Perfect Balance of Durability and Pocketability!

Verified Purchase:Yes
I've always been a big fan of Otterbox since the good 'ol days of the iPhone 3GS. Since then, Otterbox has expanded their lineup quite a bit. These days, my favorite case series is the "Commuter". This case offers great protection, while not being so bulky that your phone feels like a brick.
This time in particular, I purchased this model for my wife. Her last Otterbox case became damaged in the corner. And by damaged, I mean a small portion of the hard plastic was cracked (my wife drops her phone at least once every other week). The phone itself is in spectacular condition, so the case has been doing its job!
One thing I will say is that, periodically, you will need to remove and clean the case and the phone.Otherwise, dust tends to collect in behind the case.
Otherwise, you can't go wrong with an Otterbox case. Buy one! Your phone will thank you.

Good To Have

I have not had to use this warranty on this particular device, but I have friends and family that have used the warranty. For how complex devices are becoming today, it is good and cheap insurance to have. For example, a screen repair on a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 will run you around $480. The warranty itself is well worth it in that case.

The wonders of the Internet are seemingly limitless, but similar to most things in life, with the good comes the bad. Lurking around every corner are malicious online threats that put your computers, mobile devices, information and identity at risk. While you answer e-mail, you're vulnerable to phishing attacks. Every new link may lead to a virus. Fake Web sites might look legitimate but could trick you into revealing crucial information. Malware could infiltrate your device at any moment.

Whether you have a PC, Mac, Android or iOS device — or regularly use up to three of them online — defend them with Webroot.

This came with my wife's laptop. I know Webroot has been good to me in the past, so I went ahead and picked this and loaded it up on the laptop. So far it seems fairly unintrusive. My wife is pretty good about not clicking on junk, so we'll see if it reports on finding anything as she uses the computer. I does not seem to be too resource intensive so far either.

I picked this up for my wife's HP Envey 15.6" laptop. We really wanted something to give the laptop a little extra padding while in her bag. The price was right and the quality seems good. It probably wouldn't protect the laptop from more than a simple scuffs or very minor drops, but the idea here is to help protect the laptop while in a bag. I'm positive it'll be able to handle that.

I work in the IT industry and I tend to use a lot of different laptops. I'm usually pretty critical of hardware that family and friends buy (because I usually end up supporting it!). So for my wife, we spent some time shopping around for a laptop that was sub $700. There were a few contenders, but the HP finally edged out. 12GB of RAM and 1TB of HDD space, coupled with the Intel i5 really sells this computer in the performance department. I do wish the HDD had more performance as the drive is a 5400RPM drive (I have no idea why in 2016 manufactures are still using this ancient speed), but for what my wife is using it for, this will suffice.
The laptop feels very solid. It is a pleasure to type on and the trackpad is large and useful. Backlit keys are great as they get pretty bright, which is great for those of us who spend time typing the occasional Best Buy review in the dark in front of the TV at night.
If you can catch this laptop on sale, then pick it up. You can't go wrong. It should handle any office/student work that most people will be doing. Only gamers need not apply.

Jawbone MINI JAMBOX Speaker:Say goodbye to the limitations of wires, and take music, podcasts, audiobooks and more with you to the next big bash with this portable speaker. A built-in microphone and 1-touch button let you also make and receive hands-free phone calls.
Posted by: TheFreeman2005
Verified Purchase:Yes
This little Jambox is a great portable speaker. Originally when bluetooth speakers started hitting the markets, I couldn't figure out why in the world people needed them. I figured I had a loud speaker in my phone and that was good enough. Well I got this one on sale and combined with a few rewards points I got it for pretty cheap. I actually use it quite frequently. Its handy to have around for a few reasons.
First, its louder than my iPhone speaker. The sound quality is much better than my iPhone speaker cranked all the way up. The speaker can fill a room with good sound. Not a large room, or a very open area, but a bedroom, or maybe even a kitchen or living room is a good sound stage for this speaker.
A word to the wise! Disable your EQ settings on your device. The speaker has a built in EQ. I found that it CUT the volume by a significant amount when using the Bass Booster on my iPhone. Turning off the EQ settings on my iPhone resulted in quite a bit more volume coming from the speaker. Despite this, I do wish it was a tad louder.
Additionally, the build quality is great! This speaker feels like one of the more solid pieces of gear that I've picked up in the last couple of years.
If you don't need something expensive or super loud, then this speaker is for you. This is great for in the office, around the house, or out on the deck.

