Broke 5 minutes after receiving it Opened the package and tried to put my iPhone 4S in the bracket...and it broke. They're using a cheap spring, something you'd see used in a disposable ballpint pen and the spring just lost its tention while trying to fit my phone. If they had used slightly longer one it might of worked...not! Without the spring, I extended the arm to its maximum length and there're no way you can put your iPhone 4/4S without putting a lot of stress to the sides of your phone. This should have been manufactured with additional 1/4 inch.Upon inspecting the packaging, it says "Mobile Holder" with a picture of a phone from 7-8 years ago. Nowhere does the packaging refers to iPhone or Android phone.It's not worth my time to try to return it. Save your money and get something else.---------------- Update ----------------------------------------I found a much better mount callediStabilizer MobiMount Smartphone Tripod Mountfor my iPhone (I gave it 4 stars). Until I find an even better one, it is going to be my mount of choice for my iPhone.

good form factor, great phone The HTC One S is more narrow than other current smart phones. It actually fits the HD screen you see on modern TVs when held horizontally. This means more scrolling when reading horizontally and a smaller onscreen keyboard when swype-ing, so it gave me pause when ordering. Having used it for six months, I can say that I've gotten used to these challenges, even though I do have big fingers and I especially enjoy the form factor.Bottom line is that a phone fits in your hand, and this one fits better than others with large screeens. It is also very thin with rounded edges. Even with a form-fitting cover (see separate review) it fits in my pocket and my hand so much better than the other options. As you know, I carry it every day, so this really matters more than the hypothetical loss of screen real estate.Phone calls are clear, reception is excellent, and wifi works great (I usually don't have a data plan, since when I'm away from buildings I generally only want to do phone calls, read books, or look up information in my databases.My go to app is google mail, calendar, and contacts, all of which are syncing fine between my computer and phone.For reading, I have used kindle for android, adobe reader, and Olive Tree Bible Study app. I am satisfied with all of them. I also occasionally use the built in software to access MS office files (through dropbox) and it has worked fine.I have used the phone to watch you tube videos, but I don't really see a phone as a TV.I do use the camera quite a bit. While the optics are a step down from the larger lens on my Nikon P60, I always have it with me and the resolution is adequate for screen viewing, but not for extensive enlargements. E.g., it's better for memories than for publication.I am totally pleased with this phone. It is plenty fast enough for my mobile apps and it has already served me well for six months. I hope you can get a good deal on one yourself.Technical note: it does take the smaller sim cards. It also has 16 gb storage, but no removable sd card or battery. I have not found this a problem though it was something I considered at the time of purchase, and as you can see, I greatly appreciate the form factor, which benefits from these space saving measures.And if you're wondering, it's so much nicer than any iphone I've seen, just in my humble opinion as someone who doesn't subscribe to the istore game..

Poor Signal Dont Buy this phone!!!!! Spend your money on a name brand product. This phone has the worst signal reception ever. I feel like I am in a commercial driving around to find a signal. With my other nokia E71 on the straight talk service I had perfect reception. I get the worst reception now at my house were it was once 3g. The screen seems to have a gel patter when I touch different parts. It will probably turn into a 5" paper weight. Spend the money on a name brand product like Nokia, Dell, Samsung, HTC, or another reliable phone manufacture. This is just a cheap copy and works like a cheap copy. I want to throw this phone against the wall about 4 times a day. Ohh and I have to restart the phone about 4 times a day too just for it to locate a signal. So all in all save the money stick with a good product.

Plenty of memory, but NO memory! Buy the Samsung Rugby Smart at your own RISK! This phone has been a nightmare from day 1. When I first received the phone I could not receive a lot of my multimedia text. Now it's over six months later and I'm still battling with this issue. The dang thing just will not download my multimedia pictures. I have called AT&T; several times over the last few months trying to find out what the source of the problem is. They have been of little help, they only give me excuses of what the problem could be. The last solution that they gave me was to have all multimedia text send to my G-mail account. What an inconvenience, not only to me but to anybody sending me multimedia text. The next biggest problem I have with this Samsung Rugby Smart, is the phone says I do not have enough memory. I believe this phone comes with 8GB of memory, plus I have a 8GB memory card installed. I only have a couple of games on the phone and a couple of family photos which I can not get to my photos because it's saying "I do not have enough memory delete some items". Neither can I get to my music because it's saying the same thing. And my phone shows it has plenty of internal memory! And by the way my memory card is empty and it shows that it is empty, but I can not transfer anything from the phone to the memory card because when I try to do so, it says that the memory card is full. It makes and receive phone calls just fine. It takes pictures just fine, but you can not see them using this phone, you have to take the memory card out and put it into another device! This phone is a piece of JUNK! If all I wanted to was make and receive phone calls, I could just bought a prepaid phone of the wall at Wal-Mart. I guess I'll try to file an insurance claim on it, which will cost me another fifty bucks! Hopefully they will replace it with something different!October 11, 2012 Update:The entire phone had to be erased. The phone had to be restarted back to the point as if the phone was brand new. The phone now seems to be functioning the way it is suppose too. The down side to this is, all the memorable and funny videos are gone forever!

iPhone 4s I've had my 4s for about 3 weeks I always keep it in a bumper cover and have a screen protector on it. That being said I've dropped it several times one of which was on the metal edged coaster at work which only tore the screen protector, didn't scratch or even mark the glass in any way, as far as I'm concerned it's a tough phone considering it's made of glass. I love Siri she helps me often! I've had the 3g, the 4 and now the 4s gotta say the 4s is my fav.

Lightweight; It Sounds Great With Phone Capability! Throw away your ear buds! This headset is a great invention for wireless listening. The headset itself sits resting on the back of your head instead of the top, making it virtually unnoticeable! It charges through a USB port in about a half-hour. Then with a simple holding of the main middle button on the right side, it instantly pairs with your iPhone, iPad, Tablet - anything that holds music files. Easy to use, you can increase or decrease the volume with a simple finger hold on the right earphone. You can also jump back and forth through your songs with a simple push of the button or simply pause.Even at several feet (I tested it up to thirty feet and through three walls), the reception is very clear. When I went outside with my iPhone indoors, the music signal dropped, but immediately picked up as I entered back indoors. Don't expect strong punchy bass. But, the sound is crisp and slightly better than ear buds.As a phone, it is also remarkable. When a call comes in, the music simply fades out and you can answer the incoming call. The caller can hear you easily as well. Even outside with wind, there is no interruption of sound quality. The headset fold up neatly into a small 3" X 4 X 1.5" felt bag for carrying. This is great for outside, the beach and on planes. Note that this is not noise cancelling, so you can still hear noises and voices around you. I like the lightweight handiness of the headset over a bulky noise cancelling set. Headset generously supplied by manufacturer for an honest review.

A small, light, sleek, and overall aesthetically pleasing device that tested highly. Our mobile devices keep advancing, but it translates to faster battery depletion, and cell phone manufacturers aren't doing anything about it. Fortunately, companies like Jackery have made the Jackery Fit Premium Fast-charging Aluminum 7800mAh Power Bank as a way to compensate the demand for more power.▶ Package Contents* Jackery Fit Battery Pack* USB-micro Charging Cable* User Guide* Warranty Card* Thank you Card▶ AccessoriesThis device includes one 27 inch micro USB cable to charge the power bank and compatible mobile devices. I really like that this device uses the micro USB interface to charge, because this is the most common charging cable for mobile devices today, and is easily accessible at any electronics store.▶ SpecificationsCapacity: 7800mAhDimensions: 3.9 x 2.5 x 0.8 inchWeight: 7.3 ozInput: Micro USB 5V/2.1A (2.1A input needs a 2.1A or larger AC adapter to support)Output: USB 5V/2.1APower indication: Three groups x 2 LED indicators▶ HardwareThe description pictures make this device look much bigger and bulkier than it actually is (3.9 x 2.5 x 0.8 inch; 7.3 oz). This device can come in either an orange or silver metallic design, which looks very sleek compared to other power banks I have reviewed. On the top face is the Jackery name and logo, and three LED indicators that notifies the charge to the user when the battery is being charged or the button is pressed on the right side of the battery.LED Statuses:* 1 LED Blinking: 0%-30%* 1 LED On: 30%-60%* 2 LEDs On: 60%-95%* 3 LEDs On: 95%-100%At the top and bottom of the battery have a white gloss plastic, and on the top has an additional clear plastic layer. Both the top and bottom of the battery are fingerprint magnets, but the fingerprints are difficult to see unless you are specifically looking for fingerprints. At the top has the micro USB port, with text under "IN", an LED light, with what looks like a sun over, and a USB port, with the text over "5V 2.1A". The LED light is enabled and disabled by pressing the power button twice. This light is very bright, but the visibility is no more than 1-2 feet. This is a nice feature but your decision for an external battery shouldn't be decided by an LED light. I overall like the design of this small but sleek battery. I think the LED indicator is a bit unconventional, but that is what makes this device unique from other battery makers.▶ SetupSetup for this device is fairly simple. If you want to charge the battery, simply plug the micro USB into the appropriate port, and the USB into a computer, or for best results, a 2.1A USB wall charger. The time to charge a device on empty will take approximately 6 hours, but I received my battery with 2 LEDs and only required about an hour to fully charge. When the device has 3 full LED lights, you have completely charged your external battery.If you want to charge your mobile device, or USB charged device, then plug it into the USB port, and then press the power button to start charging.▶ TestingI started testing the voltage and current with my Centech USB Power Meter and Nexus 7 (2013). The results were as follows:Current: 0.88AVoltage: 4.90VMax Current: 0.89AMinimum Required Voltage (To power): 4.82VThis external battery will power my mobile device at 0.88A-0.89A, which is exciting that the battery uses its max current at all times. This current is also much higher than average power banks, which usually would charge my device in the 0.3A-0.5A range. You can be assured when Jackery claims this battery is "fast charging," they aren't lying.I then tested the efficiency and quickness of the charge. I used the Nexus 7 (2013) again, using a 3950mAh battery, running stock Android 4.4.2, with no excessive processes running, and in idle mode.Time: Nexus 7 Battery Life Percentage - LEDs on Jackery Fit9:15PM: 33% - 3 LEDs10:38PM: 68%11:06PM: 82% - 2 LEDs11:39PM: 94%11:45PM: 96%12:00AM: 100% - 2 LEDs2 hours 45 minutes (2.75 Hours) Total67% (2646.5mAh) Total Charge60%-95% Battery left on Jackery FitCharge per hour:2646.5mAh/2.75h = 962.36mAh per hourEfficiency:* If External Battery is 60% Charged2646.5mAh/(0.4 * 7800mAh) = 84.48%* If External Battery is 95% Charged2646.5mAh/(0.05 * 7800mAh) = 678%The battery charged 2646.5mAh in 2.75 hours, or 962.3mAh an hour, which is very fast considering I usually charge my device around 600-700mAh with my OEM 2.1A wall charger. These are above average results. The battery became fully charged at the second LED, or in the 60%-95% range, which means the charger's efficiency is 84%-678%. The charger was 2 LEDs for about an hour before fully charging my Nexus 7, which we can safely assume is nowhere near the 95% mark. Even if we can assume the battery had 60% charge left, the efficiency of 84.48% is astoundingly high for an external battery, since 70% is average. All the tests prove that this is a very fast charging and efficient battery, which makes me extremely satisfied with this device.▶ Final ThoughtsThis is a very aesthetically pleasing device that tested extremely above average during my tests. I would extremely recommend this device to anyone who needs an external battery, and is why I give this a 5 out of 5 star rating. I would honestly rate this product higher on Amazon if I could.Pros:+ A small, light, sleek, and overall aesthetically pleasing device that tested highly (962.36mAh per hour; 84.48-678% Efficient). [See testing section for details]+ Micro USB charging interface, the most common charging interface for mobile phones.+ Unique LED indicator design.+ LED "flashlight" is included but shouldn't decide your choice for external battery, as they aren't usually bright.Cons:- Fingerprint magnet at top and bottom of device.I was provided a sample in exchange for a thorough and honest review.

