View Full Version : Rubber protective cases for EFILive FlashScan interface modules

I have tooled up rubber cases to help protect the EFILive FlashScan interface modules. Right now I am making them just in black or orange. I can do custom colors in volume if a company wants some specific color (minimum 25-35 piece volume required depending on the color).

The orange is more visible so that might make it less likely to get left behind in a customer vehicle etc.

Here are pictures:

These are being done on low volume tooling so only a couple can be made a day (FlashScan cable isn't an iPhone after all).

If you use the analog inputs and outputs you will need to trim some of the rubber away around the connector position you plan to use.

The black ones are selling for $49.99 plus shipping and the orange ones are $54.99 plus shipping on my web site. $5 more in my ebay store (to cover the ebay fees).

More pictures of the case from different angles etc are on my web site as well:

Hey, those are real nice :cheers:

the bright orange one gives V2 a Fluke multimeter lookish (altho Fluke uses bright yellow).

I like it! Great idea. Any chance that the price could be lowered a bit?

Yeah, that color idea came from the Fluke and other test equipment with similar covers.

I wish I could but with low volume tooling the parts are fairly labor intensive. As it is I am not sure I will ever recover the tooling cost. If I thought I could sell a lot of them I would go to hard tooling but that is several thousand dollars and I don't think enough V2 cables exist to justify that.

Not yet but they fit in a flat rate small USPS box so shipping shouldn't be too bad ($24.75).

Get them while they are still available. Not sure we will make more when these are all sold.

Get them made in China for about $1.25 per case.

Tooling is cheaper but still expensive on a per unit basis and finding/vetting vendors for a low cost/low volume project like this is hard enough already without having them be thousands of miles away (not to mention the possible language barrier).

I have used overseas manufacturers for some projects but for the types of volumes we are usually involved in it often doesn't make a lot of sense to do so.

If this was a cell phone case that I thought we could sell thousands of then it might be worthwhile (but then we would have hundreds of competitors too).

FYI - if you are looking to have companies all over the world (and right next door too) quote on manufacturing projects this web site is great way to do so:

https://www.mfg.com/

You put your design up on the site and companies send you quotes.

Yeah, have seen that site when looking for a producer of plastic products for a product we are thinking about selling soon. Thanks for the reminder.
