5 comments about Memorex 16X DVD-R (100-Pack Spindle).
- I love Memorex DVD-R next to Sony DVD-Rs these are awesome! I burn tons of data on to DVDs as a computer Tech (customer backups, My own backups, and pictures for my family). I will tell you I verify all DVDs after writing them. Memorex offers a pretty muted nice surface for Sharpies, and I find an average of only 7 bad Discs which 7% is a very good for 100 DVD-Rs.
- The DVD's are great.
Unfortunately, Amazon shipped them basically as a loose spindle in a large box, they were broken open and scattered about the box by the time I got them. Some have failed to burn on this set for my first time ever with this specific DVD.
- I use these to record a radio show each weekday. I have been doing it for for over five months now and have had zero problems with them. Plus, the sound quality I get is perfect. This is a great deal for a quality product. If you need DVDs, buy these!
- I have two different 16x burners with the latest firmware that can only burn this media at 4X. Very dissapointing as every other brand I have tried burned at least over 8X.
- At an amazing price, these DVD's are a great investment. Instead of purchasing 50 DVD's for $24, I researched a little more and was able to get double for only $3 more. What a great deal!

5 comments about Sony 3" Rewritable DVD+RW for Camcorders - 3pk.
- I bought a Sony DVD Video Recorder for a Christmas present. These are the only ones that work well with the recorder.
- Excellent price for this product; 40% less than retail price in stores, even with shipping charge.
- I agree with the previous reviewer. These DVD+RW disks are "the Dickens" to unwrap. I thought I could just cut along the edge and remove the disk, but NOOOOO, the plastic wrapping it seems was applied with heat to the 3 individual disk containers, which then again were shrink-wrapped with another layer of plastic. During the process, the plastic's molecular structure must have "affinitized" with the other layers of plastic covering, because instead of peeling the covering off in one piece of plastic, the plastic covering (first the 3-pack covering which covers all 3 disks) tears off in little pieces (not as a whole plastic covering), and then the individual disks themselves are shrink-wrapped, and they, too, do the same think. Talk about getting your consumers frustrated. These do work the best in my Sony HDR-UX10 and I give them 5 stars for performance and quality, but give them 1 star for the inconvenience of unwrapping the product. Just another unnecessary headache that Sony has created for its customers.
- I was disappointed the disks did not work in the earlier Handycams. It would be helpful to customers to highlight this fact in the product information.
- We recorded onto these disks and the video looks great. It doesn't take up space like the larger disks and works great for my new camcorder. It was easy to record to and compatible with my computer and dvd player. I bought two 3 packs.

5 comments about Belkin Sports Sleeve for iPod nano 1G, 2G (Black).
- This is about as good an arm band for a first and second generation Nano as we're going to get.
It's very comfortable, and I'm fussy. I never did find the little clear plastic screen cover that everyone says to not throw away. But then, I forgot about that and threw the box away. I went after it again in the trash but to no avail. I'll just take care of the screen like I always did to protect it from scratches. The entire case cover is made of a perfectly formed, yet pliable rubber. Not too hard, and not too soft. You'll never have to take it out of the case again because you can charge the battery with it on. You won't even want to take it off.
It truly is a perfect arm band holder for runners or gym people. I've lifted weights and done many handstands with this thing on, and don't even know it's there. The band itself has a bit of elasticity which was a very pleasant surprise to me. They can't improve on this, it's just right.
- The sleeve for the ipod is nice and comes with a screen cover, but the arm band doesn't adjust to become small enough for my small, feminine arm.
- I love this product. It is wonderful when I exercise. I like it much better than clipping my ipod on my shorts..
- This design is sleek and not at all uncomfortable to wear. It includes a screen protector which you'll miss if you're not looking for it.
- Just needed a way to keep my iPod secure while running. This does that just fine, fits fine too. Didn't need the screen protector since I already had an invisishield. I took off a star because when you have the case on, it will not fit in the Apple iPod dock.

