Leather - galaxy, leather

Click here for more information After having searched extensively online for a Samsung galaxy tablet case, I decided to give this one a try because of (1) great price, and (2) it's a custom fitted case (where as other products in this price range use 4 flex bands at each corner holding the tablet down, which will likely block/press on the power button).



The case arrived on time and i was very impressed with the product quality. It looks great, fits the tablet perfectly with all the buttons and ports are easily accessible. The only down side, if i have to pick one, is unlike some of the high end cases (usually $40+), this one doesn't convert into a stand so if you watch a lot of videos while sitting in front of a desk (hint: use a laptop), then this might not be what you are looking for. That said, BestBuy sells their own version of this case for a whopping $50, so i am very happy with this product. CaseCrown Faux Leather Premium Case with Interior Compartments for Samsung GALAXY Tab (Black)

The case serves the desired need to protect my Galaxy tab, (GT).

I use the GT for my business and personal daily need.

All of the "cut outs" for ear piece, data connector, power, volume control, camera, memory and SIM openings are perfect and no need to remove the tab form the case to use them. However the case does have a cardboard filing. So after sometime, the case will need to be replaces. I spent $14 so no issue to replace for me.

The price has gone up almost 50% since I bought one of these for my mom's Galaxy Tab ($15 vs $10). It fits perfectly and offers great protection. It lacks a kickstand, but for the price I paid, that's probably asking for a lot. So based on its great quality and functionality, and the price I paid, it gets my five stars. At its current price, I'd give it 4.5... yes, it's still a good case at a good price.

I purcahsed the CaseCrown from Amazon because of all the excellent reviews written by earlier purchasors. They were all accurate. An attractive case with clean lines. The fact that they shipped it with a foam insert to keep its proper shape impressed me.) The portals are exactly where they need to be, and because this case is not real leather, it is a wee bit slimmer making it easier to fit into coat or jeans pockets. I will buy another one.

For me, this is really neat. My Galaxy fits into it and I can reach all the controls. It doesn't add much weight and it will still slip into my purse. It makes the Galaxy easier for me to hold and read or to carry it when it is not in my purse.

I am amazed on the quality of this case, i would guess it was worth 3 times what they are asking. The cut out sections for the buttons and the speakers fit perfectly. It feels great in your hand. It does not slide around in the case because it has a nice snug fit. It has a good amount of cushioning so it feels like it will protect the device from bumps and dings. It has a refined look like you are carrying a day planner or business note book instead of a tablet. It also gives extra dimension to the Tab so you have a more sure grip when holding the tab when you are using it.



No kickstand but for the quality you get for the price i will not miss it.

I bought this case as well because of the price. It fits perfect and true you really can't set it up for video's but its still protects your Galaxy Tab and looks good. I take it everywhere work, church, etc.

i recommend this case hands down compared to those others that are $40 and up. The cut outs for slots are perfect. Get it who knows how long this case will stay for under $13 bucks. - Galaxy - Leather - Samsung - Tab

