pop-up/down, kickstand-open/close perform exceptional well. always preferred the smooth surfaces of popsockets: easy, comfortable & stable. many newer alternatives leave comfort or performance out.

been wanting to try a streaming stick
on January 9, 2026

Verified Purchase:Yes
first i'm a big appleTV (hardware) fan and bought 4k max to try. for what i paid it's okay but if paying full msrp would be disappointed. first up is the remote .. light & cheap but works well. picture is good and UI is functional & responsive. however did experience random buffering & hangs with video (not often but this was with amazon's own app that i never experienced with appleTV & 1gb fiber & amazon app). and the interface seems like one big AD driven attempt to "integrate" different services (or hide them) under the fire UI. hdmi-cec works well with my setup and found a full selection of expected app's. the length of the power cable fell short for my setup & tv's 15w usb indicated it was under powered (but worked?) but extension cord & included usb brick worked well. without appleTV hardware, i could live with this stick as an inexpensive alternative .. just buy it on sale (often). also, storage seems limited .. my watch has 4x more .. but was more than enough for my needs.

Screen protectors don't have to be difficult. The dbrand Prism for the iPhone 17 Pro Max features an idiot-proof self-aligning tray that guarantees a flawless installation, every time. Clocking in at a 7 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, the premium tempered glass is ultra-durable, yet easy on the thumbs thanks to its chamfered edges - perfect for edge swiping.

easy to install

setup/install is simple enough to perform with better than acceptable results. the glass itself has smooth surface & edges and nicely fits although the very edge does show slight refraction in image (all sides but perfect centering does helps to minimize effect). and it's case friendly. including two full protectors is comforting.

a good mount for popsocket fans. there's a good grip to the vent .. not sure if it'll loosen with time as it's just a pinch style (doesn't hook to the vent fin). does blocks a/c .. phone stays cool.

best pop* alternative

Verified Purchase:Yes
it's nice and thin. like that it's made with metal accent and that it's has a strong magnetic attraction to other surfaces (can easily place phone on side of fridge). like that the pop-up stays put when not in use. iffy that i need to adhesive stick it to phone for a secure fit which kind of defeats "mag-safe" .. but most mag-safe chargers & accessories work with this in place. i usually have a mag-safe wallet on top of this.

high price without offering any advantage. like the oneblade better however this did have a foil option which is nice. too narrow, no real update, and so-so performance. does look nice and feels solid.

popsockets just feels "more" right. although this feels questionable, it has held up and i do like the thin-ness and metal-plate (magnetic -- both the closure and being able to attach to mounts). looks great too.

Ensure clear recording of road incidents with this Thinkware Quad HD dash camera. Wi-Fi connectivity enables downloading and sharing of recorded footage with a smartphone, and Super Night Vision 2.0 technology provides optimal brightness for low-light scenes. This Thinkware Quad HD dash camera comes with a hardwiring kit for parking surveillance purposes and a 32GB microSD card for video storage.
 

Does BestBuy stock the Thinkware hardwiring cable for the Q800? I had BestBuy hardwire the F800 into my truck with the Thinkware hardwiring cable TWA-SH. That cable should also work with the Q800, but I can't find it or an alternative on the website.

I've never seen the cable at BestBuy. At BestBuy, my Q800 came with both the hardwire cable plus the 12v accessory cable in the box. The F800 and Q800 do share the same cable. It's also available at blackboxmycar website as well as the thinkware website.
