Great towels!
Color: Navy Blue, Size: 40.00" x 20.00"
I absolutely love these towels! I bought them while living abroad and they lasted me for the entire year and a half and were the perfect packing size. I also love that they offer different sizes. Machine wash, easy to pack, soak up lots of water for such light weight and thin material.

Great for my lawn chair! Must have for the summer!
Color: Gray, Size: 40.00" x 20.00", Color: Gray, Size: 40.00" x 20.00"
I got the 40x20 in the grey and it fits perfectly folded in half for my chair! I get so sweaty so this helps keep it at bay. The little button clip is nice so it doesn’t fly away. The grey just matches perfectly! Lightweight & dries quickly. Perfect for the hot summer days at sporting events. Already recommend to my family members!

Great product for little money & easy to use.
Size: 7.9"
This is a great screen protector. It came with everything needed to apply it and it was extremely easy to put on. The included frame helped with putting on the screen protector perfectly and I didn't have any bubbles or dust, in fact I can't even tell it has a screen protector because the clarity is flawless. The screen protector fit perfectly. I'm extremely happy with my purchase and I will only buy from this store from now on. I highly recommend buying your screen protector from here.

Easy to apply. Excellent quality and value. 5 Stars
Size: 7.9"
Super easy to install. I don't know why I needed a 4 pack, except I have had other screen protectors in the past that I had debris trapped and had to reapply a couple times. (Remember to turn off fans and make sure the "air" is "still" when applying. If you live in a dusty house, go in the bathroom and turn on the shower for a min and turn up the humidity just a little, and make sure door is closed with no fan running) Use the prep pads, few easy steps = cakewalk. 1-2-3 bada bing. Easy peezy lemon squeezy !
