Overall, definitely worth its price

I like the reading plan and extra message in the beginning of each book. Not too heavy, which makes the paper so thin that print is visible from other side of the paper.

I was really impressed with this little guy. It feels solid & sturdy in your hand. iPhone is propped up at a nice angle. The monogram on the front is pretty atrocious, but not a deal breaker. And the mirror is also pretty useless, but another non-deal breaker. The cord opening isn't wide enough for the new Apple Lightning cable, so either you prop horizontal with a cable or vertical without. But, definitely worth the sale price of $9.

Mixed bag but good overall and well worth the price given the length etc.

Even though this radio is not perfect, and it has a couple of issues that I wish could be addressed, I can't in good conscience rate it any less than 5 stars when you take the price into account. The thing is solidly built, the TX and RX audio and volume are excellent and the battery life is borderline ridiculous even with the stock battery.

As far as downsides, there a few issues, only one that I could consider major
The squelch is far too open on this radio. There doesn't seem to be any difference between settings 1-9. You either get open all the time with setting 0, or some squelch with 1-9. Even then it's not nearly enough, and it will often open squelch to static that is not nearly strong enough to bother any of my other HT's on even a medium setting.

I think it's a little silly that you cannot program alphanumeric memory names without using the USB cable (not included) which is 30%+ of the price of the radio. The programming is NOT intuitive, but it's not that much worse than say the Yaesu menu systems. However, even with the cost of the cable this thing is an insane value.

Watch out for the "Alarm" setting. As the radio comes configured, if you accidentally trigger the alarm, it broadcasts an oscillating tone over the selected frequency, not just over the speaker. There is no way to fully disable the alarm, but you can change the setting to only play the siren on the speaker, not over the air.

I'm not going to sell my expensive Japanese HT anytime soon, but this thing is so cheap, and works just well enough that I'm willing to beat the heck out of it, and use it in ways and places I would never consider doing with my 400 dollar toy.

I love this case overall, it fits the look I want "dieselpunk" or "raygun gothic", but there are some minor issues like where it says "buttion" instead of "button", "ringger" instead of "ringer" & "autio" instead of "audio", but those are barely noticeable to a casual glance.

A larger issue with this model was the silver reflective surface and taking pictures with the flash reflecting back into the lens and I solved that by removing the cover and running a sharpie along the inside edge carefully.

And I see a lot of people saying their signal dropped with this case, have not had that problem at all but I try not to touch the exposed frame of the phone.

I got the 40GB 3rd Generation iPod for Christmas a few months after it came on the market.  I am an avid music fan, so I honestly do have in upwards of 40GB of music that I listen to on a regular basis.  The iPod was $500 dollars when I got it, which is extremely pricy in my opinion.  However, it did come with a dock, power adapter, and belt-clip holder.  I used this mainly at college when walking between classes, and it was great for that application.

PROS:

I don't care what some of these people are saying, this thing is durable.  I've dropped this thing many times, including drops from at least 4-5' up in the air onto concrete, and other than the aesthetics being diminished, the hard-drive has continued to work flawlessly.

The sound is great, I've hooked this up through an iTrip to the radio, with RCA jacks to my stereo, etc, and the sound is always surprising to people that don't realize its an iPod.

The user interface is EXTREMELY easy, which is one of the main reasons I got it.  I wanted something that I could navigate through on the fly extremely quickly.

CONS:

Ever since I got this thing certain songs will not transfer over 100% from my computer to the iPod.  It changes everytime I reformat the iPod, which leads me to believe there are just some bad sectors on the hard-drive (which is bound to happen over time).

The buttons being heat-sensitive are a pain (probably why they changed them for future generation iPods).  When its cold outside you have to try and warm the iPod before any buttons will work, which can sometimes be very inconvienent.  Also, they won't work if you're wearing gloves since not enough body heat will activate the buttons.

The metal and plastic are WAY to easily scratched.  I used the belt-buckle holder for at a year, and would just keep it in my back jeans pocket.  The holder did more scratching to the finish than the denim jeans did!

The headphone jack is pretty loose after all the usage it has gone though.  This is a big problem for most portable electronics, so I guess I can't fault apple for it too....but I will.

The battery is pretty crappy if you're looking to use this thing for more than a few hours, which is obviously why apple had that big lawsuit and offered to replace batteries if you could prove that yours was bad.  I didn't hear about the replacement plan till too late, but I typically have it out of the dock for only an hour of listening at a time.  The charge diminishes faster than it should if it isn't plugged into the dock on a regular basis.  After only 2 days or so, the battery is completely dead, even if you didn't use it.

