OK. Right off the bat, this is NOT a daytime-use projector. 100 lumens gets you about as much in the day as a flashlight intended for the use of illuminating the sun. It just does not work in the presence of light (maybe a darkened room… with a bit of light…maybe). Just so you know, I take my freedom seriously. I like to have fun in different environments and indoor movies/gaming are traditions I can not abide.
In a darkened room this beautiful piece of simply phenomenal conception is amazing. I am so fond of it that tears come to my eyes when I think of leaving it behind. It is so small, yet the resolution is fantastic. I get amazing resolution at 200 inches (screen size) and surprising versatility for a projector. Suck it Samsung (your TVs are bulky, expensive and strain my eyes).
Furthermore, the Nebula Capsule (by Anker) can connect to another device (my Bose SoundLink Revolve speaker, in my case) if you do not like the sound quality (not the same as Bose, but surely impressive with size and all other things considered, right?). Not enough? You can download the iPhone app and use that as a fully functional remote-control for the amazon, Netflix, etc. programs already installed on the projector. You won't know the pleasure and fascination until you have tried it!
I like to use this with my Nintendo Switch. With it's battery I can play games in parks (at night), on the roof (yes, I did this… at night), or anywhere dark where a wall or screen can be arranged (you may need either a very long extension cable or several of them – length/number depending on the distance to your nearest electric socket). I had to bring six three-foot extension cables (18 feet total) to the park next to my house to get this to work plus one adapter for the strange-looking socket at the bathroom there. The screen auto-adjusts to angled surfaces, so it does not matter if it's directed at, say, a slanted rooftop. It will adjust the screen and you will be watching happily (although earbuds are recommended if you have fussy neighbors, which was the reason I went to the park).
I saved the best for last: this thing is DURABLE! My dog knocked it down from a stand (about 1 foot high) on top of a table (about 3 feet high) and it hit a ceramic-tiled floor (total of about a 4-foot fall) in an area near the lens. Aside from a minor scratch, my Anker Nebula shook it off (along with my horror at such a drop) and functioned as if to say either "What are you looking at?" or "I think my stand may need a minor adjustment…" or both. It would be inaccurate to describe my reaction at this as mere profound amazement. So you understand what was happening, it was a dark, cold and quiet night; my Dog already spooked the living daylights out of me with his aberrant behavior and I was watching Silent Hill and Toy Story back-to-back. These products are not usually made to survive such falls, so don't be surprised when I say I seriously considered getting an exorcist for this thing. Naturally, my imagining a retort coming from an inanimate object (which was still playing the movie) may be partly responsible for that consideration.
In short: You won't need all the king's horses and all the king's men to put a Nebula Capsule back together again. By my experience, it probably won't break to begin with. This is just one experience mind you, and should not be taken as law!
In any case, thank you Anker. I use this to give my family eye-strain-free movie nights. It is easy to use with or without the iPhone app that comes with it, so even my young sisters can use it. The smiles on my sister's faces and fond memories of our family together during these movie nights are possible only thanks to you.