Disappointed Now the Phone is great condition, almost mint condition for a used phone; however, THE PHONE IS NO GOOD WITHOUT A SIM CARD!

Can't be Beat For the price, these headphones are priceless. I can not explain how well the flat cords do NOT tangle. The cords are a God-send. The sound is find and they come with multiple buds for comfort. I wear them for hours at a time without problem.I highly recommend this product.

battery fits. picture is wrong this is a Chinese made compatible battery. the good news - this fits the s5. The bad news is - it is not the product pictured. The battery i received was a different color and had different markings. It does fit the phone. After using it for several days it definitely does not last as long as the oem samsung battery. It works as a spare, but is definitely not the same caliber of cell as the samsung.

Amazing power in a watch..dual core 1GHZ and works as a full phone! We have a thread about this watch at:[...]It is very powerful! I mean you can even run emulators on it like Dreamcast, FPSE, MAME, etc as you can see on my videos below.[...][...][...][...][...]

Terrible phone case Don't get it's impossible to change your sound with the slider button not a good buy what so ever waste of money

Reliable pen for drawing and note taking I've been shopping around for a decent stylus I can use with my SGS3 and a tablet for sketching and note taking in classes. I've tried a few cheap stylus' found on amazon but they left me wanting in terms of durability and sensitivity.Well this one hits the right spot. It's relatively cheap while being comfortable and accurate enough for some really detailed sketches and notes. I'm not sure how long the carbon fiber at the tip will last, but I get the feeling it will be longer than just raw rubber tip stylus models out there.

Extra battery for Iphone 5 This thing is the answer I have been waiting for! I just received it yesterday and fully charged it. Went to the woods and sat around a campfire with iTunes playing thru my Ryobi 18 volt radio. This battery charged my phone to full as it also powered the music going to the radio. Played music for a few hours and this battery was still 75% while keeping my phone fully charged. Plus you have the flashlight feature. I love it already!

Missing cutout for microphone and case doesn't fit properly I've had the Note 3 since launch day (Oct 10), and I've been carrying it naked since that time. As you can imagine, I was pretty stoked when I checked my mailbox and found 3 shiny new cases waiting for me to try on. Unfortunately, two of the three (androidified and clone army) do not have all the proper cutouts. Specifically, the microphone cut out located to the right of the S pen is missing. Also, the Androidified case does not fit snug. In fact, some of the silver lining at the bottom of the phone is still showing. I've sent CruzerLite an e-mail and hope they replace both cases. As a side note, all 3 cases look beautiful -- but what's that if the person on the other end can't hear you because your mic is covered up??*****EDIT: The Regional Manager for CruzerLite personally gave me a call to help resolve this issue. I was genuinely surprised as I did not expect to hear a response so soon (it's only been a couple hours since I posted my review). He was very concerned and offered to replace the two defected cases immediately. Apparently the International version of this phone does not have a speaker near the S pen -- hence the missing cut out. So far I am PLEASED with the customer support CruzerLite is providing. I will most likely update this review to 5 stars once I get the new case (with correct cut out) because these things look really, really sharp!!*****FINAL ASSESSMENT: Cruzerlite replaced the 2 "defective" cases. Turns out, the "defect" isn't really a defect after all. Apparently the hole that's covered by the case is for hearing aids only (which I do not have). I can honestly say I'm 110% satisfied with the level of service I received. Cruzerlite replaced both cases for free via priority mail. The two new cases I received are PERFECT in every way imaginable. How well does the case protect my phone?? Well, my Note 3 slipped out of my pocket yesterday while doing situps and guess what?? Not a single scratch or dent!! So would I buy from Cruzerlite again?? HECK YEA!! Great customer support and great product. Thank you Cruzerlite!

Exactly what I needed I got this because I was constantly losing my bluetooth headsets, so I ended up buying something I figured I wouldn't put down and forget.I use the Cruiser 2 for my iPhone 4.1. it announces the callers +2. it can play the music via fm transmitter +3. battery life is exceptional! ++Only negative is the FM transmitterI would imagine with a unit of this size they could've made the transmitter a little more powerful.In the bay area our airways are really crowded and I always have to swap between a few stations I know are dead.The 14 hours of use time is actually what I get with the product. It's great because I can leave this in the carand plug it into the cig lighter when the batteries get low. Or I bring it inside the same night and charge it up.Even without using the fm transmitter the voice quality is very clear via the built in speakers and if you really wantedto you can play your music through there as well (not so great quality speakers for that though)

Not a good product Screen protectors can NOT be installed without bubbles. They were also a slight bit large for the screen. This item was WAY below shat I expected!!

Powerful enough for iPad This charger will make your iPad show it is being charges. I have older units that worked for the original iPad. When I got a new iPad the old charger did not show as charging (it was but slowly). This one shows as charging and that make me happier.

Horrible This kit doesn't work at all. Had to dispute with my credit card company to avoid the charge for this junk. Horrible

Dont buy cell. from Amazon Dont buy any cell from amazon. it takes very slow to process order, and no one knows what is going on my order when i contacted them. Buy from other phone websites.

*More like a 4.4* Yo this phone is TIGHT! Really, its mad nice. It looks mad ghetto and it has an Internet and you can get all these tight ringtones WITH WORDS in like all songs like Drop It Like It's Hot and 1,2,Step. It also has a camera on it (many phones do it aint dat special anymore). Jus look at it; its mad ghetto... da only phone dats more fly are da T Mobile Sidekicks and dat new Cingular Razor Phone... aiight many phones but this 1 is really tight but its kinda old (it came out in da summer), and alot of new phones were made but dis 1 is still real nice. *Kinda expensive though*

I absolutely love it! I would give it 5 stars but once you add several 'bills' and 2 credit cards, it is hard for the case to close! Overall it's a great phone case and protects my phone very well!!!

Great choice, amazing performance The Samsung Galaxy S5 is the most intuitive and innovative smart phone. Its the best choice in todays market considering sales values are getting better. Great for family , friends and co-workers. i deeply recommend this phone.

FINALLY!!! I love it! I am so glad to finally get a good case for my phone that FITS!!! I had ordered two other cases that said they would fit the Samsung Galaxy S IV ACTIVE, but neither were the correct size. I hate having to return items and wait again, but I decided to take one last chance purchasing a case online, and it worked out fine.Case is very protective and helps phone not slip out of my hand. The only drawback would be that it adds more weight than I expected, but that's fine for me. It might be difficult for a man trying to put the phone in a pocket, though, since it also adds thickness to the phone.

I'm very happy!! I'm buying another one soon! You get about five seeds in eachpacket. I believe there's one for each season.If you look at the pictures the seller has on here you'll be able to plant the seed! Very easy! my plant is growing and i think it's been about 5 days since I planted it. I'm so happy! you only need to plant 1 seed. and make sure it's in the middle! If you don't then when you put the white ring over the dirt the plant won't be able grow. So plant ONE seed directly in the middle! You need to water it often I noticed in a few hours the water's very low. I accidentally broke a piece of my plastic where it seals the top to the water part(very bottom) but no worries! I used one of the green belts to hold it together! I'll try to post a video on how to water the plant soon. Also how to plant your seed whenever this baby grows more and it'll be time to move it into a bigger pot! one WARNING: When picking up the packages the seeds come in be VERY CAREFUL! one end has a sign to cut with siroccos, with mine 2 were opened from the bottom. It looked closed but i passed it to my brother to show him, he gave it back and the seeds were gone! We noticed the bottom part wasn't sealed! Same happen to another package of mine! A friend was able to find 2 seeds from my spring seeds. This little sucker survived!! and growing healthy and beautiful. Thankfully for my other seed package 3 seeds feel inside the plastic. other than that I'm very happy with my purchase!!I don't carry my plant with me, I don't think it'll be a good idea taking it with me moving around. I also make sure it sees the sun everyday. Any questions? I'll be happy to help!

Pricey, but nice. For the money, you might expect a bit more than a weighted base (with magnet!) and a power adapter. I know I did. You can use software to go into the same mode as the dock for free, so YMMV.I appreciate the design. It's heavy enough to not get knocked around too easily on my desk, and my wife keeps hers in the kitchen. It would work equally well as an alarm clock/night stand device. We got these with our 2 droids since it was a nice refined way to charge them and still get plenty of functionality (weather/time/music) at a visible angle.Pros:1. Well weighted with rubberized bottom keeps it from bouncing around easily2. Designed nicely - Looks sharp. The Droid's audio is surprising clear in speaker mode for playing music (especially for such a small speaker), but a Bluetooth or corded headset (or speaker setup) would work here.3. Nice angle for keeping an eye on the clock. I'm hoping Google improves the interface... the weather section is a bit small and doesn't give much info. A real-time radar with more info would be best and perhaps a smaller alarm clock with more configuration/personalization options for color, stock ticker, etc. would be great. But this doesn't affect my review of the dock.4. Fits perfectly and makes it easy to remember where you left your phone. :-)Cons:1. I thought that the cable for USB/DC Converter was a bit short. It's the same as the one that came with the Droid. Nothing that can't be amended, but for $30 they couldn't throw in another meter?2. It boils down to being a weighted/angled slot with charger/usb cable for $30. It probably amounts to $2 in materials if that. It would be expensive at $15.3. It really doesn't deliver much. You can get everything but the pre-positioned angle without the doc, and the doc software needs improvement (not a slam on the dock itself, just pointing it out). Unless you're really using it as an alarm clock, It's difficult to see the point now that I have it. If you're watching movies on it as a sort of TV replacement, then maybe... yeah.4. No cases allowed (it won't fit with them on).In the end, it is well built and designed nicely. I think it should offer more for the money (maybe built in speakers?) but it is what it is, an overpriced accessory, and for what it's worth, usually overpriced accessories are built like junk, so this gets a 4.

it's okay I find that it's easier for me to hear through the phone's handset than the headset earpiece, but others have told me that the sound when I'm talking to them is better when I'm on the headset. I'm most comfortable when I'm not moving around while I'm wearing it, I don't like to wear it more than a few hours, and I have yet to figure out how to wear it in my left ear--the directions are pictoral, and not particularly helpful.But I bought this for convenience more than anything; it does what it's supposed to, and I'm not sorry I bought it.

