OhGizmo! Quick Review: The LG Chocolate Touch VX8575
My 60 year old dad was one of our beta testers and we have his finished wallet hanging proud in our studio.
He gave me the full report and said "if I can make one of these than anyone can".
Go Duct Tape!!!
Duct Tape, by itself is an item that is notorious for being a "low budget" solution to high cost items. Duct tape fixes all, and we use it cause we can't afford to do better.
SO what the heck is this? $20 for a kit to make a wallet out of duct tape?
. . .
. . .
Why... would i buy this kit, when for half that price I could just buy a leather wallet??
Why would I buy this kit, when for the price of a roll of duct tape. I could go online, get free instructions...and make my own for a couple bucks.(if not less).
Erf... I am just beside myself with disgustipation. -_- bah... Humbug.
In defense of the kit:
1. Duct Tape stands to stick things together, nothing else. It is people with creativity that have created the culture... not 3M or Nashua.
2. Nothing is a high cost solution for Duct Tape because nothing compares. It is almost from another planet.
3. If you are buying a leather wallet for $10 then it is probably pleather and much like the quality it is exactly half the fun.
I understand your position and we have heard that from a small group of people just like you. However that group never seems to get around to pulling out a roll of duct tape and making a cool wallet they can be proud of. "Humbug" is fitting. I usually don't get this defensive but we are proud of this kit.
