3 Best Amazon Fire 7 Tablet Cases

Having recently purchased the new Amazon Fire tablet (2015) I was looking for a low cost case when i came across this little gem. I was thinking of buying a case for my Fire directly from Amazon but then I saw these cases. The prices are much more realistic and affordable than the ones from Amazon.
1. Cartoon Deer Flip Cover for Amazon Fire Tablet 7 Inch
I ordered the cartoon deer cover and it came in very quickly. My first impression was that it looked great and felt comfortable. The cover is plastic with a bumpy texture. The cover works as a great stand. The shell fits perfectly on the back of the tablet but I can't say that the front is perfect. The cover pushes upward somewhat when it's shut. You can see a picture of it in the attached pictures. Also, it isn't very comfortable if you fold the cover back while holding it. It feels like the front is too long so it doesn't fold correctly. It feels best holding it while having the cover hang off the side but either way, I wouldn't return it because it looks great and offers pretty good protection while being affordable. I definitely recommend this case, but just be aware that it may not be 100% perfect. Conservative styling, which I like. Sturdy. The price was right. Recommended.
2. Eiffel Tower Flip Cover for Amazon Fire Tablet 7 Inch
This is a very well made product and I love the design, it's a nice departure from your typical solid colored cases. The cut outs lineup perfectly with the Fire, and the hardshell case with the foldable cover is very sturdy and provides great coverage/protection for the tablet. The only minor negative I have is the foldable cover: because of its thickness it sometimes doesn't stay perfectly folded when supporting the tablet; to me this is not a major problem because I hardly look at it while it's being propped up. I have only had the cover for a month, but it still looks brand new. I did read other reviews saying the case doesn't turn off the Fire when it's closed (like iPads), but I believe that has to do with the design of the actual tablet. I don't find it problematic to push the sleep button. FYI, crayons wipe right off the case, toddler tested.
3. Slim Stand Case for Amazon Fire 7 inch Tablet
Wow! I love my new Slim Stand Case. I carry my Fire with me everywhere I go so I knew I need a case that would be not only attractive but durable as well. Let's face it, the inside of a woman's handbag is not for the meek of heart and TAGreat delivered in spades. I ordered the white with the black design and it's simply gorgeous! People are always interrupting me while I'm reading, asking where did I purchase my adorable case and of course, I always tell them - it's a TAGreat and I purchased it from their online store. It holds my Kindle snugly and safely and also prevents damage if its ever accidentally dropped. I'm sure that's not part of their guarantee but I discovered this little fact first hand when mine took a tumble and lived to tell the tale! It's also durable, very comfortable to hold while reading and doesn't hinder the operation of the front or rear camera. And it doesn't show dirt or stains and wipes clean easily with a damp cloth. It's absolutely perfect! I couldn't be happier with my purchase and fully intend to purchase more of these cases for my other devices. This is actually my third one! I think that's the best compliment I can give.

Amazon Fire 7" Tablet Review

After using the fire for a month I decided to up my review to 5 stars. I think this an amazing device for $50 and couldn't recommend it any higher.

There is an FAQ section to the bottom of the review since Amazon doesn't have one on the product page. These FAQs could get out of date over time so please comment if you see an error and I'll fix it.

Review
Oh my dear, sweet $50 Fire. The iPad was my first love but the dirt cheap heart in my chest saw you and wanted you to be perfect. When I buy something I want to feel like I got a great deal and you give me that feeling. I had no idea I actually needed 6 tablets until you told me I could have all 6 for $250. The headrests in both of my cars have been prepped with tablet holders and my kids are confused as to why there are 6 identical looking gifts placed in the spot where my Christmas tree will be in 3 months. Now that I've gotten to know you I see your flaws but I can look past them. They say first impressions are important and from the moment I laid hands on you and turned on your screen I was initially disappointed. Lesson learned, don't judge a book by its cover, or in this case a cheap tablet by its less than HD screen.

My first impression is that the plastic body feels like hard cheap plastic yet it's dense and there's a nice weight to it. It's certainly a fingerprint magnet. I pressed the button on the top and the fire logo came on the screen. Immediately I was struck by two things, the contrast on screen wasn't great and the Fire logo was a little pixelated. After sitting through about 30 minutes of updates I made it to the homepage. I had built up all this excitement for a $50 wonder Fire and I wasn't going to give up just because of a pixelated splash screen. This lumpy throw pillow I'm laying my head on while I write this review probably cost $50. The Fire has to be better than a throw pillow right? Let's see what this thing has going for it.

