5 Stars GREAT BUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This product is TOP NOTCH!!! I got it on Amazon for [...] bucks thinking the quality would be so so…boy was I surprised! The packaging was excellent, the controls are SUPER easy and the sound is a 10 out of 10. I was shocked at how great it sounds. And it is water resistant! WOW…If I had to price this I would easy say it is a quality product worth well over 65$. My only issue is it didn’t come with a electrical cord to plug into a socket, bascially it only works with batteries(unless you pay extra for the cable).If your searching for a small Ipod boombox(about the size of a hightop shoe) your search should stop here…mine did. I use it by my pool and can hear it clear as day from 30 feet away. I have already bought 3 of them since for family and friends and they LOVE them. In my opinion, anyone on here giving poor reviews must be crazy. :)

4 Stars This model does not work with 3g iPhones.
For the money it is fun but not great. There is another model, according to manufaturer that will work with the new iPhone but this model only works with an older iPod and I am not sure if it will work with the iPod Touch.

5 Stars great unit
the ihome2go is a great little mp3 speaker case. its perfect for hotels (MUCH better fidelity than the clock radios), beach, park, etc. it actually has great sound and volume for such a compact device and keeps your ipod well protected from all the outside elements. you can control the basic functions of the ipod from the outside and there is a line in jack for all the other mp3 players too.

4 Stars Excellent little product
Good quality, decent sound and a great price. If you’re looking for something to have on the beach of maybe your backyard, this is the right one.

5 Stars hardy tool
I am a mobile in-home therapist working with small children and this is a perfect addition to my equipment. I don’t worry about small, curious, quick and mighty hands destroying it, has great sound and volume for my needs and the storage for the mp3 is such good planning. I’m sorry that there isn’t more generalizing of docking ports, etc. among the electronics brands, but I knew what I was getting into, and with the auxilary inputs available I can make it work just fine for me. Good job!

Techno Source Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader Electronic Table Top Game

Techno Source Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader Electronic Table Top Game




The hit game show comes home with this electronic game, where one to four players try to answer questions that anyone who graduated 5th grade should know. It even features a remote control to “beam” in your answers to the board. Techno Source. Ages: 8+

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars It’s all been said…
5th Grader games are fun in general. I got this for my sister’s kids. They love it. They even hog it. And sometimes they get stumped by it. It is worth the price. Pretty sturdy. It has an occassional freeze up moment. Which isn’t good when you’ve got several people who care about their winnings. Otherwize no quibbles or tribbles.

*Note: if you want the downside of things: The screen is tiny! Come on toy makers, not every one can read tiny print…. size about an inch.*

5 Stars very much educational for 10+ kids.
Are you smarter than 5th grader is very educatonal game for 10+ years old kids. My Nephew and NIece enjoyed it very much.I brought it from USA and they are in India and they are still having fun and playing it.

1 Star does not work!
it’s terrible. it didn’t work at all. would stop after a few seconds. I changed batteries three times and still nothing. I moved it around like they said because of “Static electricity” but still did not work. I emailed them for a replacement but never heard anything.

4 Stars I’m smarter than a 5th grader!!
I think it’s a pain to have to adjust the settings every time the game is turned on. No one can read the questions with the default settings, unless someone is a speed reader with incredible eyesight. It would be nice if the game allowed the setting to remain set until manually changed. The questions are challenging, however, and we’ve had a lot of fun playing this game with friends.

Measures 1.5″H x 2.75″W x 8.75″L.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Adorable! Looks like a real remote that kids always love to play with!
After searching for some time for a play remote for our daughter, we found this at a local Walmart store. It’s EXACTLY what I had been looking for!

Looks close enough to the real thing that your baby shouldn’t be too disappointed when you swap your real remote with this one.

My daughter loves how the blue eyelids close.

All the buttons makes SEVERAL sounds – the volume buttons on it actually do turn it up and turn it down in volume!

Her favorite button to push is the number 6 because it plays cute music.

Teaches numbers.

I always bring this with when we travel in the car or shopping at the mall. Small enough to fit in your purse, but big enough to occupy their time for a while!

VERY durable – I can’t count the number of times it’s been thrown around and dropped and it works perfectly!

I just love it! The batteries seem to last forever in it too which is a huge plus!

Buy it, you’ll love it! We’ve had ours for well over a year now, it’s in perfect shape, and our 19 month old still loves it.

3 Stars Good idea
I picked this up because I thought it looked like a good idea, since the color and shape similar to “real” one, and indeed it is. However, once my son was able to figure out how to work all the sounds, he was also able to figure out it wasn’t the “real” one!

5 Stars Happy with purchase – really cute and baby loves it
Our 8 month old was fascinated with the real remotes, so we were hoping this would be a good distraction. It’s working…she likes this toy. It’s really cute and each button has several different sounds/sayings, so it doesn’t get too repetitive.

