Cd Radio Player - cd radio player, cd player


Click here for more information
This is a very nice cd player for the price (I paid $24.99 from Amazon). I got it for my husband so he could listen to his CDs while he was working in the garage or outside or while he was doing his exercises. It works very well, the sound is rich and full for a little, inexpensive player and doesn't sound tinny at all. It is easy to use and is not big and bulky - very portable. Since it was so inexpensive, it doesn't even matter if he manages to scratch it up or drop a tool on it or something.



Also, it is a nice shape - not like those strangely shaped round cd players that look like bug's heads and the speakers look like bug's eyes!



As an added benefit, it has a port to plug in your MP3 player so you can listen to music or audio books you have on your MP3 player as well.



Also, it comes with a remote control which I didn't see mentioned in the description at Amazon. All in all, a nice cd player at a very nice price! It was so nice, I ordered one for myself as well! GPX Portable CD Player with AM/FM Radio, Line in for MP3 Devices and Remote Control (Black)

We bought this for our daughter's 4th birthday. She LOVES it. She has her own radio, and uses it nightly to fall asleep to music. We've burned a variety of CD's for her, and she thinks she's sooooo cool picking out her own music and taking the radio with her to different rooms in the house to play music. The sound quality is acceptable - to be expected - we didn't buy this with audiophile interests in mind. It's inexpensive, VERY simple to use, and the battery life is good. Our daughter had the CD functions figured out after about three days with no instruction from us. The styling is pretty nice - kind of simple and clean. It doesn't look like some transformer-toy looking boom-box, and takes up very little counter space. Great for listening to CD's at low-volume levels (office environments). The tuner is OK.

I bought this to listen to audio books in bed, and for this purpose it is just right. I'm hard of hearing, so the quality must be a little better than reasonably good or I can't understand what is being said. The sound quality is perfectly adequate for a spoken word recording. I don't know how it is for music.



There are no frills for the CD player, which is another plus for my purpose. It's easy for me to turn off without having to turn on a light or even sit up. I can just reach over to press the play/stop button, which I can distinguish by touch, and turn off the power using the switch on the side (also easy to distinguish by touch).



It looks pretty decent on the headboard shelf too. I'm pleased to have found what I need for such a low price.

I ordered this player to use with my MP3 player while I am on my computer. I don't use headphones because I want to be able to hear other things happening around me. My only disappointment is the remote control. It only controls the CD functions - prog, repeat, play/pause, skip, and stop. Everything else has to be done on the unit itself. Overall, this is a great player for the money. I am very happy with this purchase.

The first unit I received was defective. If anyone has a problem with buying on line, Amazon.com makes the buying and return process easy and fool proof. I returned the unit with no cost to me for shipping and ordered a new GPX CD, AM/FM player/radio. This GPX unit works to my complete satisfaction.

This item has been ok. Easy enough to use. The CD player plays for awhile then starts to skip or gets hung up on me repeatedly regardless of which CD I am playing. This has been a hassle. I like the slim design.

First, I want to note that this is a super CD player for the price as far as sound quality and design(we put it in a kitchen with black and white kitchen with stainless steel accents). But there is one MAJOR problem if you don't plan to use batteries - the cord falls out of the back of the player very easily. If you want to scoot or move it even a tiny bit on a counter or table, the cord is going to fall out. Count on it. If you use batteries, you get around this problem but who wants to be limited to ONLY batteries? If you run out of batteries and are somewhere with electricity, it is nice to have a player that has a reliable cord. I rated everything high on this one except the ease of use because that cord issue is so annoying.



Also, the remote control is VERY tiny and could be easily lost. We keep ours in a nearby drawer.



Now for the PROS:



1. I haven't found a player that has the same sound quality for the price.



2. It looks very sleek and has a nice, clean look. It could fit in both modern and retro designed rooms. I can't quite picture it with country decor, though.



