Good protection, Bad Design
on October 18, 2024
Posted by: SVbach
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've been using Otterbox Defender series for years and have they have protected my phones well. Unfortunately, the design of this case with the new Apple camera control button just doesn't work for me. The cutout is in an awkward place for a right handed person and I just don't feel like I can hold the case normally. Also, the way the cutout is done, it leaves about an inch or so of the phone as well as any screen protector exposed on both the front and sides.
I'm going to try to return the case. Right now, I've swapped out to an ESR Cyber Tough case which seems equivalent to the Otterbox Commuter case but the ESR includes a kickstand for the phone. The cutout on the ESR isn't a pronounced as on the Otterbox and there is a small piece that covers the edge that the Otterbox didn't.

Good case

Verified Purchase:Yes
Good case with nice cable management. A little snug on the inside to work in but holds my ATX motherboard anf gtx 2070 super graphics card just fine. Seems to have good airflow. The only real negative is the top fan mount area. I had wanted to use a 280mm radiator on the top, but it wouldn’t fit with my Corsair memory that has rgb lights on it. The memory sticks were too tall and the radiator wouldn’t clear them. I had to downsize to a 240mm radiator on top to get it to fit and not hit the memory sticks.

Ok speakers

I was trying to downsize to smaller speakers to open up space on my desk. Needed something where the speakers weren’t pre-wired together. I tried these and they weren’t bad. However decided to go with a set of Creative T-100 speakers that sounded about the same but were $60 cheaper.

Use the Apple Gift Card to get products, accessories, apps, games, music, movies, TV shows, and more. Spend it on in-app content, books, subscriptions like iCloud+ storage to secure files from all your Apple devices. This gift card does it all. And then some.

Good program - Hate the Annual Subscription
on December 10, 2021
Posted by: SVbach
Verified Purchase:Yes
I’ve used Quicken for years to track my finances. Nothing really new in the last few years and still has some quirks. However, it’s the only program that does everything I want such as downloading transactions from the web and tracking investments. I hate the subscription plan that they’ve implemented though, especially since they don’t offer discounts on renewal to long time users.

Quality Control?

The picture is great and has both good picture and sound. Had to return to Best Buy because a row of pixels went bad a week after I bought it. Ended up buying another one at Costco for same price but with extended warranty included. Best Buy wanted over $200 more for a 2 year extension.

OLED at the top of its game. From the big game to being in the game, no detail goes unseen. With advanced gaming technology like NVIDIA G-SYNC, you'll crush the competition. Self-lit pixels emit their own light for perfect black, intense color and stunning picture~paired with our best processor for even better picture quality. Only on OLED.

Poor Color Out of the Box

Tried this LG TV after having to return a Sony A80J that pixels went out on. The LG had great features, but the colors were off even after adjusting settings. I also thought the Sony had a much better picture than the LG. Ended up returning the LG and got another Sony A80J.

Charge and connect devices conveniently with this Insignia 12-foot USB 3.0 extension cable. The robust design allows for data transfer at speeds up to 5Gbps, and the 12-foot length is great for reaching devices on desks. This Insignia 12-foot USB 3.0 extension cable has a thick outer coating to provide durability.

How many satellites do I need for this to work properly?

It’ll depend on the size of your house and what’s in between the satellites such as walls, furniture, etc. One device is supposed to cover 3000 sq ft, but your signal strength will drop the farther you get from it.

Arm your windows and doors with extra security with this Ring Alarm Contact Sensor 2-pack. The easy-to-install monitors sense when a door or window opens, sending an alert directly to your phone or PC with a compatible app. This Ring Alarm Contact Sensor 2 pack works in tandem with Ring Alarm base station (not included) to secure your home.
 

Can this be used on a sliding door?

Yes, as long as there is room to mount one of the sensors on the fixed part of the door frame and the other one on the sliding door itself. It does not matter which sensor goes on the frame and which one goes on the sliding door.

The Roomba~ i7 robot vacuum unleashes powerful cleaning when, where, and how you want with a single command to your Google Assistant or Alexa voice assistant. When messes happen, just say, ~Tell Roomba to clean under the kitchen table.~ Smart navigation maps specific objects in your home, guiding it to the mess, right when the mess happens. With 10x the suction* and automatic, personalized schedules~even recommendations during pollen and pet-shedding seasons~ its vacuuming that fits seamlessly into your life.
 

I know that it maps out your rooms, but if it runs into a dog toy or something similar, does it move around the toy and continue? Or does the unit get stuck? Similarly, if I move my coffee table, does it get confused and stop or does it adapt? Thanks!

Depends on the size of the toy or object. If the object doesn't trigger the sensor that says the robot hit something, it will more than likely push the toy until it does hit something. If the toy won't go under the edge of the robot, then it shouldn't suck it up, but that is a possibility again based on the toy size. That isn't much different than a regular vacuum though. As for moving furniture, we sometimes put our table chairs up, and sometimes leave them down, and the robot seems to adjust accordingly to the changes. You do need to be careful with cords on the floor that the vacuum might come in contact with as those can get sucked into the cleaning mechanism. If the robot gets jammed, it will stop and let you know until you clear the jam.
