Well, some people here doesn't appreciate the magnificent work made by hand of this and other artists. I love handmade products, it's artistic. What the most people love is a plastic or rubber thing made by automatic machinery that would cost 1¢ per piece and bought it for $30 to $40 bucks. This great case, is unique, it is handmade and artistic. I know the price is high, but it's a quite nice piece of artistic work.