Click here for more information From the top; The tablet was delivered in 8 business days, which I would say for standard shipping, is decent, but not impressive. Once received, a quick inspection revealed the speaker cover was damaged. Other than that, no functionality issues. I've had the pad for a little over a week now, and still no issues so far. The battery life is ok, averaging about 2-3 hours of continuous use. Also, you have to re-enable WI-FI every time you restart the tablet. Note. This tablet does not come equipped with the Android Marketplace. Now, don't let this be a turn off, because there is a simple work around for this issue. This tablet is equipped with a MicroSD card slot. If you save .apk files on the memory card from your computer, the tablet will be able to recognize and open/install them. A quick Google search will reveal many websites in which one can acquire such apps ".apk" files. In this sense, you don't really need the marketplace. I would also highly recommend installing Astro File Manager, to expedite the process. Another issue I ran into was getting the WI-FI to work. The solution, is to go into your router's settings and change the WEP settings to "SHARED" rather than "OPEN". Usually, to access your router you would open your internet browser window and type 192.168.1.1 or something similar, and log in using the user name and password you created to set it up ... "Contact your service provider if you have problems doing this." Now, back on the subject of the tablet, after testing various file types, I have concluded that it open nearly any format that you throw at it. I also strongly recommend downloading Adobe pdf for android, if you plan on viewing .PDF's. The touch screen is actually pretty decent for the price. If you are patient with the tablet, it will function flawlessly. Android is an ever expanding universe of applications. If you are an iphone user, you will quickly find that many of the applications you have grown to love either exists also in android form, or has a similar counterpart for the later. Conclusion, for $240, this tablet is a reasonable deal. The build quality is also decent, for it being equipped with a plastic shell. It is lightweight, sleek, and the 10.2" screen, is large enough to actually enjoy videos, although, the video playback can be a bit choppy at times on high definition videos. I would definitely recommend this product to the people looking for a cheaper alternative to the IPAD. I hope this helps someone. Zenithink 10" Touchscreen Android 2.1 Tablet (ePad)

UPDATE 10/17/2010:

Installed the firmware 1014 - Good news. Android Market is now working for downloads as well. This firmware now includes a few more applications like Contacts and Places. I downloaded and installed the following free apps from the Market. These are highly recommended.

Advanced Task Killer Free, ASTRO (a must), Dictionary.com, Music Downloader Pro, TuneIn Radio.



UPDATE 10/03/2010:

Just installed the 0929 firmware (available from [...] under Company News -> Latest Software).



Good news:

. Wi-Fi now seems more stable.

. Android Market is now included along side with the following apps :

Alarm Clock, Bluetooth, Browser, Calculator, Calendar, Clock, Gmail, DevTools, Email, Gallery, Maps, Market, Music, Navigation, News And Weather, Notepad, IoFile Manager, RealPlayer, Settings, Spare Parts, Superuser, Talk, TaskKiller, You Tube

. Adobe PDF reader is included in the firmware package. You need to install it. There is also another downloadable package with various applications.

. Gmail works fine. Emails are notified when they come to your inbox (without interrupting the current running application).



Bad News:

. Market connects but could not download any apps so far.

. Adobe PDF reader crashes from time to time.



Overall every firmware is getting better and the device becoming more usable. However, I still do not recommend it to the casual user. Good luck.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------







I have been using this tablet for almost a week now. Definitely not an iPad replacement and not targeted for a casual user. It does use Android 2.1 OS. (Yes, Android is based on Linux kernel). It is almost unusable out of the box. So I browsed the internet and found a few sites with the latest firmware (0827). (See [...] for instructions). Once I installed the latest firmware, it become much more usable. I did not try installing Android Market, but it can be done.



Pros:

-----

. Cheap and an OK device for testing Android applications

. It has 2 USB (1 standard and 1 mini) and 1 MicroSD ports

. Easy to install user-developed applications on it if you are using the Android SDK and Eclipse tools.

. Battery life is acceptable (3-5 hours)



Cons:

-----

. Not much support from the manufacturers. Almost unusable out of the box.

. As another reviewer mentioned - WiFi does not stay on for long. I usually download apps to my PC and transfer them to the tablet using an USB stick.

. The screen is not very responsive and many android apps are not designed for the HD screen. So it is very difficult to scroll up/down without selecting and opening list items.

My Samsung UN55C8000

Okay, I bought this TV in July and returned after a few days due to some problems. I bought it last week and I'm so excited that I did. This TV is even better than last year. In addition, firmware updates are already installed on the TV and I had to do.

