Latercase - latercase.com ($10 off for next 24 hours) If you were an early adopter you will see the $10 refund in your inbox. I realize this is a long video, the aim was to cover everything surrounding the launch of Latercase. If you feel that something was not answered/missed please leave a comment below this post. Please watch the entire video before commenting there's a good chance your question is covered.
Not sure why any of this is hard to believe, its all pretty much straight forward information. He explained what he did and how, and based on anything having to do with launching of a product line, this all makes sense to me.
I'm a huge fan of the logo style seen on the Google Pixel cloth cases. It's simple and clean. I also want to say as a product engineer and designer myself, I completely understand the intentions of trying to make a video that is short and interesting to feature your product to the consumer. However, an issue that I have seen with even my own clients when helping them launch their products is that they sometimes assume that the end consumer is already aware of certain trends and manufacturing techniques used in their product field. But in reality, it appears this way to client because they are producing a product in that field, and they therefore have a greater and more detailed knowledge of that industry than the average person. It's a very easy mistake to make and most of the time it does not have this huge of an impact. But, I believe that how and the manner within which you have handled this controversy has been incredibly well done, fair, and clean, and I think that that shows a lot character and will definitely lead to an increase in brand value and consumer confidence in your products. I look forward to using your products on my device in the future and wish you the best of luck going forward.
Pitaka’s main advantage, in my point of view, is their built in metal plates for use with their line of magnetic car mounts and charging pads. This is something that’s hard to find in other thin cases. I wondered why none of their response videos mention this aspect. It’s the only reason for me that justifies the price of their cases.
yeah , it will work on their charging pads, not anybody elses since metal interferes with it. Smart marketing move by them, tf is that shit worth it for?
Watched the full thing, I honestly didn't care for any of this drama but saw all the comments constantly saying to address it and you pretty much touched on everything, surprised you actually put in so many screenshots of tweets that were coming at you pretty hard. Good on you for your approach to this Lew, you handled this well.

Lew. When your first video came out, I purchased a case for my iPhone, I had made purchases from your videos in the past and felt that you have earned my trust when you review something. After making the purchase I then became aware of the controversy surrounding things. I received my case and was pleased with my purchase. I will further say that watching you address things not only is impressive, it confirms that I have placed my trust and my hard earn dollars in a honest individual and a company I want to support. As I was writing this comment I got to the point in the video where you talk about the price reduction for the day and since I did purchase early I appreciate the refund. As for future versions. I agree with those that say a logo would be nice. Something on the inside panel, maybe a etch on the side of your logo or company name. Continue success!
Well done. No crazy, emotional, sensational "apology" like is so common on this platform these days. A simple, humble explanation instead. Thank you for that. For the box that the case comes in, maybe just try embossing the front of the box with your logo. No color needed. Just an idea.
Something doesn't make sense. It's one tool per case type, how comes latercase is selling more than 10 different case which require 10+ tools investment?
Happy holidays ! For the 3% reading this, i hope you become successful in everything you dream of and accomplish more than you had imagined. My dream is to become a successful African artist.
He “MUST” be that professional in a situation like this ‘cause it’s his work, he handled it very well but at the same time it’s what you gotta do to keep your company clear and keep selling. Peace✌🏻
I love the case and my god, you've stepped up the presentation beyond any case company I've bought from. I feel like something I have should be wearing the packaging.
This is how you handle things. I'm glad that when shit hit the fan you didn't do what the companies your criticize did - instead you gave us a mature and honest response.
When your are responding to almost everyone in Twitter to their questions and also make a video about it, then you know you are really passionate about creating the later cases. Really appreciate the efforts and also the later case.