3. It is light and portable. But either have battery backup or put it somewhere you aren't likely to move it.



4. It can connect to other devices but we haven't tested this out yet so I can't give any feedback about that.



5. Nice features include the ability to skip tracks or keep a song repeating.



6. Equally solid radio station reception, whether AM or FM.



Final analysis? I am basically happy with this CD player and absolutely love the way it complements our kitchen decor. The CDs fit easily into the player. If you can put up with the small remote and annoying cord issue, this could be a best buy! - Cd Radio Player - Cd Player - Boombox - Gift Idea

Dual Screen - car dvd, 1080p


Click here for more information
9" screens are big enough for comfortable viewing and the picture quality is good and goes up bright enough for daylight use. Setup is pretty easy. I suggest buying some wireloom or small tie wraps to secure up the cables and route them AWAY from kids feet. The power cables are very light-duty and will likely break at the monitor connector if kicked in the wrong way. The system is simple to use for basic functionality. It plays many different disc formats including DVD+/-R. And it plays them well (no sputters even on kid-used discs). Disc loading is a bit clumsy (a side load slot would have been better) and useful buttons such as the DVD Menu one, are on the top of the unit when installed. It makes it impossible for a kid to find without knowing where it is beforehand. Easy to remove and store (good for hiding the monitors on short notice). Lastly, you may want to buy a longer video/audio cable between the two monitors. Mine was barely long enough to route the wire safely away from the feet.

Portable Speakers - iphone speakers, ipod speakers


Click here for more information
I had agonized over the ideal dock for my iPod Touch with the stipulations that it had to be a reasonable size (I've lost some interest in big component systems.), and it would need at least an FM radio. While I've wanted to try HD radio, my understanding of availability in my area was that it could be if-y. So, good FM access would be fine. It seems like a small thing, but I'm legally blind and don't drive, so casual access to something like a car radio is fairly rare for me. My first, and most familiar, choice was a product that I had some familiarity with - the VERS system, with newer models incorporating a highly visible FM tuner. I had eventually tired of shipping delays for this device and gone to Best Buy to find the Sony.



Not only did the Sony dock have better sound than the VERS that I once owned, it was smaller, stylish and has the best receiving FM tuner that I've ever found in a portable or non-portable device. I've tended to live in older homes with older wiring and cloth wrapped interference bleeding electrical systems. The reception on the Sony dock is unlike any that I've ever owned, even with the convenient telescoping antenna in the stowed position. And the sound is rich and vibrant - certainly comparable to the similar Bose device that sports no FM tuner at twice the price.



The controls at the top of the dock are easily accessed and perform all of the functions found on the remote. As I noted above, I'm legally blind, but depend just enough on the tiny amount of eyesight that I do have to make use of digital displays. This one, unfortunately, and while not a deal-breaker, is terrible. It could be larger, though it's not unreasonably small. The problem is that it's abysmally dim - of almost no use to me. If this was an adjustable - and it wouldn't have hurt if it was larger - the dock would have received 5 stars from me.



In all, the RDP-XF100iP dock is not just a fine dock that does what I'd expect a dock to do, but is a nicely put together package that represents Sony quality first represented for me in my first Trinitron to my latest HD television. Highly recommended. Sony RDP-XF100IP Portable iPod Docking Station

I have an Ipod touch 3rd generation 32mb. I have been looking at several docking stations and the cheap ones sounded like cheap ones and the expensive ones (Bose) sound awesome but are 4 to 5 times the cost ($399). The Sony came out just recently and it definitely sounds just as good as the Bose and is at least $150 less expensive. The bass is full and deep and the highs are crystal clear even at high volumes. Besides a cheaper price, another bonus this has over the Bose is the FM tuner, which the Bose lacks. It is portable and the battery can easily run 6-7 hours straight. Bottom line is if you are willing to spend a little more for the Sony over the cheaper ones, you will not be disappointed!

I compared this radio to the one from Bose that lists for $399 at Best Buy. I wanted a unit that had an internal rechargeable battery, remote, and the ability to have high volume without distortion. The Sony delivers on all three for $150 less. Plus, the Sony has a fm radio built in and the rechargeable battery can be replaced unlike the Bose.

I purchased the Sony RDP-XF100IP a couple of weeks ago and I really put it to the test !!!! I compared it along side of my Bose SoundDock Portable! I had read so many good things about the Sony RDP-XF100IP, and some even dared to compare it to the more costly Bose SoundDock Portable.



So how does the Sony RDP-XF100IP sound ? It sounds really good and for the money and the size of the unit it sounds great! When I was in "Best Buy" I listened to the Logitech s715i and I compared it to the Sony RDP-XF100IP, the Sony won hands down, the Logitech s715i sounded a little tiny and weak compared it to the Sony RDP-XF100IP !