Worst buy ever Worst item I ever brought off Amazon. This phone Had a BAD ESN even though it said Good ESN. When I went to the sprint store to add it on my account the guy told me this phone was still under someone else name and they haven't paid the bill and of course it was useless to me. I call amazon and got my money back for the item. Do not buy used Phones from here. It is not worth it. I think I am going to stick to brand new phone right out the box to be sure they have Good ESNs

Great contruction and feels wonderful Feels very lightweight, but completely does the job. makes the camera a bit easier to hold at times because adds some texture to the grip, instead of the slick sides that are normal for a camera. Slips off and on easily enough when I want to use the camera accessory.

Not what I wanted It says clear but it is not at all. It's just a white rubber phone case. It's not what I wanted. I was looking for a clear case to show my iPhones original design. If I was looking for a white rubber phone case I would say it is a good phone case.

Loved this case! The keyboard is excellent for my fingers and works well via bluetooth. The case is compact so I'm able to even fit it inside of my briefcase for travel.

great buy was cheap and a good buy. i love the way it feels and it fits the phone perfectly!would definitely buy it again.

Great Case I love this one. I need to order another one. As soon as my daughter saw it she took it.

Pleasantly surprised Got this phone because I found it CHEAP. My phone was an old Razr and I LOVED that phone, however, it needed a new battery which cost MORE than I found this Nokia phone for. Needing to conserve money, I bought the phone since it was cheaper that day. Gotta say, I was SUPER surprised at how much I like this phone. My son (the gadget guru in our family) said I was an idiot to not go android, BUT I'm an older professional woman who doesn't need (or want) all the apps that son needs for his job.Sound is good. I can hear and those on the other side of the line can hear me. That's a huge plus....I've tried phones with much higher price tags that are awful in this area. Texting is very easy even with the onscreen keyboard. Battery life is amazingly good for what I use it for. Days at a time instead of hours. It also seems to charge quickly compared to those my family uses. Photos are FANTASTIC on this thing. LOVE that feature and now I don't need to carry my camera when out on a research trip. It also has GPS in it that can work WITHOUT being connected to the 3G which is a nice touch. I don't always have to carry my GPS now.I was also pleasantly surprised at how easy this screen is to read. The colors can be altered to suit your preference and vision and it's large enough that I can read a text without my reading glasses if need be. The windows interface was quite simple for me to use.....much easier than my son's android, actually.My only complaint was that while decorating for an event recently, I had the phone in my back pocket so it was handy. During this day, it froze on me three times. It's never done it BEFORE that or SINCE that day. SO, I'm not sure what that was about, although I never keep it in a pocket. NOt sure if it got hot or whatever, but it did freeze up on me. Rebooting it fixed it, but I was concerned. It's not happened since, though, and has been a real workhorse for me.I"ve been a user for over 5 months now, and so far it's doing its job. I even have service in places I never have before, and living in rural America, you can imagine how important that is.I think it was a good purchase, especially for the price I paid. However, if you're really into the gadgets, you WILL be disappointed in the app offerings....didn't matter to me because what it DOES do is perfect for my lifestyle AND the call quality was really the important feature for me.

great product to protect new phone inexpensive product to protect new i phone 5great color, easy to handle and very fashionable many complimentsLove it !!

BlackBerry Z10 An Excellent Touch Phone I have the white version and it took me about half an hour to get use to its layout. This is the best touch keyboard and the size is perfect for one or two hand operation.Best Features are:1) The Hub, the grand central station for all your communications, emails, BBMessenger, Face Book, twitter, text and more;2) Peek and flow from one application to another, just leave your frequently used apps within easy reach;3) Super fast browser, works with flash and highly compatible with HTML5;4) Smooth multi-tasking, play sounds and switch into other applications without missing a beat;5) Most impressed with BBM Video Chat, tried a long video chat with a friend, clear and crisp voice and video that is smooth enough;6) I was able to share the surrounding scenery with a simple flip of the cameras;7) The keyboard seem to learn and adapt to my typing style, sentences and words, the word suggestive experience is really enjoyable,with a simple flip of the thumb, words just drop into place, wow! My grammar is much improved and its clever suggestive style seem towork within sentence context, unlike other phones, this one helps with your train of thought instead of impedes it;8) Already this thing has all the apps I care to keep and more are on the way, so it seems.9) This one is a keeper and a definite 10!

Forget the specs.... Why on earth would I ditch my Dual core LTE qHD screened android phone ( droid bionic) for a phone with a single core processor and a 800 x 480 sceen resolution? Use it. You'll know why. This phone really flies through everything without ever really slowing down , and looks good while doing it.Lets start with the OS. If you don't like windows phone you won't like this phone so why are you even reading a review? If you aren't really interested in iOS and aren't really satisfied by Android , its a refreshing alternative. It runs extremely smooth , the apps , while not as abundant are very high quality and don't force close all the time like on Android ( Don't argue with me I've had 3 android phones and a nook running Cyanogenmod and all of them have had force close issues). The only absentees that I miss in the app market are Angry birds space , Rio , and Seasons, though I think Space is coming eventually. Rocket Riot is a great game and should be downloaded by everyone.Hardware? This phone feels great in the hand. Solid , smooth , not at all uncomfortable to hold with a little heft to make it feel substantial but its not a brick. The screen is gorgeous. Doesn't have the bluish tint that other AMOLED screens suffer from. Very visible outside , and most of the time the resolution is something thats not noticeable and looks sharper than some hi-res pentile arrays on android phones. Its great to look at. Thats all that matters , and the polarized glass is a big plus.Camera- You can definitely get some solid shots out of the thing. Outside pictures have a great amount of depth and detail to them. Inside pictures do fairly well depending on lighting. Though there are some coloration issues , the auto-fix feature greatly improves the pictures. I haven't taken any videos but from what I've seen posted online its reasonably good quality , but its not gonna knock your socks off. The Bionic took better pictures and video , but it also force closed in all kinds of apps , had a half broken gallery app that even when brand new with a mighty dual core processor was not nearly as smooth as the gallery app on this phone , and it also lacked a camera button and took longer to take pictures and to open the camera app.Reception/Call quality- I switched from Verizon to AT&T; so I can't compare it to other phones directly , but reception seems pretty good and call quality is fantastic. The loudspeaker for music is also very loud and clear for a phone.Battery life- Even getting up early and staying up late , I havent killed it in a day yet after about a week. Battery life is good enough to be something you won't have to think about unless you play games or stream video or use GPS or something like that which will take its toll on any phone.So why shouldn't you buy this phone? If you think that having a higher screen resolution and a faster processor matters more than the actual experience of the phone and how the screen looks , or If you think you'll actually use all of the hundreds of thousands of apps in Apple or Googles appstore. Otherwise its worth a shot. Is it the best phone that could ever exist? No , in 6 months something will come along with better everything , but thats true of almost any phone you'll buy. Overall , I think the experience on the phone for the price of the phone made it a no brainer for me.

The future is here I love my new windows phone! I have been a fan of the iPhone since the first one came out. I can line up my collection of every iPhone model (except the 4s). It was going to take a lot to get me to change teams, and this is the device to do it! I tried the HTC Evo when it first came out, but it was so clunky and Android seemed like an endless maze of clicks and menus to perform any task, and the UI was just so ugly!This phone is sturdy, fast, clean, functional, and innovative! Apple products have become too mainstream and boring. This is something fresh and new and I can't wait to watch the platform mature.Things I love:* Integrated contacts (the concept that a person is a person, not a Facebook person, twitter person, etc)* Integrated messaging* Zune subscription (download all the music I want into my library for a flat monthly fee)* Live tiles!! (so much better than static apps, I can see the weather and stocks on my home screen!)* Voice control! (with the Bluetooth in my car, I can listen and reply to text messages without ever taking the phone out of my pocket)* Quick, snappy, clean UI, beautiful, smooth animations* Next appointment and message counts on the lock screenThings I'd like to see:* Ability to disable auto-rotation* Custom text tones for contacts* Battery Percentage on the status bar* A way to view past notifications* A few apps I miss from my iPhone* Better MultitaskingI know I listed a lot of "complaints", but those are very minor in my opinion and can all be fixed in future software releases. I've been using this phone for almost a week and I'm already in love and convincing my friends to make the switch.

Cute and convenient, but missing something First off, this case is gorgeous. It's a nice quality leather, my iPhone 4s fits snugly within the holder, and the book's "binding" remains nice and flat and squared at the edges. The name on the binding just says "BOOK BOOK" which is nice, because it's generic and doesn't seem quite like a brand name. I haven't yet tested how much it'll actually hold inside.The only thing I'm disappointed in is the lack of camera hole. And mind you, the detailed description absolutely says that you need to pull the camera out to take photos, so it's nothing that the company misrepresented. I'd just think there *should* be a way for them to put a hole in the back cover for the camera. The back cover seems sturdy enough that it would still hold up well, even though the hole would have to be a bit larger than normal around the lens and flash due to the thickness. It just seems like something that could be fixed easily enough to allow an all-around great product with no limitations.

Originally wrote a bad review. Then I discovered there was a film covering the clear back.. Great case and scratch free! Originally I wrote about the scratches. And I actually wondered if there was a film on it last night and tried to peel it off, but it didn't seem like anything was there and it just seemed to scratch it up even more. However after reading the other reviews on here, I tried again a bit more vigorously and discovered their indeed was a film both inside and on the back. So after feeling a bit like an idiot, I thought I better come back and set the record straight that overall this is a very solid and good looking case for the price. I have another case coming, but I have a feeling I'll be sticking with this one. Great Job Spigen! (But please make the films covering the back a bit easier to get off going forward)

Misleading and false advertisment I recently bought this phone from Worldwide Distributors. In the Technical details of the product it clearly states "Quad-band GSM cell phone compatible with 850/900/1800/1900 frequencies and US/International 3G compatibility via 800/850/1900/2100/ 1700/2100 MHz, UMTS/HSDPA plus GPRS/EDGE capabilities" The phone I received is not compatible with all 3G bands as stated. I got a T-Mobile phone which works with 3G bands 1, 4, 8; that is equal to 2100, 1700, and 900 and does not work with 1900 my operator 3G band, also does not work with 800 and 850 as stated in the Tech details. So I bought a 3G phone that does not work in 3G which is equal to a 450USD paper weight. Needless to say I am surprised that Amazon been a company of such high reputation allows sellers to publish such false and misleading advertisement. If that wasn't enough Worldwide Distributors return policy clearly states "Cell phones may only be returned for refund within 3 days if they have been unopened and all original seals are intact." You will need to open the box and turn the phone on in order to see frequency with which it works, so this means, screw you, we will not accept the return of the phone. Last but not least, should you happen to know which operator works with which frequency, they have this little pearl in the return policy "Buyers are responsible for network, GSM band, and Carrier compatibility, including internet browsing, picture and text messaging functionality which are not guaranteed." Double screw you, you just paid 450USD for a paper weight and you are stuck with it. Worldwide Distributors you SUCK and I will make sure that everyone I know knows about this, and AMAZON ignorance is not an excuse.....

get what you pay for For $10, buy this for the car charger and hands-free thing. Throw the phone cover in the trash or feed it to your dog, as that's all this cover is good for.

