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.
