Assuming this is the right spot for the giveaway here it is

What I like about you videos is your quick and to the point and are still very informative in your videos.

The only thing about your videos that I don’t like is the intro video needs to be changed. The music keeps getting stuck in my head lol.

Congrats on 200 reviews and I hope I win.

guitargod108 says...

Good -All of your videos are concise and through. You tend to review a lot of different stuff and I like how you show your face first when you introduce new products and then go to the close up cam.

Bad – Can’t really put a finger on anything I don’t like at the moment. If I think of something I’ll tweet it.

Good – you have very nice in depth reviews and a very nice intro and you give away most of your products =] You have monthly guest reviewers and your just a overall great guy <:)

Bad- nothing much I saw erm… A Better hair cut ! o wait that doesnt mather or count ERMMMMMM more monthly reviewers =P! ME! cough LOL

Max says...

Hey Omar,
Good – I like the amount of detail you go into, not too much that they drag on and not to little that I don’t get a sense of the product. I also like the variety of products you review, that its not just cases.

Bad – Well let me think, it would be cool if you put more text on the screen to highlight things you say (likes and dislikes) sometimes you talk fast and I have to rewind to hear things right.

Lizlyly / Littlesimgirl says...

Good- i like watching all your video review because you spending the time to look at each product carefully and giving us the specific detail of each product.

Bad- I can’t really think of anything bad except sometime you talk a little bit fast so sometime it was kinda hard for me to catch what you were saying. but that’s just me with my English problem not you. :D

Josh says...

LOve all the information on a wide variety of things for the iphone, not just apps, or cases , but everything about the iphone is hit, Love it.

Love what you are doing, would love to see more top 10 best apps of all time, or top must have apps for fanatsy football or football fans, or tailgating.

Thanks Tucker

Livy says...

Hey whats up Omar,

The good thing about your videos is your intro, Man that intro music cant be beat!

not really a bad thing, but for some reason I do not like the background in the beginning of the videos after the intro. I think your using a green screen with a background and it gets somewhat messed up at times.

I love everything about your reviews, you are very thorough and are honest. I’ve used your reviews to compare different iPhone accessories that I had inquiries about.

I can’t think of anything I would want changed about your videos, they are perfect as is, just keep being honest with you reviews and keep them coming.

Congrats on your 200th review!

CharliZmoma says...

Hey Omar, Great videos!

Good – I love that u get different items that alot of people would use for their iPhone. I think u go into alot of detail of the product but ur also short & sweet about it.

Bad – I would like to see u spice it up abit, like videos outside of the office,(home). That is about it, not much that I could think of. U r so profecional, I like that!

Take care Omar

AnyTechReviews says...

Good – Your videos are pretty professional

Bad- You could mabey try to make them a bit more exiting

iloviphone3gs says...

Good- I like how you project your voice while doing reviews.

Bad- You could maybe be more excited while during your videos

sassysierra says...

good- thay are ez to under stand for ppl that do get tec stuff
bad- hmmmm well ther is noda that i can thing of

Sunny Grewal says...

Great reviews, continue what your doing!

Good: detailed professional reviews

Bad: If I thought you were a bad reviewer I would have unsubscribed.

Steve Krandel says...

1) You videos are always honest, easy to understand and fair.

2) Nothing you need to do better. Just do more of them. And include more apps.

Techwithlukasz says...

Good- professional videos and you dont do 20min unboxings
Bad- Videos could be more funny and exciting

Nick Atwell says...

Good –
1) Short, Sweet, and to the point.
2) You don’t BS us, if a product sucks, you say it sucks.

Bad –
1) I’d like to see the Title have the product first and review # second, so it’s easier to see what you’re reviewing from my subscribers box.
2) Be more excited to be reviewing, some of you stuff just seems like you’re 5 minutes from being asleep, which i understand as you have a new baby.
3) on your audio reviews, mention what genre the audio would be best suited for.

gandolf535 says...

Good- it’s very professional and informative in a short amount of time. It’s precise and to the point.

Bad-There isn’t really anything bad about your videos. I think you should be alittle more excited sometimes but that’s it

TheGreaOne313 says...

