4.0 out of 5 stars This is a very good case. It does a few things very well, October 13, 2016
This is a very good case. It does a few things very well: 1: it properly protects the camera bump with nubs on the corners of the case to raise it off a table and keep the camera from scratching on dirt. 2: it is extremely slim! it protects your phone without adding bulk. It is also very smooth and feels nice in the hand. 3: the clear back does not "stick" to the back of the phone, so there are no bubbly looking spots on the back, the back panel looks great in this case.

My only complaints are: the edge is kind of sharp on the screen side and the material on the side is kind of cheap and plastic-y. Also the buttons are a little hard to push. That being said I'm still using this case as my daily driver.

5.0 out of 5 stars It sounds crazy, but having a phone mount on your bike will change your life!, September 27, 2016
Whether you're using Pokemon Go, a fitness tracking app, or playing some music, this is a very functional bike mount. I found this mount to be very ergonomic for using my phone while riding around. It brings the phone close enough to clearly read while riding and is fairly easy to operate. I had no trouble reaching it with headphones, but it works even better with a bluetooth headset. Installation was incredibly easy and I didn't need any tools to get it just how I wanted it. I have tried several bike mounts for my phone, and this one has some real advantages. While it does not offer as much protection as the case-type mounts, it's far easier to actually operate your phone without having to use it through a clear plastic sheet. This is especially true if you use a fingerprint for security as I do on my Galaxy S6. The main clamp is not as sturdy as some others, but it the elastic that stretches around the corners does a great job of keeping everything where it should be. If you are doing serious mountain biking though, you might want something a bit more rugged. The elastic corners did not affect the use of my phone at all, which is good.

ISSIKA was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this bike mount out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars The future is now: you want wireless chargers!, September 27, 2016
You can never have enough of these wireless chargers. Anyplace that you use your phone and have a spare outlet, why not just throw a wireless charger down, so you can set your phone on it in the few minutes a day you're not actually using it :) Aside from the triangular shape of this charger, it is very similar to other ones I have tried. The shape gives it some pretty good stability, but personally, I prefer the square ones best since they allow for the phone to be operated without the possibility of the device flipping up because it's on a weird edge. Other than that, this is a great wireless charger. It's very thin, which is always a good thing especially if you want to mount this somewhere inconspicuous. Another plus is that it includes a relatively long USB cable (4 feet, I think).

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have for your GoPro knock-off!, September 26, 2016
I have a pile of accessories for my Geek Pro action camera, but for all the different way they enable me to use it, the terrible battery life was still the biggest limitation I had. Now, I have three batteries and a way to charge them without the camera being out of commission! This makes the Homkm extra batteries and charger some of the most important accessories that I own.

The whole set is very compact and fits easily in my action camera bag with the rest of the accessories I like to travel with. It's kind of strange that it comes with mini-USB (not that it really matters much), but it conveniently has a micro-USB port on the other side, so even if you don't have a mini-USB handy, you can still use this charger on the go. Once charging there are individual indicator lights so you can tell which batteries are still charging and which are done. The batteries themselves are nearly indistinguishable from the original battery that came with my Geek Pro camera (complete with plastic pull-tab), which is good because it means the fit is perfect and I don't have to worry about which battery is in there.

If you've got a Geek Pro, SJCam or other compatible action camera, I definitely recommend this battery and charger set. Homkm was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that i could try this battery and charger out and leave in informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing item! Works like a charm., September 19, 2016
This thing is awesome for grinding up those herbs! The magnetic top is super convenient, the size is perfect for my uses. There is a kief catcher if you need one for your purposes. The whole thing comes in a nice black cloth bag and it includes a couple of tools which are nice to have: a brush and a scraper. The actual grinding is super easy. You will wonder if it's even working, but it is! In addition to the top, where you put herbs in, there is a screw-oipen main compartment and another screw-open bottom area for the keif. The simple black styling with the Mortar&Pestle branding is very nice looking.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love Quick Charge 2.0!, September 15, 2016
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. Being able to plug your phone in for 15 minutes to get a couple hours of use changes the way you use your smartphone, especailly when you're on the go. 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 JDB Quick Charge 2.0 charger is the perfect replacement or additional charger. It seems to work just as well as the original that came with my Galaxy S6 and my phone reports that it is using fast charging. It is nice that they provide a 6' USB cable too, since a lot of chargers come with a shorter one. The quality is great and the convenience of Quick Charge 2.0 is amazing!

4.0 out of 5 stars Looks amazing, doesn't work with wireless chargers., September 12, 2016
I've tried dozens of cases for my Galaxy S6, and this is the very first from Superfly. All things considered, this a pretty good case. The look of it is absolutely beautiful. It doesn't turn your sleek smartphone into a gigantic beast like a lot of different cases do. There are a few shortcomings that prevent this case from being my favorite: First of all: the camera bump protection is not very good. It appears to bring the camera lens just about flush with the back of the phone, which is bad, because now, just placing the phone on a flat surface becomes somewhat risky since sand and dirt are now scratching directly against the lens. Second: if you are a fan of wireless charging, this case will not work with wireless charging. This makes me nervous because it could also interfere with NFC and Samsung Pay.

Superfly was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could test this case out and provide an informed review.