Impressive sound I was really pleased with the sound output of this Bluetooth speaker. There is a nice amount of bass, which is essential for some kinds of music. I also liked that it's solid and heavier than your typical plastic cased speakers. It has a non-slip rubber ring on the bottom of it, so it won't slide around. I had no issues with pairing it up with any of my devices, and I also successfully plugged in my MP3 player via the 1/8" audio cable. When using the micro SD card to play music, I do not know the maximum size of card you can use, but I used a 2GB Sandisk micro SD card and it worked fine. The only issue with using the sd card to play music is that you can't select folders or sub-folders. It will just play the songs in the order they appear on the card. You can skip through them one at a time, but this can take a while if you have a ton of music on there. It also has a built in mic so you can answer phone calls in bluetooth mode. I only used it for one phone call so far, and they said they could hear me fine. Great sound, pretty good value, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a portable speaker.

Doesn't Maintain a Reliable Connection to Verizon's Network The mifi has the potential to be a breakthrough product, but unfortunately it fails in its first iteration.While casual web and email users won't notice this, more complicated and data intense connections (such as connecting to a VPN) seem to overwhelm the Mifi, and it will drop the connection to Verizon's network and quickly reconnect. While such behavior won't impact email or web browsing severely, it does force VPN users to have to reinitiate a connection and start over. For business users it's effectively useless.This is not a problem confined to a single location either. So far this behavior has occurred in multiple locations across four states even when there's a full strength connection to the tower.Another annoyance is the charging behavior. Plugging the device into a USB port on a computer disables the wifi router and converts the device back to a traditional USB broadband access device. What were the engineers thinking? If the battery is running low you're forced to connect the old fashioned way to the network with bloated drivers and all of the annoyances that this device is supposed to eliminate. Activation was a pain too as it required installing all of that stuff to get started.Words cannot express how truly disappointed I am in this product. Even more so the fact that both Verizon and Novatel are completely silent on the disconnect issue. There's a good discussion on the Verizon messageboards that describes the problem (and many users' frustration) in greater detail.UPDATE -- 10/24/09Novatel and Verizon released a firmware update for the device in October. I haven't used it enough to make a judgement as to whether or not this improves the situation, but some users are reporting better device behavior. I'll report back when I learn more.Unfortunately, Mac users are out of luck on the firmware update. The device will only update with the Windows version of VZ Access manager. If you don't have Windows running in Parallels or VMWare you need to take the unit into a Verizon store for an update. Quite a hassle.UPDATE -- 10/31/09Unfortunately the firmware update does nothing to address the problems I indicated above. I have had no less than three disconnects with the device in the last 30 minutes, and I am in sight of the tower! I again repeat the above cautions. This device is not for professional use.

The best TPU you can buy!! Ive had many of these for my various phones over the years. They all have been great cases, great cutouts, form fitting, and this is no different. It works great with my tempered glass screen protector. Its my everyday case until I find a good leather pouch case.

Great Upgrade for Motorola HD The Motorola Atrix HD is the 3rd iteration of the Atrix line (the first two being the Atrix 4G and Atrix 2). It's a better phone than its very good predecessors - bigger and brighter display, 4G LTE data, Android Jellybean vs. Gingerbread - but it has one major flaw: its battery. The stock battery is 1750 mAh, which is actually weaker than its predecessors.Not surprisingly, out of the box, the phone dies pretty quickly. My wife got one a year or so ago, and it would fall over and die if you just looked at it. We took it back to the AT&T; shop where she'd bought it, figuring maybe we needed to tweak some configurations or something. The guy there did a couple of things and installed an automated task killer app, but the next day, after we'd charged it to 100% overnight, the thing was down to 40% by noon just sitting on her desk.So I got on Al Gore's Amazing Internet and researched the hell out of the issue and found this battery, along with several forums and youtubes explaining the ins and outs of replacing the original battery. I ordered one (same seller as here, just got it on eBay for the same price), and watched the video a few times while waiting for it to arrive. Pretty good video here: [...]Note that the phone's battery is NOT intended to be replaceable, so you can't simply pop the battery cover off and swap; you have to pry the back off, which is a little tricky, since there are no gaps anywhere in it where you can insert a screwdriver or a fingernail. After you power down and remove the SIM card and SD chip (if you have one), you have to use a T5 screwdriver (should be able to get one at your local Radio Shack - I got mine at Sears) to remove the ten or so screws holding the middle layer on and take that layer off. No, a tiny Phillips head screwdriver or jeweler's screwdriver will NOT work. Then you have to remove the two screws on the tab at the bottom left of the battery. Have a couple of small jars to put the screws in and keep them separate - I don't think the battery screws are exactly the same as the screws securing the middle layer.Now you carefully remove the battery - pry up from the side with a jeweler's screwdriver. Work slowly and gently, because there's a lot of sticky glue holding it in place. Once you have it out, put the new battery in, attach the two battery screws, and - this is important - push the battery down to the bottom edge of the screen. If you don't do this, the phone's speakers will NOT work.Put the middle layer of the phone back in place. Push it down flush all the way around. Then replace the screws all around the sides of the phone, but don't tighten down all the way just yet. Make sure the battery is still pushed down to the bottom edge of the phone as far as it will go, and while holding it there, start tightening the screws all the way around. Don't overtighten - they're going into plastic and you don't want to strip the threads. Once that's done, while the back is still off, replace your SIM card, power on the phone, and make sure it works by calling from your landline. If you don't hear anything, it means you didn't push the battery down like you were supposed to, and you'll have to back out the screws again until they're loose enough that you can move the battery.Once you're satisfied it's working properly, snap the bottom layer back into place, again making sure all the tabs are locked down and that it's flush all the way around with the middle layer.I've done this twice now, with my wife's Atrix, and with my own that I bought a week or so ago. It's relatively easy, but it's not for the ham-handed. I've seen people claim they did the whole thing in five minutes; if they did, they're either a lot better at this than I am, or they weren't nearly as careful about the whole thing. It took me about a half-hour each time. And now both my wife's phone and my phone can run all day without trouble.Note that this battery is about a millimeter or so thicker than the stock battery. That's not a problem for the phone itself, as the back is Kevlar, so it's both strong and flexible. But I have a Body Glove snap-on case of the phone, and it fit snugly around the phone BEFORE I replaced the battery. I had a little trouble getting it back on after I replaced the battery, but I got it on and everything's fine.

It's okay The Seidio extended battery is awesome! However, the case is OKAY. I would not highly recommend this case. A few issues... 1. It's really bulky. 2. It does not fit like a glove. It's loose and after time, it loosens up more. 3. The plastic piece that fits the outside of the rubber case, breaks. Eventually, I took it off and went with just the rubber part of the case, but that didn't provide the protection I needed because it would slip off way too easy. I must admit that it's not an extremely horrible purchase, but I would think that it should be less expensive. I personally, don't feel that it's worth the money.

One of the best... I am not the talker but, listener of the person using this. I hated the static, noise, and poor fidelity of other headsets that it would really bother me.This headset is clear and I can hear my wife's words very cleary, w/o out any muffled distortion...the best wired head set for any phone.Jabra stuff is tops.

Good Battery... So far Well we bought these March 29, 2013. And while we are just about at the end of the "Calibration Stage" so far I am very impressed. We've gotten 2-3 hours of Battery Span Increase with normal use. My Stock Battery was needing the car charger during my commute to work, and even then, after a 8.5hr shift the battery would be in the red, and would not make it home. Some times I would have to charge my phone while I was at work just to make it through the day. These Zero-Lemons have made it through every shift with juice to spare. Heck, I have been working double shifts (close to 20hrs) the past few days and I have to admit the first day I was pretty nervous, but these little guys have made it through the day with me, all the way back to the house. I have to say going from a "maybe" 8 hour battery life (Stock Battery) to a "definite" 13 hour lifespan is awesome. These batteries have a rather long charge time, so if you are buying them for multiple phones, it's going to be difficult to discharge them and recharge them fully in time for the next days activities. I suggest you do as I have done, purchase a set, and then if you like them buy another. I bought my wife her own set, just because of the difficulty in attempting to share them.Obviously these are new, and as time goes on I will update my review.

Best Phone Ever This phone is superb. I can say perfect phone. Have long battery life, nice bright screen, and very fast processor.

TRASH I used this item exactly as it should be used. Paying attention to sealing it properly. I was vacationing in St John usvi and did not want to leave my cell phone on the beach. The product leaked and ruined a $400. cell phone. Do not buy this product it is TRASH

Great for my long, long runs I bought an IMP880 iPhone 3G/iTouch charger about a month ago. I was pleasantly surprised by their prompt service - the charger was delivered to my doorstep a day and a half after I had placed the order!I was even more impressed with their product once I had charged it for the requisite 7 hours. I was immediately struck by the fact that I could simultaneously charge my iPhone AND my Blackberry Pearl while on the move. That fact alone justified my investment in the device. Let me explain that fact in more detail.I am an ultra marathoner. I run 100 mile races. My races are chronicled on my blog, [...], and the biggest problem I face during the 25-40 hours I am out on the course running the race is the fact that my iPhone battery charge lasts only about 6-8 hours. That is the reason I usually swap my iPhone AT&T; SIM card into my older Blackberry Pearl whose full battery charge lasts at least 50-55 hours. With the new charger I can now run longer races (more than 100 miles) without worrying about how to recharge my Blackberry Pearl.I started the Thames Ring 250M race (100 hour time limit) in the UK in June, 2009 and, as my race report records, I spent about an hour, 54 hours and about 160 miles into the race, trying to figure out how to recharge the Pearl. I eventually spent 40 minutes in a canalside store charging the phone in a wall socket. Those 60 minutes would have been spent moving forward had I had access to IMP880 last year.You can read about my phone charging woes in my race report on [...] (look for the section, in blue, "Nether Heyford ' Fenny Compton ...".I fully intend to use the IMP880 during my September South Downs Way 100 mile race (again in the UK), the October Javelina 100M in Arizona and during my return visit to next year's Thames Ring 250-mile race where I have some unfinished business to take care of.I know that it will work flawlessly. I have already put it through its paces during my 23 mile pacing stint in the Western States 100M where my friend, Alan Geraldi, tried unsuccessfully to finish that iconic race (he missed the 85-mile cutoff).I have been looking for something just like this for my races and I have to say that I love it.

Bad for home office, needs an adjustable mic boom. This headset might be just fine for a cell phone... where we're all used to straining to hear folk. But for the home office, it was the wrong choice, without the adjustable boom people were always complaining they couldn't hear me, and I spent a lot of time pressing the mic closer to my mouth. And it's pretty flimsy, it's broke today, don't remember stepping on it, but that gave it a life of only about 60 days. Tho frankly, I'm relieved, gives me the excuse to buy a better one. I've used a Hello Direct one for years without problems, will probably go back to that.

Great gadget The emergency battery charger for my iPod is a great idea. I can charge my ipod or Kindle whenever I want even if I am out of the country. It takes two AA batteries and the USB cord from the iPod or Kindle. Plug the cord into the device and charger and it will charge the device. It does take overnight to fully charge the devices, but that it is worth it to have someway to charge my iPod when I am not near an electric outlet.