Now that I'm working in the "real world", I use my iPod plugged in via the dock all day, so batteries really aren't an issue.

In the end, I think this is a great product that is giving me 3+ years of enjoyment.  If I could do it again, I would have waited for the 4th Generation iPods to come out, but who knows if I could have waited that long.

I figure this thing will keep working for years to come, and for every year it does, it makes that $500 price tag look less and less.  I have many friends with many different types of cheap mp3 players, and most of them are lucky if they last over a year.  Apple prides themselves on quality, and this is a quality product.

It is definitely worth its price, true maybe not top quality...but you are not paying as much.
It does not add much bulk to your phone.

I hesitated to buy this, despite all the glowing reviews here and elsewhere online, simply due to the cost. However, I was tired of the cheap junk you buy at all the local retailers, which always seem to die out after a year or two of use. Finally bit the bullet a while back and can confirm this is definitely a great unit. Only time will tell if it actually lasts longer than the other cheapo units, but it definitely offers a lot more in terms of functions/modes, so I'm hoping for the best. The only (minor) complaint I have is that the spring tabs that contact the battery seem a bit weaker than they should be, a couple of them bent beyond the length of the battery and I had to bend them back to make contact. I'm pretty gentle with my stuff, so I don't think it was mishandled. It's no problem to bend the tabs and I'm hoping that it's not a bad omen.

I'm really pleased to have come across this product. I wasn't looking to spend $30-40 on a heavy duty case, and the others in this price range ($15 at the time of my purchase,) either provide minuscule protection or have silly belt clips and stands that I won't use, and those didn't come with the screen protector.

So, about the case, I think other reviewers and the pictures cover it, (no pun intended,) pretty well. It's a substantial case but I've got no problems getting it in and out of my pockets. This may vary, but for me, the volume buttons are almost too easy to push, while the power/lock button is a bit difficult. It's really not a problem, they work just fine. The port covers will allow you to charge or play music without having to remove the case, but they can be slightly irritating when trying to insert the cords, since they sort of bounce back into place when not held open. They also seem like they'll probably start to open themselves up after some use because they don't snap into place or anything. It really makes no difference to me if I have to cut them off at some point.

The screen protector went on easily after a quick cleaning with the included cloth, and doesn't seem to affect the visuals or touchscreen at all.

Overall, in my opinion, a great deal; very minimal problems described above, and those are really nitpicking.

Edit: A couple of weeks in and I've already dropped the phone several times. Today alone, I dropped it twice onto a cement floor. Once, perfectly onto one of the corners and the phone didn't even stop playing music. You can tell just from the sound it makes when it hits the ground that the case provides a bit of cushion; like a squishy rubber ball hitting the ground.

It feels and looks amazing, making this keyboard WELL worth what they sell it for. The issues I do have are the lighting. There are some poorly lit buttons and the lock lights don't change colors with the keyboard (this is shown in their pictures, but doesn't make it any less of a dumb design choice). Aside from that, you get better than you pay for. The keys feel like high quality laptop keys (works for gaming and typing) if you want to compare it.

The pack has plenty of great features for this price point.  It is roomy, has a sturdy frame, and is quite comfortable.  It fits my small waist (28 waist, 32 hips) snugly and adjusts well.  The removable brain is great.

You can expand the top of the pack to fit several additional liters of stuff, but if you don't fill it up, you can compress it down with straps and the brain, so this pack can function as a much smaller pack, assuming you are ok with the little bit of extra weight it has compared to an actual smaller-volume pack.  That said, it's not heavy.

I did have a few issues with it.  First of all, the velcro holding the height adjustment is pretty weak.  Unless you leave it on the default (that is, so the velco aligns perfectly), it will slip.  The velcro is just not string enough or large enough to hold the weight of the full pack.  This limits the adjustability of it.  Fortunately, it fits me pretty will at the default height so it worked for me.  There is a chance I was doing it wrong, but I don't think so.  I'm 5' 8.5", 140 lbs, for reference.  I believe my torso height is about 17.

Some of the threading around the zipper for the sleeping bag compartment was frayed right from the start (that is, when I took it out of the box).  Overall the construction felt sturdy, but that was a little alarming, and we'll have to see how it holds up over time.  So far I've only taken this on one trip for about 25 miles.  That said, I didn't notice any additional wear during the trip.

Finally, the rain fly is in the brain instead of the bottom of the pack.  This makes it a little more of a pain to get full coverage, but more importantly, means that if you want to leave your pack outside the tent at night and use the rain fly (which, let's be honest, you do), you can't take the brain inside with you.  Not a gamebreaker, but just a little inconvenient.

