If you do have a case don't waste your time it will constantly cause the screen protector to lift up and create bubbles and look terrible.

The note 7 was better but that's not an option for someone who travels as much as I do. The edge is the next best thing and in my humble opinion better then the cookie cutter IPhone devices on the market.

Bugs out big time if you try to pair it to two phones. Robotic sounds and disconnects from both devices. It's about 95% reliable.

If you're going to get a case, specifically Spigen. Rule this screen protector out as the screen protector will "slide" or "bunch up" from the case putting pressure on it.

It has enough features to be entertaining but isn't overly complex, still serves as a great 'regular' watch. Very lightweight and hard to notice you've even wearing it sometimes.

Why spend bundles of cash on something unless you desperately need it? I went with the 64GB card as it was competitively priced and upgraded my Note 7 to 128GB total storage

I'd suggest 8-12 is a good age for this tablet, it's a great starter tablet until your young one shows responsibility, care and proper use of electronics.

 Pokémon Y Standard Edition - Nintendo 3DS
Pokémon Y Standard Edition - Nintendo 3DS
Set off on a thrilling 3D adventure that takes you to places the Pokémon franchise has never gone before. Pokémon Y travels to the breathtaking land of Kalos, a star-shaped, enchanting region brimming with stunning forests, buzzing cities and many brand-new Pokémon. Gaze upon the wonder of the iconic tower in the center of Lumiose City, as you battle, catch and add to your Pokédex an array of new Pokémon that join the 640 you've already encountered. The Trainer is only as good as his Pokémon, so get ready to fight for glory with the powerful new creatures at your fingertips in Pokémon Y.Meet Helioptile, a Normal- and Electric-type Pokémon who can generate powerful electricity from sun-bathing to power machinery. While it may display a lack of bravery, its robust Parabolic Charge move makes up for it when Helioptile attacks everything around it. Its HP is restored by half the damage taken by those hit for a significant addition to your Pokédex. Fletchling, a Normal- and Flying-type Pokémon, may take adversaries by surprise, since behind its beautiful chirp and friendly personality lies relentless battle attacks, such as Flame Charge. In addition to doing damage, Fletchling's speed increases every time it unleashes this move. Normally sporting a leaf in its mouth and an intimidating glare, Fighting-type Pokémon Pancham shows its softer side and lets out a smile when you pat its head. During battle, however, Pancham lets loose daunting moves, including Parting Shot, which not only lowers an opponent's Attack and Special Attack, but also allows Pancham to switch out for another Pokémon in a Trainer's party during battle. Discover a new method of transportation with Gogoat, a large Grass-type Pokémon who will gladly let you ride its back around Lumiose City. In battle, its Horn Leech move recovers HP equal to half the damage dealt by its move. With so much to explore and so many new Pokémon to acquire, you're sure to happily spend hours lost within the world of Pokémon Y.
 
Really fun Pokemon Game in a long series!

I thoroughly enjoyed Pokémon Y and playing it with my daughters. The characters were fun and although it's a typical story about becoming the best trainer it was still just different enough to be fun.

 Seagate - Backup Plus Slim for Mac 1TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Silver/Black
Seagate - Backup Plus Slim for Mac 1TB External USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive - Silver/Black
The Save feature of this 1TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim for Mac STDS1000100 external hard drive allows you to easily back up digital content from your favorite social networks. The slim, metal design makes it simple to transport the hard drive.
 

PC and Mac?

The guy at Best Buy said the "Seagate Backup Plus for Mac" would work for Windows computers also, I have worked on this for hours trying to get this to work. He said it has the windows logo on the side and it would work, I bought (2) one for me and one for my Wife's computer. We live about 75 miles from Best buy. cant get it to read either computer. Does anyone know what the problem is?
You have to reformat the harddrive to whatever your file system is on the Windows PC. NTFS Is what most windows harddrives use as their format. Most of the time if you plug it in to a windows based PC and attempt to enter the harddrive or save data to it you'll be prompted to ask if you'd like to reformat.

Hope that points you in the right direction

 Logitech - G930 Wireless Gaming Headset - Black
Logitech - G930 Wireless Gaming Headset - Black
This headset features gaming-grade wireless range up to 40'. The 7.1-channel surround sound with advanced Dolby technology lets you hear opponents before they see you.
 

How comfortable is it during extended gaming seshions?

Other then a little sweat around the ears it's very comfortable, but due to the nature of the material hugging around ears despite it being plush and not hurting your skin a little natural perspiration will happen there. You mostly won't feel it at all until you take the headphones off.

So yes, extended gameplay isn't an issue. They're bulky though ( not that you actually feel the weight of it but the size of them is still notable )so "laying down" with them or something like that isn't really an issue. It's meant for having your head essentially upright. Slouching, laying down but head titled up, sitting up in your computer chair, etc. all good postures for extended use.

Does this come with a wireless port?

does it come with the proper cords too?
It comes with a small ( soda can width ) but about an inch thick station that you plug the wireless receiver into and it in turn plugs into your laptop/pc. The opposite end of the charging station plugs into your headset for charging.

So it runs via USB 3.0 - No other plugs available or necessary
