I wanted something to protect the edge of my 42mm iWatch as I am always bumping my arm into things while I work. While it does not look as nice as the stainless case itself, it's a small compromise for everyday protection and easy to remove when I don't need it.

Eero is a great router for those who just want to set the admin access password and go. If you want a VPN or want to make changes in it's setup, this may not be for you so 4 stars. Distributed setup in the three unit package is great for larger homes, homes with masonary walls or lots of remote cameras or devices.

We wanted a cover and a keyboard for our new 12.9" iPad Pro. We were shown the Logitech Create but were concerned about the price. It has been a very good purchase for us and we are hoping it will help save the touch screen. I love the way it and the iPad interact when opened. The screen activates automatically and the iPad locks magnetically at a great viewing angle. I am a bit concerned about how long the hinge will last as it feels flimsy so therefore only 4 stars.

Apple - 12.9- Inch iPad Pro with Wi-Fi - 256 GB - Space Gray
With its epic Retina display, the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is the largest and most capable iPad ever. It has a powerful A9X chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, four speaker audio, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, ultrafast Wi-Fi and LTE connectivity,1 and up to 10 hours of battery life.2 And with powerful iOS 9 features like multitasking, built-in apps, and more in the App Store, iPad Pro elevates productivity and creativity to a whole new level. Yet iPad Pro is only 6.9mm thin and weighs just over 1.5 pounds. When you add Apple Pencil with its pixel-perfect precision, and the incredibly thin Smart Keyboard, iPad Pro becomes even more versatile.*

After years of computer angst, my husband finally expressed an interest in learning to do his own product searches and email.. He got interested in my original version 1 iPad but got frustrated when we could no longer upgrade the OS and apps would not work. Our new 12.9 inch iPad Pro is a dream for him. Very fast and easy for him to read the paper online. He is also enjoying the new apps we can now get due to the newer OS. I am loving the larger screen and FaceTime capabilities. We are very pleased with.the purchase.

I bought this as an open box item on clearance. Even though I did not get instructions I was able to install it in my attic using online information.. It is very directional and might be better with a rotor for easier adjustment if towers are in different directions as ours are. I had to install a preamp with it to pick up towers 30 miles away and feed to DTV converter boxes on multiple TVs, but it is worth it to no longer have to deal with the cable company. We tried it outside on 20ft pole where there was less interference from roof, but decided to mount it indoors due to the plastic being in the Texas summer sun. I like it but it does not go 50 miles where we are located.

Do I need amp for 50' coax?

I'm placing this unit outside on a mast and it will be connected to a four room splitter. Will I need any kind of amplifier to get signals?
I would suggest a preamp attached on the mast with a short cable to the antenna if you have any DTV converter boxes on older tube TVs or are 25+ miles from the towers.

is a digital converter box required for these antennas?

Only if you have the older tube type TVs. Any of the newer flat screen TVs (after 2007) usually have the ATSC/NTSC tuners built in.

How many TVs can I hook this up to and use at the same time?

With a Preamp added to my attic installation, I am able to do multiple TV sets. The DTV converter boxes really cut the signal strength and number of channels that come in at my location, but the flat screens have no problem. It really depends on the existing installed cable too. Use RG6 coax for any new cables you install.

What channels do you get. is there a guide that comes with antenna. How many channels.

Check tvfool.com or antennaweb.org to see what channels you can expect at your address. TVfool will give you a graph showing which directions the towers are from your locations. I bought mine as an open box item so I did not get directions, but I found some information on the manufacturers site. Plan on only getting green, yellow, or blue channels. Anything beyond that is questionable. I found that the 50 miles range was not true for my location with an attic installation. Rooftop installation increases the distance.

Can you amplify signal?

I only got 4 channels. I installed in attic of my condo. Most of the TV stations are 50 miles or more away. Is there a way to increase reception?
You can try a Winegard LMA 200 or a hi gain Channel Master Preamp but they will only boost the signal strength as received at the antenna. Mounting it on the eaves outside may increase the signal strength since it doesn't have to go through the roof materials, especially if it is a metal roof. Have you checked tvfool.com to see how many stations you can realistically expect to receive at your address? They will tell you what directions the towers are as this antenna is very directional at longer distances.

is there a certain type of coax cable that needs to b used with this antenna?

I would definitely use the screw on type RG6 coax cables for better signal strength, especially if you need to use DTV converter boxes on your TV sets or you need a longer cable length to your TV. Use a booted outdoor rated cable if you are installing it outdoors. The push on cables you get with some equipment are not good unless you are close to the transmission towers and the antenna is right next to the TV. The older RG 59U coax cable has more signal loss per ft and probably will not give as good results as the RG6 for HDTV 1080p use.
