d_skinŽ |
Company: | d_skinŽ, llc |
|
d_skinŽ. A revolutionary alternative to scratched cd's.
The d_skinŽ is a thin, pliable covering, you slip over
the surface of a cd. While on, the cd can be played, recorded on,
and stored, without ever having to remove it.
While it is on the cd, it protects the surface of the cd, to
avoid scratches and other abrasions, that will quickly deem
a cd useless. Then, when the d_skin gets scratched up, simply
replace it. This is definitely a lot cheaper than replacing the
disc. We found these to be simple to use, with no instruction necessary. Our cd's worked as per the norm, with no changes in performance. Our system did not even notice they were on. We tried recording/burning a cd, with the d_skinŽ in place. We had to be sure the claims were correct ~AND~ they were! Performance and time for the process showed no changes. We highly suggest this product, for the protection of your investment. BACKGROUND: Awarded Time Magazine best innovative product of 2004! In just 2 years since hitting the marketplace, you can find this product in pretty much any store that carries electronics. It can be found in 22,000 nationwide retail stores. WHAT IS IT? A Protective skin with Liplock Seal, that snaps onto a disc tightly. While on, the disc is protected from scratching. Available in packs of 5 or 20 - @ approximately $1 per piece. WHAT IS IT USED FOR? This product is used to avoid scratches on your favorite movie discs, game discs, music discs, computer discs. The d_skinŽ does not affect the playing quality of the disc and may be left on permanently. Offers a universal application, that works with most DVDs, CDs and game system discs. Please note: The d_skinŽ protects discs from scratching the readable surface. It does not keep a disc from breaking. Normal care is still needed when using a disc. SIDE NOTE: Just snap a d_skinŽ onto your favorite discs and consider them protected. The beauty is, d_skinŽ stays on your discs even while they play. That's right--your discs are totally readable right through the Skin. Once your discs are skinned, there's nothing to take off or put on when you're playing, storing or transporting. One d_skinŽ does it all. Available at local stores near you. Be sure to check the list, using the PURCHASE link available above. FOOTNOTE: One thing I highly suggest using these for, is when you carry cd's in your car, using one of those visor holders, that do not allow for the use of cases. Discs can become damaged so quickly in this vulnerable state, and they are quickly useless. By protecting them with the d_skinŽ, you will now be able to carry them anywhere, anytime, with no worries as to the damage being done to them. <<<- (2006) RETURN TO TOP |

Company: | Kaleidoscope Collections |
|
[Recipient of the 2005 Hot Product Award] Kaleidoscope Kreator is a fascinating, fun and creative way to add to any scrapbook, or to use when creating custom cards or crafts. Using this great new software you are able to create the most lavish looking displays ever laid eyes upon. With 12 different designs to choose from, as well as the pinwheel effect which doubles your options, using this software is so simple a manual is not even needed. You simply put in the cd, start the program and enjoy your time making creative enhancements that no one will believe you did yourself. Now you can save money because you will not need to purchase pre-designed templates for your scrapbook. You will be able to create your own, which will surpass those made available commercially and will be able to do so quickly and easily. I was greatly impressed at how easy this program was to use. With any digital or print image, we were able to create multiple designs and enjoyed the different styles we could add to our pages to make them stand out from what one would normally expect to see in a scrapbook array of photos. One of the uses we found for the program was to make custom tshirt transfer prints for each of the kids. Choosing their sport of choice, we used the software to create a kaleidoscope of them in action and then added their name below or on top of the kaleidoscope image created. This made for a beautiful tshirt made especially for them and the entire process to get it to transfer paper was only a 15 minute task. They loved it! The Idea Gallery at the company website shares many more fun ideas you can use. Once you have explored their ideas, your mind will begin to find many more uses you will want to use this for. It may be scrapbooking, creating Christmas cards or invitations, it may be a memory quilt you wish to make ... Whatever you can imagine, Kaleidoscope Kreator will be there to help you take the idea and create it for all to see and enjoy. Once you have created an image, you can then take the file into your favorite photo program and create an even more elegant design by adding other layers to the creation. This allows a never ending assortment of ideas to be added to your list. Runs on any standard computer and is easily installed. We found no glitches with this software and found its use to be so simple even the novice PC user will have no problem using it from the first time they insert the cd. <<<- (2005) RETURN TO TOP |

