Today I found out about a German electronics brand named Hama, but I haven't heard anyone ever mention/recommend it to replace American products.. so is this brand just unknown or is something wrong with it?

Yeah, I phrased it weirdly. They're not really cheap. There's better options online and more durable, quality stuff everywhere. What I meant they're "cheap" in the context of me visiting a Saturn store. And there's a 30โ‚ฌ phone case. And a cheaper option by Hama for 15โ‚ฌ and that's the selection. So Hama is the cheap option... Of course I'll buy a better 6โ‚ฌ one someplace else. Or pay for quality... Hama's business model kinda depends on a limited selection in real-world stores, because they're really only cheap(er) if there isn't much choice.
