I am not a fan of the company after some of the actions they have taken and while do not like the design of the We The People case I was still going to order one so that at least the money would go to a good cause. I was getting ready to order when I saw that Larry was having more problems and changed my mind. I wasn't even confident enough that they were actually being charitable with the profits to spend the money and that doesn't sit well. When a company returns your order and tells you to write a check to charity yourself because they don't want your business I don't care who they told it to, they are not going to be getting my business either. Saying it over Twitter where everyone could see how lost and backwards their company is was a stupid idea too. They're not getting my business no matter how good their cases become.

How easy would it have been from the get go for the company to make this thing right and put a positive spin on the issue? Now, we should all just take our pennies elsewhere.

I have NEVER seen a company behave like this. The fact is, the whole point of offering a review is to share the good, the bad and the ugly. Larry wrote and honest review of cases that he purchased and was one day thanks and the next threatened. Weird. Fact is, we have all given reviews that were critical. Not once has a company threatened me. More than once they thanked me and said they would take it into consideration in the next version. I've see the same thing with iPhone app reviews. This whole thing is one big FAIL. Agreed.
