Excellent Eco-Friendly Case option
on December 26, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
Unboxing was straightforward. I do like that phone case was easy to install. Included was a QR code for a free 2nd case. Once removed I was able to insert my iPhone 16 Pro into left side then right in. The fit is snug but not too tight.
Use:
I think the feel of the case is smooth but not too smooth. Actually, it is the nicest to hold case I have ever had. I like the feel of the case in hand. The included QR code was easy to use and included a free second case. I uploaded a picture for a custom case. I found the website crashing easily when I was moving the picture around to just the right way. I ended up just ordering the case with the default layout of the picture I had. Still, it is nice that you get a completely free case. I do feel the camera protection is very good and the screen lip covers the phone screen just enough to be able to protect the screen from touching the surface.
The color is a black with yellow and white specks in the case. You can feel them but not in a way that makes the case feel off in your hand. This is a Magsafe case so there is a large magnet on the back. The magnets are just ok. I do not feel like they are as strong as others. Accessing the ports is easy with most of my chargers, however since the case is thick your usbc needs to be full size to fit. The Camera Control area is definitely a strong spot. It is smooth and easily accessible. I am a fan of it.
In all I feel like this case is excellent and very smooth to hold. It protects the phone and offers good protection from all areas. The added bonus is that it is eco-friendly which was surprising since I would have thought It would have a drawback but besides different color choices, I like this case a lot.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice Clear Case but really thick
on December 26, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
Unboxing was straightforward. I do like that the packaging is well made and you can see all the benefits clearly on the side Once removed I was able to insert my iPhone 16 Pro into left side then right in. The fit is snug but not too tight that I was unable to get the phone in.
Use:
I think the feel of the case is thicker than others and that is noticeable when holding in your hand. It does feel a little slippery since the material is more like a smooth rubbery texture. I do feel the camera protection is very good and the screen lip covers the phone screen just enough to allow the protector to not touch the table. Meaning if you set the phone face down only the edges of the case touch the surface not your phone screen.
The color is clear, and it seems nice. The phone is just the standard black so you cannot see much through the case that makes me want to show it off. I feel like this is better for maybe the Desert color or if Apple made other colors to show off. This is a Magsafe case so there is a large magnet on the back. The magnets are just ok. I do not feel like they are as strong as others. The included stand at the bottom is nice since it is out of the way when you’re not using it and when you are it is built well. I found it useful in portrait and landscape on a hard surface like my desk. When using it on the couch or bed it was just unstable and fell over. Accessing the ports is easy with most of my chargers, however since the case is thick your usbc needs to be full size to fit. The Camera Control area is definitely a week spot. It feels like there is a thin piece of case between the button and the screen. It feels sort of sharp when you hold the phone in your hand. I am not a fan of it.
In all I feel like this case is nice and clean. It protects the phone and offers a stand option. If you like the clear look then go for it. However, I prefer other models and wish this came in other colors.

Nice but expensive for the purpose
on December 26, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
Unboxing was straightforward. Included is the screen protector, alignment stickers, Wet/Dry cloth and, cleaning cloth.
I followed the instructions and cleaned and dried my screen. I then used the included sticker to remove as much dust as I could see. Installation was fine however I did end up having a small speck of dust that I could not remove without breaking the screen protector. The build seems nicer than others and I feel like the screen is just as clear with it on. Also, the protector does a good job with accuracy of the touch screen. I have found others to not be as consistent in that manner.
Use:
I think the protector does the job of protecting the screen. I like the fact that the screen seems very clear and the touch pass through is excellent. I do not like the small gap between the protector and my screen case. This builds up dust from my pockets after use.
In all I feel like this screen protector is nice and clean. It protects the front of the phone which is an area that I feel is a must since it has saved many iPhone screens for me over the years. I do feel that the price is very expensive for what you get and the fact that there is only 1 screen. I do like that Best Buy covers the warranty if you pay them to install. They will reinstall a new one for you if you ever have an issue at the store. Otherwise, they will still replace it, but you have to reinstall yourself.

