Spikeball, I'm with you .... about the 'Buy American' thing. We have lost so much of our manufacturing over the past ---how many--- years. I think we, the American people, are our best chance to get it back. And, with our unemployment where it is, we all need to help.
Kudos to you.
You do know that the case you own and promote is made in Mexico right?
If one wants to have a case that is inexpensive and made in the USA then the two choices for anything remotely similar to what I make is Joe Porper and Guiseppe. Both of those brands are made in California. I can't vouch that the workforce is entirely American but the cases are certainly made on US soil. Neither of these two brands are close to our quality in my naturally biased opinion.
I don't really understand the need to comment on the "buy USA" thing in a review thread but since you did then at least be clear that the case you use and promote was not made in the USA.
I understand that some people want to try and buy things that were made in the USA. I don't agree with this stance for all the reasons I have outlined on here many times. Again, this subject is touchy and should be discussed elsewhere.
But I respect a person's choice to spend their money as they see fit to do so. I provide products with the highest degree of quality and protection that I can. Right now those products are made in China. I have produced products all over the world. Someday I might make cases in the USA, or on the South Pole. No matter where I make them they will be MY cases and made to MY specifications and they will be better than whatever the competition is putting out. At least I will always try to make them better than my competitors.
This thread is a review of how well I did. In my opinion I built the best version of this style of case that has ever been made. I believe that the reviews confirm it.
The issue of where it was made and the geopolitical/economic hot button issues surrounding that are something that needs to be debated somewhere else.
I do not appreciate interjections like this into threads about my products which have nothing whatsoever to do with the product itself. I don't interject my thoughts on the origins, originality, or perceived quality of the products you tout and sell into your threads so please have some respect and afford my products the same courtesy.
If I have something to say about any of those subjects then I will make a separate thread about it.
Thank you,
John Barton - Case Maker for Sterling Gaming.