5 comments about Fujifilm Media 25367101 Empty Color Slim Jewel Cases - 100 Pack.
- This is a standard slim case, of standard quality. Nothing negative or positive to say, it does the job it is meant to do, has little clips in front so you can slide a cover if you want, the colors are bright but inoffensive. My main comment is that, at $15 and change for 100 qty., this is an exceptional value!
- These slim jewel cases by Fuji provide sturdy protection for CDs; but they can also store DVDs as well as CD-Rs, DVD-Rs, and more! I have been fortunate in that the cases I bought never cracked when I tried to open them. Could that be because I'm a 90 pound weakling? SMILE Well, I doubt it--I think these are well constructed. They hold together for years at a time and that's great.
Moreover, these slender jewel cases provide excellent storage for media and they measure roughly half the width of the older, original jewel cases that seem far too wide and "fat" today. You can stick a "post-it" note to the front of the jewel case to indicate what's on the disc inside, too.
Moreover, these jewel cases are affordable--and that's great in these times. Each case costs roughly 16 cents which is great considering how long these will last for you. These jewel cases can be storing discs on bookshelves, cabinet shelves or whatever. They are not ugly, either. In fact, they come in several different colors including red, yellow and blue. You can use these colors to categorize types of media so you don't have to hunt endlessly for the type of media you're looking for.
Overall, I highly recommend these CD/DVD jewel cases for anyone who wants compact yet sturdy storage for their media. I feel badly for those reviewers who had some damaged cases in their shipment; but my shipment came completely intact. Use these in good health!
- The product is alright for what it costs, but I am really pissed by the packaging department. This item comes wrapped in brown paper instead of bubble wrap and at least 10 to 15 of the cases end up broken. I complained and the Amazon Customer Service people worked it out with me, but I STILL want for purchasers of this product to complain to customer service if you order this item and they come broken. That is the ONLY way something will be done about this Bad Wrapping.
- This is a real deal - rather a "steal", for the price I paid ($15.74). I combined it with other items and got it as a free shipping.
Kudos Amazon for doing a great job in packing (enough of crushed paper cushion) and sending it through UPS. I opened the pack and checked all the jewel cases and guess what... not even a single breakage.!! Thanks to Amazon's shipping folks, who knows how to pack fragile items.
About the quality of the Fiji Slimline CD cases, they are good, worth every dollar you spent on them. No regrets and no problems. I do not have to buy CD jewel cases, may be for the next 2 years. Thanks Fiji and thanks Amazon.!!
- The product is great. And if I can get 100 of them to me all in one piece that would make it even better. I use a lot of these as I am an rising artist. But when I order 600 of them, at least 75-100 of them come broken. Shipping is a problem. Sometimes, I get 99% whole. Other times, 90% whole, 10% broken. Please place more packing material inside the boxes, NOT BROWN PAPER. Brown paper does not stop the cases from breaking!!!!

5 comments about Sabrent USB-DSC5 Serial ATA or IDE 2.5-/3.5-Inch to USB 2.0 Cable Converter Adapter with Power Supply.
- No, it's not pretty, but who cares. USB hard drive was immediately recognized. It works.
- It was a very usefull adapter, thnks im very satisfied with the product.
I recomended.
- Product works great. Don't use it much but I work on peoples computers so it is nice to pull information off of it for them.
- Seamless transfers...no problems with product use on Windows Vista with transfers from old XP and W2K hard drives.
- I've owned laptop unpowered cases before but my computers always recognized them as mass storage devices and not hard drives, making it difficult to clone hard drives for upgrades using Acronis True Image. This however works great for that purpose. It was plug it in and no problems, very simple to use.

