5 comments about XTREME TB320DKO 320-CD Koskin CASE.
- I have no major complaints. It's big and it holds all of my dvds. So that's good. I have had minor problems with the zipper and I can foresee future problems with it. I guess you get what you pay for.
- Don't trust the company. You can always see rebate from its products, but you will never get the rebate. Amazon really should remove products from the company.
- I purchased two of these albums. First week: 1st album zipper broke. 3rd week: 2nd album zipper broke. It is impossible to repair. The zipper breaks when one wishes to use the last 5-10 pages. The album strains to open than far. Even with caution the tension separates the zipper. POOR DESIGN!
- Finally a cheap but sturdy case.. I have over 800 movies and i threw out every single original case and decided i was going to have room for all my movies without the clutter. I have spent hundreds trying to find a dvd folder that fits me. thanks etreme

- Very nice leater or fo leather. Very Strong. Very easy to use. Worked well with the other CD cases I use to free up space. U do not like to keep my CD's and DVD's in there boxes because they take up so much space. These cases make everything much easier to get acces to and show if any of my CD's are missing and If I have to leave in a hurry, I know that My entre DVD collection will go with me with ease.

3 comments about Sony 2HD 3.5" IBM Formatted Floppy Disks (25-Pack).
- A lot of work went into puting work on an inexpensive floppy disc and it did not perform, so all of the work was lost and had to be done over. This product has been a never fail disc that I can rely on.
- In spite of the forcasted demise of the floppy drive, there are still too many uses for a floppy disk to do without. Try installing a RAID system without one sometime! These disks are what I needed.
- I received the Sony floppy disks in a very timely manner. Thank you.
For every leading edge, there has to be a trailing edge. That's why I
bought the disks and two floppy disk drives. Besides, the banks still use electronic typewriters since the computers cannot handle their unitary/proprietary forms. The local typewriter repair companies are
doing well handling this need.

5 comments about Creative Docking Station for Zen Vision:M.
- This docking station is a very useful accessory if you are going to connect it to your TV. The Zen I bought came with a station but it doesn't sit the Zen upright like this station does so if it were not for this docking station my Zen would just be laying on top of my TV possibly sliding off every few minutes, which of course not a good thing. Plus it just looks cool standing upright when charging and connected to the TV. The docking station is a very good multifunctional unit that not only stabilizes the Zen but also makes connecting to the PC for file transfers and recharging a breeze. If you got to have the Zen then you got to have the docking station.
- there's a difference in thickness between the 30 gb & 60 gb versions of the vision:M. This only fits the 30 gb, which didn't help my 60gb version. probably a good product, but i'd rather just pick up another key instead.
- The only issue I have with this docking station is that when you disconnect from the computer, it turns the player on. So, if I shut my computer down at night and don't pay attention to my Zen, I will wake up the next morning and instead of being good to go for the day, I'll have a completely drained player that was on all night. That's really annoying. I don't know, maybe it's something I can fix in the settings, but I haven't been able to find it...
- I bought this thinking it included an AC power adapter. Why else would you spend $30 or more on something that offers no additional benefit? This does exactly the same thing that the sync adapter does, and that already comes with the ZEN Vision M! Don't spend your money on this - spend it on the AC cable or AV cable or something else useful!!
- Creative Docking Station for Zen Vision:M
Great product since little else is available to allow the Zen Vision M to connect to anything... I was a bit disappointed to find that I needed a separate power supply when connecting to my stereo... sold separately. This product probably costs $2.00 to build, power supplies are another $3.00... pricey but what choice has Creative left Vision M users... buy an iPod.

1 comments about CAR KIT (BLACK COLOR) - FM Transmitter/ Car Charger and Cradle For Apple iPhone / iTouch MP3 PLayer - W/ PSL Station Lock to reduce drifting- Extra USB charging port for charging cell phone / bluetooth devices ( Includes Bonus USB cable ) ( Will NOT charge Iphone 3G ).
- This FM Transmitter not only allows you to play the ipod through the car radio it also allows you to charge your iPod. The LCD screen makes it sooooo easy to find a matching radio station with a weak signal. You tune your radio until you find a weak station then you press the up or down button on the transmitter to find that matching station. It also comes with a 3 year warranty.
The cradle is a nice feature that gives you a place to dock your ipod
The reason you need to find a weak radio station is so that the transmitter doesn't compete with a strong signal. It is important not to hit the next button on the radio when searching, because that just brings you to the next strongest signal. Use the up or down button on the radio to find a frequency with a weak signal. By the way the PSL ( positive station lock) helps lock the transmitter to the station you have selected when moving around a busy city

