Just a word of advice to those thinking of buying mobile/cell phone accessories at Best Buy. If you are thinking of buying something like that there, make sure to check online, such as eBay.
I wanted a nice case for my new Android phone, and decided to see what they had at Best Buy. I found what I was looking for for $25.00.
Then I went home and searched for the same thing on eBay, and found it for about $5.65, including shipping. I saw it going for a lot less, too. I ordered it and got it, and am very happy with it.
So you might save a lot of money on things like this checking on eBay.
There's something similar for USB wall plugs, that let you plug USB devices into the wall for charging. I see these at Walmarts and such places for $10.00 to $20.00. But I ordered one online for $1, which actually included shipping.

Merry christmas !!
I notice that you looked in a physical store first to find what you wanted. Perhaps you had help from a salesperson, perhaps not. When all the physical stores have closed, possibilities for seeing and touching and comparing before you buy will also disappear. Warehouses don't need salespeople, so there will be fewer jobs, too.
Thanks, Hot!
PJ: Well, for one thing, the physical stores will probably soon be gone for some things, such as, say, the latest Miley Cyrus single. Things you don't need to touch and compare.
I would count the USB wall plug as something I don't need to touch.
I was at Best Buy today, and saw one of these on sale for $30.00. That's, what, a 3000% difference compared to the $1 usb plug I got? And that one was new too.
There's another difference with buying online vs in a store, and I'll get into that in my planned "part 2" Best Buy post, which will go on later today.
Clothing... now that's something I'd never think of getting online. Many do, though.