5 comments about Sony Rechargeable AAA 900 mAh NiMH Batteries.
- From what I can tell, these last nearly as long as alkaline batteries in remotes and wireless mice. Plus, they seem to hold a charge if they're charged up but not used right away.
- I bought these to charge in the Sony charger and AA betteries which powers my camera and my alarm clocks. It is great to take them on a trip and they work great (they last). Excellent buy for me, and the price was very right as well.
- Bought these for two cordless phone handsets to replace the original batteries that lasted for a year. These would no longer take a charge after four months. I am currently shopping for another set.
- This is a very good product. First time I had purchased it a year ago. Its still working fine. So recently i got one more set of 4 AAA cells. I normally use it with my MP3 player and other electronic equipments.
- THEY ARE GOOD AT 900MAH
BUT A
1000MAH BATTERY IS BETTER

5 comments about Stereo Earbud Headphone for Apple iPod nano/ iPod mini/ iPod video/ iPod shuffle.
- These headphones are absolutely horrible and I totally hate them. They are the most uncomfortable things in the world
- I can't imagine why anyone would buy headphones that even look like the ones that come with an iPod. The iPod ones SUCK. Probably the crappiest headphones I've ever used... I'm just saying...
- The item that is given to you is not at all what the picture is. You expect the quality iPod earphones, but what you get are cheap imitations. For $5, it's definitely worth it, but with the shipping, it costs nearly $10. I never used the earphones because they were terrible and fell apart the next day. I never bothered returning them because they aren't worth my time.
If you want cheap, temporary earphones, I don't even suggest this. There are much better earphones that cost about the same for a better quality.
- I bought this set of headphones for 6 reasons:
1) To replace several older sets of headphones.
2) Because the DO NOT TANGLE UP.
4) To replace headphones on my MP3 players and also on my CD/MP3 players.
5) Great price.
6) To have on hand extra replacement headphones for my players.
Now that I have listened to this set here is my review:
PROS:
1) For the money a GOOD QUALITY SOUND on treble and bass.
2) This set produces a 90% loud sound upon use. I have my own system that I use to determine the LOUDNESS quality of a headphone set. What I mean it that when I use this set, I place my volume on my player at about 45% and then multiplied this by 2 and this is how I got my 90%. A PERFECTLY LOUD sounding headphones would be a 100% LOUD SOUND by the volume being at 33% divided multiplied by 3, then it would equal 100% LOUD.
3) A perfect set to use as AN EXTRA SET for kids, or when you travel, etc.
4) The price is the biggest reason to buy this set.
CONS:
1) Not as good as the SONY Headphones on Amazon a 100% LOUDNESS and more because it reason, I gave this set an overall 4 in my score.
2) Fairly well made for the money, however, I do not feel that these will last as long as the SONY Headphones will over time. This is why I suggest using this set as an EXTRA set, not your BEST SET.
*If price is your main motivation, buy these for the sound is good and better than I expected.
**If price in NOT your main motivation, I suggest you buy the Sony Headphones similar to these as on Amazon, they are just 9.99!
- These are NOT the original apple earbuds but rather a cheap Imitation with high noise levels. What's more if 4.99 shipping, and if you buy several sets they will charge you shipping for EACH and then package it together. Nothing but a bad ripoff, be warned!

