4 comments about Garmin compatible PC Interface Data Cable for eTrex Legend Venture Vista Mariner, eMap, Geko (Vista, Legend, etc.).

1. Working as well than the Garmin cable at 40$ in stores.



2. I bought this to use with my Garmin Geko 201 - works great with a USB to serial adapter, and Garmin's Mapsource software. I do occasionally have to reboot my PC to get it to get everything to work - but I think that's just windows, or the usb/serial adapter's drivers - not the cable.
   
   It is a little tight going on and off the GPS - the official Garmin cable may be tight as well - just make sure you push it on all the way when using it. And - my Geko 201 has a little rubber flap that protects the contacts - I accidently ripped it off the very first time I was removing this cable! Dumb! My fault - not the cable's - maybe Garmin's for not providing a better cover - but I was able to re-attach the rubber flap with some electrical tape.
   
   Anyway, the cable works great.



3. I use this cable to download information from my garmin e-trex, and I use trackmaker fot it, they works fine together.



4. I bought this cable along with a "USB to Serial DB9 (RS232) Adapter Cable (Garmin compatible)" from the same seller, Navsphere, to use with an Etrex and a very nice Mac app called GPSNavX. Taken together, the two cables are rather bulky - a straight Garmin-to-USB cable would be a preferable alternative, but that doesn't exist, so with that mild reservation, I'm happy. Navsphere was quick and fuss-free to deal with, so the whole experience has been positive.

4 comments about Panasonic AY DVM83PQ - Professional Quality - Mini DV tape - 10 x 83min.

1. I have encountered no dropped frames or pixels with this product and I like the extra 23 minutes of recording per tapes. It comes in handy for performances that may take a break in less than 80 minutes.



2. These slightly longer mini dv tapes are very good. I video tape our church services in an Assembly of God Church, and the services can go to two-plus hours at times. I switched over to 80 minute tapes at first,and was able to get 2 hours on a tape. But these 83 minute tapes will "Long Play" at 2 hours and about 6 minutes, just enough of an edge to get that slightly longer service if needed. It's a comfort to know I have a margin of a few more minutes to fall back on. I see no quality difference in the longer tapes either, so I would recomend getting some for the times you need that extra few minutes.



3. These tapes are good high quality tapes if you are lloking to buy some. I like the freedom 83 minutes gives me. I have a Panasonic Camera and I try to buy Panasonic tapes to avoid reports of what I have heard of people using many different brands and having the different tape make ups actually gum up the camera. These are great tapes so far. Time will tell how well they hold up.



4. These are hard to find. Good to know someplace to get them from. Gives up to 2 hours recording time on my camera.

1. This is just a product that works as expected. Never buy a special brand cable from a bestbuy or .... For digital systems the cable does not need to be gold plated! Any un-know brand would work at 1/10 of the price otherwise you may pay at a store.

5 comments about Fellowes Body Glove 17" Neoprene Notebook Sleeve Fits up to 15.4" Laptops (Model 97763).

1. My laptop is a Sony Vaio 15.4" and this sleeve didn't fit it wide wise ... lenght wise was okay. I was very disappointed. I thought on returning it, however, I really needed one for my trip two days later so I went to Best Buy and found one that fitted it perfectly for the same price and this one was even better - with handles included. So instead of returning it I will give it to a friend who has a 13" Mac laptop.



2. I ordered the sleeve so I could place my Dell 820 in it to transport on the back of my motorcycle. After months of use, no problems whatsoever and I would recommend it highly.



3. I bought it for my 13.5" Sony VIAO Laptop. It's too big, there is an inch left horizontally. I read the review before buying and some suggested the 17" for a 13.5 saying the 15" was too small. I see that 15" would have been too small. I bought it so I can put my laptop in my backpack for traveling, it fits in it vertically. The sleeve zipper opens horizontally. The sleeve is fine, it does what it should, protect the laptop. There is inside pockets for large items, magazines, sheets... small objects like CD, pens... just gets lost in it. I didn't like the sleeve for flying. At security they want the laptop out of the sleeve. The zipper does not un-zip through the sides so I had to take out the entire sleeve from the backpack to take the laptop out. If the zipper was zipping through the extremities to remove only the laptop, I would have liked it better. Because, when you slide the sleeve back into your backpack its fabric against fabric and it just doesn't slide down easily. I didn't need this extra-step at security!



4. It is a Snug Fit for my Dell D531 Latitude,it has Great face and back padding but almost NO Edge or Corner protection what so ever, as for the metal logo? This version that I have received, in no way can I foresee damaging the laptop inside short of a impact Great enough to damage with or without said logo. My suggestion to the manufacture is to Greatly increase the edge and corner padding and to substantially lower the price.



