Glass Elite tempered glass screen protection is 5x stronger than traditional glass screen protection. Its ClearPrint surface treatment makes fingerprints seem to disappear on your Samsung Galaxy Tab S9+. It also has reinforced edges to prevent cracks from starting and spreading, and a smooth, silky feel.

Randomly found this in the back of a BB store, and picked it up because I didn't need to fight with the megacorp that usually sells these, then wait for it to be delivered.
Worth the price, and the time savings to get it at BB.

Needed to upgrade/consolidate all the various battery charging devices I've managed to collect over the years in my travel bag, esp. since they tend to die over time. There's a number of these that you can get at BB depending on what you want to spend, and what you're using it to charge, so take your time looking for options. Used Anker products in the past, which is why I went with this model.

Needed to get this version of charging cable due to the plan obsolescence of phones these days (after 3y, why would your phone need to hold a charge?), and given that airports don't generally have USB-C compatibility, having multiples of these is useful.

Why settle for a small, single-monitor display when one simple connection can improve your viewing experience? This Best Buy Essentials BE-PCDPHD6 6' DisplayPort to HDMI Cable is the one-step solution to taking your viewing experience to the next level. This lengthy 6 ft. cable mirrors or extends the display from your DisplayPort device to an HDMI-supported monitor—without the use of a separate cable or adapter. It supports resolutions up to 1920 × 1080 at 60 Hz for high-quality video (and audio is supported when provided by the source). It has 24K gold plating to help guard against corrosion and loss of quality. Its classic black design even matches your other computer accessories, making this adapter a great way to expand your viewing experience.

Needed a set of these for my work office so I could run a dual-monitor setup on a newer Dell laptop hub (thanks for wasting my money, my corporate overlords on the old hard dock station and going with this new one that needs special cables).
Oh, and thanks to my local BB store which HID these behind a service counter to push the more expensive versions on the sales floor.

For the amount of money spent on electronics in the first place, let alone replacement costs, getting additional protection is very worth it to me...more 3 years out, for many people who don't take good care of their gear, seems to be when they'd damage/destroy things anyway.
You may not think it's worth it...so consider the cost of having to find and buy what you're getting all over again before you pass this up.

You're paying for the Sony name here, really. This alarm clock has decent enough features, and the size is pretty compact (so it won't take up a large footprint on a nightstand or wherever you keep your alarm clock).
My biggest issues with it are the price ($29.99!), and the volume of the alarm sound - it does ramp up to get "louder" and there's also a slider to make it "louder" on the side, but I'm thinking a pile of sleeping kittens would make more noise to wake me up in the morning than this thing.
I've also found that seems to have a slight "down" angle on the face of the clock, and since it sits so low, it always seems to take extra effort to look at the time.
If you can find the alarm clocks at your local BB, maybe look at other examples before you settle on this one.

Given the lack of GameStop stores the are convenient to my home, was wandering around BB looking for something else when I spotted this. It's a good way to put money in your Steam Wallet for when something you want to buy is on sale (or if you want to pay full price, your choice), and it's one less place in digital commerce where stored credit card info could be swiped...and I know I'm going to buy stuff from Steam anyway, so the money isn't going to waste.

Can this cord be used to hook up a sound bar to a movie projector?

This is a data transfer cable...you're going to need a regular connection cable, unless you're moving some type of files between a sound bar and a movie projector?
There's way better, and much better priced, cables for hooking up a sound bar to a movie projector.

Why is the cord only 4 feet?? That's almost too short to be practical.

If 4' of keyboard cable is too short for you, then you can buy cable extenders to add more length.
Depending on how much length you need and what you're using the keyboard for, you might want to go wireless instead.

 CORSAIR - PLATINUM K95 Wired Gaming Mechanical Cherry MX Brown Switch Keyboard with RGB Backlighting
CORSAIR - PLATINUM K95 Wired Gaming Mechanical Cherry MX Brown Switch Keyboard with RGB Backlighting
Take gaming to the next level with this CORSAIR K95 RGB gaming keyboard. This keyboard’s customizable LED backlighting delivers a multicolor light show and makes the unit easier to use in the dark. Mechanical key switches and 18 fully programmable G-keys make this CORSAIR K95 RGB gaming keyboard an asset in any virtual world.
 

Which switch for the K95 is the QUIETEST? Not a gamer but i do lots of typing. Thank you

From what I've seen in the industry standards, your Cherry MX Blue and Brown would be the loudest, with your MX Red being quieter.
However, this is relative to an individual, and there are benefits/drawbacks to the keypress timing, etc. between the different switches.
I honestly recommend you try the various types out and see what works for you.

Also - be careful between keyboard manufacturers...some of them like to call "their" switches different things than the industry "standard", thus confusing the customer even more.

Are the dimensions listed with or without the hand rest attached?

I believe they're listed w/o the wrist rest attached. It's not terribly large and adding to the depth of the keyboard. I personally use it because I'm typing a fair amount in the games I'm in.

The pictures for this keyboard shows two different gray keycap set ups. Does the keyboard come with these textured keycaps and you can choose to put them in or not? I would like WASD textured the way one picture shows.

Yes. It has a shrink-wrapped set of the extra grey keys that you can optionally choose to put on the keyboard, if you wish.
