Great, but ...
The case locks are, indeed, TSA approved, the case seems pretty indestructible, as do the locks but . . . My son has a Nike Xtreme element bag, which has a rigid, handle at the top. This makes the bag not only 14 inches at the base but 14 inches at the bottom. While this product is sold as a 4814--i.e., 48 inches long and 14 inches wide, it is definitely NOT 14 inches its entire length. I cannot close the case entirely without forcing it closed, which means putting enough pressure on the bag's semi-flexible aluminum tube (which runs up its side and gives it rigidity) that I was able to close the case. Now, I have to hope that forcing the bag like this won't damage the bag in the long run during flights, because I didn't have sufficient time to send it back before we needed the case. Ugh. Please, more accurate description in model specifications!

SKB 4814W deluxe ATA golf case- GREAT!!!
Loaded my new case with Sun Mountain cart bag full of clubs, balls, rain suit, wind shirt, 2 towels, umbrella, flask, cigars, and all the little accessories, wrapped an extra towel around the heads and flew to Tennessee and back on Southwest. Had to tuck in the side pockets but really easy to do. Weighed in at 48 lbs., 2 lb. under the overweight limit. Probably could have fit shoes but didn't try. Worked most excellent, would recommend highly. Don't try to fit a pro bag though. TSA lock system worked great, they checked it both ways and actually relocked it, WOW!!! Not a mark on the case, 2 people actually asked me about it cause it didn't even show any scuff marks.

SKB Golf Travel Case
Excellent product. Exactly as described. Extremely well built. Performs beyond expectations. Plenty of room for cart bag and shoes. TSA approved lock.

SKB - 4814W
This is an excellent product -- by far the best I have seen on the market. I would highly recommend this to anyone who travels with their sticks.

Way too small for standard CART bag
I read all the review before ordering. All I can say is most of these folks must have some really, really small cart bags. I tried my wife's bag, my bag, an old and very small cart bag I had. I could not even get them in with every pocket empty. Only our lightweight stand bag would fit. I have two SKB bags that are a hard top with soft bottom that I have been using for years that hold our bags easily. SKB quality is tops though.

Golf GPS Review
I am very pleased with this GPS, I like the battery backup with regular batterys and the ability to have a rechargeable battery. The unit worked right out of the box and found the course I was playing. I also had to map one course and it was very easy. I also like not having to pay a yearly fee. I tried other units and I have also played golf with others that have different GPS' and range finders. This unit was just as accurate as the ones they were using. Range finder could not see greens that were obstructed.

Golf Buddy Tour
Great product although you need to go on line to update all the courses in your location. That was an easy process to do. Very happy with it.

Golf Buddy
Used the Golf Buddy several times on my favorite courses and not happy with the accuracy. It would pickup the wrong holes at times. Battery seems to last for advertised time, seems easy to use. On a scale of 1-10 I would give it a 5.

Golf Buddy Price Hike
I looked at the Golf Buddy Tour range finder a few days ago on Amazon and it was priced 8. Today I went on Amazon to buy it and see that it is now 8. The lower price I saw did not say anything about a "special" for a few days so I took my time as I was away from home. Result, of course, a hike. Nice work Amazon, but I am afraid you can keep your Golf Buddy there. And the other things I was going to order.

GolfBuddy
Love the Buddy.. fast setup ,,,great backlighting,,,accurate.. all it needs is a hole overview with hazzard yardage....

Quality Control Failure
Because I am so fond of Garmin products I didn't want to believe some of the reviews describing the difficulty of reading the Garmin, G5 Approach display. Mostly because there seem to be an equal amount of reviews describing poor visibility and at the same time praising the device without mentioning the display. I thought surely Garmin R & D or Quality Control representatives actually took the G5 out in all weather conditions and would have surely noticed such poor visibility - so I paid the 0 and waited with anticipation. Only I was quickly disappointed that while in the sun, shade or cart, I found myself straining to see clearly the displayed information. It was even more apparent when I stood next to my golfing partner and compared his SkyCaddie - it was ridiculously clearer!

I regretfully returned this GPS to Amazon at a 15% loss in the refund amount. Although I want a golf GPS desperately, I will wait for Garmin to come out with a newer version that should at least have a brightness and/or contrast display adjustment. I love the fact that after paying for the unit, there are no additional fees for subscriptions or downloads.

Excluding the display, everything else about the G5 is fantastic however, not being able to read the information on the screen is something that can't be overcome!

Expected More
The device works fine, but I expected more for 0.

Screen - Many complaints have been written about the screen. While it's not the best I've seen, it does the job. Yes, sometimes I had to move it slightly because of the sun, but no big deal. The screen size and detail are more than adequate for an average golfer.

