The perfect solution for the everyday commute. Travel by bike, auto, plane or train, the Velo completely organizes even the most complicated day. Main fabric: 300D water-resistant micro ripstop polyester. Lining: STM plush power corduroy lining. Laptop space: 13.2 x 9.6 x 1.6 Inches/33.5 x 24.5 x 4 cm. External bag dimensions: 18.5 x 13.8 x 6.7 Inches/47 x 35 x 17 cm. Weight: 2.4 lbs/1.1 kg
Well put together. Looks great, functions so well. Its a 5 star bag. It safely carries my 17 inch laptop, tablet, kindle, and droid. Holds all my tech, purse contents, and study stuff so easy. It also holds all my diabetic supplies and water. This bag rocks.
Sturdy, well-made, lots of pockets. My only complaint is that it's a little on the heavy side, even when empty.
I dont know how many PC bags I have bought over years. 25? 35? And never found the perfect one - until now! It simply have all the pockets I need. And easy access to my MacBook Air and my iPad in the side pocket. Easy access to my "Road Warrior" kit like adapters, cables and such things. I simply love this bag!

Ordered the radio for my BOAT. Arrived as expected. Looked at face plate...the cover over the USB port is a flimsy piece of plastic...so I thought...'how could this be waterproof/resistant?' Before installing, I emailed Kenwood. Here is their response: "The KMR-355U is coated to help prevent corrosion from humid areas like the marine environment. The radio is not protected from direct exposure to water." Well...if it is NOT protected from water, it sure isn't designed for a boat. I returned it.I have since ordered a more expensive version of the Kenwood line...KMR-700. It is supposed to be water-tight.
Installed this in the cuddy on my Seacraft and it sounds great! I like how I can control the songs from the Ipod when using a USB. Most the car radios make you use the receiver. Think I might pick another one up for the truck.
Installed it in my pontoon boat and tried it for the first time yesterday. Love the USB port! Plugged a thumb drive in and it played perfectly! Great price and quick delivery for a radio with this many features. Very happy with my purchase.

Features:

Full disclosure: I purchased this product direct from Mophie. As a battery pack, it's great. As a phone case it has serious problems. As a Mophie battery pack and iPhone case, frankly, I expected better.Firstly, and most damningly, the case interferes with phone communication. I don't know what they did, but they seem to have covered over the microphone. Every telephone conversation since I put the case on the phone has involved the person on the other end complaining that they couldn't hear me. Since finding this out, I'm reducing my rating to two stars.Secondly, it takes a couple of minutes just to get the case onto the phone. I don't mind rubber cases, but getting this on is ridiculously finicky and time-consuming - and that's once you figure out how to get the inner cover apart (it comes pre-assembled and there are no instructions as to how to open it). Sure, you don't have to put it on more than once, but surely it shouldn't need to be this difficult -...
Let me start off by saying I love this case. The only flaw is of course that it is a phone case that ruins its use as a telephone. Without tearing down the case itself (and ruining the other features), as others here have suggested, the voice quality as others hear you when making a call is like a kidnapper's phone call in a movie. You sound fuzzy, far away and modulated.I got a refund from Mophie, it was the only option they gave me. I tried contacting customer service a number of times about updates to the design to resolve the fatal flaw, but they did not give me an answer. I got the run around and it was as though I was emailing an auto-reply. The response I received may have been avoiding making a statement about a flawed product, but the real mistake is that I LOVE THIS CASE- AND I WILL NOT BUY ONE AGAIN, simply because this was mishandled so badly.I really, honestly wish this phone case worked as a -phone- case and not just an amazing, rugged,...
Update 1/25/2013This case is still working perfectly. I haven't noticed any change in battery life, as after a full day's useI usually still have at least two lights showing. The case does a magnificent job protecting the iPhone, and the SGP glas.t has been the best screen protector I've ever used. It's still in great shape with not scratches or bubbles showing. The case has more than enough juice for the iPhone battery, and it hasn't run out for the iPhone battery to kick in EVEN ONCE. I'm looking forward to seeing what Mophie develops for the iPhone 5 as far as battery cases, because this one is definitely top of the line.Update 7/14/2012So far so good. The case is rugged and holds up EXTREMELY well. As far as thickness, I like something to hold on to when I use my iPhone, and this adds a nice grippable case that is easy to use. All of the external buttons on the case work perfectly. I've had no sound issues or camera issues with the case on the...

