@KING LIAM The second one is really only for when you need to carry like one or two things, like if you're at an outdoor concert or fair or something
that is a lot considering the population
I like the first one because I'm a disgusting person who needs to carry everything electronic he owns at all times
Third one is a nice piece of luggage that'll fit in the carryon on flights
@DeftBeck yeah, but I think something like this is nicer: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Causal-Crazy-horse-PU-leather-Men-s-Envelope-Clutch-Business-Men-Clutch-Bags-Solt-Leather/32706923673.html
I bought it and to my surprise it's high quality
for everyday small stuff/concert
and yes, the third is nice if you travel with hand luggage/lightweight
Looks a bit too much like a purse for my liking
>going to concerts
we have king of normies here
I'm going to see Caravan Palace on Saturday
I am a normie outside 😛 but I don't like it...
Yes, electro swing is pretty Reddit
but it'll be a good show
but your third is nice for travelling lightweight/hand luggage
Yeah
I paid about $64 total for all three, because of the Muzee sale that went on a few weeks ago on Aliexp
I think I want it...
oh that's a good deal
Saved about $5-10 on each item, plus a $4 coupon on the total
I'm always looking for neat gadgets and small items, which is why Aliexp is fun. I usually see the same items rebranded and more expensive in pop culture stores and Walmart months later
For example, I see that Walmart and Best Buy are now selling those multi-outlet USB chargers popular with such outlets as Anker, UGREEN and Aukey
None of the retail ones have USB-C outlets, though. The only USB-C items I see at retail are single-outlet chargers from Belkin
Mainly intended for Pixel phones. There's also a number of Gamestop Nintendo Switch chargers, though almost all of them charge at sub-optimal wattage
I think that it takes a minimum of two to three months for an OEM to produce a mass-market electronic accessory, assuming they don't launch alongside a new cell phone, in which case they probably made an arrangement beforehand (MFi program)
what about shipping costs?
also, ugreen's products are quality. or at least look like they are . not sure about housefires
I only support electronic accessory companies on Aliexp that have a lot of crowns next to their name. I think that the overall safety of these products are improving over time, due to OEMs pressuring each other to build consumer loyalty and trust. Given the political climate of China, I think that the main pressures are market-based, rather than bureaucratic
if you want usb cables or chargers buy anker or ugreen
I agree
Anker's one of my favorite accessory brands
High quality, attractive packaging and industrial design
Though, a bit of a step behind in some aspects. I had a power bank from them which I exchanged for one with USB-C output from another manuf, which they only added to the model I bought about a month later
yeah I've read about them. nice niche and as I understand they nailed it
I read about the founders...
but I believe they cater for americans, I'm euro so I buy cheap chinese shit or try to find something better from ali
another chinese brand to watch is vention
anyway, I need to get my 2 packages from china... the mailman sent me a letter
byyyyeeeee boys and girls
nice werk, i got 3 tomorrow waitin 4me
I got 2 packages stuck in Helsinki and 1 in Estonia
tfw yeelight won't let me connect
