Hmm in this goal, why not Openmoko.com to sell "blank" case, non finished ones, witout any painting, just to be customized/adapted later ?<br><br>I don't think only with painting, but integrate an eye cam or other expansion pack, or wifi external connectors for example...<br>
<br>Even one water proof why not :) <br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 16, 2008 at 6:02 PM, Steven ** <<a href="mailto:montgoss%2Bopenmokocommunity@gmail.com">montgoss+openmokocommunity@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

They do injection molding of various plastics in "many" colors.<br>