Peeramids BookRest |
Company: | Peeramid, Inc. |
|
The Peeramid is a novel way to prop up your favorite book, to free your hands and rest your arms. Can be used on the floor, at the table, in bed, you name it. Just place the book on the Peeramid, and read to your heart's content. When you are done, simply place the attached bookmarker in your stopping place, and it will be ready the next time you sit down to read. You will no longer have to worry about your arms falling asleep, when the book is just too good to put down.
BACKGROUND: Charlie Overton York and Carolyn Overton Morton, sisters from Smithfield, NC, decided that it was high time that the physical experience of reading books be as pleasurable as the places reading can take you in your mind. And so, The Original Peeramid Bookrest, a decorative pyramid-shaped reading aid pillow, has become a reality in the marketplace. This uniquely shaped pillow has been awarded a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office. While reading a book, Charlie had a vision of a pyramid-shaped object that would make reading more comfortable for her. She called her best friend and sister, Carolyn, with the challenge of bringing it to life using her new sewing machine. Inspired by the Great Pyramids of Egypt, the sisters began experimenting with fabrics, sewing and design. What developed was a beautiful pillow that props a book while you read - freeing a hand for sipping on a coffee, scratching an itch, or truly relaxing. "We designed The Peeramid for readers of all ages, from kids on the floor, to students who read anywhere but their desks, to adults in bed or favorite chair," said York." It is especially helpful to those readers with certain health problems, like arthritis, which can make holding and reading books difficult." Encouraged by family and friends, a long time desire to work together, and the insistence on the importance of reading, Charlie and Carolyn officially named their design The Original Peeramid Bookrest and became Peeramid, Inc. They feel proud to spend their time working to sell a product that encourages reading and the love of books. "We are excited about our Peeramid because it really works. The Peeramid makes reading so comfortable, that you can read for longer periods of time - thus, more books!" says Morton; "And even if you never use it when reading - it makes a unique addition to your throw pillow collection." The sisters describe The Peeramid in four words: Luxury, Necessity, Tool, Accessory. It is Peeramid Inc's mission to "change the landscape of the literary world" with The Original Peeramid Bookrest. The National Literacy Hotline number is printed on each tag in an effort to support the Literacy Coalition and its need for volunteers. Peeramid, Inc. is headquartered in Jacksonville, FL. with manufacturing in Wilson, NC and Bloomfield, CT. WHAT IS IT? A Pyramid shaped pillow, with ledges built in to hold the book open. Also has a tassle bookmark attached, so you never lose your place. WHAT IS IT USED FOR? A tool that helps avid readers, read longer without tiring their arms, and allows them to use their hands for things like sipping coffee, answering the phone, holding a baby, taking notes... never having to put the book down. Also a great tool for those with movement limitations, sore arms, arthritis, etc. and those who are in a wheelchair or bed fulltime. WHO WILL LIKE IT? All readers, of all ages will be sure to enjoy having a Peeramid. Great for students who are doing homework. They simply place the book on the Peeramid at a height perfect for reading, then use their hands to answer questions on their paper, or write a report. Also great for those who enjoy reading in bed. Simply prop up your book on the Peeramid, and rest while you enjoy a good story. SIDE NOTE: FOOTNOTE: A delightful gift to give to those who are avid readers. A beautiful design which displays quality workmanship and attention to detail. This is a great product that will last you through your golden years. <<<- (2006) RETURN TO TOP |

Pet-Temp Instant Ear Thermometer |
Company: | Advanced Monitors Corporation |
|
If you have a pet like mine, who is a bit stubborn at times, especially when not feeling well, you know how hard it is to get an accurate reading of their temperature. The task has never been fun for the pet or the owner ... Well, that is until now.
This thermometer is quick (1 second) and easy to use and you simply place it in the ear and almost instantly you have the reading. My pet does not mind it at all. In fact, I think he is thinking "about time!" These are comparable to what they use at the vet's office, in fact this model is used in many vet's offices. It is highly accurate, has an easy grip handle, and an easy to read readout. Remember - most pets should have a temperature in the range of 100.0 - 100.3. When it comes to pet care, this is a great alternative to the old methods used. FOOTNOTES: Now available at Petco.
