Superb iPad case that might be my new favorite!
on August 5, 2025
Posted by: SoutheastBeast
Verified Purchase:Yes
I’ve owned various iPads and other tablets over the past 10+ years and this UAG - Metropolis SE case is easily among the top favorite cases I’ve used, especially at it’s mid-tier price. The material and snug fit are excellent. The tablet is well protected on all sides/corners and while I’ve only had a couple of drops so far, ( I blame my kids ) the tablet has come out unscathed. The open-to-wake feature works great and so does the tablet stand functionality. My biggest conplaint so far is that the case doesn’t come in mire colors. Overall, this is a must-have for any tablet owners who want to keep their tablet protected at all times, you wont regret it!

Durable and large surge protector
on June 18, 2022
Posted by: SoutheastBeast
Verified Purchase:Yes
So far, the surge protector works flawlessly and does its job well. Construction is durable …all the inputs seem to be working. The size is nice to have multiple devices plugged in, although I only have about 4 devices plugged in for now, so they are well spaced apart. Been using this for about a month, so I don’t know how well it will protect against power surges yet. Overall, a good value compared to other brands

Top contender for a content streaming device!
on June 15, 2022
Posted by: SoutheastBeast
Verified Purchase:Yes
compact, unobtrusive, and very easy to setup. wired or
wireless internet compatibility. i was streaming with the
available services as provided on my 4K tv. i would get
intermittent lag, and video artifacts that i assumed was due
to my internet provider. decided to look into a streaming
device after reading several reviews. this model happened to
be near or at the top of many lists. i'm kicking myself after
realizing i should've purchased this from the get-go. video
and audio quality has improved greatly, and really showcases
how good my oled 4k tv should be. well worth the cost.

Best Apple Watch yet!
on May 8, 2022
Posted by: SoutheastBeast
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is about my 7th smart "watch". I've have a couple of Fitbits, a Jawbone, a Zenwatch 3 (prettiest of the bunch), a Samsung Galaxy, and an Amazfit Bip (good watch for the money). I've basically got a smart watch museum. I got the Apple Watch because, honestly, I'm getting older and I wanted the fall detection and health features. I've had it for a couple of weeks and here's what I think, from bad to good.
1. Battery life sucks. It'll get through one day, but that's it. The Bip would last for 3 weeks on a charge.
2. The screen isn't great in direct sun. It's better than some others, but doesn't hold a candle to the Bip, which was somehow reflective in bright light, sort of like a Kindle.
3. The sleep tracking is ok, about what you'd expect from a movement detecter, but the app for it isn't very good. Stick with one of the gadgets that goes under your mattress for now.
4. It has some very nice watch faces, with custom complications. Best of the bunch.
5. Very comfortable to wear. The big stem doesn't get in the way at all.
6. The health features work great. It accurately tracks you pulse, and will check you blood oxygen and ECG on demand. I wish it would do the blood oxygen periodically with low saturation detection, but battery is likely a problem.
7. The fitness features rock. Even without a subscription, the watch has helped me get my exercise.
It has a ton of other useful features. Siri works fine, you can control Spotify with it, maps are kind of fun. Lots of other things. The really good thing is that, as the practical king of smart watches, there are 3rd party apps/integrations to do just about anything that could make sense, and it's unlikely the watch will be orphaned like my AndroidWear watches were.

Enjoying the beautiful artwork of Master Chief and the durable material. Looks stunning on my shelf. Got it for free with the game, but it’s worth the money, if you are a fan of steel books

Excellent gameplay for Halo or FPS fans
on April 23, 2022
Posted by: SoutheastBeast
Verified Purchase:Yes
Ever since I started playing Halo: Combat Evolved in 2001, this series held closest to my heart. 20 years later this franchise still thrives despite Halo 5: Guardians' lackluster story, I am very happy to say Halo Infinite is an amazing game. Halo Infinite is (in my opinion) one of the best Halo games ever released. The story is amazing, pretty, and very emotional, being the first Halo game to make me shed a tear since Halo 3. All of the characters they introduced and all being lovable and diverse, reminds me of Halo 2's characters very much. The gameplay is perfect, the best in the series ever. The art style from Halo 4, 5, and Halo Wars 2 was not the best, but Halo Infinite returns to the original style which is wonderful. The lore is amazing and everything is perfect. Although missions are not replayable unless you want to restart the campaign, this is a bummer but most games follow this path like Destiny 2, Farcry, Assassins Creed, so most live services games. With it being a live service, I do expect story DLC to grow more like an Arbiter DLC or a Flood DLC. I love this game to death and I will for the next 10 years.

Quick and easy coffee!
on March 25, 2022
Posted by: SoutheastBeast
Verified Purchase:Yes
I’ve had my Nespresso maker for about a month now and my wife and I have been pleased with the various coffee and espresso drinks we’ve had. Super simple to pop in a capsule and press a button to have your hot coffee a minute later . No mess from coffee grinds, easy storage of old capsules, and the coffee maker seems to be well-built and engineered. More expensive than a Keurig , including the monthly capsules price, but I’m still happy with my purchase.

Great accessory to pair with my iPad Air. It comes in handy for many apps and games I use. Very responsive, intuitive, and seems durable in my hand. Connection to my iPad is seamless. Biggest con is the hefty price.

Excellent smart lightbulbs, I already have some setup in my home, and these were simple to add, via the app. The controls are intuitive and I love that I can sync the lights with my music on my smart speaker. And all the color selections and scenes are incredible. Biggest con is the hefty price, compared to other smart bulbs. Definitely recommend try getting these when they are on sale.