As a fellow P4XL owner I appreciate that you started a whole case company just so we can have carbon weave cases. Thanks for the $10 discount, case ordered.
Lew, make a fibre cloth interior. This would protect the chassis from scratches, from the actual case, also it would remove/defend against dust particles.
This, please. This is why I love my Google fabric case and Dbrand's case. The microfiber interior material makes me feel comfortable that if somehow pocket sand gets in my case, it won't scratch up my glass back.
@@prathwik0 it's not the carbon fiber. It's the random pocket "sand". It could be anything. A small grain of metal in your pocket goes between the case and it scratched up the back glass. With a microfiber backing, it "traps" the sand in place, reducing the micro scratches. Carbon fiber is fairly slick. Tiny pocket sand can enter it and move around. That and dust will be trapped in the fiber backing.
Tom Lis I mean the dust collected underneath the phone when or if take out and put back in. The dust is kept there and the fibre cloth allows for smooth friction with minimal risk of scratching the surface.
This is the perfect representation of Entrepreneurship challenges especially when public perception is skewed by the majority of the market.... unfortunately. In this case (pun intended) branding is important to distinguish your product from the competition at a glance and also ensures that other individuals dont resell your product as theirs
Branding is not just a logo, it could be a miriad of things, in this case (pun intended) the branding was the "camera rim" and i can't take myself to justify this, i'm sorry, i like this channel's content but it its just not cool...
@@MarioCola He said it was 5 cents. Not .05 cents. So lets be accurate if we are going to criticize. But clearly that throwaway comment was just to emphasize how every little tiny thing costs money, so having it be minimal was a cost saving effort.
I received my Willy blue lattercase yesterday and absolutely love everything about it! My husband and I’s new all time favorite case brand I will be getting anytime I upgraded a phone!
mcoz747 So other companies and products shouldn’t be critiqued? Please get out. If a product is garbage and he shows and tells us it saves us the money. We shouldn’t have to just buy products because we think it looks or seems good. If you’re trying to sell a bad product then I hope you sure as hell don’t sell anything because that’s just being lazy and taking advantage. If you do work for a company then honestly you should get fired or demoted for not knowing your stuff.
so basically the case is different to pikachu cases or whatever they’re called... and so all this drama was for nothing. and a side note: even if lew was ripping of pikachu cases and pikachu felt as tho they wanted to take legal action, they should probably keep that a private matter. very unprofessional.
I still don't see how this is different. So what i get from this video is : if i "make" a "camaro" but use aluminum instead of fiberglass as a body that totally justyfies me to sell it! It's not a rip off! It feels different when you touch it ;) Does that sound right?
AndreaFromTokyo wow.... you’re actually.... dumb.... he made a case that’s similar in material, similar in design, but he made the tweaks to it to make it his own, and to make it perfect in his eyes. What you’re saying is as stupid as saying only one company is allowed to make a plain white tshirt, or only one company is allowed to make paper.
Does it really? He totally attempted to beat around the bush but the truth still came out as he said initially, the reason he did it at that time was because he was going to rip it off, and having that video up would be bad for his business.
@2D very true. This wouldn't have an issue if he just stated so at the very beginning instead giving a runaround, Lew will never be able to comeback from this because people know the kind of person he really is...

Lew, you tackled this phenomenally. You answered every question, and didn't hide from the legit criticisms that people had. The only thing that had concerned me from the first video was the cost, but you explained that really well. Can't be easy starting a new business. I just think people love to see anybody in a good place fail- to the point where if there is something that upsets them, they'll be more than happy to blow it up out of proportion. Anyway, awesome job once again. I look forward to your future content.

