    I am able to get personalized CF 29 name badges to replace on the front cover. Your name or initials or company name can be added under the word TOUGHBOOK. If there is interest to others here I can get them made and shipped to you for about $15.00 USD each. I will start another thread in the Buy&Sell if need be.

    All I need is someone to donate a name badge to use for the pattern for the outside size and shape so it will fit and look good. Different colors are also available.

    I want one for my CF-31!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Let me know when I can pay you for this!!!!

    it's the same badge as the CF-30, so once you nail down the CF-30, you have the 31 market too!! :)

    ~ROB - ANXIOUSLY AWAITING HIS CUSTOMIZED BADGE!!!~

    P.S, it looks like the "Toughbook" word isn't OEM... can you take an OEM one from Heartland (mine has the "toughbook" squared out) and put my initials on it??

    Even on CF-19. They are all have with the same pattern. How many available with just the logo, no initial. Btw, it is more cool looking if you do also with the black trim same as the cf-30, CF-19Mk2 and above model.

    Can we get them without the TOUGHBOOK logo; like the CF-29HTM50BM SBC units?

    I have to say... As much as I am (normally) a detractor of exterior customization... (Because most stuff they sell on ebay is crap!) that this is a pretty cool item! Good job! ;)

    I am only familiar with the older Toughbooks CF27, 28, 29.
    From what I am told the 30 & 31 are the same size badge. I will PM Rob to get one of those sent to me. If someone wants a badge for the CF 18 or 19 then speak up and volunteer a badge that I can use for the pattern, I can send it back to you if needed with your new custom one if you like. I will also check on what other colors are available. They don't have to have TOUGHBOOK on the badge, any name or wording can be engraved as long as we can get it to fit. Putting a box around the text like on the later Toughbooks may take a little more work in the cad program and may add a dollar or so to the cost, but I will keep them priced as low as possible. When I start taking orders I will start a new thread in the Buy & Sell forum.

    Blair, what did you not receive? It's possible that I received the parts and forgot to send them to you. (That is, if I ordered them for you)

    Generally it doesn't take a year to get parts LOL, usually it takes about 2 weeks for me...

    Thanks

    Rob, got everthing from you. I ordered a bunch of cover sheets for the bottom and sides. I think they were 7 for the 30 in total and only got 1 ( BOTTOM CASE SHEET ) and just got that last month with my order...the rest is still on back order also ordered some stuff for Jeff and had to wait for his stuff too because it too was on back order. Great bunch to deal with but the shipping is killing me $52.00 on my last order :eek: .

    Depending on options and pricing, I'll probably be interested in a couple of CF-18's, Cf-19's and one CF-30. Thanks for working on this!

    Mr Bob, I've attached a picture of what I would like (something around those lines, centered, looking pretty) Additionally I'm going to mail the 2 logo's out to you tomorrow.

    Thanks again! :)
