They made these sleeves out the thinnest paper they could get away with. The similar Memorex sleeves are noticeably thicker.

I have used the Colombian brand of DVD/CD sleeves for years but finding them has become difficult so I opted to try the Maxell brand. They do the job but are a little thinner paper quality than the Colombian brand.

These sleeves do the job. The inside upper corners tend to stick just under the flap, but are easily loosened. I would recommend this product to anyone.

These are great for basic protection of DVDs or CDs. One must understand that they are not as good as the single cases but if space is a consideration and you need a thin covering these are just what you want.

These are the thinnest sleeves I have ever seen and I do not recommend them. For Quality, I give these a ZERO. They are is thin as saran wrap. [...]. I give these to the 5 year old to make little projects with. I would place the worth of these at about $0.99 per box of 100. And For what I need them for I wouldn't buy them for that. The 5 year-old loved them~

Cheap and all that I need. Very satisfied. I think it's cheaper than the clear ones.

These are very good, dvd's do fit very tight, would have liked some more play, but, overall great. Would like a black color as well.

I MAKE A LOT OF DVDS AND THESE SLEEVES ARE GREAT. I USE THE COLORS TO CODE THE TYPE OF INFORMATION CONTAINED ON THE DISK. HAVE PURCHASED A NUMBER OF BOXES IN THE PAST AND PLAN TO CONTINUE.

I used Columbia white CD/DVD envelopes before. I think this product might be thinner but does a good job.

What else can you ask for. Its exactly what is. paper sleeve that are colored and with a clear plastic window. Gets the job done to protect you disc for getting scratched or dusty.

Once upon a time, like many people, I felt a good, sharp knife was sufficient for slicing and dicing... and even chopping. Then I saw this innovative little device on TV. Since everything advertised on TV is worth buying, I figured this would enhance my life and provide new pleasures to a seemingly mundane activity. I was wrong. The Slap Chop should be renamed simply "Slap" as it really does nothing more than exercise your hand's ability to hit a spring-loaded device. The unit is cheaply made and not strong: it had difficulty chopping a tomato, for Pete's sake. And one might presume that a device partially called "Slap" would be designed to be slapped viciously, which turned out to be a requirement to get it to work even at the least acceptable level. However, that ultimately became its downfall when the damn thing fell apart. Moral of the story: use a friggin' knife like the rest of the world. Only in America would we try to replace a seemingly perfect device with a piece of plastic sold by a loudmouth on TV.

Tried chopping onions and just made a mess. It squishes and mushes the food without actually dicing into parts. Also, parts do not fully disassemble so it's very time consuming to clean. Bad product.

A complete waste of money and time. I bought one for myself and one for my friend - a mistake and utter disappointment. I tried to chop an onion, an apple, garlic, mushrooms - nothing worked. Each thing was just caught in the blades and I had to carefully pull out the pieces, risking cutting myself. Nothing was chopped at all.

My husband purchased this item for me for Christmas. It didn't work at all and I would not advise anyone to purchase this item. We returned it to the company and they did give us a full refund. N Chastain

