Re: Smart Phone Cases

Post by socialgiraffe »

Hi Guys

I have been asked by one of my clients to source mobile phone covers. Most of them are readily available by either Longforte or BMS which is good. However there are a few below that they do not stock. Some of the phones I have not even heard of but apparently they are big in the Asian market which is where they expect to sell a lot of them (go figure, made in China, shipped to UK and printed, then shipped back!!!!)

If anyone knows where I can source the covers for the phones below I would be grateful for the info. My client is expecting to place a small order at first of about 250 covers for each phone make.

Nokia Asha 200
Nokia Asha 201 Microsoft Omnia (Generic Windows Mobile)
Nokia C3-00
Nokia X2-01
BlackBerry 9700/Onyx
Nokia C1-01

I really think you will struggle to find most of them for sublimation. Haven't seen any of them versions from the main exporters.

You'd be best scouring AliBaba. Your best bet may be to source blank plastic covers for vacuum sublimation, rather than the printed aluminium type.

You are not wrong there S31teg.

Interestingly though, the request for these cases has come from the owners of the website who are able to determine what smart phones are being used. The above list were the most popular after iphone, blackberry and galaxy.

But the website is a worldwide one so I suspect these are covers for other markets.

Hello

I cant be that wrong, as you cant buy cases for the phones listed, if they were that popular they would be able to buy easily.

In my experience people are not that bothered about cases for lower end phones more so for higher end phones.

I didn't say you are wrong. My thread said you are NOT wrong :smile:

These are not lower end phones though and are all state of the art smartphones. Only problem is that they are popular in the Asian market and not here.
