Went to the site. Can't find anything about the case. Even the "Learn More" button just takes you back to the page you're already on.

Where can I find out about the case, not the headline, but the what the case is about?

Good question Aces. I'm not sure. I didn't see anything else on that site. I assumed that if you clicked on learn more, it would actually let you LEARN MORE! Darn.
I'll try to ind more info...
