I own both the Touch Cover and the Type Cover 2. I prefer the type cover, heavily, over the touch cover due to the responsive keys that are more like a traditional keyboard. While smaller than most keyboards on laptops it's easy to adapt to it. The backlighting is helpful and nice but is limited in the dimming levels offered.
The biggest downfall of this keyboard contains two parts. The first is the touchpad, which is not as accurate as it could be. At times it works well and others it seems to not recognize more than one finger.
Of course this is an easy workaround when using a touchscreen device, right? Not exactly - Windows 8/8.1 Pro seems to want to use the onscreen keyboard anytime the touchscreen is used. Utilizing the touchscreen instead of the touchpad only brings frustration as the onscreen keyboard is displayed and then retreats when keys are pressed on the keyboard. It seems that some software programing can fix the latter.
Overall, this keyboard is what helped the Surface Pro replace my laptop as my everyday user. If you type a lot and want a traditional keyboard feel I would recommend it.

On sale for only $10 on release day and It was worth it. Bought it that evening and watched it that night. Quality is great and if you like the current Marvel movies you'll enjoy the different nuances in this one.

Good start for Bungie in a new series. FPS gameplay is very smooth and graphics are what you would expect. Campaign play could use better story and more diversity. Multiplayer is expanding but could use more options as well. Overall, well worth the purchase and updates continue to enhance the gameplay.

What's great about it: Multiple SD Card slots
What's not so great: Size and not USB 3.0
I needed a USB card reader to replace the one I normally carry around with me. I was hesitant at first about Dynex but I have found this product to work well. It's plastic housing but it still feels durable when handling it.
The speeds are on par with most brand name card readers. They were certainly better than my 4 years old card reader. It also has a spot for SD cards as well as Micro SD cards. I actually find this to be a bonus. At the same time it does make the card reader longer (more the size of a jump drive).
If it was USB 3.0 compatible I would have given it 5 stars. I'll keep using it until I find it necessary to change.

 Thief - Xbox One
Thief - Xbox One
A City teetering on the edge of a bloody revolution. An oppressive regime subsisting on the rising tide of fear. An extraordinarily skilled thief lies in the shadows during this uncertain and troubled time, thwarting even the most cautious citizens out of their best-guarded possessions. But as the uprising, led by Orion, voice-of-the-people, begins to emerge, Master Thief Garrett finds himself entangled in the ever-tightening knot of conflict. The Baron's Watch refuses to ease their stringent regime, and Garrett's abilities may be the only thing that will prevent the streets from running red with the blood of the people. Will you redefine your role as Thief to save the City from a devastating fate?Slip into the silent shoes of the dark and solitary Master Thief and sneak through the City unnoticed and unsanctioned. Unmatched stealth skills make child's play out of the most challenging heists and place the most inaccessible loots within your reach as you infiltrate luxurious mansions and relieve the residents of their valuables. Explore the sick and suffering City, from the shady back alleys to the highest rooftops, and decide what kind of thief you are. Whether you choose stealth or force, you are well-equipped to get the job done — choose force and leverage Garrett's arsenal and eliminate guards with your blackjack, or shoot one of the many arrow types. Choose stealth and manipulate your environment to outsmart your enemies with newly acquired focus abilities. Either way, you'll find yourself deeply immersed in the game's unprecedented sights, sounds and artificial intelligence, made possible by groundbreaking visual elements. Thief represents a truly tactile and visceral first-person experience and the amazing power of your next-generation console. The time has come to decide your role in the revolution.

What's great about it: Great Sound, Impressive Graphics
I played the original Thief on PC many many years ago and it has stood as a favorite for a very long time. I was very excited to see it reboot on the new generation consoles and it doesn't disappoint.
From the beginning it feels like the original Thief game with improved sound and easy controls. The audio quality is impressive for the game and many parts of the game rely on being aware of the sounds around your player.
Development of this game is impressive. I'm still working on multiplayer and already have the urge to play it again on a harder setting. I think this is a great pick up for anyone who enjoys this style of game play.

What's great about it: Great battery life, Matches Asthetically
What's not so great: Stand is slightly unstable
Picked this over the Energizer brand based on reviews and the cheaper price. So far I've been happy with what I've gotten out of the batteries. I went through a set of AA batteries in a week. The first times I used the rechargeable battery I went around a month before needing a charge. In fact, I can't even remember the last time I charged them.
Recharge time is quick, I have an extra controller in the off chance it goes out mid-game. The stand has a nice look and it doesn't look cheesy. However, the cradle that holds isn't entirely firm and sometimes the controllers feel loose. I've accidentally knocked one out while putting in the other. Green LED notifying charging is nice and isn't too bright.
Overall, I figured out which order to place them in the charging dock to keep from having a hassle. It's not that big of a deal, I would give it 4.5 stars if Best Buy had half star increments. It's worth the buy if you're going to be playing frequently.

What's great about it: Good writing, actors perfect for the part
What's not so great: Plot can be hard to follow, unique style
I've always been a fan of Guy Ritchie films and I was thrilled when he was picked for the Sherlock Holmes series. The plot is good but it can take some time to get used to how Ritchie films and directs. The plot also could have been a little better. If you're not used to this type of cinematography you may be caught off guard at first. Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law were a perfect fit together.

What's great about it: Good price, Great sound and video
What's not so great: Cinematography style is an acquired taste.
I've always been a fan of Guy Ritchie films and this one is another great. Classic Sherlock Holmes antics, well thought out plot and great filming. If you're not used to this type of cinematography you may be caught off guard at first. Jude Law and RD Jr play their roles excellently, again, in this follow up.

How does Sim card from cell phone fit?

It says it will cell phone cards, and the salesperson said it would read the sim card. However Sim card does not fit. Any ideas on how or where the card actually goes? I desperately need the information.
The salesperson you talked to was mistaken. This will read SD and MicroSD cards. MicroSD is a common add-on storage option in mobile phones, maybe they were thinking of that. However, it will not read SIM cards.
