Let me start by saying this mount is a lifesaver for renters or anyone who hates drilling into their door. The no-drill design slid right into my doorframe (which has a 1.5-inch thickness) like it was made for it. Within minutes, my Nest Doorbell was locked in place with that satisfying *click*.

The anti-theft claim isn't just marketing fluff—the metal bracket hugs my door so tightly that I had to wiggle it to test if it'd budge (it didn't). Unlike my old flimsy mount, this one feels like a vault with its thick plastic casing and four screws. Though, fair warning: those included screws are laughably bad. I stripped two just assembling it before switching to hex sockets.

Here's where reality kicks in: charging is a chore. Every 2-3 months, I unscrew the casing like I'm defusing a bomb—except instead of wires, I'm wrestling with a micro-USB cable. A charging port cutout would've been genius.

The forced 15-degree tilt? Annoying but functional. My porch stairs were suddenly visible in the camera feed, which never happened with my flat-mounted original bracket. Thieves would need pliers and serious determination to pry this off—way harder than yanking a standard Nest off its wedge.

Final verdict? It's the best $30 insurance policy for your Nest Doorbell, but bring your own screws and accept some quirks.