I have watched the following blu-ray movies on it:
-- Green Zone (This movie itself is made in mostly dark scenes, but I enjoyed it)
-- Prince of Persia (stunning quality - both Dynamic and Movie mode)
-- Cars (Absolutely freaking stunning)

I also tried a few Netflix movies online, but my internet speed is slow. I could not play HD movies through the bandwidth of the Internet, but the quality of regular film was fantastic. As a first step on Netflix, the movie seemed so real I just watch "manufacture" of the film. Later I swithced "naturally" in the menu and looked like a movie. :) I have yet to explore all your TV functions can be optimized, but a better profile to factory default. As the youngest of my 2 years old, I'm in love with this TV more and more each passing day. :)

I changed the format for playback on TV in "Dynamic", before playing Avatar. I swear I saw the colors of the Cinemark theater were not half as good as they look on TV. Great! Awesome! I also tried to watch the same film in 3D. The depth of the upconverted 3D mode was only partially correct with respect to the true 3D movies you see with 3D glasses.

Another star was lost due to the low double-edged (images crosstalk) of certain scenes in the movie (Monsters vs. Aliens) when viewed in 3D mode. People say that happens from time to time, someone said that "it is rare." Let me tell you what happens almost every time on the picture where the background is dark and the subject is clear and brilliant in it Example: .. The planet in the sky before crashing or timing behind the guy who is that with a ping-pong table or view in the church 90% of the film is brighter so we do not see double-board 90% of the time.

God forbid if we get The Lord of the Rings in 3D format of a day in the future we will see double-edged (or crosstalk) 60% of the time the film has a beautiful dark scenes in it. I talked to Samsung and guy advised me to install the latest update on TV, what I did, but does not solve the problem. And when I spent most of the dollars ($3,000) for this technology, I do not want to compromise with the quality of it. Nemo I also played in 2D mode and under-the-Sea dark scenes, it was clear edges around the objects in it (like his father, Dory and Nemo).

One last thing: I tried to play Blu-ray movies from my laptop and my laptop connected to your TV via the Denon. The film appeared on television, in general, believes that the handset is extremely sharp and clear. And I know that this is not the Denon. However, this does not bother me as much as crosstalk problems when viewing 3D content.

TV in 3D mode loses color when you take two steps to the right or left. Then she asks to sit in the Love Seat. If you sit on a chair outside of yourself or another part of the couch, you will not see half of the colors. But this is expected. "Viewing Angle" is generally limited to the screen than in plasma. However, the viewing angle is greater than 2D in 3D. But then you dance around to watch movies in 3D.




 

Portable Dvd Player Case - dvd player case, dvd

Click here for more information I recently purchased a Philips - 9" Widescreen Portable DVD Player with Dual Screens. I was concerned that this case wouldn't fit the 9" screens because all other reviews mentioned the 7" screens. This case fit the two screens perfectly! Another nice thing is that it is still roomy enough to fit a couple headsets and all the cords that go with the DVD player. I'm very happy with the product! Case Logic PDVD-9 7-9-Inch Dual Screen DVD Player, Black

After much searching and reading the reviews I thought I found my replacement case, however its just too small. I have a 7-inch portable DVD player with an extra screen that has served us very well. While the case holds the screens nicely, it becomes very difficult to get all the cords into the extra pocket. I got it in, but then another problem came when I tried to install the unit into the car. The case leaves no room to accommodate the cords to be plugged in...the car power cord and the cord that connects the two units. The case that came with my players had slits for the cords to plug in. I didn't expect this, but I thought there would be ample room for the cords to plug into the sides of the player, especially considering it is made to hold players up to 9-inches.



Something to consider before buying this case.

We purchased the case to hold our twin RCA 8" screens and they fit perfectly. Each screen has it's own pocket and are well protected with padding. The case includes a pocket to store 4 DVDs (without cover)but we just tote the DVDs in the cases separately and use this pocket to store all the adapters, headphones, remotes, etc. Once the case is full, it's still fairly compact and fits nicely in the back seat in between passengers.

I was looking for a case for my Audiovox dual-screen setup (purchased at Target), I think they are 7" screens. The fit was pretty snug - I had to struggle to zip it closed. But it holds them well and there are plenty of pockets. If you have a large DC charger/power supply, I don't think you'll be able to fit it in here.

