Yes, I'd recommend this product.
Changing phone has been much easier than expected. New phone seems to work pretty much the same way the old (very old) one did and virtually everything has transferred from the old phone to the new one.

Misleading description. It says it has screen protector. It does not. What I understand when I read that is that there is a full cover.
Essential Armor Case - Great quality for the price.

Yes, I'd recommend this product.
Got it on sale for 20 bucks which is really good for a UAG case as they are pricey lol no complaints seems like a nice case more on the flexible but still firm side so if you’re wanted rigid this isn’t it. Overall I’m satisfied with purchase
I love UAG

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you want a reliable camera, there are much better options than this one. The pros of this camera are the picture quality is pretty good, it can be mounted on the wall or sitting on a shelf, and you can disable it when you are home so a lid flips over the lense and covers the camera. Now on to the cons....the reliability is completely lacking. When it decides to work, the live feed is incredibly laggy. Its not a connectivity issue because it is located directly next to my wifi router. More than half the time it will not even connect to live view and just keep saying it is loading. Another issue i ran into is after I had been using it for a few days, it needed a software update which should normally be no big deal....WRONG. Due to needing a software update, it shut down the camera and would not let me use it until it updated. Well i tried to update it which kept resulting in failure to update notifications. So after multiple attempts to update, reset the device, unplug the device, ect...i ended up having to delete the device from my account and try to reconnect it. That still did not solve the problem and at that point i gave up. I left it plugged in sitting there as just a paper weight and tried multiple times everyday to try to get it to update so i could use it with no luck. Finally a week later of daily attempts it decided it would do the update. Since then its been "working." Which i wouldnt consider properly working because i get movement notifications but it will never actually let me view the camera. Its just a never ending loading screen. This camera had a great potential and maybe i just got a lemon but i definitely do not reccomend it. I have other security camera brands and i have never had a headache with them like i have with this one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This indoor camera has some great features. It was easy to set up as well. I wish there was a way to turn off notifications for while you are at home but still have the activity recorded and have notifications sent when you are away. Maybe this is complicated and confusing and there's reasonings to why we would like all these things to work.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The camera had excellent quality pics for both night vision and when there was light in the room. It's very easy to install. The camera is small which is also great! The only thing that I was disappointed in was having to pay for a membership but at the same time I understand why. It was relatively inexpensive for the membership.
