5 comments about KHypermedia Slim Jewel Cases (Black, 25-Pack).
- Amazon asked me to do a review on this pack of thin black jewel cases that I bought to put my movie DVD's in. I can confirm that they are indeed black and thin, and have a center spindle which holds my DVD's in place nicely, and then you snap the cover closed and put the case on a shelf.
Can I go now?
- I was looking for Slim Jewel Cases - Black. The customer reviews I read for other manufacture's of the same product were mostly negative. The reviews talked of poor packaging and shipment which resulted in many cases being broken upon arrival. I don't know if Amazon improved their packaging or what. But I ordered two packs (50 cases) of the KHypermedia Black Slim Cases and not one case was broken, damaged, or chipped. They are perfect and so is the price.
- I thought this set was good for the price, I did shop around on Amazon.com before selecting this set because I just wanted something basic to protect the disc while shipping in the mail. I don't like how the disc doesn't snap into place because I can never tell if I put in right. Also I don't care for the way the case closes, it also doesn't snap into place. Overall it suits it's purpose. The item I received looks just like the image with loose shrinkwrap around it.
- Pretty average for low end cases, kinda cheapy, but you get what you pay for. They seem to be the same as all the others out there, probably one manufacturer in China that gets repackaged by other companies. Found them to be overly flexible and don't latch very well, probably wouldn't handle day to day use very well. If you need real protection, I'd go with a better case but these work well if your not going to put a lot of wear and tear on them.
- very happy with my purchase!! Got to me quickly and very cheap in price not qualiy!!

5 comments about Griffin RoadTrip FM Transmitter with SmartScan for iPod.
- I previously used a product that utilized a cassette connector placed in the tape deck of the car. Besides the tangle of wires, I did get a bit of distortion or hissing. RoadTrip with SmartScan is far superior. I would recommend the RoadTrip with SmartScan. No wires, has a sleek but sturdy flexible neck, holds your iPod securely, has interchangeable cradles if you have more than one iPod, and is much easier to program than a VCR! My only "gripe" was that the identifiers on the undersides of the cradle adaptors were almost impossible to read. They are molded into the plastic and are black on black.
- Griffin RoadTrip FM Transmitter with SmartScan works very well. its compact and sturdy with only 3 buttons to limit confusion. the sound clarity is near CD. that is if you get an unoccupied channel. i did, however, have problems with smartscan. in LA/OC California there too many stations for smartscan to work properly. otherwise, a great product.
- This is my second RoadTrip. The first one I had was one for a 2nd generation nano. I loved it and never had any trouble with it, except that I had to take the cover off of my nano or it wouldn't fit into the RoadTrip. This particular one has improved in that sense. It comes with 6 different docks for different models. The only thing is that it doesn't get the best reception, which my old one never had problems with. Sometimes it will get fuzzy and other times it is normal. So that is really the only complaint...but once you find a good station it is not bad for the most part.
- I have been looking for a car charger that will also work for the iPhone 3g that is FM transmitter, Dock/Holder all in one. Read all kinds of reviews on all kinds of sites.. THIS ONE I FINALLY TRIED AND WORKS AWESOME. you will however see the apple nag screen that it is not designed for use with this device but just click ignore and off you go.
Sound quality is very good
Easy to use
Charging is Fast
Has swivle neck so i can put phone in portrait mode
THIS IS THE ONE TO GET IF YOU HAVE iPhone 3G.
- excellent product and easy to use. Takes the hassle out of manually scanning for a free station.

5 comments about Cables To Go - 30505 - 2-Port USB 2.0 Manual Switch.
- Simple and uncomplicated. It is easy to install and use. Great to share a USB device between two computers, or two devices on one computer.
- Fantastic plug and use works great PC and Apple to HP 7210 printer all- in -one....looked for a long time to find this product!... could not be happier....no downloads needed to install Just push a button to transfer...LED's show transfer.
- One laptop did not recognize the device and the other treated it like a mouse (and kept disabling my tough pad). Returned.
- This is just what I needed for my boss. He has two laptops but one printer. He can easily switch the printer from the older laptop to the new one with ease.
- I purchased this switch to work with USB receiver for a Bluetooth headset that I got with my copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice recognition software. I have a laptop and a desktop computer, and work on both of them during the day. I wanted to be able to switch from one computer to the other without having to move the USB receiver from one to the other.
When I received the switch, I plugged the USB receiver into the switch, and used two USB cables to connect the switch to the two computers. It worked immediately after Windows had recognized the USB devices.
I am very pleased with this solution and the switch. I never use the button on the top of the switch itself, preferring to press the Scroll Lock key twice (on the computer I want to switch to).