Maybe this works well on the other LG variants, but for the AT&T Phoenix 2, it fails to accommodate the curved edges of the screen, so it's pretty much useless. I do not recommend this for the AT&T variety of this LG phone. The protector itself is nice enough though, it has a nice cureve to it and, if it fit correctly, would be way better than plastic.

With more and more Bluetooth gizmos laying arounda t work and at home, I thought it was silly that I couldn't use them with my PCs which I have in both places and they are really the media servers for all of my content that I own. Enter the Towelette Bluetooth Dongle! It set up very easily on my Windows 10 laptop and desktop, and now I can pair my Bluetooth headphones directly to my PC. I have been able to successfully use a couple different headsets that I have with my PC as well as a Bluetooth mouse/keyboard combo that I had. When I notice stuttering, usually it settles down shortly after I connect a device. The unit itself is very compact, so I don't mind leaving it plugged into my computers full time, and it's sturdy enough to leave in the USB port even when packing my laptop in a bag. Audio quality seems to be as good as any Bluetooth connection allows.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tons of fun, but don't jump onto it if you're a full grown adult., September 7, 2016
This unicorn pool float was an amazingly fun time while it lasted. I had three days of great fun on it before it met an untimely demise. The style is flamboyant, colorful and luxurious while being ridiculously large and over the top. The float is large enough to seat a couple of adults or several children. The neck has some hard plastic handles which are nice for transport and for riding. One note: this is not something you will be able to inflate by mouth unless you have hours of time to spend hyperventilating into it. I highly recommend a battery or plug in pump. The attachments will be perfect for the large and medium sized inflation valves this inflatable unicorn uses.

I had to deduct one point for a lack of durability. I jumped on it from the side of the pool and a leg burst off. I would have deducted more, but in defense of this unicorn float, I was drinking during use and that is explicitly against the instructions on the side.

Super Magic Market was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this inflatable unicorn out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for a gift or to try out VR yourself!, September 6, 2016
It's incredible what a little cardboard and a couple lenses can do! Google's Cardboard app is a great place to start with this set and everything works great. I tested with my Galaxy S6 and one thing I would advise is to turn off these backlight on the S6 for a better experience. This also users the Cardboard 2.0 format, so it's a little nicer than a lot of the competition. The magnetic slider button works perfectly for selecting things, even though I have no idea how it works. It just does.Just search for "cardboard" in the Google Play Store, and you'll find all kinds of great content to use with this headset.

This makes a really good gift. The package seems impossibly small, so nobody will guess what it is. But for any kid with a phone or an adult who likes novelty items, this brings a lot of fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing little device! Everyone should have one!, August 31, 2016
I have tried a few of these Bluetooth OBD2 adapters, and they are fantastic little devices. When paired with the Torque app from the Google Play Store, you can do all the things that used to require a very expensive device and MORE! It's simple to clear the check engine light, see diagnostic information about your vehicle and track your driving using various apps. Incredibly, this device costs less than some shops will charge just to plug their dedicated device into your car for diagnostics. Compared to previous models I've tried, this one by AstroAI is much slimmer and less obtrusive if you are looking for something that you can leave in all the time. The simple black design practically disappears when it's plugged in.

The only issue I had with this device was that the initial pairing took a long time and several tries. I ended up having to plug the device in while my car was off, start the app, then start my car, but I'm not sure the exact order before it actually connected. Fortunately, subsequent attempts have been much easier and quicker.

AstroAI was kind enough to provide me with a sample of this device so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great idea, but not practical., August 23, 2016
Corn on the cob is a summer staple for sure, but for me an my family, gnawing the kernels off the cob is not how we roll. We prefer cutting the corn from the cob with a knife first. Enter the Drhob Corn Threshing tool. This product looks like a perfect match for my family and it should make the whole ordeal of eating corn on the cob better and easier. However, in practice, this product did not live up to our expectations. First, it is hard to use. It is not easy to press down on and collect the kernels. Second, it's more messy than using a knife and leaves you with a difficult dish to clean after each use. Third, it doesn't get as close to the cob as a knife. So, all told, the best use for this item is as a novelty gift, and it will get some laughs and people will think it's great, but don't expect them to actually use it in everyday life. Dhrob was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this corn thresher out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great case with superb protection., August 8, 2016
Is the case Black? Yes, I would say it’s a deep oblivion black.
This case is modular. It has two pieces, a hard plastic back that snaps on the medium rubber mold that goes around the phone. I am using this case on the LG Phoenix 2. I enjoy the smooth feel of the hard backed case, it feels rugged and my paranoia from dropping my phone has go away while using this case. The cut outs in the case are all in the right places. I can easily access the buttons. The Hard plastic feels like ABS plastic. If I wanted to I could snap the plastic, but why would I do that? The hard back is tough enough to handle the pocket drop. The drop test. Yes, I dropped my phone with this case on. 16cm inch drop on hardwood floors no problem. 91 cm drop test, aka the pocket drop on to hardwood. No problem this case handled that drop like a champ. After the drop test no signs of cracking on the glass. The rubber molding that goes around the phone under the hard back is great. It does not feel super soft and that’s what I wanted. It’s not a soft jelly mold. It’s a medium poly type rubber.

Dimensions:
1cm thick.
15cm long
7.8cm wide.

Overall rating of the case is five stars it’s a great choice for a decent modern case on a budget.
