Custom keyboard travel sleeves
« on: Mon, 29 February 2016, 23:39:40 »
Still hammering out the design a bit, but getting the wife involved with this keyboard project!

We are working on a padded keyboard sleeve for travel/protection and style!

The first two prototypes. They aren't perfect but we got some ideas for improving them. We have more fabrics as well.

starting with 40 and 60 since they are the most suitable for travel and then based on demand will look at the larger sizes.

That's great! Do we get to see it? :D

Also, could you let me know when you guys end up selling them? I would love to buy one for a 40% board!

Should be in the next couple weeks!  My wife returns tomorrow, I'll let her know we need some asap.  Are there themes or characters you like? I'll take a picture of the Sleeve made from Star Wars fabric tonight

Is there perhaps a website you use to purchase your fabric we could look through and pick one out?
As for characters, Deadpool, Captain America, and Link would all be fantastic! (If possible.)

Just a question, but the top flap looks a bit small for this one?
Do the corners of the keyboard stick out when held upside down?

Yeah this one is actually wide enough for a 60%. The final 40% design won't be as wide.  Also the flap for the 60 will be wider to cover the entire top.  I'm currently in the process of registering an llc and getting a company formed.  In the mean time we will be making several and building up a little bit of inventory.  Once the llc stuff is done we will be launching a web store.  I'm optimistic that we will be opening the store about two weeks from now.

Ahh that makes sense. I hope the shop goes well!
