Excellent beverage from The Coca Cola Company. They changed the name but the product is still as good as ever.

I bought this because it was marked half off. It is a fantastic case for the iPhone 8 Plus (will also fit the 6 Plus and 7 Plus), It's protective and retains the form factor. The coating on it is also a nice touch and feels good in the hand. Works great with the controls, and it also has a neat little knob that turns the mute switch on the side off and on.
For full price (49.99) I'm not sure if I would get it, which is why I am only giving it 4 stars. But if it's on sale? Grab it. The red and gray cases are also very sharp.

Best protective case for the iPad Pro 10.5
on November 13, 2017
Posted by: Scottso
from Framingham, MA
Verified Purchase:Yes
Overall a good case. The big strength is that it provides the best protection by far of any keyboard case out there. Its a little bulky, but not bad. It also has a backlit keyboard with 7 colors.
That said I found connecting and disconnecting it with Bluetooth something of a pain. Connecting it to bluetooth I often found could be hit or miss; and when I wanted to use it as just a tablet disconnecting it sometimes took as long. There'd also be times where I'd lose a connection while using it. Also, the tray the iPad goes in is fine; but seems like it could break if you're not careful.
I would probably give this 3.5 stars if I could; but I will round up to 4 because it is a good product and other people may have better luck than I did.
That said, it's not expensive and when it works it's fine. I'm not sure if Zagg plans to make a super-rugged case like they do for other iPad and iPad Pro models; but that would be a better solution, and I think the demand is there for it.

Best keyboard solution for the iPad Pro 10.5
on November 13, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
I like this a lot. Like most Logi products it's well made and provides decent protection. It uses the smart connector (no bluetooth) which saves battery life. Plus when disconnected from the smart connector, it's disconnected. Pairing and unpairing from Bluetooth can be a real pain. It's also thin and provides a decent level of protection.
Of a limited selection, this gives you the best value for your money. Would be nice if BBY carried it in blue in the stores.

A very good first effort
on November 13, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a very innovative product. Pros: the sound is good, it allows for personal listening while not closing you off from the world, Bose quality. Cons: price is on the high side; even when played at a relatively low level, other people can hear it fairly clearly. It's also a little on the heavy side, though I wouldn't call it uncomfortable and you can park it on your neck and just leave it there.
I wound up returning it because it wasn't the best fit for me; but I'm sure that the next iteration will be better. As it is, though, for a first effort it is very good.

Excellent and powerful little speaker. I carry it around in my backpack all the time, it pairs easy, and it looks good, and is quite compact. Indeed, I got this because I wanted something small for my backpack. It is higher than other speakers in its class but like all Bose products it delivers.

Excellent Chromebook
on November 13, 2017
Posted by: Scottso

Verified Purchase:Yes
I really like this. The big selling points are the resolution quality (as good as a higher end computer) and the big screen. Boot it up and you're on your way. It's thin and light and uses power efficiently.
I demand a lot from my chromebook and it gets bogged down sometimes; but it is not bad and is great for what I need it for. I have a MacBook Pro, and I find myself using this as my go to laptop.
If you are willing to forego a touch screen and a 2-in-1 factor, this is a no-brainer. And if it's on sale, all the better.

Excellent, but wait until they're on sale
on March 2, 2017
Posted by: Scottso
Verified Purchase:Yes
I got these when they were marked down to 149. At that price point they're excellent. They pair as easy to the iPhone as advertised, the range is outstanding, and the sound is as natural as the Beats line has been. The firmware can be upgraded online, and they do charge fast and hold a charge. Some people have complained about the rubber carrying case as being a downgrade. However, I can tell you it's fine. In fact, I found it plenty protective, plus it was easy to get the headphones in and out. Indeed, I like it better.
For 199 these headphones are fairly priced. But if you are patient eventually the price will drop again - I have seen the Beats3 sell for as low as 149 for the basic black, and 179 for some of the sharper colors (volt/black, blue/gray). At those price points, grab it.
Keep in mind that with this release Beats has become more integrated with the Apple ecosystem. These will still work with other Bluetooth devices just fine; but the Beats3 headphones are clearly optimized for Apple products. Know that going in and you'll be fine.

The new MacBook Pro is faster and more powerful than before, yet remarkably thinner and lighter.¹ It has the brightest, most colorful Mac notebook display ever. And it introduces the revolutionary Touch Bar—a Multi-Touch– enabled strip of glass built into the keyboard for instant access to what you want to do, when you want to do it. The new MacBook Pro is built on groundbreaking ideas. And it’s ready for yours.

Best Macbook Pro Ever
on March 2, 2017
Posted by: Scottso
Verified Purchase:Yes
I'm a Mac and have been. I decided to buy a new Mac and went with one of the entry level models. While it was very good, I saw it could get bogged down at times; and I also wanted the touch bar.
So I returned it and got this. And I'm glad I did. It is the best MacBook Pro Apple has come out with yet - it's thin (maybe as thin as the original MacBook Air units), its plenty powerful, and the built in speakers are very, very good. The touch screen so far I would say is a "nice to have" but it offers Touch ID to log on, seems to be very responsive, and gives you what you need when you need it. There are no glitches or bugs either - as the late Steve Jobs said, it just works. There are also 4 USB-C ports on it, which are great and will get better as more accessories come out for it. The 256GB solid state drive is also more than enough.
Apple's selling point for this is the touch bar, and for a first time out it's very promising. However, it's the power and form factor and the basics that make this a winner.
Keep in mind that Apple is moving to a model where effectively units can no longer be upgraded by users after purchase, but I think even for power users this will prove an excellent machine that will still be relevant five years from now. And it is pricey, no doubt (this being the lowest cost touch bar MacBook Pro); but Apple machines do hold their value, are built well, aren't buggy, and they can still run the latest software even years after release. I'm sure this will be no exception. This is why I'm A Mac.

Good protective case, limited functionality
on March 2, 2017
Posted by: Scottso
Verified Purchase:Yes
This is a good, basic keyboard case for the iPad Mini. The keys are well spaced out and the unit itself is attractive. It's also protective. If you are willing to convert your iPad mini into a full-time laptop, or you do a lot of typing, then this is for you; otherwise you may want to find a more versatile keyboard case, or get a folio case and use it with a bluetooth keyboard.

When will this item be available in stores? I keep hearing that it will arrive any day now. I have heard that for over a week now. Can you help SKU 6008335 model 104442-6683 Thanks
It's available now. If it's not in your local store, you can certainly get it online. Suggestion: wait until it's marked down. BBY tends to discount Speck cases to what are excellent price points.

Does the keyboard include a keyboard lighting when you type something especially when in dark rooms? If I preorder this, when will it arrive or be available?
