4.0 out of 5 stars TechSkin has it's advantages. Installation can be tricky though., November 28, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The wet-apply screen protectors are the hardest to apply, but they are the only ones that curve naturally to match the contours of screen like the one on the Galaxy S6. When applied correctly, you get the best looking and most unobtrusive result. Glass and dry-apply plastic cannot cover the screen in the same way, they leave the edges uncovered. These protectors are made of a soft material which is advantageous because it has natural shock absorbing qualities. It's disadvantageous because it's tackier than glass and it catches your finger sometimes and can have an "orange peel" effect when installation is not perfect. Skinomi does a wonderful job providing accurate instructions including links to videos and diagrams. They also provide all the necessary materials to make sure your installation goes smoothly. They also have great customer service and in the past, they've replaced screen protectors after I've messed up installation free of charge. For the Galaxy S6, I'd actually recommend getting the full skin, not just the screen protector. Skinomi was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this protector and provide an informed review.

BaeLove ® Baby Car Mirror | Back Seat Rear-facing Infant In Sight | Cleaning Cloth | Luxury Holiday Gift Box | CRASH TESTED | Lifetime Guarantee by BaeLove
5.0 out of 5 stars Skip the gimmicks, this is the mirror you want to keep an eye on your rear-facing child!, November 28, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
As a new parent, the urge to buy the best of everything is great. When it comes to back seat mirrors, "the best" usually appear to be the ones will the most bells and whistles: lights, speakers, remote controls, etc. At least that was what it meant to me. It wasn't until over a year later that I tried the BaeLove back seat mirror and realized that I was wrong. This is the best, most practical design for one of these mirrors.

What makes this one so much better? First of all, if you go for one of those other ones, you'll realize very quickly that all the bells and whistles are pure crap. A light? You already have a more convenient dome light in your car. Music? Your car does that too. A remote? A piece of junk that will float around your car unused until you throw it in the garbage or lose it. All this runs on like 5 or 6 AA batteries, too. Second: this model has almost no bezel. I feel like I have my rear windshield view back! "Fancier" models all have a common feature: a giant bezel that obstructs nearly your entire back windshield. This is unsafe and the designers should be ashamed for needlessly obstructing the views of so many new parents while they cart around their newborn children. Finally, this model actually has an articulating ball joint for adjustments. Most other models use some sort of velcro/friction system that seems to require a lot of unnecessary fabric to allow for the viewing angle to be adjusted. The BaeLove works much better: just strap the thing to your headrest with simple clips and aim it wherever you want.

In conclusion: if you're a new parent, do yourself a favor and buy one of these. Don't get one of the name brand gimmicky ones (which seem to be all the big box stores carry) with features you'll never end up using. This is the perfect design for what you're looking for.

I received a discount on this item so that I could try it out and provide a review.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Look at me drinking Moscow Mules out the appropriate copper mug! We only use the best Maine-made ginger beer and now with this mug, it's a genuine experience! The mug itself if very high quality. I've put it through the dishwasher a couple of times and it still looks good as new. The handle is affixed very securely and the hammered texture is very good looking. The mug is also a very good size, it holds a very big drink if you want one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extend the usefulness of your old computer case!, November 23, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This little piece of metal extended the usefulness of my computer case quite a ways. I needed to add another hard drive, but I had already stuffed every available bay with a hard drive in my Home Theater PC. I did have two bays for CD/DVD rom drives and only one of them actually had a drive in it. This little adapter did the trick! my new drive fit easily in the adapter, and the adapter then acted just like a DVD drive and slid into the slot. So far it has been quiet and solid. Orico was kind enought to provide me with a discount so that I could try out this adapter and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bright and comfortable. So happy it's rechargeable!, November 23, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a fantastic upgrade to the cheap LED headlamps that are common these day. I was impressed by the brightness of the LEDs and the comfort of the unit on my head. There are a few brightness settings and a blinking mode. The unit seems durable and it is advertised as waterproof, but the very best thing about this unit is that it has an internal RECHARGEABLE battery! I'm so tired of worrying about if I need to buy more AAA batteries every time I go camping, and this is one less thing to have to remember while I'm packing. MetroFlash was kind enough to provide me with a discount on this headlamp so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.

