I like the idea of the velvet
584982
Not particularly impressed.  Not wide enough to adequately support my field boots at the ankle, and are too short to use in a knee high boot. I like the idea of the velvet, but the spring popped out within the first use every time the handle was pulled.  Thus far it has stuck with Gorilla tape, but I needed them too badly to return them at the time.  Would not re-purchase, and will be going back to Ariats in the future.

I have been researching cases on line for awhile and liked the concept of this case very much. When I got it and loaded my Selmer Mark Vl in it, it fit very nicely. I loaded in the rest of the gear like my flute, Mic and 2 cords and a little music where the clarinet would fit.  I was impressed with the fit, but when I opened the case it would fall over backwards due to the weight of the items in the pockets on the lid. And it wasn't that much weight. The second thing I have noticed is the clearence of the wheels is very shallow. It rolls nicely on smoothe floors, but drags on carpets or uneven ground so much that you can't push it. It has to be pulled only. The third thing I have noticed is that it is heavy and blulky and uncomfortalbe against my leg as I carry it. That almost forces you to use the wheels all of the time. The fouth thing I have been noticing is the compartment on the inside of the case that would hold your reeds and extra items is not connected very well to the bottom of the case so thinner items tend to slide out under the compartment into the main body of the case with the horn itself. I have only taken the case to two playing jobs so far and hope to get used to some of these issues as I get more aquainted with the case. Like I said I love the concept of the case and it's features, however, I really think they need to go back to the drawing board on some of these areas and refine the case a little more.
Thanks for listening,
Darrell

I actually purchased this in a store. Same product. I rather like the idea. I have not heated it or cooled it yet so may edit for later.

The strap is elastic and fits fine. Although I wonder if there is a softer solution as it cuts into my ears. I taped the ends that hit my ears with first aid foam tape to soften.

Other than that, small things that can't be fixed, like it hitting the bridge of my nose and causing me to feel stuffy haha, it's a good product. I fixed the nose issue, thankfully to knowing how to sew, to better fit my nose.

It keeps out the light, has helped with my migraines. What usually took hours now takes a few minutes for me to fall asleep.

Overall, it's wonderful and affordable.

It gives a great idea about the concept of playing violin. It's rather helpful for self-learning to know what you may be going to learn.

I haven't actually tried this yet, and am hoping that once I get the braiding cord (also from Pepperell) and start working on it, the process will make more sense.  But there are clearly some parts of the instructions that could be made more clear.  Still, the designs are pretty cool, and there are so many color combinations to use, I think this will be a great way to renew my lawn chairs.

A Touch of Dance has a pretty good idea behind it. I found the story to be interesting, though the execution didn't play out well for me.

For the most part, the flash fiction length worked for me, but it also lead to me feeling that some parts were rushed through. The ending was one of the rushed sections, in my opinion. I feel that the rest of the story was leading up to and enjoyable conclusion, but then it was all wrapped up too fast, in too telling of a manner.

Despite being rushed, the authors of this story have a good basis for an expanded story if they were to revisit this. It might help me, and possibly other readers, to feel for the characters a bit more and to understand their motivations more than what's seen just at the surface level they is given.

I enjoy the feel, it could be a little bigger though. I also got black (without choice) its not that relaxing or uplifting of a color.

Really liked the wrap, however I was hoping for one with a more velvety texture as one I had previously.

And back to vampires I go, I was actually pretty excited about this book. It has a really cool premise. The idea of a psychologist who is catering to the vampires of the world is really a fun look at the vampire universe. I mean really when you think about it, what would you do if you were told there were vampires, you most likely wouldn't believe it, so it was fun looking at it through the eyes of someone who is trained to diagnose mental illnesses.

One of my biggest complaints with the book had to do with the continued references to Twilight. Actually the first alluding to Twilight was actually kind of amusing, because it had to do with Kismet (the psychologist) asking the "vampire wannabe" what vampires are like, and she asked if they are really sparkly. But the Twilight references go even more with blatantly referring to the book over and over again, and even refers to the movie, or rather the actors by name. It just kind of felt to much.

