Personally, I don't think that I will ever operate the stack with the AC adaptors coupled through the rubber access ports, for example. Sure, it's great for those who carry adaptors but are too lazy to take the stack out of the bag, but how many people really think like that? So the rubber ports, which must add substantially to the cost and are a nicely thought-through piece of design, strike me as completely unnecessary.
It's the same with the transparent window. This is only used for mp3 players with a display, but using an iPod usually means tinkering with the player, which is difficult through the transparent window, and also often entails adjusting the Micro amp volume control, so most people are going to open the bag either way. A simpler bag would keep the costs down and yet meet the requirement of a bag that keeps the stack safe.
(That said, I think that the Micro Strap is great!)
One other thing while I'm here ... your product shots should give a better sense of scale. I was staggered by how genuinely small and cute the Micro Stack when it arrived ... much neater than I had imagined while perusing the site.

I agree, a simple bag made very well!
the MicroStrap is the best thing going over any amp out there!
most of the headphone amps out there are odd size compared to the DAP's they are mated with. the MicroAmp is a very good size base for an iPod, Zune, etc..
