People haven't forgotten the truck full of iPhone incident and I wouldn't be surprised to discover that it is the reason people look into anything Lew does now far more closely.
It's a shame because I liked his videos but haven't watched anything on his channels in over a year since he has done several dishonest things that demonstrates he lacks integrity.
I rarely unsub someone but I unsubbed Unbox therapy some years ago ... His first video in his home were nice but he started to scream all the time, do massive clickbaiting, do fake giveaway etc
I feel bad agreeing, but I feel the same way. He used to have neat and interesting content, but I can’t remember the last time he had anything bad to say about a product. You can’t really use his videos for anything other than seeing what a product looks like, but there are other channels which do that better.
CreeperTech did that even become a thing/controversy ? When I realized that no one was getting an iPhone I stop following the channel but I found it weird that no one else cared. This case seems like nothing by comparison, the iPhone made his channel blow up.
@Lassi Kinnunen You're spot on. I always felt like UBT was just a hype machine channel and Lue seems like a vulture of all sorts (including being a culture culture). Always thought he was annoying and sleezy but I would watch the videos cuz I was interested in the products. Had to stop watching them.

I’ve had the Pitaka case for almost a year. It is the best case I have ever used. I saw the unbox therapy announcement and it confused me a lot. Mostly because after I bought the case, I found the original video. It was just a really sketchy way he announced it and said, “there is nothing out on the market like this case I made.” That statement was the big problem for me.
@Transylvania Turf I was wondering what happened with that. I was really excited for a (slim) chance to get an iPhone, but I didn't hear anything after that.
Wasn't that in cooperation with dbrand as they provided the site for signing up and announcing the winners and also handled the world wide shipping? Shall we turn on them now to for that?
So it's ok to review something .copy it and sell it under another name . Glad I don't subscribe to either of you guys. And thanks lon.tv for taking a stand that will show pitaka for sending out free items for review and inviting a youtuber to their booth.

Yeah but its still better watching an hour long vid. Right? And a clip is supposed to cover all the things related to the context of the clip, which it did.
It's interesting that this and Lew's clip explaining how he had die-cuts made, sourced materials from 3M and had them made. He even listed the pricing for each of the die-cuts for each of the models he supports.
As a fellow Canadian, I really like your content, i've learnt a lot with you and your team. This guy is a liar, started with the pick up truck full of iphones, the copy cat case, then then pablo phone. This guy should be ashamed.
My take-Lew and his team thought that they were popular enough to make a case, put out a short video and thousands would buy no questions asked. He was wrong-very wrong and got called out on it and had to damage control. In the end, it’s a little blip and it probably did hurt his credibility with many but doubt it will hurt him in the long term. Any time you are a reviewer, and you decide to make products you open yourself up for major scrutiny, and in this case it was all done wrong and there was a lot of scrutiny .
Skull Rings, Knives, Watches Agreed. Another questionable and slimy business practice by Unbox Therapy. Bottom line: What Lew did wasn’t criminal, but definitely shady. I’ve since unsubscribed to the channel.
Sure, the issue is he then compromises his primary business with the side one. Now his honesty in reviewing other phone cases is called into question, because he's a "competitor". As Linus pointed out, he should have been very candid about this to avoid damaging his reputation which is half of his current business. It might not play into things much, but Lew should have been thinking about this rather than getting caught up in the excitement of $30 profit per case sold.
That's the mistake. He absolutely can, and should, promote his competition on his review channel. There's nothing wrong with saying "this case is awesome!" And then saying "hey I designed my own case that solves all the problems with other cases I talked about before, check it out!"
this is like chevrolet advertising for ford when they make a similar product but they both believe that theirs is the best. to sell he needs to distance himself as far away from his competitor as he can.
exactly, he shouldnt be selling products in the same market as the products he reviews. and he shouldnt be selling his product on his youtube review channel. it just becomes impossible to trust him as a reviewer.
@@ge2719 The whole point was that the company didn't make the case he wanted for his phone, so he decided to have it made. If Pitaka had made it, the LaterCase wouldnt exist.
Just a side note, pitaka makes amazing cases. I used one on my iPhone 7 plus for ~3 years and that thing went through hell, but the case held up, and my phone never broke. I now have one on my new iPhone 11 max pro or whatever the hell its called, only dropped it once, but it absolutely holds up for how slim it is.
Lol they fucked up the naming so bad the owners don't even know what their own phone is called. I remember when the iPhone X came out everyone got it and called it the "ex" instead of the "ten". Hell even people really into tech thought it would be called "ex" from the leaked name before it came out. If I remember correctly they actually changed it to "ex" when the next gen came out, though maybe I just never watched the release and went with what everyone else called it.
I'm still so pissed that Vertagear dragged their feet on the LED chairs . Since they announced, i've been ready, cash in hand to purchase one. They kept delaying and giving me the run around, but they still showed up at events, live streams, tournaments, etc. Sorry, I know it's unrelated, but seeing those chairs pissed me off, lol.