Pros:
+ Videos and games look surprisingly good despite the less than HD resolution display. The screen is not very good for reading small text on websites and books. This is not going to replace your e-ink Kindle for reading.
+ Obviously the price. $50 for a tablet is a great price. 6 for $250 is an amazing deal. For less than the price of the cheapest iPad mini I can have 6 tablets.
+ Build quality feels decent. Amazon claims it’s twice as resistant as the iPad to breaking when dropped. That’s not saying much because my iPad shattered into a million pieces the other day when I whispered the words “You look fragile” to it.
+ Cheap Car entertainment. We like to go on road trips and my wife has been asking me to install screens and a dvd player in the back of our Tahoe for the last 3 years. This solves that problem for me. For much less than I planned on spending for a car entertainment center I can attach these tablets on the headrest of both of my cars and the kids have their movies.
+ Browsing the internet is quick, playing games and switching between screens is very responsive. Prime movies load instantly while also allowing me to skip back and forth very quickly. The Fire isn't as fast loading pages or as smooth at switching screens as my Samsung Galaxy S6 or iPad but it's good, much better than I expected.
+ Playing games is simply fantastic. I've tried Goat Simulator, Cut the rope, Kingdom Rush, Final Fantasy 4, Bloons TD 5, and a ton of free Amazon Underground Apps. Bloons TD 5 was probably the best test. Once you get to round 100 the game warns you that at some point there will be so much stuff on the screen it will be unplayable. I played up to round 115 and there was lag but I was still able to play and could have continued. The hardware is simply outstanding at this price.
+ It has an external SD card slot that let's you insert up to a 128gb micro-SD card. This is huge for my family! I call myself Heart Dad because I have a 2 year old son who has had 6 open heart surgeries. We spend a lot of time in the hospital, laying in bed trying to distract him with movies. My 16 gb iPad air only fits around 5 movies before I run out of space. Kids get bored of movies! I want a tablet with 128gb so that I can fit 32 4gb movies on it. What are my choices? Apple charges $600 for the new 128gb iPad mini. Amazon sells 128gb micro-SD class 10 cards for around $55 and 64gb cards for about $20. I decided to get the Fire with 2, 64GB cards and it cost me $90 total.
+ Amazon provides free unlimited cloud storage for photos taken with the fire.
+ The specs. 7 hour battery life. Quad-core processor, front and back cameras, 7 inch IPS 171 ppi ‘almost’ HD screen, 8gb of built in memory.
+ The fire is Kid friendly. There are a bunch of kid friendly features for limiting viewing time, playing kid friendly movies, and adding permissions to the tablet so that kids can’t accidentally buy things.
+ If you have a Fire TV, PS3, or PS4 you can “fling” movies and TV shows to your TV from the Kindle.
+ There’s a 3.5mm aux port for listening through headphones. This is perfect for road trips where both kids want to watch a different movie.
+ This is subjective but I think that the OS interface is much improved over previous versions of the Kindle Fire.
+ The Amazon ecosystem that this plugs you into (if you have prime). The new Amazon underground app store is fantastic, prime music has thousands of free songs, you have access to millions of free tv shows and movies, etc...
+ I ran some tests and found that download and upload speeds are exactly the same as my Galaxy S6 and iPhone over Wifi.

Neutral:
* It comes in 1 color, black.
* The body is smooth with no texture. I'd recommend getting a case if you've got slippery fingers like me.
* There’s a new feature called “Word Runner” that lets you read a book by showing you one word at a time in the middle of the screen for various lengths of time based on how fast you read. It slows down for more complicated words. I tested this out and I personally don’t like it, but you might. It’s certainly an interesting idea and Amazon claims it can help you read faster.
* What Amazon has done with the volume buttons is very interesting. The up and down volume buttons automatically swap as you rotate the screen so that volume up is always on top (when held sideways), and on the right (when held vertically). I've never used a tablet that does this before and it led to a funny experience the first time I went to watch a movie. It was about 1am and I accidentally mistook the volume up button for the volume down button. My wife freaked out on me, the baby started crying, and I couldn't turn it down because I kept mashing the volume up button. Never wake a sleeping baby. I hope my experience with the volume buttons will keep such terrible things from happening to you.