5. This Neoprene Notebook Sleeve is a sleek product that will comfortably fit your laptop up to 15.4". It is stylish and provides more than adequate production without having to carry around a bulky laptop bag. Also, it includes an inside pocket great for storing your power cord or other accessories. It fits well into a backpack for convenient carrying and is a great value for the price.

1. Great item for the price. FREE shipping a plus and it was delivered pretty quick. Kudos

5 comments about Sony SB-V40S A/V Selector with S-Video or Composite Video Connections.

1. I am a lover of old school consoles. The Sony Selector made it easy to connect all my gaming systems into one port on the back of my Sony television, making it much easier to go from game to game.



2. The video switch showed up quickly and was easy to install. I now have a VCR, DVD, N64 and WII all connected through one video input on the TV. Switching back and forth between components is quick and easy. Good Product.



3. This switch is easy to use, and very durable. I've had one attached to a TV that is used heavily by a bunch of kids for years, and it still works! I'm buying a second one for another TV. Highly recommended, no need to spend more.



4. The product met my fundamental requirement of being able to switch mechanically (electronically would have been better) multiple S-Video/Sound sources. I did NOT measure signal loss, but, there is certainly no perceptible degradation of video/sound quality.



5. It does what it's supposed to do. Get this one if you need it.

5 comments about Built NY E-LT15D07 Laptop Case with Removable Sleeve (7-Dot).

1. This product is great for toting around your laptop, cords, and other items. The material has some "give" to it, so that you can fit all of your items in, but it never stretches out. The sleeve, though it can be removed, is more effective if you leave it in the bag, using it as a divider/organizer in the bag.
   
   The sleeve is hard on one side to provide stability to the bag and soft on the other side so that it fits and securely holds all types of laptops. On the soft side are two large stretchy pockets, perfect for holding cords, and a smaller stretchy pocket, nice for holding a cell phone.



2. great bug, prefer it was little bigger, we use it for Lenovo 12" size, the room for the accessories (power supply, notebook, wallet) is a bit limited.
   Good purchase!



3. Overall I like the bag, so I gave it 4 stars.
   
   But I'm VERY disappointed that there is no padding on the shoulder strap. With the weight of the laptop and supplies, it tends to dig into my shoulder. It has a nice handle, but I so often throw my bags over my shoulder to keep my hands free. I hope they consider adding one to future bags.



4. disappointing. the inside pouch for the computer is not protective enough and fits too tight to my 15'' macbook pro. the dots printed are a bit amateur for my taste it doesn't look very cool and high priced bag. the shoulder strap is not that comfortable, no cushion for the shoulder to handle the weight. the overall is not a very pretty nor comfortable bag.



5. I'll start by saying I really like this bag and after a lot of debate decided to keep it. The major issue I have with this bag is its size. The specs on this bag claim that it will hold up to a 15 inch laptop. It does but just barely. While the bag can hold a 15 inch laptop, the zipper appears to be a 14 inch zipper. Each time I put my computer in the bag I have to jiggle and stretch the bag to get my computer into it. That said, I really like the material, the feel of the bag and the overall look. It is attractive and fun.

5 comments about Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 Pro Earphones (Clear).

1. I'm pretty picky about what I use to listen to music... I used to have the Sennheiser PX100's and the problem with those is that they require some serious equalization when listening to an ipod. Problem? Ipod's equalization is horrible.
   
   Well these UE Super.fi 5 Pro's require absolutely no equalization for portables, and sound brilliant. I've owned a set of these before, but they were never available in black until now. Thats not the only change though--
   
   My favorite update is the case. It came with a case before, but it was too frustrating to fit the phones inside! There was a rubber separator and I guess you were supposed to fit the cord through the bottom half, and then rest the earphones on the top half... *sigh*.
   
   This NEW case seems larger, if only because it doesn't have that barrier in the middle. Its also lined with a soft microfiber fabric.
   
   I've run into ONLY ONE issue, and its a small one-- If you are using these with a PC with built-in motherboard sound, these phones are so sensitive that you will hear motherboard noise (for instance, when you move your mouse or click a button you can hear faint hums and buzzes, choreographed to your movements).
   
   I recommend buying a PCI-card with a good Signal-to-Noise ratio.