But still I can say that the Logitech s715i sounds better than any portable speaker it's size that I have ever heard ! As far as the Logitech s715i goes I would never buy that unit because when it is ran by battery power it cuts the bass in half and it also cuts the volume down, to me that is a deal breaker,but if the Logitech s715i gave me a choice to turn off the battery saver mode, I would buy it in a heartbeat !



I hate the fact that when you run some units by battery they automatically go into battery saver mode and then they cut the bass and volume way down "Harman Kardon's Go + Play" does the same thing and I hate it !



I used my mp3 player, playing the same songs, when I compared the Sony RDP-XF100IP sound to the Bose, I noticed at first that the Sony,s mid-range sounded a little colored, you might say a little dark or bass heavy, while the Bose sounded perfect. After I adjusted my mp3 player and removed some of the bass, the Sony sounded almost as good as the Bose, and with some songs just as good if not better. But I must say over all I think the Bose sounded just a little bit better !



But for half the price I think Sony did a really good job!

I also compared the over all volume of each speaker !

This is where Bose beats the Sony hands down !!!!



When I was indoors the Sony played reasonably loud but when I went outdoors around a lot of traffic, and playing the Sony at "Full Volume", the Sony got drowned out!!!



For some reason the Sony can't play really loud !

On the other hand the Bose can scream,I have taken my Bose around heavy traffic many times with no problem what so ever!

Matter of fact the Bose gets so loud until I'm afraid I might get in trouble for disturbing the peace !



If 10 was the loudest volume the Bose could play at , I would say in comparison, the Sony plays at about 6 1/2 to 7 !



Now lets talk about the Rechargeable lithium-ion Battery's !

The Sony comes with a very small Battery that fits inside of the unit, on the other hand the Bose has a very large Battery that fits on the back of the unit!



The Sony battery lasted less than 2 hours while playing at a high volume for the Sony !



On the other hand I have played the Bose for 5 and six hours "with battery power left over" at a louder volume than I played the Sony at for less than 2 hours!!!!

The Bose battery is far superior to the Sony's !!!!!!



The comparatively low volume and the weak battery life of the Sony was a deal breaker for me, so I returned the Sony !

But if you can put up with the volume of the Sony and the weak battery life you could save $200 !



You have to decide for yourself !



Now lets talk about the Bose a little more , I have owned the Bose SoundDock Portable for about a year now and it is without a doubt the best sounding portable speaker for it's size !!!!! There are a few larger portable speakers that sound a little bit better than the Bose when ran by AC ! To name a few that may sound a little better, Harman Kardon's Go + Play, Kicker iK501, Altec Lansing iMT800, Bowers & Wilkins'Zeppelin, iPod Hi-Fi, Altec Lansing inMotion iM7 !



What do all of those speakers have in common? They are all much larger than the Bose, about twice as large!!!! None of them run on a long lasting Rechargeable lithium-ion Battery like the Bose does !



Bottom line is Bose is the Best "Pound per Pound" battery powered portable speaker system for it's size !!!! I have the Harman Kardon's Go + Play, I had the Altec Lansing inMotion iM7,the Sony RDP-XF100IP, plus I have many others and I can't find a small "around 5.2 pounds" speaker system for any price that beats the Bose !!!



I don't want to carry around a unit that is larger or heaver than the Bose SoundDock Portable, so if you think you know of a "Better" Battery Powered Portable Speaker System that weighs around the same or less than the Bose with the battery included, please let me know, I don't think one exists at this time ! - Iphone Speakers - Ipod Speakers - Iphone Dock - Ipod Dock

Powered Usb Hub - 10 port usb hub, usb hub


Click here for more information
I must say, I have two of these USB Hubs by Plugable. I liked the first one so much I got another.

I have been through 5 hubs this year trying to find one that will power my external hard drive and charge my iPhone. It doesn't sound like too much to ask. Well, I finally found what I was looking for in this USB hub.



First the Fit and Finish. Everything looks good on this hub. From the piano black finish to the tasteful, blue, glowing bar and sweet blue light coming out of the ports. It's just enough light to let you find the ports in the dark.



