Premier Spiral Slicer Vegetable Spiralizer Bundle, Zucchini Spaghetti Pasta Maker Black by PremierSslicer
4.0 out of 5 stars See what all the hype is about!, October 30, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I had to see what all the hype was about! I found out soon that --somehow-- cutting veggies with a spiralizer makes them more delicious! Zucchini and squash turn into almost a pasta-like medium which can be adorned with sauce or any kind of salad dressing (with more nutritional value than newspaper, unlike iceberg lettuce). The included gripper is great for keeping your fingers save and getting a good grip on the veggies, and the included brush is essential for getting the device clean. My only complaint with this otherwise great spiralizer is that the metal rim is very sharp considering you're going to have to grip it pretty hard too use it, so I wish it had something more rounded to hold onto. PremierSslicer was kind enough to provide me with a discount on this spiralizer so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glass feels great on your fingers!, October 29, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I love glass screen protectors. The way your finger slides over them, the way the screen looks absolutely crystal clear with no rainbow effect from your finger grease. And I can say from first hand experience that they do a great job protecting your screen. I've had one take a hit that shattered the glass protector, but left the phone's screen without a scratch. They add a little thickness, but this is mitigated by a curved edge that feels smooth when you swipe over it. The Poweradd premium protector is also very easy to install. Just line it up and press it on from the middle. Poweradd was good enough to give me a discount so that I could try this protector out and leave an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars The TUTURA blue leather looks great with the blue Galaxy S6!, October 28, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Normally, I wouldn't expect leather to look to good on the midnight blue Galaxy S6, but then I found the TURATA blue leather case! As you can see in the pictures, it matches the blue Galaxy S6 very well. It feels and smells like leather, so I suspect it's the real deal. The leather pads the phone very well, providing great protection while still allowing for wireless charging.

The rim of the case extends very slightly past the plane of the screen, so there is some protection offered there, but it is very slight, so you'll probably want a screen protector too. Fortunately, a basic screen protector is included with this case! The leather on the back extends slightly past the camera hump which is perfect because you want it to be slim, but you don't want a lot of extra bulk. It also leaves the edges on the top and bottom exposed, which I actually like since the metal edge of the Galaxy S6 is really cool. The buttons are also left exposed, which generally is the best way for a case to handle buttons. Putting layers over the button never quite pulls off the same feeling.

The only downside for me is no fault of the case itself, but in other cases, I have a metal plate inserted for use with a car mounting system, but the case does not fit right when I try to use it here. I'm still searching for a good work around for this. I might actually cut out the plastic behind the leather to make room, but that's a job for another day.

This is my first experience with the TURATA brand, and I am very pleased so far. They were nice enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try out the case and provide an informed review. The case comes with a screen protector and is presented in a very nice box that looks and feels like a jewelry gift box. Inside the case is wrapped in a cloth bag.

5.0 out of 5 stars Need a new HDMI cable? GO LONG!, October 28, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
If you need a new HDMI cable, there is really very little you need to consider besides price. However one thing you should think about is length: if your new cable is too short, you're going to have a really hard time getting that HD signal to your TV or receiver. This is why I highly recommend you check out the 10 foot (!!) HDMI cable by Bargains Depot. With 10 feet of cable, the possibilities for your entertainment center become much broader: You can have your TV mounted in a more comfortable location or have things like computers tucked away while still providing an output to the TV. Using a long HDMI cable and a laptop is a dead simple way to do a slideshow on your TV of photos, or play content from your computer. This is a lot easier if your HDMI cable is longer than the end of the shelf of your entertainment center. The distinctive blue ends will also help you figure out what the other terminal is plugged into, instead of guessing which black cord goes to the one you just plugged into your TV. Bargains Depot was kind enough to provide a discount on this cable so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great color, weak magnet., October 28, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I love the color of this air vent mount. I always opt for blue whenever it's an option. I really like that it has an articulating ball that you can tighten because your air vent is not usually pointed directly at your eyes. I've tried a few of these now, and I'm not really a fan of the 4-prong attachment piece, you're better off finding one with a tightenable clamp. Also, I'm not sure if it's the magnets or the thin metal pieces that you stick to your phone, but the magnet is not as strong as similar products. Otherwise, this is a really great solution for getting your phone in a safe place to see and use in the car. I received a discount on this car mount so that I could try it out and leave an informed review.