Cons:
- The screen is poor for reading small font. I prefer reading books with small font and browsing some websites including amazon.com using the normal non-mobile versions. When I tried this the font became very pixelated and hard to read. Increase your font size for books and browse the web using mobile sites only and the screen looks decent. Contrast on the screen is low, especially when viewed from an angle and it's also very reflective in sunlight.
- The Kindle app cannot read eBooks off the external memory card, however you can side load books onto the internal memory of the Fire. I can only assume this is a move to stop piracy or an oversight. I included this because a lot of people are complaining about this in reviews and on the internet. It personally doesn't affect me because the books I read take up a small amount of storage space and if I run out of memory I just delete the books I've read. I can always side load the books again later if I want to re-read them. Others with image heavy, large sized books will run out of internal space more quickly and need to delete their books more often.
- The Audible app does not allow you to store audio-books to the external SD card. Audible allows this on regular Android phones so I'm not sure why it doesn't work for the Fire. Audible books can be really large. This limitation means you'll only be able to store a couple audio-books on the Fire for off-line listening.
- There's no way to truly dim the screen. After dropping the brightness to the lowest setting and turning on airplane mode, the screen is much too bright for me to use in bed at night if my wife is trying to sleep. My phone gets really dim on the lowest setting but the Fire doesn't. I wonder if this is something they can fix in a software update.
- The two cameras are both mediocre quality. The front camera is a measly 2mp which is just decent enough to do 720p videos and take some pretty low quality pictures. The front facing camera is low quality VGA. It works well enough for skyping but don't expect to take any amazing selfies with it.
- The speaker is just OK. It suffices for riding in the car and playing a movie. It’s just a single channel speaker. You have to upgrade to the $99 kindle to get dolby audio and up to the $149 kindle to get two speakers.
- The built in wireless card does not support wireless AC, only N, G, and B. Wireless N is still what most people have and N is faster than most people's internet connection at this point but I feel this is still a con. Wireless AC is the immediate future of the internet and it would have been nice if the hardware supported this signal but I suppose it was probably too expensive for the hardware to support at this price point.

Honestly, I'm having a lot of fun with this tablet and my 6 year old loves it. No the screen is not HD, but my kids don't care. All they know is that I’m able to put 32 of their favorite Disney movies onto their new tablet using this external micro-SD card that slides into the side. In my opinion this is a 4 star device only because the screen resolution is mediocre and low contrast. Amazon should be applauded for giving us this hardware for only $50. If they could somehow fit a couple extra pixels in the screen this would be a 5 star tablet no questions asked.

The new $50 Fire is not the nicest tablet in the world but that’s not the point is it? It costs 8x less than my iPad and 14x less than my smart phone. You’re not buying this because you want the best tablet on the market. You’re getting this because it’s cheap and worth every penny of the $50 you'll spend on it. Great job Amazon, the Fire is most certainly the best tablet you can buy for $50. My expectations were high and you've blown them away.
Fire Tablet, 7" Display
FAQs

Q. How much of the 8GB internal storage space is actually available for use when I first turn on the Kindle?
A. Mine has 5.63GB. The rest is taken up by the Fire OS and required applications.

Q. I only want this for reading, is this tablet a good replacement for a regular e-ink Kindle or Kindle Paperwhite?
A. In my opinion no, here's why. The $50 kindle has a screen with 171 ppi (pixels per inch). This is actually really close to the regular Kindle which has 167 ppi but the new Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Voyage have 300 ppi. Why does that matter? Basically the higher the ppi, the clearer the text will be on your screen. The other huge advantages the Kindles have for reading are:
1) Kindles have a very long battery life (weeks vs hours for the Fire).
2) E-Ink screens look like natural ink and are much easier on your eyes for reading long periods of time because the screens are not back-lit like the Fire.
3) Kindles are much lighter and easier to handhold for hours. Kindles are 6-7oz vs 11oz for the Fire.
4) Kindles can easily be read in bright daylight unlike the fire. The Kindle Paperwhites can also be easily read at night in bed where the regular kindles need a lamp in order to see them at night.

Q. Can I download Apps, Movies, TV Shows, Photos, and Personal Videos to my external SD card?
A. Yes. By default these options are on. When you put your memory card in and download an app or a movie it should go straight to the memory card.
To turn on external memory card downloads:
1) Go to the Home tab on the Fire and click the Settings Icon (it looks like a gear).
2) Under the Device settings click "Storage".
3) Enable the options to download supported apps, movies, tv shows, photos, and personal videos to your SD card.

Q. Can I store and read books of the external SD card using the Amazon Kindle app?
A. No, unfortunately not at this time. In order to read a book using the Kindle app you need to move it to the internal memory of the Fire.

