quality product
contrary to what i had read the case slid easily over the mp3 player without catching the hold button and due to what is probably a re-style it is possible to use all the buttons including hold with the case on.nice case does not add too much extra bulk to the player excellent delivery time too(ordered sunday got it tuesday morning)43

Review for MicroVillage - PREMIUM HDMI to HDMI Cable Gold 1 Metre:
But I needn't have been. It works brilliantly and it doesn't feel cheap. It is gold plated and feels sturdy. This is the shorter 1 metre cable as I didn't want to add to the mass of wires behind my telly.
I am very impressed with the improved image I now get, and had a geek-out when I saw that by plugging in an HDMI cable I had access to locked menus on my TV! W00T!

HDMI bargain
After speaking to friends who got"an absolute bargain HDMI cable for £15", I was a bit dubious about this three quid one.But I needn't have been. It works brilliantly and it doesn't feel cheap. It is gold plated and feels sturdy. This is the shorter 1 metre cable as I didn't want to add to the mass of wires behind my telly.

Polaroid 15 inch tv
I decided to buy this for our kitchen, on chance, after reading other reviews and must say I'm very pleased with it, so much so, that I also decided to buy the 19" model for our dining room, (yes I know, very sad isn't it!!). The picture and sound are really good and yes, ok, if viewed from below (40 degrees or less, like previous comments) then, for whatever reason, the screen appears to be very dark (so don't sit on the floor to view it!) but otherwise I think they are excellent value for money. I recommended them to friends who are equally please with their purchases.46

Review for Verbatim 43533 DVD-R 4.7GB 16x Printable 50 pack spindle:
WOW !
Considering I paid £12.99 for a 25 pack of the same discs from WHSmith, this 50 pack is remarkable value. I've tried several printable discs from other manufactures in the past, but I feel that these Verbatim discs are by far the best. Unlike some they actually burn at 16x and are easily printable giving you a smooth crisp disc every time. Highly recommended.47
Review for Thomson VS680U - Wireless TV Video Sender - Watch & Control Sat TV Around The House:
To start with the instructions for set up are terrible and I read them several times and was still none the wiser. I eventually worked it all out myself and got a signal transmitting to a room that was only around 10 metres away.
Despite having 4 transmitting channels, and I tried them all, the picture is extremely grainy and flickers. The sound is dull and crackly.
Very dissapointed as I thought being advertised as reaching 30 metres I would be fine with only 10, but it would seem you really do get what you pay for.
I subsequently purchased the sony version for £60 and now get superb picture quality and sound - dont be tempted by the low price!

Great little case
This is a great little case for all Sony Camera owners out there. It's soft enough to protect your delicate camera and yet tough enough to protect it from the elements. It does exactly as it says really. I'm curruntly using it for my Sony Cybershot DSC-W55 and have to say it protects it really well, doesn't leave any scratches or marks on the camera at all. It fastens with a velcro tab and has a small zipped compartment on the front for a spare battery or memory card. Overall, a great product and well worth the money. Much better value than other unofficial camera cases available. Plain, simple and good value for money.49
Review for Car Stereo iPod/mp3 Auxiliary AUX-IN input Lead Cable 3.5mm - FREE FAST DELIVERY:
So I took it back and they tried replacing it. I wasn't interested.. Checked Amazon and liked the look of this one seeing how it was durable and had a few decent reviews. It turned up today and it's top draw, especially at this price. I can move it into any shape to tuck away the cables and the sound isn't effected. That's all I wanted in the 1st place. 5 stars from me, great cable.

5 STARS NO DOUBT ABOUT IT
I had my head unit fitted at a Halfords a while back and I was lured into spending £7 on an aux in cable for my ipod classic while I was there. I thought what's the harm it's a simple cable and I don't have to wait for a slightly cheaper one to get delivered from online... However.. that cable was a total let down. After just one day if you bent it in any position, the sound would cut out of one channel. This definitely wasn't my ipod playing up..So I took it back and they tried replacing it.

Review for Sony MDR-E818LP Acoustic Twin Turbo Headphones:
Great phones, short cable
Bought these for use with a portable DVD player. No problems whatsoever with the sound quality nor 'comfort' level (I always feel if you have comfort issues with earphones you probably have them jammed too hard in your ears. I just place them in gently and they're fine). The only drawback for me is the length of the cable, which could be a bit more generous. Probably fine for use with a walkman/ipod but for what I bought them for, it kind of restricts the distance you can sit from the screen. I did notice before buying that a couple of other reviewers had mentioned this but foolishly I ignored them - now I'll probably have to buy some longer-cabled phones. So, I recommend them but only for use with portable music devices.51

terrible
provides no issolation what so ever. that meaning any back room noise will be audiable above any music you happen to be playing. Outside these are even worse, I use these to cycle to work and even the wind is far more audiable then any music even at the highest volume. For this price i would reccomend the shure range or the ultimate ears if your range is higher. Earbuds do not stay in ear sucurely like in ear headphones how ever indoors quality is good52

so good I bought a second pair!
I've owned several sets of wired and wireless headphones over the years, so I know what is good and so-so. These babies are excellent. I bought a second pair because I loaned them to my son and he loved them so much I couldn't tell him to give them back! They bring such quality of sound and freedom to listen to all media without disturbing the rest of the family. Get them - you won:t regret it.53

