I ordered one the last time they came in stock just for a rainy day. It's still in the box, untouched aside from opening to take a look. Real nice packaging. Haven't found a direct need for it yet but I am sure the time will come.

I'm like you, but mine has come out of the box. I've turned my TV on and off a few times, and test scanned a handful of my Amiibo. A fun toy, but still waiting for the use case that has me playing with it more often.

Killer usecase for me: it replaced all my remotes - including for AC, windows shades and garage doors.

Kinda the same. I opened it and loaded one of the jailbroken OSs but haven't had much use for it.
