Customers like the appearance of the tablet accessory. They mention that it's beautiful, the design is well thought out, and the dock itself is nice.

Customers are mixed about the charging of the tablet accessory. Some mention that the charging dock is wonderful, making charging much easier.

Customers are mixed about the sturdiness of the tablet accessory. Some mention that it's sturdy, has a solid dock, and the hardware is pretty good. However, others say that it is not as robust as the Show, is fragile, and could break easily.

Great device -- But show mode doesn't equal show.

Great device -- But show mode doesn't equal show.
I already own a Fire 10" tablet, but I wasn't using it as often as thought I would. It was usually dead when I wanted to use it but didn't feel like keeping it constantly charged. Problem solved -- with several very neat extras. The PROs: It costs less than a Show, duh! It's a whole lot larger than a show. (Download the Alexa skill - Aquarium screensaver without sound. It is just BEAUTIFUL!.) You can have Alexa report the weather. You can have Alexa turn on the lights. You can have Alexa tell you the formula for the volume of a sphere. (Really cool!) The CONs: It doesn't make or give reminders. Ouch! That's disappointing. Although you can play music, the sound is even worse than the Dot. BIG BUT -- you can hide a nice Bose portable speaker behind the unit and it's beautiful. I just installed a Blink video camera security system -- AN AMAZON COMPANY. I can see the Front Door on my SHOW, but not on this Show MODE. At least not yet. That would have been nice. I'm being picky now, but look at the picture. The temperature runs just slightly into the time. A slight adjustment from the Amazon engineers will take care of that - soon. Altogether, 4 stars.
