How long does it take to develope a silicone case?

Time require to produce a silicone case:
1 day to buy the new phone 3G
2 days to computer scan the iPhone
1 day to make the model of the mold
8 to 10 days to make the mold
500 to 1000 cases can be produced per day per mold
3 to 5 days to express air the products to the maker

ALL TOTALED, it would take approximately 14 to 19 days from the time the company is in possession of a iPhone 3G or its specs. A plastic case takes 25 days to bring to market if everything goes smooth. Of course this time line does not calculate the time this company spent design a case that is going to win your hearts.

SPEAK to manufacturers, case designers, iPhone and iPhod accessory agents, distributors, resellers and consummers. You might learn some more information about the new iPhone 3G. Who knows Griffin Technology might be there to fill in some of the blanks.