5 comments about Playstation 3 Component AV Cable.
- first off thank you Amazon for having this product for sale and thank you again for your SUPER FAST SHIPPING. these cables do give you a better image than the cables that come inside the PS3 box. they give u sharper and cleaner look on your tv.
- Go with HDMI or DVI-HDMI if you can. PS3 can not upconvert dvds through this cable, it can only upconvert through the hdmi.
I actually had a difficult time getting this cable to work with my tv. I have an older Samsung hdtv which doesn't allow 480i in at the component connectors. As such, it took a while to adjust the video settings on the PS3. The second problem was when I went to play an old dvd, it wouldn't play on the tv because of the same 480i issue. Since component cables are not allowed to carry upconverted signals, the signal from old dvds is 480i, which doesn't make much sense with getting a PS3 to act as a BluRay, and I assume your only dvd, player.
So my old hdtv has DVI in but no HDMI, so I went with a cheap DVI-HDMI cable from Amazon, and that solved my problems. The audio is routed through the RCA stereo plugs, but one could also use the optical out for audio. DVI does not carry audio signals like HDMI does.
I am no longer using this cable.
- I have been using my composite cables that came with my PS2 ever since I bought it. When one of the audio cables stopped working, I decided to grab these Component AV Cables instead. DEFINITELY the right decision.
THe quality when watching DVDs is outstanding, and I've noticed an overall sharpness in my games. The plugs are very sturdy, even more so than the launch cables. If you are in the market for PS2 AV cables, skip the composite ones and go with these component cables!
- This $20 cable is well worth its price. I added it to my Playstation 3 on a standard definition tv and it looks amazing. No more little fuzzy words or anything like that, everything is much sharper and its definately easier on the eyes. If you don't have an hd tv and you have a PS3 you have to get this cable.
- This cable can also be used on DVD players with component hook-ups also to ease the pain.

5 comments about Belkin Sport Armband for iPod touch (Black/Gray).
- Just one complaint is that it barely fits around my bicep. I'm not the biggest guy in the world, but I do have larger biceps (sorry, i'm not the kind of guy who measures his biceps) - and this barely fits me. Otherwise, it's ok.
- This is a very helpful item, when you want to go and run, or do some exercises, but, its belt is very short, so if you have a big arm you will fill it like very tight. The company should do this item in different sizes.
- I purchased this item with my ipod touch and the edges of it started to come apart as soon as I put the ipod into it. The edges are glued together and the quality isn't so great. Maybe it was just this one that I purchased or maybe it because of the size of my arms. This item would be great if it was of better quality.
- Cons:
1.The band is not overly large as some others have stated. It barely makes my arm. If you are overweight or a big powerlifter look elsewhere.
2.I find the screen plastic too think to very easily change songs or, especially, change the volume.
3. Although the picture looks like it would be a plastic like material it is a synthetic cloth that does absorb sweat. So after a while I expect this to begin to smell a bit rank without washing. I know it states it is neoprene in the description but I didn't know what that was.
Pros:
1. It holds the iPod in on my arm and does not slip or move.
- Bought for 16G ipod touch. Use for jogging and biking 5-6 days per week for 2 months now. Has held up great, no rips or wear noticed yet. Holds in place on arm great. Holds ipod great too. Key holder is nice touch. I have average arm size. Arm band is long enough to go around bulky sweatshirt sleeve if kept closer to elbow. Thought I would have issues with hole for earphones prying audio jack out of receptacle but has not been a problem. Touch screen and menu button work fine through plastic window.
Negatives: I stick my license in behind ipod just in case. One time license kept "climbing" out for some reason. Never happened again. Also, plastic window tends to peel any screen protectors off.

5 comments about JBL - On Stage II - Speaker and Docking Station for iPod« (Black).
- I thought it was just going to be a decent buy, but this is a lot better sound quality than I thought it was going to be. It is simply awesome. I'm going to buy another one for my wife.
- When I originally purchased this item I thought it would be a step up from the JBL On Stage which I purchased at Costco. Well, unfortunately that was not the case. Both the On Stage and On Stage II DO NOT charge your iPod. And I was more impressed with the remote function on the On Stage versus the remote which came with this On Stage II. I basically returned this item and went to Best Buy to purchase the On Stage III which does charge my iPod. This is not a bad product, just didn't like the lack of functions on the remote and that it doesn't charge the iPod.
- I highly recommend these speakers! Great for traveling or poolside. The remote is the best feature! A must have ipod accessory!
- A marca JBL é realmente extraordinária, o som deste Docking Station é muito bom e além da facilidade de tranporte para qualquer lugar. Eu recomendo !!!
- Honestly, it took about 10 minutes (mostly extracting the unit from the packaging) to determine this was a return item. If you have decent ears, you'll probably be disappointed. Poor bass, mushy sound. Not recommended.