Lew - Just wanna say bruh... I appreciate your transparency on this whole process. I'm just now watching this video for the first time in July 2021. Also I just ordered my first LATERCASE for my Galaxy S21+. Looking forward to the experience and refinements you spoke of. I am a fan of THIN cases. Thanks so much man!
Lew, at the end of the day this is your case. Make it your case and make it how you want. if people like it, they will buy it. If people don't like it, they don't have to buy it. I can't speak for all of us viewers but I want to see this succeed and progress as a product and a company.
Word! my guy ive always felt you one of the real ones......given whatever it is i know of you from your channels and the content presented on them. So i just wanted to say how much i appreciate videos like this from a guy like you cuz ive never seen characteristics like the negative ones coming from those companies you referenced in this video...when i first seen that video of you presenting your cases i didnt get no feeling but of that of seeing a guy who enjoys the product and ideas from areas hes interested in decide to put his in and present something unique helpful and from his own liking....you could of went anyway with this video and i feel u did it the realist way possible....thank you for continuing to be one for the people the consumer and jzt being a fan of everything you present. I hope your new venture with this project brings you much success my guy 💯
Although you didn’t need to clarify I sincerely appreciate it. I’ve been watching for years and I can see the sincerity. Great work!!!! Also just ordered a case.
Thank you for making this video. I come from an injection molding background so I could really appreciate the discussion regarding the tools investment and ROI. For a small company, this can be a very risky up front cost. I would really enjoy a follow up video showing the mfg process someday. No matter what people may think at this point - I think this was a great response to the criticism you’ve faced. Even though I really enjoy minimalistic looking cases, I’d definitely love to see a logo or some subtle branding on the product moving forward. Keep it up and good luck with the brand!
I could saw the way you're commenting, that you didn't really pay attention the whole video. You just sort of dont give a shit and throw this shitty comment and whatever. That describe the lack of your empathy and kinda close minded. If you watch the whole video, he explains this very very nice until every detail. Also about Pewdiepie(excluded ninja), about his stats, he just do what he want / need to do without any other intention. Lets just say to be fair, majority people that actually understand and likes pewdiepie the way he is are great people such as : alot of big name of youtubers that try to help him, even many youtubers that didnt actually support him that still give him respect, elon musk, some celebrity. And majority people that hates pewdiepie unlogically is a garbage, example : mainstream traditional dirty media (like sjw, vox) that often make made up news, bad people such as trisha paytas, thot alinity, bad politician, and probably also YOU !
Case for my OnePlus 7 Pro just arrived...unboxing experience for a case, premium. Case itself, super premium. It makes the phone look, how the designer of the phone wanted it to look, slim, high end, tight....love it...well done chaps!
I watched their videos and seems like they were bitter. I've always enjoyed your videos just because it's fun and light hearted, products I've actually bought you have reviewed and thought I'm glad I bought it.
He explained how business worked like every entrepreneurship subject in university, i think he shud startvposting vidoes like this its quite educational and very useful for college students yk yk HAHAHAHAH
I don’t know why people hate iphone users. I was using OnePlus 5 from 2017 and I love the Oxygen OS. I like Openness(if its a word) of Android but i am comfortable with ios. Just that!
Bought it for my iPhone X and I love it! Thanks lew! Honestly great quality and the perfect texture. It’s also a way to support the channel and all the stuff that these guys are working on and it’s better than having a T-shirt with someone’s name on it.
ABD360G still not a real answer tho. He’s saying he removed it because it ain’t useful but there are other older videos that aren’t any generating any views and yet he’s not removing those lol what a prick.
Let’s be frank it’s because it’s a video that was being used by a now competitor as promotion and without his permission. I don’t blame him, would have done the same:
Lew, I'm sorry for all this mess that unfolded because of a simple case. Really wish you all the best and I'm sure that these cases are awesome. Maybe later I'll buy one
@@klidd6777 Not sure if you're joking or just ignorant, so I'll take it easy on ya. Rac-ism: Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. You see, Marco's joke highlights the plight of IP theft amongst Chinese companies. They steal designs. This is not a new thing. Them being Chinese doesn't really have anything to do with theft - well, other than the lackluster copyrights laws in China. Furthermore, Marco mentions nothing about his race's superiority. TL;DR - the joke's not racist; it's accurate as hell and in no way declares this person's race superior. You're ignorant and that's okay; hopefully you'll have learned something from this.
I dunno, maybe because he claim it's new idea while he DELETES THE VIDEO OF HIM REVIEWING THE EXACT THING Look i understand why he could use the design like for pixel because they doesn't have one for it, but why the fuck he delete the video?
If you actually have any knowledge of how Chinese companies operate, you'd under context instead of trying to virtual signal. The Chinese government mandates that any company wanting to do business in China must turn over all IP to the company which shares it with the government. They then distribute trade secrets to other companies in China. There have also been caught red handed hacking into American Defence contractor databases and stealing IP. Which is why much of their military tech resembles ours. Aside from that you don't have to look too far to find any type of counterfeit and knock off technology, apparel, and just about any type of product you can imagine on Chinese websites. It's adorable that you all felt the need to accuse me of being malicious and defending thieves. Bravo 👏🏼
I got mine today. I love the case and will definitely buy another when I get a new phone. I like that you answered the critics in an adult manner. The case is awesome. Thanks so much. I’ve always been a non-case guy. This case changed that. It’s great! Keep up the good work and I look forward to watching more of your unboxing videos.
That is done purposely. Many people do this when giving speeches to "defend" themselves. Like president Reagan's "adressing" speeches. Ted Kennedy's Chappaquiddick incident address. They make it very long and so boring that many people just stop listening and stop caring.
Im buying your case now! And here is why. I want to support you You seem a very genuine when talking to us the audience You are transparent You are honest and trustworthy I will continue to support you and share your content with the ones i know. Because you are great! Thank you!
I love the calm on your words... this is a great explanation to all “we” trolls that where talking nonsense; because of misunderstanding the hole thing; ohh boy you have proved to be a big MAN. An this is a testimony of why you are the biggest tech you-tuber. But please sell your case with your logo... I’ll pay premium for that.
Lew, appreciate a company that listens to their customers and that takes on conflict head on with truth and honesty. This video was a great way to show your desire to be what other companies are not, so great job sir. When it comes to branding I would say the most you can do without being annoying is great. So logo on box and inside the case for sure. Now that you know the competition and fake competition it's important to make sure people know what is yours and what isn't, so don't be shy with the branding.
Deepak Roundal Did you not listen to the part where the tool costs were $13k? Is he supposed to sell it for $12.01? Profit is a thing buddy. If you don’t like it you don’t have to buy it.
Literally every company does that, he explained how expensive it was to get the manufacturer, the materials, and the tools. He even said that when all the calculations are made, it’s around $25 per case, they sell at 45 for a $20 profit. That’s basic business strategy.

