Description of Dot Genie Google Home Backpack

The newest and cleanest member of the Dot Genie line of outlet mounts and the first and best for the Google Home Mini. Visibility and sound is improved – see and speak to your voice assistant from anywhere in the room!. Dot Genie created a patented custom plug with a “dummy ground” for strength that attaches to The Mini Backpack and holds your Mini tightly in place in every possible outlet configuration with the least clutter. The best wall mount! Even works on ceiling outlets!. The Mini Back Pack by Mount Genie installs in seconds and works with VERTICAL and HORIZONTAL outlets and does not block the second plug. The compact design allows for easy movement from room to room and great to take on trips!. Because of the custom plug, no silly cord wrapping is required during installation. Requires a 3 prong outlet.

Not worth the investment

After I put it to the test, I was disappointed with the results. The backpack seemed to be poorly made, with flimsy material that didn't provide adequate protection for my device. The one positive aspect was the ease of use but it wasn't enough to make up for the overall flawed design..

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Poorly made, inadequate protection

The included power cord is too short - partially blocks the second plug, leaving it unused for a long time

Great idea - works well. Although there are a few complaints. 1 - The supplied cable is too short. A simple touch of the cable, which is taut and at a slight angle, often resets our Mini. This isn't usually a problem, other than plugging it into an outlet next to the switch so it can be touched. We even restarted it once by simply turning off the lights next to it. I'm concerned about the voltage the cable puts on the micro USB port. I've had phones and tablets where the micro USB connector has

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Nothing here
