Zeso iPhone camera lens Kit 3 in 1: 198 Fisheye Lens,15x Macro Lens 0.63x Wide Angle Lens professional camera lens


 
I am one of those rare people who still has a digital camera, actually I have 3 and 1 of them is a DSLR. I mainly use my DSLR for sporting events, business events, family gatherings, large gatherings, jut about anywhere that I might want or need a professional shot. I use the other digital cameras when it is not convenient to carry my DSLR equipment. I use my phone’s camera when out and about shopping and see something I want to snap a shot of for latter viewing or research and around the house for fun moments or to quickly capture something the dogs are up too.

I have found several times that I wish I had any of my digital cameras with me because I need to get something better than my phone currently can take. When I saw these lenses, I jumped at the chance to try them out. I thought that if they worked, it would be something small that I could keep in my purse and not have to worry about it dying because I had not charged it lately.  I was pleased to see how secure and protective a case the lenses came in.
 

Pros: Has a protective carrying case that you can just drop in your purse and it is always with you. The lens have nice anodized aluminum construction and all feel very sturdy. The lens clip has a strong spring and padded areas where it contacts the phone. Well made.

Cons: No paper instructions to carry for refresher on how to use. Images seem to be a bit dimmer than if you had taken a picture without lenses. You can not use your flash. No cleaning cloth in the bag to wrap the lenses in to keep them from rubbing against each other if you wanted to carry them both in the bag instead of the hard case.

Overall: They make your pictures even better, more focused, less grainy. Only for photographs not videos.

DISCLAIMER:  I received this case for a greatly reduced price in exchange for giving my honest opinion. I do not have a relationship with the seller and manufacturer of

Dreaminex SoundTouch D-10 Wireless Headset

I was so looking forward to trying these that I could hardly wait to open.


 The earbuds have a noise isolation design, came with silicone earWings to help position in your ear properly. They have a Metallic Housing for the pc software necessary for the blu-tooth and battery recharging.
 Came with a Hard carrying case, which initially held 8 sets of silicone earbuds, so you could find the one that fits best in your ear.

 It takes about 1 hour to charge. I found that my battery charger that I carry in my purse shuts off and will not charge the earbuds, bummer. The battery life on standby is 120 hours, but music/talk time is about 3 hours. Yes you heard right talk time. No visible microphone on the wire, it is actually built into the earbud themselves.
 Music sounds great, no matter what type. I played 2010's rock and country, 1990's rock and country, 1980's rock and country. Bluegrass, Beatles, Elton John, Kool & the Gang, Wilson Pickett, Enrique Iglesias, Yanni, Mardi Gras, Classical. All of it sounds great.



 I found that you can leave your phone sitting somewhere and walk about 20 feet, give or take, before you start to get a dropping of signal effect. It drops and reconnects several times repeatedly.

Pros: no wires to get tangled or caught on things when wearing while cleaning. Can sync to multiple devices, it will try to reconnect to the last synced device each time it is powered back on. Great sound. Has 8 different size/styles of ear bud pieces to fit any size ear, because lets face it every ear is different and what is comfortable to one person might not be to another.

Cons: Sticks out of ear towards your face a little but it is not bothersome. I had the volume, while listening to music, at the lowest setting, before it went to mute, and it was pretty loud, you could not hear anything happening around you. I barely heard the dogs bark, the tv or my family who are yelling at the refs on tv.

Overall: The best ear buds I have found

CHTech Slim Fashion Double Layer Protection Scratch Proof Armor Case


I received a new iPhone 6 case today. Before I have even taken it out of the package, I really like the color.



While the case is slim, I feel that there is some decent protection for my phone. It went on easily. It is a very snug fit but it is still easy to remove if needed. It is very durable, I am a klutz, plus when in a hurry to leave I tend to just drop my phone in my purse and then have to dig down, around my keys, pens, wallet, iPod, etc and while other cases have gotten scratch, this one has not.
 


