5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely the smallest Qi charger I've ever seen!, February 29, 2016
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Let me start by saying that I'm somewhat obsessed with Qi chargers. I've got a few of them at home and it still feels like magic to be able to just lay your device on these little pucks and have them charge. Of the variety that I've tried, The Yootech Qi Wireless Charging Pad is by far the smallest version I've ever seen! It's a simple device, but that's the way these things should be. You plug it in and use it when you need it. It doesn't beep or blink at you, but the soft LED light does a great job of informing you what's happening: it's either green when it's actively charging your device, or blue when your device is fully charged. Perfect. A micro-USB charging cable is conveniently included, but not a wall charger. Yootech does recommend using an A/C wall charger for best results with this unit, however.

Because if its size, this unit would be ideal for incorporating into a DIY project to upgrade your nightstand or end table with a Qi charging area. I'm considering doing just that with mine. It would also be a good one to incorporate into a car holster, since you don't need much extra room to fit this into an existing phone mount. Its size is also potentially a problem too, though: it makes it harder to actually operate your phone while it's on the charger (it rocks off too easily). However, the rubber pads do help the phone stay put without actually sticking to the pad.

Yootech was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try out this wireless Qi charger and provide an informed review.

LightAccents Battery Operated Lighted Magnifier Desk Lamp by Lightaccents
5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for hobbyists!, February 29, 2016
This is a fantastic light for any hobbyist who ever needs to do meticulous work on small or detailed objects. Personally, I've found it very helpful for working on my quadcopter. It's saved me from having to replace a bunch of the rotor gears when I crashed into some mud. I could just look carefully and see when gears that needed to be cleaned out and use a needle to clean them manually. I doubt I would have had the patience for it if I didn't have this light to help with the job. The best part about this light in particular is that it can optionally be used on battery power or using the included A/C adapter. This makes it very simple to use the light in remote areas like a garage or take it outside, but at the same time, you're not stuck wasting batteries if you just need it set up at a desk. The ring of LEDs are plenty bright, and ensure that whatever you use the light for, it will be illuminated from all sides. The base is weighted very nicely too, making it easy to move the light without needing an extra hand to hold down the base. The magnification level seems just about right for any project I can think of. Overall, this product performs better than I expected and I highly recommend it! Lightaccents was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this light out and provide an informed review.

GF Pro G-Flyer Party Toy Amazing Flying Led Light Arrow Rocket Helicopter Elastic Powered Fun Gift by GF Pro
4.0 out of 5 stars A modern take on an old sky toy!, February 24, 2016
These are a lot of fun if you have a large, open area to use them at night. They're a new take on an old toy: I remember using the non-LED version of these when I was a kid. Times have changed now, and you can tack LED lights to just about anything. This is a good use of this new ability! It's much more fun to use these at night than I remember it was to use the standard ones during the day. It takes very little practice to get good at shooting these way up into the air. If you're good, you get 2 in the air at once all by yourself. It's much better to have a small team of kids shooting them off all at once, which is why it's nice that these are available in multi-packs and are inexpensive enough to stock up and get a bunch for a big party of slinging LEDs into the air! I had a few quality issues in the ones I received though, some of the propellers were creased in a way that made them less air-worthy than others. Also, some of the LEDs were dimmer than the others, which was a bummer. The ones that worked as designed, however were great. The rubber bands took all the stretching I dared to give them, so I was able to launch them REALLY high!. Texas tr llc was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try these out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing toolbox for mounting your action camera!, February 23, 2016
I can say with confidence that with this kit, I can strap my action camera to ANYTHING! It's so much fun! Just to break down a few ways that this kit can be used which I've found particularly useful:
1. There are curved and flat adhesive pads that are good for semi-permanent mount placements. I stuck one of these to my dashboard, and it's stuck there GOOD! (Just be careful, they don't come off easily!).
2. The head mount is perfect for my main purpose: taking a video of my drone as I fly it. I can get right up next to it and get some really cool shots of it in flight. Also, I used this to strap my camera to my 2 year-old's head and he had a great time running around with it on. Reviewing the video of "life from his perspective" was hilarious and sweet.
3. The floating mount is perfect for fun in the pool. It makes having the camera in the pool easy and fun instead of an expensive liability. It makes the camera very easy to shoot with too!
4. The chest strap is also good for shooting my drone while I fly it indoors. It results in a little more stability than the head cam if you're moving around a lot.
5. All the other little adapters are perfect for making sure you can get your camera mounted at exactly the right angle no matter what configuration you need.
6. The bag is actually something I've used a ton! There are so many little parts to keep together and this does the trick nicely without having a bulky case for everything.

I'm actually not using this kit with a GoPro, but a GeekPro, which is a less-expensive clone. The only thing that doesn't work for me is the actual case for the GoPro. It's a slightly different size.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Kid-proof your Kindle!... or, in my case, adult-proof it, February 19, 2016
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Let me start by saying: I love this case! I got it to protect the Kindle that I'm letting my two year-old play with when we travel. After a recent vacation which involved several airplains, long car rides and lots of melt downs, I can say with confidence that I am very satisfied with the durability offered by this case. I combined it with a Skinomi screen protector. I feel like I could drop it out a second story window and no harm would come to the Kindle Fire tablet! In fact, it was me who put the case to the test when I accidentally swung the thing into a metal cabinet and it just kind of bounced off like a Nerf ball.

