(More customer reviews)We bought this SABRE Pepper Spray for my daughter to carry with her when traveling to and from college, which is 6 hours in each direction. We know that SABRE is one of the main manufactures of Pepper Spray so felt comfortable with the brand. Here are my observations:
Likes -
+ Main Unit is perfect sized for the hand
+ Belt\Strap Clip is well designed so it is not likely to snag
+ Quick Release Key Ring works as expected and allows for detaching the Pepper Spray when needed
Dislikes -
- While the activation plunger must be twisted to use, I am not positive that it can't be positioned by accident
- Has limited shelf life, mine "expires" in March 2014 (4 years out)
My daughter says she feels better having it, but we still stress the importance of avoiding situations where it could be needed.
This is a conveniently sized canister that has bought us a little piece of mind.
Recommended!

(More customer reviews)I was worried that these pads might be too small for my seven year old, but they are very adjustable and look like they would fit kids much older and even smaller adults. The gel cushion seems like it will protect well.
Update: 6-15-08
These pads are great and durable...they have held up to many spills onto a gravel road and have protected my son very well. Good buy.

(More customer reviews)I had two pepper spray units for years; one stayed in my purse, and the other was always with me on walks with my dog. Thankfully, I've only had to use one of them, once, when my dog and I were under attack by a menacing, off-leash dog, that wanted to fight. I can't tell you how quickly pepper spray alleviated the problem. And, a couple of weeks later, I saw the escapee dog in a distant neighbor's yard and he looked absolutely fine. The night of the confrontation, I was walking a 130 lb. Akita (on leash), so I can guarantee, that if that dog had attacked my dog, he would not have been looking fine. A little pepper spray saved one, or all of us from some degree of harm. I'd call that some bang for the buck.
I decided to replace my units, after learning that they had passed expiration. Who knew! It never occurred to me, until someone told me that they have about a 5 year shelf life. So, essentially, I was walking around with decreased protection. Check yours---you might be surprised, too.
I was intrigued by the SABRE Red hard case units, in cotton-candy, pink, which benefits the National Breast Cancer Foundation. I thought, 'I need them, the price is right, and they benefit a worthy organization, so why not choose these.'
I'm so glad I did! First off, they are nice to look at, and they're made in the USA---yea. They have a pant, or belt clip, plus key ring, with quick release. They also contain 25 shots reaching a distance of approximately 8 to 10 feet. And, yes---they do function as described.
In addition to keeping track of expiration dates, remember to test your unit every few months to make sure it is not malfunctioning. With SABRE units, if they fail to function, anytime before the expiration date, they are warrantied for replacement.
I concur with another reviewer who stated you might take someone off guard with this cute little pink canister, because it doesn't look like a spray, or mace unit, but more like a container for a cosmetic item. Stealth mode is certainly always better than the obvious. I've purchased two units, and like them well enough to purchase more for gifts. Also, the expiration date on mine is March 2014, so they are definitely fresh units that will provide many years of increased security.
Update August 2010: I've recently ordered several more of these units, after my granddaughter was out jogging and a man tried to abduct her. He grabbed her, trying to drag her to his truck, but she was able to fight him off. He didn't have a weapon, so if she had just had a spray unit in her possession, she could have escaped his attack more readily. She WILL have one, now, as well as other loved ones. This incident was such a reminder for me of the value of some protection. Whether you buy this unit (which I recommend), or another brand, just don't be caught without one.

(More customer reviews)I am not usually one to leave review comments... but I certainly read a BUNCH of reviews on cases for my iPhone 3G. THANK YOU to all those who wrote reviews and helped me pick the Otterbox Defender case! This case is awesome. VERY durable, all functions are accessible... and yes, the oil slicking effect is sometimes present, but easily fixed.
The ONLY issue I had when I installed the case was that immediately after I installed the case, almost 95% of all people I talked to said they heard an echo every time they spoke (you know, when you say something and a second later you hear it in your ear piece... ANNOYING!).
I was bummed because the case is built like a tank and already saved my phone from a 6' drop onto the asphalt in the rain. Though, I decided to remove the felt pieces that cover the mic and ear pieces since they are only there to prevent possible drops of water hitting those phone components directly. Once I removed those pieces, not one person complains of hearing the echo anymore! Strange, but it worked... so I wanted to pass it on.
The echo was the ONLY issue I had with this case... it's the best case I could find and WELL worth the money. I recommend it to everyone I see with an iPhone now :-)