Hmm, his voice is like that because he's sick? I thought he finally hit puberty. All jokes aside, I love LTT, you've done a lot for the IT and TH-cam community.
If I have twoT-shirt from the same material and with the same color and size with just different logo on each, does this make them different T-shirts or they are the same?
The LTT Hood zip needs an inner lining. I can feel all the stitching inside when I wear it...gets uncomfortable over time when sitting while wearing it with it pressed against your skin(inside the sleeves mainly).
I like the say Linus tell the story. Well though process. He is well aware of what to say and how to project himself. however James is lot to learn from Linus.
I would love to see and hear about business, creating merch, marketing, and you guys creating your content so you all can make a living doing what you do an have fun doing it! That would be really helpful to us trying to get started and make a name for our selfs.
well... I make all of my VR accessories with a 3D printer, which I designed in software. I then ship them directly ship to the customers as cheap as possible) I'd say I do make the things that I sell! 😅
i think the information around this situation is clouding the mind. the launch video of the product, the words chosen in that video. the fact that he deleted the video. and his non defense of the accusation. He chose his words wisely to try and sell it as a original product without specifically stating that it is a original product. and it didn't work. his mcdowell's(coming to America) sales pitch didn't work if only he sold it like mcdowell's, at least he was honest about the differences. lew didn't even try to compare in anyway.
And what's wrong with that? Unless there's patent on the design, he can use it. Pitaka should sue Lew if they feel like a patent has been infringed. Otherwise STFU.
To take it further, Hermes, for example, puts their brand on bags that you can buy for 10% of the price that the same Hermes bag costs. Same look; same material, same everything. Brand has value.
@@lecannois There's nothing wrong with being deceitful and trying to fool people? You expect people to just suck it up and quietly take it after they get hoodwinked?
I literally watched lews pitaka case review yesterday, it's still up..... never heard about any of this and didn't now he had a case but I've know about pitaka since its kickstarter years ago....
You guys should post that clip of linus and luke simultaneously reacting to an imaginary kickflip, I've been looking through the wan shows trying to find it but I can't.
I’ve used Pitaka cases going back a few iPhone models & when I saw Lew’s case, I thought it was theirs. The situation soured me on Lew because I didn’t feel like he went about it well. Idk if that’s on him or if he just has shitty lawyers & PR people who didn’t warn him how bad this would look. To his credit, his cases for the new iPhones do look distinctly different than Pitaka’s. I actually like that the carbon fiber covers the mirror finish on the camera module. Idk why Apple designed it that way, it introduces a lot of reflections especially when taking backlit photos. Lew also seems to have gotten the license to use Kevlar branding. Pitaka does not so they have to call their material aramid fibers. I might be willing to try his case out if I could get confirmation that the extra coverage doesn’t interfere with the new sensors.
Another possible take on this could be the fact that due to the cases being quite similar, the higher price point may shift his possible buyers. You dont want to praise your competitors when you're taking them on with a more expensive product

*Sees this clip is 3 years old.*
Oh.
The sound quality on this so good i could record a Drake album on this.
Good Rapman Makes sense, they are Canadians after all
One problem is that he hasn't addressed that iPhone giveaway
He did years ago. It wasn't his fault and he made it right as much as he could
Taylor Fenoglio how many did he gave away? He was showing truck filled with them right?
@@MrTaylorfenoglio no, he made an excuse as to why he didn't do it right. He only "fixed" it because he got called out.
@@MrTaylorfenoglio he addressed that? I guess I missed that... Link if possible please?
@@sirgobbledygook th-cam.com/video/PndXdtKnHmE/w-d-xo.html he addressed it in another giveaway
He deleted the pitaka review video. That's proof enough he knew he was up to no good.
I wish they made a case like that for the LG v30.
Feb-2021: I just realized that I forgot what the WAN Show set looked like.
I'm still so pissed that Vertagear dragged their feet on the LED chairs . Since they announced, i've been ready, cash in hand to purchase one. They kept delaying and giving me the run around, but they still showed up at events, live streams, tournaments, etc. Sorry, I know it's unrelated, but seeing those chairs pissed me off, lol.
Views go away if you private or delete them. They stay if you set them to unlisted.
Let’s get this to 1 million views!
hey
The ceo of the company even said he doesn’t have a patent for the pitaka case. He said it was a moral issue he has against Lew not a legal one.
His whole channel is likely a shill. If he's willing to directly rip off his fans, why wouldn't he butter up reviews?
Linus explained the "making" thing so well. Cheers for you, Linus.
no he didn't
I kept clearing my throat throughout the video for Linus
I actually got a pitaka wallet and it's pretty great, I didnt know they made phone cases.
Linus: “No youtuber makes their own stuff”
*Demolition ranch has entered the chat*
... Has entered the cage...
Hickock45 here
Patrick Krause he doesn’t make his own stuff
*T-Rex Arms has entered the chat*
Apparently, people don't understand why I made the comment the reason I made it was because Matt owns bunker branding which prints his merch.
