      I feel bad agreeing, but I feel the same way. He used to have neat and interesting content, but I can’t remember the last time he had anything bad to say about a product. You can’t really use his videos for anything other than seeing what a product looks like, but there are other channels which do that better.

    I’ve had the Pitaka case for almost a year. It is the best case I have ever used. I saw the unbox therapy announcement and it confused me a lot. Mostly because after I bought the case, I found the original video. It was just a really sketchy way he announced it and said, “there is nothing out on the market like this case I made.” That statement was the big problem for me.

Sure, there's people out there that appeal more to the less technically inclined people out there, but they do 1000 times better with a tenth the budget.

    My take-Lew and his team thought that they were popular enough to make a case, put out a short video and thousands would buy no questions asked. He was wrong-very wrong and got called out on it and had to damage control. In the end, it’s a little blip and it probably did hurt his credibility with many but doubt it will hurt him in the long term. Any time you are a reviewer, and you decide to make products you open yourself up for major scrutiny, and in this case it was all done wrong and there was a lot of scrutiny .

I remember when the iPhone X came out everyone got it and called it the "ex" instead of the "ten". Hell even people really into tech thought it would be called "ex" from the leaked name before it came out. If I remember correctly they actually changed it to "ex" when the next gen came out, though maybe I just never watched the release and went with what everyone else called it.

      Sure, the issue is he then compromises his primary business with the side one. Now his honesty in reviewing other phone cases is called into question, because he's a "competitor". As Linus pointed out, he should have been very candid about this to avoid damaging his reputation which is half of his current business. It might not play into things much, but Lew should have been thinking about this rather than getting caught up in the excitement of $30 profit per case sold.
