Foldable Backpack Review




This is a unique backpack being able to fold up into a very small size for storage and ease of carrying. Currently it comes in three colors red, black, and blue. The one I ordered was black and it is not a true black. It seems to have a blue tint to the color reducing the black in the material.


This backpack is similar to most backpacks as far as space and size is considered. It is not built from the strongest materials so I would not over load it with anything really heavy. I am guessing if they went with heavier materials it would not be able to condense to such a small bag. Personally I use mine for when I travel. I can add it inside of my suitcase and it barely takes up any room. While I am out on my trips and find things I just can not live without I use this backpack to keep them in. I usually buy a couple of shirts and some other trinkets for the kiddo's while I am away so this bag works perfect.


The only thing about this bag that I find extremely lacking are the zippers. They catch on anything and are a very loose tracking zipper. The rest of the bag seems to be stitched together to with stand normal use as long as it is not a heavy load. I am going to say about 10 pounds should be about the max weight you should carry in it regularly. Folding the bag into it own carrying form is easy to do and sometimes a pain with the zippers catching everything in its tracks.


If you are looking for a very light weight, compact, and useful backpack this is a great one to consider. It has unlimited purposes for everyday life. Great for camping, trekking, school bag, or storage bag to mention a few. I would like to thank InstaUber for sending me this foldable backpack to try out and share my opinion.

Microfiber Towel Review




This is a mircorfiber towel that is actually decent sized. It is roughly 24 inches by 48 inches. It is 100% hypoallergenic so there are no worries of an allergic reaction to the material. Upon ordering this towel it came with a very nice bag to store it in.


I use this when I am at the gym. I leave it hanging in my locker once I have completed my shower after my work out. It is a very thin material so it is not hanging there bulky and in my way while I am after other items in my locker. This is a very important aspect since you are dealing with a very small area for storage. Folded up and in the carrying bag it is about the size of a standard envelope. It is about an inch in thickness inside the bag.


Care for this towel is the same as any other microfiber towel. Do not use fabric softeners or harsh chemicals like bleach. I use a delecates bag to wash mine so it does not transfer lint to my towel. If you do not use a bag similar to a delecates bag then you need to wash it with only other microfiber towels to prevent the lint transfer.


This towel is much larger then the normal microfiber towels I have seen and used. Most about 2/3 the size of this towel. That can make it a bit diffcult to get to the small areas in the back. These towels are designed to absorb huge amounts of water, up to 9x I think is what it said. I have no way to figure that out, all I know is I do not have a problem getting dried off with this towel. The towel surface does take a little bit to get used to because it is made differently. That does not take long at all once you feel how well it does.


If you are looking for a great towel for drying off after a shower, at the pool, or lake this will certainly be one you should consider. I would like to thank Neo Towels and affiliates for sending me this towel to try out and share my opinion.

Glytterati Men's Ring Review




This is a mans ring sizes 9, 10, 11, and 12. The total width of the band is 8mm. It is a titanium with some gold plating in its design. Being made from titanium makes it a very durable ring that will last for years.


For starters this is a titanium ring so you should never have to worry about getting the discoloring effect from wearing it. Next the plating so far seems to be holding up well. It has not shown any signs that it is going to lose its luster either.


Now the design is a really simple pattern. The ring is all titanium. The center part that is visible is the only part that shows the silverish titanium color. The rest of the band is plated with gold. This is a very simple band that can be used for a stater ring for someone new to wearing jewlery since it is very inexpensive. It is great for those people that work at a job that work alot with their hands because of the build and durability. Another great use is for those couples just starting out and do not have a great deal of money for wedding rings.


If you are in need of a simple design band to wear this will cover all your needs. It will last a very long time, it should not have a chemical reaction to your skin, and is very cost effective. I would like to thank Bizeev LLC. and affiliates for sending me this ring to try out and share my opinion.

DBPower Bluetooth speaker Review




This is an outdoor Bluetooth speaker that is water resistant. It is model number BX-400 which is also the code you search for on your device to pair it with. Upon ordering this unit it came with the speaker, D-ring, USB to micro USB charging cable, 3.5mm male ends jack, and an instructions manual.