I purchased this carrying case for my husband, who is an OTR driver with slip setting. He was constantly misplacing the cords to his 9" portable tv/dvd player. Since I gave this case to him I haven't heard a single word from him wondering were his cords are. Great organizer.

I've only used this case for the purpose of transporting both units plus the DVDs, but it does open ( flap down, like the dinner tray on the planes)to see your DVDs. I really like it, it protects both cases very well, and there is enough space for the wires and earbuds. I can also squeeze in about 3 VD cases, not to mention that there are some slotted areas for you to directly place the disk. I purchased these for use with the Philips 7" dual DVDs that I purchased on Amazon. I am very happy with the purchase and the price. I have other smaller CaseLogic items, and they have all been well made and durable. Hope this helps!

I bought this product for my philips 9" dual screen portable dvd players. They fit just fine. I put one in the main pocket and one in the back pocket. Of course mine mount to the headrest with a single strap so I won't use the actual case for viewing. However the case works perfectly for me to transport both screens mounting stuffs and a pair of toddler headphones. - Dvd Player Case - Dvd - Dvd Player - Netbook Case

Worth waiting to find HDTV.

Examiners greetings .. I accidentally found this particular model (UN55C8000) on Amazon, and is a 2010 model. The 2011 models (check your local store for the big "D" series), and are $3000 +, which was not interested because of the price, even if they are close to the bezel-less, so there is a high "cool" factor. I almost won the TV shop and I am very happy with the TV is independent.

My room dimensions are so small that the point of observation is only 8 feet from the screen (which is in my eye at the center of the screen. This is an incredibly bright screen and fast that ignores many others I have seen. I've been waiting 3D for a long 55-inch LED that I can replace my long outdated in 32-CRT (I know ... it's like comparing a radio to a CD, but that's what I had before), then c "is what I compare this to.

The monitor is easy to set up a series of screen televisions in the media. More interesting to me was the weight without the stand. Most people I know will be mounted on a wall or a monitor stand is designed to fix a flat screen and do not use the media very cool. I found that the monitor is very "light" without the base. It is about 30 pounds, which means it will not weigh your wall or put a load more about this monitor stand.

When I turned on the plateau for the first time I was very pleased with the reversal of tone and reveals how all the lights, instead of shooting. Although this is an "LED", which means that the LED backlight is a source. It is a well-designed features. I have a Denon AVR3806 which is a little 'dated, but I'm happy with the HDMI output on it to my monitor with a source of HD cable TV box. When the HD or SD, the picture is very clear . Every so often, I have a bit 'of pixelation or delay, but I think the reason is the source of the material is electronic.

When you watch sports or watching a documentary in HD is the star image ... In fact, the update (at 240Hz), so fast, that turns into an HD image that is a bit cooler than my CRT. I changed my colors and my color, but the real reason is the rate Update of your monitor. I have not tested the game with Blue-Ray or 3D from this paper (I just bought the Samsung BD-D6700, so I expect really good things with him).

Overall, I was struck by the level of black, the color is very lively, but the refresh rate so fast that it overwhelms most sources give the viewer a "digital video and listen to the recorded image screen. This is a set of high quality. If they are not placed on the aesthetics of the new model "D", save your money and worry about the big picture of this.

Kindle 3 Case - kindle, kindle 3 cover

Click here for more information I am very happy with this Kindle case. It is very high quality, with good, heavy stitching and sturdy front and back covers. The front flap is held closed with a magnet, a very nice touch. My Kindle fits in this case very tightly, so it feels secure and it will definitely never fall out. All in all a great product.



Also, when I received my case, it had a small cosmetic defect on the front cover. When I contacted the seller, I figured I'd have to send the case back and wait for a replacement. Rather, JAVOedge immediately sent me a replacement and a pre-paid return envelope for the original case, so it didn't cost me a penny and I didn't have to go without a case in the mean time. This is the kind of service that makes me want to do future business with this seller.