Q. Can I side-load e-books onto the internal memory of the Fire?
A. Yes.

Q. Do I need a wireless router in order to connect the Fire to the internet or does it have it's own 3G, 4G connection?
A. Yes, you need a wireless router in order to connect the Fire to the internet. You could also use a wireless hot spot if you have one. Several of the other Kindles have 3G and 4G connections. Search amazon for Kindle 4G or Fire 4G. Example http://amazon.com/Kindle-Fire-HDX-Display-Wi-Fi/dp/B00BWYSOEW

Q. How are the Wifi internet speeds of the Fire?
A. The Fire is comparable to other portable devices when tested using a 100MBPS connection from Cox.
I tested the Fire vs my Samsung Galaxy S6, iPhone 6, and laptop. Here are the results after running the test on each 5 times using OOKLA.
Fire: 47.23 Mbps download, 13.46Mbps upload, 13ms ping.
Samsung Galaxy S6: 48Mbps download, 14.85Mbps upload, 10ms ping.
PC: 84.15Mbps download, 14.80Mbps upload, 10ms ping.
iPhone: 45Mbps download, 15.20Mbps upload, 10ms ping.

Q. Can I move music (.mp3s) that I've purchased from Amazon Prime Music onto the external SD card using the Prime music app?
A. No. According to reviews of the Amazon Prime music app and Amazon customer service there is a limitation at this time that prevents you from moving music you've purchased through Amazon onto the external SD card.

Q. Is the Fire tablet Bluetooth compatible for audio, i.e., external speakers?
A. Yes. The Fire has Bluetooth.

HUAWEI P9 Plus Cartoon Flip Cover Case with Smart View Window

Bought the skull pattern one for my husband and a white one for me. I like the case overall. In order to talk on the phone, I have to fold the top cover all the way around. The concern for this is that the front cover will come off from having to bend it this way. For me, my HUAWEI P9 Plus is easier to find with the case on; I don't have to frantically dig in my purse constantly to find it. I've always had to use a case with my phone, mostly for protection of the device. The case provides privacy from others also. This case was specifically made for this HUAWEI P9 Plus. To use it, you must take the back cover off of the HUAWEI P9 Plus and it clicks into the tabs on the case. I like this feature as it does not make the HUAWEI P9 Plus thicker.
  • Naturally produced with cutting-edge processing techniques, classic and Luxury.
  • Delicate texture: High-end eco-friendly material with a thickness of 0.45mm delivers a soft and natural hand feeling while protecting your phone.
  • Meticulous: careMade of PU and microfiber fabric with sophisticated surface treatment process. Precise holes, 100% perfect fit.
  • Support function, release the hands, enjoy viewing.
  • Anti-Scratch, Stain-resistant and Impact resistant.
I love this case! When I first got it, I was a little disappointed, since it did not close tightly, but have since adjusted to that (guess I was so used to the magnetic closure on iPad cases). I downloaded an app called "Stay Alive" so the screen does not go dark in10 seconds (kind of defeated the purpose of having the little window). One screen shows the clock and when you swipe to the left, it shows the weather info (this is the screen I use). But what I love is the fact that when I receive an email, the info regarding the email runs across the top of the screen- so I do not have to go into my email to see who the email was from (hope this makes sense!). I also love the fact that I can pick up calls (or hang up) without opening the cover. Can also talk on the phone with the cover closed. When I am on the internet for a long time, and fold the cover back, I do worry that it might not close tight again -- but I usually just place it down (with the window facing down) for a little while, and seems to be fine. The clock and weather in the window are in black and white (not color as the picture shows) which seems to bother some buyers. I am ok with that. I have also used the timer on my phone, and when it goes off, I can just dismiss it without opening the cover. I love this so much that I plan on buying another in the black (I have the white now and I know that eventually it will get dirty). This is just a great addition to a great phone (which I also LOVE). BTW-- I also love the fact that I do not have to constantly be hitting the on/off button on the side of the phone (main reason I bought it)- just open and close the cover instead. Any questions - just ask, I will be glad to answer if I can. JUST LOVE THIS CASE!!!
HUAWEI P9 Plus Cartoon Flip Cover Case
Just wanted to add to this review-- if you receive this case and it does not close tightly- send it back. I ended up liking this case so much I bought another in black and it closes with no problem! I can also fold the cover back without worrying that it is not going to close tightly again. Obviously the last one I received was defective. Now that I received one that closes correctly I am even more thrilled with the case!!
Again, I have to add to this review because I just updated to Lollypop (not because I wanted to , but several apps were no longer supported on JellyBean). Once I did this, the front window shows the time & date (which looks nice)-- but I can no longer swipe to the left, to get the weather, and to see incoming emails. I am so incredibly disappointed. This is what I loved about this case. Little by little I am changing my view of HUAWEI P9 Plus. No longer in love with this case!

