Super convenient
on July 29, 2017
Posted by: seaDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great to have a portable charger that has both lightning and micro-USB cables/connectors built in. This one wasn't too expensive (@$30 or $35 on sale, if I remember correctly), so we got this size (4400mAh), rather than the larger capacity one that was almost double the cost (but not double the capacity). For short trips or day-to-day backup power, this has been great.

Good cable

Verified Purchase:Yes
Feels sturdy, connectors feel solid, and the length is just perfect for charging while reading in bed. Package does not indicate that it's MFi certified or not, but I haven't gotten any alert saying "this accessory is not compatible" or anything like that. So, solid in that regard as well.

Better feel than HDX
on July 28, 2017
Posted by: seaDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
Was very easy to apply, no spraying, bubbles, gel or anything; just line it up, and press in the middle to have it almost apply itself. The surface feels better than the tackier feel of the HDX or original Zagg. Only quibble is that it takes a couple hours for the edges to completely seal with the surface/screen, which makes it looks like it has air bubbles on the edges (which doesn't really make any sense, because the bubble could just release to the unstuck edge).

Excellent smartwatch, especially at <$100
on July 28, 2017
Posted by: seaDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
Great screen, good layout, and does all the smartwatch/fitness tracker functions I need. Only down side (versus the Apple Watch) is the inability to respond to texts directly on the Gear Fit 2. However, the Gear Fit 2 is also water resistant, has longer battery life (which allows sleep tracking), and still does everything else I need.

Sounds great, and very easy to set up and pair with my iOS devices. Great battery life, looks good, very happy with the purchase. Not sure I'd pay full price, but getting it on sale was why I gave it a high rating.

Snap this X-Doria Defense Edge case onto your 42mm Apple Watch to protect its edges against scratches and bumps. The case has a strong anodized aluminum exterior and a soft rubber lining so the metal doesn't touch the watch. This X-Doria Defense Edge case is compatible with selected Apple Watch wristbands (not included).

Looks great, adds some protection
on February 13, 2017
Posted by: seaDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
It looks pretty nice, even with a different color band. Adds just enough protection, but without too much bulk or distracting bumpers or logos. I used to use the zagg invisible shield, but found that the zagg didn't stay on the rounded corners very well (would just start peeling, and would have to stick it back down/reinstall). Anyway, I like it a lot.

Nice battery case, could use some tweaks
on February 13, 2017
Posted by: seaDad
Verified Purchase:Yes
My son liked the blue one, so we got it, and it's not a bad look (he used to use a black mophie, before he dumped it into a puddle). Good battery life, easy to use, etc... Couple of tweaks would make it a bit better; the battery charges via micro-USB, but the phone uses a lightning connector, so he has to switch out the case for some accessories. Also, since it's bulkier (because, hey, it's an external battery), it wouldn't add too much additional bulk to make the whole thing waterproof.

Really like this band

It's comfortable, pretty lightweight, and it's black so goes with pretty much everything. The buckle is secure, better for me than the regular sport strap with the little button. Easy to wipe clean if needed as well.

My teenager has an apple watch, and needed a strap that was sweatproof, and also more secure than the regular sport strap. This one has a regular buckle so worked better for him.

Does the gps feature work without the phone, i want to track my run without needing my phone.

Apparently it does, just have to sync when you get back and connect with the phone. Unfortunately, I don't run much, so I haven't used this particular function.

My wrist is 6 1/2 inches. Should I get the small or large one?

Small. I have a 7.5" wrist, and I got the small. I also ordered a band with a "regular" wristwatch clasp from Amazon, which works better for me anyway.

Where can I get the wall plug for the charger for the gear fit 2. Seems it doesn't come with it

If you're looking for the block that plugs into the wall, into which the Gear Fit2 magnetic base's cable fits, that's just a standard USB block, so you can use any USB plug. If you're looking for a replacement or extra Gear Fit 2 magnetic base, check Amazon.

Store music, photos, documents and more with this EMTEC ECMMD8GM700BM09 flash drive, which features USB 2.0 for an easy connection and up to 5MB/sec. write speeds for fast data transfer. The Joker design lets you show off your love of comic books.
 

I found 2 items I want that say "Free Shipping" and when I go to order them it says "shipping not available"?

SanDisk - Cruzer Edge 16GB USB 2.0 Type A Flash Drive - Black/Red (67)On Sale: $4.99

EMTEC - Joker 8GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive - Black (84) Clearance: $2.99
I think it means that it's not available for shipping, but only available in retail stores for pickup. In other words, not available in their warehouses or from their suppliers, but you may be able to find them in your local store (searching by zip code). So, it's more like, "shipping free" (meaning, shipping not required) rather than free shipping.

Can files be copied through citrix?

I have several macs at home and would like to copy document files from my office PC connected to my macs through Citrix. I have recently had surgery and cannot go to the office to copy documents directly from my PC there. I would like to write those documents onto the flash drive from my Mac by copying them from the PC citrix screen that appears on my Mac and eventually install them as I need them onto one of my Macs at home. Will this be possible?
Maybe -- depends on how Citrix is set up at the office, and what privileges/permissions you have. In a previous workplace where we used Citrix, we'd have to map the local machine on the virtual office PC (through control panel). So, if you wanted to print locally from the office PC, you'd have to install the local printer from the office PC control panel, so I'd think you could map a local flash drive from the PC.

Another way of doing it would be to upload the docs from the office PC to dropbox or google docs, etc..., and download to the local Mac. Depending on your connections, that may be faster or slower.
