Any thoughts?

Interesting. Like its immediate competitors quite expensive for what it gives; but it gives it in a very light and convenient form which will justify the cost to many.

They mention 'patented' - I wonder to what aspect that refers? I did an admittingly brief search on the Internet and only found US9359040 assigned to Securience and attributed to Don J. Muehlbauer , which seemed closely relevant to method of power transmission?

Interesting - I wonder if the Skarper will go the same way - ie not reach the 'market'?
