    To all of you pointing out that the buttons aren't on straight- I think the asymmetry/slight deformation is part of the design. They were clearly going for a sort of slightly off-kilter charm here.

    @Bialia: To me, that makes it look like it should have been made out of denim and marketed towards preschoolers for $5. It just looks poorly made. The strap is attached poorly and the button sucks too. I'm sure most guys with zero sewing knowledge would end up making something as ugly as this on their first try.

    @spannu: I respectfully disagree. The rest of the stuff on the site seems to have the same design theme. There is nothing about it to indicate that it is poorly made- they just made design choices you don't personally seem to find aesthetically pleasing. I guess that means it is a sucky piece of crap right?

    @The_IT_Crone: Again, it was obviously done on purpose AND it is a legitimate design choice. Not for everyone- but just because you don't like it, doesn't mean it is in bad taste (or, as others have mentioned, shoddily constructed -WTF). How self-centred does that sound?!


    So easy to sit back and anonymously rip someone else's work apart. Ah, internet. I don't even particularly like the stupid bag, but whatever. I just wish people could behave more... I don't know, reasonably, and humanely towards each other.

    Is it supposed to look like they just slapped the buttons and D-pad on there without even trying to line it all up correctly?

    Probably, since if you look at the dpad, the four-way hole cut around it is obviously not even close to parallel in shape or lined up properly.
