[IC] Galaxy Print Keyboard Sleeves
« on: Tue, 07 February 2017, 18:31:55 »
Galaxy Print Keyboard Sleeves


Hello everyone!

I want to see how many people would be interested in some galaxy print sleeves.
The construction of the sleeves is a spandex outer layer (galaxy print), high loft padding middle and fleece lined interior.
A neutral color paracord will be used accompanied with your choice of cord stop.



Pricing

There is enough fabric remaining to do about 50-60 sleeves, maybe more depending on the sizes chosen.
The price would be around $24 per bag with 40%, 60%, 65%, and 75% sizing.

- $3.50 CONUS Shipping
- I'll have worldwide shipping but i need to evaluate the best price.

Production schedule

The fabric is already on hand, just need to choose paracord color and purchase cord stops.

- Accept orders on switchsmith.co - 2 weeks or until quantity has been met.
- 2 week production
- Ship following week once bulk order arrives.

I'd love one. Outside of CONUS though, here's hoping you find suitable shipping!

The prototypes are well underway! There are a few iterations right now but making a few more to get the materials and colors just right! The final choices will be posted in the Geekhack thread at the discretion of OCloudNine and ___ and the others will be sold in my shop!

I'll definitely be shipping worldwide. I just want to make sure the shipping is appropriate for each region so it will vary for certain areas.

And here I am sitting here with a B.mini EX D: I guess another thing to add to the list of downsides to not using small boards.

Good day Doutcat,
I'll suggest this as a 40% start, www.mechkeys.ca/product/mechmini/
& it's less than 100 USD & you have the option of choosing an acrylic or aluminum case.....

Just wanted to stop by and give bigbird a shout out. He actually made me a custom sized galaxy sleeve a while back, for the same cost as the original price! Here's a picture, the fabric is soft and velvet like with a nice shine to it. Pictures don't do it justice.

The buy period is right around the corner! Just working out a few logistical details but should open up in the next day or two. A few things...

-Limited to about 60 sleeves
-Will offer international shipping
-Offering 6 sleeve sizes up to full size
-The toggle color will only be black and not the option of red or blue like I anticipated

Not necessarily. These are made to order but we are offering 6 possible different sizes with an estimated amount of fabric to be able to make 60 sleeves. We may be able to make more but depends on the sizes that are ordered. If they are all 40% sizes then that number will go up.

I'll be in for a 40% galaxy sleeve. BTW, Big Bird, I'm enjoying my 40% Puzzle & Nebula sleeves!
