Hello everyone! I finally Got everything up and running. I just launched my Ecommerce website boraskins.com For awhile there I fell off, I will admit. With money being very tight, having to get a new car and my job lining up, its finally online. I wanted to wait until I had more products for my website before launching, but a good friend with a business major told me to just get it online and add new products when I finish them, so I get get a little return in the mean time. Bora Skins is 100% operated by me, I bought a machine for cutting, I buy the rolls in bulk, I even ship all my products as well. No out sourcing here. I did some selling on eBay for awhile there, which made me some money to support itself I actually really like doing everything myself, especially the shipping. I love cutting, and hand assembling all my skins and seeing what parts they are going to. Its such an amazing feeling! Anyways, I'm mainly posting on here to get some feedback, and possible a few likes on facebook 
( fb.com/boraskins ) I've lost many hours of sleep putting this together. If its the graphics, which I did myself, or even hand measuring all my devices for the cut out process. I'm far from done, but It's nice to know that I'm out there.
How I started.
I finally bought my very own iPhone 5s! I was soo excited to go from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 5s! I treated it like gold, but one thing that really irritated me was my case. I absolutely hated the fact that I have to fight with my pocket to get my big bulky phone out, so I threw the case out! It was much easier sliding the phone in and out of my pocket, until one day I had my keys in my pocket with my phone, later that day I pulled my phone out and noticed a huge scratch on the back -.- I wasn't super mad, but I was kinda disappointment. Then a little after that I dropped the phone on the concrete at work and got a huge dent on the corner! As a I watched my phone slowly lose its resell value I looked on ebay for a solution, and of course, I found a skin! So I bought it, installed it and was pretty satisfied until I dropped it on the bottom, and got an even bigger dent -.- I was thinking if the skins was more thick it would be a lot better. So that's where I started researching. Mostly all skins come in about 2 mils thick. That's when I found 3M architectural film, which is 8 mils thick. I couldn't find anyone who sold them for a reasonable price, So after with my income tax Money I bought a cutter, a roll of vinyl, and the rest is history. My friends and family started buying them, now I'm wholesaling to a Gadget repair store not too far from my house, and slowly getting into a few festivals in my city which are hosted pretty often. Things are going great! I have a few more ideas to improve my skins which I will more than likely work on this tax season. So to everyone who's like me and hate cases, but don't want their device 100% unprotected, check out boraskins.com!
Thank you for reading my story, It would be highly appreciated if you could give me a like on fb! I want to start doing giveaways soon!
Thanks guys!