3 comments about DURACELL AA24 PROCELL Professional Alkaline Battery (DURACELL AA24PROCELL).
- I've been using 2 of these batteries in my walkman for 10 hours now and they are still going very strong. It's living up to its reputation as described so far.
- I know of these kind of batteries because when I worked a telemetry floor as a nurse and ICU we used them on the patients' portable monitors. They last long and are great!
- These batteries are a very good choice for an inexpensive alkaline. Heavy duty batteries, are not cost effective because although cheaper, they have a very short run time. To get the best bang for your buck, go for alkalines like these.
The "Procell" designation is basically Duracell's way of marking these batteries as ones intended for industrial applications. They make them as a separate line so they won't directly compete with their consumer lines.
My experience is that these batteries do not last quite as long as the top consumer lines from Duracell and Energizer. However, they are within 10-20% (depending on the application), and are considerably cheaper. So, they are much more cost effective.
Unless you are using them in an application where it is difficult to change the batteries, I recommend going with these instead of spending more.

2 comments about Sennheiser Pc156-Usb Over-The-Head Usb Binaural Headset With Large Ear Cups.
- I am a heavy gamer and an appreciator of music. I have been through my share of Logitech, Sony Ericsson, Altec Lansing; Plantronics headsets just to name a few. They all have failed me. After a couple months of daily use they all shorted out. Granted, I do not take very good care of the headsets like I should. I do tend to just pull them off my ears and toss them aside when I stop using them, instead of properly rolling up the cord and putting them away. But I figured what the heck... they are pretty much considered disposable to me.
That was until I purchased my 1st set of Sennheiser Headsets. The quality of these headsets is far superior to any others I have owned in the past...and I have owned quite a few. The ear cups fit comfortably over my ears and I can barley notice they are on my head. The microphone is adjustable and designed perfectly to reduce any noise when adjusting them. The best thing about these headsets is the durability. Like I said before I don't take very good care of my headsets, but these have lasted far longer than any others I have owned in the past. So far I'm going on 8 months and I haven't had one problem at all. Not only is the solid engineering of these outstanding, but the sound quality is superb. They also come with a USB adapter so you can hook them up to almost anything.
I highly recommend this product to anyone who uses and abuses the heck out of their headsets and is tired if them constantly shorting out. Do your self a favor and pay a little more money for a good product like this and you will save money in the long run. A wise man told me once... Good stuff not cheap and cheap stuff not good. So do yourselves a favor and purchase these headsets...you will not be disappointed.
- This headset is more than twice as expensive as comparable headsets from Microsoft and Logitech. The extra money is more than worth it, though - it's in a totally different league from the cheap headsets:
- It's solidly constructed and doesn't fall to bits
- The cable and connectors don't crackle or go intermittent on you
- Sound quality is dramatically better than on the cheap units - you can really enjoy listening to music on these
- People at the other end can hear you clearly without background noise
- You can wear it for hours and it still feels comfortable
This is my third headset. My first headset was a Logitech which started crackling after a few months; my second was a Microsoft LiveChat which was uncomfortable and sounded boxy and muffled. I eventually bought this unit because of the excellent experience I've had in the past with Sennheiser gear.
This headset is fitted with ordinary analog 3.5mm connectors - and comes with a USB adapter (actually a miniature USB sound card). The advantage of using the USB adapter is that you're guaranteed correct gain on the microphone without having to fiddle with settings in the control panel. It also frees up your main soundcard for other uses, such as connecting to your main stereo. The quality of the USB adapter is good - no noise or obvious distortions. A bonus of the USB adapter is that you can use with other headphones or headsets, too.
My Windows XP and Vista machines installed drivers for the USB adapter automatically (no special software was required). The control panel settings on XP for USB sound cards support tone controls (treble and bass) but you won't need them - the headphones have good tonal balance out of the box. The natural deep clean bass you get from headphones such as these beats any compensatory "bass boost".
Sennheiser recommend this headset for hardcore gaming. I use it mainly for internet telephony - Skype is so much more enjoyable with a decent headset! I also use it for listening to music - you won't get a better sound unless you splash out on something like Sennheiser's HD590.
Highly recommended.

