Technical Manifest
- OriginChina
- MaterialABS Plastic, Polyester fabric, Silicone, Lithium-ion battery[3]
- Warranty1 year limited warranty[1,2]
- Repairability1/10[7]
- "Score 1/10: Unit is sealed (glued or hidden clips) with no exposed fasteners. Battery is soldered to the PCB. Opening the device typically causes cosmetic or structural damage."
The Comparison Standard
Financial Verdict
"No user-serviceable parts. Requires charging and surface cleaning only."
