Truly one of the worst examples of intentional obsolescence I've ever seen on a piece of consumer tech. Yes, these can be gotten for cheap, but, this tablet/keyboard combo is very much designed to cause damage to itself. The keyboard attachment, which is part of the case, is attached by a flexible and fragile ribbon, which means that no matter what you do, the screen will slide around about 1/2 inch in every direction while the case is closed. Add in the pressure of being in a backpack, satchel, or just...sitting there on the table, and you're guaranteed to have scratches and gouges on the cheap plastic screen within a day of use. There is no way that this was an accident.
