Interesting thought, and that would have been an interesting test. There's going to be much less force involved in a case falling off a table (probably onto a surface that's softer than concrete) vs. somebody literally throwing the case at a concrete floor doing what he calls a "smash test."...

Yes, I did see that part of the video. I guess maybe the instructions for the case should include "do not hold the case above your head and throw it at a hard concrete floor like a goddamn gorilla."

I said I would be shocked. Meaning that I didn't actually know. I didn't DECLARE that your cases were made at the same factory, which I would have obviously done if I had known. Kind of the opposite, really. If I was wrong, then fine, I'm shocked, I'm wrong, life goes on. So no, I didn't...

Welcome to this century. Many products are made in the same factories and are essentially the same things, with minor variations, and branded according to whoever is reselling them. Vacuum cleaners... earbuds... carry-on luggage... And pool cue cases. I have been to pool supply stores, and...

So wait, you're fully aware that you had convinced me that I was wrong, that the case is not comparable to cases in the price range that I had claimed, and that I amended my original review to say as much. And yet, you go and film a 1.5 hour long YouTube video saying (multiple times) "he still...

WTF are you talking about? Is there something going wrong with your browser, or your brain, that you can't see the text at the end of the review that's clear as day? ** There are cases in that price range that have full-length internal padding, so if you spend more, you can get a better case...

LOL. I'm at minute ~5:30 of this and you're complaining that in my post, "what he doesn't tell you is that only the top few inches are padded," and yet you're zoomed in on the part of my post where I say exactly that. I don't get the impression that you're a stupid person, or a careless person...

I explained that I subconsciously ignored the filtering UI because it looked like it was greyed out to me. That's something you could easily change/improve rather than blaming me for not using it. Now that I'm looking at the page again, I noticed something else. I click on "View all cases for...

Sure, it's easy, if you already know how to do it. Whatever. Blame your users. I don't care. The best I can do is tell you that it's self-defeating, which I've done. Twice, I think.

What you're saying doesn't make any mathematical sense. Okay, SOME people are figuring out the web site and placing orders. That's not proof (or even evidence) that it's a good web site. Maybe there are a billion other people who don't figure out the web site and don't place orders. Without...

You seem to be frustrated that people aren't e.g. reading all the text you put on your site or e.g. watching all the videos you make but I think you're vastly overestimating the amount of time and motivation people have in their lives to read text and watch videos. If you're making a new web...

Yes, that was many posts ago. You posted a long reply to that explaining that there could be damage and I thanked you for the insightful and informative post that gave me a lot to think about. Do you remember THAT exchange? You seem very focused on continuing to argue points that have already...

There's been a failure to communicate here. I said very clearly in my last post that I would like to know if they're being damaged. Meaning that I don't know. I didn't make any claims myself and I didn't say anything about anything you've said or claimed. And moreover, I want to know about...

Of course you can. You can display the text in a location, and at a time, where users will be receptive to reading it based on what they're trying to accomplish with the site. If somebody clicks on "Cases for sale" that means they want to see a list of cases for sale, not read a wall of text...

If I was reviewing a product in a professional capacity, then sure. Again, I think you've lost perspective on what happened here. Reviewing cases is not my job, "as an engineer" or otherwise. I just re-read my original review and saw that I couched the price range with the phrase "from what...