I love my slap chop graty combo. not bad for the price, and it really does chop well. not so great with larger carrots, but they're hard for anything, even a knife, to chop up. the onion peel thing does actually work, not quite as well as in the commercial, but well enough!!!!! i highly recommend this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Charles Kuralt was the poet of small town America the way Vin Scully is the poet of Dodger Stadium. Relaxed, warm, folksy and deceptively insightful. He had a way of setting you at ease and somehow convincing you that the entire cosmos could be found in the minutia of this one fleeting moment. His beloved little program, 'ON THE ROAD' (1967-80) in which he traveled the backroads of America in a motorhome to show us the real heart of the country was eagerly anticipated by countless people every weekend - myself included. Once every couple of years, when I need a little lift, I get out my boxed set of THE BEST OF 'ON THE ROAD' WITH CHARLES KURALT' and pop in one of the three 60 minute tapes. I invariably end up watching all three in one sitting. It's as if once I'm on the road, I can't quite convince myself to pull into a rest stop. Just a few days ago I created a new Amazon Listmania List called, 'EXPLORE THE U.S.A.' in which I included this set. And then I felt inspired to view the tapes again, and decided to review them since currently only two other people have. Tape 1 - THE AMERICAN HERITAGE: We start out at the beginning (always a good place to start) when Kuralt takes us to the roaring wind-swept dunes on Roanoke Island, North Carolina and the site that John White and the early English settlers of 1587 decided to call "Home." We see where they lived and ponder the great mystery of their disappearance. Then it's off to Independence Hall in Philadelphia where independence from England was first declared, and where the U.S. Constitution was later hammered out. Kuralt relives those tumultuous times and his sense of awe and admiration is evident. "There were great men in those days. Never from that time to this has so much greatness crowded onto the American stage", he informs us. I for one, agree with him. But then Kuralt nominates his choice for "greatest" and takes us to Monticello, the stately residence of Thomas Jefferson and shows us the very bed that Jefferson passed away on one Fourth of July! Then we go "on the road" again to the survey site of the 1803 Louisiana Purchase. It's funny to hear Kuralt close the segment with the statement that "the French don't talk about it much." In The American Heritage we also get to visit Wyoming's "Register Cliff" on the Oregon Trail; the place of Custer's Last Stand at Little Bighorn, Montana; the old Spanish Missions of California; horseback cowboys in Texas; Dearborn, Michigan and the Henry Ford museum; Tuskegee University and the inspiring story of Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver; and then to the annual Town Meeting in tiny Stamford, Vermont where pure Democracy is practiced. Kuralt closes tape one with the comment: "All these places that we have visited are waiting for you to visit them, too. You'll feel prouder of the country afterwards. We do." Most of these segments were originally filmed for television in the 1970's and so the picture clarity is not all that we've come to expect, and once or twice a trace of political correctness may seep in (afterall, this was a CBS-sponsored program), but these are small prices to pay for such richness that can be enjoyed again and again. Tape 2 - SEASONS OF AMERICA: This time we go on the road with Charles Kuralt to experience the seasons. In Spring it's the "romance" of tapping maple syrup from trees in Vermont; harvesting daffodils in Virginia; at Appomattox Courthouse, where Lee surrendered to Grant, we find the blooming of the pink and white Dogwood's and learn that this is "the most American of trees being native to 40 of our states and native nowhere else on Earth."; then there's the indescribably heartwarming story of the old man of Surry County, Virginia and his 13 acre garden planted simply for the pleasure of others, and the surprising twist at the story's conclusion. In Summer we go tubing on a river in Wisconsin; we participate in the funny, but heartfelt 4th of July activities in the small towns of the midwest, and in the Tom Sawyer Days celebration in Mark Twain's, Hannibal, Missouri. It just doesn't get more "American" than this! Autumn finds us in Pacific Grove, California for the mysterious butterfly migration; Colorado Springs for the pumpkin harvesting by countless school kids at the Venetucci Brothers farm; and of course, Kuralt takes us to New England for the "shower of scarlet, lemon and gold leaves" and wood pile constructing in preparation for Winter. In Winter, the horse, "Babe" takes us for a ride in an 1890 sleigh in Connecticut; in Miller's Mills, New York, we follow the honored tradition of genrations past in cutting and storing pond ice for next July's ice cream social; and we finish the year with the inspiring story of the miraculous Juniper tree in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and its yearly Christmas message to everyone "on the road." Tape 3 - UNFORGETTABLE PEOPLE: Kuralt introduces us to many types of people here, like Bill Patch, who converted his old Nash Rambler to run on corn cobs - gets 3 miles to the bushel. With the price of gas, I'm ready to buy one! But my favorites were from the Carolinas: Jethro Mann, an old black man in Belmont, North Carolina, and Agatha Burgess, an old white woman in Buffalo, South Carolina. Mann, entirely at his own expense, restores old bicycles and loans them out daily to the poor kids in town so that they can all experience the pleasure of having a bike and being on the road. Burgess spends all day, every day, cooking in her small kitchen so that anybody who wants to, can have a hot homecooked meal at a nominal price, and eat it in her own home. It's what she wants to do, and she tells us that she "always gets what she wants", and sagely adds, "But I know what to want." And then there's the wonderful story of the formerly dirt-poor and cotton-picking Chandler family of Mississippi. There's parents Alex and Mary, and their nine children, all who helped one another to graduate from college. We join them for their Thanksgiving celebration and watch as they are all reduced to tears in thanking God for His goodness. THE BEST OF 'ON THE ROAD' WITH CHARLES KURALT is a great set. It should be enjoyed by any viewer, and I think it would make an excellent additon to a homeschooler's library. If you can watch all 3 of these tapes and never once feel the moisture of joy welling up a little in your eyes, then there is simply no warmth left in you. This doesn't just mean that you're dead, of course, but that you've likely been dead for a good long while.

