Question: How is the experience?

I have no problem with the functions of this product: it has a decent wireless range, set up is easy and it has a nice form. However, this is a product that takes away your control of your settings locally and sends them to the cloud. This is an idea that may disturb some. I was a little surprised to see I had no choice (when I first got this, the Cisco Connect Cloud wasn't online and the setup location was local, i.e., on my computer). Later I went to check some settings, and after typing in the 192.168, etc. address, I could see I was being redirected to the internet and their cloud. I felt a little cheated, like they took away from me my own stuff and from now on I had to go through them to get it. Still, I went through using it and even downloaded the smartphone app, which was neat to have remote control in my hand (if my son didn't get off when I told him, I could kill his connection from my phone!). Things, however, went bad.For some reason, I stopped being able to get to the cloud at all, from my smartphone or via any computer. I was completely shut out of any router controls. Cisco support is easy to get to, but after many back and forths, and resets and re installs, they still couldn't tell me what was wrong or what I needed to do to fix it. So, we reverted back to the original, locally based router management software. On one hand, I like having control back in my hands, but on the other, I'm not sure Cisco is ever going to update or support the old software (they seem to be headed to the cloud, like it or not).Basically, it works fine as a router and wireless device, but if you don't want to give up control of your setup to Cisco's cloud, you won't like this. If you use the cloud, there is the advantage of being able to do some configuring from your smartphone, but it may not be something you use all the time, either.

Question: What did you think of the modem signal?

Three years ago I bought a Motorola Signal Booster 484095-001-00 and it still is working well.  Two months ago I needed another, but I saw this Channel Master model ant it was cheaper than the Motorola and included the splitter.  Channel Master is a brand that I learned to trust, but two months later it doesn't work anymore.  I found out by disconnecting it and putting the splitter that it replaced back in.  The signal strength was stronger with the splitter than with the amplifier.  I bought another Motorola Signal Booster 484095-001-00 and ran it through the old splitter and this works better than the Channel Master ever did.  Maybe you get what you pay for?  Maybe just bad luck?  I'll stick with Motorola for now.

Question: How is the quality?

After reading so many reviews praising the audio quality of these headphones, I decided to give them a try.  I wanted them primarily so I could listen to music without being tethered to a device.  While the bluetooth maintains a connection well and has a decent range, the sound quality just isn't very good.  Why is it engineers can get HD video with surround wound to work flawlessly wirelessly, but they can't get good quality audio from wireless headphones?  I consider these to be a bit pricey, so I expected better.For what it's worth, they work fine for talking on the phone.

Question: Are the images of very good quality?

When I bought this lens, it rarely came off my camera.  It has since been replaced as my favorite by the Canon 35mm f/2 (mainly because it has better construction and a wider viewing angle for my T3i's crop sensor).  The image is nice and sharp, the bokeh is pretty good (if it's open all the way it's very pentagonal), and it does a decent job focusing.  Manual focusing is challenging and the lack of image stabilization makes handheld video challenging as well, but it's a great lens to get after the kit.  It feels very plasticy, but I haven't had any issues.

Question: What about quality?

My son purchased these because his last pair of apple earbuds and the Philips were terrible.  He decided on these in-ear headphones and loves them.  He says the sound quality is great and so much better than the apple and the Philips.  He said that he had to get use to the in-ear but he got use to them really fast.  Highly recommend and will buy again.

Question: How is battery?

This is by far the best mouse I've owned. Stylish and precise, feels great in the hand as well. The one thing I have to complain about is battery life. I use this on a daily basis at work and I find myself having to recharge it once a week. It's not a huge complaints because the included battery is rechargable and you can recharge by plugging a USB cable, but most other wireless mice has a considerably longer battery life. That's the only reason I'm giving this a 4 instead of 5 stars.Also, the scroll wheel had a feature that wasn't obvious to me at first when I looked at the product online: there is a small button next to the scroll wheel which switches between normal scrolling found in other mice (where you hear a grinding noise as you scroll) and a smooth super-fast scrolling (with this, if you spin the scroll wheel fast, it just keeps scrolling freely on its own for a good couple of seconds before it stops!)

Question: How was the setup like?

