Very solid printer, love the Google Cloud option. I had a little bit of an issue getting Google Cloud to work. Turns out the printer needed a firmware update. Googling it yielded simple results and as soon as it was updated away it went!

I have used ZAGG's screen protectors long before they went mainstream and available at Best Buy. There is no better screen protector out there, period. They truly stand behind them 100%.

Got this on sale, I usually buy memory cards like this elsewhere because they are much more cost-effective, but the sale price on this was worth it. So far so good in adding memory to my wife's tablet.

What's great about it: Gets in nice and close
What's not so great: Louder than my STM's but that's to be expected
Love this lens. I have been shooting a lot of youth hockey with it, and while I would love one of Canon's faster lenses at 300mm, I've found that this one does just fine in most of the arenas I've shot in, and my wallet is all the happier too. Top it off with the 200 rebate Canon was running and this lens was a steal!

What's great about it: Very tough
What's not so great: Slightly slippery to hold
This thing is tough, that's for sure, and it give my S4 just a little more protection than nothing since I primarily keep it in my pocket. The back surface of it is sort of slippery, which is nice on one hand because it doesn't stick when you try to get it out of your pocket, but you have to be careful it doesn't just slip out of your hands. I did end up pairing this with the Invisible Shield screen protector as I have found their stuff can't be beat, and had no issues with this case and that protector, so that's a bonus.

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Haven't found that yet
I upgraded from the Motorola Bionic to this phone and so far it is phenomenal. I haven't really used any of the "gimmicky" features like the eye tracking and whatnot. But the speed (even though my last phone was 4GLTE too) and battery life of this thing are amazing.
Even about a month into owning this phone I'm still getting anywhere from 18-28 hours on a single charge with moderate use during the day. The screen is nice and crisp, and so far I've found transitioning from the Motorola interface to the Samsung interface to be pretty painless. I probably would have stuck with Motorola had they actually released something new more than once every 18 months or so, but now I don't know if I'd switch back, this Samsung is very nice. About my only complaint would be having to go to Verizon's ultra junk "share you wallet" data plan from my unlimited plan. I was upgrading 2 phones and buying two at full retail just wasn't in the cards. I absolutely hate cell phone providers and they way they take you hostage with their awful plans, but Sprint and T-Mobile have the worst coverage in Minnesota, with AT&T not being much better.

What's great about it: Everything
What's not so great: Fingerprints, but such is life
I've used Invisible Shield forever... long before Best Buy ever caught wind of them. They have a straight forward warranty (be sure to register at their website that you see in the packaging) And one of the Best Buy people told me they are now an authorized warranty exchange provider as well, so you may not even have to deal with the postage.
These are far and away the best screen protectors on the market. They're durable and do the job, and when they do get nicked up doing the job of protecting your screen the company stands behind them 1000% and will gladly ship you a new one no questions asked.

What's great about it: Good screen protection
What's not so great: Pixallated the screen in a weird way
First let me say I love Invisible Shield products. I have been buying their screen protectors long before Best Buy ever heard of them, and I usually buy them directly online. When I was buying my phone I figured I'd try this design. It has sort of a matte finish to it, but with white screens you could almost see every individual pixel which was super annoying. Switched out to their HD model and while there are the "traditional" smudges and fingerprints the clarity of the screen is much much better.

Does this come with a cable and adapter to charge the battery from household voltage as well as car voltage

I would like to be able to use the GPS device from a home location as well as a mobile location in a car Because of this I would want to charge the battery from home as well as when I am in a car. Does it come with the necessary cable to do this?
Yes and no... it comes with the cable, you would probably need to get a USB car charger thing, which you can get basically anywhere from gas stations to computer stores, you just need the USB port (preferably a high powered 2.1 amp port) to plug the USB cable that comes with the tablet into. (Or really any micro USB cable will work.)

Kindle Fire VS Samsung Tablet for ebook reading

I loved my Kindle fire, but now need to replace it.. I like to read books on it, but also visit the web, email ect..any pro or cons on a Tablet(this one) over another Kindle Fire HD????
Especially interested in thoughts on reading books on it..other features have great reviews.
Thanks
I would say the only big difference would be tablets generally have glare issues, so if you're going to do a lot of poolside/outdoor reading you may not like a tablet as much, although I don't know the Kindle Fire HD screen that well. I personally love my Samsung tablet for the versatility it offers.

Can this phone work in other carriers like AT&T or even abroad?

I'm currently using Verizon phones but I may start to use AT&T next year. Will this phone work there as well?
And I'm also planning to go abroad so I'm wondering whether this phone could work on the local carriers there.
The short answer is no, Verizon and AT&T use different parts of the wireless spectrum for their phones. As far as international travel I was under the impression that the S4 Verizon phone will work internationally. One thing to research if you don't need your specific phone number is to see if there are compatible sim cards of the country you are going to that will work with this phone. It might be cheaper unless you need to be reached on your US number. In that case open up your wallet, because Verizon ain't cheap when you go abroad from what I remember.