5 Stars Saves My Remote!…
This toy caught my eye because it looks almost exactly like my actual TV remote. Same color, shape, even the buttons are similarly placed. My son has an obsession with our TV remote, and whenever he gets his little hands on it, it takes me forever to undo whatever it is he’s done to the TV settings!

As soon as I received this, I didn’t give it to him right off. I placed it on the arm of our couch (where I tend to place our actual remote) and let him find it on his own. When he spotted it, he made a mad dash for it, and was just thrilled to pieces! He kept looking at me sideways, wondering when I was gonna take it away, and sat quietly on the couch with it for some time!

I absolutely recommend this little toy! I never put it with all his other toys, I always keep it in the living room where the real remote is so he can feel like he’s playing with the actual thing…this was definitely a smart purchase!

5 Stars Great 1st Birthday Present
Gave this to our niece for her 1st Birthday. Huge hit! Great for cars and public places to entertain her as it has volume control and fits in diaper bag easily.

If there was ever a toy to capture the spirit and personality of the star of the Disney/Pixar hit Cars, Walking McQueen is it. You can make him walk and talk, just like in the movie. Our hero comes to life with lights, voice and sound and this amazing feature that could only be delivered in the world of Cars. Just set him down and watch him do his thing. Walking McQueen goes one step further to bring you the fun, excitement and magic of this animated modern classic

4 Stars Cars Walkin’ talkin’ lightning McQueen
Got this toy a few weeks before Christmas. Great deal at Amazon for $[...]. Can’t find a better price during the holidays if available; and trust me I checked Toys R Us, Kay-Bee, Target, Walmart, Bj’s and not once did I see it on the shelves. A few days later after purchase, Amazon jacked up the price for $[...]. My 2 year old likes it but you really need a big space to really enjoy this toy and unfortunately our living room is a tad small and carpeted. Sure to be a collectors item for a child who loves Cars, and who doesn’t? So that being said, it is well worth it.

5 Stars Cool Car
Fun toy, easy to operate, you do need a large open space to really enjoy all that it can do.

5 Stars Walkin’ Talkn’ Lightning McQueen
This product was for a birthday gift for a three year old. He was totally enraptured by it and has had a lot of fun with it.

5 Stars My 4-year old nephew loves it!
My nephew is obsessed with “colleen” aka “lightning mcqueen” – and he loved it the minute he saw it! When he’s not playing with it, he goes to sleep hugging it.

4 Stars Still Walking and Talking…
Any toy that my high-spirited five year old boy doesn’t break within hours of owning gets my high praise. It’s been three weeks, and he’s even dropped Lightning McQueen on a remote control Jeep (which broke off said Jeep’s tire) and it’s still kickin’. I would have given it five stars, but it’s a little pricey, and it’s novelty wears off quickly.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Great for listening with someone else, but music quality not so good
This product is really good for listening to books or podcasts, but not up to par for music. It doesn’t have a good balance of sound, so enjoying to instrumentals isn’t possible. I would recommend it because it is great when someone else wants to listen along with you. Otherwise, stick to your iPod.

5 Stars iHome iH13B Protective Speaker Case for iPod
I originally bought the 1st one for my son who is stationed on Okinawa as my daughter shamed me for not sending him any care packages. Happened upon it [...] Well, it has been the biggest hit. He brings to on all his outdoor activities, beach, rock climbing, camping, hanging out with friends. It protects his iPod and for the size and price has an incredible good sound. And more important for the 20ish crowd it is LOUD. I think the newer model actually comes with a hard plug in-this one works on batteries but can buy a plug-in cord but compared to the price of the case is rather expensive..like $[...]. I have since purchased 2 more-one for my younger son and my son-in-law.

4 Stars good now, but had a bad one first
We really like the product,works well and the sound is good. The first one we purchased did not work and we had to send it back, The second one works well, but we did not receive the cord that enables us to use other mp3 players, etc.

2 Stars Disappointed
Received the product and it worked for a few weeks. Then the speakers would not work. It could only be used if you plugged headphones into the unit. Returned to Amazon and got a refund. While it was working the speaker quality was OK. Easy to transport. Maybe I just got a bad unit.

1 Star What a waste…
I got mine from Toys R Us,just this past Sat.

The only thing it played was the instruments in the background,the singing you couldn’t hear for anything.

I did everything the instruction manual said to do,if you have a problem.

It should be noted that I have an ipod nano 4th generation.

I was wondering if this thing even works with my player.

We tried it with my DW Sony Walkman and it played fine.

Tried her SkullCandy mp3 player,it played that fine as well.

I hate this thing.

I thought I would love,boy was I wrong.