4.0 out of 5 stars The perfect case... except for the lack of camera protection., November 23, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This case looks amazing! It's so slim and the blue color is incredibly good looking. The problem with it is that there's no protection for the camera. The camera hump extends past the plane of the case which leaves it especially vulnerable to drops or just incidental damage when laying flat on a surface. I really wish it had some bumps or something to protect the camera, though. If it did, this would be my daily driver no problem. If you are not concerned about the camera protection, then get this case! Turata was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this case out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Adapts any tripod for use with your smartphone!, November 23, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a great little tool if you've got a nice tripod and a nice camera on your phone. I have a little mini tripod which is perfect for taking still life photos with my camera, but now that I've got this adapter, I can do the same thing with my Galaxy S6! The bluetooth shutter is great for this too because it ensures that you don't move the camera when taking a shot causing it to blur. It has mounting points on both the bottom and the "front" so you can do straight-down shots too. CamRah was kind enough to offer me a discount so that I could try this mount out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get rid of that tiny screwdriver and those tiny screw!, November 16, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have several old laptop hard drives kicking around and I wanted wipe them and convert them to regular storage drives. This is a great solution for me! I had an external drive enclosure that worked OK, but it was only USB 2.0 and, worse, it required me unscrew 4 screws to remove a drive and screw them back in to put a drive back in. This meant I had to keep track of the little screwdriver and the little screws that I had for this purpose. The Oittm enclosure is so much simpler! it's as easy as changing the batteries in your remote control! Just slide the plastic cover off, pop out the drive, and slide a different one in! Another great thing: This drive enclosure is made from soft-touch plastic which makes it less slippery than the metal enclosure it's replacing. I have had no issues getting my computer to recognize the drives I've tried with this on Windows 10 (however, I don't have USB 3.0, so I can't speak to the speeds and functionality for this). Oittm was kind enough to provide me with a discount on this item so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
You gotta love the feeling of a glass screen protector! It feels just like the original screen of the phone! I know from experience that these things can save your phone too. My phone got stuck in the metal arms of a recliner once and I had to pry it free. The screen protector was completely shattered but the screen itself made it out without a crack! These also provide the best clarity of all the screen protectors I've tried. others can leave the screen with rainbows wherever your finger grease gets swiped around, but these oleophobic screens don't do that. This fits the Nexus 5 very well and works with all the sensors. Aomidi was kind enough to offer me a discount on this screen protector so that I could try it out and provide an honest review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really nice looking, but a little to thick on the sides., November 16, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a great looking case, especially the carbon fiber-looking back. It also offered all the protection I could ask for in a case: the sides, the back, the camera and the screen are all well shielded. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the sides are too thick. It really adds a lot to the footprint of the phone and makes the headphone and charging port difficult to access in some instances. Otherwise, this is fantastic.It worked with my wireless charger and my magnetic car mount.

Crabby Wallet - Thin Minimalist Front Pocket Wallet Crabby Gear
5.0 out of 5 stars Minimize your pocket game!, November 13, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I'm a little bit obsessed with getting my wallet as slim as I can. If it were up to me, I wouldn't have to carry one at all. But even after I've transferred all my loyalty cards and some of my credit cards into my phone, they still make me carry my driver's license and I still need to have a card for emergencies in case my phone dies and once in a while, I still find myself in possession of paper money that I don't want to lose. This is why I love the Crabby Wallet! It's as slim as you make it. When it's empty, there's nothing to it, but you can fit a surprising number of cards into it and it just kind of absorbs them as it stretches out. The elastic band around that goes around the edge keeps everything securely in the wallet and slips off easily to get access to your cards. There is single smaller pocket for your go-to card and a little key chain which you can use optionally (I took mine off). The wallet is very comfortable in your pocket and doesn't have any extra layers or bulk so you can keep your pockets manageable. I received a discount on this wallet so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars The case is clear so your beautiful S6 can shine through!, November 13, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This clear case makes a lot of sense for a phone like the Galaxy S6. You really don't want to hide the beautiful design of the actual phone. Most cases completely disguise it with opaque plastic and you forget how awesome it is. The LoHi clear slim fit case lets the design shine through! It also offers quite a bit of protection for such a slim case. The back side has tiny raisers which keep the camera lens elevated off of surfaces, which is necessary with this phone. The front creates a small lip around the sides to protect the screen (but not so big that it becomes a pain to swipe from the edge of the screen). All of the cut outs are well placed and the buttons are responsive. All that together makes this a great case! LoHi was kind enough to give me a discount so that I could try out this case and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars These little flashlights rock!, November 10, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
These little flashlights rock! They are so tiny, but they pack a incredibly bright punch! They have a few features that make them more versatile too: a simple metal clip will allow you to attach the light to a surprising number of things and a focusing lens allows you to switch between a wide angle flood and a high-focused beam. The industrial look of the flashlights looks like something out of Call of Duty, but they act the part too: they are made of a tough metal and will take beating. I've had great results with Cree LEDs, so I'm confident these will work well for a long time. HausBell was kind enough to provide me a discount on these lights so that I could try them out and provide an informed review.

As devices pile up around the entertainment center, you end up with a lot of wasted space on the power strip since each little usb thing seems to have a power brick that doesn't fit next to its neighbor. Enter a 4-Port USB charger like this one from Spigen. First of all, I've come to trust the Spigen brand for its quality in general, and so far, this device is no exception. It's got one 2.0A port and three 1A ports. This is suitable for phones, bluetooth speakers or headphones, tablets and all the other little things that accumulate in a home. This device has safety switches to protect your devices from overcharging. It has 4 rubber pads which help it stay put when laying on a surface and it has a power indicator light on top. It includes a power cord. Spigen was nice enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this charger out and provide an informed review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Your camera bag needs one of these in it., November 8, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a fantastic gadget for amateur photographers. If you still have a camera bag that you take with you, this needs to be in it. I got it to help me with still photography around the house. The results are a huge step up from shooting by hand since exposures are often too long to get crisp shots with indoor light and point and shoot cameras. The unit includes a detachable screw for attaching to your device. My only complaint is that the top ball is looser than I would like it to be, so heavier cameras may shift under their own weight.