The late CK would be proud to find out that a lot of us folks still admire his work very much. He planted the seeds of kindness and goodness, showing us that there was and is much good in America's heartland. He showed us that most people are good deep down.

This video will reaffirm your belief in the simple goodness and joy that is America. The small town stories about gentle unknown American citizens that keep the spirit of their ancestors alive and well through age old family and community traditions.You'll see maple sugaring, daffodil farms, Tom Sawyer Day celebrations, and those glorious Fourth of July parades across the country. You'll witness the seasons pass across our nation and understand how its regional differences make this country unique. Delightful, funny, and uplifting. Charles Kuralt unaffecting manner brings out the best in people.

My 2 and a half year old grandson sits through the movie. He dances around during the seen where the carosel horses leave the marry go round. I wasn't sure he was old enough for the movie, but he is and he loves it.

I've been slowly replacing my VHS collection, some of which dates back to my childhood, with DVDs. My old VHS copy of this film had to be from the early 1980's and had been recorded off TV so you can imagine how muddled the quality was. I was amazed when watching the DVD version at all the detail that I'd missed out on in my old version. It was like watching a completely different movie at times! But overall, I love this movie! What's not to love? Dick Van Dyke and Julie Andrews? They're the best. Plus all those familiar actors and voices from other Disney films of that time period. The bonus features were fun too. The DVD arrived in the expected amount of time with the expected overall quality. I'm very pleased with the vendor, the delivery time and the movie of course!

I saw this movie many moons ago when I was in grade school. I thought it was a magical, entertaining story. I bought it for my 2 and 3 year old as something I thought they'd enjoy when they got to grade school. I was surprised to see them riveted to it for most of the program. I was doubly surprised they wanted to watch it over and over again! I'm pretty sure it was the singing and dancing that held their attention. This is definitely a classic that even little ones will enjoy now!

great movie i got for my grandson to see and own--he loves it and so do i....

Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke are just great together. Bought this for my granddaughters and they have enjoyed watching it along with their grandparents. A good clean family movie.

Brilliant, this was done beautifully and with the utmost care. But, rather romantically, I wish the tempo for the soprano aria had been a bit slower, and that not so much use of the non legato articulation in the tenor aria had been made.

This little item is exactly what I needed for my booklight. This will be much more economical than trying to run it on batteries alone. The shipping was super fast!! I was so surprised when it came in the mail so quickly. Thank you and Happy New Year!

Itty Bitty Booklight AC Adapter A necessary accessory for any avid reader. If you read at night for any length of time, you can save the cost and inconvenience of batteries. I hardly ever use batteries now. Pays for itself quickly.

I ordered this adapter as a package with The Phorm Light Voyager Book Light. Amazon suggested this adapter specifically for that light. The problem is that the adapter is not strong enough (too few volts) for that light. As a result, the light appeared to malfunction. While this may not be the manufacturer's fault, I write this review to WARN OTHERS. DO NOT get this adapter if you plan to use it on that Phorm product!!!

