if ya look at the knife it was 260 bucks for not a lot of product itself....probably the same amount of product it would take to make a thin phone case....so that would raise the I phones price 260 bucks...apple don't want that .it just seems to be an exorbitant cost for a fancy hard plastic type ANYTHING...
they should concentrate on govt contracts where waste and fraud could cover the cost and everyone could get rich....like the old 400 dollar hammer we could sell a 260 dollar hinge....