There are 8 fixed ports on this hub and two ports that swivel out. There are 6 fixed ports on one side and 4 ports on the other. The side with 4 has the two swivel ports. From the logo and text printed on the unit, the swivel side is the top and the 6 come out the bottom. I have turned mine vertical and the ports come out the sides. The swivel ports are SO HANDY! I like the fact they put all the ports on just two sides. I dislike the hubs that have ports on 4 sides. Two sides is handy, four is crazy because you have cables coming out of all sides. All the ports are usable on this hub.



I mounted one unit to the wall behind my laptop in my shop. Some 3M Scotch 4010 Heavy Duty Clear Mounting Tape worked well. The other unit is mounted, using the same tape, by my desktop computer in the house.3M Scotch 4010 Heavy Duty Clear Mounting Tape



All in all, I appreciate that this USB hub just works. If you need more power and more ports, this is it. I have been looking at USB hubs since they came out with USB 1. I know quality when I see it and I really like the quality of this USB hub. Plugable USB 2.0 10 Port Hub (with Power Adapter)

This is the best full-powered USB hub I've found anywhere. Retail stores stock USB hubs with only four or five ports, and even then, most of the hubs I tried have problems powering all the ports, all the time. This ten port hub is a great solution to having many USB devices that need to be connected at the same time. This hub has fully powered ports, which means that it charges attached devices, cell phones, iPods, and other USB charged devices, even when the computer it's connect to is not powered on.

I have been needing a USB hub for a very long time. So many of my devices use the USB ports that I have to constantly plug and unplug them. I needed a hub, but I was worried about them having enough juice to power everything. No need to worry. This Plugable USB hub can be plugged into an outlet, and I can have all the power I need. So far, so good.



This unit can also be powered exclusively by the computer's USB port, so that it can be used without being plugged in. If you don't have many devices demanding power through the USB connection, this is a nice option and makes the unit more portable.



There are six hubs in the front and four in the back (two of which swivel upwards). I no longer have trouble finding an available USB port. I can keep everything plugged in and they all work as expected. I am happy with this purchase.



____________________________



UPDATE: I've had this hub for a month and the ports on the front side suddenly died. I can still use the ports on the backside. I suspect it's static electricity, since I reached in to handle it and a powerful shock emanated from my finger. I've contacted the manufacturer and will update here with their response.



_____________________________



2ND UPDATE: Warranty service was nearly instantaneous. I emailed them on a weekend and did not expect a response. Not only did I get a response, but they shipped a replacement right away. Talk about service! My new unit is now up and running. I will update again, if necessary.

As a computer engineer with many, many USB peripherals I could not be happier with this hub. This hub provides very easy access to 10 ports that can sit right there on your desk- no more getting up and searching for a free rear port (if your front ports are already full of course). It works very well without the power supply when devices connected to it are self powered (printers, external HDDs, etc), but don't expect to be able to run all of your USB powered devices (iPods for example) from this hub without it being plugged in to its own outlet. The glowing blue light on top is a very nice aesthetic which also illuminates the inside of the ports (except the two pivoting ports) providing for easy visibility in the dark. I highly recommend this hub.

The Plugable hub does the job for which I purchased it. It takes up one USB 2.0 port on my computer and gives me 10 powered USB 2.0 ports. The price was reasonable and, I must say, I like the blue thin light down the middle of the hub which also lights the interior of unused ports. That makes the ports easier to see if you have the hub stored on a dark shelf under your desk and you need to plug in another device. I gave power supply 4 stars as I would have liked to have seen an on/off button included so as to turn the hub off without having to unplug the AC adapter cord from the unit. - Usb - Powered Hub - Usb Hub - 10 Port Usb Hub

Iphone Clock Alarm - iphone clock alarm, ipod dock


Click here for more information
I wanted to replace my clock radio for one that charges my iPod Touch & has decent sound. After sampling several models at the Apple Store & researching online, I picked this one. As a note, there is a previous model of this unit & there are some major differences. Since both are still available as of 1/14/10, you might want to decide which one works better for you. The differences are:

-The old one was shorter, designed for regular ipods. The Touch & the iPhone stuck out higher then the radio, which meant when reaching for the snooze or other buttons, you may hit the iphone/touch and knock it off.

-The old one has a smaller clock display.

-The old one had a BETTER ipod dock. It actually had a rest behind where the ipod stands, which could be adjusted from the back to go in or out. This to me was an amazing & rather unique solution.