Good Value phone that flips
on December 20, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
Unboxing was straightforward. I like the detail that was spent on the packaging. Included is the phone in a jewelry box. Also included was the battery, 3 covers, USBC cable, bead bracelet, stickers and jewels. It seems like a good amount of stuff for the price point.
I also like that the included charger does not have an option to not connect the cable or lose it. It is a 1-piece charger which is easier for a younger person to use. The setup was pretty simple. Adding the wireless network and installing a sim card was all that was needed. Ther is also a Micro SD slot for more storage.
Use:
I like the old school feel of the flip phone. It really simplifies the calling for younger kids since they can only call and text. I feel at this age is where most parents are hesitant to give out a phone. I like that this phone has everything besides the internet and app store functions of modern smart phones. It does actually have an app store but they are limited and since there is not a full keyboard the amount of things you can pull up is limited. However, I do worry when the app store has recommended slot games. I wonder as a parent if I want my kids playing Christmas Slots. I felt like the camera was fairly responsive and there is a flash and video option. The mirror on the cover seems nice but quickly filled with my fingerprints and lost its appeal. The call quality was good, and I found equal reception to my current smart phone. I was able to carry the phone all day without losing a charge. I was only calling and Texting. This included a physical battery which is pink. The only concern I had is when the phone has issues in 2024 how can I find parts since this is specific to this model.
In all I feel like this is a fun phone for a younger child from 8-12 that likes the pink Barbie color. The phone works and seems to be good value for the price. There is very little to manage as a parent other than installing a sim card.

Great Slim Case with Stand
on December 7, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
Unboxing was straightforward. However, I do like that you can slide the case out in the box without breaking the seal just to look at it before you purchase. Once removed I was able to insert my Iphone 16 Pro into left side then right in. The fit is snug but not too tight that I was unable to get the phone in.
Use:
I like the feel of the case however it seems like over time it might get a little slippery. It has a nice snug fit and while offering protection does not increase the size much. The color is like a smoke black so you can see the color of your phone underneath but not much. This is a Magsafe case so there is a large magnet on the back. In fact, this ring pulls out to make a stand both portrait and landscape. I like the concept however I do not prop up my phone often to watch content. The lip on the front of the screen is just enough to protect my screen when setting my phone face down on a table. I had no issue accessing the ports with several USBC chargers. The Camera Control area is nice in that you can access the button, but it does not feel like the little area between the button and screen is either sharp edged or in any way offering weaker protection there. This is a huge plus since not every case has done a good job with the button area. The camera cut out is a decent amount of protection and does not get in the way of the lenses.
In all I really like this case especially for the price point. I just wish the implementation of the ring stand would allow you to lock it in place when not using it and be able to turn it left or right. This would eliminate my 2 cons. I found the ring snapping back when removing it from my Magsafe charger. Also, when using the stand feature I wanted to turn the ring for more stand angles and this does not move. I still wish they offered more colors. Otherwise, you cannot go wrong with this case if you want a mix between a stand case and slim form factor.

Great Sound quality
on December 3, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
I've been using the B650-XT Wireless Headset for a few about a week now, and I must say, it's exceeded my expectations. First and foremost, the sound quality is superb. The audio is crisp and clear, whether I'm listening to music or attending meetings.
The wireless connection is seamless. I haven’t experienced any lag or dropouts, even while moving around the house. The range is excellent, allowing me to roam freely without losing connection.
Comfort is another standout feature. The ear cups are well-padded, and the headband is adjustable, ensuring a snug fit for long listening sessions.
The microphone quality is top-notch. During calls my voice comes through loud and clear, and background noise is minimized, thanks to the noise-canceling mic.
Battery life is impressive too. I can easily get through a full day of use on a single charge, and it charges quickly when needed.
Overall, the B650-XT is a solid wireless headset that delivers on sound, comfort, and performance. Whether you're gaming, working, or just listening to your favorite tunes, this headset is a fantastic choice. Highly recommended!

