User Reviews about CIPA 49302 3 3 4" HotSpots Round Stick-On Convex Mirror

I have two complaints about this product. The first may be a fluke, but the something is something you should be aware of before you buy this.

Issue 1) Arrived scratched, because of no protective coating. The mirror arrived in a blister pack, which is fine, but had a lot of abrassion scratches on the front of it, which is not. It isn't bad enough to warrant the hassle of a return, for a product this cheap, but I am certainly disappointed. Since I only bought one, I don't know if this scratching is a trend, but I kind of suspect that it is becaus of the lack of a protective film.

Issue 2) Objects in mirror are MUCH closer than they appear. It makes things look tiny. This may be fine if you are using this to see cars, but to see people coming from behind you in an office environmnet, it is largely ineffective.


Though I usually am a big fan of buying online, from Amazon.com, this item might be better purchased in a brick and mortar store, so you can see how it will look, and ensure it isn't scratched. -- Arrived scratched and makes objects much smaller than they are.

Seriously, this is a mirror so there isn't much to say. While it does have a stick on back I have it in my cubile using 4 push pins to hold it to the cubicle wall this way it can easily be moved since at my place of work we move cubicles every 3-5 months. Nobody can sneak up and scare the *edit* out of me anymore.... good times. -- This thing mirrors like nobodys business.

I don't see any flaws in this product -- it works exactly as expected. I like it and use it frequently.

My office is long and narrow and as a result the door is about 15 feet behind me. As a result, the people in the mirror are a little small. They are still recognizable, but the convex shape of the mirror makes me have to squint a little.

Also, I couldn't find a perfect place to stick it -- the rim on my monitor is too thin, so it would block part of the screen. I place it close to the surface of my desk, but I have to tilt it to be able to see the door -- hence I can't use the adhesive on the back.

For comparison, the mirror is about the size of the palm of my hand. -- Works as expected

Mirror is excellent for purpose. The back has sticky tape that will stick to anything. It gives a clear wide angle view over my shoulder in the office. -- Excellent mirror
