Liking this case
on May 31, 2021
Posted by: mjohns
Verified Purchase:Yes
Excellent quality in materials and workmanship. Very tight fit .. difficult install. Very little in the way of grip .. grippy edge around the screen but that's it. This goes well with the magesafe wallet or their own follio with magsafe. Buttons are easy to use however without a distinctive "click".

Designed by Apple to complement iPhone 12 Pro Max, the Leather Case with MagSafe is a delightful way to give your iPhone extra protection while adding style.Made from specially tanned and finished leather, the outside feels soft to the touch and develops a natural patina over time. The case quickly snaps into place and fits snugly over your iPhone without adding bulk.With built-in magnets that align perfectly with iPhone 12 Pro Max, this case offers a magical attach experience and faster wireless charging, every time. When it's time to charge, just leave the case on your iPhone and snap on your MagSafe charger, or set it on your Qi-certified charger.Like every Apple-designed case, it undergoes thousands of hours of testing throughout the design and manufacturing process. So not only does it look great, it's built to protect your iPhone from scratches and drops.This case is made with high-quality, supple leather to protect your iPhone. Leather is a natural material and like a fine leather belt, it may show creases, marks, or a patina over time. Interaction with MagSafe accessories will leave slight imprints (as shown in the last image of the gallery). If you are concerned about this, we suggest you use an iPhone 12 Pro Max Silicone Case or Clear Case.

I been buying the Apple leather case for each new iPhone for as long as i can remember. It's a simple, quality execution that reminds me all the other cases fall a bit short in their promises -- and i do buy a lot of other cases. With the addition of magsafe this year, i'm going to watch for magsafe accessories and try to empty out that case-drawer. We'll see...

It has a blue tint when the phone is off (looks cool) but don't see any difference when powered on. the application apparatus was less than useful -- didn't use it and still got a perfect alignment w/o bubbles. the surface feels extremely smooth.

Pulls in the stations

This antenna is the best so far for indoor use, excellent reception. The stand needs to go back to the drawing board .. it works, looks good, but it's not stable. It like a balancing act: the base is too light and small. If you can live with the looks (it's a bit big), highly recommend.

This mount is really well made plus the inner structure seems to be metal. I'm still not too sure if auto manufactures would approve of CD mounts however I'm not using that CD player for anything??? The magnet is very strong and the "soft" contact surface keeps phone from sliding.

Great Auto GPS

Verified Purchase:Yes
Really like how this integrates with Car Auto, Phone, and Information services along with the optional BC40 wireless backup camera (battery powered, so it's really wireless). With a ton of features, it's still very easy to setup and use. Would like to see more "branded" mounting options. The only minor down side is updates via a computer are unintuitive (too much manual intervention but still easy). Updates via built-in WIFI works well if a bit slower. This device gets a solid recommendation.

Well I can honestly say this has helped reduced my electric bill -- can easily change from a standard thermostat to a schedule base one to a "smart" one .. and using the very easy and insightful online web-interface, can compare usage against outside temp and how different settings alter electrical usage. Can't believe it took me so long to get one of these things.

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.

Does the Drivesmart 65 come with lifetime traffic and maps?

Yes. Out of the box, It supports traffic via Garmin'a "live services" via the Garmin Express app .. bluetooth connection to your phone's data plan is used to retrieve traffic information as well a report traffic data back to Garmin with your consent. It also supports traffic that is broadcast via radio signals via an optional power cable such as Garmin's GMT60 (power adaptor+traffic receiver).