It doesn't have the functionality that other streamers have in terms of the variety of supported application but for $35 + tax you get a nice compact device that can play netflix, Google Play (online movie rental/buy service, similar to iTunes), Google Chrome and youtube. The 'cast is also an open platform so they say the final word is far from being said here, and there's a lot more to come.There is no remote or some on screen interface. The device is controlled via mobile devices or pc/laptop using the chromecast mobile app. I have the app on my iphone and Nexus 7 (android). Integration with the devices is OK but can be improved in terms of interface however playback for Netflix and Google Play was flawless for me.Setup is super easy and simple. You basically don't need to type in almost any information other than naming you device (optional but useful if you have more than one). Just plug it in, and let the app on you phone/device set up itself. Note however that the chromcast turns off when not in use so you have to turn on your tv and switch to the chromecast to wake it up so you can set it up (say on another device).I hope this device will support other apps in the future, like Amazon for example. But for now I'm extremely happy for the price I paid.

Question: How loud does the bass sound?

I had been looking for a replacement for my old Sony monitor headphones.I was thinking about 5.1 or wireless ones and then a few days ago the V-MODA was a today's deal.After reading the reviews and checking some Audiophile review sites I decided to give them a try.Checking the packaging and carry case top notch and the two braided kevlar cables are the best I have seen on a set of cans.Now the sound excellent right out the box blows the Sonys away.I have two pairs of Ultimate Ears that have great sound the V-Modas beats them.I use Flim & the BB's Tricycle to test any audio components because I know what its supposed to sound like.The highs are crisp and the bass sounds the way it's meant to be.Some say the bass is overpowering I don't think so not like Beats that sound terrible.I'm burning them so the sound should get even better.I very happy with this deal.

Question: How is the shipment?

The instructions are adequate.  You shouldn't have ay problems understanding them.  I did run into one issue.  The mount is not compatible with all TV's.  For instance, I bought a 60" LG 3D TV from another site for a Cyber Monday deal of $600.  Replaced my 47".  HOWEVER, the LG I bought has integrated speakers that are "down firing" in the base and the bottom is approximately 3/4 of an inch wider than anywhere else on the TV.  So, after I placed the TV on the wall, because the bottom speaker was slightly larger, I could not get to the safety screw of the mount.  So, the TV is hanging, but, the safety screws are not tightened.  You can't ever so slightly pull the TV from the wall either or the screws will not line up.  Does it work? Yes.  But, if you have kids (which I don't), or live in an earthquake area (which I don't), you may not want to use this with certain LG TV's.It's is sturdy, it does include a long HDMI cable and a level.  The value is great, the construction is good.  I would recommend this.  Just heed my advise if using an LG TV.

Question: How clear was the sound?

These were my first wireless headphones after using corded headphones for years. I realize they are probably considered on the low end for wireless, but I did expect at least decent performance and some ability to enjoy music. The headphones are light and not uncomfortable. The recharger works just fine and the distance range is OK. Other than that, they are a total disappointment. The dynamic range seems very compressed around the vocal frequencies with the higher frequencies the most affected although the bass is also weak. Virtually none of my music sounds good. Only a few things which were already lacking in dynamic range originally sound just OK. Too much range and listening enjoyment is simply lost with these headphones.  I don't like them.

Question: How is the space?

This is my third Cheetah wall mount. I purchased this one for a 55" Samsung LCD TV. Just like before the mout came with all the needed hardware includingn some thick plastic washers to allow me to attach the straight vertical bracket to a rounded backside of the the TV. The mount is so thin that I barely have 1 1/2 inches between the wall and the back of the TV. It's close enough that its difficult to plug any wires into the back of the TV after it's hung.The construction is solid. The thick wood scres wit tight in the wall's 2x4 (make sure you have a studfinder or are willing to drill some scout holes). The TV hangs very secure.The product arrived and works excatly as advertised. It was cheap, but not cheaply made. I would recommend it.

Question: How is the configuration?

I had my internet up and running with this router in minutes. It was not simply plug and play, but I believe that is par for the course with cable internet service. I plugged all the cables in, and there was no internet connection. I simply then went through the guided setup available through the router's administration portal and I was all set. We noticed a big difference with our wireless network speed and reach after hooking this router up. Previously, we had trouble streaming high quality videos on our iPads from the other side of the house. After setting this router up, we have no problems. This could be due our old router being just old and slow. But I also used the dual-band feature, and have our iPads connected to the 5 ghz network. I think that we noticed the improvement because we are getting less interference from cell phones and baby monitors. We also have the 2.4 GHZ network running for devices that are not 5 GHZ capable (my cell phone, for example). Altogether, I'm very pleased with this router and would recommend to others.

We also have the 2.4 GHZ network running for devices that are not 5 GHZ capable (my cell phone, for example). Altogether, I'm very pleased with this router and would recommend to others.

