I upgraded my Galaxy S5 with the Defender for years to the S9+. Protects the higher investment just like the old one! (Different size case, of course) The handy clip -on belt holder is also great.
One caveat: The structure of the case has protective rubber caps for the USB-C and other connectors on the bottom. And the skeleton case also has reinforced plastic obstructions protecting those ports. If you have oversized or "beefy" USB or earphone connectors, they may not clear them. I also have a camera which attaches to the USB-C (DJI Osmo Pocket with a USB-C interface slide in adapter) which will not reach (too short) through the Defender. You may need a USB-C female to male extender (longer than normal and slim to fit through the Defender) or settle for a cable that does the same (make sure it's charging and data!). I chose the adapters.
The Defender always does it's job . . . but if you have exotic uses for your S9+, there are ways to adapt.

I previously purchased one of these Samsung wireless pads a few years ago for my Galaxy S5. Little did I know that unit did not have the Qi capability. But standard charging worked fine. I just upgraded to the S9+ (thinking I already had a charger(!) but since I've always used an Otterbox Defender case, the old model just didn't do that job either!
This one does the trick WITH the Otterbox case. I have read a few posts claiming it didn't work but what I found out is "It's the placement, stupid!" If it's cocked to one side or directly in the middle, it might not "catch." When you position it in the middle just below the camera (not perfectly centered), the charge light comes on and has done the job every time. In other words, more of the top of the S9+ should be hanging off the pad than the bottom. It works with the Defender.

Replaced a older, grimier Logitech combo on a retired employee's desk for the next user. Fills the bill with an attractive wireless price.

Never play 120 fps games. I simply replaced two ATI Crossfire cards (HD 6700 series) from a couple of generations back and gained more space and less clutter with fewer cables in a new case. But in my research it was getting good reviews and as far as I understand the Crossfire feature is accomplished without the tether in the newer generation cards anyway so I can expand later if necessary.

I replaced an aging laptop with this for our receptionist. No need for blazing speed or quantum physics calculations just email, a little browsing and accounting. I won't say it can't handle a little more. Never need to push it.
It's a clean little machine.

I own one of the earlier Intouos tablets which is still working quite well. The smaller size and the wireless capability of this tablet is a nice upgrade. I have one at home and one at work now.

I own quite a few SanDisk products in my life and they have stood the test of time: on key rings, in pockets . . . in fact, I just had a USB port fail but the Sandisk got re-plugged into another port and worked just fine.

Additional state or local requirements may apply. Check your local jurisdiction. The following websites may help you make informed decisions about flying your drone: www.knowbeforeyoufly.org and www.modelaircraft.org.
Is this 2 more batteries as shown (with another one powering the drone) or just 2 total in pkg? I assume the latter. Nice deal either way but 3 would be excellent!

Will this work with Sony XR-65X-95K tv and Optimum cable box?
With every remote for the past 20 years or so, the mfg gives a list of categorized codes printed in font size -10 in neutral grey ink to punch into remotes to find the working formula. This is no different. I go to the mfg website and download the pdf manual so I can ZOOM in. Much easier! No pain, no gain!

will this work on a sony UBP-X700 blu ray player?
From the information provided: A device is compatible if the 1) correct tip is available, 2) voltage is between 3 and 12 V DC, 3) input does not require more than 1.3 A of current, and 4) polarity is positive. Not for use with laptops.
You need to compare the specs on your defunct power supply to see if they match. For instance, if voltage (it has a switchable voltage!) matches. If the plug fits. And if your old one doesn't require 2 or 3 amps or above, you're good.

Im not tech savy . So that being said , does this operate wirelessly from my modem and or my cell phone ?
No, not @ $49.95 or so. It has a wireless remote, though. And you could hook up a device with the proper mini-stereo cable if your phone has the out jack on it. I've posted in other questions that the speakers on this is atrocious. However, I connected the speakers from its predecessor which sounded great.

will this work on a Samsung TV 32 model #UN32J400DAF
Large devices like a TV with an external power supply USUALLY are similar in power consumption to laptop. This unit is designed to replace the power of something that would be using batteries like AA,AAA, C, D or 9V. TV's and laptops have heavier current needs than this would handle.

Will this work for arcade1up turtles machine??
I don't know that device. What's important when replacing the power supply of anything is to compare voltage, wattage and amperage. This unit works from 12V to 3V (or the voltage of two AA, AAA, C or D common battery@1.5V each.) This has a 1.3 amp upper limit and a wattage output of 15W. These are the two critical measurements! If your device draws more than 1.3 amps, this supply will work for a little while until it burns out minutes later! Or your house whichever goes first . . . This also why the put the comment "Not to be used for laptops." They draw too much current for this little thing. Generally speaking, if your device can use AA,AAA, C,D or 9 volt batteries, you're good. Most devices that use external power supplies will have voltage and amperage marked on its case by the power jack or if you have it's old power supply, it'll be marked. If your device exceeds those of the power supply, look for a better supply. Be safe!
