THE GOOD: Very easy to install! Fits the google home mini perfectly. The included short cable makes it easy, no wrapping up your existing cord like in other designs. Also frees up your original power cord for plugging in other places.
The nice thing is that it fits really snug in the outlet and is designed to be in the top receptacle allowing the other receptacle on the outlet to be free to plug other things in.
THE BAD: None. It really is a great design all around.
OVERALL: If I had more than one Google Home Mini I would buy this case for each one. Highly recommend!!
in my particular situation due to the neutral wider slot, I have to put the dot genie on the bottom outlet which then covers the whole top outlet. that's not a problem for me as I have a ton of outlets in my kitchen, just something to consider.
i do not have that issue with the "nest mini backpack 2nd gen 2019" product that is similar to this that i got for my nest mini's 2nd gen
that doesn't bother me at all though and i still really like this product, i'd say if you can sacrifice a whole outlet then this is an awesome product. on a side note it makes everything look clean so you probably wouldn't want anything plugged into the same outlet anyways
The setup is very easy, the Mini is held securely once you hear the click, and colors match pretty closely (white is spot on to Google's Chalk, but black is a tad darker than Google's Charcoal).
Regarding negative comments about the included cable, it could stand to be even 2mm longer. But I found the cable fits perfectly if you (1) snap the Mini into the Back Pack, (2) connect the micro-usb end of the cable to the Mini, then (3) connect the USB-A end of the cable to the power adapter and press straight down. Connecting in this order reduces having to stretch or strain the cable or insert at an odd angle.
The only two negatives are the packaging is so cheap looking and it's a little bulkier than I expected. It is about $5 too expensive, but still the most elegant solution I've seen so far.
Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2019
At first, I had trouble snapping the home in but I just wasn't doing it right, I pushed hard enough where the clips are and I heard the click. Plugging the cable in was a bit finicky too but after a bit of bending, I got it plugged in. The mount is very solid and sturdy, no sagging or droop at all. The mount might interfere with whatever you have plugged in the bottom outlet. I had a power strip plugged in and the mount wouldn't fit, after switching to a different strip, it all fit fine. All the touch controls are easily accessible although where I am using it, I won't need to use them much.
The price was excellent, especially since it comes with its own power supply. If you are looking for a mount that looks clean and minimal then I would highly recommend this one.

chome mum withe bathroom for radio and news etc. You can easily plug in a hairdryer or other small appliances in the outlet underneath. Note: We have a Very small slim nightlight but were unable to secure it safely under the speaker. We did purchase cafree standing light. Only a regular plug will have room for clearance under this unit so I'm noting that for others.
Works great, no problems installing and very sturdy.