The one I bought, the new one described in this item listing, has a bigger clock display & is taller so the touch and iphone no longer stick out on top. However, the dock no longer has the adjustable backrest like the older model. Instead, it comes with 2 plates, one for the iphone, one for the Touch. If you have another ipod, you'll have to bring your own dock plate.



The main problem with this dock plate solution is that my Touch doesn't fit with the protective case on (I use an Agent 18). Since taking the Touch out of the case everyday is not something I wish to do, I have to use this without any dock plates. The problem with that is the only support the Touch has is the dock port. This is obviously not a good thing in the long term. It makes using the Touch while it is docked a 2 hand operation; one to stabilize the Touch & keep it from pushing back & the other hand to make the adjustments. This is doubly frustrating since they had a much better docking solution in the older model.



I plan on glueing a piece of foam or other material on the radio behind where the Touch would be to support it.



Even with this caveat, I would still recommend this Sony. The price to benefit ratio, to me at least, is great. The sound quality and clock radio functions are excellent, especially when you factor in the price you paid.



Things I like:

-Excellent sound

-Lots of options for the clock radio; 2 alarms, different days of the week, can wake up to ipod, buzzer, or clock.

-Sleep function also works with listening to iPod

-Comes with external AM & FM antennas. Picks up stations I listen to without a problem.

-Electronic tuning for radio stations with presets

-Plays Pandora & other sound apps through the system also

-Buzzer for alarm works great. Starts off slow and low volume. Then increases in intensity after every hit of the Snooze bar.

-Clock auto sets & remembers time if unplugged. Only have to set time zone when you first set it up.

-Remote works with iPod and has decent range.



Things I don't like:

-Docking solution is a regression compared to the older model



Overall, I recommend this unit. If you don't use a case with your iPhone or Touch, than it would get 5 stars, IMO. Sony ICFCS10iP Speaker Dock with Alarm Clock and Radio for iPod/iPhone (Black)

Like the previous reviewer, I also went to a brick and mortar store to buy the previous model, which was on the display, but the inventory was for this unit, billed as a slightly newer replacement unit by Sony. This unit fixes two complaints from the previoous model: 1) the Iphone no longer sits above the snooze button; 2) the clock is far less cluttered and the display is larger and easier to see.



What really amazed me when I took it home and set it up was the sound quality. I currently have the Ihome IP9 and IP99. One of my IP9 units failed after about 10 months, so I bought this Sony unit to replace it. This unit is so much better in sound quality than the Ihome! I can't believe how great the sound is from such a small and inexpensive device. In addition, my Iphone fits snugly into this unit without any adapters, and I do not have to remove my protective case to properly dock it. I think Sony fixed the majority of complaints quite successfully with this new unit, and I am very pleased to have purchased it. I strongly recommend it over the Ihome units.

I bought this sony ipod speaker/alarm clock because I recently purchased an Iphone 3GS and wanted something for the bedroom with GSM shielding that would charge my phone as I listened. The form and price of this Sony unit are quite reasonable and everything is easy to use. It interfaces perfectly with the Iphone and there is no buzzing sound at all. The remote is easy to use and has all the expected functionality. Alarm function was intuitive and easy to use. I really like the way this dock holds my Iphone, it is more secure than most docks I have owned or used and I can leave my case on and still get a secure fit.



I returned this unit within a week because I was unhappy with the sound. I'm not an audiophile but I have several fairly good products I use with my Ipod and Iphone; Bose Sounddock, JBL On Stage, Logitech audiostsation express, Shure E2C, and Ultimate Ears Superfi 5. The Sony does not come close in sound to any of these and it is similarly priced to the JBL and Logitech. The Sony plays loud and clear enough, but cymbals were no where near clear and the bass sounded terrible. Drums sounded like someone was hitting a plastic bucket with a 2x4. I tend to think it is because the speakers are not ported. I wasn't expecting perfect sound, but the player it was replacing (due to incompatibility with the Iphone)was a JBL On Stage (small speaker port if you look carefully) that sounded much better and was similarly priced (the new On Stage with GSM shielding is significantly more expensive). Another small problem I have is that the speaker grill seems to be made of plastic and can easily be bent to hit the speaker.



