Except for the big honking chunk of the cap torn out when the clip was pulled off? Cute case, though.

*sigh* This seems to happen more and more. I have always said to read the entire description a couple times so you know what IS disclosed and later, perhaps, what WAS NOT disclosed. I think we have to be diligent in our own reviews and our own evaluations as to the quality things are listed as and what we really think it SHOULD be listed as.

Good reminder David!

I've never really gone out on a limb on eBay, maybe some that came close. But if I ever thought about bidding on something that appeared somewhat sketchy, I'd most certainly take screenshots of any page documenting the auction, as at least tacit proof of what was 'advertised'.