This is what I want to hear and so does everyone else too. You got my support.
This is the perfect representation of Entrepreneurship challenges especially when public perception is skewed by the majority of the market.... unfortunately.
In this case (pun intended) branding is important to distinguish your product from the competition at a glance and also ensures that other individuals dont resell your product as theirs
Well said
Yeah. Its a bummer that the masses are so easily manipulated and swayed. People are so stupidly reactionary these days its idiotic.
I get it but pointing out 5 cents per unit cost for that accessory looks bad when the product itself is priced so high..
Branding is not just a logo, it could be a miriad of things, in this case (pun intended) the branding was the "camera rim" and i can't take myself to justify this, i'm sorry, i like this channel's content but it its just not cool...
@@MarioCola He said it was 5 cents. Not .05 cents. So lets be accurate if we are going to criticize. But clearly that throwaway comment was just to emphasize how every little tiny thing costs money, so having it be minimal was a cost saving effort.
I BOUGHT THE CASE! I SUPPORT YOU BRO! KEEP DOING GREAT THINGS!
I received my Willy blue lattercase yesterday and absolutely love everything about it! My husband and I’s new all time favorite case brand I will be getting anytime I upgraded a phone!
Honestly this is how you act with integrity on social media & RUclips. So appriciated and so welcome! 🙏

Lew is finally feeling the heat and problems that other companies feel all the time.
I am waiting for the WillyDoo Special Case Version!
Hell yeah. I can speak to that as an ecommerce store owner.
Willllli doooo special OOOOOHHHH yeah
So true. I enjoy Lew’s videos, but now he knows the heat that he helps to bring to all of the companies he critiques.
Pretty sure its spelled Du
mcoz747 So other companies and products shouldn’t be critiqued? Please get out. If a product is garbage and he shows and tells us it saves us the money. We shouldn’t have to just buy products because we think it looks or seems good. If you’re trying to sell a bad product then I hope you sure as hell don’t sell anything because that’s just being lazy and taking advantage. If you do work for a company then honestly you should get fired or demoted for not knowing your stuff.
I'm loving the way you did this video my guy cleared up all the concerns. And good luck.
Just received my case for the note 20 ultra and I am blown away by the packaging and the case its self. Top notch 👌, great job. Keep up the good work
Of course it would ,it costs like buying a new phone
I've been using UAG phone cases for years! Just ordered a LaterCase to support you and your years of product experience. Keep up the amazing work Lew!
Aaron Lundsten I love UAG too. You can tell they put a lot of work into their cases. My later case is in the mail. Curious
Same, UAG is the bomb. Never have to think about if my phone is ok when I drop it. Interested in this case now as well
I swear by RhinoShield
I’d like the logo along the side!!! I think that’d be really cool
so basically the case is different to pikachu cases or whatever they’re called... and so all this drama was for nothing.
and a side note: even if lew was ripping of pikachu cases and pikachu felt as tho they wanted to take legal action, they should probably keep that a private matter. very unprofessional.
Pikachu😅😅
xd Ciaran no one steals from pikachu.
I still don't see how this is different.
So what i get from this video is : if i "make" a "camaro" but use aluminum instead of fiberglass as a body that totally justyfies me to sell it! It's not a rip off! It feels different when you touch it ;)
Does that sound right?
All they want was to drive tempory sales and fuel the outrage as much as possible, that guy should run an entertainment business instead
AndreaFromTokyo wow.... you’re actually.... dumb.... he made a case that’s similar in material, similar in design, but he made the tweaks to it to make it his own, and to make it perfect in his eyes. What you’re saying is as stupid as saying only one company is allowed to make a plain white tshirt, or only one company is allowed to make paper.
I can't believe that a phone case can cause so much controversy, and actually had to make 30 minute video about it.
@@the_good_vibez2z401 not to mention the sneaky phone giveaways and shit
I was most curious about the motivation behind the video take down. - Hearing the explanation. It makes sense.
Does it really? He totally attempted to beat around the bush but the truth still came out as he said initially, the reason he did it at that time was because he was going to rip it off, and having that video up would be bad for his business.
2D nothing is wrong with that. But because he was being all vague and suspicious made it all the more glaring to the public 😅
@2D very true. This wouldn't have an issue if he just stated so at the very beginning instead giving a runaround, Lew will never be able to comeback from this because people know the kind of person he really is...
Marion Hinzman He should be able to control who uses his content. It’s his.

