I had an Otterbox before this on my Note 3 and loved it. This is the same, but less bulky than the Note 3 case. Feels good in your hand. I know this will protect my phone when I drop it since this happened several times with my Note 3. Highly recommend!

Upgraded from a Note 3. I really liked that one but this is such an improvement. S-Pen works much better, the phone has shrunk in size and has a better feel in your hand. The fingerprint reader is easy to setup and use. The quick charge is nice too. Overall really glad that I upgraded.

LG 24" Tall Tub Built-In Dishwasher: Experience exceptionally clean dishes at just the touch of a button with this powerful LG dishwasher. Variable spray pressure technology and a hybrid condensing dry system ensure a deep, sanitized clean for a generous amount of dishes.
Posted by: 95BlackLightning

Amazed at how efficient and quiet this dishwasher is...While the cycles are longer than what I am used to, for me it doesn't matter to me as the end results are well worth it! Many folks say that it does not dry well - if you add the extra dry cycle and the hot rinse options (since there is no heating element), all of my dishes come out completely dry and squeaky clean. The only way you know it is doing its job is by the blue blinking LED on the upper right top (which I do not find annoying). The racks are extremely flexible and work very well for me. One of the best features is the third rack that holds all the small items that would not work in our old dishwasher. The ability to be able to wash half a dishwasher load on either the top or bottom rack is another good option for me. The one requirement for me was the ability to be able to rinse dishes and then be able to wash a load later. This is one of the few that still will do that. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and next time I am in the market for any kitchen or laundry appliance, I will checkout LG first.

For those of you that don't read instructions, do yourself a favor and read these. You will save yourself some grief! One thing you must do is use the Samsung adapter when using this device on a Samsung phone. Just plug this device in to your phone, hook up a HDMI cable from the adapter to your TV, select the input on your TV and your done. If you want to charge your phone plug in its charger to the adapter. Only caveat, for whatever reason, a full charge current to the phone is not provided.

Love this version since it cleans easily so that fingerprints are not a problem. Fits well and will work great. I have had this brand on both of my previous phones and now on my new Note 3. It can take a real beating and still come out unscathed! Very impressed and highly recommend any of their products. You will not be disappointed.
What's great about it: Keeps the screen smudge free. Rugged and indestructible.

Geek Squad® Certified Refurbished Samsung GCRF-XE303C12-A01US Chromebook: Stay connected and productive wherever you are with this Samsung Chromebook. It's compact and lightweight, ready to use right out of the box and boots up fast. The operating system and all of your apps stay up-to-date because Chromebooks automatically update.Learn more about Geek Squad Certified Refurbished products › Learn more about Chromebooks ›

The machine boots up incredibly fast and is secure in protecting the user's information. Since Google pushes the updates to the Chrome OS, the operating system is always current without requiring any user intervention. What a novel idea!
If you want to watch Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, surf the internet, create documents, read eBooks or just use Gmail, this machine is ideal. It travels easily due to its lightweight and size. The battery life is exceptional lasting over 6 hours. For most people who use a computer to access the internet, this machine will do the job quite well.
Using Google's suite of web services: Gmail, Google Plus, Picasa/Google Plus Photos and Hangouts, most needs are met. Google Documents handles word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations. Google documents can use Microsoft Office documents upon converting them. Communication with Hangouts works flawlessly offering video conferencing with the built in microphone, speakers, and webcam.
The keyboard is decent, but different as all the letters are in lowercase and there is no delete key (no big deal). The track pad operates exceptionally well for me. The screen is clear, the colors are rich, and after adjusting it for the correct viewing angle and brightness, it displays everything just fine.
Considering the low cost, this machine is great for students, travelers, and anyone that predominantly use their computer to access the web. If you are new to computers and a little intimidated by them, this machine is a pleasure to use without having to deal with all the settings and security hassles.
For what it is, I highly recommend the Chromebook. Just don't expect it to be another Windows laptop...

