Hello,
Outside of my hobbying I own a plastics manufacturing company, we make Point of Purchase displays for retailers.
This is my company's website: http://www.algarplastics.com/
Anyhow, a few weeks ago I was siting with my buddy Fawad, and he asked me if it would be possible to make "One-Touch" cases thick enough for ALL Dual Shields, Draft Boards, Sweet Spot/Shot, etc. After developing a few samples and making adjustments I am happy to say that I now have a product to sell.
I am showing scans with a Draft Board because I do not have a Dual Shield on hand to demonstrate, as my Price/Roy has not been redeemed yet. We did full tests on Fawad's Messier/Crosby from 08/09 so we know it fits no problem.
My "One-Touch" is hand fabricated, which of course requires a lot more cost then Ultra-Pro's injection molded version which they make by the thousands out of a mold which probably costs around $50,000. There are only 2 real visible differences between Ultra-Pro's version and my version. The first difference is that the inner sides of my version has a frosted finish. There is no way around this because we cannot get our diamond cutter inside this space. The second difference is that where Ultra-Pro uses a 2 teeth hook in system, I used 1 long bar.
I feel my version is stronger, and it also allows me to get around any patent issues.
The price for these "One-Touches" will be between $10 & $12 USD, depending on how many you order. Shipping is not included in the unit price.
I have the first 30 pcs coming off my line mid-end of next week, 10 of those are going to Fawad. The other 20 are available for purchase. Depending on the hobby community's response and interest I will decide how quickly and in what quantity I will do another run, as it is far too costly for me to have my factory produce these 1 at a time. If there is good interest, my factory can churn out a run quite quickly.
I CAN MAKE THESE HOLDERS THICKER STILL, SO IF YOU ARE BUYING THESE FOR ANYTHING THICKER THEN DUAL SHIELDS, DRAFT BOARDS, SWEET SHOT/SPOT PLEASE MESSAGE ME.
PM me with any questions or purchases.
Thank You,
Sean