KOR Delta BPA Free Water Bottle, 750ml, Ice Blue by KOR Water
5.0 out of 5 stars Adds a personal touch to an otherwise utilitarian object. Very well designed., October 27, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a really nice looking water bottle. I needed something with a handle so that I could carry it when my hands were full with other stuff. The lid locks into place with a satisfying click so you know it's secure, but you have the additional option of locking the lid with an extra switch to really make sure it won't open on accident. The Ice Blue color is really cool looking and water looks so clear in it, which is nice. The larger capacity is nice too. I have to say, though, that the best thing about this water bottle is the little window where you can add a little personalization to your water bottle. It's placed in a way that you see whatever you put in there every time you take a drink. This is a really nice touch to an otherwise utilitarian object that you use every day. I received a discount on this item so that I could provide an informed review.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I really needed a T5 screwdriver to replace the battery on my Nexus 4, but this set was very inexpensive, so I went with it instead. Now I have all the tools I need to take apart all of my phones! Not sure if that's a good thing, actually... The set is very well laid out and color coded, and you can use the ifixit.com tutorials to find your device-specific instructions. I would definitely recommend getting the whole set because you will also get the pry tools that will help you avoid scratching or otherwise damaging your device. I received a discount on this item so that I could provide an informed review. Wish me luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars Very much like iPhone headphones with a physical volume slider, and that's great!, October 27, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I got these for my Galaxy S6, and I have to say, they're more comfortable than the original earbuds that came with the phone. My test for comfort is if I can lay on my side and listen comfortably, since I often listen to audio books while I fall asleep at night. They very closely resemble the headphones that come with the iPhone 6, and that's fine by me. They also have a physical volume slider which is a nice thing to have if you want to turn the volume down in a hurry without getting the phone out, but I rarely use it otherwise. The wide, flat cords are nice because they don't get as tangled. The earphones get plenty loud and sound quality is respectable and similar to others in the price range. The play/pause remote button works well, but Samsung messed up the software so sometimes it will not start playing as it should, but this is the case with all the earbuds I've tried. I received a discount on these earbuds so that I could try them out and provide an informed review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful, bright, but not perfect., October 25, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This LED light fits perfectly under our metal kitchen cabinets, and since it has a magnetic mounting option, I can stick it anywhere I need it in the kitchen or wherever I need it. It's quite bright and it uses a motion sensor to activate the light. A few things hold this back from being a perfect light, however: 1) Using 4 AAA batteries seems like an expensive way to power this unit. Performance and battery life would have benefited from going with AA or a rechargeable option. 2) The motion sensor seems to be intermittent at actually detecting movement. Most of the time it's right on, but then sometimes it won't turn on even if you're right under it. 3) The light only stays on for about 12-13 seconds after it's been activated. It would be nicer if it stayed on for 30-60 seconds. Despite these shortcomings, it's still an overall good unit and does a very nice job of providing some extra light in the kitchen. I received a discount on this unit so that I could provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compact and Bright!, October 25, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This camping lantern is compact and bright! It turns on automatically when it's opened, which is super convenient. You can also control how bright it is by how far you slide the light out of the base, so if you just need a little light to find something in the dark, you can open it just a crack and it will still turn on, which is very smart. The handle is very versatile for hanging or holding or otherwise propping it up however you see fit. Since it's LED, you don't have to worry about heat causing trouble. All told, this is a very cool light. I received a discount so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ice blue and they'll last FOREVER!, October 23, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
These look really nice. They definitely achieve that "ice blue" effect. The real reason that I'm excited about these is that I shouldn't have to replace them ever again! I have burned through so many of the incandescent ones and I'm totally sick of replacing them because it's not a trivial task in my car: it takes quite a bit of coordination and feeling around blind to get the assembly taken apart and put in a new bulb. LEDs last pretty much forever, so I'm going to opt for them whenever I replace bulbs in my car.

My only criticisms are 11) that they are not nearly as bright as standard bulbs and 2) the metal connector is thinner than standard bulbs, so when they are plugged in, they tend to slide out easily, and this happened several times while I was trying to install them.

I received a discount on these bulbs so that I could test them out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classy, Slim and Smooth., October 23, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
There's something incredibly classy about the brushed aluminum look. It looks best on the white Galaxy S6 in my opinion. The OBLIQ Slim Metal case does a great job keeping the phone slim and looks better than some other brushed aluminum cases I've tested. One huge advantage is that it has cut outs to expose the real buttons of the device, which is usually a better option than a plastic button on top of the original ones. I also like the hard plastic snap on style of the sides, this is a way to keep the size smaller. The cut outs on the top and bottom are sized right and well placed. Just look at the pictures and you'll see that this is a beautiful case. I received a discount on this case so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.
