Case with No Slide Out Keyboard Feature

Thank you, Chris for the PM. I am interested in this. My question is, what ideas or products do you have for screen protection? the case sounds sweet for phone protection and sounds slim and form fitting. I'm looking for something that still protect the entire phone, glass and all.

why not use a simple screen protector under the carbon fiber case?
that is what i am planning on doing atleast. the zagg or bse will be just fine i think

Knicho couldn't have said it better. We do not offer any products for screen protection unfortunately, so I would recommend going out to your local store and buying those screen protectors. There is a thread on here that discusses peoples opinions on certain protectors you could find. :)
 
would actually like some more pictures of the red, to see how great the contrast between the red/black is...

Alright, do not take this case as an example of the product as it was before we made the hole as precise as it is on the black cases I posted before. This is only to let you see the red carbon fiber.

I am willing to go in on this sight-unseen purchase IF there is a return/refund policy if the fit and finish is not as I'd like. I'm not expecting mass-produced perfection, but I also dont want it to look like it was something I made in my garage. Most of the pics you've posted so far look good, but a few of them look uneven in terms of shape (for instance this one looks wavy like an "S" if you look at it, maybe it is the picture or maybe it is the actual shape):

A case made in that shape CANT fit and look proper.

It's not that 60 bucks is a big deal, but if I'm going to be the guineapig for this trial run I want some assurances, since no finished product pics have been furnished.
 
RotaryRessurection. If you are referring to that black case for the G1 there might be something for you to consider :)

The G1 is an oddly shaped phone in which it is a flat back with the top 2 inches of the phone lifted up. If you look for the picture of the red case attached from the side view you can see what I mean. Basically the phone in a text perspective looks like this : \____ but the raise isn't as high as the slash, it was the closest comparison I could show. It makes for an odd looking case. The Droid however has a solid flat look so it will not be a problem. I hope that is the S pattern you are referring to. As for returns/refunds on the product. If the case really doesn't fit or any issue arises just talk to me and we will work something out. However, once we get the design created and the mold made, all cases will come out the exact same regardless of color. This means if 9 of the 10 people say it fits great and the 1 other says no it doesn't fit I want a replacement, well we are going to need to see proven evidence of that issue. I know how seidio has been and i'm not bashing them but it seems as though 80% or more of their cases have a fitment issue. Get what I mean? Sorry if I came off in an unpleasant manner, just trying to make things clear as possible.

If you are still interested in this feel free to message me for my paypal.
 
You know, at first I was interested in something like this, but the longer I've had my droid, I've become more accustomed to the physical keyboard...and now I'm not sure if I would want it gone...

Natediddy thanks for your input. I will let you know how things work out. As of now we have many different ideas floating around on the design. The case will either make the keyboard completely unable to slide open, or if we can get one of our ideas to work it will have a clip that will lock the keyboard or allow it to open. The case is still a developing idea so I will let you know how things go within the next week. If we can make the option possible for a lock or not choice on the keyboard I think that would make an even greater hit for people. :)

I'm referring to the idea that, it looks like to me in that picture, the sides are uneven. In other words it looks like if you were to hold a straightedge up to each side there would be high and low areas. Like it is wavy instead of straight. Perhaps it is the lighting in the picture, but I swear it looks that way to me.

It also looks like the corners are not the same. One is more rounded off than the others. Again it could be just the lighting or the angle of the picture. I added some quick, sh!tty mspaint lines to help show what I am seeing.

Hmmm...not exactly as reassuring as I wanted, sounds like you're walking the fence on that one. You're expecting us to send you a significant amount of money for an item we won't expect to have for 4-6 weeks, can't hold or examine in person, and havent even seen any PICS OF FITMENT ON OUR SPECIFIC PHONE. But you want us to just trust that everything will be alright?

Based on the pics you've supplied this is a project being done in someone's garage, by hand, which is cool...but you can't convince me that 10 of 10 produced cases will be identical in fitment under those circumstances. By that token, your standard for judging quality by the opinion of other buyers doesn't seem completely fair.

I will have to think about this. I might just wait it out and see how the first batch turns out, perhaps some users will actually post pics of fitment on their phones so we can see what we are dealing with.

My concerns/questions are about:

--how will the inside liner of the case be? Will it be rough and rub/wear the coating off the back/corners/sides of the phone? Having installed some custom FG and CF parts on cars I have built, I know the back sides are usually left rough.

--how well will the top edge, adjacent to the screen, be smoothed/straightened? This will be the most noticeable part so it needs to be near perfect in my opinion.

--will the sides be straight and not wavy?

--how thick is the case material itself?
