iPhone Case Bantha

This cow was created to celebrate Star Wars Day 2020, on May the 4th, and is available in the No Meat Today app as a special look any cow attracted that day will put on.

🐮 Story of this cow

I love Star Wars and have always wanted to create something to celebrate May the 4th. This is the second cow I worked on after I introduce the concept of the special cow in No Meat Today. Banthas seem so peaceful that they felt like a good candidate.

My first draft was really horrible. Beyond ridiculous. So I went in another direction, and fortunately, my second try looked a lot more like something I wouldn't be ashamed to stick on my laptop.

🧬 Is it still a cow?

Well, yes. Cows in No Meat Today are notorious shape-shifters, but their spirit always remains one of a cow.

👀 Can they see anything?

Of course. Sure, the bangs cover their eyes most of the time, but they still manage to see what's happening around them. The reason they look like that is that those hairs act as a fantastic barrier against sand and sun.

🌟 Why would I buy this?

• To get a smile on your face every time you see it.
  
• To put a smile on someone else's face.
  
• As a prank to someone who hates vegetables
  
• Because it will make your life funnier
  
• To make me happy (I kid you not, my heart races every time I get notified about a sale)
  
• Because you couldn't get the cow in the app and you want it
  
• Because you got the cow in the app and you want more of it
  

🤔 You forgot the brand. Are you insane?

I have decided not to put the "No Meat Today" name on any of the products for several reasons :

• There's no room for it without killing the aesthetic. On the stickers, it would mess with the cut, and on prints, I would have to spend hours placing the name correctly for each print size, plus I find that it attracts the eye too much
  
• I would rather have you enjoy clean designs multiple times every day rather than improve my chances for another sale. The occurrence of the former vastly outweighs that of the latter, and I want you to be happy.
  
• The name is not the brand, the cow is: the cow is the brand, and while there are designs (like the Bantha) that take some distance from it, they mostly look alike. My daughter calls them all "daddy's cow." ☺️

🚚 About shipping, orders, and return policies

You can find answers to all your questions on this dedicated page, but to put it short:

• 1-2 weeks to get it in your mailbox for most people
  
• you'll receive a tracking link when your order ships out
  
• no returns or exchanges unless it would be fair to do so - DMs open @nomeat_today or by email via the app.
  

🙌 Where will my money go?

About 60% of the price before shipping goes to Gumroad (here), Printful (printer), and Taxes.

The rest goes to me, but I redirect 5% towards charities acting in favor of animal welfare, oceans & trees.

👋 Wait, who are you again, and what am I doing here?

My name is Arnaud Joubay (@sowenjub), and I created an iOS app called No Meat Today to help me eat less meat. It became way too idiotic and useful to keep it just to myself, so I decided to publish it.

Since then, I've been creating more and more cows that you can unlock in the app on special occasions.

Regarding what you are doing here, some of it is clear (your parents did something good, you, and you followed a web link or something), and some aren't. If you're like most of us, you might be procrastinating about some boring thing you'll end up doing in a rush, or it's bedtime, and you used your phone even though you need to sleep and swore not to do that anymore.

Anyhow, stop all that thinking, and treat yourself; you deserve it.

• Stickers for your laptop, car, helmet, phone, bag, fridge, notebook…
  
• Square Posters (get one of each cow and use them as tiles)
  
• Rectangle Posters for your living room, office, or bathroom door
