It's not the fault of Tech21 that these cases stain, however - it's because TPU holds onto the oils and dirt on our hands that occurs naturally.
But if that's what it takes to get a thin case that can withstand all the drops, then so be it. I wouldn't get anything else unless I wanted something waterproof, as this case has saved my iPhone 6s on many occasions from drops onto ceramic tile, cement, rock, and marble.

The good - it's at least solid. It also makes a good handheld or stand-up monopod.
The bad - it feels nearly as fragile as it looks and the mounting point gets really grindy-feeling quickly.
If you can pick this up cheap, it's good to have in the trunk for those moments you might want a tripod or a way to steady your smartphone. Otherwise, spend more and get something better.

I bought this after the bluetooth in a previous head unit died. The most important feature to me in a car is handsfree usage of my phone, and not having handsfree was a deal-breaker for me.
So first, the good:
If you've already upgraded your head unit in your older vehicle, chances are this is going to be an easy swap for you. The worst part is you'll likely need to change the microphone out, but that shouldn't be a huge deal if it's not your first rodeo.
Sound quality is terrific for a sub-$100 head unit. While it doesn't have time correction or a multi-band parametric EQ, it does have the basic settings you'll need to adjust (bass, mids, treble) and a high-pass filter if you either like your music loud and don't want clipping or you've invested in a subwoofer.
This head unit has 3 sets of pre-outs - front, rear, and subwoofer - which will allow you to control where the audio goes should you choose to use an external amp instead of the built-in speaker outputs.
Bluetooth allows for two separate phones (or other devices) to easily be connected. USB allows for both higher-quality audio output from your phone (or other device) and easy Bluetooth pairing (there's a menu setting that uses USB to pair your iPhone or Android phone easily).
Bluetooth HD Voice is also supported, so everyone using VoLTE, FaceTime, or other telephony and video chat apps that can use HD Voice will work as advertised in terms of sound quality.
No CD player so there's no CD player to break.
iPhone audio controls are supported OoB so you don't have to run an update to support play, pause, skip, fast-forward, random, and repeat on your iPhone running a newer version of iOS.
Adjustable faceplate lighting so you can match or contrast your dash lights.
Now the bad:
The default blue clock setting is difficult to read.
It can only store pairings with 2 devices at a time.
Buttons are small.
No advanced audio controls beyond bass, mid, treble, and high-pass.
Hands-free button isn't obvious on what it is.
Mic gain settings are a button instead of a menu item.
Unit gets very hot during usage and could benefit from a cooling fan.
Looks like a CD player even though it isn't.
All in all, it's Alpine quality as always.

eufy Security Outdoor Cam Pro 2K is a wired 2K Wi-Fi surveillance camera that is completely free of the bounds of an external system hub- instead storing all the information locally in the 32gb SD card that comes with it. Check your high-quality, encrypted, 2K footage whenever you need to via the eufy Security app and only be alerted of the things that matter with AI Human and Pet detection. Outdoor Cam Pro is not compatible with eufy HomeBase. The USB adapter is not waterproof, a cover is required for outdoor use.
 

Can you record to a home NAS (QNAP) instead of the SD card or other cloud storage.

Yes. Eufy stand-alone camera products that don’t require a Homebase, such as this camera, are compatible to network video recorders supporting RTSP.

Was wondering if this can be tied into my existing Guardian security app. Is it z-wave compatible?

It’s not Z-wave conpatible.

Can it connect to a homebase to use with Homekit? Or can it connect to HomeKit without a base like the indoor 2k camera does?

No and no. Eufy stand-alone wifi cameras use the app but mot the HomeBase, and most are not compatible with HomeKit Secure Video so you’d have to use the app to watch footage recorded directly on the camera, or a RTSP-compatible NVR.

What is the motion range for this camera? I am looking for a camera that the motion activation is about 80-100 feet.

It’s dependent on the environment you place it in and what’s, but I would say at full sensitivity, it picks up on motion up to 75’ out by itself.

Now if you want to use the camera with a NVR/DVR with its own motion detection capabilities, these cameras support RTSP.

Either way, the night vision range is upward of 100 feet.

Plan to put this inside behind window. Will the window glass interfere with the spotlight? And when is this spotlight used (I don’t think I would need it… maybe opt to not turn on?)

Not only will the glass interfere with the spotlight, it’ll interfere with the night vision IR LEDs too. This camera is designed to be placed outside, you just need to make sure there’s a covered power outlet close to it.

Is there a bill associated with this? Do you have a camera system that I can check on my home computer

Totally free to use unless you want to sign up for Eufy’s monitoring service.

It can, and I believe up to six different accounts including your own. Of course, I just use the same login with my wife and kid.

eufy Security Floodlight Cam 2 Pro provides 360° pan and tilt camera coverage in 2K HD resolution. It boasts smart lighting, real time communication via 2-way audio, all with zero monthly fees. You don't even need a eufy Security HomeBase. This eufy Security Floodlight Cam 2 Pro is compatible with most smart devices and can be easily controlled through the eufy Security App. The floodlight can be installed either on the wall or on the ceiling. (Existing outdoor wiring and weatherproof junction box required.)
 

Are the light panels replaceable ? By far the only reason why I have not bought anyFlood lights from Them is because the fluid lights only last about 5 years is the expectancyIf you can't replace the lights then all you have left is a camera...

The direction Eufy, along with every other company that manufactures a similar product to this, has taken is not to use user-replaceable LED modules, be it panels like this or more traditionally-shaped lights like others. While this isn't necessarily a great thing, it's also not a bad thing as you'll likely want to upgrade the unit in a few years as higher-resolution cameras or smarter AI capabilities become available.

If this is a deal-breaker for you, you'll want to get a floodlight and a separate outdoor camera. To match the functionality of the Eufy Floodlight Cam Pro 2, you'll need a camera with pan and tilt capabilities. To match the Floodlight Cam 2k, you'll only need a fixed camera like the Eufy Outdoor Cam Pro, which uses a wired power source, or the Eufy EufyCam 2 or EufyCam 2C, which are both battery-operated.

i have vinyl siding. can this be used to mount the Eufy battery doorbell?

As long as you can securely screw this into your house, yes. I’d recommend a visit to your local hardware store to find wall anchors that stand off of whatever’s behind the siding.
