I'll put my 2 cents in.
To start, I was not invested in this fidget spinner fad. I decided to get one that I thought looked interesting by the way it functions, the orbiter.
When I received it I was decently underwhelmed. Smaller than I imagined it. Cheap packaging and a crappy bag as others mentioned. I bought the blue raspberry version.
I was surprised that the ball did not come off the side while spinning. I was worried at first that I'd be launching the ball straight into my computer screen but in the end it didn't.
I already mentioned the bag was shit but to reiterate, if I put the unit in the bag, closed it and dropped it in my pocket, the next time I'd check it would already be out of the bag.
Within a few days the unit had acquired scratches all around that effectively killed the blue coating to show the silver underneath. This is largely due to the bag being useless at protecting this $50 unit.
I played with it for 2 weeks. Keeping it on me and swinging the ball around when I had nothing else to do. Of course it's still relatively loud so I stopped using it at work.
I found that it lacked any satisfaction. Unlike a normal fidget spinner where you can improve your soon time, etc. This was just a simple arm movement that resulted in basically the same outcome minute after minute. I ended up buying a 1972 'silver' dollar that has a nice heft to it and a wonderful ring when flipped well. Much more satisfying and less noisy.
Did I mention it only cost me $1?
