Galaxy s6 Case CellEver® [Endure Series] Samsung Galaxy s6 Case Slim Hard Shell Shield Layer Holster Case with Kickstand and Locking Belt Swivel Clip for Samsung Galaxy s6 - Black by CellEver
5.0 out of 5 stars Turn your delicate S6 into a tank!, December 29, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This case essentially "rubberizes" your fragile Galaxy S6! It feels much more durable and very well protected in it. The kickstand is nice to have too, but only seems to work in the horizontal position. If you actually use the holster, it has a nice felt lining that helps keep your screen both protected and clean. It looks very nice too. I recommend this case to anyone that drops their phone a lot since it does add some great shock absorbing protection. CellEver was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could test this case out and provide an informed review.

Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site by Tom Lichtenheld
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for your son or daughter who loves construction machines., December 29, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
For my two year-old son who is obsessed with excavators (or "backhoes" as he calls them), this is the perfect bedtime book. It goes through several construction site vehicles and shows how they wind down at the end of the day. The anthropomorphic equipment "plays hard" all day, and will again tomorrow, but for tonight, they snuggle into their cozy parking spots, don teddy bears and blankets and go to bed. the artwork is very nice, the size is nice and large and the length is just about perfect to hold my boy's interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Skinomi does these very well., December 28, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I've used Skinomi screen protectors for several phones, but this is the first one I've tried on a larger device. I was a little worried that it would be to tacky to use, but to my surprise the result was smooth and allows fingers to swipe with ease. Installation was a little tricky since there's that tiny pinhole for the camera to worry about, but as long as you start with that, it goes pretty easily. As always, Skinomi provides all the materials for installation and great instructions (including Youtube videos). I highly recommend taking the time to watch they YouTube video before attempting installation, it will make things much clearer in your mind and result in a better application. Skinomi was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this protector out and provide an informed review.

LED Lights Sewing Machine, 20 Lumens, Magnetic Mount, for Task Lighting, Swing Arm Lamp by FAJ
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for sewing or other hobbies., December 28, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a very useful light especially for sewing. It's the latest LED technology but it still feels like it belongs on my wife's decades-old sewing machine thanks to its simple styling. It has a very easy to operate switch and the flexible neck allows for the light to be positioned perfectly. The cable is long enough to reach a wall plug from a desk, the magnet is strong and the light is nice and bright. This product has far more applications than just sewing though. It makes a perfect light for illuminating the inside of a PC when replacing parts or for working under a car or for shedding some light behind an entertainment center so you can see what's going on when running wires. FAJ was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could test this light out and provide an invormed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than BSG., December 21, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
It's been a while since I've read Leviathan Wakes, but as far as I remember, this show is a fantastic treatment of the novel. I really hope this series finds it's way to six or seven seasons to tell the whole story of the books. The production quality is better than I expected and couldn't imagine it being better without Game of Throne's budget. The one technical aspect that drives me nuts is that despite trying really hard to do gravity and weightlessness right, they end up forgetting about it more often than not. To be fair though, this would be nearly impossible to do correctly under any budget. Unlike the books, it feels like Avasarala is treated as the third main character after Holden and Miller, which is fine by me, since Shohreh Aghdashloo is perfectly cast to play her. Can't wait for more.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Nekteck Quick Charge charger is the perfect replacement or additional charger, December 21, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Once you have a phone that supports Quick Charge 2.0 (like my Galaxy S6), you will never want to use an old usb charger again. The problem is, you only get one with your phone, and you probably have a bunch of old chargers throughout your house or your original charger breaks from wear and tear in the first six months. The Nekteck Quick Charge charger is the perfect replacement or additional charger. It seems to work just as well as the original that came with my Samsung and my phone reports that it is using fast charging.

The quality is great and the convenience of Quick Charge 2.0 is unbeatable! Nekteck was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this charger out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for actually using your phone while it charges!, December 21, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is perfect for the living room. At the end of the day when you sit down to veg out and watch some TV, it's nice to have a cable that can reach your favorite spot on the couch while leaving some slack to actually use your phone while it charges. Standard cables all seem to give just enough distance to get to the table where you have to leave your phone to charge.

This is also a high quality USB cable, it's thick enough that it won't be chewed apart by a cat and the connectors are slim, but robust so they won't fall apart but will fit into, for example, cell phone cases that might restrict bulkier plugs. I was able to test with my Galaxy S6 charger and confirmed that it has no issues with Fast Charging (and presumably Qualcom's QuickCharge 2.0).

One other nice feature is the way the cable is packaged: it's coiled in a loose ring instead of folded in such a way that leaves a dozen kinks to be worked out over the months after being unpacked. This is a great touch by iXCC.

