The charge takes place overnight and the tablet is ready for use first thing in the morning. I have several pairs of Clarks, all either 81/2 or 9M that fit perfectly. I would recommend this shoe to anyone. They are connect to a Cisco VOIP phone. Ive been using the JVC $6 *wired* earphones for years and absolutely love them. Shame they are not the right size for me. Looks more expensive than it is. It looks great and functions for exactly what I need. A little hard to pull my brushes out since I have brushes in very different sizes and the cleaner have relatively limited sizes. I like that the case is clear so the bronze gold case can be seen.
