Good, not the best?

Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife tried out this case on her iPhone, but ultimately was not happy with it. The little knob on the side that manipulates the mute switch is a good idea, but hard to live with since it is so small. The case doesn't feel quite as quality as one of the leading competing brands (otter *cough cough* box *cough); We tried it out and ended going back for a OB Commuter case. Something with good protection and little less bulk also.
I can't really fault the case too much other than it didn't feel as quality as some cases, and the weird switch thing. You may like it more than we did.

My Crafty Wife and Her Colors

Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife picked up two of these with different colors. She wanted to mix and match the colors to whatever she wanted. Buying them from BB was still cheaper than getting them directly from the manufacturer... go figure...
Anyways, the cases are solid. They're a good combination of protection without bulk. They're good from hip/desk level drops, but I wouldn't chuck your phone off the 2nd story and expect it to survive in one of these.
The quality is as expected with this brand. You can't go wrong here.
Additionally she uses a pop-socket on the back of these cases for added grip.

My wife loves it!

Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife probably could have gotten away with an iPhone 8, but we had the opportunity to pick up a couple of X's at our local BB, so we did. I can say I've been very pleased with my X, and my wife has loved hers as well.
The battery live is a big improvement over our ageing iPhone 6s phones. I can actually get through the day without having to charge my phone at lunch, or run an external battery pack. We'll see how the batteries hold up over time though.

I'm glad I took the plunge

Verified Purchase:Yes
I use my phone a lot. For work, for play, and anything in between, my phones get a lot of use. They connect us to the world through apps and the internet. I use mine to look up information all the time. Not to mention as a camera, GPS, flashlight, radio, and the list just goes on and on.
I had been on the fence with my 6s for a while debating if it was worth going for the X or just getting an 8. I'm glad I went with the X. The new features of the X simply work, and feel very natural.
Now if gestures, FaceID, and some of the additional new features don't matter to you, then an 8 will suite you just fine. You could say that the iPhone X is for "enthusiasts" .

Great lightweight case

Posted by: TheFreeman2005
from Charlotte, NC, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm not a fan of bulky cases, although I'm not one for letting my phone be "naked" either. So typically I like to grab fairly thin cases. Mostly to protect from scratches and minor drops. This case will handle that and maybe a little more.
While I can't imagine dropping from more than waist height will probably still result in some damage, this will definitely handle day to day bumps and scrapes in dealing with pockets or being slid around on a desk.
The case is easy to get on and off, feels relatively well constructed and has a very good level of grip all the way around.
The color would be my only gripe as its an odd orangey color...
Price for protection, this is a good case.

Very Durable

Posted by: TheFreeman2005
from Charlotte, NC, USA
Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife had this on her phone for a short term. However, I will say that this case matches the level of quality expected from the brand.
What didn't work was the Pop Socket thing that my wife likes to have on the back of her phones. Due to the nature of the rubber exterior of this case, the combination of accessories will not work with this case. The Pop Socket will simply pull the back of the rubber case away from the hard shell case. Not a good combination.
The case itself is very solid. My wife was a little disappointed in the lack of color schemes.
If you need a heavy duty case, this is what you need.

They look dumb, but they work

Verified Purchase:Yes
My wife loves these things. Personally, I won't have one on my phone, but she loves them on her devices. I will admit, they provide a good handle/stand on the back of a phone. They're also very secure when applied properly to a device pending the surface you stick them to is clean. They're also fairly durable. Personally I'm not a fan of the bulk they add, but if grip is important to you, then you need one of these. My wife uses one on the back of her phone case and not directly stuck to the phone.

Relax with your favorite books wherever life takes you with this Amazon Kindle Paperwhite B00OQVZDJM, which features a 6" 300 ppi Carta ePaper antiglare touch screen with optimized fonts. The built-in backlight makes it simple to read at night.
Posted by: TheFreeman2005
Verified Purchase:Yes
I purchased this Kindle to replace my original Kindle that is of the same format. I don't believe it was called Paperwhite, but its the one without the keyboard at the bottom. It has been a great Kindle, however, I've always been disappointed that it did not have a back light. Now that I have a back light, I have no idea how I managed before. Even reading before bed with the lamp next to the bed on, the back light makes a big difference. The extra resolution is nice, but not really a huge thing when you're talking about text on the screen. The battery life is definitely reduced when running the back light, however, not to the point where I have to charge every night. I'll still likely get several weeks of battery life before needing to recharge.
Overall, if you're looking to upgrade, this is the Kindle to get. The back light is a huge upgrade for me. It helps reduce my eye strain which is important to me.

Great for Trying Out VR
on February 13, 2017
Posted by: TheFreeman2005
Verified Purchase:Yes
When you pick this headset up, you have to understand what you're getting. This is very much a budget, low-end, try-for-the-frist-time VR headset that is powered by your phone. Its neat to play with more than anything.
Personally, I wanted to see where the technology has evolved to. I was, and currently am not interested in shelling out hundreds of dollars in order to get VR going. Not to mention that other solutions require a high end PC to run the applications for VR. Maybe in a few years I'll be willing to spend that on VR, but it is still very early in.
This particular headset will allow you to test a few apps. I have an iPhone 6S and it works well enough. The "screen size" is a bit small and clarity is reasonable. The "action button" does not work for anything I have tested it on. Also, I have to remove my phone from its case for the headset to close and latch. The front plate is actually held closed with a magnet, so if you're not careful, you might send your phone flying.
Anyway about it, you can download a bunch of apps that will allow you to test-drive VR. Google has several, one of which is similar to street view which will allow you to visit famous locations all over the world!
Would I recomend this to a friend? Sure, like I said, its a cheap and easy way to get into and test VR.

Recap of a Great Case
on February 13, 2017
Posted by: TheFreeman2005
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've purchased a few of these over the last few years. A few for myself, a few for my wife. I have even purchased these for my wife! As an IT guy, I've also purchased them for employee phones at the office. I've gone through a lot of Otterbox cases. The Commuter series is a great blend of durability and "pocketability". The case will offer good protection for drops without adding too much bulk to the phone.
If you're someone who generally has a good grip on your phone, then this is the case for you. It will handle typical drops without an issue. However, if you're someone who throws your phone, or works in a rugged environment, then you'll want to step up to the Defender series.
Otherwise this is a great case!

With 2 temperature-controlled zones and 8 shelves, this Frigidaire FFWC18B2RB wine cooler provides ample storage space with temperatures ranging from 46° to 66° for use with red and white wines. Find what you need easily with interior lighting.
Can this be mounted under counter ?
I wouldn't imagine so unless there was enough air-flow behind the unit. I had cut some of the air off to the rear of my cooler by keeping it pressed up against the wall and then staking boxes on top of the cooler and it had a hard time maintaining a cool temperature.

Question is there suppose to be a continuous non stop buzzing sound from the cooler?
This unit does have a slight buzz to it. The cooling mechanism is what does this. I have two different units (18 and 8 bottle) and they both have the same nose to them. I have gotten used to it and seldom hear it anymore.
