        @aral Samsung have never been shy of making cases. Must mean they don’t like their designs that much, if they make things to obscure them :D

        @abitofcode @aral Samsung should stick to copying Apple, because shite like that is what happens when they don't.

        @aral I was just told by a friend the plastic cradle with the price tag is not part of the device, so it's not that bad XD