Something Important Was Missing I was really excited to get this product for review. I opened up the nicely designed packaging and found:- a phone- a USB cable- an AC adapter- 6 instruction/warranty/consumer info/support bookletsUnfortunately, the one thing the box was missing was the all-important SIM card, without which this Kyocera Hydro Elite for Verizon is useless (apparently the new Verizon 4G LTE phones require a SIM card while older models don't). According to the information on the Amazon product page, one is supposed to be included in the box. The first instructions in the Quick Start guide are about installing the SIM card. But without that, I am unable to go through the set-up wizard, register the phone with the Verizon system or sign up for one of their plans online.Absolutely no immediate electronic gratification.I suppose to get this phone to work I will have to search out a Verizon store and see if I can get a SIM card from them, but that step shouldn't be required at all.If I ever get this phone working, I'll update this review, but right now I can't rate this product highly because an item essential to its operation was missing on arrival, and I am unable to use it to test out its features or sound quality. If Amazon had allowed a no-star review I would have preferred to label it that way, since a one star review equates with "I hate it", and I don't know yet if it is worthy of like or dislike. But I can't rate it higher than that because as provided, it is not functional.Too bad - it looks like a nice phone.

Excellent Covers These are great covers - fit is perfect. Be certain to follow the directions. I've installed several of these, without any worries.Dust is one of the main culprits that will ruin an otherwise good and careful installation. It's amazing to me how such a small tiny spec of dust will cause such a glaring defect, but it does. Here's something that works for me to make sure that no dust is on the surface:1) Place the iPod on a counter or desktop, whatever, lying flat.2) Next place a bright flashlight at a shallow angle so that the beam is shining ACROSS the entire surface and illuminating it at the same time. Use a thin book, or a notepad, or whatever to angle the flashlight beam across the surface. You need both hands free.3) Darken the room - and use a clean cotton cloth or the enclosed one to get every spec of dust off.4 Apply protector as per directions.5) As you're doing this, make sure no dust falls off you and onto the screen in the process. If it does, back up some and get it off BEFORE the protector seals itself down.6) If you do it right, you'll see every spec of dust on the screen, and be able to remove it before (or even during) the application.This has worked well for me several times. It can be maddening how much dust is actually in the air and falls off of you also. Anyway - this will show dust specs before the protector is placed rather than finding out afterwards, when it's too late. Getting a spec of dust out afterwards can be VERY difficult if not impossible.Remember these protectors (right out of the box) are like a sandwich - the actual screen protector is sandwiched between two outer protectors. The side marked 1 is peeled off as you go, by bending it backwards, and is applied directly onto the screen. After it is installed, pull off the side marked 2, thus leaving the protector in place.If you follow the directions carefully, these work very well. I changed out my daughter's iPod protector after a year of heavy daily use, and the glass screen underneath was flawless. I've also cut one to fit my new Sony Handycam touchscreen.I will purchase these again. I hope this helps!

Glad I finally made the switch! I'd been thinking about jumping ship and switching to a no contract deal for almost a year and when my HTC Evo Shift just bit the dust and refused to turn on ever again, I figured this was the universe's way of saying "NOW IS THE TIME!"So I went to a store and checked out all the phones, chose the Optimus L9, ordered it here and the rest is pretty much history. I did go into the store since I didn't see anything about bringing your existing number with you and it took them less than 15 minutes to get me all set up and ready to go. The phone started working with my number within two hours.I haven't loved a phone this much since I got my first Blackberry way back in another millenium. I paid around $800 for it and was amazed at what it could do. This isn't my first Android, touch screen, OR 4G phone, but so far it's my favorite phone for quite awhile.It was simple to set up, easy to find accessories for, easy to use and I'm not having any problems with the service either. I love the wi-fi feature so it just uses the internet whenever I'm home and getting umlimited everything for $50 is awesome.Since it's only been a little while, I know that it's still highly possible that I could end up hating this phone more than Satan himself (or my first REAL ex, you know? hate him a lot too)...but for now, I'm loving it.I'll let you know if that changes. In the meantime, if you're stuck with a bill of over $100/mo. and are wondering if you should make the switch too, I say do it. Do it.

Quietly Brilliant And Boldly Different EDIT (3/4/14): Another update just like the last. I haven't have any issues with my HTC One. Battery life is staying steady since day one, and the phone is just as fast as it was when I first received it. Very happy with the purchase thus far and hopefully will continue to be!EDIT (11/28/13): Another four months later, I'm still very happy with my purchase. I haven't had a single problem with the phone, and it's just as fast as ever. Seems fitting to post on Thanksgiving because I'm definitely thankful for such a great phone.EDIT (7/17/13): Two months later, I'm still in love with my HTC One. The build quality is amazing and haven't got a scratch on it yet (no case but I'm very OCD when it comes to electronics). BoomSound (could have perhaps picked a better name) still gives you the best sound quality out of any phone currently available. My phone still has the same zip from day one. Swiping screens, opening and closing apps, etc. still butter smooth. The lag and jitters the Galaxy S4 sometimes experiences was a big turn off to me, which is why in terms of everyday use, the HTC One is much faster and more responsive. If anyone has any questions, leave a comment and I'll definitely reply back.Original Review:It came down to the Galaxy S4 or the HTC One, and I'm definitely glad I went with the HTC One. HTC truly outdid themselves with this phone, both in design and quality. I'm coming from an iPhone 3GS, but even if you're coming from an iPhone 5 or a Galaxy S4, this phone is impressive. I'm mainly comparing the HTC One against the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy S4, because I've had hands-on experience with both and also because I don't think any other phones even come close.Design:The HTC One not only looks amazing but has one of the best builds I've ever seen on a phone. Its build quality is only rivaled by the iPhone 5 (I'd still say HTC wins). It's not featherlight, but the slight heft you feel when you hold it only makes it that much better. It's the perfect mix of premium quality, great design, and the intelligence to actually put it all together without screwing it up. The Galaxy S4 in terms of build quality can't even compete. Don't get me wrong, the Galaxy S4 feels solid in your hands, but the HTC One brings that experience to a whole new level.Screen:Simply stunning. The HTC One currently has the highest pixel density of any phone with 468 ppi, followed by the Galaxy S4 with 441 ppi, and finally the iPhone 5 with 326 ppi. I love the fact HTC went with an SLCD 3 display versus SAMOLED. While SAMOLED displays offer truer blacks and usually better color saturation, this comes at the price of often times over saturating colors and not being as crisp and clear as an SLCD display. Both the Galaxy S4 and the HTC One offer full HD 1080p displays, but I'd still go with the HTC One despite the slightly smaller screen. Colors are simply more accurate and text is crisper, clearer, and easier to read whether indoors or outdoors.Hardware:The Galaxy S4 has a slight advantage on paper when it comes to processing power, but you'd never guess it by using the two phones. The HTC One is actually a lot faster in everyday use. I was amazed the Galaxy S4 still experienced lag and stutters when it came to simple things like switching screens or opening/closing apps. While almost every benchmark you see gives the edge to Samsung, it really only proves that Samsung is better at... you guessed it: benchmarks. In terms of raw processing power, the Galaxy S4 clearly wins, but in the real world benchmarks mean next to nothing, and HTC shows this pretty convincingly. I'm not saying the Galaxy S4 doesn't have any edge because it does, but processing power alone is misleading. In the words of another reviewer, "In terms of performance, this phone is pure butter out of the box," and I couldn't put it any better myself.Camera:HTC shows you don't need a high megapixel count to experience amazing pictures. I've never seen a camera take pictures as well in low light as the HTC One. The detail and quality you get are ridiculous. The Galaxy S4 is great in bright light, but if you're like me, most of your pictures are not in perfect lighting, which means the low light capabilities of the HTC One are much more valuable. The Galaxy S4 also tends to over saturate colors, so while pictures may seem brighter, they're not true to color. The colors and contrast on the HTC One are more accurate. The HTC One is also quicker at taking pictures than the Galaxy S4. If you're someone who spends a lot of time outdoors (in the sun) and wants a high level of the detail when zoomed in, the Galaxy S4 would work best. If you're someone who spends most of their time inside or out at night, the HTC One would be a better fit. I'd probably put the iPhone 5 somewhere between the Galaxy S4 and the HTC One.Sound:Beautiful. The dual front speakers with built-in amps sound better than any phone I've ever heard. There's really not much else to say. The sound is crisp and clean even with the volume up. Since the speakers are on the front rather than the back, the sound isn't muffled when it's lying down. It also doesn't sound tinny like most phones. Both the Galaxy S4 and the iPhone 5 have a single speaker and simply can't compete with the HTC One in terms of sound quality.Software:There's been some fuss over the HTC One being released with Android 4.1.2 instead of the latest version (4.2.2). I couldn't care less for a few reasons. First, there's not many differences between the two versions to begin with. Second, HTC is probably holding out for the KLP update and simply skipping 4.2.2 altogether. If you're someone who always needs the most up-to-date version, the Galaxy S4 is probably a better choice (ships with 4.2.2). I have to give credit where credit is due, and Apple wins hands-down when it comes to update releases (not necessarily talking about quality). All iPhones regardless of carrier receive updates at the same time. Some argue Android has become too fragmented due to all the different versions currently running on phones and tablets, which in the end tends to hurt Android.HTC offers their UI called Sense while Samsung has their own called TouchWiz. Here's where personal preference is going to come into play. HTC's Sense 5 UI has been stripped down and takes a simple approach and design concept. Samsung on the other hand has a lot more bells and whistles. I'd say once again Apple is somewhere in the middle. If you're someone who loves using a lot of apps and features, Samsung certainly has a lot more to offer in this area than HTC and Apple combined. When it comes to what I'd call useful features, however, I think that comparison is much closer. I like HTC's "stripped down, no nonsense approach" versus Samsung's "throw everything at a wall and see what sticks." If you're someone who likes to mess with things, the Galaxy S4 is more geared toward you. If you're someone who enjoys simplicity, the HTC One is probably more your style.Battery/Memory:The Galaxy S4 has a larger battery than the HTC One but in real world testing performed about equal, so the extra 300 mAh doesn't give too much of an advantage (you could argue because of the Galaxy S4's larger screen but it's hard to say). The main difference is the HTC One doesn't have a removable battery (much like iPhones) while the Galaxy S4 does (I've never been one to use multiple batteries, so it doesn't bother me). There's another slight difference that usually goes unnoticed. HTC chose to go with a Li-polymer battery versus the normal Li-ion (Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5). Li-ion batteries suffer from "aging" or losing capacity even when not in use. Li-polymer batteries, however, can hold a much better charge over time.The fact there's no microSD card slot on the HTC One might be a deal breaker for some, but I don't think it should be. First, the HTC One starts out at 32 GB, which is double the Galaxy S4. Second, the OS takes up less memory on the HTC One than on the Galaxy S4. Roughly half of the 16 GB on the Galaxy S4 is reserved, which means you're already down to close to 8 GB before you download a single app. It seems as if Samsung is literally forcing customers to buy a memory card, and worse yet, apps can't even be stored on them (only internal memory). Out of the box, you either start with a little over 8 GB with the Galaxy S4 or close to 26 GB with the HTC One. The HTC One is also currently about $40 less than the Galaxy S4 (AmazonWireless). Apple wins again though when it comes to OS size with iOS taking less than 2 GB.The HTC One to me is the perfect blend of design, practicality, and power. While it might not be perfect for everyone, I honestly think it's currently the best phone out there. Perhaps the Galaxy Note 3 or the iPhone 6 will change this, but for now the HTC One is king (or rather the one :P).