For less money I went with the Ihome IP99 which has significantly better sound (speakers are ported) and more or less all the same features. One improvement is the ability to dim the clock all the way to off so you can have total darkness at night. - Iphone Clock Alarm - Ipod Dock System - Ipod Dock - Iphone Dock

Ipad 2 Cover - ipad 2, ipad 2 accessories


Click here for more information
I am very pleased I was patient and waited for this IPAD 2 cover to be released. I wanted a cover that would protect both the front and back of the IPAD so I passed on the APPLE electonic cover even though I liked the smart cover option. What a great surprise when I received my rooCase. It not only protects the entire IPAD, it also acts as a smart cover and automatically turns the IPAD on when I open it and puts it to sleep when the cover is closed. It has a nice leather feel and texture and comes in my favorite color - red, but it also comes in black if that's your preference. It's a great buy for the price - much less than the electronic cover and more protective. I was not disappointed in this purchase. rooCASE Dual Station Premium Leather (Red) Case Cover with Stand for Apple iPad 2 Wifi / 3G Model 16GB, 32GB, 64GB

When I purchased the iPad2, I decided not to buy a magnetic cover because I wanted something that will protect both the screen and the ipad body. I searched and searched and when I saw this roocase in amazon, I knew this was the one. Even though I had to wait until the April 11 release date, which meant I had my ipad2 unprotected for almost a month, it was totally worth it. My roocase came in yesterday and its fantastic!



Its not heavy at all. It fits perfectly. Every inch of my new baby is totally protected! Even if I didn't buy the screen shield, the roocase would still have protected my screen. I just chose to put a shield on because my 5-year old loves to play with my ipad and I don't want him getting all kinds of stuff stuck to the screen. lol.



I HIGHLY recommend this product!

We just received this cover for our iPad 2, and are very pleased. It's well made, and covers all the essential access points. Additionally, it is nice to have the magnetized cover and no elastic corners.

I was a little apprehensive when I ordered my roo ipad2 case The Ipad was a gift from my son and he also sent me the red leather Apple cover. I diplomatically explained to him how grateful I was for being so thoughtful ordering me the cover but that I had found one that also covered the back of the ipad for greater protection. The leather is great, the red is beautiful. The iPad fits into it securely and all the buttons are easy to use. When I returned the Apple cover to the Apple store, I showed two of the techs my cover and they wanted to know who made it, where I got it from and the price. They were shocked at the quality. I am a very happy Mom.rooCASE Dual Station Premium Leather (Red) Case Cover with Stand for Apple iPad 2 Wifi / 3G Model 16GB, 32GB, 64GB

This case is indeed a very handsome one. It's stylish and very practical, and the color and texture of the leather very rich. I carry my iPad everywhere I go, and my new case has proven very durable. The flip cover is also sturdy and I can type on my iPad without its collapsing on me. I also appreciate the nice genuine leather with seamless quality stitching. I had been highly awaiting the arrival of my new case (red is my favorite color), and you can trust me when I say I was not disappointed!

This leather, red iPad 2 case is the perfect case. I bought the Apple Smart Cover when I first bought my IPad 2 but didn't like it because it didn't offer any protection whatsoever and it didn't clean up at all so I took it back. I used a slip case until my rooCase came in and my dog knocked my pad out of my hands and it shattered. The replacement iPad 2 came in the same day my rooCase came in. I took it with me to the Apple store. When the Apple guy saw my beautiful leather rooCase AND that it has the MAGNETIC CLOSURE THAT PUTS THE PAD TO SLEEP JUST LIKE THE SMART COVER he kinda freaked out. And especially when he found out that I paid less for it than the Smart Cover.

Also, the flap helps keep the sun off the screen when I'm using it at the pool.

The first time I had to travel with my iPad I had only the cover I bought at the Apple store. It worked great at home but tossing my iPad in my over-sized purse, knowing it was going to be at my feet on the flight, worried me. I was concerned I might accidently step on it! I knew then I needed a more sturdy case. This one fit the bill perfectly! Now when I travel I have no concerns about the safety of the iPad. Love the color as well! The only negative I have is that when using the case as a stand in the more upright position, it is a bit wobbly. It almost feels as though it needs to be taped down to the surface to ensure it won't topple! But as I haven't actually used it that way and probably won't, it's not a real concern for me.

