What's great about it: It's got a decent app that goes with it
What's not so great: Not exactly worth the price in my opinion
This 'toy' is just an oversized stylus for the most part. The app that comes with it is neat but nothing crazy. It seems a little overpriced for what you get but I guess most of that is paying for the name.

What's great about it: Picture quality, 3d, good price
What's not so great: IR sensor on the TV isn't very receptive
I picked this up on 7/24/2013. It came with 8 pairs of 3D glasses, a quick start guide, a bag with 4 screws (to put the stand together) and the TV it's self.
This TV has the looks of a top end set. It's a beautiful set from the almost non existent bezel to the super slim frame. After admiring the set for all of about 2 minutes I popped the screws in and mounted it on the wall.
The initial startup had me go through a short setup process. Although typing with a remote is a pain, it wasn't as time consuming as it could have been. This is when I found out that the remote seems to be particularly picky/sensitive about how and where it's aimed. It's not unbearable but definitely annoying. On a brighter note it seems like the remote has started working a little better after about a day but still isn't great.
After the setup process I went straight for the 3D. I used my PS3 and tried cars 2 3D and Brave 3D. I'm honestly impressed. I wasn't expecting much to begin with but its way above my expectations. Less gimmicky than I thought it would be thats for sure. It comes with 8 pairs of glasses which is nice as I am sure some will get lost or broken, especially with my 2 year old.
Next I tried some HD content. The picture is excellent, Much better than my LG or my old Vizio was. Everything looked stunning! Even my non-HD cable channels look better than they did on any of my other televisions.
On to the smart features. These also work better than expected. I don't think I will need to use my apple TV very often if at all anymore. The Netflix app is quick and responsive. Content looks superb and loads quickly.
The sound is better than my other LCD TV's but nothing special. I would recommend a soundbar.
I will update this review after I have a little more time with the TV and also after I have it calibrated.

What's great about it: Wireless sub and rear speakers, good sound, Bluetooth
What's not so great: Soundbar itself is fairly tall and may not sit in front of your tv without blocking part of it
This system is simple to setup and sounds great. I like that it comes with all of the mounting hardware and cables. I had them match Costcos price at $229.99 and for that price I don't think you can find anything better. I'm sure this isn't for audiophiles even though I think it sounds great but more for people just getting into surround sound or people like me that like to keep it simple and have some extra oomph for movie nights. I highly recommend this system especially if you have a new vizio m series tv. They go great together and the m series tv is a phenomenal tv for the price. I just exchanged my 65" for the 70".

What's great about it: Waterproof, Array of colors available, Slim and somewhat stylish
What's not so great: Screen protector bubbles up way to much at the bottom
I will keep this short and sweet.
I bought the tan colored Lifeproof case as it seemed to be produced recently and I liked the color.
I returned this case after 2 weeks. I gave it enough time for the screen protector to 'settle down' (as some have referred to it) but it never did.
I love the fact that this case is waterproof.
I dislike the fact that you have to pay extra for the warranty to cover your device while it's in the case.
I really liked how thin the case was considering the protection.
I dislike the fact that the screen protector is raised up so far off of the screen.
Some people say they exchanged theres and they received an 'updated' version that doesn't have the gap. I don't have time to continuously exchange a product in hopes of one day receiving one that works properly.

Would life proof case for the iPhone 5 work for the iPhone 5C?
I just got a 5C and I planned on getting a life proof for it, but I see there isn't one.
No it will not. the iPhone 5c is thicker than the iPhone 5.
iPhone 5 cases will fit the iPhone 5s though.