WOW, Very Clear I am amazed at the quality of this screen protector. Screen looks better with it on than when it is not.

ROCK Way too many cry babies out there. For the guy that wants a solid outdoor phone,, GET IT.

Left un Happy I have had the phone less than two weeks, the phone actually starts giving problems such as screen twitching. DO not purchase used.

Nice stylus These are made from anodized aluminum tubing (watch out for the cheap plastic ones)with the rubber style tip. They include a pocket clip and a lanyard hole but no lanyards. These are not as large as the more expensive full size stylus but they are still large enough to be comfortable yet portable. Tap actions work great and have had no problem dragging so long as the correct pressure is applied. Price is great.

Awful, awful phone Motorola should have been pulled up on some sort of Trades Description Act because the battery life on this phone is absolutely dreadful.As many have already noted, if you forget to charge this phone each night, the battery is dead the next morning after a couple of hours.I can't wait for my wireless contract renewal to come up so I can get back to a Nokia.

Unhappy Before I got my Iphone 4s I researched for a case. It was either the Tank or Otterbox. I was drawn to the Tank because I saw some clips on Youtube. It showed clips of it surving from a car running over it and high drops. Unfortunately I only had my Tank for 2 weeks and got a crack on the frame. I recieved the crack when I placed the case into the holster.

Awesome in more ways than one. Without getting too into the details, I had a couple issues with the shipping as I'm at an APO. And upon arrival, the back cover had a crack! This was likely the fault of the shipping process, but I emailed the Hyperion customer service the day I recieved it. I'd say long story short, but really, this is a short story. Christine from customer service emailed me back within 12 hours with all my shipping problems addressed, AND a spare cover ALREADY SHIPPED! I was floored. Thanks to Hyperion Customer Service for going above and beyond. I just ordered the Black TPU case to go along with it. Also, the battery itself is epic. I went from 12-18 hours with light usage, to a battery life of nearly 2 days, with normal to heavy usage. Awesome product, awesome service.

Bad screen Tge kit was missing a couple necessary tools. Also the screen was very foggy and messed up. Not sure if it is even any better than a cracked screen. Will not be buying from this seller again.

iPhone Holster I have tried a number of iPhone holsters and this is the best one I have found yet. Here are some things I like about it;1) The flap is held closed by a magnet, Velcro works too, but it gets dirty, this stays nice and clean and stays closed well.2) This unit has three straps to hold this to your belt, two loops with a clip in between. I use all three at the same time as this holds the unit as close as possible to your belt. Holsters with a single clip tend to get the end of the holster caught on things as the ends stick out. If you are the maker of a holster of this style, make sure the loops are firmly attached and can withstand a lot of pull as the holster gets caught on things like the edge of a door or the seat of a car.3) I had another brand of the same style, and the loops ripped off the back after only a few weeks. This one has lasted a good three months, and seems fine.4) I can flip it open and pull out the iPhone with one hand, any holster not set up for that is not worth buying.5) The holster protects my iPhone well, it is very sturdy.6) The corners are open letting the earbud jack be exposed. This is great as you can crank up some tunes, or get on a call and re-holster the iPhone with the earbud cord coming out the edge. Hence I can holster my iPhone nice and safe and be on a call or listening to music.All in all, I like this holster.

Fit very disappointing! The earphones look good, but the fit is disappointing. The part that inserts into the ear is hard and rigid. I was expecting a soft ear piece that fit comfortably. I was also hoping the adjustability would help create a snug fit, but the earphones constantly slipped out of my ears. Unfortunately, the photos didn't provide good views from all angles, so I should have continued to shop for better fitting earphones.

Save your money These are worthless. And there are 2 of them! Neither of them worked, the connection seems to be flimsy and when I plugged them into the iPhone I got nothing. It did not connect through USB nor through an electrical plug. If the cost wasn't prohibitive I would return them. They are even too small to act as a doorstop. Don't waste your money.

Smooth I will start off by stating that I was indeed a skeptic but wanted to give it a try. Made sense that with the conductive fiber that it would work better, but logic and reality don't always go together. When I got the product, I was a bit disappointed, not because it didn't work as advertised, but because I was sent the wrong stylus. Inside the packaging that claimed 'new hybrid' was actually standard rubber tipped stylus. I was frustrated for sure, but a quick email to support and the issue was handled. That said, it gave me a chance to compare the difference between the cheap 3pack I got with the standard rubber tip from amPen and this new hybrid. I hate seeing low ratings cause of bad experiences with shipments and whatever, so its purely based on the product, as I believe it should be.cheap 3pack: Surprisingly decent stylus. I have no real complaints. Has similar length to it as the amPens, but a bit heftier in weight department. Rubber tip was comparable. All in all a decent stylus with a very good price.amPen ultra capacitive stylus: Again, decent, though lighter. Comes with the plastic headphone jack so you can attach to whatever device and not lose it (works fine, though I don't use it simply by preference). Sensitivity is the same as far as I can tell compared to the much cheaper 3 pack, however, the stylus itself is definitely lighter in weight. Also, noticed that the rubber tip had a bit more drag to it then the cheap one; very noticeable when holding at a slight angle compared to the 3pack. Could be due to screen protector I'm using, but it was a bit of an annoyance for sure. Drag was less noticeable held straight up, but made its use very uncomfortable for me. I ultimately preferred to the 3pack.hybrid: Sensitivity is higher so I can write at an angle with less issue and there is no resistance on the screen with the fiber tip. The weight is the same as the other amPen rubber tip stylus as far as I can tell which means its lighter than the 3pack. All in all, I find myself enjoying the feel of its weight especially when there is little to no drag on the screen surface. Comes with the plastic headphone jack as well.To close, just keep in mind these styli are not meant to be pressed down on the screen. Just light touch is sufficient; this holds especially true with the hybrid. Not that you can't press down hard, though it may wear down the rubber/fiber tip faster if you do. Probably less of an issue with the hybrid given the friction is less apparent, but definitely something you want to pay attention to with the standard rubber tips. It is a fantastic and reasonably priced stylus that shouldn't disappoint.

BOOooooooo..... I've tried the cheapo versions on Ebay. You know the ones, 3 stylus for 4 bucks. And they were not too impressive. So I thought I'd try the 10 dollar version. And it's pretty much the same stylus; hurkey jerky lines, hit or miss taps and overall flimsy construction. I draw. I used to draw with a resistive screen using a cheap stylus and it worked fantastically. I was able to actually do cross hatching. I guess my point is, if you think this will be good for drawing with any accuracy, you'll be quite disappointed.

Its a phone cover... Just what I expected. The cover fits the Droid 2 really well and it doesn't add too much bulge to the phone.I just wish I picked a different color. Looks pretty girly in person. For the price, its exceptional. The screen cover is garbage though. I tossed it and kept the cloth wipe. Better than getting ripped off $20 at the Verizon store...

Not cool this phone sucks big time is not worth buying the camera sucks big time it freezes all the time well what can you expect from ZTE & Kyocera both are the same Chinese Japanese no good the only good they know what to do is Sony brand stay away from ZTE & Kyocera trust me no no I'm doing in you a favor from getting grey hairs you will be mad at this both brands all the time I use to buy phones from this brand's I use to be so mad I don't know what I was thinking the music players suck slow internet signal lost 3g never was there the following phones are the phones who gave me grey & white hairs the ZTE warp from boost ZTE avail 1 & 2 ZTE awe Kyocera rise Kyocera event but gues what now that for the first time gotten money to buy a good enough phone I'm happy and have no signal & 3g lost & no music player problems & no more grey hairs growing thanks to the HTC one v good phone go for it :) but if you wanna get grey hairs buy the ZTE avail 2 is on sale at the family dollar store for $49.99 no wonder why lol I wanna see a Samsung galaxy s3 for $49.99 never lol only contract but who needs that :p

Definitely NOT a Mophie I've had Mophie Juicepack cases for the iPhone 3G and 4, and got tired of waiting for the 5, so I bought this product instead. What a mistake. The quality of the product is less than stellar - the phone doesn't slide into the case easily and sometimes can be "off track" and I imagine, if not paying attention, one could put it in "off a little" and break the connector. The kickstand is very flimsy and not very useful.Also, when I turned it on, it made a very faint high pitched "squealing" sound.. not sure why.My biggest complain, and this is huge to me, is that you cannot access the headphone jack while the case is on. I'm a poker player and none of my headphones (both Bose) can plug in while the case is on, which makes the case mostly useless to me.I've returned it and will go back to patiently waiting for the Juice Pack.

Phone is a good value, but not great I bought this phone as a temporary replacement for a Galaxy S4. The phone is was one of the cheapest new 4G LTE phones I could find for AT&T.; The phone doesn't seem super cheap feeling. It has an ok sized screen and an ok weight. The phone doesn't have the newest Kit Kat operating system, but Jelley Bean is sufficient. This phone is okay if you are easy on your phones. I am used to running multiple tasks all day long. This phone glitches under heavy use. The phone will temporarily freeze on occasions.I also noticed that it will not keep your place sometimes on apps such as Facebook. If you are in the middle of writing a message and you stop to do something else. If you reopen the app holding the home button it will erase your messages.The soft keys are not as responsive as I would like, but it is a cheaper phone. The screen itself responded just fine to my touch.I also disliked the slide bar on the right side of the screen for scrolling web pages. My finger hit that many times as I was reading a page on accident. The internet must be running pages even if your not viewing them. I had a video start playing while I was viewing another page in a different window. The video even started playing while my screen was off and I wasn't using the phone.The battery life kind of sucks, but the phone charges fast. I use my phone all day long. I'm assuming it is just a small battery capacity. Again this is a cheap phone and not my S4.The photo taking a video taking are adequate. My videos were grainy and the pictures were ok. The camera on this phone is fine for keeping memories, but I wouldn't use it to put pictures on my wall. This phones camera does exactly what it needs to do and nothing more.I felt like this phone was lacking on some settings that could have really helped this phone. I disliked having to go into settings instead of the top bar to switch wifi networks and to turn on Bluetooth. I do like not having to swipe my screen to open it. I just hold my finger on the screen. I do not like that the home screen doesn't display todays date.The speaker on this phone is nothing special. I used it to play music and it wasn't very loud. I wasn't expecting it to be either. It was fine enough for the price category of this phone. I also tried the headphone jack to a stereo. The output there was also low. I then played music through Bluetooth. The music played just as my S4 would have.Phone calls came in clear and I could understand everyone who called. I had no complaints from anyone else about hearing me on the other end.

Beautiful Tortoise Look but Overall Poor Quality Finish I very much like the rich tortoise shell look of this case. The case fits the phone perfectly but after only using on my phone for two days, the tortoise finish is chipping off around the edges exposing the silver plastic underneath. Unfortunately the quality of the toroise design coating is not up to the overall rich look of the case.

