5.0 out of 5 stars Future Proof your Ride!, May 31, 2016
USB C Card Charger from Pleson is perfect for people who have one of Google's new Nexus phones (the 5x or the 6p) or any of the other current-gen devices that use the new USB type C connecter. It is also very useful for people who don't yet have a USB type C device, because 1) the next device you buy probably will and 2) it still has two standard USB charging ports, so you have all of that convenience with a little future-proofing built right in. Even if you only have standard USB devices, having two charging ports solves the problem my wife and I have all the time: we've been out all day, and now we both want to charge our phones on the ride home. The standard USB ports are 2.4 watts, which is very good for modern phones. Many similar models only offer 2.1 and 1.0 ports, so you should have no trouble charging your phone while actually using it for navigation or in-car entertainment. This provides enough juice to power tablets as well. The only thing that would make this car charger even better would be if it supported Qualcomm Fast Charging 2.0 or, even better, 3.0. From a design perspective, compared to similar, standard USB car chargers, the Pleson is quite compact even with the extra functionality, and you just can't go wrong with a simple black design.

Pleson was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this car charger out and provide and informed review.

Galaxy S6 Case, YVBOX Ultra Slim Crystal Clear Skin Soft TPU Back Bumper Silicone Protective Cover Phone Case for Samsung Galaxy S6 G920 by PPPlaker
4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good with the exception of the lack of camera protection., May 29, 2016
The YVBOX Ultra Slim Chrystal Clear case is a pretty good one. 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. 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 this 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. Otherwise, the fit is good. The cut outs are well placed and the buttons work well with the actual buttons of the phone. PPPlaker was kind enough to provide me with a discount on this device so that I could try it out and leave an informed review.

Volador Neoprene Insulated Lunch Bag Waterproof Personalized Insulated Lunch Bags Picnic Lunch Food Handbag by Volador
5.0 out of 5 stars The PERFECT lunch bag!, May 26, 2016
I love this lunch bag so much that I got another one for my wife, and she loves it even more! The Volador Neoprene Insulated Lunch Bag is a great replacement for an old fashioned lunch box, cooler or insulated tote. The first thing I loved about it was the size: you can fit almost anything in there! However, if you don't use all the space, it can be folded over and compacted into a shape that is more convenient to stow. No more filling a backpack with a bulky lunch that is really just empty space! This is the best thing about the bag. Another feature is that you can orient it however works best for you. If you have a tall skinny thing, you can stand it up inside and keep it upright but, more importantly, if you have a broad, short thing, you can likely fit it right-side up so that it's laying flat while you're carrying it instead of forcing you to turn it on its side. This means less spills during transport and less mess when it's time to clean it out. Additionally, the material is great for keeping cold things cold until lunchtime. It makes perfect sense to use neoprene since it's water resistant and insulates great! It has a zip top which is hidden, so it looks like a single piece and it looks great! Finally, the printed design is very nice and clean looking, while hiding any stains you may acquire through normal use.

Volador was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this insulated lunch bag out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fine wireless charger. Looks cool. Works great!, May 16, 2016
This charger is fantastic! It's even better than the comparable official Samsung wireless charging puck. I use it all the time with my Galaxy S6. It's thinner than the official Samsung wireless by about fifty percent. Additionally, it's far easier to operate your phone while it's on this charger than when using the official Samsung charger because it's flat, so there's no wobbling or rocking when you press the corners of your touchscreen. The indicator light is subtle and effective. It won't bug you with any noises and the light is not so bright that you need to cover it up with anything. I have tried it with a variety of cases and it does as well as any other wireless charger. It even works when I have a metal plate in my case for my magnetic car mount (you just have to keep it down at the bottom). I highly recommend getting a wireless charger like this Siania one if you have a compatible phone, it will make you feel like you live in the future and, more practically, save your charging port from unnecessary wear and tear.

Siania 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 The future is NOW! Get in the VR game on the cheap!, May 16, 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 uses the Cardboard 2.0 format, so it's a little nicer than a lot of the competition. The black cardboard adds a premium feel to the standard cardboard model and makes it feel a little more at home in your tech collection. The magnetic slider button works perfectly for selecting things, even though I have no idea how it works. It just does. What really sets the MINKINAK set apart from the competition is the inclusion of the elastic strap that holds the set to your eyes for a hands free viewing experience. That's something that most Cardboard kits do not include. This makes it great for VR gaming.

This makes a really good gift. It's a very inconspicuously sized item, but for any kid with a phone or an adult who likes novelty items, this brings a lot of fun. The instructions are fairly clear and putting this unit together was a fairly easy process.

