Prismacolor Premier Manga Colored Pencil Set, 23 Colors
27 November 2016
Excellent Product
This set of pencils is perfect for manga artists from aspiring to pro! A great blend of shades and cores as well as ingenious packaging. The box is designed to also function as a stand, making it dead simple to find the pencil you're looking for while taking up minimal workspace real estate. It does lack some of the darker pigments required for bolder pieces, but for the price, I would highly recommend this set! I will definitely be ordering another one very soon!
2x Supershieldz® Tempered Glass Screen Protector For Samsung Gear S3 Frontier
27 November 2016
SO close...
The clarity and ease of installation is fantastic. When clean, the tempered glass shines like a premium watch face should. My problem is that it does not cover the entire face of the watch. There is nearly a 1mm gap between the edge of the screen protector and the inner bezel. For the life of me, I can't figure out why it was designed this way! It constantly gets dust and debris trapped in the gap. The border is also clearly visible and VERY noticeable. The first two questions I get when I show people my $400 smartwatch is "What's that edge? Is that part of the watch?" Functionality would not be affected in the least if the protector touched the inner bezel, as it is stationary. So why the gap!? I can only hope that other manufacturers do not follow the Supershieldz's example, as I am actively searching for a replacement that FITS. Poor design absolutely ruined this otherwise flawless screen protector. Two stars is generous for a product that fails to meet its simplest purpose, but it does protect the majority of the watch face and is crystal clear. Stay away if any of what I mentioned above matters to you.

Bostitch Metal Antimicrobial Manual Pencil Sharpener, Black (MPS1-BLK)
27 November 2016
Okay for Students; Not Artists
If you are purchasing this sharpener for a classroom setting, you'll be happy. However, if like me, you are purchasing this sharpener for an artistic setting, prepare to be disappointed. This sharpener will absolutely inhale any pencil put into it. On top of that, it gives more one-sided points than any sharpener I've ever used. The sharpening blades seem to be lose right out of the box which may play a part in that. Hard, medium, or soft-cored pencils; it makes no difference. If you're planning on sharpening a premium-grade colored pencil, like a Prismacolor or Caran d'Ache Pablo, plan on watching your money get tossed in the trash. Also, before you say "Any artist should know that hand-sharpening is the best way to save yourself from this kind of disappointment"; try it. Sharpening by hand is a nightmare. That's the ONLY reason I gave this sharpener two stars. Again, if you only plan on using this sharpener for #2 pencils or some cheap Crayolas or RoseArts, you'll probably be satisfied with your purchase. I'm not sure about durability as, again, the sharpening blades seem to be rather loose by design. Lastly, the seller plays no role in this review, so please do not judge them based on my dissatisfaction. Hope this review helps!