This works fine. A good value on Amazon. $25 book light would be useless without it.

As best as I can tell by enlarging the view of the Itty Bitty adaptor, the output voltage is 3 volts designed for a two cell lamp. Unfortunately, the Phorm fluorescent book light (four cell) requires 5 volts! I know this because I have a Phorm power supply with that rating. Three volts may suffice to keep the lamp on once lit and warmed, however, the voltage is too low to kick it off. Itty Bitty is probably a fine device when used correctly!

My flute teacher suggested that I get a recording of the Mozart piece I was learning and I found that James Galway had this recording. Oh, how beautifully he plays this and all the selections. He is indeed a Master! Thank you.

After hearing such glowing reviews on the Heather's Help for IBS webpage (where this audio set is often referred to as a "cure") and many stellar reviews on here, I tried this CD set out. My expectations were high, but there wasn't even a placebo effect for me! All these CDs did was give me some relaxation techniques, which can be a little helpful, but didn't solve the problem at all. I found Michael Mahoney's voice could get really irritating at times, and I LIKE british accents. I found that acupuncture and traditional chinese herbal medicine worked really well for me, with zero expectations of them working. If you're really stressed, and think that it might be contributing to your IBS, then give these CDs a try. Otherwise, its a huge (100 hours!) waste of time!!

Positive: I've been using the program for three weeks now, just before I go to bed. I've found the sessions very soothing--so much so that I have been unable to stay awake all the way through (on average, about 30 min). Per author, this is okay as your subconscious mind continues to take in the info. My IBS is very mild, so it is hard to comment on how the program has affected my symptoms. However, I generally feel less tense and am able to fall asleep easily and stay asleep, something that was a challenge for me off and on for quite some time. Negative: As some others have mentioned, although it is a 100-day program, there are only 5 sessions plus the Commentary Intro. Although I do not necessarily mind listening to the same session multiple times, I would have preferred more variety.

I haven't completed this 100 day course yet but I have been enjoying it. I'm more aware of when I tense up which makes it possible for me to calm down sooner and relax the muscles in my stomach.

I was actually pretty optimistic while starting on this program due to all the positive feedback written about it here on Amazon and other places on the web. However, I can not say that I have had any benefit from using it. My IBS is the same as before and my mood is actually even worse than before ... because in these recordings Mike Mahoney always talks about how I am supposed to start feeling better day by day, week by week and how I am gradualy learning to take control over my symptoms. He also talks about being able to live my life the way I want to live it etc ... However, none of that happened to me, and all I ended up with in the end was being very sad and dissapointed. I would happily pay tens of thousands of dollars for a treatment that would actually work, but this ... no further comments. I believe many of those who get anything out of this program benefits from the placebo effects ... which is extremely high among IBS sufferers.

To be honest, I was disappointed with the IBS Audio Program. I had purchased a Pain Management program and found it to be far superior. I know this product received many rave reviews which I based my purchase on but I have to disagree with their opinions.

Either you have never been to a real Luau, or you dislike your friends. This was a poor selection on my part.

Very pleased with my purchase. Product just as promised. Would purchase from again in the future.

Well, I had this great Hawaiian party last year with tiki torches and grass skirts. We started out with this music going and the liquor flowing and everybody was dancing and hootin' and hollerin' here in the lovely capital city of South Carolina! With the smell of pork cooking in the pit in the ground, the taste of lovely frozen blender concoctions complete with umbrellas and colored straws watching flying waterbugs in the 100% humidity--you'd have believed you were in Hawaii! I can't imagine why the other folks didn't care for this CD. I guess they didn't have enough grain alcohol flowing through their veins.

I have to agree with the other reviewers - this album is an assault to the ears. Please consider something else if you are looking for Hawaiian music. I'd recommend "Hawaiian Melodies" by the Voyager Series on Amazon.

