5 years are far from a lifetime...

5 years for something used daily for hours and taken in and out of a pocket is pretty damn good.

I can't even get a phone to last 5 years.

‘Products that are well-made and durable (even if they won’t last an lifetime) are accepted’

For a phone handle 5 years is several lifetimes.

Speak for yourself. The quality has gone down.

It’s an equally crap product compared its competitors, let alone a decent product. I’ve bought several brand name pop grips since 2021 and they’re all equally shit. The swappable cover pops off easily, the other swappable cover with the left press and click snapped inside (I couldn’t swap covers), the premium finishes get worn out quickly, and the telescoping plastic has torn off on two. I keep giving it chances because of the brand presence but it’s an awful product

The bigger the sub the lower the quality threshold for conversation. Agree 100% with you, this is the opposite of buy it for life and deserves more downvotes and way less apologists who are trying to gaslight you from even the spirit of the sub’s namesake

My wife loves these things but I think her average is like 3 months before something gets toasted.

We reuse the parts that we can, but it's hardly a long term item.
