One of these days, Apple and other phone manufacturers will have a common cable to connect cell phones to AC power for charging. Until that time, I had to buy this for my wife’s droid phone which I charge at the same time as my iPhone. Quality of this cable is excellent.

Get the perfect viewing angle with this Targus rotating case. It fits your 12.9-inch iPad Pro (1st Gen & 2nd Gen) so that it's adequately protected, and it lets you select the perfect angle for viewing so that you can do so in comfort. A padded front cover on this Targus rotating case incorporates elastic closures to keep the screen safe.

Excellent case but...

I bought this case for my iPad pro, 12.9” model primarily to facilitate me using the iPad in portrait mode instead of landscape. While it works, I find the transistion from landscape mode awkward and cumbersome. Other than that, it is a good case, albeit a bit pricey.

Five ports offer 5X Ethernet so you can plug and play without missing a beat. Power is reduced to unused ports on this Linksys five-port gigabit switch, saving you money by reducing energy costs.

Reasonably Priced Ethernet Switch

Verified Purchase:Yes
There typically isn't much to say about an ethernet switch--it either works or doesn't. Mine works, it was fairly priced and I prefer Linksys to other brands if given an option. In short, works great and does its job.The selling price at Best Buy was about the same as Amazon's and I didn't have to wait for it! The unit feels sturdy and has 5 ports.

Very good inexpensive router

Verified Purchase:Yes
I bought this for my 87 year old father in law. He doesn't need the latest technology (ac) and he didn't want a bunch of gaudy antennas visible either. This unit was perfect--it is hardly visible unlike most dual band ac routers. Easy to update the firmware and establish a decent password scheme. Wireless range is acceptable and Ethernet ports worked fine too. For the money, this is a great router.

do i have to get my internet provider involved or can i just plug in and go? thanks

You should not have to get your ISP involved--should be plug and play. If you were changing your modem, yes--the ISP needs the serial number and (or) the MAC address from the modem. The router is after the modem so contacting the ISP should not be necessary--unless something very unusual occurs, but usually adding a router is very easy--be sure and update the firmware and use good security with a strong hard to remember password like FvB$k18tGk&. Just remember to document the password in a convenient place. However, even if you lose the password, you can reset the router to its original condition--but then you have to enter in all the information you added, so a hassle, but a manageable problem to have.