5 comments about PlayStation 2 Extension Cable.
- It does what it says. This cable gave me a good 6 feet of extra space for my controller. Now I don't have to worry about my PS2 falling off of the TV. A good deal.
- these cables work just fine and were a good price. shipping time was what it should have been. only thing is this review page is setup to review it as if it were a game.
- I bought this mainly for guitar hero and a wireless guitar was too risky and expensive. So i bought this cord by Intec for 5 bucks and it works great. no lags and it gives me an extra 6 feet of play. thanks intec!
- The extension cable for the PS2 is required for me. The price was right and the shipping was quick.
- the ps2 extension cable isjust like new very happy with it got he no no time at all thank you for the sale

5 comments about Philips SHE2650/37 Earbuds w/ Case.
- Let's keep it real: these are NOT expensive earphones or earbuds and they come in a storage box [made and meant for human hands, just rubbing it in...] and they sound pretty darn good! Top it off with the fact that they fit quite comfortably [for me, at least], what is there not to be liked about these little wonders? Ah yes, the casing! Well I wind and "unwind" them a couple of times per day with no problemo. I say, I must be a most dexterous genius! BTW, I have the SHE2850, which has a volume control pod, oh horrors...! Not really, as they [wire & pod] usually glide smoothly into the case, if not, I simply pull out a bit and rewind, works everytime. I have big hands and don't like fiddling with small things but they earphones are really not difficult to handle.
Here's how I do it:
To store them [if you haven't smashed the cases already...]: first, put the buds properly in the case and snap it close. Then wind whichever direction you like in a smooth and flowing motion. Don't force it, let it glide in naturally by your winding action. Caution: Never wind the plug into the case, you must be able to see it at the opening of the case [for obvious reasons, it's not meant to go inside if not it will get "itself" jammed].
To "unwind": Keeping the earphones shut in the casing and if you followed the steps above, you will see the plug outside the case [if not, I will lend you my hammmer...], grip hold of the plug and gently pull the wire out, again, in a smooth and flowing movement to unroll, rather than unwind, it. Put them in your ears [... the earphones... not the plug... after removing them from the case... you know what I mean] and enjoy!
Try it!
- Ok, so yeah, the case is impossible to open and definitely takes a hammer. More importantly, I had these headphones for just a couple of months before the left earbud mysteriously shorted out. There is NO damage to the headphones or the cord and I took very good care of them. However, one day the left one simply went out. Perhaps it was an isolated incident, all I know was it was a waste of $10 since I like to hear my music in both ears. Next time I will invest the extra $10 in a pair less likely to short out.
- I bought this item about a month ago.
I was so happy that I finally found cheap earphones that worked very well
However, yesterday the left side just stopped working for no reason at all
and yeah i got so pissed off and I`m looking for new earphones right now
- Just buy them, better yet buy a couple pairs. They sound pretty good, better than the earbuds that came with my ipod that blew, they are dirt cheap, the cord is just the right length, and the case works just peachy if you remember how to do it. I'm happy with them.
- I bought these earbuds after reading the reviews here on Amazon. I broke open the case with a small screwdriver (very easy), plugged them in, and they sounded fantastic. I'm not sure if they are better than the ones that came with my iPod, but there are just as good, and they stay in your ear. Get them.

