Film is reliable, the camera not so great

Verified Purchase:Yes
Fuji Instax film for cameras of the same name works just fine, and develops adequate small photos (mostly for fun, not lasting preservation of memories), but overall I find the Instax camera so limited in it's ability to take shots well from distance, in shadow, or low light, that I rarely rely on the camera or the film for any shots that I truly want to preserve (a phone works better). But this type of film has no manufacturing flaws and performs exactly as intended.

Don't Expect HD Sound; does the job

Posted by: ChoosyInOC

Verified Purchase:Yes
Okay, if you're used to the sound fidelity of Beats or even the old around the neck units like Moto Buds or LG Tone - you will be disappointed by these lower priced buds. But given that I got these for $20 specifically to pair with my computer, my Chromebit on Smart TV, and the occasional pairing with my phone for talk radio over iHeart, I am plenty pleased. The bass (low) tones are over-weighted while treble (high) tones seem absent, and the overall sounds are a bit muted -- but they pair quickly and easily and haven't dropped Bluetooth connection once. The battery life is fair given the small size. The buds fit comfortably in my ears (but like other reviewers noticed, you can't jerk your head around without them coming loose - so not an ideal choice for vigorous exercise). The packaging is nice too. Just remember, these are not high end devices; but they get the job done for me.

Logitech Wireless Mouse Marathon M705 lets you power on... and on. It uses less power than comparable wireless mice from other companies, so you'll go up to three full years between battery changes.¹ And it uses a tiny wireless receiver that stays plugged in to your computer, so your mouse is ready to go-whenever, wherever, and for as long as it takes. Plus, hyper-fast scrolling means you'll fly through long documents to find what you need in a flash. Advanced Optical Tracking means you'll get smooth, responsive cursor control. And the sculpted, right-hand shape means you'll be as comfortable finishing up as you were getting started.

Comfortable, but not perfect

This mouse is a nice size for a desktop and fits comfortably in the (right) hand. I like the FWD/BACK browser buttons on the side, easily reached by the thumb with good tactile feedback. But the scroll wheel is a little chintzy - it has a I/O button on top that permits the scroll wheel to move in "clicks" or roll freely (called hyper-scrolling). Unfortunately on day two of use, this button became semi-broken, only working intermittently. Overall, I decided to keep the mouse rather than return it ... and I find it to be reasonably accurate (unless placed on a certain surfaces). The build quality is surprisingly not as "solid" feeling as I expected seeing it in the package, but it's passable. Battery life is not a concern to me, but this seems to have long life based on other reviews.

Still the flagship phone for Apple
on April 16, 2016
Posted by: ChoosyInOC
from Orange County, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
the iPhone has been around for years and still seems to remain the leader in smartphones that simply do what they are supposed to. As an Android and Apple user, I admit I love the customizable nature of Android - but grow frustrated at bugs and OS updates that foul up existing apps. But the Apple environment and OS (despite being pretty locked down in terms of hacks and customizable options) runs without a hiccup, and this iPhone 6s has reliable, lightning-fast processing and performance. The fingerprint reader is nearly foolproof and responds in no time to unlock the phone securely. The 128GB of storage on-board means no worrying about off-loading photos or music when the memory gets too full (like the 16GB version) - the extra $100 (it was on sale at Best Buy when I purchased) for the largest capacity model was well worth it.

Great Drive for LapTops & General Home/Office Use

Verified Purchase:Yes
Thumb drives have not really changed much in the last few years, because they don't really need to. This drive is like a reliable pick up truck - holds a lot of data, quickly and easily recognized by my computer, and has the retractable USB male plug and key-chain hole for easy portability. I think if I had any complaint is that it's larger than it needs to be (physical size, not storage size). I own other drives that are teeny-tiny (for use in my car's USB music access feature) so I prefer those (because they don't stick out far from a laptop port), but this was a great price, reliable brand, and you can never have too many around the house.

So small, but so tons of storage! Perfect 4 car!

thumb drives are a dime a dozen, & I have a lot of them. But I bought a new car that had a USB port in the center console to access all of my music. A normal thumbdrive stuck out way too far - but this tiny drive fit perfectly and took up almost no space - you can't even see its there. It's worked perfectly. Just plug and play, and now I can access my entire music catalog from my dashboard touch screen. I got it at a great price, & it has transformed my automotive music experience.

