I bought this along with the S-3 Frontier watch. It is an added protection just in-case you scratch the dial face. It is tedious to install. The personal at Best Buy installed this for me. An old adage came to mind when I bought the protector after purchasing the S-3 watch. An ounce of protection is worth more than a pound of cure. Certainly beats the wait for getting the watch fixed if the watch-face glass cracks.

Samsung - Gear S3 Frontier Smartwatch 46mm - Dark Gray
The Gear S3 has the esthetics of a truly premium watch with advanced features built right into the watch design. That's why it's so easy and effortless to use the Gear S3. It's also built for you to go days without needing your phone or to recharge. You get to feel free with the Gear S3.
Excellant Device for on the go or student

Purchased this watch as a multi-function device. I use it for messages, reminders, the obvious - a wrist watch and health step monitor. It has enough memory to do most any Samsung Apps. Disadvantage, functionality from the watch is based on what phone it is paired with. It does not work with older blue-tooth phone such as S-5. Check the compatibility chart before your purchase. It is a high end device that is typically used with newer high end phones. The watch speaker is not very loud if you are planning to use in conjunction with a phone call. The vibration alerts work great.
I get about 12 to 14 hours out of the battery on light usage and about 6 - 8 moderate usage and text. I strongly advise getting the additional warranty from Best Buy along with the watch face / screen protector. No, I haven't taken it swimming nor do I plan to.

With hurricane season drawing near it's best to have a stock of these just in case of a power outage. My flashlights use the size AAA and AA batteries. I bought both packs while they were on sale.

I bought these for the Xbox type controllers. The kids go through a lot of batteries over the course of the year. These batteries are the best for what I bought them for the controllers and some of my clocks.

Hasbro - Star Wars The Black Series Imperial Stormtrooper Electronic Voice Changer Helmet - Black
Join the Imperial Army with this Star Wars Stormtrooper helmet. Its built-in electronic voice changer lets you sound like a real soldier of the Galactic Empire. This collectible Star Wars Stormtrooper helmet from the elite Black Series collection by Hasbro is a realistic replica of those seen in the Rogue One movie.
Great Gift Idea but weak mic / audio
Customer Rating
4.0
Purchased the set, one white and one black helmet for the grandchildren after seeing, then purchasing the Blu-Ray disc set.. Adjustable straps are a great improvement from previous versions. Downfall is the mic / audio output. Changing batteries did not solve the low audio issue but not a show stopper....hence the 4 star rating.

WD - My Cloud 4TB External Hard Drive (NAS) - White
This WD My Cloud drive features a 4TB capacity and lets you stream media to compatible DLNA-/UPnP-capable devices or upload and access data on the go via PC, Mac and compatible mobile phones and tablets. Automatic backup helps safeguard your files.
Having a backup against a disk drive failure is great. Is this also a backup against ransomware? If my computer gets infected with ransomware and the files on my computer get encrypted, will the copies on myCloud also get encrypted?
If the files are corrupted, then unless you have some form of firewall / antivirus installed that checks your files before they are 'transferred' or copied; then the answer is yes they, along with any other files you may have on the drive will become infected also.

WD - My Cloud 2TB External Hard Drive (NAS) - White
With a 2TB capacity and a Gigabit Ethernet interface, this WD My Cloud external network-attached storage device lets you easily save files via your existing Dropbox or other Cloud account and access them from devices connected to your home network.
Can It be configured as a Raid,using the usb port and a HD? I know with HD's they only last so long, what happens to all the stored files once the HD crashes. With online storage like dropbox , etc all files are backed up.
I do not believe so. You need to have a Raid controller hardware and software.

APC - Back-UPS 450VA Network 40 UPS - Black
Keep your home networking equipment working when the electricity goes out with this APC Back-UPS Network 40 BN4001 UPS that features 4 battery-backup and surge-protection outlets to ensure electronics remain powered during outages.
Is the device grounded - 3 prong plug?
The one I purchased does have a 3 prong plug. I would suggest having your power receptacle ground verified if your concern is about grounding. If the receptacle ground isn't correctly configured or missing, then I doubt having a 3 prong ground chord from the UPS wouldn't be of any value or protection.
