"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: endo you see that do you see that on screen hi i'm patrick holland i've been reviewing phones for six years at cnet and today i'm going to take a look at some popular amazon phone accessories now i don't know what these accessories are i'm taking a look at them figuring out what they are and determining whether i like them or not very excited see we're going to get here all right what do we got here it's called tltd hold your phone more comfortably and securely okay it's like having a pillow for your pinky often times in life i've wanted a pillow for my pinky so let's open this thing up here i feel like oh there we go okay so this is it and um i'm just gonna say that the shape of the pinky part looks suggestive to me it looks like a butt this looks like a butt but let's try it all right i'm gonna peel this off yeah so i'm gonna put this on here oh okay i gotta say this is kind of comfortable there's a little locking mechanism so i can lock it up or i can lock it down if i'm in a meeting i can annoy people by doing this i don't know i think it's practical if you don't put your phone in a pocket because this thing sticks out more than the pop thingy or the lock ringy thingy because at least those things fold down you know whereas this i'm gonna always have this bulge on the back yeah so would i recommend this if you never put your phone in your pocket yes number two number two oh okay so this is called screen cleaning mist i'm gonna guess that this is mist that cleans your phone screen that's my that's my guess on the box it says there's a spray and cloth in one so if you're tired of carrying out a separate spray and a separate cloth this puts them all in one and it says no aggressive chemicals aggressive chemicals that is a punk band i used to be in in the late 90s all right here we go oh okay it kind of looks like mace but it has like a little chamois on the outside the craftsmanship of attaching the chamois or the little wiping cloth not so great you can see it's uneven at the top and bottom whoever applied this did not make sure that they were even or didn't trim the bottom to match the top so i'm not too impressed off the bat i have a couple phones here let me let me try it out see there's a little before and after okay now i'm gonna spray it all right and i'm gonna now wipe it with my um it works pretty well um all right here's the after it works the longevity of this product is where i would be curious you could probably see on the side that it's already saturated so i don't know what happens when the gunk and grease and oils saturate this little cloth on the outside do i have to buy a whole nother one okay would i use this i would not use this this would be something if i was like at a trade show and i got like a tote bag and i got in i'm like oh yeah this is pretty cool i think i probably used the misting part and then end up using a separate cloth once this cloth got dirty this product is very small it's called fingertip video controller all right so this is how you charge it i guess let's see it's blinking oh hi oh this this is my fingertip video controller you don't have one so i'm going to try to pair it to the iphone first and we'll try the pixel second here all right it's paired the light here went solid should probably go on the inside of my finger oh we're recording the screen to my phone and this actually stops and starts the screen recording so i'm going to cancel the screen recording for a second here i'm going to switch hands here i'm going to adjust so we could see what i'm doing on my phone it's not working and i don't know if it's because we were screen recording before i'm going to pair this with a different phone and we'll try the pixel here now according to the box it only works with iphone ipad and tablets okay here we go so we're connecting look at this thing look at this it's it shows like a little keyboard on my screen and the icon is the same as the finger tip video controller all right we're on youtube i'm gonna go probably cnet again okay so the video is playing but this controls scrolling ah so i'm scrolling all the uh other suggested videos under the video here that's kind of cool it's working is it though what happens if i do this okay do you see that do you see that on screen so when i tap it you see a indication of a cursor swiping so it's swiping left pinning where buttons are located you could tap them as long as they are in the exact center of the screen so basically what we've learned here is this thing works but really what it's doing is it's just tapping what's ever in the middle of whatever screen of whatever apparent so i'm going to guess on this moment here if i do it it's going to open up keep notes because that's in the middle of the screen and it open up keep notes okay we figured out how to use this thing now so let's watch some tick tocks so i'm too lazy to use my thumb to scroll so i'm gonna use this device to do that we're back to that same cat video i'm not enjoying this video i'm gonna click once dog translator video someone sure likes it clearly works uh so let's say like this video i like i can double tap to like it someone sure likes his greek yogurt it worked it worked let's talk about this why would i not use this product it's just doing the things i could just do with my hand on the phone wait wait wait wait come back come back come back i did think of one use for this if i'm an older brother i could pair this to my younger brother's phone without him knowing it and then take control of his phone and upset him that's where this would be completely worth ten dollars to me upsetting my younger brother oh i thank you good sir this is called magnetic phone holder and it's exclusive for the iphone 12 and 13 series let's just uh get to it here to install it here this