At the price they're likely to cost you won't lose them. You'll keep putting them in that case.”
No, I think they look dumb today and tomorrow. But that doesn't mean I don't think someone else could do something nicer. I hated the battery cover Apple made too, but others did it nicer.
Sony Ericsson was doing this with Bluetooth ten years ago! Sure, this has a few nice touches (sensors to detect when in the ear) but not much more, besides a high price!
I had the Sony Ericsson ones and they were great, but it was another thing to charge. They didn't sell that well as a result.