Lew, you tackled this phenomenally. You answered every question, and didn't hide from the legit criticisms that people had. The only thing that had concerned me from the first video was the cost, but you explained that really well. Can't be easy starting a new business. I just think people love to see anybody in a good place fail- to the point where if there is something that upsets them, they'll be more than happy to blow it up out of proportion.
Anyway, awesome job once again. I look forward to your future content.

Also I just ordered my first LATERCASE for my Galaxy S21+. Looking forward to the experience and refinements you spoke of. I am a fan of THIN cases. Thanks so much man!

Did tesla review cars but then deleted all the old videos about cars when they made they own car?
so tesla used the exact same design? dumb
Ye but most of teslas are made of a aluminium body and steel is used in some other componenets
Lew, at the end of the day this is your case. Make it your case and make it how you want. if people like it, they will buy it. If people don't like it, they don't have to buy it. I can't speak for all of us viewers but I want to see this succeed and progress as a product and a company.
That's well said. Period.

Word! my guy ive always felt you one of the real ones......given whatever it is i know of you from your channels and the content presented on them. So i just wanted to say how much i appreciate videos like this from a guy like you cuz ive never seen characteristics like the negative ones coming from those companies you referenced in this video...when i first seen that video of you presenting your cases i didnt get no feeling but of that of seeing a guy who enjoys the product and ideas from areas hes interested in decide to put his in and present something unique helpful and from his own liking....you could of went anyway with this video and i feel u did it the realist way possible....thank you for continuing to be one for the people the consumer and jzt being a fan of everything you present. I hope your new venture with this project brings you much success my guy 💯
Although you didn’t need to clarify I sincerely appreciate it. I’ve been watching for years and I can see the sincerity. Great work!!!! Also just ordered a case.
It’s amazing how addicted to outrage we r as a society. Keep making ur phone cases Lew!!

Its deeply disturbing and scary how addicted to drama and outrage we've become.

Thank you for making this video. I come from an injection molding background so I could really appreciate the discussion regarding the tools investment and ROI. For a small company, this can be a very risky up front cost. I would really enjoy a follow up video showing the mfg process someday. No matter what people may think at this point - I think this was a great response to the criticism you’ve faced. Even though I really enjoy minimalistic looking cases, I’d definitely love to see a logo or some subtle branding on the product moving forward. Keep it up and good luck with the brand!
Just a recommendation, you could get a stamp with the later case logo, and just stamp the boxes for like 1 cent each
Exactly, this is what I was thinking too, and then he could sell it as merch. Even the unbox therapy logo would be sweet
This could very well be a case study for why is “differentiate” essential in marketing.
hahah *case* study
I see what you did there..
also, a case study for not presenting yourself as a "messiah" of creation if you're offering a re-hashed re-branded convenience to your fan base.

The craftsmanship looks premium, just ordered my case. 💪🏽
Zaul Camargo You could get the same case for $9 through Alibaba. This guy just orders it from there with the logo. He’s just faking it.

