I'm not selling a phone or a tablet or anything like that. I'm just wondering: If I started making a bunch of these, would there be a market? I made them for my girlfriend for various holidays (I made her the Jellybean one for Valentine's Day, actually) and I'm wondering if I should start making more and selling them.
I have no where else that I can think of to ask this. If it is indeed wrong to post here, feel free to post various spiderman memes and such.
What are these made of? If they are of something durable, then I would definitely them.
The little jelly bean one is kinda cool. little rough around the edges though. clean it up a bit, and i'll buy one.
Shrinky Thinks?
If you can think it, you can shrink it.

As TheSkinnyDrummer said, it needs a bit of cleaning up. If that's done and has a great polish to it, it'll sell well. My friends and I are at a constant search for Android themed items
I want it
Depends how much and if it's durable. I've got a couple of key tags that aren't from a store, but are just cool lil trinkets.
Wow, so there is some interest!
They are, indeed, made from Shrink Plastic. They're pretty durable, coated on the front with a thick layer of plastic and on the back with an acrylic spray. I can't really see one getting broken, unless you were really trying intention.
And yeah, these were a little rough around the edges because I made them quickly, the night before I was supposed to give them to her. Not the best planner. The one's that I'd sell would be much neater.
What would you guys be willing to pay? $5-7? More, less?
I'd be willing to pay a couple bucks. But it always seems that things like this that are small and cool are much more than that.
May we see some more pics from the sides.. It looks pretty cool

At most, I would spend $6 depending on the size.

Yeah I'm really happy with it. It's a lot more stable than I was expecting.
The front "cradle" part has metal inside the CF so you can form it to perfectly fit your phone.
Would you ever consider making me one to sell?
Yeah I could probably do that, I'd have to check to see if I have another good piece of carbon for it though

I was just wondering, what would be the price if you were to sell one? Or maybe just the cost of goods needed to make that (mainly the carbon fiber).

Well I'm using a special CF that already has the resin sort of soaked in already so the weave doesn't come apart. I haven't seen this online anywhere so I'm not sure how much it costs.
If I were to sell one, maybe around 20 bucks shipped?

Good job.
I made a car nav mount that also acts as a pivoting desk stand. It's nice when you have it mounted in the car you can take stable video while driving without having to hold the phone.
Wow thats nice
Add me to the list if you decide to sell a few of these, I'd buy one for 20!
Very cool. I have always wanted to do some work with Carbon Fiber. I have heard mixed reviews on its difficulty factor. I think seeing this gives me more confidence to try it myself.. Thanks for posting pics!
Thought I would post this here for those who are patiently waiting after their pre-orders:

You think it's hard to wait for the Nexus 7? Try opening it. Apparently, the sturdy box and high-grade tape on the Nexus 7 make it perhaps too challenging! Watching these videos on YouTube made me smile, so I decided to put them together; shake-n-bake included. Hope it makes you smile too.
And people made fun of some users here because they couldn't open it.

It seems my parents were too cheap to buy me toys like that. I mostly remember playing with those little plastic molded army men, cheap marbles, rocks and dirt.
Anyways I do enjoy taking my toys out of the box, but why spoil some of the fun by watching other people do it first?
Brightened up my morning, thanks
Makes you wonder though, what kind of dimwit films an unboxing with nothing to cut the tape and then posts it for the world to see?!
I'll probably be the only one but I just found it tragic more than funny. Seems to be more tools in this world than I thought possible. Flummoxed by a couple of tiny pieces of sellotape, and then they top it off by showing that clip of themselves being useless to the whole world on youtube. Crazy. On the plus side at least your video was well made. Thanks for sharing. :good:
If you're getting one, wait til you try to open it

I was actually featured in that montage, which I thought was hilarious. If you get one, you'll see, it is not the easiest box to open. Those of you might have better luck, knowing the trouble it is to open it, but honestly, no one would have expected it to be as difficult as it was. The one guy is right. Google and Asus didn't play when it came to packaging the Nexus. Great Video.

Yeah I've got one and it was easy to open once you slash the bits of tape. Maybe you earlier model people had different packaging or something but I doubt it. Its the same with just about any product you buy nowadays. There's always tape somewhere, with a bit of a suction effect upon opening. Anyways once you finally got into your box I'm sure you were pleasantly surprised by the tablet goodness. Great device. :good:
And here I was thinking I was the only one having trouble opening the dark thing. I was wedging a spatula in between the two parts of the sliding box trying to separate the thing. I had already waited all day after I bought it before I had a chance to open it up and play with it, and the 10 minutes that it took to open the box once I got a free moment were aggravating, to say the least.
It was a PITA to open. I thought about just ripping the cardboard more than once.
loooooooooooooooooooooool

Oh yes, it was definitely worth the hassle.
A friend linked me this video today. I had a good laugh. I can't wait to take the unboxing challenge myself.
maybe this is why all the shipments were delayed, they are redesigning the box so people can get it out!
Challenge accepted.

Damn TBH that looks really good..but sadly it probably doesnt have an NFC antenna on the back cover..I have some friends in China who send me stuff if i ask them to quite often..i might be able to get a hold of that case.Can we please get a link ?
It looks so slick that I would like to use a silicon protector skin on top of it!
Seriously, looks-wise it seems perfect, but I have doubts about protection and dust sealing qualities.
Get ready to be sued by pathetic apple
do they ship to U.S? and is it really $2.37 dollars?

The slot for the pen looks like it has too much excessive free space but I guess that's because of the look.
I kinda like the look, no doubt it will protect the phone well. Next time I am in china I will look out for some.
I want this!! If anyone figures out how to order it PLEASE SHARE!! I want the white silver version. I also tried to translate/order and got "share baby" too. I tried to set up an account but the translator is limited. If anyone knows who is making these.. TELL THEM TO PUT THEM ON REAL EBAY!

I thought the Eclipse case with the sound redirecting was ingenious but I'm not sure if that added any bulk to the case. Would be cool to have on our N2's as well though :good::fingers-crossed:
They would sell a lot of cases for our phone; people with the best phone, will pay up for top of the line products like this..
I'll be keeping an eye on this but no way in hell I'm going to pay over 100 for a case =O must be made of gold!!!!
I would be game for one of these, regardless of the price is the designs turn out as good as the S3.
Always looking for nice unique cases, ones that aren't at your local mall case vendor.
+1 for element, someone send them a link to this thread.
I paid £500 for my phone, I am not going to baulk at paying $100 for a case, I've got a cheap one at the moment to protect it while I look out for a quality case
Anyone have an update on this? I'd love to have one of their cases. I remember their original iphone cases and they were crazy back then too with a see through magnetic plastic screen cover. Coolest case ever.

I was pretty much planning to alter it if I ended up buying it. Basically to remove the flap that covers the bottom, and I had no intentions to use a screen protector.

My bad, I thought you were spamming and trying to promote your own product here.
Personally though, not a fan of these types of cases. They're really bulky and I think they completely ruin the look of the phone and makes it look cheap.
I don't sell anything online. I'm just looking for something that with offer a decent amount of protection. I don't want a lot of bulk, but I want something that is sturdy enough offer that much. I've seen drops cracking the screen and figured I may as well look for a case to pop the phone in when I get it. I don't usually punish my phones, but I figured I'd rather be safe than sorry.