I had my internet up and running with this router in minutes. It was not simply plug and play, but I believe that is par for the course with cable internet service. I plugged all the cables in, and there was no internet connection. I simply then went through the guided setup available through the router's administration portal and I was all set. We noticed a big difference with our wireless network speed and reach after hooking this router up. Previously, we had trouble streaming high quality videos on our iPads from the other side of the house. After <hl> setting this router up, we have no problems <hl>. This could be due our old router being just old and slow. But I also used the dual-band feature, and have our iPads connected to the 5 ghz network.

Question: How is the ear?

I bought these headphones after reading all the positive reviews I read here and I must say that the reviews are pretty accurate - these headphones are great.  For portable headphones they produce bass very well, much better than the ones that came with the Ipod or $30 Sony ear buds.  The mids are clear and the highs are sufficient.  The case is a nice feature and looks cool but its a slight hassle to use.I also have Grado SR-60's which have better sound but aren't portable and not very comfortable for long periods of time.  These Sennheisers are very comfortable and stay on your head snugly which make them great for working out.

Question: How heavy is the laptop?

So, after reading hundreds of computer reviews, I decided to go with this Asus.  I was impressed that a touch screen would be fairly affordable (similar non-touch laptops were in the $500-600 range, so this wasn't a big jump).  I was also excited about the hybrid hard drive, so I took the plunge and bought it.First of all, it's a gorgeous computer.  The brushed black back is lovely and the computer is sleek and smooth and beautiful.  I was already in love when I took it out of the box.  It's light--4 lbs--and super easy to fit into a backpack or even a large purse.  I turned it on, set up Windows 8 (which is initially confusing as heck, even for someone who is totally comfortable using computers), and I started playing with the apps so that I could get a sense of how well the touch screen worked.  I had no problem using the gestures, like pinch to zoom, two-finger scrolling, and panning.  It's as sensitive as any tablet I've used.  Wonderful!  I did briefly have trouble with the touchpad, but after installing all the Asus updates and Windows 8 updates, all is well.  You can do all of the same gestures on the touchpad, by the way.  And the touchpad is huge!  I like it, but it's different than what I'm used to.Okay, so on to the other stuff.  Just so you know, I am a PhD student, so I often have multiple programs open: Google Chrome, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Adobe Reader, etc.  I don't require the kind of CPU and memory as someone who does more intensive computing or gaming, but I do notice when things begin to lag.  Things I care about: USB 3.0 (there is one), the touch screen, the sound quality, and ability to run 3-6 programs smoothly and quickly.  As I said, the touch screen is great.  The sound quality is also surprisingly good, and it gets significantly louder than my old laptop.  With headphones plugged in, the sound is excellent, even at the lowest volumes (I've been listening at approx. 12% volume).  And the computer has been great with multiple programs.  I have only had it for a few days, but I've been putting it through the ringer.  So far, it's passed with flying colors.  It's gorgeous, it runs smoothly and quickly for my needs, and it seems to be an awesome product.  This computer and I are a match made in heaven.

Question: What is the price of the camera?

This is a good little camera. I thought long and hard before I gave it only three stars. But, despite it being better than any other compact, I still have lots of criticism.The good:The image quality is very strong. Not as good as the DP1/2, but that camera is a disaster in nearly all other regards. With F/2 and and 400 you'll likely get the indoor shot you need. And when that fails, 800 is tolerable. The LX3 is a zippy performer too. While a little slow on the startup, the auto-focus is decently quick (could be better) and the shot to shot performance is quite good. The full-auto mode is good too. Hand the camera over to a novice and he/she will get a good shot. Love the aspect ratio.The meh:The zoom range is a little limited. But I'm not too bothered by it. Other than macro, I can't imagine the manual focus ever being usable. I'd gladly give up some screen real estate for a viewfinder (even an evf). An integrated lens cap would have been a nice touch, as would a wrist strap. It'd be nice if the RAW format were more open. At the time of this review Aperture doesn't support it at all and Lightroom only kinda supports it.The bad:My main complaint is the interface. It's not awful. In fact it's probably better than most compacts. But this camera had so much manual potential, only to be let down my too many darned buttons. The user programable setting are a good example. It has four presets. But only two of them are really useful. The other two require you to turn the dial, hit the select button, navigate down and then confirm; you just missed your shot. I wonder why it would be so difficult to have two or three more dials on the camera to control shutter, aperture and ISO? Instead, we get the worlds tiniest joystick. Again, by the time you've actually changed a setting you probably missed the shot. Also, why is a manual focus that goes around the lens so hard to implement? It's such a wonderful convention that is almost never seen on a compact.The wrap up:I do really like this camera. It's a good RAW shooter with good quality; all in a compact package. But, I hope that Panasonic really concentrates on the fundamentals for the LX4. A viewfinder and a couple of dials or knobs would have made this a four star camera for sure. If they managed to squeeze a larger sensor in too, it would be the best camera of all time.The unrelated:Shame on Amazon for allowing price gouging from their partners. Currently (April/May 2009) the LX3K is quite scarce. I ended up paying a reasonable $50 over MSRP. But during the shortage the camera has been on sale for as much as $750 ($250 over MSRP!). Capitalism, the free market and supply/demand are all good things. But I'm a little offended that Amazon would allow their customers to be bludgeoned by such heavy pricing. Remember, just because someone agrees to be taken advantage of, doesn't make it right to do so.

