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