The Good is that your reviews look really professional and high quality.

The Bad is that you need to show more emotion in some of your videos.

Nexedzero says...

Very nice giveaway man good idea and great job getting to 200

Congrats on the 200 reviews man. Keep them up.

What I like about your reviews is that you go into great detail on the products and you give your honest opinion on them.

What I think you should improve on is bring a little more enthusiasm to the videos.

Nathan Han says...

hi. love the reviews.
anyways…
i like how ur reviews are very thorough and also a very mature reviewer.
I mean, you are not some kid trying to get money of being a Youtube Partner or anything like that.

You could improve ur channel and all by doig more reviews (more often).
And talk just a lil bit faster.

Thanks for all the videos and keep it going

mchavez703 says...

i like how your like how u speak the truth

i dislike um how u lack emotion sumtimes

rockgurl3000 says...

Hey Omar congrats on your 200th video :) . What I love about your videos are its short and NOT a 15 minute video on a case. Your videos are in detail and I like that you don’t just say a product is good just because a company gave it to you for free.

What you should improve on, let me see, I really don’t think you need to improve on anything. Your videos are awesome. Maybe you could review your products in a different location instead of your office at home. Keep up the awesome reviews Omar

Rockgurl3000

MrAppleHelp says...

Good – love your detailed case reviews

Bad – not enough giveaways and videos

pidr029 says...

congrats for 200th vid! keep it up man!

i just love all your reviews.. the’re very detailed.all the pros and cons, woah! thats really nice man! people will get the idea on what to but and whats not..

do more vids!lol

more power to you!

Bayareatech says...

Well OMAR to be really really honest im one of those subs that waits for a new video of urs to be posted. I Get the most info from ur videos about ur reviews, compared to the reviewers with 5000 + subs urs im actually excited about viewing so good job

And well what can i say for this one…….. I would have to say the music on the intro, it has become pretty annoying. But thats it

Matthew Boyles says...

What i like about your reviews is the fact that you always tell ur honest opinion and it has always been one that is right for me for the most part, u also saved me $50 cuz u persuaded me to not buy the ivy t3 case.
You could improve o the length of ur videos but then they wouldnt be anywhere near as detailed most likely, so i guess theres really not much you can improve on, haha

Nathan Dores says...

Good: Great product reviews, very detailed. Not only just for cases but other tips and tricks, games, etc. Very nice.

Bad: Cheesy intro music :-p

Jason says...

Sup Omar! I love your videos! Love the intros and the bloopers in the beginning! I love how you always leave the goods and the bads of the product and how all the videos look so profesional! I also love how you never say “ummmmm” (Tom Moccia) LOL. I dislike how you don’t give a rating like 9/10 like LastStopReviews it would make it alot easier so at the end of the video you should just put your rating and summarize why you gave it that rating thats pretty much it. Congrats on the 200th review!

cadams379 says...

you go into the most detail in your videos

sometimes you have video that are to long and sometimes your not loud

Dilen says...

hi :)

crloga says...

Great contest to start.

1) Your videos always look professional. You cover the pros and cons very well. I like that they are short and to the point.

2) What I think you should improve on is bring a little more enthusiasm to the videos.

Mitch Harris says...

Great videos Omar. I think you can improve the length of videos and make them a little bit shorter, sometimes they are just to long and I have to skip through alot of the video.
The videos are great quality and you express your thoughts about the product very well.
Good Job!

Shadowfox00165 says...

Hey omar,
i love how your videos are full of great information and are very professional. Quality is great but in this video i noticed that there was some black spots around your neck like it was moving back and forth and stuff.
Your videos are kind of long and you talk alot but some of its good, some not.

m1kl10 says...

This looks like a really awesome giveaway.
mainly i like that you have loads of content and a bunch of products. [200 reviews]
what i don’t like is that sometimes they drag on a little bit. [but that drag is filled with good info]

dhstandard22 says...

Yo wuddup man,

1) I really like how proffesional your videos look. The camera quality is good and you cover almost everything in deep detail.