2. I just got these things...haven't even looked at the book yet...just opened them up and plugged them into my Iphone 3G and WOW....great sonic impact...a lot of punch to my music. I am very satisfied and what's really cool is the volume is much higher without turning it up real loud...halfway to full volume is loud on my Iphone...never could get it loud enough even at full volume with the Apple (junk) earphones that come with the Iphone. I didn't plan on spending this much for earphones but if you use them a lot and appreciate great sound from your music equipment, these shouldn't be a second thought. Dual drivers sound way better than the single drivers found on the similarly priced Shure models. Don't know how durable they are but time will tell. I listen to a lot of older Billy Joel (Turnstiles, The Stranger, Piano Man album) and these songs really come to life with these earphones. Using these earphones is like listening to your music on a high qualilty home stereo whereas the standard earphones that come with the Apple Iphone sound tinny. Another thing is that even at loud volumes for an extended period of time, my ears didn't hurt or ring afterwards (maybe because the sound is clean compared to junk earphones). I think the ear loops are a great thing as they hold them to your ears more securely. Just bend them enough to mold to your size of your ear and you really don't have to do it again. The only thing is that putting the earphones in the square case that comes with them is great for protection and taking them on the go, you have to really wind them up small to fit them in it and when you take them out again to use, you sort of have to re-bend the loops to fit your ears. Not sure how that will hold up but they do have a two year warranty...the Triple Fi 10's (another Ultimate Ears model) only come with a one year warranty. I can't imagine anyone not liking these earphones (the Super Fi 5 Pro's) unless you just can't get used to the loops going behind and over your ears...it is a different method than most others but once you get that figured out, the music is GREAT !!!



3. Excellent sounding headphones! Powerfull, hard and deep bass, very loud and gratifying trebles even at high levels. Sometimes a little uncomfortable by wearing. Nevertheless I highly recommend this headphones! :)



4. After purchasing this product I was dismayed that the standard flanges didn't fit me, that's when I tried the foam ones and they worked! They created a good seal in my ear and were comfortable. Listeining to some music I was very satisfied on how the sound was reproduced. Bass was there and it wasn't booming or thumpy. Middle range and high were crisp and clear. I guess it all comes down to the quality of your music collection, low bit mp3 will come through on these audiophile level earbuds. So make sure your music collection is up to par.



5. These are the best headphones I have ever owned. I've been able to stack them up against the Shure's some friends of mine own and we all agree the Ulimate Ears are the best. Money well spent.

5 comments about TDK 4X DVD-RW 8CM 1.4 GB DVD-RW 3 Pack in Jewel Case.

1. Bought these for use with my Canon DC-40 camcorder. Compatible and works fine without any issues.



2. These discs are great for quickly storing something on your PC. You can store 30 minutes of high quality DVD video on these and they are always ready when you need them. When you are done with the video or data you can just erase and use them for something else. If you are really into sitcoms and use your PC to record television, these are perfect for quick back-ups. They also work great in video dvd players once you have quickly transfered your video to them. They also work great for backing up songs you have purchased online or documents you need to put on the shelf for a while.



3. I have a Canon DC50 camcorder. These disks work great in the camcorder and in my Sony Bravia DVD player. Good price/Quality product.



4. The DVD-RW worked great with my new Canon 310 camcorder but, the recorder kept putting up a message that the disk May not be Compatible?



5. It works fine on my Canon camcorder. Some times I can feel the vibrations of the DVD while holding the camcorder.

2 comments about Targus Blacktop Deluxe 17 Laptop Case w/ Dome Protection CPT401DUS.

1. My title pretty much says it all, I got this case a few days ago and absolutely LOVE it's design and the fact that it fits a 17" widescreen notebook without having to cram the laptop into the case! The velcro insert can be moved to make more space to accommodate the larger laptops. I love the seperate mesh zippered pouch for the power pac, it has lots of built in pouches and mesh pockets for cell phone, mp3 player, chargers and holds 5 cds or dvd's, has another zippered file folder for papers or books, another large compartment under the flap for pens and storage and then two more compartments on each side of the outer sides. I transferred everything from my overstuffed old bag to this case and you would think with all of those compartments it would be bulky and hard to handle, but nothing could be farther from the truth. Even with a 17" notebook everything is so compact and well organized it's still easy to carry and maneuver. This is a great "take on the plane" case because it fits easily under the seat. So durable and well made, Targus is now my laptop bag and case of choice. Definetly worth the price with the free super shipping!



2. For a 17" laptop be carefull. The pics. depict a smaller laptop. With a larger 17" laptop, there is no room in the body of the case to store the power brick charger. Just received case and trying to decide what to do with the power suppy brick. Concerned if I place it on top of computer, case may bulge. For that matter wherever I stick the power supply, the case may bulge. Taking another look at the leather Targus to see if it will provide more space for power supply and will return this one.
