@rrhoover Hey Ryan! Super excited to see you here! :-)
The reason behind the pricing is because of the process that goes into making each one. All the products are handcrafted in Pittsburgh by experienced Craftsmen, and there are 120 steps required to achieve a product of such a high quality ( approximately 1 hour per product).
While there are number of companies that are selling cheaper machine-made copy cats, we did not want to do that. It was super important for the team and I, that we produce a high-quality product. The interior is covered by a thin Ultrasuede layer which protects the iPhone from losing it’s shine as well.
Taking these factors into account, we decided that the current price was about right considering the quality and aesthetics of our products.
I would never say anything negative, but I have done business with you before, after your PH launch. Your support was non-existent from email to Twitter for issues with the laptop covers. However, you still found time to RT folks who had great things to say about your product. I really hope this has been addressed with a new product coming out.
@ryanmtaylor I am sorry to read that you had a bad experience with Glitty's customer service. I am aware that you might have experienced ups and downs during our first months, but the service we offer today is completely different. We spent a lot of time rethinking how we should treat our customers to ensure quick and quality service in English and French. You can gladly send me a message if your problem is still not resolved (mi@glitty.co) . :-)
Once again, I sincerely apologise, for any misgivings that might have happened.
Hello PH community!
Around a year back, we launched Glitty on Product Hunt - Premium wooden covers for the MacBook. The community really loved it and it was around this time we decided that we should expand our range of products beyond MacBook covers!
So after more than 8 months of hard work, we’ve managed to deliver a product we are super proud of - a super slim, stylish, top quality wooden cover for the iPhone (YES, 6 and 7 haha)
We have a special discount for all of you - use the coupon code HUNT-15% during check-out to avail the 15% discount.
I’m going to be here, so feel free to ask me any questions :-)!
@neilson hey Mike! Glad to see you on PH. Yes, we worked with @izemmour closely for more than 8 months to design, develop, and produce these cases for Glitty. They are made with sawdust and passion in Pittsburgh!
There is always a market for luxury iPhone accessories (mostly cases), and people who are willing to spend a lot of money on accessories goods. But I could never convince myself to spend this much $ on a Case, which can get boring after a while. The case looks Slick and Sexy though! :)
@shahinix Glad that you liked it! As you say, the market exists. Indeed, I am aware of the investment that it represents for my customers. But market products manufactured in Asia seemed inconceivable to me. I really wanted to create something manufactured in the United States to continue the initial branding. :-)
