A limit on cheap looking red velvet and black velvet charging clutches??? Now I won’t have bags to match all of my velvet track suits…thanks alot Meh! Now I have a tough decision to make on which color to choose! … Of course I will have to pick black… so I can be the velvet fog like George Costanza…next time Meh can you have a purple one to choose from please??
Well my first reaction was meh. Don’t need or want. Then I realized my iPhone likes to die quickly…especially when I’m in NYC and using it to get me from point A to point B using the subway, buses or walking lol! The. I realized it could actually be useful, so I bought one.
@blaineg@Cythwulf It is a very “discreet” micro USB connector. You may need a magnifying glass to see the slot in the end of the mutant connector. I tried using it to charge another power bank and it works. I also saw the blue LED for the first time.
I did not notice it when I first looked at my new purse.
I will attempt to take a picture and put it in a reply.
Only ONE you NERDS!!! Finally something I can use to justify my addiction to this site to my wife and I can’t get one for her and each of my daughters?!?!?
My wife travels a LOT for work and will use this to store her cables AND charge her phone; all in one place!! What a great idea!! And for less than the cost of a Rum and Coke!! breathtaking-oblong-rum
And by “this” I mean stuff that, for some reason, my wife thinks is the greatest thing on earth.
The red one I ordered arrived today, and she loves it. It may be the single greatest thing I’ve ever given her. Possibly even including the wedding rings.
I need to you figure out what the secret sauce is, and sell more stuff that includes the magic ingredient!
This is why we can’t have nice things. Seriously, this is a big battery that you’re strapping your phone to, charging from it, all while wrapped in a blanket. Best case scenario is you’re adding some serious heat and wear to your phone. Worst case is one of the batteries explodes. But hey, if it adds style and convenience, who cares, right?
Was ready to pass on this deal until I saw it had a USB-C port. My friend and his wife came down during December and wanted to charge her phone in the car. All I had was a micro USB cord. Decided to buy this as a Christmas gift for her to make up for it. Don’t know if she would like black or red, but I figure red is fine (I work in a place where red is part of the uniform so I could use that as a scapegoat).
Okay, so I’m going through my email today, and I see an email confirmation that I bought this and I don’t quite remember it… and I look at the day I bought it and notice that it was when I was at our local Mexican restaurant and the bartender kept giving me tequila. So score one for drunk shopping!
“The power bank’s 2000mAh. Roughly one full charge, depending on the phone you have”
If anybody is curious on how to know how many times a battery pack will charge your device it’s simple
Divide the battery pack mAh by the phones battery mAh like the iPhoneX battery is 2,716mAh and battery pack is 2,000mAh comes out to 1.358so you’ll get about 1 & 1/4 charge so about 125% but only if you leave it alone while charging though.
If you continue to mess around on it the battery % will roughly stay the same or even drop although slowly but it won’t go up at all until the battery pack itself runs out
@OsamaBinLamaa: what @eslovick says minus the inefficiency of moving the power back out of the battery and into another device probably wack another 15-25% off the top IRL.
@OsamaBinLamaa This is probably the greatest math fail I’ve ever seen. While trying to lecture people on basic math like they are idiots. Turn that pointer around.
@ralphieeek 14 mths no purchases that’s $70, sooooo the first item you buy in 2019 it will cost you at least $70 shipping. Sounds like you’re renting a garage and you don’t have a car
@ralphieeek if you haven’t bought anything since 2017 then even if you were to find something you wanted to buy over the next year, would the $5 shipping for that item be all that painful compared to 14 + X months times $5 for VMP?
But thanks for subsidizing Meh. (I’m close to that mode myself)
@OsamaBinLamaa Well good news is you won’t forget to put it back, because the power bank is attached to the purse. Not so convenient for charging it up. But you won’t lose it.
That Lightning connector… no claims of it being Apple MFi certified. That means it is a crap shoot whether it will charge your phone for future OS upgrades, even if it does initially.

For four bucks, might as well.
@blaineg Great, now I want cake.
@cf1 Sorry, no cake, but I’ve got a gallon of ice cream. Though mine is carmel.
@blaineg That’ll do
Fun fact, the charger on this is a dual-sided lightning (apple)/micro-usb (android) plug with a USB-C adaptor (newer android).
@Cythwulf Nope, the one I just got is mutant, one-sided Lightning, with a USB-C adapter. No USB micro.
@blaineg one side is lightning, the other is micro-USB
@Cythwulf No it’s not a dual connector cable, mutant Lightning only.

