I got ONE Analogue pocket successfully ordered.
I knew it would be a shitshow.
I didn't even waste time picking accessories.
Which also, of course, inevitably, because of ******* scalpers, SOLD OUT.
eBay needs to run interference on this crap.
Of course, they won't...

Clearly, demand was higher than anyone expected.

I forgot to check on the Analogue Pocket the moment the pre-orders were available, and now they are out of stock.
Thank you @analogue for making like, just a hundred of them 😑
(seriously tho, why do they make so little of everything when they know it will sell out immediately)

Hopefully Analogue will offer more pre-orders in the future.
