Product review: cobee Hand Wrist Strap

 

This item is a very simple product. It consists of a clear plastic with a metal reinforced ring that slides inside the camera case and a nylon lanyard. It only works with a case that is completely closed on the bottom, which just has holes for charging and earbuds. The bottom of the case is what holds the plastic tab inside the case. I am using a clear case, so I can see the plastic tab, but the tab is also clear, so it does not cover up the color of the phone's back. The tab does not interfere with wireless charging.
The wristlet is made out of black nylon and is 7.87 inches in length. It has a movable buckle that you can adjust to fit your wrist with a tighter fit. The wristlet provides some extra security from dropping the phone or having your hands free. I am going on a boat trip, and this wristlet will give me a little extra peace of mind that I will not drop the phone into the water as I hang over the rail trying to take the best picture.

Product review: Azoxus Sunglasses Rimless Pink Mirrored Lens Purple Frame

 

I've been wearing wrap-around sunglasses for years due to my light sensitivity. I've tried countless pairs, and these sunglasses, despite their lower price point, hold their own against much more expensive options.

While they might be slightly large for my face in width, the nose clip can be adjusted, ensuring they stay securely in place without feeling too tight. The height of the frame (top to bottom) is smaller than my other sunglasses, 1.5" at the point near the nose. The glasses are lightweight. The lenses are not removable.

I was happy with the quality of these sunglasses, especially considering the price. They're comfortable, lightweight, and provide good sun protection. The pink arms mentioned in the description are not pink, the color is actually lilac, i.e. light purple. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Product review: Clear Spigen Ultra Hybrid Designed for Pixel 9 Pro XL Case (2024)

 

 This listing combines multiple different cases made by Spygen. I am reviewing a clear case Spigen Ultra Hybrid Designed for Pixel 9 Pro XL Case (2024). The phone arrived yesterday, and I had one day of using the case in various situations.

I have been buying Spigen cases for my Pixel cellphones for many years, and they usually fit like a glove. However, this case is not as perfect as my old ones. On the left-hand side, there is some give; the case flexes a bit instead of hugging the phone. There is no visual gap, so it is not bad enough to return, just not as perfect as the cases I bought for my older phones.

All openings are in the right places, the case works with a wireless charger. The case extends about 1 mm above the screen and above the Pixel 9 Pro XL camera (which extends quite a bit from the back of the phone).

Product review: Wildlife Sciences High Energy Suet Cake - great for woodpeckers, bluejays, grackles

 

Suet cakes are loved by woodpeckers, bluejays, grackles, and, unfortenately, squirrels. It is a lot of fun to watch all of them.

Product review: Perky-Pet 334-1SR Birdfeeder, birds love it, squirrels hate it

 

Perky-Pet 334-1SR Squirrel-Be-Gone Max Large Wild Bird is the first bird feeder that the squirrels gave up on. We had it for over a month, then tried to use it for several weeks, unscrew the top, and so forth, and then gave up. The top is not screwed on, and the openings close reliably. Also, shaking the feeder does not drop seeds like some other bird seeders we tried. This morning, it survived another test. A bear grabbed it and took it away. He left it in the back of the property, unbroken. He removed the top, ate the seeds, and left.

Product review: FORUP Oriole Bird Feeder, Orange Fruit Oriole. Woodpeckers love it too!

 

Everyone loves FORUP Oriole Bird Feeder: orioles, woodpeckers, hummingbirds, catbird, and, unfortenately, squirrels. It is a lot of fun to watch all of them. Before this feeder we did not have orioles visiting, and now we do.

Product review: Original metal slinky - squirrel deferral that works

 

We purchased a set of metal slinkies to protect birdhfeeders from squirrels. They are effective! The squirrels slide down and give up.  

Surprisingly, the original metal Slikys, invented by Richard James in the early 1940s, are still made in USA as stated on their package.