2 out of 5Needed a credit card to get "any" apps.
By BnvlSteve
from Bernville, PA
The overall appearance was appealing with a slim design and light weight but when I opened the lid, it seemed to be a bit flimsy. When I powered it on, I was disappointed that there were no preloaded apps. Being accustomed to my Android tablets, I was not prepared to have to download apps just to start to use this netbook. I was not happy when it wanted a credit card to download any apps even if they were "free". Not impressed by that experience and promptly returned it to the store. I would rather have had it preloaded with Android...

This computer must be connected to the internet to function. You can't even type something without an internet connection. Had I known that I would not have bought it, but I have adapted. Also, it doesn't have Windows installed on it. Also wasn't aware of that. It's the size of a portable DVD player. It's a weird little computer, but I am getting used to it. You can't beat the price especially with the warranty.

Better research before purchase

would be good idea to find out what a product is about and what it can and can't do. It is a Chrome OS based machine - never claimed anything to do with Windows or Microsoft. It is a Google product...

By Gailzzz
So far this is a good dishwasher unlike the other three appliances I purchased from LG at the same time. The only thing I question is the length of time to run a normal load with drying which is 3 hours and 19 minutes. Seems long to be energy efficient.

Not so
October 24, 2015
There are reasons why it is energy efficient:
1. It has no food grinder
2. It has no heating element for drying
3. It has a stainless steel interior
1. It has no food grinder

There is no need for a heating element for drying as it uses the heat that is generated during the wash cycle (that has heated up the interior liner) along with a fan to dry the dishes.

To keep the CLEAN light on until the door is open, turn the
power on, and then press and hold the Extra dry and Half load
buttons on the control panel simultaneously until Off or On
appears in the display. The dishwasher will remember this setting
until manually changed.

5 out of 5Great dishwasher - no 'clean' notification?!
By Mannlegal
Overall, I am very happy with this dishwasher. I've had it a few months and it has worked great. It's nice and quiet, cleans the dishes, etc. My only complaint so far is that it doesn't have any sort of notification when the load is done, other than it's turned off. My old dishwasher that it replaced had a light indicated the load inside was clean, so we knew whether or not to unload and put away or keep loading (or run it). Disappointingly, this dishwasher has no such notification, so my 8 year old daughter has put dirty dishes in with the clean ones a few times not knowing it already was run and the dishes inside clean. Not a big deal, but it is a nice feature that I miss. Other than that, I do not have any complaints and am happy with the many great features.

3 out of 5screen protector not exactly compatible with S Pen
By MWR33
I've been using Otterbox for years. i just bought the Note 5 to replace my Note 4. It boggles my mind why they haven't made the screen protector more compatible with the S Pen. There is way too much resistance when using the S Pen and leaves highly noticeable marks that really need pressure to remove. I'm not surprised because it was the same way with the Note 4 Defender. On that one, I removed the Defender screen protector and went without (which is likely what I will do this time). On my Galaxy S3, I removed the screen protector and installed one on the phone itself, which was much better than the one Otterbox provided. History has shown that they don't put enough time and research into the screen protectors. Especially for phones with a pen/stylus, Otterbox shouldn't advertise the screen protector because it's a hindrance. Remove it and quit charging for it. Other than the screen protector, it's a top notch product with excellent customer service.

Removed the screen protector
December 13, 2015
and replaced it with a ZAGG HDX. Did the same on my Note 3. Solves the S-Pen issues and provides screen protection that is comparable to case now.

How does a contract work?
For the 32GB it says its $49.99 with a contract, so do I still have to pay a monthly payment or anything? And if so, how much will it be?
Nope - Price is for a 2 year contract. There is a substantial termination fee if you want out of the contract early.

So I'm looking at a refurbished Samsung laptop whats the difference between Refurbished and a brand new laptop
Refurbished is a customer return that has been evaluated and serviced back to new condition. Real difference here is:
1. the warranty
2. no 2yrs free Google drive space
3. price
