What's great about it: Easy to install, compact, light
What's not so great: Hassle switching back and forth between audio plug
This case is awesome! I have dropped it several times and jumped in the pool with it, and had no problems with the case. Since then, I have bought two more cases. I am frequently asked at work, pool and my golf course about my case, and I have persuaded others into buying them as well. I don't recommend something unless I believe in it, and this is it!
As I mentioned, the plug to cover the audio jack to ensure it's waterproof is a little annoying and I seem to mislocate it (I'm sure that's my problem); however, my lifestyle is listen to my phone through headphones throughout the day, in the car via audio cable to and from work, and then by the pool on weekends with headphones using the audio adapter (dongle-type). I wish it was designed with a snap-style cap like the charging port was so I didn't have to look for it. That would be my only criticism...but it would NOT keep my from buying another case or recommending it to others.
This product has... Attractive design, Easily fits in pocket/purse, A no slip grip, Tough/durable, A nice compact size, good fit, waterproof, shock proof
About me... parent, outdoor enthusiast, active lifestyle

What's great about it: It fits the slim area left by iPhone 5 cases
What's not so great: None
I was looking for a cable that would work with the tiny space left on my iPhone 5 cases where the audio cable plugs in the bottom. This was never an issue on my other iPhones, but I wanted the clarity that a direct cable provides instead of using Bluetooth (yes my ears can discern the difference). This cable exceeded my expectations, and seems to be very durable so far (after 2 months of frequent use).
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: The quality of picture and streaming is greatly improved, as well as all the new features!
What's not so great: I can't really think of anything...it's not Slingbox's fault that they honor blocking certain requests for streaming!
This is not intended to be a full review, but I hope you find it helpful. CNET's full review is available on their website, but let me take an excerpt from their review to address the concern about streaming video from Comcast or other provider:
"In addition to the IR and streaming features the Slingbox 350 has, the $300 Slingbox 500 adds some unique new features. It's the first Slingbox to offer built-in Wi-Fi #finally!#. It's also the first to offer HDMI support #again: finally!#, albeit with the usual caveat: if the broadcaster uses the most aggressive digital "flag," that channel or program won't be streamable via HDMI. For that reason, Sling recommends still connecting the component video input as well -- a "belt and suspenders" approach, a company rep told me."
So, if your concern is being blocked on streaming protected content, then simply hook up some component cables too! If you found this helpful, then please vote, thank you.
