Good start
This case is not what I'd hoped it would be. From the description I thought it was a case that was focused on impact resistance rather than the crush/anything resistance of the Defender line. In reality it's more for suited for light use, to protect a phone from occasional dropping. Since I use my phone heavily I decided to go with the Defender line. It seems to have the protection I need

Great case for the BB... best silicone case
If you are looking for a tough silicone case that can be easily removed but also protects your phone in almost every way then this is the case for you. It has a sort of "reinforced" backing to help also, very sturdy, have dropped it before and no problems. The charging port and the headphone jack slot, are easily accessible and you can hear and type great off of it. A+

Total protección
Muy buen protector, lastima que no portege el teclado del blackberry sino seria lo máximo, aún así las caidas de mi celular ya no son un problema, el material agunata bastante bien, la textura es ideal si tienes las manos mojadas no son un problema para sostener el bb. El mismo le da una apariencia mas moderna al celular, de verdad que recomiendo este producto.

Misleading Product Features
Thoroughly disappointed with the product as I was misled by the Product Features vs Product Description
The Impact Series is just a standard skin with all Buttons, Ports accessible, it comes with a screen protector - also a misleading product title "Impact Series".
It is nowhere near the product features listed on the item which mentions PVC membrane for keypad, Hi impact Polycarbonate shell & the third layer being the skin - this is probably the features for the "Defender" Series not the "Impact" Series which has been wrongly displayed with this product.

Good case. It has a grip that does not slip out of your hands. My only problem is that the protection for the sides is nowhere near as thick as the rest of the parts of the phone. There is absolutely no protection for the screen. With that, I will upgrade to the defender!

Dumb name...Great product!
This Bluetooth car speaker replaced my previous one, a Blue Ant Lite. This guy is so superior it's hard to compare....but I will. The biggest change is the automatic sensing of a paired phone. In the Lite, it was necessary to manually turn off, then back on the unit for it to sense a paired phone. Not with this one. Just move the phone into range of the speaker and the BlueAnt 3 automatically senses and connects to it. A GREAT feature. Also the quality of the sound from the 3 is far superior to the Lite. Finally I have not experieced any of the echo problems that were present on the Lite.
In short the 3 is a great looking, super performing BlueTooth speaker for your car. Spend the extra bucks. You won't be sorry.

Everything and more
I certainly had my reservations about this unit. I have always used the Bluetooth ear pieces previously. The initial setup was a little tricky for me but I found the english speaking operator after a few attempts and the rest of the setup was a breeze. It works outstanding in my vehicle - even attached to the passenger side visor. The first thing I hear when entering my car is my english operator locating the cell phone.
I am very pleased with the BlueAnt supertooth 3 and would strongly recommend it to anyone wanting to go hands-free.

BlueAnt Supertooth 3
So far so good. A few problems with downloading contacts, part operator error and Bluetooth 3 directions (which I found out is the most commonly called about problem). Haven't had it long enough to really give it a good evaluation. Makes me wonder why Amazon hits you up for a review so soon.

A good item, but hindrances in the design may make you look elsewhere...
As with most places, the cellphone laws are beginning to be implemented, not just in the United States, but in other Countries as well. Blueant did a pretty good job with the Supertooth 3, despite its shortcomings...

Firstly, it is a good looking system... gloss piano black with simple buttons and a magnetic clip for your car's visor. The size is comparable to the original iphone when it first came out but not the same weight of course. The multi language setup is a plus (recommend the british language as it is best sounding) and pairing with a Sony Ericsson test phone was pretty fast... uploading the contact list from the phone in less than 3 minutes. On a call it would say the person's name or is it's not in your list, the full number. Speaker quality is good although it tends to be drowned out by cars with heavy exhausts and the windows down. You also have the option of voice answering or manually pressing the buttons...

Now in that light there are some bad news... some people carry more than one phone for use and while Blueant states that it can be paird with up to 8 phones, you can only use one at a time... so if you use 2 phones, this one isn't for you. There were issues to pair Nokia phones with the symbian software. The 6120 classic which we tested would not allow the contacts to auto upload to the supertooth 3 and we had to manually do so. Also we found that incoming calls from the Nokia were not listed on the Supertooth's system and you had to manually press the phone's button instead of the speakerphone to answer. Dual sim phones also had a slight problem as well.

Call Quality was up and down, but more good than bad. People sometimes said you would "echo" as if you had an earpiece headset and again depenting on the road noise and the drone of heavy exhausts, the mic may get drowned out. Windows up though it was quite sufficient and to a point even clearer than the newer S4 that supports multipont. The buttons also were a little hard to press while driving and you had to hold it a while to shut it off.

But don't let these things deter you from buying this speakerphone. It is a good system if you have one phone and unless we were doing something wrong to pair them, we recommend not using this with nokia symbian software phones. Also if you have a sports car or any vehicle that is loud bear in mind that your noise may drown out your quality. Overall good product for the price.

Wired headset by plantronics is better
The device for the purposes handsfree communications fails badly in terms of clarity of voice call to the other party, a better option is a standard bluetooth earset. Cannot stream voice from laptop, no battery remaining time indicator. A graphic display and soft touch menu buttons would have been worth the price, but lacks that. No way to reset bluetooth security for pairing devices.

