Matcha has two cracks - Page 2

Coloured plastic tends to be of lower quality compared to black. It's a well known fact when buying cameras and lenses that it's better to go with black. Nothing serious, but paint comes off, and coloured plastic is easier to scratch. Cameras tend to retain value well, so the difference in coloured and black isn't insignificant.

For what it may be worth, my chrome cameras showed wear a lot slower than my black cameras. The chrome plating is a lot tougher than black paint.

I'm talking about plastics.

One thing I have noticed about Kindle cases is they are very hard to take off. I have always been afraid of breaking my Kindle removing the case. So I don’t take the case off once it is on. I can pop my Nooks in and out of the cases very easily, but not Kindle. When my arthritis in my hands is acting up and I want a light reader, I always switch to my Nook GL4 without the case. It’s feather light.

The Kindle cases are very protective but way too hard to get off IMHO.

I've replaced 2 Finte cases on my 2023 iPad (I know; not related here). But the cases keep breaking on the spine. I do fold them all the way back while using. But my previous brand never broke. So I have some agreement with disputing Finte quality.

I never took the iPad out of the case until recently (over heating from many videos); the cracking of the case was before that. No damages to the iPad (but it's more metal).

That's what happened to my Finte case and my Kobo case for my Libra 2.

Wherever the trash goes when it leaves home.

Just received my replacement “like-new” kindle and it has scratches, scuffs and a dark mark on the back. On with customer service right now

I’m more upset that my kindle didn’t last two months, let alone worrying about the cover
