Well, smart phones and tablets are designed to slip out of your hands with the default slick casing. No backlash. 😽 I've seen a lot of tablets being marketed towards kids. I don't believe in coincidences. It's the same thing when they realized they'd make more money if they designed things to not last as long versus designing a long lasting product.
There's only a handful of markets where consumers are smart enough to force a company to change a policy or product.