Worst Cell Phone I've ever owned. Wanted to update from a previous Net10 Motorola phone to this one as it had a better camera and I was hoping would acquire a signal faster than the previous phone.The main problem I have with this phone is it just won't dial or answer calls reliably. With full bars, it will not dial the number...It will act like it's dialing and just display the number and name and nothing happens...repeatedly. When the phone rings (full bars again), I do not hear the person on the other end when answered.. I can't believe that Motorola made such an unreliable phone.Texting is slow and annoying on this model. Press a letter button and you then you have to scroll to the letter you want and then select it. It requires changing keys 3 times for each letter you enter.. Good in theory but much slower in practice. Previous method of just pushing the button again to change the letter was much faster and standard on most cell phones.I won't go into how cheap the plastic is on this one.. The camera was better but I'm primarily in need of a phone now. I believe Motorola should be ashamed of having their name on this one. The bluetooth headset that came with it is worthless.I'm chucking the phone but keeping the battery.

BUYER BEWARE!!! I was disappointed to see that not all of the accessories that are standard with the new unit are shipped with this unit. It only has one earbud and none of the ring type ear adapters that allow this unit to be used with the Jabra eargels. If the other review is correct that this is in fact a refurbished or used unit, that is not stated anywhere in the description and is fraudulent as far as I am concerned. I went back to the description and did find that in the fine print that it did not contain all of the standard earbuds. I buy lots of things from Amazon and this is the first time that a product has been misrepresented.BUYER BEWARE!!

ArmorSuit has improved. I have used an ArmorSuit product in the past both for a tablet and a smartphone. I was not incredibly pleased with them at the time (approx. 18-20 months ago).However I just got a new smartphone and the ArmorSuit protector was a better price than some of the competition, so I decided to give them another try.I installed the protector yesterday. It was much easier than I remember it being in the past. All of the bubbles came out almost immediately. Now that the protector has dried, it's crystal clear. One issue I had previously was that I felt the screen was not as responsive as it was before installation of the protector, but with this version I do not have that same issue.If you look at my phone, you wouldn't even know there's a protector on it unless you looked very hard. Overall, I'm extremely pleased so far. For the price, I definitely recommend this.

Better than with wires The headset doesn't fit as smoothly as some of the smaller ones.My phone needs to be fairly close to the headset for the transmission of music to take place without interruption.

Top and bottom edges don't stick Very disappointed with this product. The three-layer installation process was convenient and almost worked perfect. The cover laid down great with no bubbles and very little help from me. Only problem, the top and bottom 1/4" did not stick at all. I cleaned the screen with rubbing alcohol and made sure it was spotless and had no oil residue. I experienced the same result with all three screens. On the last try, I peeled it back up just a little and cut off that 1/4 inch at the top and bottom and it still didn't fix it completely. there is still about 2 mm of edge that wont stick no matter what. Plus it looks stupid now because the whole screen isn't covered. I guess you get what you pay for.

Get what you pay for I purchased this specifically for the retractability factor of the cord. Pulled it out of the package and pulled it out about 10 inches and pulled a bit more to make it go back in, nothing. Pulled out a few more inches then tried to get it to catch. Now I have a standard car charger that won't retract. It's essentially a piece of crap. Also a further note, the plastic gets super hot when you have it charging, don't know it is my car or the item causing it so basically I would say "Don't buy this junk."

it's a feature phone I had an old flip phone for over 10 years but it worked well and was small, sleek and lightweight so when I was looking for replacement over the past few years that does not require a data plan, I had very little options. There were ugly, bulky phones for $20 to $60 that I don't want even if free. When I saw this feature phone and read some of the review, I decided I will take a risk and if it was horrible then it's time to upgrade to a smartphone or see how much longer will my flip phone last.I had the phone for almost 2 weeks and it has dropped from $60 to $52. It's about the size and weight of my work BB and it had a touch screen that is responsive. The battery life is good, about 2 bars after 4-5 days with minimal daily calls/texts. The reception, speaker and calls are good and voice recognition is decent but I needed to calibrate it. I still need to swipe the screen to turn on the speakerphone even when using the voice feature. I wish it had dedicated button to push to activate the speakerphone so I don't need to look at the screen and activate it; my ancient phone had it. The menu is not designed well and require multiple entries to get to feature I needed and won't allow you to cutomize your menu screen. It does a have dedicated button to access features quickly like web, messaging, music player, games, etc. So far, no regrets and I might be able to use this for the next year or 2 until data plans comes down in price or the phone breaks.

Great Phone Does Everything I Need It To Pros: lightweight, durable, small, fast, Android OS, T-Mobile network, DLNA, GPS very accurate, speaker is LOUD, reliableCons: Gorilla Glass will sometimes have some issues recognized your finger in extreme cold, camera could probably be better, needs better Flash supportFirst I'd like to say I was an early adopter to the entire Android platform coming from a G1. This phone fulfilled all my expectations and made up for all the shortcomings of the G1. Before I made the decision on buying this phone I spent a week with the MyTouch 4G before returning it for this. The MyTouch is an outstanding phone don't get me wrong but it just wasn't for me. I found the Mytouch to be too big and heavy and thought I would break it if I dropped it. I was tempted by the front facing camera which I came to the realization that it would never get used. I've already dropped the Defy multiple times with no issues. Don't be fooled by some of the specs this phone is fast. After coming from the rooted G1 I was also skeptical on the entire Motoblur interface. I really don't see what the big deal is that you have to make a free account through Motorola and deal with some different icons on the screen. If you really don't like the look of it try LauncherPro. If you are new to the Android platform don't worry, if you don't like the way something is on the phone there is probably a free application to download that will function the way you want. I wish Amazon had this phone when I bought it but I had to go to the T-Mobile store.If you have any questions let me know and I'll try to help you out.

well i bought it for a gift to ma mom so cant tell much about it.. well i bought it for a gift to ma mom so cant tell much about it... but looks a very promising device tho...

LG800G Touch Screen I have had the LG800G Tracfone for about four months and have differing thoughts. It is a good deal for a touch screen. When it first came out, the price point was at $59.99. Now (July 2012) it is at $49.99. When I got mine through the Tracfone website, it was at $39.99. Amazon is offering it for $32.99, which is a good deal. The phone is easy to use and for a prepaid phone is a giant leap for the technology available. Everything about the phone is fantastic except for texting. There is no stylus provided with the phone and texting with your fingers is difficult. There are different methods of texting input. You can use the ABC method like the older analaog phones were. You can use the QWERTY keyboard, which is difficult to do unless you use a pencil or other "stylus". You can use the hand writing method. I have been told that I print like a walking typewriter (Thanks to Mrs Foster my fourth grade teacher). Even with this, I have to attempt up to five times to get a "T" not to register as a "J". Be careful also about how you carry the phone when not in use. The touch screen is very sensative and could engage when you don't want it to. It is also annoying when getting a call. As soon as you get the call, the screen goes into the lock mode and you have to hold the unlock icon if you need to press any keys for input, (Like when the prompt comes for you to enter 1 for this or enter 2 for that). I do like the phone for daily use. I just can't text with it. Tracfones are relatively inexpensive so I have a second one that I use for texting. My friends and family have gotten used to me having more than the one phone number. Is it a Smart Phone? It could be with the right apps. Tracfone is pretty "propriotary" with their software and can only be downloaded through their sites so you are very limited on what you can do. I am retired now and do not use my phone as I used to but like to have an upgrade from the "clamshell" type of phones. If you can use a phone with touchscreen but again do not use the phone as your PC, this one is good. If you use your phone for texting, this one could really slow you down. Make sure you know what you are getting into when you get this one. I might just retire this one into one of my desk drawers and go back to my LG500C. After writng this review, I have done just what I said I might do. Retired the LG800G into the top right drawer of my desk and used my LG500G I got from Amazon. I hope this helped you make your decision of getting this phone or not.

Don't buy this worthless product This is a worthless product. I wasted my money to order two of it for my kids. Firts they sent me the wrong thing, and it took another week to correct that. When the actual thing arrived, I thought it was a prank. It is worthless and doesn't stick properly. I wrote backt to start a return process and got no feedback. Will definitely NOT recommend it for anyone.

What a case should be After having issues with the Droid X series Commuter case fitting too loosely around the screen, I had not tried a Commuter since. When purchasing my Droid Razr Maxx however, I asked the salesman what case he was using on his. He showed me his Maxx in a Commuter and I came straight home and ordered one.Not a fan usually of secondary sales but the One Stop Cell Shop actually outdid Amazon! Paid for standard shipping and it went from order placement to in my hands in 2 days. Well done One Stop!The lines and thought that has always gone into the Otterbox series has always been impressive. The one feature I like most about the Razr Maxx version may not appeal to all. It fits like a second skin. With a non-removable battery, that isn't a big deal though as access for cleaning will be greatly diminished by the skin-tight fit.Fitting so snuggly means it is a pain in the behind to get properly seated into the polycarbonate shell though. Once complete though I have to say it is very impressive. Excellent coverage of the areas most likely to be dinged in normal use.As mentioned already, the power/volume rocker are covered by the silicone inner shell but again, the fit is so perfect, it actually feels better than the bare phone. The power button is textured differently on the silicone skin than the volume rocker so no problems with adjusting by feel.With the popularity Otterbox gained with their iPhone line, it was perhaps inevitable that going "main stream" with so many makes and models supported that not all would live up to the standards of fit and coverage they became so popular for.Having owned an original Otterbox though I can truthfully say that this model not only meets but exceeds the fit and workmanship of the original. If you are a heavy user (which a 3300mah battery phone would indicate), you will be hard pressed to find a better dual layered protection unit than this.With minimal bulk, in and out of pocket ease and prices through Amazon, this is a perfect case for the Droid Razr Maxx.

