Provides for a fast charge
on September 15, 2016
Posted by: jrauck
While this charger is a tad more expensive than what you can find in many other stores, it does provide a full 2.4 volt charge where most cheaper changers do not. This drastically matters because phones with fast charge such as the Samsung series require a high voltage output.

Works great, but could be cheaper
on September 15, 2016
Posted by: jrauck
While this cable works just as great as the more expensive hdmi cables, there are many other hdmi cables out there that are cheaper and produce the same amount of bandwidth.
In saying that the cable does everything it's suppose to, including a resolution of 4k. If you purchase a new 4k tv you wouldn't go wronget with purchasing this cable over the more expensive brands.

Does the job
on September 13, 2016
Posted by: jrauck
I have no complaints with this cable. Works as I intended it to, including providing me the same speed of Internet as any other more expensive cable would.
One tiny thing that I do like about this cable that other cables don't have is that there is rubber covering the clip on each end. While this isn't necessary by any means, it keeps the clips from breaking off.
You won't notice any speed difference between the cat 6 and the cat 5e, unless you have a gb Internet connection (which is doubtful) so if you're trying to save cost the 5e should work fine.

I had a few issues at first, but...
on September 9, 2016
Posted by: jrauck
then I updated the firmware and now I have no issues! I would have originally given this product 2 or 3 stars due to the connectivity issues that I had with this device, until I read that you can update the firmware. While you shouldn't have to update the firmware on a brand new device, this device you unfortunately do which is why I gave it 4/5 stars.
Once this device decided to work correctly it allows you to duplicate, extend, or turn any device (with a usb and hdmi) into a primary screen. I primarily use this device to stream content such as movies or tv shows and have not had any issues of lag with video or audio, which is why I love this thing.

If you don't own this you should!
on September 9, 2016
Posted by: jrauck
After spending some time researching all of the water proof speakers this is the one I decided to go with, without even listening to it. As soon as received this speaker, I immediately opened up the fantastic packaging it came with and turned this baby on! I will definitely say I was more impressed than I expected! The sound quality is excellent for a speaker this size, and that's without even using the equalizer on the app. This speaker works perfectly with allowing 2 people being paired to it simultaneously, which is hard to find with other speakers. Another feature that I think is awesome which I have yet to see another speaker do is that you can pair 2 speakers together to give you stereo sound. The battery life is not quite as high as other speakers out there, but after reading reviews on the other speakers I have gathered that the speaker companies achieve better battery life by significantly decreasing the sound. In saying that I will definitely say this thing is loud. I turned this speaker up to its max volume and went to the other side of my house (about 1000 sq ft) and you could still hear it pretty significantly with no distortion. Another thing I think is cool that this speaker has is the 1/4 screw mount (what most cameras use) which can allow you to mount 2 speakers on a tripod, keep it attached to your float on the river, or many other ways to attach it to something. All in all if you want a great sounding speaker that is waterproof, I highly suggest this one over others.

Great case for protecting your laptop
on September 9, 2016
Posted by: jrauck
While this does not have a handle on it like a few other cases, this is great for adding extra protection to your laptop whether you put it in your laptop or just carry it around like this. One thing that this case offers that a few others don't is that it has a front pouch for carrying your laptop charger or other smaller things such as a usb drive. Just keep in mind if you like to carry a mouse with you I really doubt it will fit unless it is fairly thin.

Best mouse pad I have used!
on September 9, 2016
Posted by: jrauck
I love everything about this mouse pad! After looking at other retailers online, this is the best mouse pad I have found for the price. It's extremely long and wide which allows you to set both your mouse and keyboard on it, while giving you an ample amount of room for your mouse. The other thing that I love(and found extremely hard to find on other mouse pads) is how thick it is. The thickness gives you plenty of cushion for long hours of gaming so your wrists don't hurt from being on the edge of the desk. Another quick comment that I'll mention is the rubber grip and the weight of this thing helps keep it in place, so it dosent slide around after time. The last favorite thing about this mouse pad is the quality. It's not just a cheap piece of fabric glued to a piece of rubber like many other mouse pads out there. It's a high quality material on top, with a high quality piece of gripped rubber that are sewed around the seem, to finish off with its slick look.
One side note I will mention as I have read from another comment, is yes this pad does smell like rubber when you take it out of the box. Seeing as this is made out of rubber it will initially smell like that. If you don't like the smell of rubber for a day or so I would suggest looking at something else.

Enjoy a world of entertainment with Google Chromecast. Just connect to your HDTV's HDMI interface and your home Wi-Fi network to get started. You can stream your favorite apps from your compatible phone, tablet or laptop, plus use your phone as a remote to search, play and pause content.
 

Can someone explain me which electronics protection plan i should purchase for my google chromecast 2 ?

I would honestly just suggest getting the 2 year, because for only $10 more of the 4 year you can get a brand new device for that price. I suggest the protection plans since you can literally just walk into a best buy and have it replaced if it stops working (as long as you don't damage it), so you don't have to worry about going through the manufacture.
