    Enjoy it while in bed. Larger screen so games can be played easier than on phone.

    The tablet was NOT activated with Verizon before leaving the store. After numerous calls and contacts with Verizon (who could NOT activate either), the tablet was taken to the store for help. After 1-1/2 hours trying to resolve the problem, the SIM card was replaced. Looks like a bad card installed during the sale of the tablet. Very surprised that the activation was not done at the time of sale. The tablet also will NOT show the keyboard when needed to type or respond to a command eg. Facebook login.

    I wasn't too sure when I bought the Insignis Flex 8" tablet. I went by the reviews and they were right! It's a great tablet! Built like a tank. Not super thin or flimsy. It's thick n heavy. This is NOT a wimpy tablet. I liked the fact that it had great screen resolution and previously in its life it was a Verizon connected tablet. So that in itself makes it more of a powerhouse than just your run-of-the-mill brown bag tablets. The battery last plenty long, the Wi-Fi works great and did I mention that it's tough? Yes I did! It can easily run 10 programs (I've tested it) without bogging down. Ya gotta love Android for all that good code! If you get a chance, buy this tablet. It won't steer you wrong and even though it's only 8" in size, it's a Goldielocks tablet for sure. Not too big and not too small. Just right!

    Got this as a gift for my sister in-law, who is mentally disabled and she loves it. It was easy to show her and now trying to show everyone how to use it. If she can learn it and try tout show everyone how to use it, anyone can do it. This is a great piece for videos and tasks alike

    It does all I need it to do. The only thing is sometimes it gets "hung up" or becomes slow.

    I will say that this tablet is built pretty well, but is definitely on the heavy side. But as far as performance goes, it is just out of it's league at this point. I would only recommend this tablet for basic web browsing, and very basic games if that.

    Easy to setup and use even my 85 yrs old mom picked it up real easy to listen to minor league baseball games over the Internet. Not overly loud so external Bluetooth speaker or headphones would help while watching movies

    Nice phone, but has some issues with network connections lost and phone not coming back on. Phone went off and I could not get it to come back on. Talked with verizon and had me press all buttons at the same time. next thing I knew, it said erasing data. Lost text messages and contacts that didn't sync up yet. New tablet, did not work from day one. Best buy replaced sim and still not working. They replaced the tablet and new sim card all worked.

    This is an ok tablet with nice big bright and clear screen. However, it's heavier and bigger than the other 8 inch tablets. The cast to tv screen doesn't work well as it shows lines and flickers. Apps run ok, occasionally slow and freeze.

    Insignia 8 Flex Tablet

    This tablet was a free bonus for buying my Samsung Galaxy 5 cell phone last year. It served me well but the power connection port in the tablet failed after about one year of use. I bought the same model as a replacement because it was the cheapest available at BestBuy and I'm already familiar with its operation. I will be more careful about handling the power connection this time in hopes this tablet will last longer.