Very pretty but nearly useless. First off, I will say that I've tried a lot of iPhone cases in the past and have yet to find that perfect one. The one that provides protection while not adding much bulk and while compromising the phone function as little as possible. Not only does this case fail at all of those, it may be the single worst iPhone case I've ever used, which is a shame because it's beautifully made out of quality materials. It's all about the design.Let me start, though, with the positives.1. The material that this case is made out of is impeccable. It's solid stainless steel with real screws and a few plastic bits connecting the front plate with the back. In my opinion, as long as the screws and the little plastic bits hold out, which I expect them to, this case would likely last for years. Even the hinge seems to be built to last.2. The case adds very little bulk or weight to the phone. It's one of the lightest iPhone cases out there, despite being made of stainless steel. It's also barely thicker than the iPhone itself and only very slightly wider and taller.3. You have full access to all the ports on the phone as well as switches around the edges of the phone with minimal hindrance to fingers as well.4. Extremely close tolerances and snug fit gives the impression of solid design. Best fitting case I've ever seen on an iPhone.However, all of this is spoiled by the actual design itself.1. The case is designed almost like a flip-phone. There are two plates of steel with cutouts (nicely deburred) for the screen, camera, home button, etc. with another steel plate on a hinge that flips 180 degrees from protecting the screen to straight up. However, the flap will neither stay closed nor open on its own. There is no sort of closure or clasp, magnetic or otherwise, that keeps the flap down, and there is no locking notch or other system that will keep it in the fully open position. It's designed to be talked on with the flap closed, but if you want to do more than one thing, such as use speaker phone and also be accessing other functions on the phone, the flap is constantly in the way. You'll also discover that the flap is hard to open one-handed yet will sometimes flip itself open, with gravity assist, precisely when you don't want it to. It's possible that this could have been remedied by having a flap that moved a complete 360 degrees to rest against the back plate, but this is not in the design, and would likely compromise something else functionally.2. Speaking of plates made out of thin stainless steel, this is an uncomfortable case to hold for very long. The edges are very thin, though nicely smoothed out. However, you tend to still get a lot of pressure applied to a small area even if you are just holding the phone normally (e.g., not squeezing hard) for just a few minutes up to your ear. Even worse is working on the phone screen itself where you have to have a finger supporting it from the bottom, near the dock connector, to keep it slipping. It feels as though it's cutting into your hand slowly, though it's not actually doing any harm. It's somewhat painful to hold for very long.3. The flap blocks the screen, yet strangely there's a cut-out on the screen to display the time/caller ID. While clever and very precisely cut, it sort of defeats the purpose of having a screen cover. Similarly, when the flap is in the fully open position, it makes the phone-case combo more than twice as tall and a bit unwieldy. If you want to take photos, you've got to figure out a way to hold the flap open and still operate the camera. Worse, you lose the ability to type in landscape mode because the flap blocks your hand from grasping from one side, even if you open it only 90 degrees or so. Lastly, to answer the phone you actually have to open the case all the way up. This can be done one-handed but often requires fiddling with because your holding hand may have a stray finger wrapping around an edge slightly and pinning the flap down.4. The sharp edges and the screw heads tend to catch in the folds of clothing, especially pockets. This makes retrieving it from your pants pocket a bit more of a challenge than it should be. It's not bad, and the limited additional bulk overall helps in this regard, but was definitely noticeable over my other case. It's not as bad as an Otter Box, but nowhere near as clean as, say, a bumper case. Similarly, most iPhone holders, such as windshield mounts, struggle more with the oddball shaped edges of this case.5. As mentioned before, the sides are completely open. Now that means the stainless steel antennae are exposed along with the ports, and that's not TOO bad, but there is no protection offered for the buttons or switches at all. Lots of nice grit and detritus will get pinned between the case and the screen/back as well, providing for that dirty look you've always wanted.6. Strangely, the back is very open. Instead of covering and protecting the whole back, the stainless back plate only covers the top part of the phone down past the camera (with cutout for camera and flash) and then has an X-brace bridging the sides of the metal plate across the back glass. This provides effectively no protection for the back of your iPhone, you know, the other part made of glass. Other than for styling purposes, I cannot imagine why this was done.7. Rubber band is included for retaining credit cards, IDs, etc. seems added on as an afterthought. It really doesn't go well with the overall design but, more importantly, it tends to make the flap not close all the way and make it that much easier to accidentally flip all the way open under gravity assist. The rubber band would have been put to better use as some sort of mechanism to keep the flap closed or open.8. The iPhone is inserted into the case from the top. It just slides right in. There is a small felt pad that you must stick onto the inside of the top of the case itself to provide a little more snug of a fit for the iPhone once in the case, and it does do this job somewhat well, but the phone can still quite easily slip right out of the top of the case, even with the felt pad in place, if tossed or dropped just right. There's nothing stopping the iPhone from flying right out other than a slight bit of friction between the felt pad and the back of the iPhone. This could have been remedied by a small latch or flap at the top of the case serving as a closure, but none was designed.9. Which brings me back to the main failure of this case. Protection. It offers none whatsoever. The case is solid and rigid. There are no soft edges, no crumple zones, no place for it to give. The tolerances are so tight that every bit of force received by the case will be transferred directly to the iPhone body, too. If you drop it in this case, you might as well have not had a case at all. Not only are the sides and back not protected, because the flap over the screen is not retained by any sort of closure, it is free to flip right open and uncover the screen. The most protective thing about it is the plastic screen protector film that came with the package.Unfortunately the case succeeds as an object of industrial art and design but fails miserably as a case. I'm keeping that on and going back to my old case. I really wanted to like this case, and I generally love CRKT stuff, but this is a colossal failure of a design.

back to the phone is broken first off phone worked great!! I love everything abooutt itt!! except for the fact that the bk to the phone is brken. will not evem at all fit on the phone nor stay.. i knew the price of this pphone was to good. i recieved it fast! n i loved the way it was delicately wraped in the package! but the bk uh!!! i bought an otta to go with it, but if i wouldnt have i would not be able to use it at all! unless i taped the back shut!! i just got the phone i dont want to tape it uh!!!!!!!! i just sent an email to the seller i hope the respond soon!!

Great Design and Lovely Colors Product was delivered super-fast and love the package. I tried it last night. It does what the ad says --- 1) super easy to put on and remove 2) charges in 2 hours 3) extended my iPhone 5S' battery life more than double so now I don't need to worry about running flat on battery while playing games! 4) I can change my iPhone case colors every day! These 7 colors are pretty.The only thing to complain is that now I have to buy more as Christmas gifts to my sisters!

New Review! I like this item B0000AGRYX very much You should read more reviews to find out more about it

wireless headphone This wireless headphone works exactly the way it was described. It is easily to operate and lite weight around your neck.

best avaliable After owning several bluetooth headsets the Plantronics 640 is the best I have seen. Please keep in mind that no bluetooth headset is as good as a wired headset. With all of them you will experience some occasional static and problems with backround noise and wind. This headset is real comfortable, it is the only one that you can forget it is on. It is also the only one that does not interfere with glasses. It's holder options and charging options are excellent. If you understand the pitfalls of bluetooth technology you will not be disapointed with this device. Last but not least it is the coolest looking headset out there.

Don't recommend I got this as a gift and spent two hours trying to get it to pair with my phone. I downloaded the app, read all the instructions and never could get my phone to recognize the device. I figured it was something I was doing so I took it back to the store and the clerk spent about thirty minutes trying to pair the watch with the phone and then gave up. It is not user friendly and since I never got it to work I don't know what kind of performance it would give.

Great Simple Phone If you are looking for something simple that has great call quality this is the phone. I researched low SAR (absorbed radiation) and this was the cheapest most simple phone available. My other phone was ancient, so this feels like a huge step up. Love the speakerphone, internal antenna. The camera doesn't take super clear pictures, but my other phone didn't have a camera at all - so still a step up. Overall pleased with how it functions and quality of calls.

good, but doesn't hold much the card holder part only holds one card or license. it's really hard to close if you jam two or three in, which is a shame. otherwise, a great case and it looks like it protects the phone well

LG env3 VX9200 Phone, Don't Bother if you TEXT In June (it is now November), we renewed our phone contract and purchased to env3s and three env Touchs. The env3s have been replaced at least 4 times now due to malfunctions. It appears these phones are NOT designed for high-volume texters, even though it was highly recommended. Both of my children text constantly, but do not talk much on their phones. The external microphones have given out for no apparent reason and the phones started locking up after a while. And, the external backlight was not working on one of the phones.When we take them back, they're readily replaced with yet another phone that gives out after about a month or two of use. It's driving us crazy and we're going to work with our carrier to switch to a different phone style. So, if you're a high-volume text person, be warned!! Other than that, the phones were fine!

Buy one! You can't buy better for the money! After buying and paying and paying... and paying for my subsidized AT&T; Galaxy S4 I decided to look around when buying for a phone for my wife. I knew I didn't want to be trapped in a contract so I went with the Nexus 5 and off contract Straight Talk service. This was and still is an excellent purchase. (Both highly recommended)But when it came to getting a phone for may 9 year old daughter $400+ was not in the cards. After tons of looking I found this great looking Blu Studio 5.0S II and immediately ordered it. Smaller, thinner, and faster with a quad core and full 1 gig of ram than the $130 Studio 5 II. It also has the better 8Mp cam on the back and 1.6 Mp cam on the front. (Works great, HD? for Skype) The phone has a great bright IPS screen that looks good from all angles. (See my uploaded pics for examples... also rear cam example) Oh and it does NOT have the problem some of the Blu 5.3" and 5.5" have as far as the screen dimming every 5 seconds.The 4.2 android is very fluid and the phone is very responsive. I hear Blu will be rolling out Kit Kat at the beginning of May.The phone as far as size is the same width as my Galaxy S4, same thickness and only a 1/4"" taller as measured.The speaker is very loud and clear (much better than my Galaxy S4 and wife's Nexus 5)The phone call on both ends is about average quality. (I don't have a sim card yet I just used the magic Jack free calls app)The phone comes with cheap headphones, 1 amp charger, micro usb wire, clear rubber phone cover, and one screen protector. I would recommend getting more screen protectors as this phone does not have gorilla glass from what I understand.The rubber cover is great it fits well but I would not expect that to save the phone Falling more than a few feet. I hope more cases become available for this phone. I went ahead and ordered the Square Trade $30 1-year replacement in case my daughter breaks the screen.As far as the screen quality goes it looks nice and bright from all angles.... and I really can't tell much of a difference between the Galaxy S4 or Nexus 5 when it comes to pictures or video. It plays Netflix and YouTube very well.As has been said before the one major issue with this phone is the lack of internal storage space. It only comes with 4 gigabytes only of which 2 are available because of the operating system. Only 780 megabytes are available to install apps like any Google apps that require to be installed on the phones internal memory. I would suggest moving as many apps as you can to an external SD card and also set the cameras default save location: to the external SD card. For only about $15 you can add a nice high speed 16 gigabyte card to this phone. Something the Nexus 5 and IPhone can't do.The battery isn't great but lasts about a day under normal usage.So in summary I would definitely buy this phone if my Galaxy A4 broke and use it with T-mobile $30 unlimited text and data plan. ( I would use the magic jack Free Calls app to make phone calls over the data)Added 4/13/14 2 yr cost comparisons:Galaxy S4$3456 total cost with phone for 2 years on-contract with insurance. 4G LTE 6 gigs data a month.Nexus 5$1800 Total cost with phone after 2 years with accident protection through Square Trade. $45 Staight talk 4G LTE no contract. Unlimited talk, text, data. (Throttled after 2.5 gigs)Blu Studio 5.0 S II$1195 Total cost with phone after 2 years with accident protection through Square Trade. $30 a month T-Mobile 4G unlimited text and Data. (Throttled after 5 gigs) 2 years of Magic Jack Voip service (use the "magicApp" app by MagicJack to make phone calls over the data connection)Hope this helps,Charles Smith

Case is excellent but... Let me start out by saying this is a wonderful product that fits the Droid perfectly. The clip that goes onto your belt and the quick release system works great. There is a little button that goes on the back that snaps into your belt clip. You can choose not to use the clip and replace the button with circular insert that covers up the hole left when you remove the button. Very creative design.As others have stated, there is no need to ever remove this case since all the ports and buttons you need access to are cut out. Also, it feels great in your hand and doesn't have a lot of bulk.Having said all this, I am going to return it for one reason. The screen is exposed when you clip it onto your belt. This makes me feel comfortable as I travel a lot on airplanes, trains and cabs. I am worried that it will get bumped into and damage the screen. I know i can purchase a good screen protector like invisible shield, but I am more concerned about a hard bump. If this doesnt concern you, then I highly recommend this case. But I would say purchase a good screen protector like Invisible shield or Bodyguardz. I have used the invisible shield on my HTC Touch Pro and it works awesome and does give you a good grip on the phone.My solution is going to be to install the invisible shield on all the phone and purchase the holster that Verizon sells. The phone goes into the holster screen side down so only the back of the phone is exposed when worn on your belt.I hope my thoughts are helpful. BTW you can find the invisible shield by Zagg here at Amazon. (This is not a commercial)...
