Easily a 5-star product if the cons don't apply to you

This is an excellent case, simply because:

-The small added weight and size is more than far for the style and protection you get.
-The style has a smooth, simple, slim, modern design.

All possible Cons, including minor ones:

-AUX import cut-out can only fit straight AUX audio jacks. (Corner or 90-degree AUX audio jacks are out of the question.)
-Same goes for power charge cut-out. It is small, and it won't take fancy adapters or anything, just the Apple charging cable.
-Back will rotate in a circle if you spin it on a table. (Only meaning the plastic-colored back is very smooth, thats all. This is only if you intentionally spin your phone.)
-Sleep/Vibrate switch is a little deep. (But if you have at least a little bit of nail, not really an issue.)

P.S. The smooth white looks very cool on the black iPhone 5, amazing.

Let it be said that I do truly enjoy this product. The sound quality is far superior than I'd expect, especially given its pricing. I'm an active woman  and sweat wayyyy more than I'd like to admit, haha  and this product works great when it comes to sweat-resistant activity (i.e. intensive hikes/runs, etc.)

The only caveats I've experienced are: A.) The magnetic pieces often attract to the opposite earbud holsters, so it's kind of annoying to unwrangle them from the wrong earbud slot; B.) The plastic clasps meant to hold the wires in place are super unsturdy, and as such, I've quite easily lost the partner clasp to this fella (see picture below); C.) Being so delicate, these headphones are hard to store, in terms of mobility. Id be more apt to have the option of a carry-on pouch or something along those lines, so it doesn't get damaged when I throw it into my purse (and get mushed alongside my perfume, books, wallet, etc.)

These are all small critiques. The product itself in terms of sound quality is dope af.

As far as sound quality and comfort this product is pretty great. Once the transmitter is connected to your TV you tune the headphones like an FM radio until you get a clear signal and then you're done for good. The shape, padding, and pressure is just right so you can spend a long time wearing these without a problem. In fact, based on these fundamental features the product deserves five stars. Unfortunately, one totally unnecessary feature spoils the whole product for me.

The transmitter turns on an off automatically based on whether or not it receives an audio signal from your TV. After you turn off your TV, the transmitter will wait a short amount of time--probably about a minute or so--and then turn off to conserve power until the TV turns on again. In concept this is a great idea. However, when the transmitter turns off, the headphones no longer have a signal to tune into and so instead they sound loud static noise (in electronics this is known as squelching). So imagine yourself watching TV in a quiet house when you decide to pause your DVR for a moment. Perhaps someone entered the room and you want to have a quick chat with them without taking off the headphones, or you want to concentrate on a magazine in front of you for just a few minutes. BAM! All of a sudden you get LOUD static in your ears; MUCH louder than the sound you were listening to before. That is, you can listen to the TV at a low volume and the static that follows will still be deafening!

I can't tell you how many times I've been bitten by this foolishly designed "feature". This is truly a shame because as I mentioned above, the fundamentals are there. So if you're willing to commit to remembering to take off or turn off your headphones immediately after pausing or turning off the TV, you'll like these. Personally, I'd rather not add another thing to worry about when I'm relaxing at the end of the day.

This is a great product. I would give it 4.5 stars. It took literally five seconds to set up. My only two issues with it are:
1. When you use it as a kickstand, the part of the case that rests on whatever surface you place it on is made of this felt type material. I was using it in the kitchen while cooking a recipe that I was reading on my Kindle, and I guess I had a tiny bit of olive oil on my counter, and the fabric on the case soaked it right up. So now I have this noticeable oil stain on the inside of my Kindle case.
2. The kickstand itself can be tricky. You tuck the edge of the case into a flap on the back of the case. If you don't secure it well enough, it will collapse. I've had it fall off of my table a couple of times. Luckily the case is pretty cushiony, so I didn't have any damage to my kindle.

Overall, for the price and the color (I got the purple), I love it and would not hesitate to buy another and I definitely recommend it.

Great product, but it needs some instructions with it.  I'm not going to deduct a star because some of the issues are not obvious, because once you know how to use it, it's a great little reusable strip!

This review will make this into a 5-star product.  Here are some helpful tips.

1.  There is a smooth side and a ridged side.  When you insert the tapered end into the clip end, make sure the ridges are at the BOTTOM of the clip.  In other words, the ridged side must be on the inside of the circle or curve.
2.  If you connect 2 together to make a longer tie, not only do the ridges of the 2nd tie go down against the bottom of the clip, you must insert the 2nd tie into the flat side of the clip--the same side as the ridged side of the strip.
3.  When you release the tie by pinching the clip, do not put up against the opening of the clip, but down towards the bottom of the clip.  This one is completely counter-intuitive.