MINKINAK was kind enough to provide me with a discount on this Google Cardboard kit in so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for baby clothes, blankets and stuffed animals!, May 13, 2016
As my son grows up and we fill every nook and cranny of our house with clothes he's outgrown, blankets, stuffed animals, etc. I bought this thinking it would be a good way to save some space (and keep things safely stored). I have to admit, I was not convinced that this item would very well when I bought it. I was wrong. Very, very wrong. The first thing that struck me was how BIG the bags were. You can pack a lot of clothing into one of them, and you get TEN!! Another thing I couldn't believe was how well the pump worked. I figured that I would have to resort to using the shop vac, but the little hand pump worked so well that I didn't even bother. The bags are very strong as well, so you can seal them up tight and they should be good to go for years without any kind of maintenance. Once compacted, they also are conveniently flat for stacking or sliding into tight areas like under beds or in crawl spaces. All in all, this 10 pack is a fantastic solution for anyone with lots of clothing or other cloth items that they want to save safely. Check out the pictures to get a better idea of how I used them.

West Leathers Men's Leather Belt 100% Genuine Leather Belts Size 42 Black West Leathers
4.0 out of 5 stars A nice belt, but be careful with the sizing, they run a little small., May 11, 2016
This is a very nice looking belt with a unique buckle system that is pretty cool. There's a reversible rotating metal holder in the buckle itself that can either have metal facing out or a brown piece that matches the color of the belt. It's made from a thick, strong leather that is such a dark brown that it almost looks black. It definitely smells like genuine leather, which is awesome. The buckle is not too big, and looks really nice. The only negatives I have are that the sizing runs a little small and the leather loop that holds the end of the belt is not attached in any way and can potentially slide off and get lost. Regarding the sizing, I ordered a size 36 which usually is slightly too big for me, but for this belt, it barely fit on the biggest setting.

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

5.0 out of 5 stars A great item that could save your life!, May 9, 2016
This is a dead-simple device that, in the right circumstances, might just save your life. Operation is simple: just stick it anywhere you want to test and push the button. If it's near a live current, you will hear a beeping sound and see the lights pulse through the yellow and into the red zone, indicating a potentially dangerous current. You can test it by actually placing it near a live wire, but also simply rubbing the end on some clothing will create enough of a static charge to trigger the sensor (which is actually pretty cool). My son had fun just rubbing this on stuff and getting a response. Also convenient is the LED light that is alongside the sensor. just push the other button and a light will activate for managing the unit in small, dark spaces. Finally, a small, but convenient feature is the inclusion of a clip for easily organizing and pocketing the device or clipping it to a tool belt.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great kit, but bring your own heat., May 9, 2016
My Galaxy S6 has been run pretty hard in the last year or so. The battery has been exposed to some serious temperatures over the time. Between strange software issues where the phone heats up inexplicably and looses its charge over the course of an hour or two, or from taking long videos and slow motion shots, which also causes lots of heat to constantly using both the rapid charging and wireless Qi charging which can occasionally cause their own heat issues. Enter the BinTEK battery replacement kit for the Galaxy S6. Now I have the peace of mind that I can run my battery into the ground and then have everything I need to replace the factory battery with a new, ready-to go backup. The tools are great and the battery is a perfect fit for the phone. The one tool that you will need that is not included is a hair dryer. Since the Galaxy S6 uses glue to hold the back cover on, you will need to heat it up to soften the glue prior to prying off the back cover. The cynic in me thinks maybe just wait for your Galaxy S6 to overheat and use that heat to soften the glue. For instructions, I suggest checking out iFixit's instructional videos. They will show you the best method for getting the device pulled apart.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, except for the buttons., May 8, 2016
This case feels excellent in the hand. The metal rim feels cool like the edge of the Galaxy S6 itself. The smooth rounded corners feel even better than the S6 with no case.

The way the case attaches is very clever: just place the S6 face down in the metal rim and snap the back on. It's kind of like the backing used on the actual case of the S3. The camera is well protected by a raised rim that fits the actual camera hump precisely. The buttons and cutouts are placed correctly.

This brings me to the biggest problem with this case: the volume up and down buttons have a tendency to get stuck which can be anything from annoying to unusable. My other issue is I wish that the metal was silver instead of gold.

DADAOSHENG was kind enough to provide me with a discount so that I could try this case it and provide an informed review.

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome kite. Larger than i thought!, May 8, 2016
A very cool kite. The kite itself is larger than I imagined, so it looks great up in the sky. My only complaint is that i wish it went higher. The included string is not as long as it should be. Of course, this can be fixed relatively easily by getting another, longer kite string spool, but it would be better if there was no need. The kite Congress with a handy bag for storage and a spinner that keeps the steering from getting all twisted up when it's being wound. (I promptly lost this part, but it still stories like a charm).

The color and look of the kite up in the sky is phenomenal. The little tentacles make it very impressive and add a lot of motion to it.
