Hello Everyone
I need to give you all an update on the Flowers cases you ordered. Last week was a Chinese holiday and so we lost most of the week. I was not satisfied with the first two prototypes and made several changes. You all know what a nit picky person I am so it's take a week longer to get the case done exactly as I wanted it.
As of today the cases will be finished at the rate of 1 per day. I have had 18 paid orders and 4 more orders that are as yet unpaid.
Those of you who have not paid me it's no big deal if you don't want the case when it's done. I just won't inscribe your name along with the serial number of the case.
Each Flowers case will have a serial number stating the year and production number. IBA's case for example is 2008-001. So any cases which are made to order but not personalized with a name tooled onto it will be up for sale if not paid for by the time they are completed.
Sorry for the delay. Because I started accepting orders beyond the original setup (that being only two colors and one interior style) I decided to go all the way and really make this case much more than Jay Flowers did.
We now offer two types of interior - tubes in the Instroke style and a more padded version of the Prolite style. In addition I have decided to make the handle attach with a loop through a ring on one side and still be detachable via a snap. We have redesigned the handles and straps to have a better appearance and be stronger. And each case come's with a maker's mark bearing the brand and serial number on it. Every single case will be numbered as it's made, uniquely identifying it for all time.
In addition to the things I outlined above I expanded the color choices to over twenty colors and opened the choice of sizes to whatever the customer wants.
So it's fairly ambitious to launch a project like this based on two prototypes. The idea has been with me for a long time and I guess if I didn't do it now then I probably never would. I hope that those of you who ordered can bear with me for a few more days as we begin to deliver the cases this week. If anyone wants to drop out then feel free to email me for a complete refund. Otherwise I think you find the resulting case will be well worth the wait. Also - IF anyone is not happy for any reason with the case they receive then I will give a full refund or make a new case - your choice.
Thanks everyone for reading this - I will update the thread with pictures of finished cases (without revealing who bought them) as they are done.