A+ all around! JAVOedge Cherry Blossom Book Case for Amazon Kindle 3 (Twilight Purple)

After I receive my Kindle, I knew I would need a cover to protect it. After much research, I decided on this one. I love that it's an animal friendly cover and the design is simply gorgeous. This cover has a nice feel to it. Another plus for me is that it's the type of cover that you slide your Kindle into and not one that attaches to your Kindle with metal hooks. For this price, this cover is a must buy!

I looked at tons of covers before selecting one. Reviews are important to me. I read a lot of covers looked nice but felt cheap or the outer covers cracked when you folded it back to read. Also a lot of covers have elastic bands holding the kindle in at the corners, covering some of the buttons or not feeling entirely secure.

This cover if amazing. A perfect size slot for the kindle that slides in and fits snug, no slipping out. The cut is perfect that every button is visible. It's slightly padded for protection, I love the pattern, and it seems to be made really well. I would absolutely tell you, buy one of these before any other! I got the blue but I don't see it offered anymore.

Very cute, a little thick for protection, folds back easily so you can use it how you want. The only complaint, sometimes the cover gets a little in the way of the up button on the 5 way and it casts a little bit of a shadow on the top line of the book from the cover when you are reading with a lamp. I like it overall, those are the only 2 things not perfect! I wouldn't not-buy it because of these things.

Being new to the Kindle world and having spent good money on it, I wanted to make sure I protected my investment. And I'm happy to say that I've done that. The fabric is denim-like in texture, meaning I don't fear it will somehow slip out of my hands. The interior fabric, for the most part, is suede-like and helps to protect the screen of the Kindle. And the ease of just slipping the Kindle in, rather than having to use clips to secure it in place means I won't somehow scratch or mar the Kindle. Plus the magnetic closures, how smart is that! You don't see them unless you look very closely but you most certainly feel them hold the cover closed. LOVE IT!

I love this kindle case. It's so much more fun and unique than most of the cases I saw and the pattern hides dirt and signs of wear and tear. I fold the cover back to make it a bit easier to hold, but it works well and hasn't given me any problems.

I spent hours searching for a trendy case that was NOT made of leather. Finally, I found this case. I love it. I almost never take my Kindle out of this case.



-My Kindle 3g slides from the top down and fits snugly. (No metal hooks!)

-Case can be folded back with out fear of it cracking or breaking.

-The magnet keeps the case closed very securely.

-The cloth is durable, high quality and is stitched well.

-You can easily charge your Kindle while it is in the case.



Would I recommend this to anyone? Yes, I would. In fact, If I had the capability of getting a different case I would not. LOVE IT.

I am so happy with this Kindle jacket. The material is sturdy and very pretty. The Kindle fits really snuggly inside without covering any of the buttons. The front cover easily folds behind for easy one-handed holding. I highly recommend it! - Kindle - Kindle 3 Cover - Kindle Accessory - Light Weight

Home Theater - home theater receivers, hdmi

Click here for more information The sound from my ten year old Onkyo TX-DS474 was now inferior and I had read very good reviews of the Onkyo SR 507, so decided to pre order the brand new SR 508. It arrived from Amazon on April 29th. I used the built in equalizer to set up the speakers, connected the receiver with brand new HDMI v1.4 cables and connected it to my Dish satellite receiver, my Panasonic BluRay DVD player and my Panasonic HDTV. The sound was excellent. Whereas before we had to turn up the volume too loud to follow dialog on some shows, or else it was not clear, with the SR 508 the sound was so much clearer that we could keep the volume much lower.