The product is endowed with fine texture and comfortable tactile impression. Protect your iPhone 7 Plus both front and back from daily scratches or bumps; Support hands free video watching with self stand.
iPhone 7 Plus Cartoon Smart Flip Cover
I like the overall case design, and a stand-up portfolio type case goes well with the screen of the iPhone 7 Plus.
The cutouts are all well positioned, it's easy to work all the controls. The stand-up function works. This is basically an iPhone-sized version of the iPad portfolio case.
The iPhone 7 Plus is a big phone. This case does not add a lot of bulk, but it does add some, so bear that in mind.
The case is 'PU Leather', which apparently means it is all synthetic (PU= PolyUrethane) and resembles leather, but without any actual animal skin involved.
At an $12 price delivered, it's good to keep your expectations reasonable. This is a soft, padded, synthetic case. It won't last forever. And it is not intended to be 'extreme heavy duty' protection...portfolio style cases offer some protection against scratches, but almost no protection against drops or impacts. If you're concerned about dropping the phone, you'll want a different design of case.
Sample sent for review. I have not seen many portfolio cases so far for the iPhone 7 Plus. This one works, and performs as designed. I think it's attractive looking. For $11 delivered, it's hard to go wrong.
I hope this review is helpful as you comparison shop Plus-6 cases. Happy trails, everybody.

How to Charge iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus Wirelessly

In the build-up to the launch of Apple's latest handsets, there were rumors that you could charge the iPhone 7 wirelessly. Unfortunately the rumors were wrong; it's not possible to do so. Well, Apple doesn't provide a way, but there is a way. Read on to find out how:

How to charge your iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus wirelessly

If the lack of official Apple tech for wireless charging leaves your blood boiling, don't be overly concerned. You're not the only one to feel this way. So if you're tired of your Android-toting, wireless charging friends constantly rubbing the fact in, here are a few ways you can charge your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus wirelessly.

The Wireless (Qi) Charging Receiver

There are many different products available that will allow you to charge your iPhone 7 wirelessly. However, for this tutorial, we'll go with this product available from TAGreat for $12.99: iPhone Wireless Charging Receiver.
Once you have the wireless charging card in your possession, insert the Lightning cable of the wireless card receiver into your iPhone 7. Now, make sure to wrap the receiver around your device. Next, if you have a case for your iPhone (non-metal) place your iPhone in it, with the receiver attached, and then place it onto the charging mat. And that's it; you can now charge your iPhone 7 wirelessly.

Other wireless charging methods

Another way to charge your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus wirelessly is to use something called a wireless charging receiver. This product is available at tagreat.com for $19.99.

iPhone 7 Plus Qi Wireless Charging Leather Case
iPhone 7 Qi Wireless Charging Leather Case
To use the device, you just plug it into your iPhone 7's Lightning port and then place it on the charging pad. Unfortunately this isn't a true wireless charging solution; it's more akin to a hybrid. However, it does provide wireless charging, and it allows you to pick up your handset and use it. When you put it down, it starts charging again, all without having to use a standard charger.
There is a downside to this product; you won't be able to connect Lightning headphones and charge at the same time.

The future

At some point in the near future, it may be possible to charge an iPhone 7 with a wireless case. However, at the moment there aren't any available. When they become available, I expect them to have a Qi charging coil as you can see on the receiver above. However, they will be built into the case instead of having to wrap it around the handset, so all you would have to do is place your handset inside the case, and then place it onto the charging plate. And that's it; you'll have a less fiddly method, something that is almost identical to the real thing.
Do you want to charge your iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus wirelessly? What do you think of the solutions above? Will you give one of them a try? Let us know in the comments; alternatively, if you've found a different method of wireless charging, please share it with us.

