I bought this case because it perfectly fits my Samsung Galaxy Note II phablet - even with a protective skin on it. with its rubber net divider, there's also room for my car keys and another small phone without those things scratching up my screen. The large, single-flip lock makes it very easy to open the case for a quick look - while geocaching, for example.

The only reason I didn't give it a full 10 rating is that because of the placement of the interior rubber insulation, you can't place the phone face down so you can read the screen while the case is closed. I might remove that insulation and polish the case plastic a bit more so I can do that.

This Sit On Top (SOT) has been the perfect first boat for my son. I bought it 3 years ago when he was 9. He's now 12 years old, over 5' and 100lbs, so he's about to outgrow it, but after 100 paddle trips, the boat is still in great shape.

It compromises a bit of speed for stability, with it's dual keel design. It's a bit heavy for its length, but very solid thick ABS plastic that still looks new on top with only a few scratches on the hull.

Picked this boat up at Dick's last week during their sale for $399. All together I am very pleased with this craft after my first short paddle.

Pros:
It tracks well for its length and very maneuverable in narrow streams. The adjustable seat and pegs made for good comfort even after several hours on the water. A very sturdy boat that's still light enough to pick up with one hand.

Cons:
The bulkhead leaks. It's obvious that the factory does not take its time in properly sealing the foam bulkhead material - all of the boats in the store looked the same. So be prepared to re-seal the bulkhead properly if you plan to use the rear storage as a dry compartment. I'm also going to add some buoyancy to the bow as it has none now.