I cracked my IPhone 4 and I was so glad that I had purchased the insurance. I placed my claim, forwarded the necessary proof of purchase, received confirmation from Square Trade to take my phone into the Apple store for a replacement phone. The replacement price was $199 and once I was able to fax over a receipt for the new phone, Square Trade transferred $199 into my Pay Pal account. I received the money a couple of days after faxing over the receipt. I had a chose of having the money transferred on to my Amazon account, Pay Pal account, or a physical check mailed to me. I am glad that I purchased the insurance and I would recommend that others purchase insurance to protect their investment.
I had a two year warranty on my iPhone 4 and after about a year and a half my home button didn't always work when I pushed it. I dealt with it for a while but decided to file a claim since I paid for the warranty. I will say that everything was relatively painless through Squaretrade's website, from filing the claim to keeping track of its progress. I received an email almost instantly that my claim was approved and that a replacement iPhone was on its way next day air. However, I was charged the $50 deductible (for accidental coverage). I called and the CS rep reversed that right away for me, stating that the home button issue was a hardware problem, not an accident. I received the replacement the following day. Again, it was painless.I activated the new phone and realized that it made a horrible rattling sound when it vibrated, it sounded like something inside was loose. Putting pressure on the back of the phone stopped the rattling. I called Squaretrade back,...
Wonderful company! Been customer for years. I have over 15 items worth more than $400 each, even my treadmill, insured with SquareTrade and they have outstanding customer support and actually deliver on their word... if they cant fix it, they replace it. I have made repair claims for an old iPhone3G, 4, 4s, Bose earbuds, a treadmill, and a printer, and every time the process was smooth and handled quickly and easily. Highly recommend purchasing a warranty for any electronic device or online purchase.

One look and it's clear: With over 4 million pixels on the 13" model, the Retina display on MacBook Pro is an incredible engineering feat. Whether you're retouching professional photography or editing a home movie in HD, all those pixels give your images a level of clarity you've never seen on any notebook - or any computer, for that matter. With colors so rich, vibrant and details so sharp, it's a display worthy of the world's most advanced notebook.

Luckily I was able to get this model on educational discount with tax exempt, but the price tag is still too high for the performance.The MD213LL/A model with a 256GB SSD is selling for $1499 now and that's probably the best value for the 13" retina models. The 3210M and 3230M intel processors differ less than 5% in performance. The only trouble with the older model is the screen burn-in issue that may be present in a large batch. On this current model, the burn-in is not noticeable unless you go all white from a high contrast still image, then there is still some minor burn-in. But other than this minor annoyance, the screen looks amazing in terms of details and color saturation.Intel HD 4000 on a 3230M is a joke for a 2560x1600 screen. It will play movies and do some light design work, but anything a bit advanced causes problems. Even AutoCAD 2D work and Photoshop CS6 presented display problems in multiple instances for me. This should really be a Macbook...
The retina display is amazing as far as doing everyday tasks with so much detail to each application. I started out with the 15inch cMBP w/ i7 Core and 8GB RAM and 750 GB HDD with nVidia discrete graphics card. I took it back the week after because 1. 15inch is getting less exposure for day-to-day tasks such as: browsing, editing, and recording. 2. The larger screen with all the bells did not look as well as the retina 3. Retina is getting to be where the future is. I thought I needed the 15 or 13 with optical drive now that I have used my 13 I realize I do not use it as much as I thought I would. I love this Notebook it is so portable yet very powerful and can handle multiple tasks that are more typical of your average laptop user.
What a beautiful, beautifully made machine. The display is stunning. It is lightning fast. The operating system is a dream. I love working on it more than any other computer I currently own or have owned in the past. It is also lightweight and elegant looking. As far as I'm concerned, this is the ultimate laptop.

