Bought this to control my Matricom GBox Q2. It works great when its working at full potential. The major drawback to this is the range. Seems the optimal range is about 6 or so feet. Outside of that range you will have a lot of issues with the remote connecting and disconnecting to the dongle. Other than that its a great size and function combination. Internal battery is charged with the provided usb cable. Keys are backlite for seeing in dim to dark times. Makes typing a lot better than having to use an onscreen keyboard, which is the main reason I bought this.

It uses a USB dongle to communicate with the device you are trying to control so if your device doesn't have a USB slot you will not be able to use this product with it

Screen Mom Screen Cleaner Kit

I bought this mainly to clean my 60" Samsung LED tv after someone in my house try to clean the screen with something else leaving streaks all over the screen. Though the streaks could only be seen when the TV was off it was an eye sore for me. This stuff works great. No streaks and screen is spotless. I then went and cleaned my laptop screen, monitor, gaming monitor, cell phone, and tablet with it as well. Everything is fingerprint and smudge clear now!!!. The included micro fiber cloth is nice and big too! Contacted the seller about how to care for the cloth and the seller informed me to hand wash it in water with NO detergent and let it air dry.

Qi Wireless Charger for Cell Phones

Nice little wireless charger. I'm using it to charge my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 which has an Otterbox Defender case on it. I was worried if it would charge through the case, but no worries with this charger. Picks up the wireless charging quickly. There is a red light that indicates the charger is receiving power. Once you set a device on it and it is charging a soft blue light can be seen (You can see it in the picture provided). Charger works great and is nice to look at. I will be using this charger a lot. Will be kept in my family room so that company can also use it,

I received this product at a discount in return for a fair and honest review.

No more stiff neck!!!

This is the first memory foam pillow I've ever owned. Usually just use your standard cheap pillows that flatten out after awhile. That being said, this pillow is a nice change.

Upon receiving the pillow I removed it from its plastic bag that was contained in and began pulling on the memory foam like the instructions say. The pillow quickly began to take shape. The directions said to wait 24 hours but after just a few hours it seemed ready to use. Laying my head on the pillow for the first time felt great. The memory foam pieces allow your head to sink in some while the rest of the pillow holds its shape supporting your neck and keeping your neck in line with your spine. No more sore neck in the morning! Another great feature about this pillow is that it quickly regains its shape when you take your head off it, which to me means it is going to hold its shape a lot longer than your standard run of the mill pillow. One thing i did notice is that the pillow seems to retain heat more than my standard pillows. I would assume this has to do with memory foam as my bed is a memory foam mattress as well that tends to retain a little heat as well.

One thing I do wish is that this pillow was available in a King size because I have a king size bed and prefer the bigger pillows because of the position I tend to sleep in.

* I received this pillow at a discount price in exchange for an honest review. I have no affiliation with the company or seller, and was not paid for my opinions of the product.

Salt Armour Face Shield

As an outdoor person I am in the sun a lot.  Especially in the spring and summer months when it's fishing season.  I needed something to protect my face from sun and wind.  I placed an order with Salt Armour for an 8 pack of their face shields.  This things suppose to have an SPF rating of 40.  They are made from a stretchy material so that they will stay in place when you have it on.  I have a big head and was concerned that they may not fit or be way too tight for my comfort.  I can say they fit and feel great.  The awesome thing about them is that you can wear them in many different ways.  Some of these including as the intended face protection like you see in the picture, as a bandanna, neck protection, headband, etc.  These face shields come in many different prints from skeleton faces, clown faces, funny faces, solid colors, camo, etc.  They have a great variety to choose from.  They are lightweight and breathable for those hot days.  You can also get fleece lined versions for the colder times in the year.

They seem to always have a discount when you pay a pack of the shields.  I bought an 8 pack so that I could have some and give a couple to my father.  So if you are in the market for something of this nature its a much better deal to go with a 5 or 8 pack than to just buy one.

CSRET HDMI switch

First off my TV only has 2 HDMI inputs on it.  This has become a nuisance since I have more than two video devices that I use off and on.  Before receiving this switch I would have to unhook a device in order to use something else at times.  Currently I have an Xbox one, BLU Ray player, Roku, and GBox Q2 that I use with my television.  With this switch I can easily keep them all connected at the same time and quickly switch between the inputs with the provided remote (the remote I got with it was not the one pictured on Amazon.  Included remote has less buttons).  The remote provides you with a 1 button press in order to switch to one of the 4 devices you have connected.  The PIP function is ok but I wouldn't expect to be able to actually watch something on one of the PIP screens as they are small (even on a 60" TV).  The PIP function is more for seeing what's on the other inputs to see if you want to switch to one of those before disrupting whatever you are watching on the main screen.  If you are looking for a simple HDMI switch to connect up to 4 devices to because you're TV limits you to less connections, this switch should do the job for you.

Smatree SmaSpike for GoPro Cameras

Another great GoPro accessory for collection.  The SmaSpike is a hand pole for your GoPro that can also be staked in the ground, snow, dirt, sand, etc.  The spike attachment is threaded and can be concealed in the handgrip when not in use.  The gopro mount can also be detached so that you can extend it by attaching it to another Smatree pole that has the 1/4" threading.  Great accessory for shooting time lapse as well as for the those times you don't feel like digging out the tripod.  The SmaSpike is quick and easy to setup and get you filming quickly.

Can be purchased on Amazon here SmaSpike on Amazon

In this review I talk about the Joby GorillaPod Action Tripod for GoPro cameras.  I think this is a must have for all GoPro camera users.  Provides you with many different ways to use a tripod.  From using on a flat surface to wrapping it around fence posts, rafters, beams, irregular objects.  Great tripod for the money to add to your GoPro accessory arsenal.

This is probably the best bang for your buck pole out there. 3 poles in 1. Need a floating hand grip? Check. Need and extendable pole? Check. Need an extendable floating pole? Check, Check, Check! Only thing this pole doesn't do is cook you breakfast. What more could you want from a pole? Also the extendable portion and the floating portion have 1/4" x 20 threads so you can attach the lanyard or attach it to a tripod to get even higher shots. Extendable pole extends quickly and easy with the threaded locks. about a 1/4 turn is all you need to quickly extend your pole to whatever length you need (12.5" to 28" for the extendable portion, you get another 12.5" when using the floating portion) for a overall length over 40"). Smatree hit the nail on the head with this one. Don't go around or in the water without this! Water skiing, wake boarding, tubing, swimming, cliff jumping, whatever you fancy, this is the pole to have.