The sound quality of this speaker is very good. It does not create an very loud sound but it is very clear. The speaker hits all 3 ranges tweet, mid, and bass. The bass is a little lacking as with most of the mini Bluetooth speakers. However it is present and can be heard clearly, but it is not a driving bass. The volume control on the speaker can be a pain until you figure it out. You have to press and hold the volume button and then after a second it will start adjusting. If you press the buttons quickly all it does is change the track you are listening too. The speaker at full volume did not have any distortion, it remained crisp and clear through out testing it on country, R&B, hip hop, and rock music.


The speaker is very simple to use. At the top there is a silicone flap covering the ports for the charging cable, 3.5mm jack slot, SD card slot, and the on/off switch. This speaker allowing direct connect to an aux port with the 3.5mm jack slot can be used in your car or any other stereo that takes this type of jack. Next is the charging port, this is your typical micro USB port for charging. I was able to charge the speaker from my desktop, 110w to USB wall charger, and laptop. I could get it to show charging with my portable back up battery charger and light socket in the car but it would take forever to get the speaker charged. The charging of this unit takes about 4 hours when plugged into a wall socket and about 5 attached to a desktop or laptop. A full charge on this speaker will make it where you can play the speaker for about 6 hours before needing to recharge. While it is plugged in and charging there is a red light on the unit that signals that it is not complete on charging.


Now for the pairing. There is a voice that tells you in a full sentence that it is ready for pairing and when it is paired. I was able to pair it to 3 different cell phones, 2 different tablets, and my laptop. Each device found the speaker in seconds. Then I clicked to pair the device and it took longer for the woman to say it was paired then it took to pair the devices. Once it is paired and the power is turned on there is a blue light on the front of the speaker.


Lastly it comes with a D-clip. This is a simple clip that attaches to the back of the unit. This makes it where you can hang it in the air if you need.  The speaker is also water resistant which means it can take some splashing and sprinkles but do not put in a tub of water. Over all the quality of this speaker is very good. It is easy to set up, pair, charge, and great for outdoors. If you are looking for a quality sounding Bluetooth speaker this one will certainly meet you needs. I would like to thank DBPOWER and affiliates for sending me this speaker to try out and share my opinion.

Tushi Watch Review




The watch is a 1058 sports watch from Tushi. This is a watch designed for many purposes. The main reason of this watch is the part of being a pedometer. The watch has a silicone band with a standard plastic watch buckle. The face of the watch is fairly large and easy to read.

To start with the watch has fucntions of being an alarm clock, stopwatch, a count down timer, step memory for the pedometer, and a hear rate mode. You can set up to 2 alarms with this watch. It is a nice stop watch if you are needing to time an event. It is easy to get into this mode, start, and stop. You can use it for a countdown timer. I use it when I am baking something. I set the timer on my stove and then on my watch so I do not forget about what is cooking if I am busy doing other things. Has saved me a lot of crispy eats. The pedometer is really cool but it does not always catch every step, which is not a bad thing since you are walking for the exercise. I found it usualy misses about 1 in 10 steps so when you have made your goal buy the watch pedomenter you have done an extra 10%! These results can be stored in the watch to track your progress. Next is the heart rate monitor. There are two places on the front of the watch that you have to press on and not move your fingers. This is not very accurate sadly. It however can let you know if there is something really wrong because it will show a high rate regardless if something bad is happening.


The display of the watch is rather dull and can be difficult to read if you have any kind of vision issues.  The display is about the size of a 50 cent piece. On the sides of the display there are 4 buttons. The top left is a light function. If there is any light on you can not even tell it is working it is that dim. Next is the bottom left button; this is the mode button. It changes between the differnt watch functions. The two buttons on the right are the up and down functions for your stop watch and count down timer. On the face of the display at the top and bottom are the sensors for reading your heart rate.


In all the watch is extremely average for a sport watch. What the band is made from makes it look like it would not survive any kind of snag. I did do a little bit of pulling on the bands to see if it gave easy. It did not so it could take some snagging as long as it did not have the full force of a swing behind it. On the back of the watch there is a stamp saying it is water resistant 5ATM. The watch is an average watch to consider for those looking for a way to track on a pedometer. I would like to thank 1001 Enterprise and affiliates for sending me this watch to try out and share my opinion.
