Lasted less than 3 months: Good idea, poor execution

As expensive as this peripheral is, it should have lasted much longer. The concept is fantastic, but the implementation shows that competition is not enough to produce quality products. I hope to find a similar but better product. Here are my issues with it: - After less than 3 months of use, one of the gold contacts connecting to the Magic Keyboard fell out. I tried to fix it but it still took a week or two. The charging port opening is not big enough for some of my charging cables and I had to file down the plastic to make the cables fit. Apple Pencil is hard to come by. Outside. When my CoverBuddy was on its last legs (after the gold contact was repaired) I cut a finger-width slit in the top of the CoverBuddy where the Apple Pencil sits and it was so much easier to grab. There are no downsides either. I would have preferred it in the original design. The lock button could also be easier to press. I also cut out this piece of plastic and it was much better.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • Zero
