This case does not work if you are using the battery mod pack. That is the ONLY reason I took the case back and believe me, I want a case but I also want one that fits the phone with the battery mod pack installed. So...If you don't mind that one little detail, then yes, I recommend this case.
But for me? Nope. And again, this is the ONLY reason I did not keep the case.

It's a very good cell phone. Other than having my Pandora and SiriusXM accounts on it, I just use it as a (*GASP*) cell phone! And it works just fine. Plenty of RAM and on-board memory. Plenty of "speed" via the processor if that's what you neeeeed!

Look, it's a toothbrush. Yeah, I know exciting, huh? But if you ain't go your teeth not only do you sound like a mush-mouth but you'll be eating nothing but mush, oatmeal and the like.
This device flat works. You just need to use it! I recommend it because it works really well and I know it'll help keep my teeth where they belong - in my mouth instead of in a glass of water by the bed, LOL!

While that is true, I should like to point out that I don't give presents that I don't think are worthy of the person I am buying for. These were for our son and he takes them on hikes and to the gym. They are used several times a week. Outside the smart-watch we gave him I cannot think of another gift that has proven as useful. So far... :-)

This is my first ever "foiled" electric shave and I have nothing but praise for it. I was gong to get one of the more expensive models but decided to give this one a try first and if it lasts more than a year, I may "move up".
So far I've seen no need to move up because this little razor treats my face like a mother caresses her baby. It works as advertised and that means it gets the job done on my face without doing a job on my face!
I very much recommend this razor! And since it's for me, I bought the protection warranty. Like the razor, it was reasonably priced so that even if I don't ever need it, it's there to give me peace of mind.

… I do that?'
I bought two of these as Christmas gifts and both recipients have had nothing but praise for the iPad Mini4. Not a single complaint.
Nope. Not one. And I have been thanked more than a few times which shows me that this was a gift worth giving. I also bought AppleCare and a Bluetooth keyboard/cover for them as they are portable and subject to damage. Peace of mind.

The Pioneer GM-DX874 four-channel amplifier delivers 100 watts RMS at 4 ohms to each of your front and rear speakers for powerful music. CTA-2006 compliant, this highly efficient Class D technology provides impressive, high-quality power in a compact chassis. The frequency response extends up to 50,000 Hz, supporting crystal-clear Hi-Res Audio Certified playback. The GM-DX874 uses high-grade electronic components and gold-plated RCA connections to ensure maximum performance. You can configure your amplifier into 3-channel mode (4 ohm loads) to create a strong front soundstage (2x 75 watts RMS) with tight bass from the bridged subwoofer (1x 300 watts RMS). The speaker-level inputs allow you to install this amp in a factory system without RCA connections. Built-in high-pass and low-pass filters let you optimize the sound for your vehicle's interior. A wired bass control remote also lets you easily control the amount of bass from the subwoofer output (SW).
 

Does this amplifier make a loud "POP!" when turning the audio system off or on, or does it have relays to prevent this annoying problem. I ask because the last time I put an amp in my truck (albeit years ago), the speakers did just that.

Shoot amazing videos and photos with the Ultra Wide, Wide, and Telephoto cameras. Capture your best low-light photos with Night mode. Watch HDR movies and shows on the 6.5-inch Super Retina XDR display ~ the brightest iPhone display yet.~ Experience unprecedented performance with A13 Bionic for gaming, augmented reality (AR), and photography. And get all-day battery life~ and a new level of water resistance.~ All in the first iPhone powerful enough to be called Pro.
 

Would anyone care to remark on how Apple CarPlay is compared to Android Auto? I have the latter and it kinda SUCKS as it often doesn't recognize the phone is plugged in or when I speak to it it will turn the radio UP LOUD and not hear me, etc? Thx!

My TV has a horrid "mosaic" affect on deep blacks that cannot be adjusted away. Also, this new TV "communicates" with my Denon AVR and turns on the AVR and starts turning on media players like Blu Ray and UHD Disc players. I hate this!!! HELP!!!!!

Thank you Roseb. The TV is hooked up properly and other than you kind reply I've found nothing to alleviate my problems with an otherwise fine TV.

I am giving it back under warranty. I have long since grown weary of they way this thing turns every freaking device on unless and worse. I have asked Hisense here for help but NOooooOOoooooooo!!!!!

I am thinking of moving my computer and hooking it up to a tv. I play high tech fast action games and looking for a tv that will handle the speed. I'm told the refresh rate is a major importance. I'm looking hopefully for a tv about 65 inch.

In gaming mode the refresh rate is 144Hz.

Does this have a fiber optic output

The TV has a Toslink/Optical Output. The TV is the audio source and as such it does not have an Optical input.

Two questions: I heard the U8K drops the HDMI signal, especially when using an HDMI splitter. Has this been a problem for anyone? I use an HDMI splitter to hook up multiple gane consoles. Also, have people run into dirty screen effect with the U8K?

8K is not widely (if at all) available via streaming. I spoke with my son who is an avid gamer and he said it isn't much of a deal in that environment.

If you split your source you are likely to suffer signal degradation unless you insert a device too boost said signal.

And, with Dolby Atmos and an upgraded 50w 2.1.2 multi-channel audio system, the U8 creates an immersive cinema experience in your home. In additon, the U8 is compatible with the new Wifi 6E router protocol and includes a NEXTGEN TV ATSC 3.0 tuner making the U8 virtually future-proof. With the Google TV OS and Hands-Free Voice Control, searching for and playing all your favorite content is simple and seamless. Just say ~Hey Google~. The U8 also got more upgrades for the gaming enthusiast including a 144Hz VRR panel, Dolby Vision Gaming and FreeSync Premium Pro for an enhanced gaming experience. And, be2er also just got bigger with the U8H now available in an 85~ screen size.
 

Can you use an Amazon Fire Stick with this TV, even though it’s Google? Apparently the cable company I am joining says they give you an amazon fire stick. Want to be sure it works with this TV. Thanks

Yes you can. I have done so via direct input of my Fire Stick 4K to the TV or via inputting the Firestick 4K into my Denon AVR-X4300H and it works superbly!

Do TV's with Tuner Type ATSC 3.0 (NextGen TV) also work with atsc 1.0 signal?

The standards are backward compatible. I hope this proves helpful to you!

What is the Ethernet port's maximum BPS achievable.

I have found it to be fast enough for 4K films via Disney +, Amazon and MAX. My wireless hardwired speeds regularly exceeed 700+ MPS and wired is up to 1 Gig +.

There is no buffering of film or music as I sometimes use the TV for Atmos Encoded music.

Does the tv have clear picture when viewed at an angle or is it better viewed straight on

No complaints so far with this aspect of ownership! This TV is overall the best I have owned!
