I just got off the phone with Keith. He is working on the long cases and it looks like the first batch is going to be clear anodized...that is a silver color case.

These will not be ready for a couple of weeks, and when they go to the anodizer I will post that we are ready to take orders.

I have had a few folks trying to order...which I appreciate, but I would prefer to not start transfering money until the cases are just about ready.

Thanks for all your interest and watch for an update soon.

Thank you Randy!!

In for a couple.

Keith just sent off the Long cases to the anodizer and expects them back next week.

We are ready to start taking orders for the longs and of course any standard cases you want.

Long REI cases in clear anodized (silver) only, Standard cases in red, black or clear anodized aluminum, and brass.

Prices for the REI long is $21, standards are $19 each. Postage is $4 in the US and $5 for international addresses for up to 5 cases.

I am taking next week off, but will be checking the email address for orders. There will potentially be a couple of extra days during this process.

Thanks for your early requests to order and I look forward to any new orders you place.

Please send your requests to

rlschaffer@gmail.com

I will tally your totals and then ask for a paypal transfer.

Thanks,
Randy

I have returned from my nice long holiday. I tried to keep up with orders while I was relaxing but was a tad slow.

I have not heard from Keith if these long cases have returned from the anodizer but expect that they are either back or due very soon.

Thanks to all who have ordered. Our supply is still very good for the clear anodized aluminum long case, and standard length brass, and red, black and clear anodized aluminum.

I just ordered one for myself and another for my soon-to-be Boy Scout son!!

My frustration with packaging REI waterproof matches has been resolved.

Thanks Randy

Ken....you are welcome. Let me know how the two of you like these.

Keith has told me that the long cases are on the way back to him from the anodizer....may arrive today, so all orders currently awaiting will be going out this week or the beginning of next.

I cannot wait...I have 2 on order. Apparently Keith made some slight knurling changes to the prototype to give it a better look and feel.

I have received orders for about 3 dozen of these cases so far, so there are plenty more in this first run batch of 120.

That's good to hear. I've been thikning that the two I ordered may not be enough once I see them in person!

Cases just arrived in Keith's hands. They hope to have all orders shipped by this Friday.

I may need a few more too. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Cases are shipping. I got mine today and I think they turned out very nice.

About 60% of the first run are sold.....thanks to all the orders folks.