Obviously, it adds some bulk to the tablet, but it actually makes it very easy for my two year-old to hold and operate. The handle is super easy to hang onto and conveniently folds allowing the tablet to be set on a surface for hands-free viewing. Fitting the tablet into the case took a little bit of muscle, but once it was in there, I was not worried about it coming out accidentally. The material is flexible, but not tacky or spongy. Once installed, all of the ports are easily accessible and the speakers, cameras and sensors function well despite being recessed within the case.

The Amazon Fire 7 tablet is an inexpensive tablet, and protecting it with a case like this makes it the perfect solution for kids. I'm very happy with it and can't wait for my son to learn how to compute using this setup. TNP Products was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this case out and provide an informed review.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good case, except for the lack of camera protection., February 18, 2016
This a good case. I like that it has a clear back so the beautiful glass of the Galaxy S6 can shine through and I also like that it's very slim, not adding much bulk to the slim phone. The black rim looks nice too. It feels very nice in hand with the soft, grippy plastic around the edges and the smooth plastic on the back. It also works well with my tempered glass screen protector and wireless charger. I also have a metal plate that fits nicely in the back for my magnetic car mount, and that works well too, except it looks kind of funny through the clear back panel. However, what holds it back is that there's very little protection to the camera bump. It sticks out slightly further than the plastic back of the case. This is problematic when placing the phone on flat surfaces face up. You can hear and feel little sand particles rolling around under your camera lens, which does damage slowly over time. Another thing I'm not quite happy with are the flaps over the ports on the bottom. I prefer open ports and find that these just get in the way. They are nice if your phone tends to collect a lot of dust or lint. Otherwise, this case is great, the cut outs are well placed and the buttons work well with the actual buttons of the phone. Bienna was kind enough to provide me with a discount on this device so that I could try it out and leave an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good way to protect your expensive Galaxy S6!, February 10, 2016
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. This screen protector is also very easy to install. Just line it up and press it on from the middle. I can also say that, after trying a variety of cases, this screen protector works with all of them, since it doesn't quite go to the edges of the actual glass of the phone. Siania was very smart to sell a two pack of these protectors, because occasionally something will happen and these screen protectors will break (better them than your expensive phone screen and digitizer!). Having a spare is a good idea. Siania 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 I got three and they all work great!, February 8, 2016
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I've been using these batteries for about a month now, and so far, they've been great! They last approximately as long as the original battery that came with my UDI U818A (so don't plan on them being magically longer-lasting with a slight increase in the mAh on the label). Now I can fly for as long as my attention span lasts! I highly recommend getting a multi-charger so that you don't have to constantly be switching them out on the outlet, and also I used a sharpie to number mine, so that I can tell them apart.

5.0 out of 5 stars How do you make a simple Micro USB cable into a premium experience? Ask Anker!, February 8, 2016
You would not think it was possible to make a micro USB cable that was better than any other micro USB cable, but leave it to Anker, a brand that has really earned my trust and loyalty over the years to build a better one than its competitors. First and foremost: this is a heavy duty, quality cable. You can tell by how tight the fit is when you first plug it in and how sturdy the connection is. Also, the gauge is noticeably thicker than other braided micro USB cables that I have tried. Beyond this however, there is so much attention to detail in this product: the style is fun, the materials are quality, and even the packaging feels premium. One detail that really surprised an impressed me is that the 3 ft. cable I got came with A CASE! At first I thought this was silly, but then when I put it in my car and could fold up the unused length into this little fabric case with a magnetic closing mechanism, I really grew to appreciate it! It's a great example of why I love many of Anker's products. Anker was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could review this micro USB cable and provide an informed review.

Ozeri 4x3sport Pocket 3D Pedometer and Activity Tracker with Tri-Axis Technology & 30 Day Memory by Ozeri
5.0 out of 5 stars A simple, functional, versatile unit!, February 4, 2016
This is device that does one thing very well: it tracks your steps! I compared this to the built in pedometer of my Galaxy S6, and found it to be more accurate than my phone. So if you're serious about tracking your steps, you might want to use one of these, which you can then input the data into a fitness app on your phone. The unit itself is very slim and fits in an included belt clip which can be left at home if you have a pocket of any size. I got the grey one and it's very unobtrusive and is hardly noticeable when by me or by anyone who looks at me. Additionally, there is a lanyard which can be used if you want to keep this around your neck. There's definitely an option for everyone and every attire. It has a very nice, easy to read display and three buttons (Mode, set and reset) to navigate the various options. The menu is easily navigated and buttons make sense. You can toggle between the modes which show steps for the day, a running total, etc. You get a clock/timer/calendar setting so that it can accurately track steps per day and gives information like averages and history. The display will automatically turn off after a time to conserve battery, but will come back to life when you interact with the unit again. I've worn the device for a few days and the battery appears to be holding up, but I would expect it to last for a long, long time. I will update this review if there are any issues. Ozeri was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could test this pedometer out and leave an informed review.
