Just what I need to project my iPad/iPhone
on January 5, 2018

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a great cable for my tool bag - lightning USB to HDMI. I’ve used it to share either my iPhone, iPad or my wife’s iPad mini to any screen with an HDMI cable: I have used it for wall projectors, 55” TVs, and computer monitors depending on how big of an audience I need to share my screen with. The only downside is the price- there just does not need to be such a high price on this cable.

Clean power, great looks

Using this as a filtered outlet for our 3D printer, plus a computer workstation. It's great that it has 6 outlets, plus 4 USB outlets. It lights up and looks good, plus sits flat against the wall. The package also includes two short A/C plugs, extending the outlets in case one side isn't accessible. Very nice!

Off-the-shelf convenient for video surveillance

Using this with a Lorex video surveillance system. The factory unit only comes with 500GB hard drive, so swapping this one in quadrupled my storage. Works fine!

Perfect for college- laptop backup

Verified Purchase:Yes
Was able to get this up and running easily with the included quick-start. I'm using it to backup the laptop required for all engineering freshmen at Virginia Tech - if I lost my data or work, i do have an overnight service plan, but it wouldn't restore my data. Every Wednesday night it backs up my hard drive, and now my room-mate is using it as well - there's plenty of space!

Unobtrusive and protective - great fit

Saw this case on the display and loved the slim design but side-wrap protection. I know it doesn't look like it's a rugged enclosure, but twice I've dropped my phone without any damage - so it has certainly paid for itself!

Replace any standard duplex outlet with this USB wall outlet. This tamper-resistant device prevents shocks by connecting to electricity only when a standard plug is inserted. The two USB charging ports make it easy to charge phones, cameras and other devices. A white decora-style wall plate is included with this USB wall outlet for simple installation.

Works great, needs lots of space in outlet box
on May 19, 2017
Posted by: CustomWebProgrammer
from Christiansburg, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
I ordered these through BestBuy online, and they arrived quickly and well packaged. Installation is a snap. Be sure to cut off the circuit breaker of course before replacing an existing electrical outlet. Do note that the push-in wire connectors still require you to tighten the screws. Keep wires short, because you'll likely need to push pretty hard to get all your wire into your junction box: the body of this wall outlet takes up much more space than just a simple two-plug outlet that you're replacing. I bought one for each bedside lamp in our house so that every nightstand has a convenient charging station.

After 2 well-known name brand Blu-Ray players died on me, this unit was my last hope for a DVD/Blu-Ray below a hundred dollars. Samsung has delivered! It's easy to set up, has played well, and seems to be high-quality.

Control multiple devices at once with this RCA three-device universal remote. A 40-foot IR range lets you adjust the volume or change channels from anywhere in your room, while the ergonomic, thin design allows comfortable handling. Compatibility with most satellite, cable and streaming players offers versatility, and the partially backlit keypad makes it easy to use in the dark.

Dynex + Apple TV awesomeness!
on July 23, 2016
Posted by: CustomWebProgrammer
from Christiansburg, VA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Our Dynex (BestBuy) TV remote had a battery contact problem, so I was glad to find this low-cost replacement. As a bonus, there is a 1-button code for AppleTV, so this one, low-cost remote serves both units quite well. I would make it a 5-star review, but the OK button seems to require reprogramming. Easy to setup, large list of compatible TVs, but small print.

Award-winning playwright Neil Simon wrote three autobiographical plays about a young man named Eugene Monroe. The second in the series, Biloxi Blues, was produced on Broadway with Matthew Broderick in the lead. Broderick reprises the role in the film version, while directorial duties were handed to Mike Nichols. The film comes to DVD with a widescreen anamorphic transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 2.35:1. English, French, and Spanish soundtracks are rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. Spanish and French subtitles are accessible, and the English soundtrack is closed-captioned. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence, but those interested may want to see the big-screen adaptation of Simon's Brighton Beach Memoirs.

Great movie I couldn't find elsewhere

You'd think a 1988 movie would be available on popular Internet streaming subscription services. But this classic wasn't, and was worth the purchase price! Great to share with anyone who has a notion of basic training in the military!

does this work on a mini ipad

Yes - as long as it has the Lightning USB connector (not the older 30-pin connector) on your mini. Works fine for my wife’s iPad mini.

I just installed this outlet. My old outlet had the ability to use a switch on the wall for power, but after installing the new outlet the switch no longer functions. The outlet is working properly other than working with the wall switch. Any suggestions?

Sounds like your wall outlet also serves as a junction box for the wires coming & going to the switch. If the wall outlet works fine, but doesn't turn off with the switch, then you have wired it to the "hot" side, or the supply-side of the switch. It's too late to tell you to connect the same wires that were in the old outlet into this new outlet, so you'll want to turn off the circuit breaker to this outlet, reopen the outlet cover, unscrew this outlet/charger and look for unused wires in the receptacle box. There's probably a 2-wire or 2-wire plus ground cable that runs to the switch. When the switch is ON, both wires are hot (meaning they have power if you measure with a voltmeter or indicator light when the circuit breaker is back on). When the switch is off, one wire will still be hot (supply-side) and the other will be cold (load side). Cold means no voltage from that wire to ground. It's this cold wire you want going into the outlet, along with the ground wire and the return wire. I'd reference colors, such as black is hot and white is return, but your outlet may have broken that protocol when the switch was placed in-line. It's best to measure with a voltmeter to be sure.
By the way, any unused wires in the receptacle box need to be capped with an insulated wire screw and electrical tape. Can't have those accidentally touching something in the box!

Can multiple device use the product for backup purposes. Also, can mobile devices download files and pictures from the cloud based internet connection.

Absolutely- multiple devices as well as mobile apps: I have iPad/iPhone devices, and WD has an app for that.

Yes you can. Visit the Garmin website or search Google for Garmin Express (on Garmin's website for security). Their handy program helps you transfer waypoints, add different icons, and even new voices (There are some cool free ones on Garmin, and you can buy celebrity impersonators on other sites!).
