Eight months in and not holding up well

I've had this case for about eight months now and I have to say, I'm not terribly impressed. I'd like to start by saying that I'm not hard on my computer. I never travel long distance with it and it rarely, if ever, leaves my house. A few weeks in to my use two of the little pads on the bottom half of the case, the ones that keep the computer from scratching the surface beneath it, popped off. I was able to superglue them back on and thus far they've held. A month in one of the clips that keeps the bottom case attached completely broke off. Now I have to fight to keep the bottom case on and it's constantly collecting crumbs and other nastiness between the case and my computer. I don't even eat over my laptop, so yeah, gross. I also dinged one corner of the top case when I was moving it from my desk, creating a little crack in the plastic, which has since spread and even chipped off an entire chunk of the case. Nothing like putting duct tape on your computer.To be honest, I think this case is exactly the same as the cases you see here on Walmart for ten or twelve dollars. My mom purchased a case for half the price of the Kuzy and it looks identical (minus the Kuzy logo). I'd hoped that with the slightly steeper price this would have equated to a slightly better quality case, but mine is practically coming apart and my mother's is still in decent condition. In fairness I think the case has done its job at protecting my computer. I can't verify that, though, because I'm pretty sure if I take the case off now it will fall apart.To sum up: if you want a temporary cheap case, buy a cheaper one than this, because honestly it's exactly the same and not worth the extra eight or ten bucks.
