Super Tough Cases by CASE-iD

Hi Guys,

We thought we'd share a typical afternoon at the CASE-iD offices, usually all our rigorous testing goes un noticed but in this video we test our new 3D sublimation ToughCases to the max! I put my own iPhone 5 on the line here. See what happens when I take a hammer to my phone :-(........Check out what happens at the end to a competitors case!
Available for iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, Note 2. Please e-mail me for any info, ben.swift@case-id.com

I know, I did the same test with the tough case without my phone in it. Trust me my screen would have shattered with the "alternative" case. I would have loved to show it but it wasn't worth breaking my phone over!

Just a little off topic did you order those samples from Xpres for the JelliSkins?


Ben.

Get yourself some £5 dummy phones off eBay like I have for showing off cases :-)

I had a sample from you direct before Xpres had them..

I loved the idea but with the images I tend to press (photographic images.. and usually of Huskies lol) there was definite shadowing from the depth that made the image look a little odd.. maybe it was because the test I did was a lighter image.. and might have looked better with a darker one..

The idea of a middle ground between the case and a sticker though is awesome.. and would consider it in the future with different images maybe..

I don't do 'I' anything.. lol.. more a Samsung kinda gal.. so seriously, it wouldn't hurt trying the case with the phone in ;)

Hi Renni,

Did you noticed 3 out of the 4 models of tough cases are Samsung? Looks like we are the company for you!

Hi Ben

Good video and great product as are your jelliskin's.

A little off topic here but worth mentioning. The only way to advertise this is by video as you have done. However if I passed on the link to your video to my customers they would then know the make and manufacturer of the cases. There would be nothing to stop them going to you direct. Now, I am not saying that you would "steal" one of my customers but one of the reasons I never put videos of blank products on my site is because there are some blank product suppliers out there who also print them and subsequently I would not even get a sniff at quoting even though I had presented the idea.

Is there any chance that you would consider creating end user videos? By this I mean simply showcasing the product but without contact details and to a point of even even a utube user name that is not relevant to anything.

Just a thought but I think there are quite a few people on here that would be willing to forward on your video's to their clients if it was 100% unbranded.

I maybe talking utter rubbish here so it would be good to see other members opinion on this.

P.S. Please do not think it is a dig at you as I do not even know if you do offer a printing service, it is more a gripe at all suppliers :-)

Yet to dip my toe into 3D sublimation.. but definitely an item that would be an asset to my business if I do :)

I do agree with Simon on this one with video advertising though.. if it had details of where my stock came from on it.. I wouldn't be passing it on to anyone either especially if that site had prices available to the public on it..

Hi,

We also have a white JelliSkin which is now our most popular, that does give you better image clarity.

Thanks

Ben

Thanks for taking the time to write that constructive e-mail, I really appreciate it. So do you think some blank branded marketing videos for the actual product would allow you to freely market it on your customized product website. We just film and edit our own videos and I've never thought they were professional enough for official advertising, we like to think of them as quite informal. I hate those boring technical marketing videos, we have some new videos coming soon and we are just finalizing the launch of some more products,

Thanks

Ben

Blank branded (or more commonly known as end user) items are always good for me.

In an ideal world there would be two videos for each item, one for us to market and then another for us to see how they are printed (temp times etc etc). However the "technical" one could be just details on your website. Alternatively contact Paul on here who makes great independent video reviews showing all the technical requirements and how to's, I am sure he would create them for you if he had some freebies to play with!

As a B2B supplier one of the problems I have is getting pictures and/or videos where the supplier of blank product is not advertised. This is particularly important for me as price is a key factor when one of my customers takes something on, if they see who produces the blanks they would then seek out the price of the blank and use this to negotiate better rates. Ideally for something like an iphone case then no more than 15 seconds (customers have a very short attention span :-)) would be great. I would send the link from you tube or if I ever get round to it would embed the video in my website (which I have yet to create!!!).

Another thing to consider is a skin site. Larger promo manufacturing companies like Listawood do these. Essentially they are an unbranded website showcasing their products. As you have to be a trade supplier to be a customer of Listawood it is a great way for them to allow their customers to show case Listawood products to the end user. It also means that if they introduce new items to the market they can at the drop of a hat. No prices or contact details are on the site and most agents (i.e. us) use frames within their own website so it ends up branded as XXX PROMO or ABC MERCH. This is why you will see the same image for dye sub mugs (for example) on so many websites. This is because they are using a skin site provided by one of their suppliers.

Sorry to ramble on and go way off topic and I hope it all helps.

Those on here that supply builders or construction firms would be particularly interested in this item

On another note, I was asked recently about glow in the dark jelliskins. As I have a Versacamm I was thinking of creating these myself by doming, but to be honest I have not got round to doing anything about it yet. Is this something you could manufacture and if so what would the price be on 500? You can PM me if you like however I am sure that others would like to see prices of something like this so you may as well publish a full price list on here :-)

LOL Honestly! I wanted to do that two weeks a go! I was thinking about jeliskin myself :)

I totally agree with the videos Paul does.. if you want something test printed up to show others how well they print.. Paul is your guy :)
