Pretty good protection.

This unit has a faux-leather look, with room to hold two games (plus a third in your 3DS itself), and the two included stylii. Honestly, this case is too big for the 3DS-XL, so I wish that it were a bit smaller. I am not sure what the extra space was intended for. Having easy access to a longer stylus is nice.
I am also unsure about the concept of a "peel and stick" cleaning cloth. Where are you supposed to stick it? If you stick it to something, how are you supposed to clean the screen with it? I just stuck this part in a drawer.
Still, it is nice having a place to put my 3DS that will keep it relatively safe from scratches and stuff. Note that there is little padding on this case, so don't drop it.

Great protection

For the price, it offers great protection. I would have rather had a more sedate design, but this was the one on the shelf. My unit already has several scratches on the bottom, which is great! I would rather have scratches on this case than on my 3DS itself, so the unit does its job. If you are OK with the color and pattern, just get it.
I only wish that a version were offered to fit the smaller non-XL 3DS for my son's unit.

Four Home Alone movies in one four-DVD set. In the original Home Alone that started it all, Kevin McAllister (Macauley Culkin) must protect his home from burglars (Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern) after being accidentally left home for the holidays. In Home Alone 2, Kevin (Culkin) is cornered by the same thieves while on a trip to New York. In Home Alone 3, nine-year-old Alex (Alex D. Linz) must protect a microchip in his toy car from a band of thieves. And in Home Alone: Taking Back the House, Kevin (Mike Weinberg) must choose which of his divorced parents get him for the holidays, but no matter where he goes the same thieves follow.

2 Great movies, poor DVD format.
on January 3, 2017
Posted by: harrkev
Verified Purchase:Yes
First of all, the first two movies are GREAT. The third movie is OK, and the fourth movie is mediocre. However, you probably already know what "Home Alone" is and what to expect.
The bad news is that these DVDs seem to be left over from 2000. They are wide-screen, but are actually stored as a 4:3 with black bars on the top and bottom! Seriously? You can still buy something like this in 2016?
So, if you are using an old-fashioned CRT, you will love this. If you have any modern wide-screen display, you will see black bars on the top, bottom, and both sides (greatly lowering the effective resolution). You will have to use the "zoom" feature of your DVD player to get this thing full-screen.
Still, this might be worth it if you can get the set at a reduced price. However, I would recommend just passing on this set, and buy the first two movies separately for about the same price. Missing movies 3 and 4 is not a big deal.

Screen keeps blacking out
on September 2, 2016
Posted by: harrkev
Verified Purchase:Yes
This thing is HORRIBLE. The screen keeps going black (but the back light is still on). I can tell that this appears to be a software issue since sometimes when the screen reappears, it looks for a fraction of a second to be what was on my screen several seconds BEFORE it went black. Yes, I am running the very latest system firmware, and yes, I have tried resetting the system to factory defaults several times. I have a minimal amount of software loaded on this tablet, and these are applications that I have used for several years on many other systems and never had any problem like this. I have been an Android user for years, and I actually help design computer chips for a living, so this is not a "stupid user error."

Wow, this thing is fast!

Verified Purchase:Yes
What else can I say, except that this thing is FAST! Using H2testw, this card achieves 49.3 Mbyte/s on write, and 69.1 Mbytes/s on read. I cannot speak to the longevity, as I have not had it that long. I doubt that this model includes fancy extras such as wear-leveling. However, if you want raw speed at a good price, this will do the job quite nicely!

I wanted something without a microphone to use with my laptop. The sound is fairly good, but not amazing. Still, not bad for the price. It also comes with three sets of ear inserts of various sizes, so I got it to fit well.

This power adapter is great! First, it is tiny, and yet still seems to have pretty good thermals. It also can use either the included cord to attach to a wall, or the included right-angle adapter that lets it hang from a wall socket. The USB power is a nice bonus.

do these float?

It does not matter. They are not waterproof. If they get dumped into the water, they are likely ruined. I would trust them to get sprinkled on in a light rain, but that is about it.

Talk with family or access the internet with this TracFone Samsung Galaxy Luna smartphone. Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow OS provides dependable support for apps, while 8GB internal storage lets you transfer your contact list. This TracFone Galaxy Luna smartphone features a large 4.5-inch screen, making it ideal for everything from video-conferencing to gaming.
 

My galaxy luna keeps telling me my storage is almost full. 3.85 gigs are used for system memory and my internal memory is showung less than 1 gig being used....wheres the resf of my memory and how can i delete whats using it?

This is common for Android devices. A good part of your memory is "reserved" for the system and you cannot touch it. This includes Android itself and all built-in programs. The rest is yours, but this includes newer version of the built-in programs. Yes, you likely have two copies of "Google Maps, "Chrome," and "Gmail" on your phone -- the old version in system memory and the new version in user memory.

What you have to do is first to install a decent micro-SD card. At least 16 GB, but bigger is always better. Find an app (like AppMgr Pro III) that will find all apps that can be moved to the SD card and move everything that you can. This will help a lot. Also, find any pre-installed apps that you know that you will not use; uninstall the updates and then disable the app so that they are not re-updated. Finally, move all of your media files (movies, photos, music, etc.) so the micro-SD card.

When buying a budget phone, memory is one of the things that gets cut, and this is one of the areas that hurts the customer the most.

Pounding bass and brilliant treble combine when you put on a pair of these Skullcandy earphones. Enjoy supreme comfort throughout the day thanks to the comfortable silicone ear gels and the flat cable that minimizes tangles. Simply connect these Skullcandy earphones to your smartphone, tablet or MP3 player using the 3.5mm jack.
 

Am i able to get replacement ear tips because my size aren't available

This unit only comes with two sets of tips: standard and small. However, these use pretty much the same tip mounting system as every other pair of earbuds that I have seen. So, if you have a set of tips that fit you well, you should be able to put those on this product in about 30 seconds.
