Ghostek Atomic 3 Waterproof Shockproof Underwater Case Cover For Galaxy S8 Plus

Great case let down by cheap lanyard
This case provides excellent protection, and can be immersed in water even when empty, and came with a lanyard to hopefully prevent falls rather than just try to make them more survivable.
However, the cheap lanyard has no adjustment mechanism, so if you drop your phone, you have to just hope that the lanyard doesn't slip off your hand, and the aluminum hole in the case through which the lanyard passes must be a bit sharp, since the lanyard broke right at the point where it attaches to the case only a couple of days after I started using it.
Ideally, a case advertised as having this level of protection would also protect the screen better. The screen protector is thick and tough, but put it in your pocket as-is, and expect some inadvertent screen input. Better to have a spring loaded hard screen cover that will snap shut if the phone is dropped.

Solid but a little rough.
This item will hold an object in position quite effectively, though in movement it is a little rough and it goes from tight to loose quickly, and it is a little difficult to achieve an intermediate tightness where the object can be moved but will stay put if not being pushed.
However, for a mount at this price point, it serves admirably to hold an object in any one position.

Almost perfect
This keyboard is compact, light, and has lots of good features, like a touchpad, backlighting, a lithium ion rechargeable battery built in, and a USB dongle for those PCs without Bluetooth.
However, it falls a little short of perfection. Yes, it has a backlight, but when you want to touch-type while wearing a non-passthrough VR headset, its rectangular grid button pattern, tiny keys and the lack of identifying pips on important keys make that far more difficult than necessary, nigh on impossible. . It's made for hunt and peck typists, not touch typists.
Yes, it has a trackpad, but it's so small that it's hard to use, and it also has issues with being unresponsive on occasion.
It's great for typing texts and for hooking up to a smart tv, but not for typing anything of any great length.
