It may go beyond a free case. One of the 5 star reviews says:

"Disclosure - I received this product in exchange for an honest review."

One wonders if there might be other reviewers who also received the product in return for a "honest review" but failed to include such a disclosure. The problem, of course, is that if you give an honest but negative review, you are unlikely to continue to receive free things to review.


So a bribe.
