Review on elago R1 Intelli Case [Lavender Grey] - Advanced Magnet Technology & Heavy Shock Absorption for Apple TV Siri Remote 1st Gen - Includes Anti-Slip Function & Lanyard by Cho Screeton

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not ready for sale as they are currently on sale!

I bought three of these Intelli cases. I bought two for myself, black and blue with night light and a red case for my friend. All three cases increase the security of the tiny Apple TV remote. I find remotes easier as they add weight and feel. They also have a built-in long wrist strap. I love the Intelli holders, otherwise I wouldn't have bought three of them. But there are some issues that the manufacturer needs to solve. As I see these issues as major flaws, I have to downgrade my rating to two stars 1) The magnets are so far apart that none are strong enough to stick to anything. If they put a larger magnet in the middle of the case, it could easily be attached to my lamp, headboard or any other metal object. 2) The glow in the dark feature doesn't work at all. I can't see the Nightglow cover in the dark at all! 3) Other colors are needed on the black case, such as decals, molds, luminous bolts. The black casing is invisible in the dark, like the Apple remote control. I lose it all the time! 4. The textile handle has already come loose on two units. It's hard to believe that a material pin would fail in a short lifespan of three weeks. Aside from the issues above, they can be fixed by the manufacturer with minimal effort and money, I really like cases. However, until these issues are resolved, I will not be buying any more.