With these tips, you will have a very excellent product.  If you don't follow these instructions, the tie will not work properly.

Great product.  Would be five stars if the installation hardware was not such garbage.

Save yourself a lot of time and frustration and go out and buy a handful of 1 1/4 inch square drive decking screws.
The stock screws are soft, so they strip out.  The tip is dull so it is difficult to get the started, and the screw head is poorly formed so they don't stay on the screw driver well.

However, other than that, the product is excellent.  Its very clever in that it does not depend on you fitting it to the exact width of the cabinet.  I installed some other brands and I had to ship the side mounts to exactly fit the width of the cabinet.  It was tedious and precise work, not a typical DIY project.  Rev-a-Shelf does some very clever engineering to eliminate that.

If the box is large enough to contain the unit, then it will work.

Once mounted, the glides are full extension and very smooth.  If the glides are not smooth then you didn't install it "square" and something is binding.  One trick is that once you have the face frame screw in and the unit is all trued up, install the rear screw on the opposite side of the face frame screw.  So my face frame screw was on the left, hinges on the right.  I put a screw in the right rear bottom mount.  That triangulates the frame and locates everything with only one screw.  Then I tested both drawers.  It was good, so I installed the rest of the screws.  Had it not been right, I'd have only had to play with one screw.

Overall great product.  Works as advertised, easy EASY installation.

5 Star for effectiveness and construction...4 Star for affordability.

Extremely well-built, made of a solid block of aluminum much like the Macbook Pro.

Mounting the Apple keyboard and Magic Trackpad is a simple drop-in affair, with adhesives. This is something that could have passed off as an Apple accessory, it's made that well, but with a couple of caveats.

There are two issues I have with it:

One, there isn't enough mounting surface to use the Magic Trackpad comfortably. The Trackpad has two "legs" on the bottom corners which need to be pressed down to click. The bottom mounting portion of the BulletTrain eXpress doesn't extend far enough, so the two "legs" are only partially contacted on the eXpress' mounting points. As a result, the Trackpad doesn't click very firmly and the feedback isn't the same as when you use it on a desk without the eXpress. If the bottom mounting point for the Trackpad were extended even slightly, the Trackpad "legs" would be sitting completely on a hard surface and this issue would be averted.

Two, the positioning of the Trackpad relative to the Wireless Keyboard is too close together. If you type with your palms on the surface of the eXpress, the inside of your palms will come into contact with the top edges of the Trackpad inadvertently, resulting in the cursor moving around at times when you're typing. It doesn't happen that often, but it happens enough to be an annoyance. If there was more spacing between the two devices, this problem could be averted.

These issues aside, using the BulletTrain eXpress is a delight - its light enough to use on your lap, which results in a laptop-like experience while you kick back on your couch/chair. If you have both the Wireless Keyboard and the Magic Trackpad and hate being tethered to your desk, this is a great little unit.

If the above 2 issues are resolved, I'd give it 5 stars.

Really great product; lives up to all the great reviews.

Pro: Very attractive design, and very sturdy: will not tip over easily.  Very quiet cooling.  Versatile, quad interface (I use the FW 800, which is the fastest of the choices), and they include the cables for each (which is very sensible and economical, and saves one from falling into the over-priced cable trap).  This unit is extremely easy to set up.  WD has evidently given attention to the Mac segment of the market by having specific Mac directions (as well as those for MS), and by providing the FireWire capability (more common on Macs).  The included software is simple.  I have mine configured HFS with RAID1, because I needed a reliable, secure way of backing up my valuable files, including photographs, films, and family records.

The power-supply is sturdy and less obtrusive than some others, and has a high rating which will avoid power problems.  Even the packing in the carton is carefully designed.

Con: I really don't need the throbbing light on the front, but I am getting used to it, so I guess that I will grudgingly admit that it is somewhat cool, although the greatest coolness should not give any evidence of aspiring too much.  It's OK, and it does convey some rough information about status of the drives.  One would rather have a visual than an audible signal!  I also noticed that there does not seem to be anything in the manual or the WD website telling how one determines the firmware version, although they do provide on the website the ability to update firmware, with Mac or MS PC.  I really don't have any negative views of this model!