 It is very stylish. I will not be able to loose it in the bottom of my purse. Easy to access buttons, they respond just as if there was nothing there. It is designed to help disperse heat and reduce overheating.  It has a textured back, which helps it not slide as easily. With the case being texture, when you reach in without looking into your purse/backpack, you can tell by the feel of the case that it is not another electronic or another phone when family members drop theirs in your bag.

Pros: It has Double protection in shock-absorbing TPU and durable hard polycarbonate are equal to absolute protection all around. Geometric pattern TPU case for heat reduction and shock absorption. For overheating with intense usage of your cellphone, the has a special geometric heat reduction pattern.  The pattern is designed to disperse heat and reduces overheating to ensure that your device maintains optimal performance.

Cons: No screen protection.

Overall: This is a great case. If you want a slim phone case, then this is the one. It is not bulky like some I have tried.

DISCLAIMER:  I received this case for free in exchange for giving my honest opinion.



MP4 Multimedia Player

Although this looks very similar to an iPod, it does not operate anything like it. If you are familiar with iPods, even after reading the instructions, you may have trouble figuring out how to use it as the directional buttons is not that intuitive.

 It does not work with iTunes, instead you have to drag and drop files into it, but otherwise it is an effective player for anyone that doesn't require a great deal of bells and whistles and it is about 1/5th the price. I definitely would suggest it as a first player for a child or elderly adult who simply wants something that they can play music on and tune into radio stations - this device has a built in tuner. The graphics aren't crystal clear, but that doesn't take away from the functionality of the device.


A voice recorder, media player, E-book reader, photo viewer (JPEG pictures only) music player, built-n GB memory you can store about 4000 MP3 songs (based on 3.5 minute songs), videos of AMV format.

Pros: reasonable cost. Light weight. Great size. Crystal clear sound.

Cons: takes some time to figure out how to use. Volume button on ear buds do not change volume.

BSHW Slim Rechargeable Power Bank External Battery Charger Powered Backup Pack for iphone 6 Built-in Portective 4.7inch Case

Received my Rechargeable Battery Pack case today. Upon opening the box I thought it was well protected, only after I started lifting up the bubble wrap, I find they had just placed the box on the bottom and then put two layers of bubble wrap on it. It is well protected unless someone accidentally punctures the bottom.


My son is jealous that I received this. He wanted to steal it until he realized it was only for my phone, would not fit his iPhone 5 or his dad's iPhone 6 Plus.

Was very easy to install. It was a little difficult at first to get the charging cable (not included) to plug into case, after a couple of times it goes in easily.
The button on the back of the case is what you push to charge your phone from case.
Case is two parts, 3/4 of case is the bottom and 1/4 is the top piece. Phone slides right down into case and top slides right on too. It is snug, not too loose and not too tight.


It charges quickly both when it needs recharged and when your phone needs recharged. I have not dropped it yet so I do not know if it takes being dropped well.

There is a cover on the on/off button that makes it easy to hit the power button.





Down side is the volume buttons and the mute switch have cutouts and unless you have nails, it is not easy to get to. Now this does stop those accidental turning the mute button on and off or raising/lowering the volume. 


There is a kickstand, that is a bit difficult to open.

I had to find a pen cap to slip in and pop up the tab.
Once you have the stand open it is angled at a decent angle to view when sitting.

Pros: Charger built in, you don't have to look for somewhere to charge or try to find your cable and hope your backup battery charger is charged and in your bag. Keeps you from accidentally changing volume or turning mute off/on for ringer. Has a usable kickstand that does not feel cheap and flimsy, like it will break after jut a few uses. Push button on back of case makes it easy to charge while away from power outlets.

Cons: Not easy to change volume or turn mute button for ringer off/on. Kickstand is difficult to open.

Overall: I would definitely recommend this charging case if you are busy. Is great when you are out in the middle of nowhere with your kids Lacrosse team games, or out on a long day shopping, constantly on the run. College student that forgets charging cable and phone is dead midday with all the apps they are running.

DISCLAIMER:  I received this case for a hugely discounted price, in exchange for giving my honest unbiased opinion.