After about three days I noticed that although I would assign the input as cab/sat, the receiver indicated ipod (now no ipod dock was connected to the receiver) but the sound still came through from the satellite box. Strange but no problem. Then exactly one week after receiving the receiver, in the middle of watching a show, the picture and sound went blank. No pushing of different buttons on the remote would make it work. My first reaction was a bad HDMI cable, so I changed it. Nothing. I switched to the DVD player, but again blank. So then I hooked up the satellite box and the DVD player directly to the TV by separate HDMI cables, turned on the TV speakers, and the TV works again. Obviously the SR 508 suddenly failed and would not even work as a pass through. I am returning the set to Amazon for a replacement. If the replacement works fine for a reasonable amount of time, I will update this review.

I chose Onkyo partially because of its RIHD feature in conjunction with Panasonic. In my experience that only works so-so. Turning on the BluRay DVD player did switch the receiver directly to DVD. But turning it off does not switch back automatically to cab/sat. Turning off the TV also turns off the Onkyo, but not vice versa. You still have to turn on the Onkyo receiver separately.

One unexpected problem with the receiver is that the zone 2 input works only with an analog signal. On my DS-474, I have set up output B to speakers in my screened in porch to be able to listen to CDs or TV there. The B speakers work with digital. Now all my signal inputs for zone 2 are digital, so it appears that the zone 2 feature is useless. Bummer!

I should specify that I am not at all techie, so there may be work arounds that I don't know!



Update#1: The unit failed Thursday evening, I requested a replacement online from Amazon on Friday noon, it arrived at my house on Saturday at about 2pm. I'm sure everyone would agree that that is outstanding customer service from Amazon. I have now (Sunday) installed the replacement unit and again it appears to be working great. Provided it continues to do so, I will add a second update and change my rating to four stars. I remain disappointed that the zone 2 is not digital, hence not 5 stars.



Update #2: Four days after installing the second receiver, it also failed in the same way. However, at the bottom of the "Troubleshooting" page in the user manual, I found the following comment: "The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal processing and control functions. In very rare situations, severe interference, noise from an external source, or static electricity may cause it to lock up. In the unlikely event this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, wait at least five seconds and then plug it in again."

That worked and it has not locked up again in the last ten days. However, I certainly take issue with the "rare circumstances" and "unlikely event" and I can't imagine any special event that may have caused it. My receiver is in a cabinet with the plug behind it, so unplugging is quite inconvenient. This said, the sound from the receiver is really clear so, if this problem does not recur frequently, I will be happy with the purchase. I'm changing my rating from one star to three stars. Onkyo TX-SR508 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver (Black)

I bought this to replace my Sony receiver I purchased from Amazon 3 years ago (almost to the day). While there was nothing "wrong" with my Sony receiver, I quickly realized once I plugged the Onkyo in, that my surround speakers were not being utilized as they should be.



While I am not an audiophile, I do have some quality speakers, and I do like having a quaility sound while watching movies (and playing Xbox). The sound is so clear and crisp with this receiver. Further, the set up with the 4 HDMI inputs made my stereo cabinet so much cleaner, and I got rid of all of my YRW and RBG wires. I am sure I could have invested another $300 and really got some really high end equipment, but honestly, the Onkyo is worth it. The funny thing is, I spent the same amount on the new Onkyo as I did on the old Sony, and the difference is just amazing.



The on-screen set up is great. It makes customizing the inputs and the equilizer so easy. And the speaker test really lets you know what where you need to place you speakers. What else can I say about this product? Honestly, this is the best purchase I have made in a long time. I think the 4 HDMI inputs alone make this a must-have over any other receiver similarly priced. I almost bought another Sony instead of the Onkyo (mostly because I have never purchased anything other than Sony receivers), but I am glad I made the switch. Now that I have experienced Onkyo, I think I have made a life long switch.



If you have any hesitations about buying this product, please feel free to send me a message, and I will try to answer your question before you buy. And if you have never bought an Onkyo before, try it first, and I am pretty sure you will like it (I would almost guarantee it). If not, return it to Amazon. They are really good with returns. But I doubt you will even want to return it once you get it set up. - Home Theater Receivers - Hdmi - Receiver - Home Theater
