yea, I like the suggested price... my fancy analog cases were around 50 bucks...
Just a note - I looked up the Miro artwork and it's still under copyright. These are the same people who sued Google for making a tribute page to Miro for his birthday:
so I don't want to mess with them! Too bad - it was a great image. I did, however, find a beautiful image of the cave drawings at Lascaux that looks awesome on the gold case!

Alll rightt! They look great now!
I hesitated a bit before posting that message about proportions... because I think it's my personal hypersensitivity to stretched arts
I see this is pretty common, in websites, especially when they stretch actual photos, so you see faces too slim/wide ughhh!
A very useful feature (in image-editing software) is to keep "shift" key pressed while resizing manually pics and others sort of control on image proportions. I see this shift-key thing in more than a program so i guess it's common, maybe Control key in GIMP2? i can't remember
Good job!
I've ordered 7" and 5" blanks to make samples and will take pictures of the various available configurations of the interiors of both, once I have them complete.
The 5" will most likely come with 2-3ml bottles and space for 3 ecigs/batteries.
If you mean "custom" as in "special requests," yes!
It'll be a $5 charge and you'll either have to give me a link to the requested artwork or email me the graphic/photo/logo.

It's OK - I never intended to sell them with stretched out artwork!
I threw these mockups together on my laptop paint program. My PC has a sophisticated photo editing program that I'll use for the actual artwork/faux finishes.
I'd love to hear some suggestions for artwork or finishes from everyone! I'm at a loss for what men would want, other than the wood, diamond plate, samurai or pin ups. I thought maybe the military logos would be popular? Also, anime, dragons, military stuff. I also found some surreal paintings by a 16th century artist - Hieronymus Bosch - really dark stuff. It has to be public domain stuff, because if I have to pay for them, that'll raise the price considerably.
Any other suggestions for guys??
Thanks Angus - camouflage is a good one! I can't do sports teams, as their logos are licensed, unless it's a special request. Scantily clad women, again, would be copyright protected, plus I'd have to get their permission to use their likeness. So, again, it'd have to be a special request.
I definitely will! I'm sure it's going to be a couple of weeks. I have to make the samples, photograph them, get a website set up for ordering and then order enough blanks. That was one of the reasons I wanted people to answer the poll - so I knew how many to order!
I would love to have one for my carts and my 2 batteries that doesn't look like a carbon copy of the case that you can get through the company!! Awesome! Let us know when available!
Well, I bought an ecommerce site today and I've been working on getting it set up. This is a lot of fun! I can't wait until my materials arrive and I can get started!

Just a flat rectangular cf piece on top like the others would be fine. Or I could just buy my own off Ebay and get a blank one from you to save you any hassle...UNLESS a few more people want one as well...
OK, Duff - I'll see what I can do.
Well, I got the sample cases to day and I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised! I was a bit worried what the quality of the cases would be, but they are quite nice! They have a good weight to them, have a non-tarnish finish and are made in the U.S.
Another good surprise, is that 5" case does come in a 7/8" deep case (Serendipitiously ordered it, thinking I was getting the 5/8" deep one, so it was another pleasant surprice! So the 5" cases WILL hold the 6ml bottles! Yay!
The website is coming along nicely. The foam also arrived today. Just waiting on the lacquer and I'll be able to make up the samples. Although, now I'm missing the 7" case, so I'll have to order that tomorrow!
I'm going to have to do another poll then, before I make the bulk order, to get an idea of which cases people will want. I don't want to order 25-5" silver and evryone wants 7" gold!

I've started looking around for some type of case to hold my 510s and Tornado. I love these and would definitely order one.