Overall, this is a great pack that seems to way outperform its price point when you look at overall quality and features.  You should be careful buying it if you have trouble fitting a pack, and definitely test out the torso adjustment with a full load before you take it on the trail.  If it fits you, and there isn't any fraying, then anything else is just a minor inconvenience.

Definitely does it's job, but not THAT much better than cheaper alternatives.

Exactly what I needed, it isn't perfect but well worth the price!

Fits great, and relatively easy to install (under a minute). Great that its a more flexible plastic - assuming this means it will be less likely to crack if dropped.

I only have two complaints - 1) it is not completely clear, but instead a bit cloudy, so the color, and any design on your console gets washed out quite a bit. 2) it leaves a good amount of the device exposed, specifically corners and edges, meaning you will likely end up with scratches and dings in selective areas.

Overall, great price and quality with minor complaints.

I've had this case for a little over over a month now and I love it. Heck, I would have paid $20 for this case.

Pros:
+Holds 3 cards. One of mine is glad, the other two have indented numbers. It bulges out slightly, but it closes just fine.
+Protects my phone. Don't expect anything phenomenal, it's no Otterbox or Life Proof case. Probably doesn't protect as well as something like a Speck either. But I've dropped my phone a few times, no big deal. Probably won't hold up to a hard fall or screen down drop. It is cheap after all :p
+Thick enough to make it comfortable to hold, but doesn't increase the width of the phone very much, which is nice!

Cons:
-Card holder is a little too easy to open after a week. It doesn't open inadvertently easily though, Ive never had that happen, but if you're really concerned about this, this case is probably not for you.
- Every time I cut my fingernails, it's very hard to get the bottom two cards out. After about two days I can get them out no problem, but it's kind of annoying at times.

Overall I am quite happy with this mouse, though there are some things to be aware of prior to purchasing.  The positioning of the side buttons may or may not work for your hand size/grip style.  If at all possible, try to test one out in person before ordering.  This is not a small mouse by any stretch of the imagination.  For me personally, this is excellent, since I prefer a larger/heavier mouse, but if you prefer a more standard sized, or smaller mouse, this may not be the best option for you.

The software is easy to use, and seems to be fairly powerful for configuring your mouse.  I did have a problem with it not loading, and popping up an error message in Chinese that I was unable to read.  I had to resort to google image translation in order to decipher it.  This is a shortcoming to be certain.  Error dialogs definitely should respect the language of the machine it is installed on.

The color configuration is pretty unimpressive, particularly after being exposed to Razer's Chroma system.  Using the same RGB values, my three light areas do not truly match in color, and I have been unable to get a truly good match for my Orbweaver that has the perfect color I wanted.  The side and logo is pretty close, but the mouse wheel is significantly lighter in color (you can see this a little in the attached photo, how the mouse wheel is much brighter than the logo or side buttons, and results in a more washed out color).  It is also not exactly accurate to say this has a huge color range.  While you can program in 16.5 million different colors, you will not get that many.  I don't know if it's a result of the LEDs being used, or the controller for the LEDs, but I would say it's much closer to a few thousand colors if I had to toss out a completely arbitrary number based on anecdotal experience.  All in all, however, it is nice being able to find a color to match my computer's theme.

Finally, I have noticed that the right mouse button squeaks fairly regularly with the pre-installed switch.  I have not tried changing them out to see if this is the switch itself, or the button mechanism.  I have seen other reports of this as well, so it seems to be a manufacturing or design issue with the mouse.  Personally I find it fairly annoying when I am playing with the volume down, but mainly because my computer is VERY quiet.  I suspect if you have a machine that makes a more "normal" amount of noise, you may not even notice it.

(The other mice in the image are the Mad Catz M.M.O.7, which is no longer being made, an excellent mouse despite the mouse wheel being garbage, and the Tt e-Sports Ventus Z, an excellent mouse for the money.)

Now, I ordered this knowing what I was walking into, and had absolutely no delusions about the quality of what I would receive.

I wasn't disappointed. :)

First off, it's tiny.  Like pedometer tiny.  You can probably fit about 2.5-3 of them on a single credit card.  It comes with a set of headphones (cheap plastic buds), and three batteries, one pre-installed.  Now, this unit does amplify, but it's no "bionic ear".  It suffers from a couple of design flaws, that could probably be fixed with some hot glue.  The circuit board isn't "snug" in the case, so you'll get some rattle there.  On top of that, the microphone itself isn't snug in the casing as well, which is probably what was causing the "crackle" other reviewers have mentioned, again, Hot glue will probably fix it.

It does amplify though.  I had a single uncomfortable earbud in and turned the volume up, managed to get a feedback loop going.
