Custom Lamborghini and F40 Wooden Phone Cases

Hey, everyone. I've been taking a break from LP to work on my business/inventions. LP keeps me pretty distracted during the week, so I think I've been doing pretty well away. It's helping me keep my goals in mind.

 

I've been ordering parts and typing all week and took a break the last two nights to make these phone covers. I needed to take a break or I was going to go crazy. The covers are made out of real wood from a company called CARVED, but I designed the cases in my free time and if anyone is interested, I can send them the email address to pull up one of the cases and purchase from the company. Just drop me a PM. The cases are $44 shipped and $3 extra international. I've already ordered one of a Countach DD I made and the Huracan one for myself.

 

The cases are shown for the 5C iPhone, but if I send you the link to order one, you can adjust it on the options to whatever phone you have, (delete my name of course) and change whatever options or wood type you like. I am not making or collecting ANY money off of this, I just designed the cases from internet stock photos and tweaked them quite a bit to get them to shadow them right. If anyone happens to notice a picture that belongs to them, feel free to let me know and I'll gladly take it off. :icon_thumleft: The only people that can view them are you guys on the forum and me. I just thought I'd share in case anyone wants one.

 

So far I have:

Looks solid man, I dig it.

 

now here is some business advice, make them with a mustang, camaro, and Plastic mess-06 corvette. You just expanded your market base by 1000000.

 

look at screening the image over CF.

Excellent idea and execution :icon_thumleft:

 

 

Awesome stuff dude! I hope you ell the sh*t out of those :icon_thumleft:

 

 

Thanks guys! :) I decided to start selling them. $63.00 in price (negotiable). I decided to do it for fun, but changed my mind once a bunch of people started showing interest. I'll even do cases at people's request. It's easy work and gives me extra money to put away.

I'm sorry, too much? I made it price negotiable. They cost $44 to make from carved, so anything over that, is what I'm making off of it and putting towards my other endeavors. :) I'm just selling the designs. Not expecting to make a business out of it or anything, just a little side project.

 

They look better than life proof cases and are much cheaper! :)

Love your drive and desire to succeed. Just playing little Devil's Advocate trying to anticipate unforeseen issues.

Google phone cases/prices and see what's out there.

I am pretty sure OP hasn't received an actual sample yet.

 

 

He comes up with design and the company CARVED put it on their wooden case and for $44 ship it to him.

 

And he plans to charge a bit extra for the designs of lambos he came up.

 

 

 

Ian, this is small peanuts and your barrier to competition is so thin it's not worth it. I'm not sure you could even sell these on ebay due to legal issues, but if you could that's what I'd do, sell first tell them 2-3 weeks for shipping, order after.

Wait... how do these cost $44/each to make? You need to cut that in half at your price point.

Rawr is right. I'm really just the middle man who design the cases and would send them off to Carved. I was getting the hint that most people didn't pick up on that, but it's all good. I'm not really invested in this and figured that I could make a few bucks on the side with this once I discovered a few people here showed interest along with some people on Facebook. You're probably right about the copyright infringement, yada, yada. In that case, everyone help themselves. I've really got much more important things I'm focusing on at the moment, and did this for fun. :) If you want a case just go to:

 

The Carved Website

Go to custom cases

Go to Load designs

Type in my Email: [email protected] and select whatever you like and tweak it to your needs. :)
