I gave this as a gift, so I can’t comment on it, except the person that received it said it did a good job.

It’s hard to single out one flash memory card over others. They all do the same thing. All I can say is that this is a solid card and I’ve never had problems with it.

The OtterBox is bulky but shatter proof !!! the case doe not latch good to the clip. Any soft touch to the phone and the case will come out and fall to the ground. !!! Used it for a month then I gave up on it…

Sara Gruen spins a fascinating tale of murder, love, obsession, and life in Water for Elephants. The characters were interesting and well developed. Her portrayal of the elderly was spot-on without being stereotypical. That’s a very difficult thing to do; not many authors are capable of unraveling the story of an elderly character.

Her portrayal of circus life is intriguing, and the characters never failed to invoke strong feelings of endearment, horror, amusement, or pity. I wouldn’t call this a “must read,” but it is definitely an interesting story that was well written and well researched.

I wanted a pedometer for when I walk and run and it seems pretty accurate. I just wish there was a way to turn it off completely to save the battery.

My original review (posted on 01/31/10):
“When I opened it, I was pleased with its style and it worked as instructed the first time I used it. However, since then it hasn’t worked correctly. It tells me I weigh 88 lbs. when I actually weigh 140+. I tried it again several times and it’s continued to work incorrectly. It was entirely a waste of time and especially money. Please don’t waste yours too.”

However, just hours after posting a very poor review (see above), I received an e-mail from the company’s owner, William Geronimo. Receiving such a thoughtful e-mail regarding my review of the scale was a lovely and unexpected gesture. I think it speaks quite highly of the company’s customer service and care of their product quality.

Mr. Geronimo stated that “the scale typically is very reliable and consistent, but we obviously get a number of defects no matter how much time we put into quality control. It sounds like you maybe just got a lemon which does happen unfortunately… Obviously I would like to replace it immediately and get you a new one under our warranty program. We actually have a new version of this scale with ’step-on’ technology that we haven’t released to the public yet and I would like to send you. We strive really hard to put out the best possible products even though some percentage of defective products are unavoidable…”

Since I specifically chose this scale due to all the positive Amazon reviews, as well as its sleek style, I took up Mr. Geronimo’s kind offer. He promptly put the new, updated scale in the mail & kept me posted on its arrival.
I’ve since used it every day for a week and am happy to report it’s working correctly. YEA!

CONCLUSION: There are only two reasons why I gave it 4 stars (instead of 5). One is due to originally receiving a broken scale. And the second reason is that I wish the “tap” necessary to turn the scale on was more sensitive. However, overall this is a great, easy-to-use scale that has a much more upscale

Does its job well. If you attach something to it more than like 5″L by 3″W then the item will get in your way. Good for small pouch or multitool though.

Great value. Purchased for 8-year old daughter, who is not quite ready for a 24″ mountain bike, but wanted a 5+ speed bike. There are not many options in the 20″ style for under $150. She loves the bike and has no complaints at all while riding (other than the hard seat after riding for awhile).

Very easy to setup for anyone with average mechanical ability. The toughest part is to adjust the front and rear brakes so they don’t drag on the rims. Overall, a good bike for the money, and we expect to get 2-4 years out of Pacific Evolution Mountain Bike before moving up to a larger bike.
