Looks fantastic, but not easy to install

First of all, these neon strips (actually LED strips with a thick diffuser) look fantastic. You can hardly see the individual LEDs and they are very bright at full intensity. The colors are also very good and the length of the strips (40 cm) is perfect for my case. This is an old standard for 12V devices. So don't expect to be able to do things like ripple and rain effects, but static color suffices for me. The only downside is that they don't easily fit into your case. They don't have a built in magnet like most other bands, but some magnetic clips are included and are not well designed. The magnets are strong, but they are in a small area away from the tape mount, making it impossible to place them in my case (PSU, heatsink, and fan interfere). I don't understand why they didn't put the magnet right under the holder so we don't need extra space next to the strip. They also come with a double-sided tape, but while it sticks very well to the body, it doesn't stick to the rubber material of the strip at all. In addition, the underside of the strip is not flat but slightly curved (I believe they did this to make it easier to insert into the braces) so you cannot use that surface to straighten and hold the strips unless You are there with curly braces (you should use sides). With some effort I managed to solve this puzzle and they held up and looked more or less straight, but the whole process could have been a lot easier and more efficient with better designs, either for the strips themselves or for the braces. The bottom line is they look really amazing!

Pros
