Yep, I kept referring to the thing that Apple puts on them to transfer the capacitiveness of your touch as a quartz thing, but it's not. It's sapphire. Many people wanted to correct me on that. I am happy to be corrected. I just want someone to make a case with a sapphire. Or, like, it doesn't even have to be sapphire. It can be that plastic thing with the metal things through it.

There is a contingent of people who really, really like this case. And maybe, you know, one of the people who's listening, they might like this case, too.