Affordable but still slow to multitask basic needs
on November 10, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
This laptop initially looks like it would not be much for the price. I unboxed it and pleasantly it is similar to laptops priced above this price class. Build materials are ok but not as cheap as you would think. I liked the number pad built into the touch pad. The Power adapter is just ok but wish they could have used USBC over the barrel connector but assuming cost was a factor. When powering on and setting up the initial out of box. It took over 2 hours to run the initial updates and setup prompts before I was at a working desktop. After using for basic productivity such as web browsing and word documents. It performs ok. Just as long as you’re using one thing at a time. I found the most delay when loading web pages especially if you had more than one tab open at a time. It was just painful to let the system freeze and wait for it to respond. Obviously, the low ram and SD storage is the limiting factor but for basic school use this works. I would spend more if I needed to do more multitasking. The battery life is decent. I was able to get 6-7 hours of basic web and word use. I would recommend if the use was limited otherwise, I personally would just spend a little more for something with at least 8gb of ram and a larger SSD since you cannot really save anything to this laptop. I know the use is more web based but sometimes you need to save stuff offline.
Pro’s:
• Affordable
• Number pad built into touch pad
• Ports: USBC, USBA and HDMI
• Good battery life
Con’s:
• Still slow with multitasking
• Number pad is inaccurate
• No backlit keyboard
• No upgrade options for ram/ssd
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Perfect for quick reheats and easy to clean.
on October 31, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
Unboxing was simple and straight forward. Just plugged it in and cleaned the cooking tray for first use.
Pros:
• Slim and low use of counter space
• Quiet when in use
• Ceramic coated interior and tray is easy to clean.
• Easy to use
• Easier than using microwave for quick reheats or small meals
• Cool touch handle is nice to open right after food is cooked.
Cons:
• Can only cook small portions
• Oatmeal color: This was not the best color since it was more of a cream vs the grey it appears in the picture. It did not match anything else in my kitchen.
• Slight hallow sound when closing the tray to cook.
Overall:
The Bella Pro is a nice and compact Air Fryer that was easy to use and cooked my food evenly. I used it to cook some turkey bacon and after 6 min it was crispy and warm. I also made a frozen breakfast sandwich, and it came out evenly warm and crunchy. The ceramic coated tray and inside where easy to clean. I did not have any issues with food sticking to it. Also the handle was cool to the touch when it was done cleaning so I did not have to wait for it to cool.
Final thoughts:
This is great for a smaller kitchen, apartment, dorm or office break room. I like the fact that it is easier to use than the traditional microwave. It was easy to clean Ceramic tray that was included. I do wish when you slide the cooking tray into the unit that there is an echo from the hollowness of the unit. It feels like there were some cost savings with the build quality, but this has not caused any issues with the performance.

Good value but no adjustment to headband.
on October 30, 2024
Posted by: KKCNIck
Unboxing was easy and straightforward. It included the headphones in a small USBC to USB A cable. I charged them just to make sure they were ready for use.

Setup was pretty straight forward. I powered them on and paired them through my phone. There were no additional prompts for an app to download or anything.

Use: They played music good and clear around the house. I found them to be really light and comfortable. When I took them to the gym, I found them to easily slide off my head even when just doing the weight machines. This is frustrating since that is one of the main scenarios I use over the ear headphones. I tried to tighten the headband, but they still slid easily.
The ANC was pretty good in ambient mode I can still hear my surroundings pretty good so if someone talks to me or I need to pay attention to someone I can. With the Noise Cancelling mode I found the sound blocked out the environment and I was able to focus on the music only.

I did try to take a few meetings with these to test the microphone quality. I was able to hear the caller and they were able to hear me. When my family was nearby the caller did not hear them but just me. That is a sign to me they are quality. I did also like the sound mode of Clear the best. I did not feel like Bass added any better sound to the music I listened to and Flat is not a profile I would use. Even during a voice dialog. I would use clear. I did not use the buttons on the headset since I find them hard to find when trying to answer or end a call, so I typically use my phone or computer. If I had to make a request it would be to see them give more control to the fit over your head and make the call control buttons easier to find when feeling them on the side of your head.

Best Iphone Yet
By KKCNIck from montgomery, il
It is a huge step up from the original IPhone. Each Year they get better and better. This year finally the most needed thing (larger Display). I only wish the 2 features in the plus were in this and it would have been perfect. Full 1080p display and the optical Image Stabilization. The Plus is nice but its practically a tablet and really should have been able to have those features in both. Otherwise very happy with the upgrade.

How do I pick a new laptop?

Well any laptop will do that. It is a matter of hard drive space. I would look at the Toshiba A305-6916 if you can find one because they are priced right and have great speakers for playback. Also has a 320gb hd which is pleanty of room.

Yeah I just saw one for $999 and it has p7450 processor and a 1gb nvidia gt260 card. It also comes with a free upgrade to windows 7 when released. I would find the G50vt that they are clearancing if you can because there is not much difference and you will save money.
