Outstanding Laptop Backpack
on March 30, 2019
Posted by: Dekay
from Bloomington, MN
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've owned A LOT of laptop bags and backpacks over the years. This one is by far the best of the field. Recently purchased to replace one with a broken zipper and took it with me to Europe a week later. Performed well, though fair warning, it does stick out a bit, while wearing it, but getting it under a plane seat in coach is not a problem. I travel a lot for work anyway, so this was a major concern,
Other advantages:
TSA compliant (unzips all the way to lay laptop out separately), though I use it as a pocket for a second laptop or my tablet, depending on my needs.
Holds a large laptop (Dell Precision workstation) better than any other I've had with plenty of room - easily holds a 17" laptop.
Best Feature: There is a dedicated power brick/accessory pocket in the bottom! That sold it. Second best feature: no matter how much is in it, the bag stands up on its own! The middle book pocket has slots for pens, cards, etc, a key leash, and a zippered mesh pocket, presumably so the hamster won't suffocate. The chamber can be expanded if necessary (but takes away the accessory pocket below it) however, I've not needed to do that. Upper lined pocket for glasses, and stuff, large front pocket for other bulky stuff - just more useful space. Highly recommended.

Perfect addition for travel
on March 28, 2019

Verified Purchase:Yes
Perfect addition to my iPad. turns it into a smallish laptop which is awesome for travel, Connects very quickly, always ready. Smooth typing experience, no noticeable lag. I like that a loop for my pencil is built in. Doesn't add much weight - at least I don't notice it. Also, it does protect the entire device when closed, but I'd hedge my bets on drop protection. Luckily, I haven't tested that yet.

The new Multi-Touch subsystem in the new iPad 9.7" and iPad Pro gives Apple Pencil striking capabilities alongside pixel perfect precision. Using incredibly sensitive pressure and tilt sensors, Apple Pencil instantly recognizes when you are pressing harder or shifting its angle. So you can vary line weight, create subtle shading, and produce a wide range of artistic effects ~ just like with a conventional pencil.

Modernize the look of your Apple iPhone X with this Nomad case. American leather is cushioned with a microfiber lining to absorb shock from impacts, and semi-rigid TPE protects against scratches and nicks from everyday use. The top of this Nomad case is clear to show off your phone's logo and design.

Rugged, great looking, but too easily scratched
on December 9, 2018
Posted by: Dekay
from Bloomington, MN
Verified Purchase:Yes
I love the look and feel of it. The leather is beautiful and I loved that it showed off the gorgeous black back of the phone through the clear top third of the case. BUT, the clear part scratches ridiculously easily. The look was ruined less than five minutes after I installed it and put it in my pocket. I took it out and the plastic looked like my pockets were lined with 250-grit sandpaper. The leather part was fine. I think I'll be looking at something more forgiving, or giving up on the visibility and going with the full-bodied Nomad Rugged case.

Nice, luxury folio case - and that smell
on December 9, 2018
Posted by: Dekay
from Bloomington, MN
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'll start with that...the smell. Leather. Real leather. Mmmmm, nice. OK, it's a fairly luxury folio case in that the leather is very high quality. The insert case is just plastic but does cover all the way around which some do not.
A few cards will make the top not close flat, but it's a folio case, and generally, none of them do. Still, it is not a wallet replacement and isn't designed to be either. It's a very pleasant case to own and only gets better as the leather gets broken in and the patina develops to give the case its own unique character. This is the second one I've owned as I upgraded to a different phone (7 Plus to a Xs).

Plenty of juice, but.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Starting with this works really well and I have no real issues as it works well for me, but a couple of points...it is a but large and heavy for a 15,000 milliamp battery pack. Also, it has a long recharge cycle. That said, it doesn't need charging often and will feed several devices long before that's necessary. I do travel with it, but the size and weight have not been an issue for me.

The length is perfect for our conference room setup. The cable goes into the wall, comes out under our conference table so any person at the table can present using the HDMI output on their laptop. Carries 4K signal perfectly. Still not sure I understand the value of way more expensive cables, but you know, choices.

