I feel like this goes without saying, but some seem bothered by comments like this. So - this is only my personal opinion.

Maybe some of us do have very high standards. If someone is charging over $50 for a case, I think it’s fair to expect high standards. If you put “perfection” on your packaging, you’re asking for it even more.

Look, I’ve said it before and will say it again. If Spigen can have consistent production on a sub-$20 case, Caudabe and others absolutely can for over $50. Same goes for Apple. I will not accept a product from them that I can visually see a defect on with my naked eye. You can’t charge premium prices and then expect a pass on things like that, in my opinion.

It’s not the end of the world. I totally get that mass produced items will not ever be spotless. However, you can choose tolerances in manufacturing. It’s a cost approach. I expect tighter tolerances for premium items that are priced higher.
Well said. I agree 100%.

100%. In my experience, those MR members who point out flaws in products are also the same people who give praise when the manufacturers get it right. We don’t need to go out of our way to defend manufacturers in an independent forum like this—they have their own channels for promoting their products.
