Was glad to get this targeted offer as a bonus for buying my new iPhone. It was just incentive I needed to convince me to buy a new phone.

Made for iPhone 8 Plus, these cases fit snugly without adding bulk. Crafted from specially tanned and finished European leather that's soft to the touch and develops a natural patina over time. A microfiber lining on the inside helps protect your iPhone. The metallic button covers match the finish of your iPhone. And you can keep it on all the time, even when you're charging wirelessly.

Great case but expensive

Verified Purchase:Yes
I give this case 4 stars just because I think it’s way overpriced. I had the case on my iPhone 6 and it lasted for 3 years without any noticeable wear so I figured I’d buy it for my new 7 Plus. Expensive but it’s well made and has faithfully protected my iPhone phone so it’s like an investment.

Bought the 7 Plus because I needed to upgrade my iPhone 6 and wanted 128GB storage. The phone is excellent and I’m really enjoying the dual lens camera and larger screen.

It’s Tax software

This tax software is okay. Used it last year and decided to stick with it this year cause it costs less than TurboTax. Personally I think TurboTax has a better user interface but it’s not worth paying extra $20 for it.

This movie is about how Arthur earns Excalibur and learns how to wield its power. Not a great movie but it’s got a lot of action and I found it entertaining.

I thought this was a fun movie that asks several questions about ethical boundaries of creating artificial life. Kate Mara is excellent as always. Solid performances by entire cast.

In this exciting penultimate film in The Divergent Series, Tris (Shailene Woodley) and Four (Theo James) lead a team of rebels in a daring escape over the city wall-into a strange new world where they face a threat more dangerous than they ever imagined. Together, Tris and Four wage a furious battle for survival, fighting not only for their factions and loved ones, but for the future of an entire city in this dynamic, action-packed adventure.

Ridley Scott returns to the universe he created, with ALIEN COVENANT, a new chapter in his groundbreaking ALIEN franchise. The crew of the colony ship Covenant, bound for a remote planet on the far side of the galaxy, discovers what they think is an uncharted paradise, but is actually a dark, dangerous world. When they uncover a threat beyond their imagination, they must attempt a harrowing escape.

This movie is a dark continuation of the Alien prequel. It’s a dark follow up to Prometheus. Good story, great acting and lots of action. Can’t say anything more without giving spoilers.

Terrible movie, not wort owning

Wait for this stinker to come out on Netflix if you really want to watch it. I read the novel and this movie doesn’t really follow Steven Kings novel nor does it create a different version that’s interesting. Just not good.

This mummy movie is a slightly different twist on the Mummy franchise. It’s entertaining but not all that good.

Are they servicing the drones, what about new batteries in the future, did go pro cancel the serviced on their drones

GoPro is still providing product support and extended service contracts. I’m sure they’ll be providing product support for Karma drone for foreseeable future since it’s also camera platform. I’ve had mine for couple of weeks and it’s best drone I’ve flown to date.

Apple TV 4K lets you watch movies and shows in amazing 4K HDR - and now it completes the picture with immersive sound from Dolby Atmos~. It streams your favorite sports, news, and TV channels live. Has great content from apps like Apple TV+, Disney+, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and ESPN~. And thanks to Siri, you can control it all with just your voice.
 

If I buy this now, will the Amazon Prime App automatically download after they add it, or will it only be available on Apple tv’s bought after they introduce the app?

You just need to download the free Amazon Prime app

Back up important data with this WD My Passport portable hard drive. It provides ample space for movies, photographs and music, and the compact design fits easily into a backpack or purse. This 3TB WD My Passport portable hard drive is preformatted for Mac, so it's easy to install and use.
 

How long is the USB cable that comes with it? Also, what connection is the USB port on the drive? I'm looking to use this with an XBOX One, and would like to mount it on the back panel of a game center similiar to the image to hide the wires.

This Insignia~ NS-PWS548U 4-outlet power hub features 3 USB ports, so you can easily charge your compatible cell phone, tablet, digital camera or other devices. The power hub plugs into your existing outlet for simple installation.
 

Why does this power hub have plastic pin on the bottom in the back? Since my wall power outlets have test/reset buttons and have different space between them than what this hub has, I am not able to use it!!

Your wall socket is a GFCI outlet which provides protection from electrocution. You cannot use a wall mount surge protector because it defeats the GFCI protection.