Full Motion is the way to go

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've installed all kinds of wall mounts - will always go with a full motion mount. Why? Because hooking up HDMI cables and whatnot are sooo much easier when the TV can be pulled away from the wall. Flat to the wall models...what a pain. Anyway, this one is solid, easy to install..no issues handling the weight of a 70" panel. Would recommend it.

Wear your 42mm Apple Watch in the gym and at casual gatherings with this black NEXT sport band. Its integrated lug design provides a built-in look, and its precision cutouts let you access the buttons and ports of your device. The premium-grade silicone material of this NEXT sport band is lightweight and sweat-resistant.

By Adasha
from Beaumont, Texas
I assumed this band would operate as the other Apple bands do. However, it doesn't have the same layout as the normal band have, with the spare part beyond the insert to hold the watch as you pull it to snap it. We tried installing each piece every way possible, but you still have to pull it, hold it, and then try to snap it. Mine goes to the very end snap hole and there's no way to make it any smaller. I would not buy this again.

You’ve clearly installed the bands upside down. The pin should face outward, not inward.

"E" key stopped working after six weeks. Manufacturer is charging to return. Not worth the fancy keys or the wood styling. Go with a Razer instead.

You mean Edge?
April 20, 2020
Edge is a Microsoft product that has Explorer’s engine under it's good. It's a rather ham-handed effort to use an AI engine on top of explorer and other functions to deliver a more ”personalized” Windows experience. Which it can do, if you. Don't mind it collecting gobs of your user data and background tracking algorithms to build your ”personal” profile.
You can disable it and all of the data collection, but it isn't simple or intuitive. Plenty of walk-throughs on the interwebs are available though. I just changed my default browser to Firefox, but I also use Chrome and IE when something doesn't work on one or the other platforms.
Sorry you feel misled. That sucks. But it's not a massive issue since you can still take control of your own destiny. Hope this helps a bit.

First time I used a bidet was abroad. Immediately wondered why this isn't more common in the US. For example, when we get peanut butter & jelly on our hands, we don't reach for the toilet paper roll to clean up, we wash our hands instead. Same concept but for your bum.
I've been searching for a bidet that didn't require an electrician to show up at home like those high end Japanese Toto bidets since I didn't have an electric outlet near the toilet. I did a ton of research and settled on the Luxe Neo 120 as the best bang for the buck non-electric bidet.
Furthermore, it took only 10 minutes to install. In earlier online reviews, YouTube install videos, and Luxe's own setup tutorial video, the T-splitter was plastic. However, mine came with a metal T-splitter. I tried it out for a week and everyone at home started taking a dump on my toilet. A week later, I bought a 2nd Luxe Neo 120 bidet from Best Buy

So your review is good, but I had to share my second thought:
Also, I think you might making your sandwiches wrong. How are you getting PB&J on your bum? And I imagine those are not quite as popular in your house now...

But, no. These restrict wrist movement, so lifting the leaves or straw becomes awkward. Major disappointment. Overpriced at $20, not worth the $10 sale price.

Have you tried using only one at a time with a rake? I would think that it would be great for holding large volume of leaves against the rake while allowing flexibility when lifting the rake. that's how I plan to use them anyway. Just a thought.

we have comcast modem now but we do not have a router and never have will this work for us
It will if you plug the ethernet cable from the jack in the modem to the jack of a single computer. I assume this is what you are currently doing. This modem has only one ethernet jack. If there were more than one, you would have a Modem/Router combination. Without a router (wireless or switch box), there is no option to simultaneously connect multiple independent devices like, for example, a desktop, a laptop, and a smart TV. Hope that helps.

Is this item compatible for 2010 Honda Pilot EXL?
Yes, it is. I have a 2011 Pilot EX-L and installed a more complicated version of this which works through my XM satellite radio via a modified harness - allows me to use the steering wheel controls, but the microphone is crap, so I can't use it for what I really bought it for (hands-free calling). Also involved removing the factory stereo - like I said - complicated.
This unit you could simply plug into the aux plug in the console compartment, and run the mic and control button back under the console up to your steering column - easier than it sounds, trust me. The only thing is you don't have steering wheel controls for the aux - but so what if the hands-free is working and the sound quality of calls is killer? And of course, you can still play music from your phone too.
Honestly, in hindsight, this is exactly what I would have done.