@Cythwulf @hamjudo Well I’ll be a monkey’s uncle!
When you were saying “sided” I was picturing the dual ended cables I’ve had before, like this:
I wasn’t imagining this sort of thing.
Now I see why the cable is a one-sided mutant, it’s even more of a mutant than I thought.
My apologies.
We need more of this on meh. Something that’s so cheap that there is no logical reason NOT to buy it.
/giphy horders
/giphy macabre-lanky-taco
No purple? For that fact alone, meh.
What’s with the weird limit of one per person? I could really have used 3 of these…
Wasn’t Adrienne Vittadini a clutch left-footed field goal kicker for the Chargers?
I’d hate to be a buyer for Meh. It’s impossible to figure out what will end up being a big selling item here.
@Barney I think anything under $5 will be a winner.
@RiotDemon Only to the VMPs and Members. For the rest of us, paying $5 shipping for an item under $5 …
@rockblossom this is true. If the item lets you buy more than one, and it’s something useful, then maybe the $5 shipping wouldn’t be so bad.
Wow it’s not a pop socket I’m shocked socketed today!

@Kerig3 A Walken wizard, what have I missed?
@Kerig3
The Walken appeared in “Batman Returns” as Max Shreck ~ Selina Kyle’s (Catwoman) former employer.
@surfeit I think you meant to address your reply to @blaineg
@Kerig3 @blaineg Ummmmm… well…@blaineg knows now
@Kerig3 @surfeit Thanks, I guess it’s been too long since I’ve seen it.
these are actually pretty great for kindles

I really, really appreciate it when you guys sell femme stuff. In for a magnificent $4.
If they block RFID, what do they do to cellular radio? In for one just to keep the radiation away.
No USB C?
Must be my fault.
why did you stop us from listing this feature even though it actually had it. (specs updated thanks!)
My wife travels a LOT for work and will use this to store her cables AND charge her phone; all in one place!! What a great idea!! And for less than the cost of a Rum and Coke!! breathtaking-oblong-rum
Nope. If you carry this thing around in your hand, I guess that makes it a manual clutch. Don’t need one as my vehicle is an automatic.
Well done Meh! You need to sell more of this!
And by “this” I mean stuff that, for some reason, my wife thinks is the greatest thing on earth.
The red one I ordered arrived today, and she loves it. It may be the single greatest thing I’ve ever given her. Possibly even including the wedding rings.

@blaineg She was even willing to believe the $72 list price sticker!
I eventually did break down and tell her I paid four bucks for it, but that didn’t diminish her enthusiasm in the least.
Thanks for making me look like a hero.
@lseeber By the way, typing this with barfy girl up there was a real treat, thanks.
I had to shrink the window to get her out of sight!
@blaineg Sorry… didn’t realize we weren’t supposed to post gifs here.

This is nice but when will you be selling the Wild-$exy-Fonez?
Maybe I should get one of these to put my pearls in. You know, 'cause…
Oh fuck it.
Why can’t I buy 2?
@khigh second account. But you’ll pay shipping unless you also sign up as a member with that one as well.

Worth it for the bag alone.
Anyone confirm you can just take the useless power bank out?
“The power bank’s 2000mAh. Roughly one full charge, depending on the phone you have”

@OsamaBinLamaa
It comes out to .736, not 1.25.
@OsamaBinLamaa
No.

@OsamaBinLamaa This is probably the greatest math fail I’ve ever seen. While trying to lecture people on basic math like they are idiots. Turn that pointer around.
And yes you phone will charge while you use it …
For $4, why not? Worth it for the cable alone.
/giphy bared-toxic-scone
@Rueki I hope you didn’t buy it for the cable, it’s permanently attached.
Notice in the picture, that the phone is plugged into the clutch, yet not charging. Hmmm…

It came in my wife grabbed it and I haven’t seen it since.

Been a vip member for awhile… and I have not bought anything since 2017… maybe it’s time to cancel it…thoughts?

@katbyter Free socks? How did I miss that… meh.

@katbyter @ralphieeek Socks. What socks. I want socks. Unless I got them and forgot…don’t think so. I WANT SOCKS!
@katbyter @ralphieeek @smilingjack @bobthenormal they were mediocre grey socks. They were a free gift sometime before June 2016 because I never got any free socks.
They did end up sending them in some fukos.
These are great until it dies you take it out to charge it and forever forget to put it back
@OsamaBinLamaa Well good news is you won’t forget to put it back, because the power bank is attached to the purse. Not so convenient for charging it up. But you won’t lose it.
That Lightning connector… no claims of it being Apple MFi certified. That means it is a crap shoot whether it will charge your phone for future OS upgrades, even if it does initially.
@RedOak Definitely NOT Apple MFi certified, the Lightning connector is one-sided. Never seen that before.
Will this fit a 7 plus?