Best Qi Wireless Charging Pad 2016

I purchased a charger for my husband that turned out to be a defective one and I was initially upset and not very happy. Now here's why they Get 5 stars, the customer service rep who saw that I was unhappy & went out of their way to make sure To make things right by sending me a new one that works perfectly and I am a very satisfied customer and will have no problems purchasing from them again knowing that they strive to achieve greatness
  • Wireless Charging : Just lay down your Qi-enabled device onto the charging pad, then the pad will charge your phone wirelessly.
  • Safety Guarantees : Over-voltage, under-voltage, short-circuit protection to ensure safety for your cell phone. Blue breathing light indicates that your phone is in charging.
  • Fast Charging : Up to 5V-2A input and 5V-1.5A output, this wireless charger charges your devices in a high efficient.
  • Breathing LED Indicator : The built-in Smart Breathing LED light flickers when a phone is charging on it, and the soft breathing light won't cause any distraction to its user even at night.
Pros:
• Beautiful Design
• Feels solid
• Charges as well as OEM Samsung Qi charger
• Excellent price
Cons:
• All Qi Chargers are relatively slow

This charger is much more gorgeous in-person. The clear plastic edges are very shiny and beautiful with the chrome piece where the charger plugs into being the cherry on top. It’s hard to notice this chrome piece in the pictures, but it is indeed there. The charger feels very solid when there are so many cheap, lightweight chargers on the market, and it actually feels heavier than the OEM Samsung wireless charger.

The connection is flawless and works great on my Galaxy S6 with a Spigen Neo Hybrid case. The LED isn't as fancy of a lightshow as the Samsung charger, but that isn’t an issue at all. It pulses blue while charging (which I find quite calming), and turns solid blue when your device is fully charged. It actually does include a USB cable, but you must procure a charger that matches the input specified on the bottom of the device.
The only flaws are about wireless charging itself. First of all, it is slower than some cables and especially slower than the alternative Quick Charge available on newer Samsung phones like the Galaxy S6 which have these wireless charging capabilities built-in. Also, it is possible to not place this on the charger correctly or it can get knocked off. I have woken up to a dead phone several times and had to quick charge it; this is less of a problem if you have a portable charger.

Overall I recommend everyone to try out wireless chargers. It is best for when I go to bed and I don’t have to worry about wearing down my cables by plugging and unplugging them every night; this extends the life of my cables dramatically and I can never save too many of those.

I have received this product at a discount in exchange for my honest review; my rating has not been influenced.

5 Best Kindle Paperwhite Cases

Protect your Kindle Paperwhite with this TAGreat Case at all times! The TAGreat Case sports a simple and classy design. The back shell is made from durable polycarbonate material so you do not need to worry about any damages. It offers an easy clip-on application. The cover is designed to fold back, so you can read comfortably with just one hand. Our innovative cover was designed to specifically fit your Kindle Paperwhite and secures your device without any hinges or straps. Thin, lightweight, and durable, this cover is perfect for taking Kindle Paperwhite wherever you go. The TAGreat Case comes in a variety of bright, fun colors, the widest selections to suite your taste.
1. Cute Cat Case for Kindle Paperwhite
I have owned several Kindles over the years, and have always avoided buying a case for them. Figured the case would add too much bulk, and I like my Kindle to be thin and light. But, I was buying a case for my daughter's Kindle Voyage (she is a serious reader!), and figured, what the heck, I'd give a thin and light case a try. Very happy I did. Case adds very little bulk, but a nice layer of protection. Case has magnetic clasp, and turns the Kindle on when you open it. Design is nice enough (although that isn't my main reason for buying it). Construction seems to be good. Of course, only time will tell, and I DO bend the cover back when reading, so perhaps the "hinge" will give out at some point. But, at this price, I am extremely pleased.
2. Cartoon Deer Case for Kindle Paperwhite
It goes without saying that every kindle needs a case to protect it. This case does that very well. I also like that it is magnetic, which not only hold the case shut when you close it, but puts the Kindle into sleep mode when it is closed and wakes it up when you open it. The only reason that I didn't give it five stars is because it is plastic, not leather, so it probably won't last as long, but has lasted five months of daily use with no signs of cracking yet. I wanted a cover that would be easy to find if all but a corner was covered up by desktop litter, so I chose the leopardskin design. Other designs would have worked as well, but that was the one that appealed to me for personal reasons. It has worked out well. This is a good, sturdy case and the price is not excessive. I would recommend it for any Paperwhite owners.
3. Flowers Case for Kindle Paperwhite
I knew I liked the way this case fit my Kindle Paperwhite and magnetically opened and closed it. However, the other night at the beach I became busy with other things and forgot to retrieve my brand new Kindle which had been left on our deck. Overnight, we had terrible thunderstorms with deluges of rain. When I realized where I had left my Kindle, I was almost afraid to go look at it. Thankfully, this case had kept it dry. Kindle powered right up. I had to remove it from the case so the case lining could dry, but it's all good now. Highly recommend. P.S. It's also keeping the blowing sand from harming the Kindle.
4. Cute Bear Case for Kindle Paperwhite
I have had a Nook for years...which I also love!! Because of the Kindle Reading App, I really didn't think I needed a Kindle too, but I realized that Amazon has so many books that Barne's and Noble doesn't have. I have already bought and read several of them, but using the Kindle app on my phone became a hassle. I bought the Kindle Paperwhite with a purple TAGreat case. The combo is wonderful! I open it, pick up where I left off, read for awhile, close it and put it in my purse. It's small, light, easy to use, and with the touch screen, I can access the dictionary and other things while reading, and not lose my place. It's just black and white, but since I bought it for reading books, it serves my purpose just fine. I don't have any magazine subscriptions on my readers because if I want to read an article I can do it online. There is something else that I love about it. You can read it anywhere, anytime, sunshine, shadow, or dark. There's no glare, and no external light needed. Yes indeedy! I do love my little Kindle!!
5. Super Man Case for Kindle Paperwhite
I recently purchased a TAGreat cover for my iPad Mini and I love it. I love the feel and texture of that cover, and I love how it fits my iPad. So when I saw TAGreat's line of covers for the Kindle Paperwhite, it was an easy decision to buy. I love the price, and I love the feel of the exterior of the cover as well as the soft texture inside. It fits the Paperwhite perfectly, and I especially love the sleep/wake function. I'm also pleased with this particular shade of blue, almost the peacock shade instead of true blue, as one of the other reviewers have stated. All in all, I'm sticking with the TAGreat product line for all my electronic devices, and I highly recommend them. You get a quality product for a bargain price.

