I didn't vote because whether or not I would want one at that price depends on the build quality of the box. If it's a sturdy design that one could expect to last a long time with typical use and (within reason) occasional abuse, then I might be interested at the given price.
If the price were to be roughly cut in half, then the build quality, and resulting life expectancy wouldn't matter as much. JMHO
P.S. (edit) I guess a *good* warranty would be enough to make me not balk at the price.

Unfortunately, $15 wouldn't cover the cost of the base materials, let alone the labor. It may end up being cheaper - if I get enough interest, I can buy in larger amounts for discount bulk prices. I've seen these identical boxes (customized for other uses & decorated by another company) for sale for $25 - $30 and they don't include the foam or the bottles (they were empty.)
I can see a use for these by women who carry a purse but as I'm a guy, it's a bit too large to carry around in a pocket at 7". A price lower than what a PCC costs would probably make more people be interested as well. I just couldn't justify $30 + shipping for a carry case.
I WOULD NEED A CASE THAT CAN HOLD MY expensive BB (oops capslock on) and a 10 ml bottle of e liquid and 3.7 batt and a spare atty... i you made it... i would buy it!
I no longer use my 510, but I do have something similiar to the njoy that I use at work. I drip exclusively on that device and it's a pain carrying bottles around. The e-cig I have is just slightly shorter than a 510 fully assembled and the same diameter so I think that would work perfectly for that as well.
Great work. I'd buy one.

Since I did an edit on the post you're responding to, I just want to make sure you saw where I added:

Great looking cases!
If they are high quality... the price is great imho.
In fact the last analog case I bought was over $50.00
Keep us updated!!

They are very nice Kristen, but I rarely use a standard size battery anymore. The case I use is small but has a compartment large enough to carry my Protege or V2 plus attys, juice and batts. Good luck though with your venture. 
It might be a good idea to section the interior so the ecigs can be carried disassembled. I currently use an old cigarette case to haul around my backup gear for my 801 - everything fits nicely, but only taken apart. Also, I agree about a section for tweezers, etc. Perhaps a small cutout area for misc. stuff?
This is a really good idea, by the way! I would definitely consider buying one. Good luck!

Those are very nice, Kristen. They are a bit like the one I made for my J118s (pics are on my profile) But I could never find anything the right size for my RN4072s. I much prefer carrying an assembled e-cig (or three or four.) That was the beauty of the BLU PCC.
I really like the colored vapor graphic.

I thought of that, so if you have a 510 or 901 or mini (anything under 5" long), I have a 5" case - about the size of a pack of 100's. Would hold 2 bottles and 3 e-cigs. Would be cheaper, as well.
The foam isn't cut to fit individual pieces - that's why it fits all different lengths. It's compression foam, so you could put things in there any way you want them in the foam area - assembled or disassembled. Someone could put in 2 full 510s, extra carts & a tweezers if they want, instead of 4-5 full ecigs.
The foam area is 5" X 2" and the bottle area is 2" X 2". On the 5" model, the bottle area is 5" X .75" and the foam area is 5" X 1.25" to fit 2 bottles lengthwise and about 3 ecigs along side them.

In this case, I may very well be interested.
Yeah, I thought some of the guys wouldn't like the size (I have a husband who vapes) so I found the 5" cases.
Keep in mind, this isn't meant to be "just" a carrying case. It's meant to be more of a custom luxury item, or I'd just make them out of plastic, lol!
Think of this as the ecig version of the old fashioned cigarette cases, which were beautiful and functional, but not really necessary when they already come in a paper box or pack.
Maybe I'll consider making a plain plastic one (if I can find the cases) for people who don't want something that is beautiful as well as functional!
