Despite the fact that I purchased this open box, and there was evidently a hairline crack in the case that expanded after we received it (we didn't drop it or anything, but it cracked) - this case and keyboard combo is awesome. Zagg is awesome too - they replaced the case no questions asked under their warranty. Keyboard connects flawlessly to both the Pro, another iPad and the AppleTV without issues. The full sized keyboard is great typing on, and when you don't need the keyboard, the magnetic grips for the case pull apart easily enough so you just have the iPad. Highly recommend this for anyone that types a lot on their iPad. My only wish is that the Apple Smart Cover worked with this product - but then again, the magnets holding in the case to the keyboard wouldn't be as effective.

Lucy is based on some pretty sketchy scientific theories, however, the beautiful Scarlett is excellent in this movie. Think Black Widow type of action sequences. Can be graphic for those weak in the stomach. It's a cool ride and fun to watch. I recommend seeing it and buying it.

Purchased this refurbished model for a 3rd TV to have an Apple TV on, at a price point that was really nice between the sale and some rewards I had - made it a no-brainer. Did not come with original packaging but included the power cable, remote and unit itself. Works perfectly and I am 100% satisfied with the quality of the product.

Gravity was my favorite, now this one is. Very realistic, with a lot of actual science in it, as much as you can get with an engaging story in a Hollywood movie. Highly recommended if you liked Gravity, or if you like a good story of survival.

Caveat - Ever After is still my favorite live action Cinderella story, but this one rates right up there with it. Very magical, the costume design is amazing. The story is the basic Cinderella story from the cartoon - if you love that, you'll love this!

The smart cover from Apple may be more expensive than other options, but I've found over the iterations of iPads that I've owned, the Apple covers tend to stick around longer than some of the cheapies. My iPad Air is 2 1/2 years old now, and the Apple cover has been on it more than any other I've purchased for it over the years. Simple and does the job. Stays clean, and is durable. Should be something you just get with an iPad.

When I heard that Ant-Man was to be made, I was very skeptical about how it would turn out. I was also a bit skeptical about Paul Rudd as a superhero. But, as it turns out, this one is right up there with the first Avengers and the Captain America movies. It's my wife's #1 favorite Marvel movie. I recommend if you haven't seen it, and like the Marvel franchise, you need to see it. Instant favorite! And it is one of the best 3D movies at home too - it was made for it!

So this case does it's job, and does it well - waterproof, scragtchproof, etc, etc. But when in the case, the speakers are a little muffled - worse yet, the mic is evidently covered too much - others cannot hear you well when speaking on the phone or via FaceTime. If you use a bluetooth headset or Apple Watch, you won't have this issue (as my wife does), but you should know that if you don't, you won't like how people continually tell you they can't hear you talking. Marking "would recommend to a friend", but with the caveat that only if they used some sort of bluetooth device to answer/make phone calls.

Many people think that these keep your phone screen from breaking, which is not necessarily the case. But it does keep the phone glass from shattering and falling out, should you break your screen. Also keeps the phone screen safe from being scratched (a must have if you do the yearly upgrade programs, as you can't have a scratched screen). If you have animals/pets, there will come a day when a claw contacts the front of your phone.

Purchased this to protect the iPhone from scratches and chose it because it was clear. Not sure how much protection this will provide to the screen, but it was cheap and does what I was looking for it to do - show off the color of my iPhone, keep the back from getting scuffed, and easily switchable should I buy another one later.

The ice is not clear. It's not as bad as other ice makers I've seen, but it does have cloud.

If the width is 15" then why is the cut out dimension width 22". Would this unit fit into an 18" wide space?

Not sure about the 22" cut out dimension... I have it in a 15" space under a counter.

does this machine keep ice frozen until ready for use even if left for a few days

Yes. it keeps ice cold. I keep it on, and then pull the ice out and put it in our main floor freezer when that bin is low on ice. I do notice some ice evaporation (ice slowly gets smaller) as it stays in it for more than a couple days.

 GE - Smart Lighting Control In-Wall Add-On Switch
GE - Smart Lighting Control In-Wall Add-On Switch
Stop worrying about leaving the lights on with this GE Smart Lighting Control 12723 switch, which connects to the wiring in your home via 3-way or 4-way configurations to give you remote control of your lighting via your smartphone, tablet or computer.
 

Will this work with the hue hub and app?

First off, the Auxiliary Switch does not work on it's own - it's meant for using with a primary switch in 2, 3 or 4 switch setups (such as when you have a switch for a hall light on each end of the hallway). You need this: GE Z-Wave 960-Watt CFL-LED Indoor In-Wall On/Off Rocker Switch - which is more expensive than the Auxiliary switch, but required for a single switch setup or as the primary in a multi-switch setup.

Second, the GE switches are Z-wave devices. The Hue does not control Z-wave devices. So the short answer is no.

There are Z-wave controller devices that will pair with the Hue gateway that will allow a hybrid controller system, where the hybrid Z-wave controllers can talk to the Hue and control what Hue controls. http://www.vesternet.com/resources/using-z-wave-and-philips-hue-together - go here for more info.

What app controls the switch?

The aux/add-on switch model 12723 is not controlled by an app and will not work stand alone. You need model 12722 to act as the master. 12722 will connect to any hub or controller that accepts z-wave.

12722 model is the master, and is z-wave. The Aux switch 12723 connects to 12722 master. 12723 will not work stand alone.

I have a three way light that I turn on or off from two different switches. Would I have to replace both switches,if I use the GE model 12723 ?

You have to replace one light switch with model 12722 and one light switch with the aux switch 12723. 12722 is a master, and the aux switch connects to it.

Does this switch work with a myQ Chamberlain gateway

This auxiliary switch only works as a secondary switch with the Z-Wave master switch (such as the GE Z-Wave 960-Watt CFL-LED Indoor In-Wall On/Off Rocker Switch). It connects to the primary switch, and the primary switch will connect to a gateway. You need to check compatibility of the master with your gateway. Mine is used with Vivint home security panel.

This vacuum is good for dogs hair?

We have 4 Siberian huskies and 2 cats - constant shedding. Hair is a daily battle. This vacuum keeps up even better than the Dyson ball we've used for 8 years prior. We broke 3 other big brand vacuums in short order due to the amount of hair and use. The older Dyson kept up like no other (and still works, we just wanted to upgrade) - and this new Cinetic vacuum works even better!
