It?s possible they?d last longer if we weren?t all working from home, but even so, they don?t see wear and tear outside and I?m not rough on them so I would have liked to see their comfort last longer. I have no issues with using my touch screen through the plastic. I returned it thinking maybe this one was defective. Ich habe mich auch da, für ein Modell von Sony entschieden und kann diesen Cardreader auf Grund der Qualität und Zuverlässigkeit sehr empfehlen. Each hook we used popped off. After some troubleshooting not fixing it, they quickly mailed out a replacement set. I may have to get a bigger size. There is no button for it on the back & only very few stones have come off but nothing out of the ordinary. Unfortunately, we are past the original return date so we are stuck with an unusable product. Watching videos is acceptable, there is a slight delay and its barely noticeable, doesnt bother me at all.