3 comments about Tuff Luv Silicone case skin cover "Extra Tough - Double Luv" (Black) + Sportspack Armband - Creative Zen (2GB/4GB/8GB/16GB/32GB).
- Great communication from the vendor. The product works well and looks good. Very sleek and not bulky like other arm bands.
- This Tuff Luv Silicone skin cover is awesome! I'd been searching for one that was sleek yet durable and made specifically for my Creative Zen. I'm very satisfied with it's performance. Easy to insert, easy to remove. The buttons and jacks are still accessible with the cover on. Unfortunately I've dropped mine in the dirt a few times but I just took the cover off, rinsed under water and it was as good as new. I definitely recommend this product and will be buying another for myself as a backup just in case I either lose mine or they stop making them.
- durable cover allows for access while using. converted it to a wristband to use during weight training

5 comments about M-Audio FireWire 410 4-In / 10-Out FireWire Mobile Recording Interface.
- I have bought this m-audio two years ago, it working fine, I use it to D.J. mostly, it's a solid piece of a hardware, well built.
It works fine with XP and Vista (updated driver from website)
- The product worked decently for about 3 months. The mic inputs never sounded great. Suddenly, for no reason, it stopped initializing on startup. Now the extremely bright LED light just blinks. While this is good for party time in the computer room it is not good for recording songs. Buy something more reliable.
- Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R35YXO1N9CWCUC Video review of the M-Audio Firewire 410 WATCH BEFORE YOU BUY!M-Audio FireWire 410 4-In / 10-Out FireWire Mobile Recording Interface
- I've owned one of these for several years. When it works, and for what it works for, it works well. However there are many problems:
1. M-Audio says the device must be first on the Firewire chain (a ridiculous requirement) and that you shouldn't hot-plug it (an absurd restriction).
2. If you do try hot-plugging it and you manage to not burn out your FW interface, as some here have reported has happened, you'll find you need to reboot your machine anyway. Windows will not recognize this device upon hot plugging, only when it reboots. I've had many other Firewire devices and this is the only one that behaves this way.
Any Firewire device that can't be hot plugged, to say nothing of one that shouldn't be hot plugged, is "broken as designed." M-Audio has no business selling any such gadget, and the FireWire consortium or whatever it is that controls that trademark should have forbidden M-Audio to use the "FireWire" name and logo on this product.
3. S/PDIF coax input basically doesn't work. Sometimes it locks to the incoming signal, sometimes not. If it does lock it usually doesn't stay locked for long. Yes, I've tried different settings of the sync source and rate. It doesn't help.
4. S/PDIF optical input isn't much better. Even through a mere six foot Toslink cable. This is, btw, with other S/PDIF devices that work fine with everything else.
5. As someone else noted, that assignable knob on the front panel sometimes -- often -- loses its assignment, and you have to go into the control panel software and re-assign it. Needless to say this is a PITA.
M-Audio should have recalled these devices and given (yes, GIVEN) all owners an updated version that fixes these problems.
- I'm changing my review from 1 star to 3 stars.
Now that my 410 is working, it's great, but it doesn't get better than 3 stars because of all the problems I had in getting it there.
This is what I said before it was fixed:
"I've tried getting this blasted thing to work for the past 9 months, hoping a new driver would magically fix the problem. All I get is a blue blinking light. I've read all the online advice. Nothing works, including my 410. Stay away from this product."
I went back and forth with the M-Audio tech support in order to get this thing to go. The bottom line is this: The 410 is a good product when it's set up correctly, but it is really particular about how it's set up.

2 comments about CleanDr 60107 01 LCD/Plasma Screen Cleaner.
- Wonderful stuff - as a service center for multiple laptop manufacturers we run across some pretty bad screens and this stuff has never faltered in removing the grime and dust. Smells great too!
- I thought that the cleaning solution I had before this was good but the CleanDr is something no person that claims to love their electronics should be without. I used this on my LCD monitor and I could not believe it. The darn thing looked brand new! My family thought I was nuts because I was going around the house cleaning any LCD screen I could find and I even cleaned an old CRT TV with it! I will never use something that isn't a polymer blend cleaner on computer monitors or LCD TV's again. It brings them back to what they should be so that when you see whatever it is your viewing, be it a movie or a document your working on, there is not a single thing getting in your way. No scratches, no smudges, no fingerprints. Nothing but a clear screen!