Functionality, GPS - Overall, I'd say this was good. After the unit acquired the satelites, it offered me list of the closest courses. Since I normally turn it on at the clubhouse, the course I was playing was listed on top. You then enter the "play" mode and it shows you an overview of the first hole. If you are starting on a different hole, just use the arrow buttons on the screen to cycle through the holes. When you complete a hole, the unit automatically advances to the next. I liked the automatic hole advance feature, but you can turn it off if you like.

Functionality, scoring - The unit can keep score for up to 4 players. You press the upper left corner of the screen to access the score. This was fairly easy to learn and I liked the feature.

Functionality, statistics - I was really looking forward to the statistics feature. I don't have a good feel for how far I hit each club, so I thought this would help my game. The statistics area had several issues. The biggest problem is that it locked up on me twice while trying to enter the data. On both occassions, nothing was lost but I did have to "reboot". Another problem is that you're limited to woods and irons. I carry both a 5 iron and 5 hybrid. The statistics won't let me differentiate between the 2.

Battery - Maybe I just got a bad unit, but my batteries barely lasted a full round. After my first round, we went back to the clubhouse to compare scores. I tried pulling my score up on the gps and it would die. Fortunately, it saves your last round in memory, so I was able to retrieve everything once I got back to the house. Other reviewers have stated they can get 2 rounds out of a set of batteries, so maybe I had a defective unit.

Summary - I definitely liked the unit overall. I returned it due to it locking up, but I haven't heard any other complaints about this happening, so I'm assuming mine was defective. However, even without the lockups, I don't think this is worth 300. If it were closer to 100, I probably would have asked for an exchange instead of a refund. But for 300, I expect a lot more than what the Garmin offers.

G5 VS SG3 Skycaddie
I have used a SkyCaddie SG3 for the past few years. This year they raised the annual fee from . to . and I got fed up. I purchased a Garmin G5 that has no annual fee and I am very pleased. The picture is in color, gives you a view of the total hole and has much more detail that the SG3. If I want to get a yardage to any spot on the hole all I do is place my finger tip on the spot and you will immediately get the yardage from where you are to the spot and them from the spot to the green. The SG3 will only give you info to certain selected spots. the Garmin will keep your scores and the number of puts as well as the number of fairways hit. They have thousands of coursed preloaded and when they add more you don't have to pay any charge. I am well satisfied.

Garmin
Garmin is a great GPS and there is not a monthly fee. However the course yardage was too small for my eyes.

Finally a functioning golf gps...
This is the best golf GPS I've used, I had owned 2 iGolf units prior and they were a non-functioning nightmare - so was their customer service, they totally suck. The Garmin G5 however is awesome, no yearly membership fees, You can zoom in and pick points to check the distance. So far it's been 100% on the money w/ sprinkler head distance markers. This thing rules, buy it!

Over a year user of this GPS
I bought this GPS because with one touch of the button, I could walk off my distance of my last shot. This is very helpful to me when it came to figuring out club distances for my irons and drivers.

I wasn't interested in fancy pictures and colorized screens. If you're into that kind of golf GPS, this one isn't for you. This gives you accurate distances to the front, center and back of the green. When distances are compared to other comparable golf GPS units, I found that the Golf Logix is within 2-5 yards of their readings. It know when you are going to the next hole and gives you distances to the hazards from your current location on the tee box. If the course is set up with left and right hazards, you will see a list of them including the distance to them. So if there is a water hazard on the right and bunkers on the left you will see "R Water 180", "L Bunker 210". If there is a dogleg, it will give you a distance to that too.

The other thing I liked was I can store up to 20 different courses. As the GPS aligns itself, it will know what golf course you are closest to and select that course if you have it stored on your GPS. Courses are updated from Golf Logix. Usually you will get a message when you hook up your GPS to update or load courses that a course has been updated. I let my yearly service expire but I could have unlimited downloads of courses throughout the United States. I not sure of the price but if I remember correctly, this was .99 for one year. Course updates were free. Downloaded courses stay on your computer as long as you have the software installed.

It takes 2 AA batteries that allows me to change them at a moments notice if the unit does exhaust its current power supply. I did purchase the leather case (comes with a hanging sprint hook) which does make removing the batteries a little more challenging, but protects the GPS from scratches and the weather. I always bring and extra set of batteries with me. I can usually get 2 to 3 rounds out of a set of fresh AA's (without the backlight on).

For the price I felt it has done the job for me for golf course distance management. The numbers are large and readable. I've used this unit for over a year now and I don't go golfing without it. Worth every penny.