Drew's Famous Party Music: Authentic Luau Aloha was GREAT. We used it for our luau and everyone loved the music. I highly recommend this CD for your laua.

I love this CD! Its great for meditation, just relaxing. I listen to this CD as back ground music while reading before I fall asleep. It is very relaxing. I espcially like the waterfall #2. I have over 20 CDs and this one if on the top of the list. Its right up there with Merlins reiki Cd's. There are others I recommend for meditation or for reiki work. Please see my other reviews .

This is very relaxing.

This is a wonderful album - I really enjoyed the melody that is used throughout the album, as it is incorporated in a way that does not become too repetitive. The album comes to a nice close with the waterfall element, and is truly a standout piece of relaxation music. Something about the melody in this album reminds me of some Yanni tracks, except more soothing and with a more appealing instrumentation. This is a superb album that I consider one of Llewellyn's most melodic.

Little to say here,other than that is a much cheaper version of the cartridge than in Costco which charges $54.99. Go for it on Amazon!

I purchased the tri-color ink cartridge. It would not print vivid colors such as red and yellow. I contacted HP and they insisted that the problem was the (HP)printer that they consider obsolete. I swapped out the old low level HP tri-color cartridge and it printed perfectly. Replacing the old cartrige with the new one produced the same results with the colors not printing. They recommended purchasing one of several other HP printers that use the FHP 78 tri-color ink. Then if the new cartridge still printed muted colors, it could be the ink cartrige itself. HP would not recognize that the cartridge could be defective in my printer. HP did not try and replace the ink or admit that the ink could be the problem. Very poor support for an expensive product (the ink costs $60.) It seems I would have been better off purchasing it at a big box store at a higher price with the hope of better service.

This seller uses First Class postage for shipping and I received my order in just a few days! I also like his 100%, no questions asked, guarantee. I had a problem with an ink cartridge one time and after sending an email to the seller, I had a replacement in two days along with a business-reply, postage paid envelope to return the problem cartridge. I would not hesitate to purchase ink from this seller again. Also, his prices are like one-fifth the cost of the name-brand (HP) Ink Cartridge with as good as, or better quality!

I was outraged to find that the ink fit my printer but would NOT work! When I put the information into the computer it said that it would work with this type of printer! I am letting you know so that you don't make the same mistake as I am. I am going to try to see if they will give me a refund...I will keep you posted as to how that went since the box is opened.

Was a very low price for the product that you get and free shipping made it all the better.

Do not buy this product if you're a Mac OSX user. I bought this being told that I could reformat this via Disk Utility but the drive won't mount or even show up in Disk Utility. After visiting their forums I found that tons of Mac users are having major problems with Seagate. I didn't find anything that would work to help the drive mount so I chatted with Seagate's support. They confimed that it can be "easily" reformatted but since it fails to show in Disk Utility you can't even get to it to reformat it. Support told me to try everything I had already tried from the forums and nothing worked. So I'm returning this to Amazon and buying something different. I rated two stars only because Seagate's support chat was quick and friendly. However this drive came damaged and nothing they said in support fixed it. Thankfully I bought this from Amazon which is the easiest place on the planet to return things for free.

This is a poor quality hard drive. It makes a lot of clicking noises; unmounts itself. I'm tediously trying to get my data off of it now, but after transferring a couple of gigs it dies again. Buy Western Digital

I got this drive to supplement my HP MediaSmart server. I don't have the server up that often, so this drive isn't either. However, after having it just over a year, it has completely failed. Obviously, this causes a problem for backups and mirrored files that will take a lot of effort to fix. I wasa long-time fan of Seagate drives - but this one shows me that they aren't what they used to be. For a couple of months it has been getting intermittent problerms - I should have known what was coming. Unfortunately, I waited until it completely failed. If you need a dependable hard drive, I recommend you make a different choice. I have a number of HP external drives that have been in heavier use for longer periods of time. I will replace this one with an HP and recommend you consider HP, too.

