Monopoly - no choice but this 80's plastic toy

This is a classic case of what happens when there is a monopoly. Google "lightstick holder/case" and you'll find it's the only one in the world. If you need a device that allows you to shield your glowstick or control the amount of light it gives off, you have no choice but to do it. So I'm glad this case even exists. However, this is terrible value for money. It's $15 right now, but it's just a piece of poorly designed and poorly manufactured injection molded plastic from the '80s that costs well under $1 to make. The edges are rough and jagged, the window size is arbitrarily small, and the clip is weak. For those who gave it 5 stars, I have no doubt that it "does its job", hence the 3 stars. But a 5-star product must be of the same quality as typical tactical gear. It's more of a toy for children.

Pros
  • Ideal for use in tactical situations
Cons
  • Very expensive
