Thank you for your great review and feedback! I'm happy to pass on your feedback but in the meantime, I can address your concerns!
We had much feedback about the previous non-coiled hose getting in the way and prone to getting tangled. Whereas, the current expandable coiled hose bounces back in place so no more wrapping the hose around the compressor when not in use or worried about it kinking up.
I'd like to get more feedback on the plastic airbrush holder. It does have to be a hard plastic piece because a silicone piece would have a tacky surface and be more prone to get stuck on the stylus tip when you pick it up. Additionally, the hard plastic piece is needed to be stable enough to hold the stylus upright. Again, I'm happy to forward your feedback in case we do find another alternative that would still meet those needs.
