Oh Thank You!  You have a Valentines Day sale after the point at which it could get shipped in time for the holiday itself.  GREAT!  I’ll be with my girlfriend all weekend and without internet access so I can’t even participate because of the measly 2 day window.  Thanks for nothing ####, you idiot.

I am so over the ####/iSkin cases. I’ll stick to fabric cases—at least those don’t scratch my iPod (oh wait, the belt clip on the iSkin broke and I lost my iPod, nevermind).

Wow, those iPodArt cases look nice. Never noticed them before. The website is crap, though, and doesn’t work as well as it should in Mozilla (I don’t think?).

I guess it’s easy to sell ‘em 2-for-1 when you don’t have any to sell.  This guy is a dickweed.

Over 7,000 products have sold during the 2 for 1 and this is as of 10:pm New York time. With that type of action it is easy to understand why some products, colors, iPodArt cases are sold out.

Let’s see, 7,000 products at an average of $20 a pop (conservative assumption) and divided by 2 (assuming all products sold were based on a 2 for 1 deal) = $70,000. Not bad for a day’s worth of work.  ####, want a business partner???

I must be in the same group of idiots that bought one of the 7,000 products during the 1st day of my 2 day Valentine special. Different strokes for different fokes.

when are you going to release a case that will allow me full functionality of the ipod while in the dock.  i want a #### case that i can use everywhere and never have to take off for anything. 

i have bought exo 1, and 2.  1 was nice.  2 was ehh.  The case was the same, except for the button and wheel covers…which seriously handicapped my ipod use.  the top 4 didn’t work at all, and the wheel was about 75%.  i then took my dremel to the case sanded down the back 4 button noticing that the silicon was thicker on the buttons than on the wheel.  i evened them out, and thier use was increased…..slightly, yet still didn’t allow me to use it error free.  i also enlarged the headphone and hold holes, as they are a bit small, and annoying to shove my finger in there to put it on hold.  also please incorporate a dock cover into the bottom.  nice touch when thrown in my pocket throughout most of the day.

so -
full coverage, fully dockable ipod case with larger holes on top for headphone and hold.  and a dock cover.

then i’ll buy from you again.  until then.  my ipod stays in its stock case.

####, if we purchase items that are out of stock, will we still get the two-for-one or is the sale limited to what’s in stock?

I have read a lot about #### and his exo cases. I bought 520 cases during his Valentine Special and I must say that not only are his prices fair to resellers during his special but his site had me in and out within minutes. Today I got my noticed that my order is shipped. I was one of the ones that got a letter from his competitor stating not to buy and I did not for a few months but this weekend I decided to go with the flow.

Great to hear you got 520 cases, but I think most of us are concerned with buying one or two (or perhaps three). And I’ve sent him e-mail requesting info and didn’t get a response, and I didn’t get a response to my post herein during the Valentine’s promotion, so I’ll just pass on ####—after all, he managed to sell you 520 of the suckers in minutes, so I’m sure he’s not too concerned about my interest in one of his cases

Incidentally, if you didn’t catch the sarcasm, my point was that it’s wonderful he’s making resellers all warm and fuzzy; he should stick to selling to resellers because buying one (1) #### case is not a simple procedure. It’s a shame the interface and the service is what it is, because I would have liked to buy from him, but c’est la vie.

In 2 days we had over 1,500 individuals buy and their product was shipped on Tuesday morning 1 day after the promotion.  If you do the numbers that is over 3,000 items sold to individuals in 2 days.  I am not bragging but at the same time I am not bowing my head in disappointment. The individual customer is and will always be the core of our business whether it be our individual customers or our resellers’ customers. I do not pretend that we will satisfy all parties but we will make every effort to do so.  Our resellers got great value and will pass that onto their customers.  I am glad to hear that our ordering system can handle large orders and save our dealers time. Soon that will be improved with an express menu for all the products we carry.  The next promotion is being prepared.
