User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars I don’t swim without it.
I bought this one to replace an identical one that still worked but was starting to show its use and age. It is a great aid in my endurance swimming.

5 Stars Can’t find these in stores anywhere in the SF Bay Area! Thanks Amazon!
Im a long time swimmer, synchronized and lap swimming… these are a staple for me – the new plastic ones don’t work. I have been unable to find them in stores anywhere in the SF Bay Area. Nice to be able to depend on getting the “hard to find” items on Amazon. Amazon Rocks! Thanks!

1 Star useless
couldn’t be used well. it doesn’t help anything.

i really would like to return or exchage something else.

i don’t know whether i can do it or not.

i just tried 30 second. it hurts. useless.

5 Stars Greater than I expected.
I bought this because I needed something to help me in the shower. I always kept getting water, shampoo or conditioner up my nose… and those nights I was completely stopped up, I could not breath at all. So I decided to get this Speedo Nose Clip, and it keeps my nose air tight, nothing can get up there. So now my sinuses no longer have to suffer from the water, shampoo, etc. And when I go swimming, I’ll be sure to take this along with me.

1 Star Worth 99 cents
Terrible product. I had several pair in the past but they have really cheapened this product. The wire is so thin and flimsy. The rubber wont hold to your nose. Every flip turn I do the pop off half down the lane. I suspect they are made in China. Disappointing coming from Speedo.

5 Stars Hannah Montana Washburn 3/4 size guitar
I’ve been playing guitar for 30 years, and I’m very impressed with this guitar! The neck is very similar to my San Dimas Charvel (no kidding!) in that it’s very slim and low profile. Perfect for little hands. My daughter is 7 and she loves this guitar. I plugged it in to my Marshall Vintage Modern and was amazed at the pro sounds I was able to coax out of it. The pickups are wired so that when the switch is in the middle, the pickups are out of phase and it sounds like a wah wah pedal cracked half-way open a-la Michael Schenker. The pickups do not sound like single coils although they appear to be. I replaced the tuning keys with some grovers, but other than that, this thing rocks. I might even buy one for me!

5 Stars Pretty Cool
Bought this for my 5 year old daughter and she loves it. I have been playing guitar for over 20 years, know alot about Washburn guitars, they make some really good guitars, this is no exception. But remember this is a beginners guitar, don’t expect a $2000 and up guiatr, it is what it is. Had to do a little adjusting(lower the stings)and it was good to go. Looks really good too.

2 Stars Poor Packaging
This item shipped quickly and arrived on time. It was very poorly packaged. It came in a huge box, which was barely taped shut. the guitar itself was in a smaller box that has been ripped open and not taped shut again. The smaller box was damaged. The guitar was still OK, despite the lousy shipping. The graphics are different then the picture here. In fact, the bridge covers up the N and A in MONTANA. It says “Hannah Monta” on the guitar!!!!

5 Stars Great guitar!
We bought this guitar for my six-year old daughter on her birthday this summer. It’s a mini version of an adult electric guitar. Its a perfect size for her to handle and she loves it!

4 Stars Fun for my little rockstar!
We bought this for our 9 year old daughter’s birthday. It was a hit, she absolutley loves it, we were impressed with how pretty it is. I only wish it came with a better amp, we are looking forward for our daughter to begin guitar lessons in mid-spring.

User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Made by Leapfrog? Really?
It’s a hard case that protects the product. So different than all the other “Leapster” cases. Please make one for the Leapster!

5 Stars It’s been great for us
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1WN5PQRGNCCL8 It looks as though the case is hit or miss for people. Thankfully, for us it is a hit and we’ve had no problems whatsoever with it. My six year old son can easily open and close the case by himself and we’ve yet to have the case open on it’s own (about 5 weeks of use).

The case is a hard plastic, with a foam inside. My son only has two games right now, but they easily fit into the recessed areas within the case. True, if the Didj is not also in the case, the cartridges do move freely, but that hasn’t really been a problem for us as usually if the case is in motion, it’s because the Didj is inside and being transported. The Didj itself fits nicely inside, very snug. The clasping mechanism is purely a pressure one that “clicks”. Again, this has proven no problem whatsoever for us in being too hard or too easy to open/close. It just…works.

The case comes with a wrist strap to attach to the Didj by stringing it through existing holes on the controller. There is also a cutout area in the case itself that allows this strap to come out, and so be used while the Didj is inside the case, as well–a nice feature.

The size is very nice, as it is low profile enough to not be cumbersome. It fits the Didj and four games, nothing more, making it ideal protection for everyday, all the time use. We keep the car adapter and headphones in the car, next to my son’s seat, for times when he’ll need those items. He doesn’t need to carry them with him all the time and I didn’t want or need a case that would hold *everything*. I’m glad that this case holds exactly what it does.

Overall, the case is slick looking, well functioning, and easy to use. At least for us.

Update 2/18/09: my six year old wanted to show how easy his Didj case is to use. See attached vidio review.

1 Star Case is cool to look at, but doesn’t hold
We got 2 cases free with a promotion from a retailer. No wonder… they really aren’t that great. The DIDJ fits nicely enough, but the case unsnaps all too easily. I’d hate to risk damaging the electronics inside if the case were to fall out of small hands. We chose to use a small camera case instead.

2 Stars Don’t waster your money!!
I bought the case to go with the new Diji I bought my daughter for her birthay. The case is not made well and is very hard to open and close. You are better off finding something suitable on our own to store it in. It would be nice if a case came out that would store the games a well without being a piece of poor quality plastic. This was a disappointing purchase.

5 Stars Case works Well
I have not had any problems with the case flying open as other reviewers have noted. Initially it was a little tricky for my 8 year old son to use, but he has gotten the hang of it. The screen on the Didj is easily scratched, so a case and a screen protector are both good investments.
