Ballpark: Baseball in the American CityAn exhilarating, splendidly illustrated, entirely new look at the history of baseball: told through the stories of the vibrant and ever changing ballparks where the game was and is staged, by the Pulitzer Prize winning architectural critic.

An exhilarating, splendidly illustrated, entirely new look at the history of baseball: told through the stories of the vibrant and ever-changing ballparks where the game was and is staged, by the Pulitzer Prize-winning architectural critic. From the earliest corrals of the mid-1800s (Union Grounds in Brooklyn was a "saloon in the open air"), to the much mourned parks of the early 1900s (Detroit's Tiger Stadium, Cincinnati's Palace of the Fans), to the stadiums we fill today, Paul Goldberger makes clear the inextricable bond between the American city and America's favorite pastime. In the changing locations and architecture of our ballparks, Goldberger reveals the manifestations of a changing society: the earliest ballparks evoked the Victorian age in their accommodations--bleachers for the riffraff, grandstands for the middle-class; the "concrete donuts" of the 1950s and '60s made plain television's grip on the public's attention; and more recent ballparks, like Baltimore's Camden Yards, signal a new way forward for stadium design and for baseball's role in urban development. Throughout, Goldberger shows us the way in which baseball's history is concurrent with our cultural history: the rise of urban parks and public transportation; the development of new building materials and engineering and design skills. And how the site details and the requirements of the game--the diamond, the outfields, the walls, the grandstands--shaped our most beloved ballparks. A fascinating, exuberant ode to the Edens at the heart of our cities--where dreams are as limitless as the outfields.Binding Type: Hardcover

Really a nice product!
Style: 15W Charger, Style: 15W Charger
I wanted a nice magsafe charge/holder for my phone and I tried this one and so far, it's great.
Pros:
- It has a really nice-looking LED behind the magsafe holder which glows nicely, as you see in the pic.
- The plastic feels good, strong and (hopefully) not plastic that degrades and becomes brittle.
- The rubber bumpers which hold it in place under the mount against your display seem well-placed.
- It's fully adjustable between positions wherever you wish to mount it.
- You can mount your phone either above or to the side of the display on any corner which provides nice flexibility.
- I found it best on the upper right because on the left, the steering wheel obscures the phone and the two bottom corners aren't useful to me.
- The little knobs work well to hold it in place and tighten nicely.
Cons:
- The only problem is how the design has the cable visible and sticking out when it could have easily been designed to integrate into the little arm so it's hidden. As it is, the ugly, out of place and avoidable USB-C cable is visible which I don't like.
- You can rotate the holder to make the USB-C cable appear in front of the arm holder so it's less visible but it should have been avoided with a simple design modification and integrated USB cable for a more streamlined appearance.
In any case, this is a nice addition to my Model 3 Performance to hold my phone while I drive, out of the way while still charging.
Try one.

Amazing iphone mount for Model Y.
Color: Upgraded Version - Gray
I was pleasantly surprised at how this phone mount worked for my purpose. I am a care driver and drive a Tesla Model Y. This mount perfectly fit the screen and my iphone doesn't come off even when I hit a pothole.
The best part of this mount is the price. One cannot find anything cheaper than this.
As for the function, this mount really fits the bill. Thumbs up!

Decent MagSafe phone mount
This was just an average MagSafe. Build quality is ok. The material, especially the plastic parts, feel cheap. The design is nothing to brag about. It can be mounted anywhere along the edge of the screen. Although it's marketed as for the Telsa Model 3/Y, It can be used with any cars with a tablet that fit's the dimension. I actually had problems installing it because I have a screen protector on and the added thickness resulting it the mount barely being able to squeeze it.
Note the design prevents adjustments in certain mount positions as the end of the slider will run up against the lock nut. Magnetic strength is acceptable although I question the stability when the slider is at it's maximum extension with a phone mounted.
Overall, it's perfectly functional but I would prefer something a bit more refined and minimalist.
