@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

2017-06-28 13:10:10 UTC  

that is a lot considering the population

2017-06-28 13:10:23 UTC  

I like the first one because I'm a disgusting person who needs to carry everything electronic he owns at all times

2017-06-28 13:10:40 UTC  

Third one is a nice piece of luggage that'll fit in the carryon on flights

2017-06-28 13:11:13 UTC  
2017-06-28 13:11:23 UTC  

for everyday small stuff/concert

2017-06-28 13:11:45 UTC  

and yes, the third is nice if you travel with hand luggage/lightweight

2017-06-28 13:11:49 UTC  

Looks a bit too much like a purse for my liking

2017-06-28 13:12:00 UTC  

>going to concerts
we have king of normies here

2017-06-28 13:12:10 UTC  

I'm going to see Caravan Palace on Saturday

2017-06-28 13:12:15 UTC  

I am a normie outside 😛 but I don't like it...

2017-06-28 13:12:15 UTC  

Yes, electro swing is pretty Reddit

2017-06-28 13:12:27 UTC  

but it'll be a good show

2017-06-28 13:13:00 UTC  

but your third is nice for travelling lightweight/hand luggage

2017-06-28 13:13:09 UTC  

Yeah

2017-06-28 13:13:20 UTC  

I paid about $64 total for all three, because of the Muzee sale that went on a few weeks ago on Aliexp

2017-06-28 13:13:26 UTC  

I think I want it...

2017-06-28 13:13:30 UTC  

oh that's a good deal

2017-06-28 13:13:41 UTC  

Saved about $5-10 on each item, plus a $4 coupon on the total

2017-06-28 13:14:33 UTC  

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

2017-06-28 13:15:11 UTC  

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

2017-06-28 13:15:41 UTC  

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

2017-06-28 13:16:27 UTC  

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

2017-06-28 13:17:53 UTC  

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)

2017-06-28 13:18:16 UTC  

what about shipping costs?

2017-06-28 13:18:34 UTC  

also, ugreen's products are quality. or at least look like they are . not sure about housefires

2017-06-28 13:20:45 UTC  

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

2017-06-28 13:21:00 UTC  

if you want usb cables or chargers buy anker or ugreen

2017-06-28 13:21:04 UTC  

I agree

2017-06-28 13:21:12 UTC  

Anker's one of my favorite accessory brands

2017-06-28 13:21:21 UTC  

High quality, attractive packaging and industrial design

2017-06-28 13:22:04 UTC  

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

2017-06-28 13:24:01 UTC  

yeah I've read about them. nice niche and as I understand they nailed it

2017-06-28 13:24:08 UTC  

I read about the founders...

2017-06-28 13:24:38 UTC  

but I believe they cater for americans, I'm euro so I buy cheap chinese shit or try to find something better from ali

2017-06-28 13:25:16 UTC  

another chinese brand to watch is vention

2017-06-28 13:25:28 UTC
