Case Stickers
« on: December 13, 2015, 00:13:25 »

It's become apparent that the stickers on the AstroEQ case are not holding up very well. The most recent few (one's sent since September-ish) seem to be particularly bad, curling up at the edges. This didn't seem to happen originally (or not that I have seen), and so I think the people who supply them must have changed their process or something.

Anyway, given that the sticker on the test controller I have been playing around with looks pretty terrible now, I am looking at changing the type of labels used. The metallic version number stickers seem to be holding up much better than the vinyl stickers, so based on that I have ordered a new batch of stickers that use the metallic material as the base.

Once these stickers have arrived, and if they perform a much better job than the original vinyl ones, I am planning to make them available as replacements free of charge to people who have purchased an AstroEQ from me, and for whom the sticker on the case has become a complete mess - especially likely for those who have placed an order recently. Please note that the stickers I am getting printed are for Version 4.5 controllers, but if necessary I can order some for Version 4.4 as well. Unfortunately, because the position of the holes and labels has changed as I have refined the case design, the artwork doesn't suit the older controller versions (4.3 and lower). I have made regular file backups over the years, so it is possible that I can find an older version of the artwork in a backup somewhere, but no promises there.

I feel I should apologise for the look of the stickers, originally they seemed to be of quite high quality, but that turns out not to be the case.

The new stickers arrived over Christmas, and I can safely say they are much better quality than the old ones.

If anyone who has previously ordered an AstroEQ and wants a replacement sticker for the case, let me know by PM.
