I love the show. This is my least favorite episode., May 19, 2010

By 

H. Woodbury “heartful_home” (Texas) –

  

While I love this couple and family, I have to say on this episode, I side with their friend Dave Barry (not the humor columnist). (slight spoiler) They agreed to a budget, and basically spent over 3x that amount on the supplies, and wanted to get more money for their ‘fee’. They really put him on the spot with that. They seriously need to learn to work within a budget. With creativity you can find great things that are less expensive! Even so, they did some nice work for charity on this episode and the final product of Dave’s office does look great!

That said, I love their work and they have done some amazing things. I wish I could learn a little more about their design process in these episodes.

Case is awesome, despite some valid concerns…, January 20, 2012

Ok. So I read the reviews on Amazon about this case. And despite the concerns, I can assure you this case is EXCELLENT! In fact, my initial reaction to the case was negative. So here we go…

When I opened the box, I was initially disappointed to see two flimsy case pieces that snap together with no instructions! I thought this was a joke. $80 for this? It refers you to a web site where you have to watch a few videos. So, I gave it a shot. The videos are short and helpful. The first video suggests you do a waterproof test on your case for a full hour! I tested mine for about a half hour and I think that is even overkill.

Now the fun begins. You can put your iPhone in the case. This process was very simple. After the case is on, now you feel the full effect of awesome protection. Some reviews said the there was a gap between the front of the plastic portion of the case and the iphone, causing air pockets. That did not occur for me. It was an absolute perfect seal. I actually did this twice, once for my girlfriend, and on mine with no trouble. All the buttons work perfectly.

Now on to usability complaints. Some users complained about significant problems either hearing or speaking into the phone. I will admit the noise level is dampened “slightly.” With the phone turned all the way up, the ringtone is still significantly loud. It’s not really an issue. But this actually happened to me. My girlfriend’s case casued NO sound issues. When I got mine, it was significantly dampened compared to hers. I remember the Best Buy saleswoman told me when I bought my case that it is hardly returned and that one time it caused a muffled sound issue, but they swapped it out with a new one and the problem was resolved. Well… that’s what I did. And my second case was perfect. So if this is your issue, try another one. It worked for me.

On to the headphone issue and listening to music, etc. There is an adapter that plugs into the case/iphone and then you plug your headphones into that. I NEVER USED IT! I plugged my iPod earbuds directly into the iPhone and it worked beautifully. Forget the adapter. You only need it so that it completes a waterproof seal. I suppose you need it for extreme conditions, maybe you’re skiing for example. The sound was fantastic without the adapter. This is a non issue.

I’ve had my case for over two weeks now and already I had a mishap. It was on the table while I was eating lunch, and I got a drop of italian oil from my sub directly on the front of the case. No trouble! Wiped it right off. The case is completely water proof!

I bought the belt buckle for the case. I will admit it’s a bit unweildy, but not horribly so. It’s a bit of a pain to take on and off. Most people may prefer simply keeping it in their pocket (oh the case doesn’t add much bulk at all), or in their bag/purse.

If you want to do some research before buying, go to this link on the lifeproof website and watch the videos.

I HIGHLY recommend this case. It performs as advertised.

I love these boots!, September 8, 2012

Im 5’9 and wear a size 8 1/2. Unfortunately I wasnt able to find a black pair(Not sure if there is one or not) but once I tried on the grey pair I was sold…well they were lol. My pair of boots were not purchased on amazon btw. These boots are so comfortable, they do run narrow but the leather will stretch out if you have a B or D foot they will stretch out a little. Theyre very versatile as well, always a big plus.
So far ive worn them with skinny jeans and leggings =)

exactly as advertised, May 26, 2012

read or watch the instructions. i am in the engineering field and i can say i am very glad they made this cover. it fell out of my pocket and into a drum of 15w40 oil, all the way to the bottom. fished it out and worked fine, accidentally left it in a bag of tools throwing the bag around and it was fine. I was on my motorcycle through a monsoon using GPS and it was fine. my weekend adventures at the bar or club, spilled alcoholic drinks, fell into the toilet, dropped on the dance floor got kicked around and stepped on and it was fine. my adventure at the beach, skipped it on the surface and took videos at 7 ft (i lost track of how deep i was going, i would not try) and it was fine. snow boarding with my wife threw it about 25 yards so she can use the phone, missed the catch, ducked taped it to my leg to get videos while doing insane jumps crashing at times and it was fine. Road biking with my friends soaked in sweat and it was fine. i think the best one is being able to use a phone, search on the internet, play games, listen to music and not have to worry about dropping it or getting it wet while at an ONSEN( japanese public bath and relaxation) and it worked fine. as far as the jacks i don’t know what ya’ll are using but my car jack just plugs in. so hazardous material, alcoholic beverages, cold, hot, sand, pressure, impact, sweat, and my final one is dog grabbed it with its mouth and bit it lightly, covered with saliva, body fluids dog or human and it worked fine. its not indestructible but good God have some common sense even if you are as clumsy as i am. SAILOR APPROVED!!

Cute, Boho Bootie, April 10, 2012

This is a very comfortable bootie, fits nice if maybe a bit large. I had seen these on Anthropologie’s site for twice the price. My problem was with the color. On the web, they have a gorgeous, mottled, broken in appearance. The pair that I received was unfortunately all one shade of very bland tan leather. Not cute. I might try to reorder and see if I get a better shade next time.

Love this stuff, March 28, 2012

The girl who cuts my hair turned me on to this stuff. It works better than any other hair product I have tried. I don’t know what they put in this product but it makes my overly dry, dull hair, smooth and shiny. It actually changes the texture of my hair. It is virtually impossible to find in stores though so thankfully its available online.

Exellent, October 23, 2012

Color is beautiful. Skin is soft, high-quality. Shoes comfortable despite the high heel. My foot size 25, 5 cm I bought a size 8 US. Size went very well. We could take half a size smaller. I am very pleased.

HOT and unique but painful…, February 29, 2012

WARNING: 1) I ordered twice and both times there was a NAIL sticking out
on the inner shoe bed!!! I gave up the second time and went
to a shoe repair, who pulled out the nail for $10.

2) The ball-of-foot area is not at all padded!!!
This means you’re walking on the plain plastic sole and inner
leather lining combo – which is very hard and painful after
exactly 15 min. even if you’re just standing and not walking.

Buy a 1/2 size LARGER and wear very very thick soft SOCKS underneath.

Other than the pain, these are HOT and stable to walk in, due to the tight
lace up, you won’t be falling over or twisting any ankles. Also, I didn’t
get any blisters.

A PLUS: The beige color is beautiful the leather is very soft and well
manufactured!

Miracle in the bottle, June 29, 2012

By 

A. Moren “texas mommie” (Kansas City, MO USA) –

  

I used all throughout the 90′s and loved it. I switched to Bumble, forgot all about it, then was reminded about Potion 9 while trying to find other products on Amazon.

I am SO HAPPY they still make this! It is fantastic! My hair is SO SOFT but has style hold too. The ends are in great shape. I don’t have to re-apply during the day.

I had been using Bumble De-frizz and applying about 3 times a day.

I don’t wash my hair everyday and this holds between washes.

I was not a big fan of the tube, and not a big fan of this container either, but what’s inside? Oh yea! Big fan!