I bought a Seagate 1.5 Terabyte USB drive in January, 2010 from Wal-Mart. One factor in choosing this drive was the 5 year warranty. This drive failed (clicking, not recognized, crashed everything) in 17 days. Wal-Mart only accepts electronics returns for 15 days, so I e-mailed Seagate. They answered right away and said they would send a new drive. I noticed that my warranty was listed as less than 4 1/2 years, didn't understand. My "new" drive came and I could see that it was refurbished, which irritated me as a basically brand new drive had failed. I e-mailed. They answered right away and told me to try to return it to Wal-Mart, they could do nothing for me. Wal-Mart was great, they couldn't take it back, but they called Seagate. Seagate told them that they would only replace a dead drive with a new one within six months of purchase. Wal-Mart said that they were looking at my receipt, this drive died at only a few weeks old. Seagate said that the warranty starts WHEN THE DRIVE IS DELIVERED TO THE RETAIL STORE. Wal-Mart received this drive in June, 2009 and it was already more than six months old when I purchased it. The Wal-Mart manager couldn't believe what Seagate was saying. "Are we supposed to pull unsold units off our shelves after a few months? How can you treat our customers like this?" Seagate didn't care. (I have heard elsewhere that I might petition Seagate to have time added onto the end of my warranty, but there is nothing they will do about the drive being "six" months old the day I bought it.) I e-mailed Seagate again and told them I needed a new drive to replace my dead new drive. Seagate never bothered to reply. I will NEVER buy a Seagate drive again.

An excellent hardrive for the price. I got the 1.5TB version and I have been extremely happy with it.

After purchasing the WD back up system for my I-Mac, I installed it which was a very easy process. I feel very good on what it does and the continued protection thats there for my valued programs and memory bank. Thank You WD for a great product.

One of the worst computer products I've ever owned. Though advertised as a hard drive, this device comes preinstalled with amateurish software that tries to take over your machine. Even when uninstalled, the hard disk leaves a virtual drive in the computer that causes the drive to wake up and spin around periodically for no apparent reason. It's possible to download a fix for this, at least so claims the manufacturer, but it wasted hours of my time to find out what was happening and why. And if a company's engineers are sufficiently incompetent in the first place to put on unremovable resource-hogging software onto a hard drive, I don't want their software anywhere on, near, or within striking distance of my computer. Moral of the story: (1) Never buy anything from Western Digital; (2) Check Amazon reviews next time.

This drive comes pre-installed with multiple pieces of software that interfere with the ability of just using it as a simple extra drive. The worst part is that one of the applications is installed as "virtual cd" (an extra drive) that automatically appears every time the main drive does too. Not only is this annoying, IT TAKES UP SPACE ON THE DRIVE THAT SHOULD BE YOURS TO USE AS YOU WANT. Additionally it runs a menu bar application (I'm sure on Windows this appears in the taskbar) that I have been unable to disable. WD offers a program that disables the V-CD feature, but it doesn't remove it, so the space is still used. Additionally running this disabler requires a firmware update then the software must be run; not something your average user wants to deal with. If I had ordered this from amazon I would return it because I trust amazon to support me through the process, but unfortunately I bought it at my local best buy (I had a gift card to use) and don't trust them to be very helpful. If you want a nice clean empty space to expand your backups or store media STAY AWAY FROM THIS PRODUCT.

2 drives, 3 days, you do the math. First drive had faulty software, 2nd could not even be plugged in because the Drive was not installed correctly and the plastic covered the inputs. Could have cut it to void the warranty, but I've opted for WD to let me down with a 3rd drive...We will see how this goes.