Question: How is it the sound?

I bought this cute little speaker to play outside near the pool. I plugged it in to my iPod and heard nothing. Read the instructions on how to turn it on (duh) and could barely hear any music. Then I turned the volume up on the iPod as loud as it would go and still the sound on the speaker was really low. So I tried it on my Kindle Fire and the sound blasted out the room. But why won't it work on my iPod??? The iPod is an older version, but that shouldn't matter since it works on every other device I own.Changed my mind after I tinkered with the iPod and got the sound to work. It's amazing!!! Very happy now and highly recommend this speaker!

Question: How is the sound quality?

These have been a great pair for me.  Initially they seemed a bit expensive.  However, these have lasted for 2 years, and are still going strong.  They have exceptional sound quality and decent sound isolation.  They are quite comfortable for in-ears, more so than all others I've tried.  No problems with these so far and I expect them to last because they seem very durable.  They only thing lacking is a "big bass" but I'm not a fan of over-bearing bass anyway.  The reason for 4 stars is the price should be a bit lower and the bass a bit higher.

Question: How about function?

This is a fine set of receiver, but I have my own issues with it. I have been using it for last 3 weeks and found it a little disappointing.1. It is too huge, too tall. I had to get a separate furniture just for this.2. The airplay disconnects very frequently.3. The YAOC is good, but cannot replace your own ears for calibration. I was never happy with the calibration done by YAOC4. No cables included5. I am just using the 7ch music setting, everything else sounds just odd6. The apps on android and iOS are just crap. Difficult to use and navigate. But they add useful functionality. The feature that I liked was, give the IP address of the receiver on any device and it opens control to access it, the apps are not required for that sense.7. Remote is clunky. The buttons are too small, non-ergonomic and hard.8. Does not play video from USB. And playing video files plays audio with lots of breaks.9. The on screen menu is badly designed. It could be lot better.I like the internet radio, but used it just once, the receiver is not to blame but the channels and the quality of music streaming, did not use it again.

Question: Is the transfer rate good?

Just got it today. 11/29/11. I love the size and the fact that it has a protective shield which can be turned over when using it (instead of having a cap which I always loose or retractible feature which doesn't always work as it suppose to.It came with some software which I uninstalled right away (no need for that) and also it came formated in FAT32, I re-formated to NTFS (even though it's only 8gb I still would like to be able save files over 4gb in size.The transfer speed is only 3 MB/sec which is ok since it only has 8gb of space anyways.For the purpose I purchased this drive it is absolutely perfect and does what it suppose to do, so I'm very happy.I definetly recomend this product.Please note if you trying to watch 1080p movies of this drive you need to look into something else as the transfer speed would be too slow and the size would not allow you to have any movies over 8gb, we all know most of 1080p movies these days take around 10 to 15 GB.

Question: Do you have a good screen?

I really love my macbook air, and I seriously considered buying another one for my kids to use. Then this little guy showed up. I was sold when Engadget said it was 80% of the macbook air experience at a fraction of the price. I'd say it's more like 60% of the macbook air experience, but that's still an incredible deal for the price.Drawbacks:You can't print. You can set up google cloudprint but I haven't gotten it to work yet. You can't do anything that isn't inside a web browser. 95% of my computer usage is inside google chrome anyway, so that's not a huge deal for me as a second computer. You can't edit video or do anthing else that requires more than a simple file system and a web browser.Advantages:The keyboard and touchpad are near-mackbook quality. That makes them better than 70 percent of all laptops out there. Not a small thing. I love the two-finger scrolling which you can reverse so it works like a mac. Google calls it simple scrolling. There is two-finger right click too.The screen is fine. I wish I could put the bottom-of-the-screen launcher bar on the side of the screen to save precious vertical pixels.Interface is good. I set up separate user account for each of my kids. Not as smooth as a mac but smoother than windows 7.Build quality is better than your average laptop but not up to macbook standards. Considering the price it's amazingly well put together.Bottom line:  For someone like me who spends most of my computer time in chrome for mac, this is a natural second computer. It would be great for a student computer. If you want to edit videos or do other things that don't work very well in a web browser you should look elsewhere.You could easily spend three times this much and get a computer with a lesser keyboard, lesser touchpad, and inferior build quality.