2nd time lucky!
Ordered the stand for my Mum after reading all the wonderful reviews. Amazon delivered in excellent time as always. Package arrived undamaged & well packaged inside. My Mum's next door neighbour assembled the item but part way through discovered two small parts were missing, so had to contact Amazon who were excellent at sending a replacement almost immediately. On further inspection iwe also discovered one of the glasses was very scratched & quite rough around the edges & the lead tidy at the back had small chunks out of it! However, I have to say the replacement one was in perfect condition & looks fab! Thank you Amazon for your superb customer service & for making this problem not such a big deal.55
Review for Belkin Leather Folio Case for iPod touch (2nd Generation) - Black:
My iPod Touch 2G fits in it perfectly, it isn't bulky, all the buttons etc. are accessible (except for the volume buttons on the side of the iPod), and ok, it smells, but hardly! There is just a slight smell of leather, but that won't take long to fade!
I was worried that the pink would be a shocking bright pink, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that it is a deep raspberry pink, and very attractive.
Overall it is stylish protection for my iPod.

Can't Fault it
This item does exactly what it says on the tin! I bought one, delivered next day with amazon prime, and within 5 minutes it was up and running. No Techy knowledge required, literally just plug it in the line between your coax aerial feed and the TV, locate the"eye" somewhere that it can see your remote control, and so long as you have turned on the RF power on your sky+ box, bingo, you're in business. (Turning on the RF power is from the menu on the sky+ box. Search on google and instructions are available)Great simple design, that works perfectly, no batteries, no hassle, no problem! I can't recommend this highly enough.

If you have got a real hifi (not from currys or a fridge seller)this filter makes such a difference in the quality of sound. tighter bass more defined treble and a purer mid range. you get as much difference in the sound like when you change interconnects or speaker cables. but if you have a stack system it wont make to much difference as you need the quality there to start with. Its cheaper on amazon than ebay so buy itTACIMA MAINS CONDITIONER 6 WAY WITH RF FILTER60

Quality cable - excellent value for money!
I ordered 2 of these cables (after reading other reviews) to replace the dissapointing 'freebies' cabling that came with my Sky HD box and also to connect my Blu Ray player to my Amp. The postage time was next day - brilliant. When the cables arrived I was very impressed with the build quality; it is clearly well shielded with quality connectors. It is v1.3 compliant and once I connected my HD box to my TV the improvement of the picture (compared to the 'freebie' cable) was very obvious in 1080i mode. Richer colours and better edge detail. If you want a quality HDMI cable, which does not involve re-mortgaging your house to pay for it, look no further than this cable - you will not be dissapointed. A quality cable and great value for money!!Music Accessories, Plasma & LCD Glass Stand Up to 42" - Black Glass & Chrome Stand, BLACK Genuine Leather Case + screen protector for Sony Walkman Video NWZ-A815, NWZ-A816, NWZ-A818, NWZA815, NWZA816 & NWZA818, Flip Video USB Cable, MicroVillage - PREMIUM HDMI to HDMI Cable Gold 1 Metre, Polaroid 1543WX - 15" Widescreen HD Ready LCD TV - With Freeview - White, Verbatim 43533 DVD-R 4.7GB 16x Printable 50 pack spindle, Thomson VS680U - Wireless TV Video Sender - Watch & Control Sat TV Around The House, Official Sony LCS-BDE Small Soft Camera Case for Sony DSC W55 W80 W90 W110 W130 T70 T100 T200 T300, Car Stereo iPod/mp3 Auxiliary AUX-IN input Lead Cable 3.5mm - FREE FAST DELIVERY, Sony MDR-E818LP Acoustic Twin Turbo Headphones, BOSE- In ear headphones, Sennheiser RS130 - Wireless Headphones, Bye Bye Standby Starter Kit, Levv - Glass Stand For Plasma & LCD TV Up To 32" Or 40kg - Black Glass With Black Legs, Belkin Leather Folio Case for iPod touch (2nd Generation) - Black, Verbatim 43246 DVD+RW 4.7GB 4x Certified, 10 pack, Individually cased, SLx - Magic Eye IR Extender - For Sky / Sky+ / Sat TV, Labtec headset 242, Tacima CS929 6 Way Mains Conditioner and Radio Frequency Interference Filter, 1m (3ft) High-Speed PLATINUM HDMI Cable (Full-HD 1080p v1.3b 10.2Gbps) PS3 XBox 360

Great product, terrible instruction
As per the previous reviews this is a great product at a good price and comes superbly packaged.The instructions are horrendous and i dont think they could be much worse without being absent altogether.
As per the instrcutions build it by laying the top face down on the floor, however you then need to remember that the middle shelf does not sit on the back support, but under it, meaning you have to use some of the packaging to support it until you finish it and then turn it the right way up. If you put the middle shelf on the support then the shelf will have a significant slope.