5 comments about Belkin Remix Metal Case for 80/120 GB iPod classic 6G (Black).
- Even though it says metal case, it is part metal(front) and part plastic(back). However, it's a sleek protection that will protect both your screen and key-pad to the fullest. At the same time, all the plug-ins are fully accessible, even with those accessories without taking the case off. I've used Sony iPod Speaker and Radio system with this case...I couldn't believe when the iPod with case just slide into small grove of that system......Cons: Not for Walking, Jogging, or Running, since case does not have any support for bands or clips. So I would not suggest for athletes or Gym-goers.
Oh, Back plastic cover comes with spare one...so I guess don't worry about breaking it, you at least got an extra one.
I would suggest buying it for it's sleek and smooth look with best protection I have ever seen for any iPod.
- I love Belkin products not only because they tend to look real good but functionally they are great products.
The Remix case for the iPod Classic is what it claims to be: A classy form-fitting hard case for your iPod! It really doesn't get simpler than that! Keeps your iPod safe from nicks, scratches, bumps AND fingerprints. Plus you still have access to all your switches, buttons & jacks. It even has a protective cover over the scroll wheel. How the scroll-wheel can still sense your fingers I have no idea but it works. Initially I couldn't get it to work but I tried lighter circular movements and got the hang of it.
Note: you actually get 1 & a half cases with this product because it consists of the front face plate & a back tray for the 80GB AND a back tray for the 160GB (it being slightly fatter).
I think Belkin is releasing more designs and colors so it will be great to see more of these.
One comment: Although I have no complaints about Amazon's price for this product, I wonder if if would become even cheaper if Belkin sold the 80GB tray separately from the 160GB tray? In any case, this is a great product for people who like form-fitting cases for their iPod.
- This is a good solid case that gives me the feeling that I could hit my Ipod fairly hard with twigs, NERF bats and other solid but nonlethal bludgeoning tools. Scraping objects would pose no threat to the device: I am a saucepan user, and so my house contains clumps of steel wool whose location I keep less than constant track of. My Ipod has nothing to fear from these rogue abraders.
My readiest complaint regards the thin film of rubbery plastic over the scroll wheel. The material does not adhere snugly to the device's surface, and is a poor tactile conductor. I find I cannot move my thumb lightly over the wheel as I might a lover's palm; I have instead to roll the digit clumsily about the touch wheel, making me feel like a shifty-eyed criminal undergoing fingerprint registration. Even then, the player is loathe to accept my commands. I may have to simply remove the insulative membrane, hoping that any dogs that attempt to steal my Ipod grip it by the better-protected screen end.
- Item description: "Belkin Remix Metal Case for iPod Classic 6G"
BUT IT'S PLASTIC, NOT METAL!!!! I was specifically looking for a metal case, but this is all plastic!!! Had I read the Amazon description more carefully, I would have seen "Clear acrylic case with brushed metal detail", but come on, "Metal Case" is false advertising!
- After I lost my ipod pouch, I had to get another way to protect my ipod while *not* listening to it...keys and coins aren't the greatest thing for an ipod screen.
I settled on this Belkin case because it looked pretty good and seemed to offer protection from scratches. When I first got it, I freaked out a little because my 160gb ipod didn't fit. But not to worry, they ship with two back plates, one that fits the 80gb and one that fits the 160gb.
So the good points are: it does its job of protecting the ipod and it's appealing. It is also easy to open/close, in case you want your ipod out.
The negatives: the audio jack opening is a circle a little larger than the size of the headphone interface. While this isn't usually a problem, my car's audio jack cord has a large diameter headphone interface, so it can't seat all the way in. Not a huge problem, since not many headphone jacks are that big.
Another con is the click wheel protection. While I appreciate it and it does still allow click wheel function, some sensitivity is lost. Sometimes the wheel doesn't respond so well to my movements, so I have to spin my fingers around and around the wheel. But it still works, so no big deal.

3 comments about Sony VAIO 11.1-Inch Neoprene protection case.
- I bought VAIO TZ-150N and looked for the pouch from [...].
It ended up more pricey than Amazon, I am glad I got it from here.
It has two way pocket in the front, can fit in the adapter and a mouse inside.
Very portable and good design.
- This sleeve is just perfect for my Vaio TZ. I never leave home without it. It also has a small from pocket that allows you to store the AC adapter if needed. Even with the adaptor on board, things remain elegant and streamlined. I highly recommend this product.
- This case fits like a glove for that small sony VAIO! I love it! it also has two zippers on each end of a side pocket on top of the case so you can keep the core part of the power source in the pocket even when charging. :-) And my ipod also fits in the pocket.
The main zipper only goes halfway down but I like it like that so I can easily slide my laptop into the case. :-)

- Good product works very well with my Garmin 76CSx; no loss of power for some weird reason
- A good plug, but would last longer if it had a rubber boot to cover the connector when not in use.
- Good acquisition. Usefull and convenient. I reccomend it to be used with your GPSMAP 76CSx or similar.
- Works very well and has a long enough cord to reach almost anywhere in the vehicle.

5 comments about SANUS SYSTEMS BF-24B Wood Speaker Stands.
- I bought these stands for about 40% off advertised price through Amazon. They were easy to set up. No problems there. They support my Klipsch SB-3's without a problem. The look is plain, and match the black matte on the speakers, which is what I was going for.
- good product, they go well with my black NHT SB-3's. They come very well wrapped in protecctive packaging with an instruction manual that is decent. The only problem I had was lining up the holes - I missed the first time on one of the legs and it cracked a little so be careful on that !
- I have tall Onkyo speakers out of a package and is very heavy. This product holds that product up very well. The base is weighted so there is no swaying. The only complaint I have is the stubs the product comes with for "added" stability. It doesn't push through in my carpet which is fairly standard carpeting. I don't use them and still have great stability for my heavy front Onkyo speakers. I believe it also came with rubber stoppers to stick to each corner of the bottom of the speaker to add stability to the speaker too. Great product!
- These speaker stands were among the cheapest I found. The material is fairly light but sturdy, and the stands were easy to put together. Before you purchase, make sure to measure out the height of the stands as well as the size of the platform that holds the speaker -- the picture makes the stands seem taller than they are. I am using them to hold the front left and right speakers from an Onyko 7.1 speaker set. The speakers fit almost perfectly, although they are tall and easily able to be knocked off the stand.
My only criticisms is that the plastic snap-on back panels do not fully cover length of stand, letting light shine through the small gap in front where the two angled panels meet. This is a minor flaw and is not very noticeable unless in certain lighting/placement conditions.
- You get what you pay for and I should have saved my money. The fake wood split as I put in a screw following the directions. And the packaging is not friendly to return the item. Junk. Already put in the trash. Just threw my money away on this bad product. Don't waste your money, buy something else.