I urge you not to heed the angry one-star reviewer who had his undies scrunched by the fact that, faced with a looming deadline, SnagIt didn't help him make a perfect triangle. If "SnagIt didn't help me make a perfect triangle!" is the worst complaint anyone can levy, then you're in for a delightful deal.I am a generally bitter, cynical person who shakes his fist at every technical inefficiency. I tell you that in order to give this next sentence more weight: SnagIt is a rare software product that has satisfied me all the way to a big, teethy smile.The one-star reviewer says that SnagIt isn't good for business users, but that's exactly wrong. Outside of Microsoft Office, SnagIt is the software I would least like to do without at the office. You've likely felt what it's like to be stuck in a series of emails in which people who are inept with language flail around trying to make sense of what the other is saying. What you might not have felt is the sweet relief...
I am writing a lot of new procedures for our new ERP Software System and screen shots really help. Snagit is the best tool I have found for capturing and annotating screens. I especially like the delay feature that allows me to capture a pull down menu. It is loaded with features, but they have many online tools to train you in the use of the product. An example of a great feature is the ability to blur an area of the capture so that sensitive data can be hidden. Highly recommended.
Always been a big fan of SnagIt. There is a Free product called "GREENSHOT" which works well and is free, but SnagIt is still the top dog for this stuff if you create user guides and formal documentation for customers.

I purchased the newest version (Early 2013) which had the upgrade to 16GB Ram and 512GB SSD.The notebook is extremely fast. Computer seems solid, boots in 10-15 seconds from off, sleep to ready in 4-5 seconds. It opens programs in no time flat. It is not light as an air book, but still defiantly lighter than previous models. The screen is great, bright, and responsive. With heavy use I get about 5-5 1/2 hours of use on the battery.Some peoples complaints are the new power adapter, I will agree with them, the new adapter sticks out further and gets knocked off a lot. Not having a dvd drive, not a big deal...I dont think i've used a dvd or cd in a computer in a few years! If I need to I will just have to purchase the external.
This is by far the best laptop I've ever owned. A 2.7GHz quad-core processor, 16GB RAM and (I opted cheap) 256GB flash storage makes for the fastest, smoothest computing experience I've ever seen! The design is superb, materials are by far the best in any computer, and the overall package blew me away. I've had powerbooks and macbook pros, but this is a whole new level. I love all the trackpad gestures, it makes operating the laptop very intuitive and easy. The display is incredible - I can't wait to get photoshop and final cut up and running! No, it doesn't come with a CD/DVD drive and I'm glad it doesn't! Besides, you can get a usb one for pennies on the dollar now if you really need to have a physical disc (I have one lying around that I haven't used in ages). Yes, it's expensive, but I honestly don't foresee ever having to buy another laptop! I'm sure at some point I'll replace the flash memory, but maybe 6-7 years down the road, and 16GB RAM will hold me over forever!
I've never owned my own laptop (sure, I've been provided company laptops before but never actually had my own), and I'd just spent a lot of money on house repairs and I felt like I needed to get myself a little something. OK, a BIG something, but I'll be damned if it wasn't worth it. This is a marvelous device. Literally within two minutes of setting it up, I got an iMessage on the laptop which contained a video of my nephew which I clicked on and it started playing. I had to check around for cameras because I felt like I was in an Apple commercial. It just works. I really have nothing else I can say about it other than if you're in the market for a laptop and you can afford it, you might as well splurge. You won't be disappointed.There was one little annoyance, though, which I thought was a problem at first but now that I know it's normal I guess I'm OK with it, and that is when the laptop wakes up from hibernation, sometimes it takes several seconds until it will...
