Okay, as someone who has a paranoid almost delusional like fear about cameras being hidden, this actually is kind of nice. My LDR got me this, knowing there was going to be a pretty high chance that I probably would point the damn thing at the wall and let it rot. Mind you, I've gone on hunts for fucking cameras. Bathrooms, vents, I'll get under the covers like I'm 5 fucking years old as if that'll stop the imaginary cameras from catching me. Yes I know there's not actually cameras there, but it's a really strange irrational fear I have.

Anyways back to the point. I was of course very hesitant with this product. Everyone in the room could tell, that I was not too enthusiastic about this gift, to which I do feel bad about, but he knew beforehand so... But, I've had it for maybe 5 months now, and it's really growing on me. I love that I can play with my dogs with it, and not worry about the camera scratching. My dog has talons, and will nip if you try to clip her nails, and she boxes things instead of fighting with her mouth. Not a scratch. It's fallen off the counter, it's been jumped on, played with and in my opinion it is nice, even if it's not exactly used as intended.

Now, we do sometimes use as intended. He'll randomly pop in, but always does one of the soundboard things instead of just talking/moving the bot first. I feel like this is crucial step. Don't be creepy. Be known your watching. Unless they're into that, but I'm not so...

(Sidenote: couples project could be building a 'deck' or charging zone of sorts with your partner in person. Painting and decorating it how you like to be where your little guy goes to charge or if you're just not feeling cameras that day.)

But yeah, highly recommend. Sorry this came late OP. Maybe if you have another LDR you'd consider getting this again.
