Re: Taking suggestions for new custom products

Keep the ideas coming, we are considering all of them. We might not be able to do all of them, but we can sure do some of them. Speaking of which, does anybody like this prototype minimag bezel:

The pictures are a little blurry and the finished product will not be that color, but I think you get the idea. Any interest?

Re: Taking suggestions for new custom products

Yes!

Any interest?

YES!!

Nice looking bezel.

Man... I'm getting off the SF lego-ism for while for the purpose of reducing costs (just finished lamenting to another CPF'er about this), and you have to go revive my predilection toward Minimag-o-ism. :ohgeez:

Oh well...

Requesting both shiny red, and shiny black, matching OEM colors closely as possible.

I have "purpose" for both colors. :crazy:

Paypal locked and loaded, I hate to say... lol.

Sorry to fuel your addiction...I mean predilection:laughing:

Multiple color options, as close to the same as the original colors, is the plan. No ETA yet but we're working on it.

I thought there would be more interest in the minimag bezel...? Should we skip this project and start working on something else?

Maybe you could take all the suggestions and make a poll or list to see exactly how many people are interested in each item?

Sounds like a good idea. I think so far we have:
Minimag bezel
Mag C to D adapter
Larger Mag Head
Smaller Mag Head
Mag Glow switch cover
Tailcap Switch
Minimag 3A switch + heatsink
Custom C/D Mag switches inc deep/lanyard/etc.
Deeper Mag Bezel
Battery Carriers
18650 tube with C head
Surefire compatible bezels
Surefire compatible switches
Flatter XCapeCap

I think that's most or all of the ideas so far, I'll take another look to make sure and post a poll later today or tomorrow.

It's a bit too long and forky for my liking.
I'd really like to see something like this:

Re: Taking suggestions for new custom products

I like the shortest of Orcinus' proposals. The others are simply too long.

Both of those are the same length, actually :p
The only difference is the color (i left it lighter in the first one to better differentiate the bezel from the rest of the mini-mag).

I like most of the ideas here, but thought I'd chime in and support the less aggressive bezel. Or produce both --there are millions of mags out there.

How about a bezel that accepts clip-in color filters? or does someone hold a patent on that :(

Also, not sure if this fits your theme, but multipurpose gadgets for automotive use seem the way to go. If we have a window breaker, why not add a whistle, an empty chamber for a firestarter/survival supplies, etc. It could be a case that accepts a mini-mag as a slide-in. That way every mini mag owner would "need" one of these, and you can expand bezel, tailcap, and elsewhere on the add-on case. Adding GITD / reflector/ signal mirror, seat-belt cutter are always good, too.

Best of luck in your projects.

Regards,

Mark
