Branching out from the general chastity thread about these Lockink Key Pod boxes so the conversation doesn't get lost.
So I bought this one: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dnoe3Xz
And it arrived today. I'll try and summarise my initial thoughts on it.
As previously mentioned getting setup on the app was a bit of a faff but some perseverance and you do get there, you need an SMS confirmation code etc, and all the personal details they ask for can be skipped over easily enough (by entering any old info)
The device itself is a nice little size, about right for a small padlock key. It's hardly going to stand up to a determined attempt to break it apart to get out, the locking mechanism is a piece of plastic with a hole in it, and a tiny metal pin goes into it to lock it. It is not very secure, pretty sure I could break it open with my bare hands.
Functionality of the box/app itself is a little disappointing.
The QIUI app paired with it easily enough, and once paired you get a simple "Unlock" button. This unlocks the device for 5 seconds and then auto re-locks it. You can push the cover back on with the pin in the locked position and it seems to re-engage so its then locked again. However this does mean if you don't open it during those 5 seconds, it re-locks.
The app has a couple of timer modes that initially look promising (random timer, manual timer, couple of others I didn't explore) but they do *not* send the timer to the box itself. All they do is disable the "Unlock" button in the app until the timer runs out; if you try and press Unlock before the timer runs out it just tells you to wait. When the timer runs out, nothing happens except you can press Unlock to get your 5 seconds window to get the key out again.
So sadly, the intended purpose for me as mostly using it as a self-bondage release looks pretty limited. It's not possible to just leave the box in reach and wait for it to be open to get your freedom; you'd need your phone too and press Unlock then be mobile enough to open the thing in 5 seconds, and all that assuming you don't just trivially force it open when you get bored.
Bit of a disappointment. I can see why it's £15 now. Wonder if anyone has any suggestions for a better toy?