How to Make Dog Toys: Homemade Recycled Water Bottle Toy

The recycled water bottle toy is one of the easiest toys to make because all it requires is an old drinking bottle and a little bit of effort. This type of toy is a favorite among all dog species because of the cracking and crinkly sound that it produced when chewed on by a dog. Before handing the recycled drinking bottle to the pet, always ensure that the lid, and the ring, which is usually attached to the lid have all been carefully removed.
Furthermore, if your dog is a serious chewer, you can consider giving him or her another homemade toy instead of the recycled drinking bottle. The careful approach is essential because plastics tend to form very sharp corners that can cause some serious damage to any dogs' delicate gums and in some cases some the sharp pieces may be swallowed by your pet. , there are three recycled drinking bottle ideas that you can use when brainstorming for an ideal homemade toy.
You can either choose to remove the lid from the bottle, and then fill it with dry food like biscuits. The main concept behind this particular design is that the dog would have to roll the bottle so as to get treats out it. Another dry bottle idea that you can opt to use is the pierced recycled bottle, you will be required to get an old dry plastic bottle then pierce several holes continuously on its side.
Homemade Dog Toys
Unlike the first recycled bottle idea that has the food coming out of the lid, the pierced recycled bottle concept has the food coming out of the piercings on its side. Alternatively, you can decide to take the plastic bottle and fill it with water up to the half mark. After you complete the first step, you will then freeze the bottle on its side. This particular toy is ideal during the hot months when your pet will be in urgent need of some cooling effect.

Samsung Galaxy S7 edge Flip Covers
I'm coming from an HTC One with their fabulous dot case, so my standards are pretty high. First I bought a clear PC (hard, polycarbonate) case with TPU sides (soft, thermoplastic polyurethane) and no cover, and added a Yootech screen protector. A good option, but the case sides somewhat obscured the screen edges, and made using the screen edges harder. I also missed the better screen protection and functionality of my old dot case. Then I tried some wallet cases which were nice, but as soon as I added any cards or cash they became too thick and unwieldy, so I abandoned that idea. Next I discovered Samsung's S-View cases on their website, but the prices were prohibitive, so I checked Amazon and found them for less than half their retail prices and bought both. First to arrive was this full screen case which was more like my old dot case, but the cover had a tendency to move around, never resting properly on the screen unless it was pressed against it, either in my pocket or resting face down on a surface. Otherwise a nice solution which I'm keeping as my backup case. The S-View window case was next to arrive, and because of its folio design the cover tends to sit in the right place more often than not. It also adds the ability to place calls and take square photos (instead of the usual wide aspect) as opposed to the other S-View which only permitted answering calls. If you're not using the phone's smart lock features, you'll have to open the case to unlock it first defeating the convenience of closed case operations, so by all means activate these features to take full advantage of the case's capabilities.
Looks very classy and works very well. The previous version for my Galaxy S6 Edge was a fingerprint magnet and it scratched the screen. I've been using this one now for about 2 months with no screen scratches and very few fingerprints (those that do appear over time are easily removed). Samsung did a good job of correcting all the deficiencies of the previous version. I bought 6 different cases for my S7 Edge trying to find the right one. This is the one I chose to use on a permanent basis. I really like this case and highly recommend it.