UPDATE:  We now have five of these units in our home, and all are working perfectly on a variety of Macs.  This is one of my favorite high-tech products.  I have tremendous respect for a good piece of work, and this is the Porsche of hard drives.

On the plus side, these are great, smooth protectors that don't get in the way of bezel actions and are exceptionally smooth to the touch.  The value for the money is also spot-on.  As for the negatives, the whole application system is WAY over-engineered with some of the most poorly-written instructions I've come across in a very long time.  With a minimal clue, anyone can put these on with ease, simply by following sticker numbers 1 and 2 (remove the backing, position and apply, remove the face coating -- it's that simple).

"Sturdy and becomes a great gift item with multiple uses, well packaged and does what it is supposed to. Worth every penny and I am sure this will last long.

I received this product at a discount or for no charge in exchange of my candid and unbiased review. The discount has not influenced my judgement of this product.

Understanding my ratings:
1 Star = Strongly discourage getting the product. There are absolutely no positive or helpful aspects in the product.
2 Stars = Overall not recommended. Have some positive aspects but not good enough to be recommended.
3 Stars = Workable product. It's not terrible, but not fantastic either.
4 Stars = Fantastic! I love it, but there are a few things that could improve.
5 Stars = Strongly recommended product. Hardly any flaws to the product and it's functions.
*If my opinion on this product changes while in use, I will update my review to reflect such changes.

Thanks & Regards"

This could end up being a 5-star product IF I can get some of the idiosyncrasies ironed out.

First off: it installed and fired up beautifully, no problems at all. The wires are all ISO color-coded, and I made no mistakes connecting everything (Huzzah!). All of the applications worked right first time - - radio, GPS, Bluetooth hands-free, etc. Oh and BTW, the GPS is amazing at signal acquisition. I'm used to Garmin taking a while to get a position, especially after sitting un-powered for some days. But this unit found satellites and got a position after only a minute or so, even after being shipped across 10 time zones!! And it picks up a good GPS constellation even under my carport.

My current complaints are few and minor: the audio has a hiss in it, and I see that Pumpkin has a power filter (free) to solve this issue. The GPS does not seem to have a "north up" setting, which I much prefer over "track up". Also, the existing GPS software has map colors that are very poorly chosen. It's almost impossible to see secondary roads, and I may have to change that software before all is said and done.

The physical unit is fairly large, around 4" vertical dimension, and it was a very snug squeeze in my Ford Ranger console -- but it worked.

The Android system is fairly conventional, but with all the apps and configurations, it's sometimes puzzling as to where to find a particular setting. Time will iron this out. Nice to have "home" buttons both on the touch screen and the push-buttons.

I'm overall quite pleased, ESPECIALLY for the price. I expect to have a lot of fun with this.

UPDATE 2017 March
After almost two years of almost constant "fixing", I'm about to give up. Support has been great, very responsive -- but there's a lot they just can't do. As of today:
-Bluetooth hands-free won't auto-connect
-Hands-free audio is garbled and unintelligible to my callers
-Sound system has background hiss
-Google Play has quit entirely, will not allow login -- no download of apps or updates is possible
-Some apps cannot recognize external SD
-Some apps can't work with GPS
-Some apps simply won't activate after loading
All I'm trying to do is use hands-free calling, GPS mapping apps, and play music. As of right now, it won't do any of those properly or at all. I have another unit that I bought after my initial liking this one, and it's just as bad.

So sad, it had such promise. The only time it ever worked right was in the first few months. After Android and Google changed their software, this poor product never caught up with them again.

I like this product a lot.  Provides outstanding rejection of spurious sounds and noises.  A warning on this, though.  If you have imperfect equipment or source material, this device is so good it will reveal every flaw.  When I listen to certain tracks from my cell phone, I hear the noise floor, where I didn't with other headphones.  Not an issue for rock and roll, but this would be pretty distracting for classical or other music with softer passages.  But I love using it for talking on my phone due to its ability to eliminate distracting ambient sounds.  The only other slight complaint I will point out is that the headphones come with various sizes of ear cups, but they are tough to get seated onto the speaker sometimes.  All in all, though, its a great product, and I'm happy with the purchase.

UPDATE:  This product only lasted about nine months for me.  And I wouldn't say I abused it at all.  It has a small switch/mic module inline with the right earpiece that is a two-piece compression switch design adding the mute function.  Problem I had is the top kept popping off until I finally lost it completely.  Then shortly after that, the right earpiece stopped working at all.  Only a 90-day warranty, so I'm out of luck.  I may well end up buying another one of these, but I'm probably going to look around a bit to see what else is out there.

