overall this is a great product. only issues i had were the size and the ‘screens’ sticker.
i have very small wrists so foam padding had to be added so it wasn't spinning around/ falling off. (process is easy just buy some foam and superglue or hot glue it on)
you might also need to superglue the screen on as it is a sticker, mine came with the sticker already off the pipboy and the adhesive was not sticky at all so i had to once again add more glue! so definitely add gorilla glue to ur cart when purchasing this item
i also suggest painting to make it look distressed if you're planning on using for a cosplay

Customer Review: It’s only worth half the money…

It's not about what it is, but what it could become
Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2022
This thing definitely needs some work. Tldr, there's a lot of room for improvement, and fortunately it has a lot of potential.When it got here, the hologram fell off, which is fine by me because I knew this thing would need some painting and I didn't feel comfortable trying to paint with it still on there. The plastic feels a little flimsy and is only painted in a few spots. It was a fair bit too big and will definitely need padding to fit my narrow wrist.All that said, I think spirit's designers made it with the idea of people doing their own modifications in mind. I've seen others paint the shell so that shouldn't be too hard.The padding will likely be cushion foam cut to shape and covered in felt.And the part I'm really excited about is that the space for the screen is 8cm by 10cm, and there exists green Electroluminescent panels which can be cut to shape. A light-up screen could be very simple to make.In all, I am cautiously optimistic about this prop. I might post update pics as I go along.

It's a cheap Pip-Boy but $30 and you can own your own Pip-Boy! I wanted the one that holds your phone but it's too expensive so I got this to go with my vault suit and you need some padding to keep it from falling off your arm. It came in really early the next day and so far I think it's cool.
Pros:
It's a Pip-Boy for a cheap Price so you can't really complain.
Fast shipping
Comes in a cool box perfect for a shelf to collect
Cons:
It's cheap so expect something that's light and might break easily
It's too big to fit your arm so you need padding to keep it from falling off
You can't move anything it's a prop so nothing moves on it
The latch is a bit hard to open so it might break
Over all I think it's worth the price and it's cool enough to have. If it breaks you can patch it up with tape and make it look like it's seen some wear and tear from the wasteland. 7/10

Pretty accurate cast and great for the money

Can't complain much for $30. It looks good out of the box if a bit plasticy like the Fallout 4 edition was but with a repaint and some electronics (there's a big cavity that can be utilized when the face is taken off) it can really shine and definitely be the cheapest and easiest way to have a good looking Pip-Boy.

First and foremost, I am a woman and 5'2, so I'm pretty small. The Pipboy itself did not fit at all, it went up to my elbow before it could stay still whenever I moved. But this is 25 bucks so they're making it for the masses, not specifically for my size.
That being said my brother and I got to work. We found some old bedsheets in my basement, measured the actual Pipboy, and went to work cutting out sections of the sheets, hot-gluing it to the inside of the Pipboy, and then stuffing it with more sheets. More or less the two of us created cushions within it so A. It would fit me and B. It was more comfortable.
What I'm trying to get at with this review is this is by no means a perfect, ideal Pipboy, but it's also 25 bucks. However, it was not difficult for us to make it fit, and personalize it. If you are not willing to put in the time to adjust some of the aspects of this Pipboy, go look for a more expensive, personalized one. However, if you are like me and see these challenges as fun, then this is something that I would suggest, with the understanding that it is one size fits some, and you will have to do some work to make it perfect for you.
A little big, but altercations can be made.

I'm cosplaying this year as Sole Survivor from Fallout 4. I had already blown over $130 on a costume, so buying a Pipboy for more money off of somewhere like Etsy just didn't make sense, so I turned to this one of Amazon, and it was not a bad decision.Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2020

The details of the pip boy are very accurate. The screen has that sticker that flickers/changes when you look at it from a different angle. It opens up just like a real pip boy. The buttons obviously don’t work. They are just for looks.
Based on the reviews I was expecting it to be really big and loose, since a lot of reviews said it was too big for. I do admit it’s slightly big, as in, I had to put one of my socks inside the pipboy to give it a little extra snuggly feeling. Otherwise it would rotate around my wrist a bit. But nothing drastic. Just occasionally would rotate instead of being on place.
It’s very light. Doesn’t weigh you down or make it uncomfortable to wear for too long.
Exactly what I expected. Happy customer!

For the price I paid, I feel like I got a good deal. The material is nice and sturdy. Feels like hard plastic? Not fragile is what I’m trying to say.Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2021
