device. Highly customizable, and usable as a main interface, as well. As a piece of hardware, it's brilliant. But it suffers from the worst configuration and software compatibility issues I've ever seen in a controller. Right off the bat, there are no instructions or information about the default setup. Just a pictorial guide to plug it in, turn it on, and experience magic.

There was, sadly, no magic. After fumbling around and finally figuring out that the right trigger was how you click, and that most buttons did nothing, I made it to the configuration screen in Steam itself. I spent a good 30 mins trying to customize one of the many interface schemes, but it simply would not save anything. It either lost it the moment I closed, or sat for several minutes "working" until I had to force close the program. Tried to use it with a few different games, only to find that either they weren't compatible, or that the default configuration was horrible, and again, could not be changed. All of this may be because I have a Mac, which is the red-headed step-child of Steam's platforms. But after fighting with it for the better part of a day, I've gone back to a wireless keyboard and mouse. If I could've set this up outside of Valve's buggy program, I'd be keeping it, but tied as it is to flawed software, it serves no purpose, and is being returned.

This is such a good idea it hurts, but the execution is dissapointing.
Set up was a breeze and the web site is friendly and intuitive.  The problem is that the 12-bit color and passive matrix display produces images  of poor quality.  There is noticiable dithering and color aliasing, and  photos are hard to see from the side.
I'm sure a year from now they will  come out with a model aith 16-bit color and an active matrix screen.  And  it will probably cost 1/3 as much.
I suspect my parents will still like  this, but it's not as gfood as it could be.

This product is a nice idea but the implementation lacks finesse.  Also - the size / amount of liquid makes the effort to create and clean this tool essentially a waste of time.

Good idea. Bad execution. Hard to get into/on the bottle and the curve of the bottle has to be "just so" for it to stay.

I thought this looked like a great idea. I normally use my armband running case when riding my bike, and the ability to have something on my handlebar (this can be attached to either a crossbar or stem) that I could easily access and see while riding SEEMED like a great idea. Unfortunately, the execution leaves lots to be desired.

Basically, this is a universal iPhone case, meaning my iPhone 4S didn't fit that great. It was very tight on the sides, and even with the iPhone 4 bottom attached it still didn't fit clearly within the window, meaning the home button was very hard to access.

There are also a lot of fiddly parts on this case and all feel really cheap, fragile and not long destined for easy use, especially on an outdoor product.

I had trouble getting the case to stay seated on the crossbar; i.e. still without slipping around and had to remove my iPhone's regular case to get it in. And then inserting the iPhone into the bike case, was a major pain. It was difficult to get in and even more difficult to get closed securely. I never did get it lined up so that I could access the home button and I dropped it several times. (Luckily, my case-less phone didn't shatter.)

Actually using the phone within  the case is a frustrating experience. While none of these sport cases that use clear plastic for the front are all that great, this one seems especially bad at transferring commands to the touchscreen and I could also feel the screen moving under my finger (bending, rolling). Everything took way too long to be safely operating while riding and, it seemed, more often than not the wrong command was registered in the wrong place.

Basically, this has too many parts, seems way too breakable and, while trying to work for all iPhones, fails to fit any of them very well. I'd have to say it's a big pass, especially at this price point.

The dispenser works like it should, but is difficult to program. The buttons are too small. Most of the people who actually use this dispenser are probably elderly. The programming buttons should be a LOT bigger to be seen. Also the directions are difficult to understand as well as difficult to implement. This should be redesigned with elderly people in mind. Bigger buttons, easier programming, clearer instructions, and more alarm choices would improve this thing. It's a good idea with poor implementation.

On paper, a good idea.  But the device falls far short.  The controls are tiny and confusing (e.g., you use the same button to increase the volume as you to to skip a song track).  If your fingers are wet, the controls are unusable.  You need a magnifying glass to even see which controls are which.  There is a "reset" button with no evident purpose.  Some functions (e.g., "shuffle") require the swimmer to somehow locate and simultaneously press multiple buttons to activate the featur clips for attaching the speakers to goggle straps are clumsy and hard to use.  There is a hopelessly self-contradictory system of flashing lights to tell you whether the device is turning itself on or turning itself off.  Your iTune music has to be reformatted to MP3 before it can be downloaded, and that's no simple task, either.  It's not possible to even determine whether the thing is working unless you dunk your head in the water.  The device is wildly non-intuitive.  Why can't Apple make this?  It could have been so much better.

Looks good in the picture.  Lots of possibilities for consolidating my billfold and telephone.  Not in practice.  The pockets are too small for even one card.  And once the card is forced into the pocket, the flap will no longer close.  No built-in expansion.  Good concept, but poorly executed.  Perhaps a competitor has the same idea but better designed.  I'll go have another look.  I bought 2 models, one for my wife as well.  Hers has a double flap which only compounds the flaw.  She cut off the second flap to make room for a single card, which is all that would fit.

While this is a great idea, implementation leaves a lot to be desired.

As a reference, I have an iPhone 4 and also use a Jawbone Icon earpiece primarily for voice conversations - this combination is fantastic!

I really liked the idear of the Clipper - durable, Bluetooth connectivity to listen to music from my iPhone with my existing earbuds and wired-speaker ski helmet.

Two big problems with the Clipper:
1. Bluetooth connectivity is EXTREMELY weak.  The only way the Clipper and my iPhone will stay connected is when they are within direct sight of one another and not more than 4-5 feet apart.  Anything in between the Clipper and the iPhone will cause the Bluetooth connection to drop.  This is probably what is causing the music to "skip".  Unfortunately, the basic idea of having my phone in my back pocket and the Clipper attached to my shirt in the front is not possible.

2. No support for iPhone Voice Control (voice dialing).

I'll be sending this one back and looking for a better idea...

Doesn't always work properly. Good idea but needs improvement.

This is a good idea but very poorly executed as a design.

The first problem is that center screw (of 3 shown vertically) is in the wrong place.  Unlike a pocket knife which it looks to emulate, the keys have to rotate out from the side opposite the thumb notch, that is to say on the sidenearest to the clip.  If you try to fit them in the other side the screw there keeps the keys from folding inside.

The second are all the spacer hardware.  The metal washers are too small for many keys and will distort, bend, and catch inside your keys.  The rubber grommets are also too soft and stretch around each other if you try to screw it too tight, and inside the keys if you put them directly against them.  There's also a lot of friction between the rubber grommets which makes the keys rotate together instead of individually.  I overcame this problem with a few #8 Nylon washers from my local big box for 50c, but its annoying to have to modify a product after market to make it useful.

2 Stars for a nifty idea that can be made into a workable product, but only 2 stars because it isn't useful out of the box.

Good idea - poor implementation. Magnets are not near strong enough - if you go over a bump or around a sharp turn, there goes the bumper cap and your stinky slinky.

The idea is good but the implementation is not.  Tough to bend the little spokes and they like to swing around and soak you while you are adjusting them.  Forget about adjusting before you turn it on too.

Good concept, but -- at this point -- way too buggy and frustrating to use.