2)…not much i can think of but….mabye just to add a little something to the vidoes…don’t just have the product…..review it…over….just something….something small not too big or too long just to spice up the review.

1 thing i love about your videos is that they are super professional
1 thing i dont like is that i didnt find you on youtube earlier

Great Videos

Grubmeyer says...

Omar… Rockin’ like a rockstar since 2007. Thanks for all the content, video, show, giveaways, and all the other great things you bring to the community!

You bring the content that we’re all interested in and we all want to see. Your reviews are thorough and to the point. You give us the information that we need to know and leave all the filler for the other guys.

If I could change but one thing, it would be to bring back the weekly blogTV/stikam shows. The BMAi community is second to none and the time we spend every other week is very enjoyable. It’d be great to do it weekly, even without a developer interview.

Keep it up sir. You’ve done many great things for our community and I can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Nick F. says...

1. you always have a great sence of humor in your videos
2. keep you’re videos a little shorter don’t put in what you don’t need

God says...

1) i love how your videos are very in depth and nice quality

2) your video are sometimes too long

but overall i love your videos

David says...

I like that your reviews are informative and are on products I am interested in.

This may sound silly but the only thing I don’t like is when you say lets switch over to the other camera now, there is a delay in switching over.

Keep the reviews comin!

Rachel says...

Good- i like watching all your video review because you spending the time to look at each product carefully and giving us the specific detail of each product and so i know what to get before i buy one.

Bad- I can’t really think of anything bad except sometime you talk a little bit fast so sometime it was kinda hard for me to catch what you were saying.

jun says...

Firstly, I love how you are very concise with your reviews but I think you could improve on using words that communicate how an item feels.

hope I win!

longisland216 says...

Congratz on 200 great videos. n your success on YT.

Good: i like that your reviews are really professional looking. the products you review, I don’t see any other reviewer reviewing them, that’s really kool. i like your content.

Bad: nothing that I can point out right now. but, I think you should do something like your app of the week or case of the week or something along those lines.

David says...

Congrats on 200!

I like that you review alot of leather cases

I dont like the close up cam sometimes, I would like to see the size of the case more, and the close up cam doesnt help.

Youre the best, I give that to you!

sup omar!!! congrats on 200 awesome videos!
1) you always have content up so when i’m being an insomniac, i can go check out your vids on the tube or on here
2) there isn’t much to improve on, you’re doing awesome!

james laposky says...

GOOD: If im looking for a case i know to look for your review so i know what to get. Your videos are very accurate and reliable. You have really good giveaways that shows that you acknowledge your fans.

BAD: I cant really pick anything bad out!!!!!!!

3greviews says...

OMAR!
Congratz on the 200 awesome reviews! I love your reviews because one, you review unique products that not many other great reviewers review and two, you go into depth with your opinion but you don’t go on and on and on. You aren’t boring to watch/listen.

The Bad: Um…they could be a tiny bit shorter, but I can live without it being 2 minutes shorter. lol

-twitter, youtube : 3greviews

jshort says...

Good: you put the products through some “real-world” testing. I need to know how the products will be working weeks and months from now and you do that for us.

Bad: I would like the videos to be 5 min or less.

Thanks for doing what you do. It does make a difference.

twitter: jshortmd

Kameron says...

Good: You do a good job reviewing the products. All your reviews are in depth, and makes for a great buying guide.

Bad: Well, I’ve been looking for a review on a certain case, (XtremeMac Microshield) from a good reviewer. The video’s could be a BIT shorter.

Matrix_ESAG - Nuno Bastos says...

Hey Omar, how are ya? First of all CONGRATULATIONS on your 200 videos and on your 2-year reviewing great job!

Well for the september giveaway contest i’d like to say that you could add some more stuff to the reviews video description like for example your likes and dislikes, the main aspects of the products because sometimes is hard to get some of the things you say for several reasons (not all of them are your fault! eheh), and maybe (who knows) the place where people could get the products either fisical store or an online store (I think it would be a nice improvement) despite the concerns about publicizing the stores.

