dag.odenhallIt is very lovely and well designed... but I too scoffed at the ridiculous price. We'll pay more for quality items to be sure but we came to this site for bargains first.

It does look gorgeous though, and that cutout for the clip hints at careful design that allows all of the pen body to be protected even when the clip isn't deep-carry. I urge Massdrop and Glaser to not give up given the failure of this first drop, and to try and design other products together using the experience from this iteration. Perhaps some type of roll pen case with a better price-per-pen-slot ratio than this, or a notebook cover with a protective pen slot, in both cases based on the design of this single-pen case and fully encasing each individual pen?
I have to say I find the MSRP here a bit arbitrary though if the product is truly exclusive to Massdrop. I'm not sure how best to fix that, though; ideas include not listing an MSRP at all, or to say that the first drop point is the MSRP, possibly making the first drop point simply "1 needed". But those are just ideas. Perhaps the MSRP on this drop is what Glaser would charge if they sold this directly, but that still seems a bit arbitrary since they don't.
Cheers
