Um...no one? I'm just comparing him to the prima donnas we're used to seeing in the States. (And before you ask, no, I'm not intimating that Die is currently in the States.)

Alou.

Strahan?

Yeah, I definitely prefer the resistance of the click wheel. Without it, I'm scrolling all over the place. It's a design feature, not a bug.

Dodocase. They're bulkier than the super thin ones, but I love mine. My iPad feels protected, it's easy to remove if I want it naked, and it's slightly camoflagued in the wild.

Breaking a bat over his knee, no less.
