Yes, the inability to machine and finish the carbon case in the way steel, titanium and ceramic can be. They can't be brushed, faceted and polished.
If you watch the video below, showing a case being made it's shocking how much skilled labour, time and special machinery is needed manufacture one. At AP each case is an artisanal original. Very expensive. It was indicated they are working on some new ca...
