REACHCASE Back Cover for Apple iPhone 6/6s SAL241W7A - White
06 Jan, 2017
Case looks good and appears to provide protection
Not sure about 3x the boost power - it does provide some boost but not exactly what I was hoping for in terms of overall performance. The case provides decent protection except along the bottom, which I feel is too exposed.
Wheelskins - Original SAND Leather Steering Wheel Cover AXX
14 Mar, 2017
Great Steerling Wheel Cover but at a Price and with a lot of Patience
Where to begin. I almost never leave reviews but given all of the time, energy and money I put into this product, I felt compelled to leave some information behind.
These steering wheel covers are not cheap - five times more than the Chinese versions I see on eBay - and you will need to have a ton of patience when installing as there is a greater than likely chance you will make one (if not several) mistakes and need to undo some stitching every once in a while. This be especially be true if you want a clean professional look and/or if you use any stitch more complex than the basic stitch shown in their included instructions. I installed the covers in two different cars. The first car took about 3 1/2 hours but the second car took about 2:45 since I had a lot more experience at that point and less mistakes. Obviously, if you use Wheelskins' basic stitch as shown in their instructions, this will most likely lead to less issues and will obviously cut your installation time down significantly. One great thing to note is that even with the issues I had along the way, these held up extremely well upon completion of the installation look fantastic. Also, I highly recommend wearing full leather gloves while installing, this will save your hands.
One of my only complaints/comments about this product, especially given its cost, is that (unless I missed it) they only have one video on their website and only one set of installation instructions included with the product both showing the basic stitch installation, and I think they should offer more options on this front. I decided to use a cross-stitch pattern that I have seen on a few friends cars, and this requires at least two stitching cords and needles that need to be used simultaneously. The box only includes one stitching cord and needle but the great thing is that Wheelskins will send you more if you call and request (which I did when I ordered this item) - they do have great customer service. Once I had the extra cord and needle I had to do a little digging online and particularly YouTube until I found enough information to get started on the cross-stitch installation. I also had to come up with some choices as I installed in order to achieve the look I wanted and secure the skin around the spokes. Ultimately, I got the look I wanted and everyone that has seen this cannot tell whether or not it was factory installed. I am very happy.
On a side note, one of the nice aspects is that the Wheelskin covers came out of the box with that new car luxury leather smell, which has actually spread throughout the cabins of both of my vehicles after installation, and I love it.
Unfortunately, I cannot make a comparison since I have not tried any of the other versions on the market, especially the much cheaper (as in cost) Chinese versions that are all over eBay and Amazon but have read and heard many are not well made and tear at the stitch and some even fall apart while trying to put them on the steering wheel. I feel the Wheelskins are a great product and I feel you get what you pay for and these are not cheap.