Does what it's designed for!
The only downside I have found to this particular reflector is that I can't hold it in the air myself (because I'm too weak =P). So I will need to buy a stand if I need it held up high. Other than that it has been fantastic. The diffuser is a LIFESAVER. And I can't imagine diffusing some of the situations I've been in with a smaller one. Once you get the hang of folding it up, it's really easy. And the zipper is fine as long as you zip slowly... you will have this problem with any zipper if it's not straight up and down, I don't think it has anything to do with the quality of the zipper.

awesome
Honestly the only flaw with mine was the strap on the case came unsewed, but I plan on adding a different strap anyway so I can easily attach it to my lowepro bag, so no big deal.

I also had a problem with a kink in the metal ring
I was super careful with the zipper when I zipped it up, having read all of the comments about the zipper. I noticed right away there was a kink in it, where the metal frame was joined together. As I tried to fold it back up, the folding motion put a lot of stress on the metal, and the kink turned into a 45 degree angle. This was the first time I used it and folded it back up. I barely was able to collapse it to get it back into the package so I could return it.

The rest of the diffuser, including the zipper, looked first rate. Thanks to Amazon's great return policy, I'm not afraid to order another one from Opteka. I'm willing to give them one more chance. If this doesn't work, I'll have to shell out the big bucks for another brand.

exactly as described
Seller shipped the item quickly, it came exactly as described and I have used it on a shoot already. Super portable and easy to use. Great quality. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a 5-in-1 disc. The size is fantastic.

Great Product
Does what it supposed to do

A little hard to fold back up

it fragile
I have had this product now for over 9 months. As a matter of fact i own 2. the sound and clarity are fine even when walking around in noisy areas. The problem i have had with both is the ear piece. For one of them the ear piece post has broken off and with the second one the rubber gel on the earpiece has started separating from the post. Blue Ant wants to charge for two replacement ear gels. That is ludicrous i can by a new blue tooth for .

Love my Ant!
I've used my BluAnt for almost a year now and I still love it! I wanted a small bluetooth that would fit securely in-ear without using the ear hook. I did a ton of research looking for fit, sound quality, size, comfort, etc., and this one fits the bill. The Ant paired up easily with my iPhone 3G, has excellent noise cancellation, great volume, and has lasted. I work in a loud environment and this little guy keeps right up. I can hear it ring, I can hear a caller, and they can hear me. Most people say they can't tell I'm on a bluetooth. It's been dropped, kicked, and sat on, and it still works perfectly. I have a usb port on my car charger that I use to charge my BluAnt. That's where it stays when it's not in my ear. It's so comfortable that I find myself checking to make sure it's still there. That's right, no more sore ear after 8 hours of use. It's so small that people sometimes think I'm talking to myself. Battery life and talk time are incredible. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the BluAnt Z9i.

BlueAnt z9i
Great earpiece. Exceptional sound quality and talk time. Does not fade out background noise as advertised but I was aware of that from a previous purchase. For some reason, this earpiece does not hang up my calls. When pressed to hang up a call, I get a recording which says something about voice isolation message one. So I always have to use my phone to end a call. This is somewhat of an inconvenience especially when the other party doesn't hang up first and my phone isn't readily assessible. Overall, I still like the device and yes, will purchase it again.

A Must Have
Up front I must say that this was my first bluetooth headset and I was a little skeptical about the prospect of how well it may or may not work. I got it mainly for my commute to and from work and I must say that `I love it'
The unit is very light and once you get used wearing it you forget that it's there until someone points it out. The noise cancellation and voice isolation provides for a clear connection and it just w-o-r-k-s period! There are a lot of `high dollar' headsets out there but I don't see how they could be any better.
- Clarity is great
- Ease of use is great
- Battery life is great
- Range is as advertised, maybe a little better depending on your environment

I use this with my HTC Touch Pro 2 (a windows mobile device) and connectivity between the two has been flawless.

Although I really like this headset it's not without its flaws.

Issue #1 has been with the customer service. So, here is the deal. Something happened to the device, stopped working, wouldn't even power on (I was very sad). I contacted customer support to get a replacement and really got the run around. Not something I like when talking to support because I put high value on the way I am treated as a customer. To make a long story short it took a week and a half to get an RMA.

Issue #2 is that the headset that they returned to me was not a Z9i but rather a V1. Here is my dilemma now; do I try to return it for a Z9i OR just continue using it? The V1 talks to you a lot more (which can be turned off) but my wife tells me that the clarity is even better and to be honest it feels better than the Z9i... such mixed emotions on this one. I'll update the post later with my decision.

Regardless, hands free is the way to go when you are on the road. Your family will appreciate it.

I hate giving one star review
I try never to give a one star review, since when I see them, I assume the person received a defect, they had a bad experience with the company, whatever. However in this case, it's a one star for product performance. This bluetooth sound quality is poor, people sound far-away no matter what I do. If I turn up the volume, it distorts the sound. When I talk, people are always saying it sounds like I am talking into a speaker phone and ask me to switch. Both ear pieces fit poorly and I am always trying to shove the ear piece deeper into my ear to hear better. Also, the buttons are so small that I am always hitting the off button and disconnecting and I do not have large fingers. I have actually stopped using it and I am using my blackberry as a speaker phone - it actually sounds clearer for both sides. I will continue to search for a good bluetooth.