Golf rounds this year: 25
Handicap: 20

GolfLogic GPS perfect door prize for golf outing!
I purchased the GolfLogic GPS to give away as a door prize for a charitable golf outing ... it was a huge success! The winner has been using it regularly ever since and is very satisfied.

Garmin 8 GPS
I upgraded to this newer model and like it very much. I like the fact that I don't have to tell it what course I am on, it finds it on its own. Storing 20 courses and not 10 is an improvement and I've used golf gps the "length of last drive" feature frequently. Good unit!

Lack of Customer Service Support
The customer service support on this product was terrible. When I received this product I worked with customer service because I could not get the device to communciated with the USB port on my computer. We narrowed it down to an issue with the serial to USB cable. I attempted for three weeks and a number of different customer service reps. to send me a new cable, each time the rep. would tell me that the cable had been mailed to me but I never received the cable. I finally contact Amazon and have since returned the unit for full credit. If this is a clue to Garmin's customer service then I will be very hesitant in purchasing any products manufactured by Garmin!!!

Golf gps
I was a little apprehensive that this might be difficult to program and use. I hate wasting time with that kind of stuff. Well, it was as easy as it could be. Loading the courses took just a few minutes and was very simple. Using it is also very easy. My buddies have other brands. During a round we checked with each other to verify accuracy of distance. At my play level I do not need the shape of the green or color images. Just need to know how far to get to or past a hazard or how far to the green. This does it. This GolLogix is very accurate and the price was a lot less than they paid for theirs with features I don't need. I would recommend this to anyone.

When it works, it's AWESOME. I hold my breath every time I try to turn it on.
I've had this for 9 months, and I swim 2-3x/wk. Because there are so few buttons on it, it is very mysterious as to what's going on if you hit "Play" (aka "Power"---what a bad idea) and nothing happens. Adding to the confusion is the one indicator light (green) under practically opaque BLUE plastic, which makes it next to impossible to see most time (like being outside next to the lap pool). WHY????

Also, it appears to discharge itself at random in my gym bag. So every time I pull it out, I hold my breath, squint at it multiple times, and attempt to push the correct combination of buttons to make it turn on and play. When it does, I love it. Unless it stops playing while I'm swimming.

Finally, I have very few mp3 files. Because it's not able to read more than mp3's or wma's I have to go through my library and convert them....storing two versions of the same file on my harddrive. This means I never ever change the music on there. :(

I don't think there are other good options on the market right now, so this is it--better than nothing, right?

As a final note, (despite my confidence that I didn't accidentally get water in it) now it doesn't appear to be charging, recognizable by the computer, or play music. Le sigh.

Very disappointing
I agree with Karen, I was very hopeful when I got this, but it has worked for all of five minutes. The clip works well, but after loading the songs, I have never been able to use it. It is hard to use when you are in the water and it has never played for more than five minutes, which meant that all the time I put into loading songs was wasted.

For some reason, it never triggers the safely remove hardware icon, even though the computer recognizes that it is in. It looks nice, though and stays in place.

It's amazing how well they work!
I read several reviews of both this and the Speedo mp3 player, and decided to buy these. Wow! I am totally impressed!

First, I can't believe the sound conducts so well through my cheekbones. Underwater, it sounds totally amazing, and it seems loud enough that I would think others in the pool could hear it, too, but so far no one's given me any crazy looks, so I think they can't. Above water, it's not so bad. It's noticeably quieter, sure, but it's not like your music cuts off completely when your head's out of the water, which is what I was afraid of.

The headphones/cheekphones/whatever-they-are stayed in place perfectly while I was swimming freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke, even with flip turns. With butterfly, they tipped back at an angle and started covering my ears, which made it quieter in the water and louder out of the water, but it wasn't super obnoxious, and it didn't bother me to wait until the next time I stopped to straighten them again. Full disclosure: I'm not doing more than 50 yards of butterfly at a time. If I were psychotic enough to do 500 yards of butterfly at one stretch, my decision might be different. My guess is that diving into the water would shift these puppies as well, but that's not an issue for me. And it's possible that if you tighten your goggles enough so that your eyes bug out, they would stay in place anyway. I'm not going to test that theory.

My goggles didn't leak at ALL with these clipped on. I use the basic TYR Racetech goggles, and they worked just fine.

The charging process and drag-and-drop music transfer process were remarkably simple. The only thing I thought was weird was that on mine, I didn't have three folders pre-programmed onto it for playlists. It was blank, which basically means I have one playlist. This is fine with me. I might later try to reformat the drive to see if the three playlists pop up, but I'm good for now.