Very Handy, but not if you're in a hurry.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Okay, the ability to just set the phone down and charge it is undoubtedly cool. The blue LED light ring that illuminates below the charging pad disk offers a slick look, but if too close to the bed at night could be a bit annoying for some. I like the device, but it does charge much slower than the plug-in charger that comes with S6, so be prepared to watch those %'s tick up at a slow pace. I've also read that inductive charging is not great for the life of a battery because it creates extra heat... so leaving it on the charger all night could be a battery killer in the long-run (not sure about this). But overall, I'm glad S6 has wireless, and glad for this charger -- but even more glad that I took advantage of Best Buy's "free charger" offer when I bought the phone!

Great Phone, Fast & Feature Packed

Verified Purchase:Yes
Upgraded my S5 for the S6, and happy with my choice. There are some quirks to the phone and to Lollipop that take some getting used to, but overall love the fast processors, super fast camera, and haven't (yet) missed the removable/swappable SD card or battery. Had the phone a week, and no complaints. Wireless charging is a nice feature too, but still tend to use the speed charger since wireless induction is slower.

No Nonsense Functional Case/Stand
on January 10, 2015
Posted by: ChoosyInOC
from Orange County, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Let's be clear, it's not a "bells and whistles" folio. No keyboard, no special functions other than it nicely covers and protects your iPad Air, looks sleek, and doesn't add much weight to the device, while still allowing you to use the folio as a multi-angle viewing stand (which is one of my primary uses for the folio.) It has correctly-positioned openings for the camera, and the design is open edged, allowing you to easily attach your lightning cable without removing the case. Pure simple function, and seems to be well-constructed.

Functional, Good Looking, but not perfect
on January 10, 2015
Posted by: ChoosyInOC
from Orange County, CA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Pros: the case is sturdy, good looking, and professional in it's appearance (good in a business setting), and the interior corner-clips hold the Surface very tightly and safely. The multiple positions it can be folded into allow for versatility -whether typing on the touchscreen or with the soft keyboard (optional item). The folio has a kickstand on the rear (since placing the Surface in a case makes it impossible to use the tablet's built-in kickstand. This kickstand functions as well as the Surface's built-in, but it's held outward by a cardboard notch (making it function similar to a photo frame stand) and when you close the kickstand you must first push the cardboard wedge down, and then close the leather kickstand ... but the kickstand flap does not always sit back into place, leaving it stick out a few millimeters. This is no big deal function-wise, but it takes some of the sleek look away and I am not sure how this kickstand will hold up over time.

Is the mouse sonic( no clicking sound)
Scroll wheel has a slight click, but the right and left buttons definitely have the traditional mouse "click" sound when pressed.

Operating system dependance?
Which operating systems will this device work with? W Vista, W7, W8, w10 etc.
This drive should be recognized by all Windows Operating systems (XP and newer) and Apple OS as well. I ran it on Win 7, and Win 10 with no issues.

With an adjustable-length headband and soft leather ear pad, this Insignia™ NS-PAH5101 on-ear mono headset offers a comfortable, secure fit. The integrated microphone features noise cancellation to help ensure your voice is heard clearly.
microphone switching
Is there a switch that enables "talk" via the microphone. EG Talk only when switched? Insignia on ear analog monoheadset
Sounds like you are asking if there is some kind of dedicated mute switch. The answer would be no. You would only be able to mute the microphone by using the mute button on your actual telephone. There is however a volume rocker switch built into the line which comes in handy for lowering the listening volume. But I find no controls dedicated to the microphone specifically.

Is it true that you cannot swap batteries and SD cards?
If not, then I will never upgrade to this phone.
WHY would Samsung stoop to following Apple down this road? This is the main reason I'll NEVER have an Apple product. I've had several Samsung's, but will not buy another unless it has an SD card slot and swappable battery.

All true. But I thought it was a deal breaker too, but then I realized that I almost never, if ever, "swapped" SD cards (I bought a fast card, and left it in the phone for the most part.). And the battery issue? The only reason I ever swapped batteries was if the old one was dying or not charging, and I am hoping the battery in the S6 is a quality one, so I suppose I'm taking a chance there. But I use car charger, wireless charger intermittently, and have a battery back up charger as well in case I need the phone for more than a normal day. I think it will be okay. And by having all the phone's memory in one solid state device, the response time and retrieval time is faster than with SD card, if that's any consolation.

does it have GPS
with updated traffic and road conditions
Yes, using Google Maps and Navigation, you get real time traffic maps and turn by turn voice navigation (although you can turn off the voice, which I prefer).
