NEW Carbon Fiber Laptop Cases are available for PRE-ORDER

Finally our first 100% real Carbon Fiber Laptop Case!

Bringing the stylish look and ruggedness of our carbon iPhone cases to a lightweight ultra protective carbon fiber laptop case has been a goal of ours for a long time and we are very proud to announce that they are finaly here!  Utilizing 100% real carbon fiber, we have produced a laptop case unlike any other. The incredibly tough outer shell is made with 6 layers of authentic 3k twill weave carbon fiber. It's complimented with an interior made up of soft and conforming protective foam. A simple to use zipper closer features an internal flap for additional protection. All this is topped off with a highly scratch resistant, yet beautiful high gloss finish to create an incredibly unique laptop case.
The laptop case will fit all 13" Macbook, all 13" Macbook Pro, and the Macbook Air as well as several 13" Sony, Dell, and IBM laptops.  The maximum fitting laptop dimensions are 1.10" x 13.10" x 9.25"

The carbon laptop cases are pre-order and will be shipping late January / early February.

Our professionally done photos will be up in about a week along with a longer list of compatible laptops.

 

 

Thanks again for reading and the feedback!

Carbon Fiber Laptop Cases are almost here

So after a long long wait and many hour of work, our DRO Concepts Carbon Fiber Laptop Cases are almost ready to roll out.  Here are some sneak peak photos of a prototype we got from our engineering guys. We will have many more next week and our photos for the website should be available very soon. More details about the fit and design can be found here.

Compatibility:
All 13" Apple Macbooks and 13" Apple Macbook Pro, Apple Macbook Air, and several 13" Sony, Dell, and IBM laptops. A complete list coming in SOON!

Production versions of the case will be constructed with a quasi-isotropic layup which varies the orientation of the carbon layers depending on the location for increased strength and will be finished with a beautiful final clear coated layer of 3k twill weave carbon fiber.  As seen below.

Here is a couple quick photos of a prototype top half of the carbon fiber shell.  ( missing the clear coat finish and the soft foam lining )

Here is a shot of the the inside of the case (where the soft foam liner will be installed) 

And finally here is a quick peak at one of our production molds. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this sneak peak into what is coming in the future weeks at DRO Concepts.

Please let us know your thoughts and ideas.  We are always looking for feedback and suggestions.

Thanks again and have a great evening.

Faster Turn Around and New Carbon Fiber Laptop Cases.

First things first, we have made up a lot of ground over the last week and are now going to be shipping within 24 hours (starting today!)  We have had good luck with FedEx and they have been shipping orders quickly and with almost no mix-ups.  So we are very excited to keep moving forward.

Our next step will be our new carbon fiber laptop cases that have been in development for a while now.  They will fit all of the 13" Apple Macbook and Macbook Pro lines as well as some other 13" laptops from Dell, IBM, and Sony.  We are still working on compiling a complete list.  The new laptop case is about 3-weeks away from being up on the site and we will have more details and photos soon.  Look for the new carbon fiber laptop cases to be in a 3K twill weave with a high gloss finish as well as a 3K twill weave but with a Texalium (silver) finish.  The price tag is still being finalized.   Feel free to post or shoot us an email if you have any questions. 

Thanks for reading,

Increasing Production with brand new Tooling = decreasing delays

In our continuing efforts to improve our service and products we are going to be adding new molds and tooling to our production line to increase the number of cases we can produce.  We are very excited as this new tooling will essentially double our production output.  Which means more cases delivered to our customers much much quicker.

However this also mean a brief delay in shipping for first few weeks of September.  Customers are more than welcome to continue to place orders but please note we will not be able to begin shipping again until middle or end of September. 

These first few weeks of September will be spent

• -on production of the new tooling and molds.
• -implementing the brand new tooling into out current production line.
• -adding additional quality control measures and staff
  
• -switching entirely from USPS to FedEx for much more secure shipping, as well as faster delivery options, and real time tracking.
  
• -last but not least development of a new product.
  

We are a fairly new and upcoming company and are very committed to bringing the best and most unique products around.  We want to thank everyone for their feedback, support, and patience as we continue to try and bring our customers the most stylish, technologically advanced, cases money can buy.

Thanks and have a great weekend,
Everyone @ DRO Concepts

Carbon Fiber iPhone 3GS / 3G Pre-Orders shipping now.

Thanks for everyone for their support and patience.  With the great response from customers, we were unable to process every pre-order in one single day. So our pre-orders have begun shipping and will be going out in the order in which they were received.  We figure that's the fairest way for everyone :)

All of our domestic orders will be shipping through USPS priority mail and usually take 2-3 business days to arrive.  Our international orders will be shipping USPS global priority mail and will take between 6-9 business days to arrive.  Tracking numbers and shipping details will be sent out along with customer notification. 

Thanks again for your support.  We hope you LOVE your new carbon iPhone cases.