I've just been getting back into the pool on a regular basis, and I'm still pathetically out of shape. With this mp3 player, it makes it much easier for me to swim longer without focusing on how tired I am. I went from 1,250 yards one day to 2,000 yards the next, mostly because I was able to be entertained enough by the music to stomach through it.

The nerd appeal of the bone conduction technology is another huge plus. It's definitely a conversation piece at the pool.

I highly recommend this mp3 player, and I'm gonna use the hell out of it.

FINIS SwiMP3
I've been using the Finis SwiMP3, along with the Aqua Spere Stationary swimmer, theFinis swimmer's snorkel and earplugs fro the local wlagreens to swim in our backyard pool all summer. The combination is PERFECTION! I know - it's a lot of equipment - but the payoff is I'm able to swim endlessly whenever it's convienent for me. I don't have to share a lane, go through a locker room, pay a membership fee, drive to the pool, stuff my work clothes in a small locker... The SwiMP# has worked very well. The buttons are sort of small and tough to find once it's attached to your goggler strap, but I trun it on shuffle before I put my goggles on and I'm good to go. I recharge it through my lap top, or plug it in to a port on my computer at work during the day - no need to spend extra money on a charger you really don't need. The sound quality is excellent with earplugs. It's really amazing. I guess I'll return to the Y this winter - I'll see how it works lap swimming with turns then.

Do NOT waste your money or time.
I have to agree with many of the prior reviewers. This product simply does not work. I also loaded many songs from itunes only to find that just a few unprotected ones played. I then emailed finis re the problem and they gave me the instructions to erase the disk and then go through a pretty complex task of unprotecting the itunes songs and then reloading the headset. Since then, NOTHING plays. I have now tried to get them to resolve this problem and they just keep giving me the run around. On top of all of this, i also concur with the other reviewers. As the unit did play for a couple of workouts, i have to say that the sound quality is very poor and the volume is very soft and tinny...even at maximum volume. And, as all have reported, if your head/ears comes out of the water (as in swimming the breast stroke) you lose sound almost completely. On these issues, i tried everything, including putting a swim cap OVER my goggles and the unit to try to keep it closer to my head. It didn't work AND looked stupid in the process :) I have now tried three different brands (speedo KILLED my ears and the H2Oaudio break very easily). I am to the point of agreeing with another reviewer--leave the mp3 experience to running and just try to go into a zen state during swimming.

excellent set
Very impressed with this basketball set.
It was quite easy to put together but as the instructions show, you need 2 people to complete the assembly.
It is solid, ideal for 6-7 year old children and the price cannot be beaten.

Great product
My mom bought this for my 6-1/2 y.o. nephew for a holiday gift last Dec. and he loves it. his dad said it was easy to assemble and adjusts easily as he grows and gets better a making baskets.

Good, once you set it up
The middle pole did not fit inside the top pole as it is supposed to. My wife and I are both mechanically inclined, and it is clear to us that the pole was not manufactured to specs. Whoever packed the poles in the box knew they didn't fit properly, because they "made" them fit by reversing the direction of the poles when they packed them. I had to add WD-40 and stand on a tall ladder to pound down on the two poles to make them fit together (not an easy task!). Also, the two plugs to keep the water/sand in the base were made of cheap plastic instead of rubber and broke easily (minor complaint). The only reason I did not give this product just one star is because, once we got it set up, it's good for the price I paid. However, I can't give it more than two stars because many people could not have assembled the actual misfitting parts we received.

LOTS OF GOOD OLD FUN
This was a christmas gift for my grandson, he loves it and wow did we get every one out doors and playing. What a fun & great way to be outside and have fun as a family. Better then sitting in side.

Great for price
The backboard is plastic but it works fine for my young boys and was not expensive. It's a little tricky to put together but I'm sure they all are. Make sure the sand is dry before you try to put it in (or use water) in the stand.

Wenzel air bed
This air mattress is the worst there is. It is the most uncomfortable air bed there is, plus it does not hold air at all.As far as it reclines,it breaks your back to lay on it.I hate it.

Gread bed, equal to Aerobed.
We received this bed as a housewarming gift, purchased through a shopping channel. Works great, very stable. It's heavier than an Aero bed, which is nice once set up. You can get in and out of the bed without the bed sliding all over the place or flipping. However, it is noticeably heavier when lugging around when deflated.

I noted the reviews about the bed not deflating correctly and wonder if they had the valve open and pump in the correct "deflate" position. We've had no problems with deflating the bed and have had the pillow portion inflated.

All in all, a great experience and everyone who has slept on it has commented on a good sleeping experience.

