Most Favorable Review

Works great

Iogear GH8211EK HDMI Extender with IR Control and Power Over Cat5e/6 (POC)
Iogear GH8211EK HDMI Extender with IR Control and Power Over Cat5e/6 (POC)

Pros: POE for receiver unit. IR transmitter included.

Cons: IR doesn't pick up as well as most modern devices. It's shaped like a bubble but, it only works when aiming at the top of the bubble.

Overall Review: Easy to hide. Inexpensive. Removes the need for set-top boxes and their mess of wires and power cords but at the cost of two network ports mounted somewhere near the receiver. I put the set-tops in a cabinet in another room and the receiver in the wall. All I have in my living area is my TV now.

Great Backpack

BELKIN Black/Light Gray 15.4" Slim Backpack Model F8N057-KLG

Pros: Great shape and feel while wearing. Best backpack I ever owned. Fits a 13.3" Fujitsu Conv Tablet perfectly. Would certainly fit up to 15" without fuss.

Cons: Almost too big (deep) main pocket now that I run a Surface Pro 3 and most other laptops are slimming down. Small pockets fit 7" tablets but not safely. Wish it had an intermediate pocket inside and in front of the big pocket to fit smaller devices.

Overall Review: I over stuffed it with a sweatshirt and some tools and now the zipper is pulling apart from the bag. Although, that is most certainly all my fault. I wear it while biking and my old 13" convertible tablet fit great. Never felt it wasn't well protected. Looking for even slimmer now but, can't beat this price!
