    And it’s only getting criticism from the usual suspects who haunt the Internet with their constant negativity, which is a cancer-like sore that festers and destroys. Tim Cook should have ignored the question.
    And what kind of ridicule, and criticism would it be getting if Samsung had designed a battery case like this for their phone? I think a little more than plenty. 
    Nobody is saying this is going to win design awards. Honestly though it's mostly getting ridicule from people who haven't used it. Gizmodo's review was mostly positive. Joanna Stern at the WSJ said it's easier to hold than some of the thicker battery cases. DetroitBORG did an unboxing/review on YouTube that was mostly positive. The impression I get from most reviews is: "I wanted to hate this but I don't and it's freaking me out that I don't hate this".

    There are a certain class of users who think buying Apple kit grants them superhuman intelligence and mega design chops. These are the same people who will complain about 'form over function' in one post then bleat on about how this design would never get past Steve (signer-offer of the world's most unusable mouse) Jobs in the next. 

    What's hilarious is how they immediately jump into the sheep pen and start ragging on a product they haven't seen yet. They complain about the way pen plugs into the iPad (Steve would have killed any man who showed him that!) without seeming to realise there's a charging cable in the box.