is like this is intense i feel like uh i'm in eighth grade social studies this part's gonna go on my laptop yeah so it's gonna be like here i'm guessing like that give my laptop a shot for tuberculosis here and then i'm going to take the little tab here and peel and then i'm going to put this on my laptop oh i've realized how this could all work together all right this is fantastic now here i am working i'm scheduling some important events as i do every day at work uh but let's say i want to be entertained so i'm going to open this up and i'm going to attach this to my phone here say i want to watch a video you know just like you do at work so now i got my video yeah i like this product quite a bit i think the product itself is actually really well made it feels like it's made of aluminum or metal i'm wondering though so i'm going to take my iphone off here all right so this is not designed to go with this but here is a pixel 6 pro so put that on there and open up tick tock i'm going to use the fingertip video controller now i could really get a lot of work done scheduling my events and forwarding videos scheduling my events forwarding videos now this 10 controller priceless you know what this is the setup uh i would say out of everything i've tested so far this is my favorite 16 bucks 16 bucks i would get this i think this is a really good product oh okay this looks interesting so this is called the uh smart timer phone lock let's see what happens here so i'm gonna open this up on the inside it says lock my phone period lock my dream instead of all the products so far this is not only the most practical but the most philosophical as well i got the phone i put the phone in the box i'm gonna lock up my dream close this here number two i'm gonna turn on the box by clicking the lock button one click i got two minutes set and i'm gonna double tap this double click it and now it should be locked and it gives me a 10 second countdown so now the box is automatically locked all right let's see if i can open this thing up while it's locked i mean if i really wanted to i feel like i could break it open um but my phone i guess i'll have to wait two minutes as a locker how does it work i think it works pretty well the bigger overarching question is why why does this exist my thinking is if maybe you have kids and you want to limit your kids time with their phone you can put it in here lock it up yeah i mean it it feels good i don't understand the cutouts you can find charger phone i think that's why i could have the phone being charged while i was in here through one of these holes tap to unlock it it says those weren't minutes we typed in those were hours so there's an hour and 54 minutes left of this well luckily for us there is an emergency unlock scenario and i'm going to tell it to you right now but i feel by telling it to you it's kind of going to destroy the usefulness of this product so if you're a child and your mom locked up your phone and you want to unlock it just do this hit the up arrow on the left side 10 times in a row to unlock it thanks mom i'm sure i won't use my phone for the next two hours tick tock i feel by showing off this product i might be doing it a disservice because if i didn't show people that emergency unlock part of it then this thing is worth it i think here's the last product let's take a look that was a fantastic handoff oh clearly this is a charging pack of some kind it says my port power bank and it's a detachable wireless charging stand it's key certified so that means it's going to work with your iphone and android phone or really any phone that has two wireless charging it has a 10 000 milliamp hour battery in theory this could be something that you charge like once a week or once every couple weeks if you're using it frequently let's open it up i don't know about this color color looks like a cadillac from the late 80s like a khaki metallic khaki color it's described on the box as a warm silver let's get this thing going here i have a basically a power bank which is nice so on the bottom i have a usba a usb-c cable if i want to use the dock i'm going to slide this in like so and now i have a dock all right we're going to charge this up a little bit okay so this is a wireless charger but let's see if it works when it's plugged in i put the iphone on here and it's charging let's try the pixel 6 pro it's still charging it's pretty cool and then in theory let's say that i need to go and continue to charge my phone i should be able to take this out and it's still charging honestly what i like about this is a lot there's a lot of likes about this i like that this can just be a portable power bank i like that i could charge the power bank part of it on the dock as well feels pretty cool i'm not too crazy about the color but apparently comes in black and it's a very big power bank so you could do like an ipad and a tablet pretty easily do you know the price for this thing 58 i think if i got this in black for 58 i would be very happy i just found out that the black version is 52 i would definitely get this hey guys so that's all i've got if you like this video give it a thumbs up and we'll do more of these kinds of videos but now i want to hear from you which of these amazon finds did you like would you buy any of them would you buy this thing i'm starting to like it a little bit if there are other amazon finds that i should try out throw them in the comments and also please subscribe to cnet's youtube channel and we're gonna make a lot more delicious videos like this i'm gonna get back to my zoom call on my computer and i'm gonna be watching some tick tock videos ooh this is a like no i'm paying attention no i really i'm with you hang on i got to do a calendar event here no my other phone's locked up in the box it's a long story youdo you see that do
