Nice

Nippon Labs HDB-250  2.5" HDD/SS Metal Bracket Black Color
Nippon Labs HDB-250 2.5" HDD/SS Metal Bracket Black Color

Pros: Is what it says it is. Used this to mount an old 80 GB HDD from my PS3 to use as a second boot drive which has Ubuntu loaded on it. Since it's metal, it stays nice and cool.

Cons: None

Nice for the price

Kinyo Trilleon II Universal Bluetooth Speaker - BT 150
Kinyo Trilleon II Universal Bluetooth Speaker - BT 150

Pros: I'm picky with my sound, and I've been looking for something that projects the sound forward. Not to the side, not backward, and not a speaker that you cover with your tablet when you prop it up so that it gets all muffled. The span of the speakers is great, allowing sound to come toward you, yet is has a small enough footprint that you can put this most anywhere. Bass is great for how small it is. It has like a rubber reflex enclosure on the underside that allows it to get better bass than most other small speakers.

Cons: The sound sputters a lot. When sound gets too low or there is a break in sound (like in between words when listening to dialogue, or a quiet/rest in music), the speaker like cuts power to the speaker... It's weird. It does this whether its plugged in to the aux port or connected by bluetooth. For example, if the people were saying: "We finish each others sandwiches", you would hear: "ee...inish...ch...thers... andwhiches." I got this to watch movies in bed, soooo... that kind of sucks. If there is a constant flow of sound, no breaks, it sounds great. You may occasionally luck out if you turn it up really loud. The white noise may be loud enough to force it to push power to the speakers constantly.

Overall Review: All in all, its great speaker, sound is good for the size, small footprint, but can you deal with the sputtering? It depends of what you want to use this for. Good like trying to listen Tori Amos or something else like that. It's great for Deadmau5, as long as there's no breaks in the song.

Sturdy product

Gamesir G3s 2.4Ghz Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 Gamepad Controller for Android TV BOX Smartphones Tablet PC with Phone Holder
Gamesir G3s 2.4Ghz Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 Gamepad Controller for Android TV BOX Smartphones Tablet PC with Phone Holder

Pros: The quality and feel of this product is there. It feels like something I would expect from Sony or Nintendo. Buttons feel great, and the fact that it can connect to multiple devices is a big bonus

Cons: On arrival, the left joystick gets stuck and does not return to center when you move it down or to the right. The right joystick is fine.<br><br>I bought this mainly for my iPhone, cause it says it's compatible. I guess there are many different versions of "compatible". If you are thinking MFi compatible to play games, no, its not. It won't play any games on iPhone, like Contra, or Ducktales.<br>If compatible means, can it connect as a keyboard, then yes, yes it does. Pressing any button will type random characters like: /, or ?, and commas. <br><br>I haven't tried on Android or PS3 yet, but I'm sure it's fine.

Overall Review: It's nice, and I want to keep it, but the whole reason why I bought it was for my iPhone, which it doesn't work as stated. I've contacted their support from their website, and only heard crickets... They're not based in the US, so I guess that could mean something.<br><br>I've been really lucky with newegg. In all my years of purchasing stuff on this site, I've never had anything wrong with my products nor had to return anything. This is the first one. It sucks, cause I was impressed with the quality of this thing. I don't even know how to do a return/replacement. I'm gonna have to read up I guess.

Decent

iView CyberPad 420TPC Android Tablet - 1.2GHz 512MB DDR3 4GB flash memory 4.3" Tablet WIFI Android 4.2 White (iVIEW-420TPC-WT)
iView CyberPad 420TPC Android Tablet - 1.2GHz 512MB DDR3 4GB flash memory 4.3" Tablet WIFI Android 4.2 White (iVIEW-420TPC-WT)

Pros: Pretty decent, considering its a single-core processor. The display is actually pretty good. Screen is fluid, but has a delay. It's not retina, obviously, but overall, its good for a $30 4.3 inch tablet. Keeps the kids pacified.

Cons: Again, it's a $30 "Tablet", and although it keeps the kids pacified, they get frustrated with it because it lags so bad. The internals are like 3-4 generations old, so it's fine and I knew what I was getting in to. It's good for what it is. I would recommend it for someone getting on the Android scene who have little experience with newer tech or just want an android device for super cheap. My kids play with my wife's iPhone 5c all the time, and when they play "Lep's World" or anything else on this... they just get frustrated. I have a three kids 5 y/o and under that are so good with phones, I was bummed when they would put this down after 10-15 minutes and come ask for my 5s or her 5c.

Overall Review: Overall, worth the $30, would recommend buying. I may buy another here soon so they each have one in there hand. Keep in mind, it is old tech, comparable to the 2nd Gen iPhone. Just make sure you know what you are getting into when you buy it
