I think it’s quite relevant since a lot of people or always asking for sturdy devices.
I know I’m always a bit disappointed when gear turns out to have a cheap plastic casing or something, like the Zoom H2. I better not drop that thing too often ^_^
Creative marketing campaign for this one — “xtreme” sports with skateboarders wailing and crushing the AUDIO 4 DJ, only to watch it emerge battered… but still working, apparently.
I think that’s a little over-the-top, and so, I ‘laud NI’s ballsy approach to advertising this. It may not be practical, but it caught my attention.
