I don't care, once I have the money and time to build a rig, I'm still going to go for this case.
It's just a beautiful work of art.
And for those who don't think it's amazing, think of it as a high tech futuristic PS2 ;)

On that note, some people will believe you if you tell them that the liquid in a level is bovine urine, preferred for its specific viscosity that allows it to be used in such a manner.

I'm sure there's already a, "This game is stupid. I beat it in 5 secs. Dunt bother dling. " there.
However, I always get a kick from people complaining about lack of sound. Eeither because their phone is on silent or they have a 1G Touch. "So stupid that you have to plug in headphones to hear this. Why didn't the devs say this fart app wouldn't work without them? Don't dl they are trying to cheat us out of monies."

Can I use the straighten tool to straighten out shots instead? Sure, but it requires me to crop off quite a bit of material for being just a degree or two off. Why not just get it done right the first time? If I'm doing a wide-angle landscape+sky shot in vertical orientation, I want it to be straight, and since I'm doing a wide shot, I obviously don't want to be cropping it very much.
For handheld shots its not useful unless you're not looking through the viewfinder (it might seem strange, but with modern autofocus systems, you can take blind shots and often get great results). Oftentimes I'll photograph an event without looking through the viewfinder much so that I a.) don't only see whats in the viewfinder, and b.) don't live events only through the lens. The level gives me a good idea of if I'm shifting the camera too much to the side or tilting it up or down too much.
My horizontal shots through the camera have usually been spot on without any leveling, but my handheld vertical shots were always off a bit. I bought a battery grip for my camera which not only extended my battery life a whole lot, but gave me a second set of controls for vertical shooting. That's my first suggestion for those trying to tidy up vertical shots.

And yeah the most expensive DSLRs have a level in the viewfinder, but the last time I checked, the price difference between them and lower models like the Nikon D40 was much greater than $11.
