limited edition runs, sign the backs of them and number each one, release them as limited edition sets with a common theme, use unique mediums for the stickers which make them stand-out

this is NOT stupid!

no worries man. 

i hope things calm down a bit for you!

^ or if i removed the battery compartment altogether on an alternative back? 

would it fit then?  with room for a li-po battery pack too possibly?  (i don't have one yet)

just curious.....  i may/maynot by considering something like that

yes.  that will happen,

i was considering altering the coloring approach slightly in fact and making it less sporadic (from my perspective, at least).  doing colorway sets, 'series' i guess.  i went up to the mountains this past week and there is going to be a blue ridge mountain colorway for sure.  a fade from dark blue to light purples.  maybe 4-5 colors in a set, sell them as a group for less.  and offer each color on its own as well. 

along with more color matching and support to the pantone system since its showing up in retail shops in paint, etc.

wink

2013 is gonna be a busy year its looking like.  finally a lot of things are wrapping up.  maybe it was just me but the past year seems sort of chaotic and a lot didn't gel to get released

we do plan on clear neon pink.  maybe slightly different than the last run of neon pink we did (i may adjust the shade a bit), but yeah.

ok...  i'll start making moves towards metal buttons...  enough vocal interest to at least manage one run i think.  since the button design already exists it shouldn't be too hard to adjust it for this type of project.  much easier than working from scratch.

@ ashimoke -- i had some samples done like this and found around the edges of the button holes and on the edge lip of the case it was very very easy to chip/peel this coating off.  so for users i just saw too many problems.  however, i'll look back into it (they were just samples after all, which tend to be just representative sometimes).  loomis sent some samples of some knock-off cases in silver and gold that looked pretty good, seemed to be something similar but thinner and bonded to the plastic (but not just metal-effect paint).  i'm sending those samples out to my plastics people to see what they think and to try to recreate this look.

how many people would be interested in such a product?

if there is actually interest, i wouldn't mind taking up the challenge.  i just don't see the interest level being high enough though...  (at least not to have each set cost way too much money)
