Instead of sending them out free of charge to YT reviewers they should concentrate on fulfilling paid orders.

The case is on pre-order now because they haven’t got any stock.

Did you ever cancel your order or just waiting it out?

I have the graphite. I mostly lay my phone face down, so the scratches have been minimal so far. The finish is delicate for sure though.

Tungsten carbide finishes are used in jewelry making and are quite scratch resistant. It would definitely be more scratch resistant than the polished aluminum finish.

I have a matte black on order - they’re finally available from Amazon. Supposedly that finish is more resistant to scratches, we’ll see. I’m getting it mainly because I think it will look good on the black phone.


The snake designs look very nice.


I’ve never had any luck selling a set of cases, so I’ll be surprised if these sell. No big deal either way. 😊

Matte black was my first Arc for 14PM. It’s definitely more scratch resistant. I only mentioned after months of usage “polished” corners 😄.

Rose Bronze seems to be more scratch resistant than Graphite for me, I don’t know how it’s possible.

The thing is Tee most of us in here spend our hard earned money on cases so giveaway or no giveaway it doesn’t matter to us lol.

I respect you and always will. Most of us on here have been part of your YT journey and supported you with our views and likes.

If we ever needed any help or guidance always counted on you by tagging you in here etc.

I don’t have an issue with you and you are more than welcome to come back to the discord whenever you feel. That goes for anyone in here because nobody is banned. I’m going to break all this down on my live stream tonight.

I’m more pissed that it was stated that I don’t care about my audience when you name me a creator that does giveaways where the winner does nothing. Not pay for shipping or anything and any given time because I’ll wait for someone to name one. Not some brand sponsored giveaway either.

I really want to highlight how bad of a comment that was.

It’s probably because graphite is darker?

Yeah, no kidding. This brings up something I’ve been meaning to address for a while now. Reviewers who receive free products from manufacturers (which are nearly all of them) are inherently biased because the nature of the relationship creates an unavoidable conflict of interest. Even if they make an effort to remain objective, the act of receiving free products creates a sense of obligation—conscious or subconscious—to speak favorably about the item to maintain a positive relationship with the company (they have to keep that stream of free products flowing). Negative reviews can jeopardize future opportunities for early access, exclusive partnerships, or additional free merchandise. This type of bias is absolutely unavoidable, despite claims to the contrary, and whether or not the person is aware of it. The only way to truly avoid bias is to purchase 100% of the products under review with their own money—something rarely seen these days.

Negative. I’ve trashed a case before when they sent it to me. You have some companies that will not want to send you anything if you give them negative reviews but majority of the companies like the feedback. This is a phone case not a smartphone. If a brand wants to cancel me out because of a negative review then I’ll just go buy it.

If a reviewer wants to be truly and consistently unbiased, they have to break all financial ties with the industry they’re working within. This is pretty much undeniable and supported by science. Anything other than that places a person in the category of “influencer” in my opinion.

Well that’s your opinion but I’m not going to sit here and recommend a case if it’s bad because they sent it to me. This is a bad thought process that’s always being said. What’s the point if you aren’t going to be 100% with your audience? I wouldn’t have the following nor year after year wouldn’t have a major influence on the brands making improvements without feedback and recommendations.

My last best leather case video, who did I say was the best leather case? I flew out to Andar months ago and I told them to their face that Bullstrap leather cases were better and I told them the reasons why.

That’s no lie and I put that on anything.

And do some of you realize how long I bought my own cases before I started getting send any of these cases? It was yearsssssss before companies started to really send me stuff and my same comments I complain back then are the same I complain about now. If I wasn’t honest 100% in my videos then I wouldn’t be where I am. My channel has grown based off my honesty. There are no overwhelming amount of comments with people not thinking im being truthful. I don’t get down like that and never will. People who aren’t creators never will understand how you build an audience off loyalty. I’ve NEVER said something positive about an accessory that was sent to me. But no matter how much I say you guys are going to think otherwise. The only crowd where I hear this nonstop from.

Okay, so. Please… can we not start some arguments between Tee and the MR community? I love to see pictures of cases, not arguments between Tee and the others here.

Tee, let me be clear: I have nothing against you. Same goes for this community. But I want to go ontopic about cases. I feel a strange tension in this topic and it really is far from ideal.

On the other hand: my Ghost 2.0 is coming soon. Just paid the 18 EUR on duties today…

It’s done. I’ve been on Macrumors for so many years and all I try to do is provide content for the people when it comes to cases. I’ve been called out too much for bogus claims and I’m good on it all.

Deleting account and it’s been real ✌🏽
