Huh? What's up with that?

Even more disturbing, if you ask me, is the use of the velvety smooth plastic coating. The Inkpad is decked with it allover, the Forma has it, too.
I have some make-up/powder boxes that are coated with this stuff and after a while the plasticizers/emollients break down and the stuff gets gooey and sticky, till you can't touch it anymore.
This is built in obsolence of the finest kind and I hate it from the bottom of my hear!
Worst thing is one of the foremost German reviewers asks for the stuff and calls readers with a hard plastic shell "slippery" and "cheap feeling".