Pluses: Exactly as advertised.  Sturdy, and well-made, nothing feels chintzy or cheap like it will break if you twist it too far, or tighten it too much.  Minuses: Universal speed ring is on the small side and will only fit on your smaller lights comfortably.  Inner baffle attaches not with velcro as you'd expect, but with tiny, frustrating little metal clips which are more than a pain to get on and off. Thankfully, the outer cover does attach with velcro and is easy to take on and off.  As a final minus, there is no built in way to attach a grid to these softboxes, so unless you're prepared to do some hacking, they will always provide a somewhat omnidirectional light.

Overall, I'm very happy with these speakers. The sound quality is perfect for my needs, and the trimless design really looks well when installed. At the price, I would highly recommend them and would certainly buy again if the need arises. However, please read on.

I've docked 1 star for the following reason, and am only posting this review to help others who decide to purchase - it's VERY easy to over screw the mounting brackets, resulting in the screw pushing through the speaker housing and effectively loosing its grip on the speaker.

This happened to me when installing one of the speakers. To resolve the issue, I simply used a washer on each screw to prevent them from pushing through the speaker housing - and it worked perfectly. In future, I'll add a washer to each screw prior to installation just to be sure it doesn't happen.

By all means - buy them, but have a few washers on hand just in case.

OVERALL., GREAT PRODUCT!  but please read the following before you decide to purchase:

I did have one small issue with this unit, and I'll mention it here so you can be aware of it...

The issue is that there is a small "jumper" that electrically-connects the metallic body to one of the pins of the pick-up coils, and in my case, having a DIFFERENTIAL pre-amplifier, this made the body "electrically hot" and it became a 'hum' collector!  There were no specific instructions or mention of this jumper in any accompanying documentation, however, with a little patience and care, I was able to remove the jumper by "pulling it straight out" without damaging the unit or the jumper itself.

My turntable is connected to a "balanced" or DIFFERENTIAL pre-amplifier, and, in this case,  the jumper "grounded" one of the pins which "unbalanced" the differential pre-amplifier. This little jumper is necessary for STANDARD hookups (RCA type connections) and you should have NO issues. as long as you're NOT using a differential pre-amplifier.  If you don't know what a differential pre-amplifier is, chances are, then, that you are NOT using one and you should have NO issues using this great product.  If you need to remove the little jumper, I have provided instructions on how to to so; please read the instructions thoroughly, before you actually begin the procedure.

TOOLS NEEDED:
Small 'needle-nose' pliers or good tweezers
"jeweler's" precision screwdriver set or eyeglasses screwdriver
a magnifying glass (if you need one)

PROCEDURE:
First off, if you have already installed the cartridge onto the headshell (end of the tonearm where the cartridge is located), you will need to disconnect the leads (be CAREFUL- they are EXTREMELY FRAGILE!) and remove the cartridge from the headshell. As a safety precaution (for the stylus, that is), please remove the stylus (needle) from the cartridge by gently pulling its retainer housing straight out from the body of the cartridge and put it in a safe place.

To remove the jumper, turn the cartridge so that the rear pins face you- you should see 4 pins with little colored rings and a small flat "jumper" from one of the pins..  Start out by carefully sliding off the little plastic colored ring on the pin where the jumper is located- be careful! it will not require any excessive pressure- do NOT bend or pull on the PIN itself..  Once you have the little plastic ring off, put it on the side- you will be putting it back on later...  now under the plastic ring, you'll see the jumper "wrapping around" the pin and then skirting-off onto the side of the unit's metal body.  Now with using a small flat instrument (a nice precision or "jewelers" or eyeglasses screwdriver will do very nicely), simply and GENTLY pry under the jumper and lift it away from the body; you should see it "slide out" towards you and disconnect itself from the body as it rides up the pin.. it has a little tab that is inserted into the seam alongside the body.. and this tab will slide out.. BE EXTREMELY GENTLE and, when the pin is free, SAVE it in the product's box in case you need it again later, as it can be easily placed back on. Once that is done, be sure to put the little colored plastic ring back on the pin..  you're now good to go!  you may now (re)attach the cartridge back onto the headshell and connect the leads (also, don't forget to put the stylus back on too! (hehe)

This a very GOOD product; the thing sounds GREAT; it has lots of drive and a nice stable frequency curve. I believe you will be VERY HAPPY with this product.
