@Gizbeat, Roger that.
I understand where you are coming from w/ Huawei. The battery life on that device is phenomenal compared to the others, thanks to the lower ppi and a bit dimmer screen.
Where they get killed is, as you pointed out, in personal preference. I personally hit a wall with it when comparing the range available in aftermarket cases. I really like a lot of flexibility with my cases, but I'm a weirdo like that. On that note...
Your personal preference comment reminded me of Disney World of all places (stay with me) as I was just there over Christmas, in the thick of the expensive in-season madness. As I was looking through the plethora of official Disney stores, both in park and outside, I noticed that the only phone cases available were for Apple products. All marked with a large "5" or "6", with a few "4" thrown in for good measure.
At first I thought it strange, as Apple phones are popular, but so are Samsung, LG, and many other brands. In fact, upon observation, it was painfully obvious that the bulk of the people within the park did not have Apple devices. Then it dawned on me:
They are only offering what sells in large quantity at inflated prices. Disney Corp. has crunched the numbers and deduced that owners of Apple products are far more inclined to purchase a poorly made $35+ piece of branded ABS plastic than owners of other devices... so what does that say about personal preference?
