I have to disagree here. The case is not advertised as "right hip only". To wear it on your left side means flipping it backwards. It is an awkward thing to do. Would I even think about the case not being compatible for your left hip? Of course not. Would I ask about a custom job before ordering an otherwise ordinary case? Of course not. I didn't say it was junk nor a horribly designed product. It is missing a 2 cent magnet that was oversight by the designers. Therefore, the product doesn't deserve a perfect rating.

If a manufacturer built a tv that was supposedly top of the line which came with a remote that worked in your right hand only AND didn't advertise it as such, there would be a whole lot of left handed people upset when they found out they couldn't use their remote properly. The right hand reviewer had no problems with it and gave it a glowing rating. The left handed purchaser reads the review, buys the tv and is very annoyed. Who would ever think that a tv remote would only work in one hand.

Its the same here. I'm sure the manufacturer didn't leave out the extra magnet for spite. It was an oversite and is now a very easy manufacturing change to make. It is a feature that nobody thought about and was only brought to light once it hit the market. That's why, in my eyes, it doesn't deserve 5 berries. If you had done the review and had put the case on your left side, you probably would not have given it 5 berries either.