I'm not overreacting seriously just read my review and you will understand how terrible is this drive, i will try to make an objective review as much as i can, I'm a huge Western digital fan (Always bought my internal and external hard drives from them exclusively) But this External drive is horrible ! and downloading the software/firmware updates does not fix its faults It's not sturdy at all and WILL fall with the slightest touch unlike their previous my books The POWER button on the back DOES not work for my unit so why is it there exactly? The included software require downloading updates to fix it but you will never get the 1GIGA~ Lost from the installed software (The updates only hide it and do not remove it) and removing this horrible software deny you access to the password protection feature Also after going through all the updating and so you imagine you would get your happy ending right? NO.. every time i plug my external hard drive now i get Windows Error pops up Western digital went from the best to the worst in the split of a second, they lost a customer for life with this horrible drive and i hope whoever is responsible for putting this hard drive in the market to get fired for the damage it did cause.

I read the previous addition but this book was given to me by my principal. It totally changed (and improved) my classroom management. Where I was struggling to get student attention and focus them and "threatening" them, now I have a plan...As a music teacher, I've been through some classes from august to mid-year (as I write this review) and not had to discipline ONCE!!!

I am a 14 yr teacher and have taught from 6th grade through doctoral students (not in education). He gives many "to do's" without considering the cost to the teacher. He tells teachers that if you don't have students' names on desks with something to do when students enter the room, you have lost the students for the YEAR and that you are an ineffective teacher. Never mind that a teacher may have 200 students and doesn't get their class list until the morning of the first day of school. He frequently implies that if one doesn't teach with his methods, one is an ineffective teacher. Fred Jones needs to be taken with a grain of salt. With Harry Wong you will need a block of salt.

Very useful and informative! Exactly what I learned in other classes but with more incite.

This book contains tons of practical information that education classes seem to pass right by. I actually like that it's a bit "homemade" looking. And I appreciate the "motivational speaker" aspect of it. I think a great teacher should be in part a motivational speaker too. I used the "Give me Five" technique for my class my very first year five years ago and not only does it work, but other teachers have asked to use my signage for it in their class. All of a sudden I'm a school leader on creating good classroom behavior! I think this book is a very good investment.

This book is very important for the first day of school. If you want to become a teacher of any sort, buy this book! Some of Wong's ideas are a little strong for my taste, however so many of these ideas are so amazing, they over look the less appealing ones. Wonderful book, easy to read, FULL of important information.

I have a Macbook Pro 13" and was afraid that it would be too big, but it turned out to be the perfect fit. I like the side pocket; I use it for any small items I need to carry. I wasn't to happy about the color until I actually received it; it looks great. The strap is very comfortable. Excellent product!!!!

The BUILT Laptop Sleeve was just what I needed to protect my pc from scratches or other possible damages while on travel. The strap is very ergonomic as well. I saved up to $30 compared to the original price from the BUILT website. Thank you AMAZON for assisting me with finding a great deal! PAYNE

I needed a lighter bag for carrying my laptop to and from work, and this is a perfect style and color. I have been using it for about a month and no problems with it; it seems very durable.

This bag is from first-rate material and my notebook feels inside very safety. There is many pocket for keeping every what you need in one bag, and everything in safety pozition.

I purchased this messenger bag after returning two L.L.Bean laptop backpack bags (quality has gone way down in their bags since I was a kid). I used to own a Wenger Patriot (rolling computer case with seperate laptop case) but found it too big for my needs. However, I always remembered how durable it was, which lead me to look for a Wenger product. This messenger bag has quality stitching, a reinforced handle, solid construction, and it is very stylish. I most definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a lightweight laptop case, as it does fit the newer 17-inch screen sizes. It has a partitioned file compartment behind the laptop compartment and extra storage in the front area for accessories and supplies. It also has a pocket in the back for magazine-sized items, as well as a small pocket in the front, enough to hold your keys, iPod and whatever else you can fit into it. Simply 5-stars across the board.

This bag is awesome; I love swissgear, super derable, and just plain cool lookin. I recomend this bag for anyone who likes quality.

