As an entrepreneur, there's a constant tension between the risk and perceived outcome. You take as many as you can, but there's a balance. You want to exist! In our latest post, we get into the details of why our PopHolder is 3D printed.

Totally agree on shipping pricing. Unfortunately, shipping anywhere outside the US is crazy expensive for some reason. We don't charge 1¢ more than the rates given by Shopify. Hopefully we hit a size in the future where we can do things to make that price way lower. For now, were just to small.

Really glad you are enjoying the case, & glad you appreciated the note. I've done them since over a year ago when we were delivering the Kickstarter rewards. I just kind of stayed in the groove of it because I am so thankful that people are buying the cases. I plan to do it as long as it's possible.

Ha! Yeah, we've been asked about this a bunch (including the 12 mini as well). Unfortunately, there needs to be enough material to wrap around the edge, and since the MagSafe Wallet goes right to the edge there just isn't enough material to make it work. Sorry 😢 I love the minis as well.
