I’m sufficiently irked to register and post to this form for the first
(and probably last) time.

You see I was under the impression that the words “Designed and
manufactured in Mountain View, California, USA” meant just that. 
Whereas it now appears that the principal component of both my S3s was
actually manufactured in China.  Am I alone in finding that a
little…….well, disingenuous?

There’s no need for me to argue the economic and ethical rights and
wrongs of such a production model in such well-educated company. 

Nor do I need to point out that, for some of us, the considerations of
how and at what (human) cost a product is produced are factors in the
purchasing decision.  The fact that Slim Devices chose to slap the
“Designed and manufactured…” tag on in the first place shows just how
well-attuned they were to such sensitivities.

Enjoy counting the cash, Slim/ Logitech people.  Try not to think to
hard about that new, faraway workforce.  Or the old manufacturing
assembly staff a little neare to home who had to be “let go”.
