The HeadCase guys told me that a few faulty cases went out because of a miscommunication with their supplier, or something.
In any case, if you've received one where either the coating or the sticker is wearing off, you can get a free replacement. The new ones will be black all the way through, and instead of just a hop-grenade sticker, the BN logo will be integrated onto the whole case.
If you'd like to get a replacement, email me at
scott@thebrewingnetwork.com and I'll see to it. Apologies to anyone who received something that was not to their satisfaction.
Stay tuned, as soon as I get their preview of what the new and improved cases will look like, I'll post it.
