> Dex by Lloyd Barnes & Javier Fuenmayor

Overhyped and falling apart Report this review

I have been waiting almost 2 years for this and I purchased this the very first day it was released. I already had the Cheetah index as well as a few other leather ones by quiver.

I am mostly to blame because I had a feeling that this was not going to be as described by the ad copy, I received this in 2 days from Penguin so there was no problem on penguins behalf and when I got the index I was fine with how it looked, I watched the 7+ hour Tutorial that is on YouTube and began to set it up.

Without exposing anything there was a feature that I liked and it had potential because it allowed the cards to bevel making it fairly simple to riffle but the problem was the 2 sides were not mirrored as they should have been which concerned me because I didn’t want to take mine apart and rebuild it, $75.00 is a lot of money for what you get so I tried hard to make it work, I practiced every day and at best after a week I was only hitting 50% but the real issue was that the Index began to fall apart, not just the bottom but even the sides were splitting and I was not even going for speed. Only accuracy.

My Biggest problem is the Ad Copy which was totally deceptive.
1. If Lamborghini created an index it would be dex, This is very false because this is just a bunch of packet holders glued together with what appears to be a very cheap.
2. This is not as slim as they would have you believe and it is awkward whether you wear skinny jeans or loose pockets.

The most infuriating thing was when Lloyd and Javier said on the instructional video that “We made this for Us” referring to themselves as if it wasn’t meant for the average guy. I will never buy the hype again, this will be the last time I ever buy something without seeing the product first.

The bevels not being mirrored is a design choice, and it makes sense to me: it lets you handle both sides of the device the same way, rather than asking you to riffle with your thumb on one side and your index finger on the other.

So it's kinda like a card holder for KK?
