Hey guys I've started this new company called Herocentric to create customized phone covers, posters and t-shirts and I'm looking for riders to sponsor with various levels of support who can help me spread the word about it around the country. Send a short resume to paul@herocentric.com and a note explaining why you'd make a good brand ambassador for
Herocentric


Here's one of the cover designs coming out soon.

Nice looking product and great looking website! I am sure you are getting plenty of know it all advice and I get you need to make a profit, but the pricing seems a bit high....at least higher than I have paid for similiar product...

Just out of curiosity how much was yours, where'd you get it and did they custom color the graphics to go with your photo? I also retouch all the photos in Photoshop so they look as good as possible.

I've seen the stuff Paul does and the picture quality on the case is excellent.
Some places will be cheaper but they just slap whatever pic you send on and that's it.

If you are looking at that picture everyday.....and on a phone who isn't......lol. It's well worth it.

I will be adding Samsung Galaxy SIII's soon as well as iPods and iPads. These are actual cases that add some protection to your phone, not just a skin.

Try to get one of the pros so you can have them answer their phone in the middle of an interview!

That would be so funny, "Excuse me Erin, I have to take this call. Oh my phone cover? Cool huh?"

They look great, and price seems pretty reasonable to me for a custom case.

Don't forget to read that first post, this is about finding riders to sponsor as well.

Get a resume in to Paul and if you're a good rep for the brand........

Can we get a side shot or oblique to see the actual "case"?

Sorry Bacon but I don't have a copy of WordStar on my Mac. Can you at least upgrade to MicrosoftWrite and re-send it?

Didn't you win some kind of chicks championship or something?

Found most of my old B&W Buckley photos from the mid 80's but can't find my old Moto Sport magazines. This thread reminds me to ransack my basement this winter looking for those things. Sorry to get off topic.

Not trying to knock your price, just trying to help you sell more. It is a tad high, which might scary off customers.

Ex.
- That's about half the cost of a basic iphone.
- Nice phone case's are around that price
- Most Screen protectors and vinyl backs are between $10-$20. I understand yours are custom.

My qualifications, I work with paint protection film and vinyl for a living. IMO $25-30 would be the perfect price.

just to clarify....is it a decal or a complete protective cover?

pretty sweet BTW....

They're complete covers, the artwork is sublimated onto the aluminum back panel and that makes the design super durable.
