I bought this to replace a Targus Matrix RG0322 backpack that I've had for many years. This is even better (e.g. dedicated pocket for sunglasses, doesn't have a floppy handle, and can hold water bottles).
This is roomy, sturdy, stands up, and has numerous compartments, which is great for organizing. This really helps when I travel, because I know that I will put my metal in a certain pocket. It's also great for other times, because there are places for my cell phones (test devices), USB cables and flash drives, chargers, snacks, etc.
There were some other contenders, two of which my sons got (Targus City Gear and High Sierra Swerve). I didn't want to confuse us by getting what they had (though I like this one for me better). Another SwissGear was also a strong contender (Blue Ibex 17" I think). This one won out.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought this to put a new SSD into an HP z840 workstation. It has a tool-less design, that allows 3.5" drives to slide in. However, the SATA and power connectors are fixed, and this mount put the drive about a quarter-of-an-inch away from where it needed to be. It would still work fine for other PCs, just not an HP workstation.

I do software development, and was running out of space. I've always had success with Samsung SSDs. I looked for one that I could get quickly, and found this one. It's worked great. It's not as fast as the new PCI-E interface (that I have in a laptop), but it's plenty fast. I've not had any problems with any of them.

We wanted to save some money, and a friend and my boss recommended Ooma. So far so good. It seems to work well. It drives the 3-4 phones (incl. base units with remotes) that I have (I plugged it into the wall outlet, and it works well). The only con seemed to be that they said it would take a few weeks to port my number. In the end though, it only took a few days (I installed it just before Christmas).

They called ahead of time, installed and demo'd the new dryer, hauled away the old dryer, etc. They were nice and courteous, and I'm pleased.

When we got a new dryer, we weren't allowed to use our old vent, and so we got this. It does the job.

This dryer cord is required for successful hook-up of your new appliance. Our delivery personnel will determine whether a 3- or 4-prong cord is needed based on the outlet behind your existing dryer.

We were going to get a dryer that matched the washer that we bought a few months ago, but saw that this one was rated much higher. It's been a good one. It's large and can handle the loads that we give it. It has a nice touch interface, but we've had to learn how to use it. For example, when you start it, it tries to start the same program you ran last time. If you did jeans last time, and are doing more-delicate things this time, you need to immediately program it. It reminds you to check the lint trap (good for my children:-). All in all, it's been a good dryer.

I bought this for doing online meetings (i.e. needed a microphone). It sounds fine, but squeezes my ears. Yet, it doesn't seal my around my ears. I do like having sound in both ears.

Can I use this with my office/desk phone that has a 2.5mm plug? I have some hard of hearing issues .. would this provide adequate volume increases?

It works with my cell phone, but I don't have a desk phone. The volume seems fine for me.
