Discounted Gift Card - Yay!
on April 15, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
Usually, stores don't give you discounts against gift cards, but I guess Best Buy considers Microsoft Xbox gift cards an exception. The only downside with Microsoft Xbox gift cards is that you cannot use it for everything in the Microsoft store. I could only purchase Xbox One games, but not backward compatible Xbox games.

Great game....with beautiful graphics. Nice frame rates. Not the best Need for Speed, but don't have much choice for racing games in 4K.

Horrible game...don't buy!

Horrible game. It's not for children under 10. Would be better executed in split screen, than overhead view.

For $28, it's an awesome case. It's sturdy and stays on my phone compared to other soft cases. Fits very well with my Zagg Luxe case. Love the wood look.

Unrealistic story, but great sound and action
on August 13, 2017
Posted by: Techman
from Portland, OR
Verified Purchase:Yes
This movie is over-the-top to keep the audience engaged. When you watch Rock movies, you are not looking for realism or great acting, but action, suspense, and eye-candy. The Dolby Atmos surround sound is excellent.
Watch this for The Rock and Alexandra Daddario!

Simple, yet sleek design

It's still expensive for a rubber case, but it's the simplest and sleekest case I could find. I tried plastic cases and they crack too fast. Gets the job done!

Enjoy a breath of fresh air with this Insignia 4-inch mini fan. It has a quiet motor so that it doesn't disturb your working environment, and due to its small size and lunar rock finish, it's discreet. This Insignia 4-inch mini fan provides plenty of airflow despite its compact form factor.

Small, Cheap, but Noisy

Since it has metal blades and there is only one speed, it's a bit noisy. I have found later plastic fans, it's quieter and same price.

Enteraining with many cameos
on April 1, 2017
Posted by: Techman
from Portland, OR
Verified Purchase:Yes
Alot of action, explosions, and many action star cameos. Bad puns, jokes, and acting. Still entertaining to watch Stallone and Gibson duke it out. If you were a big 80's action movie fan, I would watch it. Excellent 4k video quality and Dobly Atmos quality.

This was an original movie. It was entertaining, engaging, and keeps you guessing who is behind these shenanigans. Wish Isla Fisher was in the sequel.

This versatile case offers hands-free viewing of your tablet in landscape or portrait positions with various angle options. Custom cutouts in this VersaVu Classic rotating case offer full access to your ports and buttons.
 

DOES THIS CASE HAVE 4 OPENINGS SINCE THE 9.7 HAS FOUR SPEAKERS?

This model is designed for the iPad Pro with 4 spots to deflect the sound to the front, rather than the side. Good design. Just bought this case for my iPad Pro 9.7".

SoundLink~ Mini Bluetooth~ speaker II delivers full sound with dramatically deeper lows than you'd expect from a speaker that fits in the palm of your hand. And because it's wireless and ultra-compact, it's easy to take Bose~ sound anywhere. With the built-in speakerphone you can take calls out loud with clear sound. And voice prompts make Bluetooth pairing easy. The SoundLink~ Mini II can play unplugged for hours and be charged from most USB power sources.
 

how large of a room can the speaker accommodate?

I would say a living room. 35' x 20' That's how big my basement is and it fills up fine. When I'm about 20 feet away, it's starts losing it's volume and clarity in a moderately noisy room. You would need to buy the next size Bose speaker if you want to fill up a larger room.

Flash card play

Can I play music from a flash card? Have an extended music collection in flash card sticks. They are in mp3 format
Not unless you have a mp3 compatible device that can read those flash cards. Buy an mp3 player such as an iPod.

There is no USB connection on this speaker. Only a 3.5mm audio jack or Bluetooth.

IPOD Classic

I have an IPOD Classic, will this speaker work with it? I can't find a blue tooth setting on the IPOD
While your iPod does not have Bluetooth, you can still connect your iPod with a 3.5mm audio cable.

Can I connect a usb drive directly and play mp3 files ?

You cannot connect a USB drive to this speaker. There is no internal software to play music files. You must have an external mp3 compatible device, like an smartphone, tablet, or computer.

Also, this speaker will only work with a 3.5mm audio jack or Bluetooth.

Can you use it with tv that is not bluetooth enabled?

You could, but it's not recommended. The footprint is too small to replace a soundbar or home theater sound system. If you had a small apartment or bedroom, you could pull it off. For a room the size of a living room or master bedroom, I would recommend a soundbar. It cost the same, but you will have larger volume, and range with a subwoofer.

The speaker has a 3.5mm jack.
