Purchased this for my SP4. Obviously a necessity for the Surface. Very comfortable to use as a laptop on the couch.

Great value for older Pro owners

I own a Surface Pro 4. Since only the latest generation supports the tilt sensitivity for the 99 dollar Surface Pen, I felt like this Wacom pen was a much better value, for 30% less and it includes multiple tips. I believe for the Surface Pen you have to buy a kit for 20 bucks to try different tips.. Very happy with it.

Thin case, has held up well
on June 3, 2017
Posted by: Steve
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had an S7 with no case at all for almost a year before having to have it replaced under warranty by AT&T due to a bad battery. I got this case to protect the replacement from scratches as I have another phone in my pocket for work. Nice value, low price and thin but still high quality. Have had it for almost 3 months with no issues.

Does not fit phone properly

This screen protector sticks up at the edges due to the slightly curved screen of the S7 (not edge). Has already cracked up and down the sides of the screen protector on my device in less than a month.

Samsung SmartThings Arrival Sensor: Stay informed when people enter and leave your home with this arrival sensor. Just connect to your SmartThings hub and your Apple® iOS, Android or Windows mobile device to receive alerts on the go. You can also set up the sensor to trigger lights to turn on and unlock your door when you arrive home and shut lighting off and lock the door when you leave.

Too finicky to be useful to everyone
on November 27, 2016
Posted by: Steve
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this with the hopes of overcoming the limitations of my wife's iPhone 6s for arrival sensing on Smartthings. If she hasnt kept her phone awake (or at least tapped the home button before driving into the neighborhood), the system doesn't register her as home and does not open the garage door until she's waiting outside the door. I have no such problem with my GS7, and hoped that the keyfob arrival sensor would be a good compromise. It turns out to be even worse. Even using a zigbee repeater in a window on the front of the house, the range is too limited. I imagine it could be useful for kids arriving home from school. That's about it.

Experience the ultimate convenience with the Lutron Caseta Wireless dimmer and Pico remote control. The wireless dimmer gives you the ability to set the right light for any activity whether it's reading, watching TV, entertaining or having a casual dinner. Control the lights from anywhere in the room by using the Pico remote control either in your hand, on a tabletop pedestal (sold separately) or by mounting the remote directly to the wall. You can even use the Pico remote to control the lights from your car as you arrive home. The remote lets you turn lights ON/OFF as well as brighten or dim them. With the Lutron Smart Bridge and app, you can control your Caseta Wireless dimmers with your Smartphone from anywhere. The dimmer works up to 600-Watt of incandescent or halogen and 150-Watt of dimmable LED or dimmable CFL.

I love these dimmers! They work extremely well with several brands of LED bulbs. The pico remotes are great for adding a "3 way" switch without the help of an electrician. I now have 5 caseta dimmers and am very happy with them.

Have this tied into my SmartThings system, using a GE zwave wall switch inside to turn on both the permanent wall deck light and an outdoor lamp connected to this outdoor plug. Works very well so far. No noticeable delay.

Great product for your smart home

I now have 5 Protects and one Nest Thermostat and am pretty pleased with them so far. I have integrated them with SmartThings using community device handlers to get the best of both systems.
I was hoping that the protects would be ok for a location near my kitchen (as they are photoelectric) but they are sensitive enough to go off from cooking bacon. They are very easy to silence from the app, however even when silenced they trigger lights if you have that integrated. I will be moving that unit farther from the kitchen as a result.

Google Chromecast Audio: Stream your favorite music with Google Chromecast Audio. Simply plug into your speaker's auxiliary input and connect to your Wi-Fi network. Then just tap the Cast button from your favorite apps on your phone, tablet or computer to cast songs, radio stations and podcasts to your speaker.
 

will this connect to a bose radio auxiliary input?

This will link to any auxiliary input that accepts a 3.5mm plug. It has a pretty decent quality DAC as well. You can also purchase an optical cable online for superior sound if your AVR has a better DAC.

Take control of your situation and get your taxes done right with TurboTax 2015. TurboTax Premier is designed to meet your needs, so you can earn your money, and keep more of your investment and rental property income. The software coaches you every step of the way and searches for applicable deductions and credits based on simple questions that you've answered about your situation. TurboTax Premier provides extra help to maximize more than 350 deductions and credits, including tax saving rental property deductions. It is also up to date with the newest tax and healthcare laws, so you can be sure each facet of the process is accounted for. Receive specialized guidance for handling your stocks, bonds, mutual funds and employee stock plans. The software automatically imports W-2s, investment and mortgage information from participating companies and transfer info from last year's TurboTax or other software for a seamless workflow.
 

I have a laptop and a desktop. Can I download Premier onto both computers?

I could be mistaken, but I believe the limitation with this software is with the number of times you can file, not the number of times you install. I did not attempt to install on another computer, but I did read before purchasing that you cannot use this product to file more than one return.