I'd say it's more like 60% of the macbook air experience, but that's still an incredible deal for the price. Drawbacks:You can't print. You can set up google cloudprint but I haven't gotten it to work yet. You can't do anything that isn't inside a web browser. 95% of my computer usage is inside google chrome anyway, so that's not a huge deal for me as a second computer. You can't edit video or do anthing else that requires more than a simple file system and a web browser. Advantages:The keyboard and touchpad are near-mackbook quality. That makes them better than 70 percent of all laptops out there. Not a small thing. I love the two-finger scrolling which you can reverse so it works like a mac. Google calls it simple scrolling. There is two-finger right click too. <hl> The screen is fine . <hl> I wish I could put the bottom-of-the-screen launcher bar on the side of the screen to save precious vertical pixels. Interface is good. I set up separate user account for each of my kids. Not as smooth as a mac but smoother than windows 7.Build quality is better than your average laptop but not up to macbook standards. Considering the price it's amazingly well put together. Bottom line: For someone like me who spends most of my computer time in chrome for mac, this is a natural second computer. It would be great for a student computer. If you want to edit videos or do other things that don't work very well in a web browser you should look elsewhere. You could easily spend three times this much and get a computer with a lesser keyboard, lesser touchpad, and inferior build quality.

Question: Is it a wireless keyboard?

Edit: After being completely disgusted about the right shift key location, I searched for key-remapping options.  SharpKeys is a quick-and-easy solution for Windoze 2000/XP/7/8.  Make sure you download it from the author's website as the first two installers I downloaded (from sites I had considered trustworthy) were full of bloatware.  Once installed, I swapped the mapping of the up-arrow and right shift keys on my K400 and wow what a difference.  I'm actually pretty happy with this keyboard after this fix.  I would increase the rating to 4 stars, but the credit goes to randyrants_dot_com for the software, not Logitech.  The only downside with this fix is that it swaps the keys in the OS, so if you plug in another keyboard the up-arrow and right shift will be swapped on that too.  And if you VNC or Remote Desktop you will likely experience the same problem there.The only unfortunate thing with this finding is that there are so many reviews of this keyboard it's not likely that many existing owners will see this fix.Original Review:The K400 is a decent wireless keyboard.  The layout is pretty good given the small format.  The tactile feedback is good.  The battery life, so far, has been pretty good.  I've only had the keyboard for 2 months but just discovered the on/off switch, so I'm fairly impressed the battery has lasted this long (although it may also have an auto-off power save feature).  The range is just okay.  The spec indicates > 30', but my couch is just 10' from my PC in my media center and if I'm reclined or have my legs up a bit it tends to block the transmission.  If I have the media cabinet door closed the range is only a few feet at best.Despite these few short comings, this would be a nearly 5-star product save the one fatal flaw -- the location of the right shift key.  If you look at the right shift key on any well-used keyboard you'll generally see a shiny spot on the left side - where most people strike the key.  Logitech, a company which typically puts out some good, smart products, blew this one.  They put the up-arrow key in this location, making a skinny little shift key to the left of the up-arrow.  After two months of use I still up-arrow virtually every time I try to use the left shift key.  It drives me nuts and and is the reason for the 2-star review.  I have no earthly idea what they were thinking, I can only assume they never actually tested it.

Question: How did you like headphone?

These headphones are great for listening to music and watching videos. These get the jobs done for people who arent sound anal. If your looking for headphones that offer great sound, and are comfortable these are great and look good on your head.

Question: How would you describe the keyboard we bought from amazon?