@li wu what do you mean by stats?
@li wu your not making any sense
I could saw the way you're commenting, that you didn't really pay attention the whole video. You just sort of dont give a shit and throw this shitty comment and whatever. That describe the lack of your empathy and kinda close minded. If you watch the whole video, he explains this very very nice until every detail. Also about Pewdiepie(excluded ninja), about his stats, he just do what he want / need to do without any other intention. Lets just say to be fair, majority people that actually understand and likes pewdiepie the way he is are great people such as : alot of big name of youtubers that try to help him, even many youtubers that didnt actually support him that still give him respect, elon musk, some celebrity. And majority people that hates pewdiepie unlogically is a garbage, example : mainstream traditional dirty media (like sjw, vox) that often make made up news, bad people such as trisha paytas, thot alinity, bad politician, and probably also YOU !
@li wu ???
Great. :)

Just bought one for my 11Pro. Believe in you. Peace !✌️
Nice, you not just wasted 50 on the latercase but also a grand on the worst smartphone from this year.
Sorry🙏 but I can afford to waste.
Imre Fodor I am not apple fanboy but the 11pro is nowhere near the worst phone. Probably in the top 3 best phones lol.
Congratulations you spent $50 on a $1 case you can crumple with one hand 😂
I don’t know why people hate iphone users. I was using OnePlus 5 from 2017 and I love the Oxygen OS. I like Openness(if its a word) of Android but i am comfortable with ios. Just that!
Bought it for my iPhone X and I love it! Thanks lew! Honestly great quality and the perfect texture.
It’s also a way to support the channel and all the stuff that these guys are working on and it’s better than having a T-shirt with someone’s name on it.
Well said , mate. Same feelings.
Honestly most of this fine but the whole removing the videos actually still doesn't make sense.
20:07-21:00
ABD360G still not a real answer tho. He’s saying he removed it because it ain’t useful but there are other older videos that aren’t any generating any views and yet he’s not removing those lol what a prick.
Let’s be frank it’s because it’s a video that was being used by a now competitor as promotion and without his permission.
I don’t blame him, would have done the same:
Zoey Crimson but he didn’t say that....
@@JessieBluman he did lol wtf

I didnt like what they said about lew, so i went out and brought the Latercase
Thanks for the $10 dollars off Lew, you have my support!
All the drama aside, I find it hilarious a Chinese company is upset about IP theft 🤣
Racism
@@klidd6777 Not sure if you're joking or just ignorant, so I'll take it easy on ya. Rac-ism: Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior. You see, Marco's joke highlights the plight of IP theft amongst Chinese companies. They steal designs. This is not a new thing. Them being Chinese doesn't really have anything to do with theft - well, other than the lackluster copyrights laws in China. Furthermore, Marco mentions nothing about his race's superiority.
TL;DR - the joke's not racist; it's accurate as hell and in no way declares this person's race superior. You're ignorant and that's okay; hopefully you'll have learned something from this.
I dunno, maybe because he claim it's new idea while he DELETES THE VIDEO OF HIM REVIEWING THE EXACT THING
Look i understand why he could use the design like for pixel because they doesn't have one for it, but why the fuck he delete the video?
If you actually have any knowledge of how Chinese companies operate, you'd under context instead of trying to virtual signal.
The Chinese government mandates that any company wanting to do business in China must turn over all IP to the company which shares it with the government.
They then distribute trade secrets to other companies in China.
There have also been caught red handed hacking into American Defence contractor databases and stealing IP. Which is why much of their military tech resembles ours.
Aside from that you don't have to look too far to find any type of counterfeit and knock off technology, apparel, and just about any type of product you can imagine on Chinese websites.
It's adorable that you all felt the need to accuse me of being malicious and defending thieves. Bravo 👏🏼
Toby Pohan it’s marketing... you don’t advertise competition when you introduce your own product.

That is done purposely. Many people do this when giving speeches to "defend" themselves. Like president Reagan's "adressing" speeches. Ted Kennedy's Chappaquiddick incident address. They make it very long and so boring that many people just stop listening and stop caring.
One of these days those logo-less cases will be the sought after OG collectors ones.

When it comes to branding I would say the most you can do without being annoying is great. So logo on box and inside the case for sure. Now that you know the competition and fake competition it's important to make sure people know what is yours and what isn't, so don't be shy with the branding.

Literally every company does that, he explained how expensive it was to get the manufacturer, the materials, and the tools. He even said that when all the calculations are made, it’s around $25 per case, they sell at 45 for a $20 profit. That’s basic business strategy.
