This is an excellent case for the iPhone 7 Plus. It feels sturdy and as protective as other Tech 21 cases I have owned, and the styling is so good you don't even realize you have a case on! It goes fantastic with the matte black.
Most people won't get the new iPhone 7 Plus for some time, but when you do get this case. There are a number of colors to pick from as well.

I picked this phone up yesterday and I can say without hesitation it's my favorite Android phone ever. The interface is clear, stock Android 6.0, it's fast, and the screen colors pop. It feels good to hold in the hand, and for the most part is intuitive to set up.
I've had the Galaxy 7 Edge, and this phone is right there with it. If you're looking for a new phone and don't want a monthly payment but want something that is stylish and get the job done, I can unconditionally recommend this.

By far these are the best headphones ever made. They're comfortable, stylish, easy to set up, and the sound and noise cancelling is flawless. It even comes with a case that's perfect.
They're expensive but worth every penny and then some. Buy them and be happy.

I like this stereo a lot. It has all the basics, satellite radio ready and even has iHeartRadio and Pandora. For the most part it is intuitive, presets are easy, it pairs with your phone, and has a USB input. It even counts down a couple of seconds before changing inputs, i.e., FM to satellite. And I like where the volume control/tuning knob is. It's big and very easy to navigate.
The display is good and I like the colors but difficult to see in bright sun. Some things about tuning (especially on satellite) are less than intuitive but can be learned in time. It comes with a remote which I haven't tried out yet. None of these are dealkillers but should be called out.
I'd give this 4.5 stars but to me the value and the features and quality outweigh the negatives called out. For the price and the feature set you're not going to do much better. If you want a solid nuts and bolts head unit that will give you what you need this should be on your short list.

Microsoft Band 2 (Medium): Pair with your Windows Phone, Apple® iOS or Android device using the Bluetooth interface to start receiving helpful alerts and fitness stats. You can easily keep track of your heart rate, steps taken, calories burned, sleep quality, hours slept and other metrics throughout the day.

First the software: Probably the best out there. It has an ambitious feature set comparable to a smartwatch and for the most part gets it right. The display is sharp, the interface with the app is fine, and the notifications are customizable. It is durable and intuitive to use.
That said it's still too bulky, although not as much as the first effort. It's best worn with the face inside the wrist, my personal preference is to have it outside. While not a deal-killer, I think most people prefer slimmer or less obvious trackers. The notifications are good, but you can get overloaded but can take some effort to read when they run long. Also charging could be better and battery life is average at best, below average the more features you use.
I'd give this 3.5 stars if I could but 3 seems about right. They run big, so if you have a narrow wrist go with the medium. All that said, if you're willing to tolerate the bulkiness, you'll be happy with this, but otherwise wait for the next generation as I'd expect design improvements.

Exercise with the water-resistant LG TONE Active wireless headset. This premium Bluetooth headset is adjustable to provide a snug fit, and it uses two sizes of stabilizer tips to stay firmly in place while you're in motion. Easily recharge the LG TONE Active wireless headset in two hours with a micro USB charging cable.

This is a good headset. Like all the LG headphones in this line it fits comfortably around the neck. I like the pull-out earbuds for a custom fit; just be careful when pulling them out or back. The earbuds are comfortable and you can wear these all day. The bluetooth range is fine, and what you'd expect. Sound wise they're not in a class with Bose or Beats but don't try to be and the sound is fine. The controls take some getting used to but once you do it's easy. And as a speakerphone, it's very good. It can be worn all day around your neck and is reasonably comfortable.

Excellent charger; wait until it's on sale

REV makes excellent chargers and this is no exception. The 16K model is a little bulky for a hip pocket, but excellent for a case or your car. The digital display is good, it will charge your device fast, and they hold up nicely. $50, that's the high end of reasonable; but If it's marked down, grab it by all means.

The 9.7-inch iPad Pro delivers an unprecedented combination of portability and performance. At just 6.1mm thin and weighing less than a pound, iPad Pro features the brightest, most advanced Retina display ever with True Tone, advanced sensors that adjust the display to your environment for even more comfortable viewing. It has a powerful A9X chip with 64-bit desktop-class architecture, four speaker audio, advanced iSight and FaceTime HD cameras, Touch ID fingerprint sensor, ultrafast Wi-Fi connectivity, and up to 10 hours of battery life. When you add Apple Pencil with its pixel-perfect precision, and the incredibly thin Smart Keyboard, iPad Pro becomes even more versatile.*

Apple really got it right here. The clarity is excellent, the processor is speedy, and the 9.7 is the perfect size. Like the original iPad it's a limited laptop replacement, to say the least; but you can do a lot with it all the same.
While much more expensive than the Air 2, I submit you get your money's worth and then some. If you want an iPad the combination of form factor, utility, battery life and power make this THE choice.