Satisfied
My first product was defective. Amazon replaced the product and I am very happy with the airbed. It is easy to use and comfortable. I like the fact that it automatically inflates as opposed to having to use a seperate airpump. The bed is convenient to use when traveling, despite being heavy.

Believe the Hype - It Won't Stay Inflated
My dad got this for me as a present. I was so excited when I first inflated it. It was noisy, but then, what else would you expect.

The first problem became apparent immediately. I inflated/raised the head portion. And when I wanted to put it back down, it would not lay flat. You have to deflate the whole bed in order to start over flat.

But that is no matter, because the mattress started to mushroom out at the bottom and would not stay fully, firmly inflated. It only got worse in the next few days. Just a big bean-bag bed. Like other reviewers, I could find no holes or leaks. I couldn't detect that the valve was leaking, so I really don't know what the problem was. It seems to be common though. Without being firmly inflated, it will cause you to lay in a bow position, making it impossible to sleep on your stomach. If you have back problems, forget it.

The pump did get overheated pretty quickly. The sheet, while not sliding around due to the surface of the mattress, did not fit well.

It was pretty easy to move when inflated. When deflated, it was so heavy I could hardly drag it around.

But the bottom line is, if it won't stay inflated, the whole purpose is defeated.

Luckily, I have the Amazon Prime and I returned the item for a full refund, no problems. Great service, bad product.

it broke
Maybe not the best idea but i attempted to use this bed as my regular bed and after about 2 weeks it unsealed with a hole in a seam and that was that. it just couldnt be inflated for that long straight and be slept on for that long staight with a 150 pound guy on it so i give it a thumbs down for durability.

Thought I was in my own bed!
First of all let me start by saying there are tons of inflatable mattresses out there, ranging from to over 0. When I started to look at it, why would I even consider spending over 0 for an air mattress to use on a vacation. Well, let me tell you, this was a great investment. We took this mattress up to a cottage. Last year I slept a week at this cottage on a leather couch and it was not fun. This year, I wanted something better to sleep on. The Wenzel Insta-Bed Queen was GREAT. It was very confortable. The top is covered with something, so your sheet are not laying on top of plastic and you get a better feel against your body. We slept on this for a week, and it held air very well. It was half way through the trip before I decided to plug it in again to add a little air. The dual chambers are pretty cool too because you can put air in the center or the sides of the bed depending on your sleep perference. I would recommend this to anyone. Its worth the extra cash for a good air mattress if its something you are going to need. Now I have an extra queen bed for visitors to the house.

UNEVEN and UNCOMFORTABLE
If you like a bed that pushes your body into the center with raised edges, than this is the bed for you. A bed should be flat. This bed was designed by someone who never even tried to lie down in it. The design is totally flawed. My biggest fears were buying an air bed that leaked, not one that puts strain on your body because it is not flat. Horrible design. F. Waste of money.

I slept on this product
I actually bought this as a gift for my brother & sister-in-law who don't have a spare bedroom in their home. If I want to spend time with them and enjoy my three nephews, I have to sleep on an airbed in their livingroom. However, last time I visited them I woke up around 2AM with these two, huge, bulging masses on either side of me and I was on the ground. Needless to say, that airbed had bitten the dust. So, I replaced it with this queen size Wenzel Insta-Bed. It took about 90 seconds to inflate and I slept comfortably for the three nights I stayed with them. I liked that it was nice and high off the ground, didn't have that icky vinyl smell, and I never once had a problem with the bed loosing air. The morning I left, the bed deflated easily and I packed it back into it's little sleeping bag sized holder. For me, this is a nice product and it made a nice gift.

Stood the test of time!
I purchased this in December 2009 and realized I had never reviewed it. I have had two different air mattresses in the past: An Aerobed purchased at Bed Bath & Beyond and an unknown brand purchased at BJ's Warehouse. Both mattresses developed tiny leaks after one or two uses and, despite diligently repairing every leak, a new one quickly developed. After reading the reviews of this brand, I decided to give it a try. So far, no leaks, my husband and I slept comfortably through the night, and it was simple to inflate and deflate. After almost a year of occasional use (probably used six times in eight months), I can confidently declare this one to be a winner.

ok for an air mattress, but let's not pretend it's a real bed
I thought this bed was more comfortable than other air mattresses I have tried. I appreciated its height off the ground and the ease of pumping and deflating. We bought this bed primarily for house guests, and slept on it ourselves for several nights after a recent move. We found that it sagged in the middle even after one night. I am amazed that others who reviewed this bed did not have to put air in every night, because ours was definitely not firm when we woke up. There was no obvious leak, but I suppose there could have been one that we could not detect. We returned the bed and opted for a guest mattress instead.