I was going to get the case from Apple, But after reading reviews and compairing prices I decided on this case. Boy was I glad. It is worth twice the money I paid and blows the apple case out of the water!

Definitely a smart case that looks good. It holds the iPad2 nice and snugly and there are holes in all of the right places for the buttons, connector and camera's. I was nicely surprised at the quality of the leather, stitching and overall manufacturing of this unit. I was especially delighted that the rooCASE switched off the screen when I closed the cover using the new iPad2 magnet mechanism. The front cover sits lightly against the unit (due to the leather surround that goes around the perimeter of the iPad2 (to hold it in), this means that you don't get the railway track marks on the screen like the manufacturer case ... yeah !!!. My only concern is that sometimes you have to help it situate when putting it in its most upright position, but that's a small issue in my opinion. I would definitely recommend this case cover. - Ipad 2 - Ipad 2 Accessories - Ipad 2 Case - Ipad 2 Cover

Ipod Touch Accessories - stylus pen, ipad


Click here for more information
These stylus are very well made and work very well, if all you want to do is find an alternative to pressing the onscreen keyboard. However, these stylus are totally useless for use with a drawing program because the rubber tip will not glide across the screen. If you use your iPhone outdoors and you are wearing gloves, these stylus are for you. If you want to draw, then you'd be better off with a stylus with a soft foam tip. 3 Pack of Universal Touch Screen Stylus Pen (Red + Black + Silver)

Short and sweet:



I've tried three of the stylus brands offered on Amazon: The $15.00; the $11.99 aCase; and the cheap three-pack "Universal Touch Screen Stylus.".



It is easy to tell you which not to buy: the cheap ones. The rubber tips on them have too much friction. You can't write or draw easily; you literally feel like the Stylus is getting stuck on the screen. Guaranteed, one zillion percent, you will hate it.



Now, to the Boxwave vs. the aCase.



This isn't just a draw; there's not even a fight, because the two products are exactly the same (there's one subtle difference in the way the little headphone-jack string insert is attached to the pen. One uses a tiny, carbiner-type hook, and the other a ring. You'd probably never notice the difference, because there is non.



So, which to buy? The aCase is three dollars cheaper, but it only comes in black. That's it.

I should have read the reviews carefully.

Do not buy this if you want to use it with your iPhone to draw, slide the screens or do anything cool.



The tip is very soft and you need to put some effort in pressing it against the screen. If you try to slide it, you are in danger of damaging the screen since the tip moves away and the hard plastic of the stylus can scratch your precious sceeen.



This is probably good if you are missing a finger or you are wearing gloves and your apps are in the main screen.

There are three (3) types of touch screens, buy the correct stylus for your screen.



From eHow:



Resistive-type screens lack the clarity of other touch screens but they tend to be very durable and can be used in a variety of environments. Resistive-type screens are the most common in use today.



Capacitive screens are resistant to outside elements, making them very durable, and they still maintain a high clarity. Unlike resistive and surface wave screens, which can be used with stylus, capacitive panels must be touched with a finger.



Surface wave touch panels are the more advanced of the three types, offering the highest clarity. But they are more easily damaged by outside elements.

The iPad has a capacitive touch screen, your gloves won't work, and that plastic stylus from your old Palm PDA won't work either. Buy a capacitive stylus for your iPad.

The price and shipping time on this item are great. Sadly, the item itself is basically useless. I bought this for my iPad and it works but you have to mash really hard and then it leaves a funky streak mark and it's hard to get it to work and then it isn't very precise. I bought it to have a stylus to use with a drawing app and given how big the tip is and hard I have to mash to get it to work it's much less useful than simply using my finger.

This is a very nice stylus with a soft rubber tip. They work great on my Instinct and with the rubber tip there is no fear of scratching the screen. My only "issue" is that the stylus are to thick to fit into the stylus pocket on the stock Instinct case... but the size does make the stylus much more easier to control so you're more accurate with them. I'm glad I ordered the three pack because I can just keep one at work, one in the car, and one at home.

With fat fingers and hands that sometimes shake, these styluses worked great on my iPad AND my DroidX phone. I often give them away to friends and have ordered about four packs so far! For the price, it's worth a try! - Stylus Pen - Ipad - Stylus - Iphone Stylus