Metal means power, and this metal watchband for the Fitbit Blaze gives you a dominating accessory. Metal links feel smooth against your skin and frame the Fitbit Blaze to keep it absolutely secure, even when you receive notifications from your smartphone. Enjoy the complete water resistance of this metal watchband for the Fitbit Blaze.

This is better than the leather band as far as combining style with durability. But it's not necessary. The deal killer for me was that in order to get a good fit you need to push the pins out and/or add links - in other words, be an amateur jeweler. If you've ever tried it, it's not easy and it takes a lot of practice to get good. What's more they don't give you the tools you need to do that, instead recommending you take it to a jeweler.
That said people like it and it is well made, and the frame that comes with it seems more durable than the standard frame. But this is a fitness tracker, and IMHO not worth spending the kind of money they're charging.

While the Fitbit is an excellent fitness tracker you don't need a fancy band. In fact, for workouts the silicon band is far better. While not poorly made I found that on my wrist the large was just a little big. Plus I am not sure how it holds up for workouts.
The Blaze is a fitness tracker, not a smartwatch. I can see why Fitbit put it out, but you're better off sticking with the silicon band.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

can a standard battery be used in case of a dead lithium batery?
No. Send it back to Bose and they'll replace it. If it's under warranty they'll do it free. Not sure if out of warranty but they have excellent customer service, I'm sure it wouldn't break the bank.

Do these headphones have a volume and tone control . I want to pair them with an LG TV and i have a hearing problem so it is important to have a tone control.
There's a built in volume control but no tone control. However I think you'll be pleased with the sound.

How is the sound leakage on these headphones? I'm considering buying but I hate when other people can hear them even when volume isn't high
No issue with sound leakage.

HP Pavilion x360 11-n010dx Convertible 2-in-1 Laptop: This versatile device is a laptop with a full keyboard when you want to work, a touch-screen tablet when you want to play, and a portable movie or video player with a built-in stand when you're on the go.
Windows 10 compatibility
I just purchased this,and was wondering if i can update to windows 10. ?Is it compatible to Windows 10 it has most of the specs,and is a 64bit system.I,m trying to find update app to make reservation,and it is,nt coming on my laptop.Does HP have a fix for this?....thank you!
There’s no reason this should not pair with Windows 10. Use the app in the control panel and put this in pairing mode. It should see it and connect right away.
With that said keep in mind that W10 is still a beta product, so there may be some curveballs. I’d be surprised if this did not connect for you though.

I can't get the volume to come on AT ALL...any suggestions?
I can't get ANY sound to come on. I bought it less than a month ago, and just took it out of the box early last week. Geek guys want to charge an arm & TWO legs just to LOOK at it. They're being hard to deal with.... Anyone have any suggestions of what to try in order to see if this is just a setting or more possibly a factory defect?
Sounds like you may have a bad unit. Bring it back and get another one. If you’re past the return date write to Logitech, tell them your issue, and they should replace it. BBY may swap it out even if you are past the return date as well. Both are pretty good with that sort of thing.

could i put a solid state drive in this,and if i could would it turn this already fast laptop into an even faster one.I know it,s a Pentium chip,but i,m wondering if i could improve on speed?...thank you
Yes you can, and in fact I highly recommend it. What you lose in storage space you’ll more than gain back in performance, and you likely won’t miss the storage space. For even more space, get an SD card. Plus its quite easy to install, if you’re handy. Just go slow.

No, it’s an Intel pentium. That said, it works fine and provides features only found on premium models (tablet/stand mode, Beats Audio, etc.)

should i use mcAfee anti
should I use McAfee anti virus protection or some other form of virus protection?
I would. Most ISPs offer free antivirus software suites, and they play nice with the machine - they don’t bog it down unreasonably. AVG also offers a free stripped-down product that does the job and takes up less resources.

Can my daughter use this to do word processing?
Can this be used to do word processing right out of the box without having to download any other program?
Yes. I recommend Office 365 (9.95/month, but you can install on up to 5 machines and you’ll always have the latest edition), but there are plenty free options out there that will work just fine (OpenOffice, Google Docs, etc.)