Well but I kept good things for last. I think (AND LIKE!) the conciseness of your reviews and the amount of informations and details you provide, you’re accurate and very reliable and I would hardly rely on anybody else! I also enjoy a lot your professionalism that you kept along the last 2 years and I have no doubt you’ll keep for the next 2 (when you’ll be celebrating the 400th or eve 500th review! Just to finish, I would like to say the I appreciate all the benefits you brought to our community, all the contests and all of the stuff you brought to us!

Once again thanks a lot Omar and hugs!

dragonskai says...

i like at your video that you explane everything so quickly. realy wants me to watch your videos.

what i dont like so much is are the intros, they are so long but still great videos man

flutetube says...

Congrats on 200 reviews! I think I have watched all of them! : )

Pros–I love how detailed you are about the products…you aren’t biased…you talk about all the pros and cons about everything that you review

Cons–Need to do stress tests of these products to see how well they hold up, or if you can’t do stress tests(because you are just borrowing the product for a review), then refer to other videos that have done stress tests, or what the consumer reports say about the durability and functionality of the products.

Thanks, and hope I win!! : )

Zack Miller says...

I like the detail you go into on your videos, it helps me to get a feel for the products before I can look at them in person. The only thing I would change is the Intro Video, other than that great Vids.

apwtwenty (terrenvitality twitter) says...

hi omar ‘grats on the 200th video! awesome!

what i like – is that you give a full, in depth review, and you review all aspects of the product without leaving anything out, very precise

what you could improve on – maybe add a poll or survey to a review. i liked doing the polls on blogtv on the live shows too. i know it was laggy and slow, but just my thoughts
very good work!

Uitahiti says...

Omar- wow 200th ! That’s awesome congrats! It’s a great accomplishment for sure. Ok so let me just mention that i’m ready for the stick-cam night! (freed up some time just for bmai!)

1. I love how you are very detailed in your reviews! You mention things the “other guys” simply don’t!

2. Improvement? Hmm let’s see your pretty much very well rounded. However I would like to see more travel accessories and perhaps some fun videos! Ok that’s it! Again thanks. Gunna follow u on Twitter right now!
Uitahiti

VooDooDNA says...

Grats on 200th video!!!!
detailed reviews! helped me to buy few items…
i don’t like the music of the intro!

Judesster says...

You give very detailed reviews. I feel like if I’m interested in a product and watch your review, it will def. make my decision at the end. You go all angles. Suggestion: (I couldn’t really find a negative) Maybe you can add some “product battling” sorta like prizefights from cnet- altho I know you hate comparing products :-P but it would be interesting to see strictly iphone bizniz :-) But overall, job well done with this site.

WeekendatLuras says...

I like your voice, its very soothing and good reviews. You explain everything well. a negative comment review more cases.

ReachingTech says...

Good – Man you have so many reviews and i like the quality of your videos.

Bad- U look bored in your videos

JustinBanko says...

I hope I win :)

Positive…you are very detailed and confident in your videos.

Negative…Hmm, this is a hard one…I guess you could do other tech related things…such as other apple products or just other tech for anything like game systems or cameras…

jst4tim (Tim) says...

Congrats again Omar.
I like how your review are quick and to the point and how you include the bloopers they always make me laugh. I would say you could improve by including blooppers more often in my opinion and not using your “crappy regular definition Sanyo Xacti with horrible sound” anymore LOL

Good luck to everyone

bzean_angel says...

Hey, Omar
love the reviews!!
some good things i like about your reviews is that their short and sweet, you always tell what you liked and disliked about a product…plus the intro seems very professional. And you don’t really need to improve on anything…maybe u can make the vids more interesting, and put better music:)…but great vids:D

Fred Myers says...

i like that you review everything in such deail and then write a short summary

i would like to see you expand your site more

mysterio says...

I like that your reviews tell things as they are. If something bothers you, you let the viewers know.

I would like to see more reviews, if possible more in depth ones.

David Barton says...

Dude, Videos are great! Keep up the great work.

If there were anything that I did not like it would be the actual opening of the packages…. Love to see what it came with, but really don’t care to see someone open it up. Just my opinion though.
