Most Favorable Review

Good but could be better.

VERBATIM CORPORATION Folding Keyboard for Android & iOS Tablets 97537
VERBATIM CORPORATION Folding Keyboard for Android & iOS Tablets 97537

Pros: Nice keyboard, good size, well packaged, includes a stand that stores in the keyboard and a nice case, locks open so it won't fold during use even if on an uneven surface, physical on/off switch so battery doesn't run down when not using.

Cons: Hard to find instructions for pairing with Android, can't store more than one pairing (so have to repair every time you switch what device you're using it with, not an issue if only using with one device), stand isn't sturdy enough for even a 7 inch tablet, not all special keys (home, menu) work in Android 2.*.

Overall Review: To pair with an android device, these are the steps: (I found them in a review on another retailer's website.) In Android: Turn on blue tooth. Make Android device discoverable. Scan for devices. Keyboard: Turn on the keyboard. Push the "Pair" button with a pen (or toothpick, or whatever). Android: Select the keyboard. It will ask for a 4 number password. Enter any 4 numbers. Press OK Keyboard: Enter the same 4 number password you entered in Android. Press Enter. Support docs can be found at http://www.verbatim.com/index/support.php?lang_id=1&cat=24&action=supportitems&pid=11477, including the pdf listing the special keys hotkeys, like alt+esc for menu. Except that doesn't work in Android 2.*.

Most Critical Review

Only class 2

Wintec FileMate 16GB microSDHC Card-It-All Adapter Kit Model 3FMUSDCK16GB-R

Cons: Only class 2

Overall Review: It'd be nice if the specs listed the class rating!

Very pretty!

XO Skins Purple Carbon Fiber Protective Covers Compatible With Google Nexus 7
XO Skins Purple Carbon Fiber Protective Covers Compatible With Google Nexus 7

Pros: Covers the nexus 7 well. Purple. Thin. Easy application.

Cons: Doesn't completely fill in the nexus logo (tho the pic made that clear). The corners aren't sticking quite as well as I'd like, hopefully they'll adhere better in the next day or so as the adhesive sets.

Overall Review: Isn't quite as bright a purple as the pic looked. It didn't ship with any application instructions, tho it did include a blank plastic card to smooth it out with. I didn't need the card, it applied with no air bubbles.

Works out of the box in Kubuntu 8.04, even the mic!

Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 2.0 M Effective Pixels USB 2.0 WebCam
Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000 2.0 M Effective Pixels USB 2.0 WebCam

Pros: Just plug it in and it works in linux (Kubuntu 8.04 specifically)! Great audio&video quality!

Cons: None.

Overall Review: I was concerned it might not sit right on my laptop, cos other 'notebook' cams haven't, but it sits perfectly, just like in the images.