I received a discount so that I could try out this product and leave an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Forget the drip, get a large French press like this one!, December 16, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The SterlingPro French Coffee Press is amazing! I was using the standard drip-type coffee maker for years, but I kept thinking that I didn't like the coffee it made. I tried different coffee brands, flavors, grinding beans up myself, etc. and what I realized is that it was brewing at a temperature that was simply too high. I decided to give this French press a try, and now I will never go back. The same old store brand coffee I always buy tastes gourmet when it is prepared through a French press! This particular model is nice because it has a large capacity, so it's big enough for a few cups (great for more than one coffee drinker). The chrome trim is stylish but simple, which means it's easy to clean and not prone to breaking. The handle is sturdy and easy to use. Also, it comes with several replacement filters which will last for a long time (I've used it for a few weeks now, and the original one shows no signs of quitting). Speaking of the filter, I have not had any issues with grains getting into my cup, it's at least as good as the other models I've tried at other people's houses. SterlingPro was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could test this press out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for crafts, projects, and... tons of other stuff!, December 15, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This light is incredible! It's perfect for so many applications. I picked it up for a few things: 1: a sewing light for my wife. 2: lighting electronics projects in my basement. 3: working around the car in the garage. Because it can be used with any USB power source, it will work perfectly in any setting. I have a portable battery which can power it in the garage and an old cell phone wall plug which can power it in the house. The flexible neck is quite long and rigid for aiming perfectly. The clip is strong and can reach around fairly large objects. The controls are a little unusual, but once you get used to them, they allow you to totally customize the brightness and quality of the light that is put out. You will find tons of uses for this light! S-smart was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this light out and leave an informed review.

4.0 out of 5 stars This is a fine case for the Galaxy S6, December 14, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a fine case for the Galaxy S6. It offers great protection while keeping the overall profile of the phone slim. While I like the texture of the back, it seems unnecessary and probably adds a little unneeded thickness to the case. This does add some additional protection though, so if this is OK with you, then this is a great case. EMPIRE was kind enough to offer me a discount on this case so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.

This is a good selfie stick for large phones or for people who are especially worried about protecting their phone while they raise it up over their heads. It has a right along the side which helps hold it in place. I am not a huge fan of this style, though. I prefer the spring-loaded, headphone jack kind. This one is not as compact and getting it set up is more complicated. I received this unit at a discount so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.

Galaxy S6 Case, Spigen® [Thin Fit] Exact-Fit [Smooth Black] Premium Matte Finish Hard Case for Galaxy S6 (2015) - Smooth Black (SGP11308) by Spigen, Inc.
5.0 out of 5 stars Maybe the best case! Great feel, great protection., December 9, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I've reviewed over a dozen cases for the Galaxy S6, but the Spigen Thin Fit might be my favorite so far. It offers the perfect blend of a slim profile and decent protection for the phone. Where this case excels over other similar slim fit cases is that it protects the camera very well and it protects nearly the whole rim of the phone. The lip extends noticeably beyond the plane of the screen and the corners wrap around on all four corners. Also, the material is substantial enough to take a few licks while still having a soft touch and being very slim. The simple black color is no frills, but you can never go wrong with a black case. There was enough room to fit a small metal plate in between this case and my phone so that I could use my magnetic car mount, and this case works great with wireless charging.

Finally, you gotta love Spigen for etching "Auto Focus" into the plastic under the camera area. This is a throw back to the days when, despite every camera phone ever having auto focus, some manufacturers still felt it was so important to draw attention to this feature that they'd print it on the phone itself. Spigen cheekily does this on some of its cases, and it makes me smile. Spigen was also kind enough to provide me with a discount on this case so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.

Works great on my old laptop which I've kept alive through various upgrades. I've got an SSD and Windows 10 on it, but it was struggling with its old 2.4gH A/B/G internal wifi card. This helps me breath new life into the old thing. Now it keeps up with the rest of my network and lets me broadcast N-Only wifi from my router. I let Windows install the drivers and installation was no issue at all. The unit itself is very compact, so you can plug it in and forget about it without risking it breaking off even if you put it in a bag frequently.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sleek and high quality., December 9, 2015
The GMYLE 4000mAh Dual Port Alloy Battery feels very high quality. This is a super-sleek battery that is just about the same size as your phone and is made of the same material as some high-end phones, so it feels very natural tucked into a pocket. I even think it feels fine in the same pocket as your phone, which is nice because you can charge it up while you're walking around (if you do this, be aware of 2 things: 1: you will want to make sure your phone is protected from the metal case of the battery. 2: it may get warm in your pocket). Two ports and 4000 mAh is a good combo for topping off your phone and a friend's phone at the same time, but if your phone's totally dead, you will probably not want to share. this is enough to fully charge my Galaxy S6, but not too much more beyond that. It features power indicators that are very easy to understand and a power switch. Another great use I've found for this battery pack is powering small LED USB lights. Since LEDs use so little power, I'm not sure how long this battery would work, but it seems like it would be a very long time. GMYLE was kind enough to provide a discount on this item so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars You want Quick Charge 2.0 in your car!, December 8, 2015
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
If your phone supports Qualcom Quick Charge 2.0, then this is the car charger you need. Suddenly, I've stopped working about charging my phone before I go out because I know that in the time it takes me to get pretty much anywhere, I can get my phone charged with enough juice to last hours on the way there. That's a huge upgrade to my routine because now I don't have to leave my phone out of reach at home before I head out.

On my Galaxy S6, I've confirmed that both USB ports deliver "Fast Charging" which is what you want. You will not want to go back to a standard rate charger after you get used to QC2.0.

The unit itself is surprisingly compact and emits a not-too-bright light to indicate it's connected to power. A micro USB cable is included too, which is a nice touch.

However, if you phone doesn't support QC2.0 or you don't care about it, this is perfect!