Hmm, his voice is like that because he's sick? I thought he finally hit puberty. All jokes aside, I love LTT, you've done a lot for the IT and TH-cam community.
Linus sounds like steve-o every now and then.
Hello, I'm Linus and this is "drop the graphics card".
Steve-o before drugs lol
I hope his case is better than his rap music LOL
What model of Vertagear are those chairs?
Would love to see the clip of Linus reacting to his first video with Luke. I remember it was from an afterparty from the first week of July 2017.
Ah the good old pre covid days when people could sit beside each other...
If I have twoT-shirt from the same material and with the same color and size with just different logo on each, does this make them different T-shirts or they are the same?
The LTT Hood zip needs an inner lining. I can feel all the stitching inside when I wear it...gets uncomfortable over time when sitting while wearing it with it pressed against your skin(inside the sleeves mainly).
Those posters on back look kinda weird. Clean wall would be nice
akshay chauhan they do it for their sponsor displate
I like the say Linus tell the story. Well though process. He is well aware of what to say and how to project himself. however James is lot to learn from Linus.
I would love to see and hear about business, creating merch, marketing, and you guys creating your content so you all can make a living doing what you do an have fun doing it! That would be really helpful to us trying to get started and make a name for our selfs.
Geez, it's already been 2 years 😱
well... I make all of my VR accessories with a 3D printer, which I designed in software. I then ship them directly ship to the customers as cheap as possible) I'd say I do make the things that I sell! 😅
Keep up the good works
How u take an order ?
Unbox therapy has zero integrity. How he treated the escobar phone. And his policy on sponsorship/product placement is at least unmoral, at worst...
Linus should make a case for his Note9
I am so in love with this voice
i think the information around this situation is clouding the mind. the launch video of the product, the words chosen in that video. the fact that he deleted the video. and his non defense of the accusation. He chose his words wisely to try and sell it as a original product without specifically stating that it is a original product. and it didn't work. his mcdowell's(coming to America) sales pitch didn't work
if only he sold it like mcdowell's, at least he was honest about the differences. lew didn't even try to compare in anyway.
And what's wrong with that? Unless there's patent on the design, he can use it. Pitaka should sue Lew if they feel like a patent has been infringed. Otherwise STFU.
To take it further, Hermes, for example, puts their brand on bags that you can buy for 10% of the price that the same Hermes bag costs. Same look; same material, same everything. Brand has value.
@@lecannois lol, sure stan. whatever argument makes you feel good
@@lecannois There's nothing wrong with being deceitful and trying to fool people? You expect people to just suck it up and quietly take it after they get hoodwinked?
@@lecannois That Hermes selling overpriced stuff because of branding argument is irrelevant to this case.
8:55 Anyone else thought of GPD? Though don't know anything about some pics, because never went on their webpage...
I literally watched lews pitaka case review yesterday, it's still up..... never heard about any of this and didn't now he had a case but I've know about pitaka since its kickstarter years ago....
Get well soon
I dont know why this interests me more than Brexit, but it does.
You guys should post that clip of linus and luke simultaneously reacting to an imaginary kickflip, I've been looking through the wan shows trying to find it but I can't.
you find it first :P
Hell I bought my pelican case, cause it has a lifetime warranty which yes I have used to warranty it out before.
imagine Linus with this voice AND a beard
Upload a clip of the rant Linus made about Intel releasing their CPU just before AMD
i go back to that video just to watch the rant
Was the rant in the 10980xe video
"No TH-camr makes things"
Joerg Sprave: Hahahaha
CROSSBOW MAN
Let me show you it features.
@@yukido42 come to say that but you beat me to it :(
I’ve used Pitaka cases going back a few iPhone models & when I saw Lew’s case, I thought it was theirs. The situation soured me on Lew because I didn’t feel like he went about it well. Idk if that’s on him or if he just has shitty lawyers & PR people who didn’t warn him how bad this would look. To his credit, his cases for the new iPhones do look distinctly different than Pitaka’s. I actually like that the carbon fiber covers the mirror finish on the camera module. Idk why Apple designed it that way, it introduces a lot of reflections especially when taking backlit photos. Lew also seems to have gotten the license to use Kevlar branding. Pitaka does not so they have to call their material aramid fibers. I might be willing to try his case out if I could get confirmation that the extra coverage doesn’t interfere with the new sensors.
Another possible take on this could be the fact that due to the cases being quite similar, the higher price point may shift his possible buyers. You dont want to praise your competitors when you're taking them on with a more expensive product
Steve-O took Linus place.
What to expect from unbox.
Just like Donald saying, "I opened this new factory. "
Hi how come I didn’t know about this channel, I just subbed as I love LTT AND channel super fun, techlinked and techquickie etc etc etc. I have subscribed to this channel as well. Your the best Linus. Appreciate all the work LTT Team does.
It's 2022 and Linus hit puberty
For some reason it seems to me that he did exactly what soldier boy did
Pretty much seems like a playground fight on youtube to me.
did his voice finally break?
why do I get these clips like four months after they come out.
