This works so....well....I already sent a note to my ex-wife telling her all about it, how she should look at them, and if what I have seen and what she has said is true, buy some. Me...I only need one...Her...she has a house - not a one-bedroom apartment like myself...so she can use more than one. Control: Room Light, Reading Light, Dim to Comfort, Temp for Ease on Eyes, and all that for only 20W for the Room Light and another 7W for the Reading Light. Watts Count and this one counts Watts Well. A lesson from my Grandfather, Thomas Alva Edison, Inventor.

I will not use the prefilled deposable k-cups due to the incredible waste that is created and the cost. But I am frustrated by how fragile all reusable Keurig K-cups are---no matter who makes the product. The filter's lid sold by Keurig (black with red plastic circle) always (eventually) breaks; the lid breaks off where the plastic flares out. GoodCups is easier to use because you don't have to "screw" the lid onto the body, which eliminates the risk if the lid breaking. But the plastic is very thin and the hinge is already showing signs of stress (plastic turning white). And because the lid is so thin it is difficult to get a good seal with the body and in a short time, the coffee grounds will begin to leak out into the coffee cup. It is difficult to tap on the body to get the used grounds to come out due to how thin the plastic is.....But the cost is better than the Keurig brand. I challenge a motivated inventor to develop a sturdy reusable k-cup.

Just wanted to give my input about this product.....I live in Boulder, CO where these Steelies were original thought up by a designer/fabricator in town, who last year sometime sold this thing to NiteIze which is also in town....anyway, when they first came out he was selling them in the local hardware store and they came with a little foam looking pen thing that was a liquid etcher.....not sure if these are in the package now.......You would crack the stick in the middle and some etching liquid would start soaking the foam tip, you'd then take and apply this to the area on your dash or what ever you are mounting the ball to. First you clean the area really really good with rubbing alcohol, then use the etching liquid then wait for a second then press the heck outta the thing onto the dash for a long time with hard pressure. I've had mine installed for the past two years with no problems and my truck has been plenty hot inside. As for people who have issues with the magnet sticking to their cases, try this...again clean the area like crazy with rubbing alcohol, then place with magnet where you want and if you can, get a couple small pieces of wood to fit over the magnet, place one piece on the magnet and the other piece on the back side of you case, then use a c-clamp and cinch it down tight, leave it overnight and that sucker is not coming off. If you need to get the magnet off to use on a new phone or case, again use rubbing alcohol and a butter knife, soak it with alcohol, work the tip of the butter knife under a small edge of the magnet, spray more alcohol, repeat with the knife....not sure what adhesive tape they have on these NiteIze packaged Steelies, but the originals had a 3M Industrial High Strength Adhesive tape, gray in color, can hold something like a brick to a brick wall, crazy stuff like that.Plus a major thing is when you are mounting the magnet on your phone or case, you have to put it in a specific position so that when its on the ball the bottom won't sink from the weight of the phone, let alone the weight and pulling of a charging cable. So mount carefully...It's almost center, but a little up on most 4-5 inch phones. Mine is mounted to a Galaxy S3 in a CaseMate Toughcase which has a checkered rubber back, I thought the thing would not stick after a while, but it's been there forever using the c-clamp install method...the last time I installed the magnet on this case I actually used the c-clamp attached it to my coffee table, worked perfect, just don't break your case or phone or battery cover.....Great product, props to the inventor[...]Anyway, steelies are the best thing ever, the guy who invented these has invented all types of products that people use, it's just a great idea. And for those who sit at a desk all day with their phone next to them...buy the Steelie stand thingy and put your phone on that while working at your computer/sitting at your desk...you will HAlove it...seriously......and then if you have a tablet you can use the magnet that comes with the stand for that. The ball thing is cool to, I'm installing it on a Samsung Mega 6.3" phone for my 85year old dad whos hands to work so great, he should be able to hold the phone now without pressing the volume and power buttons all the time!

My son wants to become an auerospace Engineer and a professor who invented the Oscar 3 who mentors him (asperger age 10) had gave me a few gift ideas for his birthday.Hex robotics,Engineering activities for kids,Auerospace engineer book for kids,This was one of the gift ideas and he loved it. He loved them all. He immediately started working on this and telling me the whole solor system. I knew he knew a little but not that much lol. But then again he is mentored by an auerospace and mechanical inventor professor. This is a must for the space lovers and does not break your pocket. They also have this at walmart same price.