Another one of the issues I had with the book was the inner monologue of Kismet, the main character. I understood that she is a psychologist, and that she is trained to diagnose people who have mental illness, but she looks for it everywhere. In every single conversation she has with another person, she diagnoses them after like 3 lines of dialogue. Well maybe not diagnoses them, but goes over every possible diagnoses and then changes the prospective diagnosis based one how they reply to her. It just didn't feel right or organic. There was even this part where Kismet is pretty much attacked and her response to the attack was purely clinical, it really just felt wrong.

I guess the main thing that I did enjoy about the book was kind of how the entire thing almost worked like a perspective of how society has become so involved with vampires in a pop culture sense. Especially in the beginning of the book when Kismet is really looking at the phenomenon in a purely analytical way, which I enjoyed reading.

Overall, I think the book had a really unique way of being told/concept. But I don't think it was executed as well as it could have been. I kind of think when you include so many references to other books or pop culture it really kills the shelf life of a book. But on the plus side the writing was pretty okay, so if you want to try an unique take on the vampire phenomenon then this might be the book for you.

I enjoy the woodgrain look. Although I have to squeeze it a bit too get it to apply pressure to all six strings. It's useful but could probably have a little more pressure.

The vest has a pleasing style, hangs well, with generous arm openings.  As a couple of reviewers stated, the outside fabric is closer to linen and the inside fabric more like light weight, smooth cotton.  Though reversible, I doubt I'd wear the green side out merely because I like the linen side better.  As JunLee mentioned in her review, for some reason the lining (green side) protrudes on the inside edge of the lower front panel.  When laid flat they are the same size and stitched correctly.  It's mysterious.  Perhaps using the same weight and type of fabric (linen) for both sides would help prevent the "extending" of the lighter weight lining.  There are pockets inside and out, lined up with each other. I plan to throw a couple of stitches in the corners of the pockets (so it won't show) tacking the vest and lining together. I think that will help to keep everything lined up.
The vest is cute and fun...I'm happy I bought it.

This is a neat idea, the vinyl seems quality, and the image is no doubt of my happy place that I wish I was visiting everyday. I have this setup in my office at work, which despite being in a really amazing historic building, is pretty dark and gloomy. It helps to remind me that I've promised myself to visit paradise once a year (i was sent the Caribbean beach image free of charge form the manufacturer)......waiting for February.
I did think it was a bit odd that there were no instructions or tips for putting this on your wall, that's why i gave it 4 stars. Took me a couple of tries to get it straight and bubble-free. Luckily it peels away without leaving any residue and can be re-positioned easily.

This is a great product in concept, and it seems to be relatively well made (the bamboo part anyway), but I gave it four stars because I don't fully expect the colored plastic sheets to really last that long.  So far, I have used this thing an average of 3-4 times per week.  It has been a few months since I received it and already the vegetable sheet (the one I probably use the most) is marred, with deep cuts all over.  I will probably end up cutting through it before too long.  Perhaps I can find replacement sheets.  If so, I will happily continue to use it.

I love the idea of putting whatever I want in it do decorate it. And as a crafter I can change the look anytime I want. But the pink is drabbier in person than it looked online.

not a fan of the velvet material for the coat and pants, but its nicely made on the details. I wouldn't recommend it to those in very warm states (such as dessert regions that hit 75 degrees and up) as the velvet gets very, very hot within a few minutes.

I think I wanted to see a little more nrw or unique vegan items or methods.

It is a great idea at first glance. This is my suggestion: The base of the elastic ends should be tethered from right and left side, so that the Kindle can be placed in the middle, and the drawstring gathered at center..as it is now, the tethers are BEHIND the Kindle,making it tilt when you draw the string. OR, you could but 4 elastic corners,N W E S and have the Kindle corners slip under each, leaving a clear view to read. AS it is now, in order to get the Kindle to stop tilting, I have to put it INSIDE the circle of elastic, then draw the strings. This puts tension on the plastic lid at bottom which is fine. But it covers up the last sentence on the Kindle. This is my 3rd purchase for a Kindle prop. So far it seems the best, except for what I mentioned above. I may alter this so that I have 4 elastic corners intead of how it was manufactured.
