Most of what is you have said is true, but I don't subscribe to the attitude that "After a while, objects acquire a patina of use, and their scuffs and dings become an intrinsic part of their character - almost a mark of their usefulness.". Look at the iPhone, it has a glass front face. It was designed for daily interaction especially in the front face region. I have 3 SB3's and a Transporter, none of that equipment has any scratches. Those devices weren't designed to be portable/handled on a daily basis. I was just saying the front face on the Duet's Controller could have been alot better. For instance the clear front face could have been recessed to prevent surface scratches. I already mentioned different materials, it just bothers me that I handle my equipment with care and that the controller after week 2 looks terrible. I'm not looking forward to seeing what it will look like after year 2. -- pc4ever1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pc4ever1's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3836 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=45139 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