iPhone 7 Plus Hands-on Review

The advantages are the dual camera that has a 12 megapixels with 7 megapixels for the second camera with DSLR quality, which enhances the colors and quality, has 2x the optical zoom and records 4k videos. It has the A10 fusion processor which enhances its performance and balances the battery consumption. The retina HD display with 3D touch that allows users to press the pressure sensitive display that allows you to access shortcuts faster. Water resistant of IP67, meaning up to 1 meter. The storage size of 32 GB, 128 GB, or 256GB.
I have upgraded from an iPhone 6 plus to a iPhone 7 plus with hesitation. I was very happy with the 6 plus and was considering sticking it out for the iPhone 7S plus to be released. I mean, Apple introduced another phone that looked pretty much like the past two releases and I did not like that they took the ear jack out. However, the water resistance sold me. This was something that I felt would keep my phone safe when using outside in the elements. I also was very excited about the camera was getting rave reviews. So I counted the pennies and did the plunge. I opted on the Pre-Order with US Cellular picking the Jet Black iPhone 7 Plus with 128gb. As everyone knows, the Jet Black was a back order nightmare and I waited 4 weeks for it to arrival. I picked Jet Black though because it was a different look for Apple that I thought would appease my desire in change. I was warned up front about the coating being easily scratched so I had a case waiting for it when it arrived. Three days ago, it finally arrived! I immediately placed it in the case to keep the scuffs off the finish. But I have to confess that I have removed the case a few times just to admire the finish – It is gorgeiPhone 7 Plus Jet Black 128gbous!!! The black finish has such an appeal to me that suggests elegance. Now let’s talk nuts and bolts. The processor is zippy! I could see a difference from the get-go on the speed of opening apps and doing functions on the 7. I never considered the 6 plus a snail but in comparison….. I’d take the 7 any day! The camera is dynamic! I have found it so flexible to move from up close to far distant shots. Really nice far distant shots! The 6 plus had a decent camera but the zoom on the 7 is a whole new league. I really like the live picture feature on the camera as well. For those who have not experienced it, You snap a photo and it records a mini video of the second before the shot, second during the shot, and a second after the shot. So you can see the action leading up to the photo you had taken. This is done by pressing on the photo while viewing it. Its good for those viewing the photo to have another understanding what was going on when the photo was taken. Another improvement is the voice mail to text. Say you are in a meeting and a notification pops up that you have a voice mail. It would be disruptive to check the voice mail to hear the message left. With the 7, it prints the voice mail out under the play button. This is not merely a iPhone 7 improvement but can only be done on the 6, 6s and 7. Nice! So All in all, I am very happy with the iPhone 7 plus. I highly recommend the phone and can’t wait to see what the 7s Plus has to offer.
Overall I love it! Fastest device that I have ever used. I can out type the 6s sometimes on reviews but thiamine keep up no problem.
128g is perfect in size for most everyone. Hardcore photo and video people may want the 256g.
No headphone jack, doesn't bother me at all. The adapter sounds fine with my expensive headphones. It's not really that large either. The lightning headphones sound really good to me. I tested the same song with the same headphone using a 6s and the 7 with the adapter and I cannot tell the difference. In some ways the 7 with the adpater sounded cleaner and had a little less aliasing hiss from the analog to digital conversion process. So beside have a little while cable sticking out I think the 7 audio is fine.
iPhone 4,5, 5s, SE and 6 users will feel a huge speed increase. The 6s is not far off speed wise but it is noticeable to me.
No matter how you split up the payment or go with a upgrade contract price, you'll pay full price for any of the phones. It is all just creative math by the vendors. I bought mine outright and got point on my credit card, enough to reduce my price by $25.00. I also heard the Black and Jet Blacks maybe high in demand.
