The Defender is a great product and offers a much higher level of protection than any other case I’ve seen, but it’s not foolproof. I have probably dropped my iphone about 20 times since got it in Nov. However, on Christmas eve I had it laying in my lap and stood up. My iphone dropped to the tile floor and when I picked it up the LCD screen was white with blue and red lines running the length of the screen on the right side. I took it to a repair shop and had to have the screen replaced. I too have the oil slick issue but its not a big deal to me. The biggest problem is the reason that I have dropped it so much is that every time I have it in the belt clip and happen to bump the belt clip even with my arm or hand the phone will fall out of the clip. Since the screen replacement and the belt clip issue I just carry it in my pocket. I work construction and have pretty much ruined or broken every phone I’ve had, but thought that this case would maybe help this one survive. Sorry folks but the jury is still out.

I feel, a happy customer only recommends and gifts the product he is using. I am thoroughly enjoying reading on Kindle and not only that – I am able to get back to habit of reading after break of long 18 years. I feel every cent spent on Kindle was worth, even though when today, I compare price it works out to be cheaper.

I have been a vocal promoter of Kindle since I have bought my Kindle Dx. And that’s not over – I gifted 2 Kindle in last one month. First one a 6″ Kindle and the second one a Kindle Dx.

But I feel, book prices for Kindle can be cheaper and that will surly offer a great value on cost.

I recommend Kindle for reading.

I purchased this product to help me monitor my progress in training for a marathon. It is a wonderful as it allows you to track mileage quite accurately without the hassle of planning routes or using maps. For the functions I use which are to track pace, mileage, heart rate and distance, the watch has been fantastic. I would highly recommend this watch to anyone who is looking for a simple and easy to use training GPS. The software it comes with and the online Garmin software also makes tracking and viewing each workout quite easy. I also use this on my bicycle rides – well I wear the watch on my arm, and it tracks the speed and distance just as accurately as on my runs. The only con I can think of regarding this product is that it can sometimes take quite some time for it to pick up the satellite signals. I can turn it on in the same place at the same time of day with no change in weather, and the satellite recognition can take anywhere from just a few seconds to several minutes with repeated promptings from the watch to indicate whether or not I am outdoors or have traveled a great distance(both of which are always no). It can be annoying when you are ready to run but have to wait for the watch, but it’s only a minor issue compared with all the great things this watch can do.