From an iPad Mini... Now We're Here...
on June 26, 2016
Posted by: TheFreeman2005
Verified Purchase:Yes
I've owned the iPad 1st Gen, an iPad Mini 1st Gen, and now an iPad Air 2.
I was forcing myself to continue living life with the iPad mini, but the performance was just starting to slow down and I found myself just using my iPhone to look stuff up and read. Not great on the eyes for longer periods of time.
I finally decided to break the bank and upgrade to the Air 2. Not wanting to spend the extra dough on the Pro version, I settled for the Air 2. I can tell you it doesn't feel like I settled. This thing is QUICK. Pages render in a heartbeat and it makes the "reader" option on webpages in Safari usable (no waiting for the page to load, then render). Additionally applications load so much quicker. The battery life is pretty good. I can read a book, or play games, stream video and not kill the battery in a short go. Hopefully it holds up better than my iPhone battery with time *rolls eyes*.
Overall, I hope this iPad Air will last me a few years before slowing down. I paired it up with a Zagg Slim Folio keyboard and have turned it into a lightweight PC with some remote software to my home computer. Now I don't have to lug around my laptop and power adapter. Just my iPad Air and the case. Easy!

Mostly Happy with Another Zagg Purchase
on June 26, 2016
Posted by: TheFreeman2005
Verified Purchase:Yes
I had the Zagg rugged keyboard/case on my iPad mini and it was a great addition. Picking up an iPad Air 2 I didn't want anything as bulky, but I did want the same quality. Seeing as how I had a great experience with Zagg, I went ahead and picked up their Slim Folio for my Air 2. Initially I was a bit disappointed with how thin the portion of the case that protects the iPad is. I guess that is the whole point, but it feels pretty brittle and weak. Not to mention that the plastic does not have a great texture to it. So until you get used to holding the device, some extra care is needed. I'm planning on throwing some stickers or grip tape on it just so I don't feel like I'm going to drop it.
Otherwise much like any other Zagg product I've had, the quality is great! The keyboard is responsive, and I can type well with it. The battery life is outstanding, the hinge and design for the keyboard is awesome. Now I have an iPad that can run as a full laptop while out on the road. with some remote software, I can access my home computer and run all my PC apps without having to lug my big computer around. Pretty sweet if you ask me!
Zagg has also had good customer service in the past, this is another reason I have decided to stick with their products.

I had purchased the smaller version of this unit (8 bottles) for my wife a couple years back on sale for Black Friday. I wasn't sure about how long it would last, or how well it would cool using the thermometric cooling method. However, it has lasted a couple years and has managed to keep the wine cool, and my wife happy. Lets face it, that is the important thing right? With Best Buy, we were able to trade in a few junk laptops and turn them into wife happy cool wine storage. So far it works/looks/is the same as the smaller unit. In fact, it looks like two of the 8 bottle units stacked on top of one another. The top and bottom sections have their own temperature settings. We've had it in place for a few weeks. So far so good.
A few pro-tips. This unit needs some breathing room around the back. So don't cram it up too tight against the wall, don't block the air around the back by staking junk on top of the unit either.
It seems to cool the best under 75* or so.

As I have gotten older, most games have a difficult time keeping my attention. Doom has managed to keep it though. The story is the same as it has always been. Mars... hi tech facility... experiments gone wrong... "heck" (thank you language filter)... demons... guns... and you. The graphics are amazing this time around, and the environment are as detailed as ever. The multi-player aspect is pretty fun and exciting with some neat twists. Thank God its not another Call of Duty game...

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.
