    I agree, but reviewers and consumers are falling for it, so I’m just trying to point out how utterly stupid it is. So hopefully at some point no reviewer will praise the “luxury” feel of glass, and consumers will stop falling for it.

    The 13T did have a vegan leather option, but that’s not much better, and is also made to have a “luxury feel” but low durability. That’s just vulnerable to wear instead. I did consider the leather option, and then give it some sort of coating, but I decided against it, because I would probably just mess it up. That is why I include “durable” as a required feature of the synthetic material.

    I curse reviewers for failing to see the advantages when the Galaxy S2 came out with a synthetic back, that was superior in every way to the glass back of the iPhone. But many reviewers complained that it felt cheap, completely forgetting to mention it was way more drop proof, and it reduced the weight significantly. They friggin complained that the lower weight also felt cheap!!!

    Reviewers are sometimes morons, that should be kicked on the shin for their stupidity. 😋
