You are ignoring most of the reasons wheels gave you. He said an e-book is harder for sharing, cannot be stored in a physical location and requires a theft prone device that makes the owner look nerdy. He also said he prefers the sensory ex

In my opinion the site looks thrown together and incongruent. The groupon starburst is trite (as are groupon clones but that is another matter). You obviously stole this artwork which strikes me as sleazy. That said, you are selling knockof

No, Case-Mate is speculating about the next iPhone design and is collecting the email addresses of credulous hipsters. You have submitted over 70 bgr.com links in the past 3 months. Why are you spamming HN?