I am very pleased with this keyboard after almost two months with it.  It's not ergnomic enough for my taste for daily all day use, although it would be a step up from a laptop keyboard if that were your only other choice.  However, for occasional use -- in my case on an HTPC (Mac Mini) -- it's great.  You just can't beat the solar powered aspect, assuming it holds up for years.The mini usb unifying receiver is cool, it truly is tiny enough to leave plugged into your laptop permanently - I had it on a MacBook Pro for a week or so before moving it to the Mac Mini HTPC.  Works great in windows too for the few times I used it in Win 7 in my bootcamp environment.The size of it and the keys are great, and having a full sized numeric keypad may not appeal to all but I find it very useful.I've got a logitech m515 "couch mouse" due to arrive tomorrow to use with this.If you're used to using the standard keyboards that come with keyboards (I'm an ergonomic keyboard snob admittedly - i.e. the Naturals) I think you'd be fine for daily use.For what it is, what it promises, and what it delivers, this is definitely a 5 star product.

Question: How is the sound?

They do hum loader than I prefer and the sound is a bit tinny. Coming from a Altec like type system I was not impressed with the mix of highs and low sounds of treble and bass. Seems a good value for the money but may just use them for the flat screen for when we want louder sound for some movies of sporting events.

Question: What are the specifications of the product?

First and foremost, great customer service. I can't state this enough. I received an email on Easter from a real person. I had trouble with the antenna at first but when I laid it down on the table beside my tv.....voila.....I started getting new channels. Who knows? Even if this doesn't work for you the customer service is so good there'll be no worries in returning the item. Just try it!Update:  October 2012:  This antenna no longer works.  I do not know if it is an issue with the connector or not but it stopped working.  So in all lasted about 1 1/2 years.  Disappointed for sure.

Question: How is the white color quality on this screen?

My 19" 4:3 Viewsonic monitor that I purchased in 2003 starting having issues.  The monitor was taking a LONg time to warm up and turn on.  Basically the capacitors were dying.  I continued to use it before finally deciding to purchase this unit.  At 22" it takes up a wee bit more space.  The monitor is lighter than the old unit.  The image is really clear.  The display resolution is now at 1960x1600.  The buttons for the unit are on the stand underneath the monitor.  A tad inconvenient for constant use.  Okay maybe more than a tad inconvenient.  I had to get a flashlight to see the buttons to figure out which ones to press.  However, the monitor is great.  The stand is very sturdy.  It uses about 22 watts when viewing the Amazon website and 1 watt when sleeping.  I would recommend this monitor.

Question: How about audio?

I purchased the Mediabridge Ultra Series HDMI Cable (15ft) to replace some older cables and to extend the length at which my equipment could be placed from the TV.  The Mediabridge cables have performed very well.  The picture and audio quality have been excellent and the price is hard to beat, especially for a 15ft HDMI cable.  Definitely recommended.

Question: What should be done with the stands?

This is my review for the New Trent Airbender 1.0 (NT38B).  I received this product and right off the bat I liked the packaging and the helpful instructions inside.  After having a chance to use It I was blown away.  It has sturdy construction and the battery life on the keyboard is very nice.  Not to mention rechargeable.  In other products you would have to lug around a keyboard and a case if you wanted something to protect your device and be able to be productive.  With this case it is all in one.  I liked the adjustability of the orientations that the pad could be put in it helps when doing different tasks.  I also liked the adjustability because there are sometimes depending on light and other factors when you need the Ipad to be at a certain angle.I have in the past had a case that did well with protecting it, and had a stand but it was two pieces and the stand was not very adjustable.  I would have to use other small items to prop the screen up further.I also believe this case provides decent protection to my device, although I am not sure I would want to drop it in this case as I think the case would not fully protect it.  But for every day usage I believe that it would hold up.I like the look and feel of the keyboard the layout is nice and they keys are great to type with.  I do not do a lot of writing on my pad but with some of the new apps coming out for the pad I just may start on my memoirs.  Syncing the pad to the keyboard was quick and easy and worked right out of the box with no charging required.  The response of the keys are very fast and I do not even notice the time it take over Bluetooth.New Trent also took care to make sure all of the proper ports were left unobstructed. I even find that most aftermarket cables for the ipad function with this case on.  The one thing I would like to see, and I am not sure if it is even possible would be a all in one usb cord.  One that could connect to a apple charger and into a single usb port instead of having to find two separate ports to use for charging and using the pad.  I do admit that this would be a rare thing but I think it would put this product over the top.I think this product would be great for business men and women, a suitable replacement for a cumbersome laptop or when you just need something small for traveling.  It is a little hard to fit most modern day laptops on a seatback not to mention they are very heavy.  With this product you get a mini laptop just for the cost of your already purchased ipad and less than $40.00.I have enjoyed all the New Trent products to date and I can not wait to see what the good people in this company come up with next.