I bought this bag a few months because it looks very sturdy and well padded. Unfortunately the straps are not sewn in well and within a few weeks began to rip. I bought this at another store and they would not return it. I then tried to get it repaired but only partially was covered because they felt it was normal wear and tear. I got a friend to somehow sew it together and it held up nicely for a while. Unfortunately today the handle simply broke. This is a very nice looking bag but its definitely not for daily use. I have a 15" notebook and can only fit one other small book along with the laptop. This on top of the shoddy strap and handle make it not worth the price. Look elsewhere for a bag with metal straps that are well designed if you need a bag for daily use.

Bought this bag for my daugter for college. She used it for a bit then went back to an old bag. I carried it briefly and also went back to another bag. The flap is floppy. The bag is heavy. Just didn't suit either of us.

My grandchildren love this product--they are 5 and 7. The 5 year old carries the pen around with him and listens to the stories that way!

This is a great concept but stopped working after one use. The "pen" won't turn on even after changing the batteries. According to the "warranty info" I can't just return it to the store of purchase. I have to go through Leap Frog's customer service dept. Of course they are under staffed- they are "experiencing unusually high call volumes" (I bet that recording runs 24/7) and my hold time "may exceed 20 minutes" before getting to speak to someone (I've been here for 15 mins so far). This is criminal in my opinion. I shouldn't have to go through hoops and spend tons of time on the phone to get my [...] toy to work. I have 4 kids. No time for this. No more Leap frog toys for us!

I bought this for my son who will be 3 in a few months. I know that the product says 4 and up but he already knows all of his colors, shapes, letters and numbers so I felt that he would be able to use the Tag longer than the Tag junior. After comparing them I really felt that the more advanced parts of the Tag junior can be down with the Tag. The biggest difference is the device that you use on the books. I think that the kids will have to be careful with the pen tip because it is small it may break.... mine hasn't yet and my son can be a little rough with things. :-) He understands to point to the different pictures to make them talk and to point to the purple circle that will read the whole page. We played with the demo that Leapfrog has on their website and he really loved repeating all the words that the computer said so I knew that he would like it. They have a few videos of the Tag Junior there as well so you can see a comparison.

Quite misleading: the picture on the box shows a Tag Reader (Pen reader) so I was expecting one but when I opened the box : it just contained the books! At the least, warn the customer that the Tag Reader is SOLD SEPARATELY!

My daughter received the tag with a few books for her 4th birthday. It is a source of entertainment and learning everyday. She loves to "read" a few books everyday, which gives me some quiet time!

We got this as the first game for my six-year-old daughter's new Leapster 2. She wanted a DS, like her brothers have, but I thought she was too young for that. She likes the game, and I saw that she played it a lot when it was new, but I haven't noticed her playing it that often lately. She prefers the drawing game that comes with the Leapster over this game. However, my three-year-old could play it for hours, even though it is above her level of understanding. From what I have seen, you are given a picture, and you are told to find certain items in the picture. You use the pen to pan around and select objects. There is also a game where you match items that rhyme or match items with their initial letter. Good learning activities, but there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of variety, though, and maybe that's because my kids play the same level over and over. There are three levels to choose from. I got this item for a very good price, so it was worth it to me. I have not tried any other games, though, so I can't give a comparative review.

This was a huge success with my four-year-old on Christmas! HE loves playing this (for HOURS at a time) and I would highly recommend this to anyone with a Leapster.

I bought this for my four year old granddaughter's birthday. When I read the description here it said manufactors suggested age was 4 to 8. I thought great she can do this, since she is just turning 4. I was very displeased to see that when it arrived it is for grades one to three, ages 6 to 9. Why is this misrepresented?? This is not a game for a 4 or 5 year old. Grossly misrepresnted, and being returned!

we all like looking for I spy, the whole family works together on finding the items, and getting the maps pieces

I bought this game for my 4 year old since she loves the I SPY book series. It was a wonderful game to play along with her. There is a memory game, building game like Tetrus, and lots of I SPY hunts. There are 3 different games to play and once you find the treasure your child will feel so proud of themself. I highly recommend this Leapster game.
