Fabrix launches Fifth October iPhone case as a tribute to Steve Jobs who passed away on the 5th October 2011. The case cost USD$10 (SGD$12.70). Shipping within Singapore via Registered Mail cost an additional USD$3 (SGD$3.80). I ordered on the 18th October 2011 and I received it on 24th October 2011. But now due to overwhelming orders, the waiting time is at least 3 to 4 days before your order is processed.

Description Of The Fabrix Fifth October iPhone Case

The passing of Steve Jobs has been a great loss to the entire Mac Community or rather, to the world. He was a true visionary, a great leader and an inspiring soul destined to changed the world. He has connected the world with his passion and his ideas. He challenged conventions and shaped the way we enjoyed technology today.

Here at Fabrix, we would like to pay a tribute to him, cause without him, we would not be doing what we love today. We have hence created a special tribute sleeve to immortalize him. We named this special edition sleeve ‘Fifth October’ because that is the day the world lost Steve Jobs to cancer.

Throughout Steve Jobs’s career, his trademark look spotting the black turtleneck top paired with blue jeans has garnered a cult following and we figured this is exactly how we would like to remember him as. As a form of respect to him, this sleeve will not bear any branding or labels. It will be shipped in a special drawer box in Black and Gold. Each sleeve will come with a handprinted random quote card, bearing a message from Steve Jobs that we feel has inspired us.

This sleeve will retail at just US$10 because we believe that every and anyone who would like to own it should be able to do so without a pinch (we just need to recover the costs on our side).

Fifth October iPhone Case

Fifth October iPhone Case With iPhone 4S

Received a complimentary Fabrix Booklet For iPad (USD$59.90) from Fabrix Cases. I was quite surprised they send it to me. Maybe because I bought a few cases from them. The first was for my MacBook Pro, the second was for my netbook and iPhone 3Gs and the third was a sleeve for my iPad which I forgot to blog about it.

I think I will be using this case from now on. There is like 3x iPad 16GB 3G + Wi-Fi in my family and all 3 are using the default Apple iPad Case, so it is hard to differentiate which iPad belongs to who if they are placed together.

If you are a fan of Fabrix like me, you can check out their Blog, Twitter, Facebook or Flickr.

They have revamped their website and now instead of having a separate store for Singapore, they have only 1 international store and the prices has been changed to USD. Fabrix is offering a 10% discount for orders above USD$50.

I ordered the Fabrix Black Suite Delux Laptop Case for my Asus EEE 1000HE last friday and it was devliered to me this week on Tuesday. Even though the size states it is for Asus EeePC 1000/MSI Wind, it will fit the EEE 1000HE as well.

They are having a promotion, if you get any laptop cases, you will get SGD$10 off any sleeves, so I got the Fabrix Black Suite Sleeve for my Apple iPhone 3GS.

Fabrix Black Suite Delux Laptop Case cost SGD$49.90 and the Fabrix Black Suite Sleeve cost SGD$19.90 (after SGD$10 discount).

The thing I like about Fabrix products that it is a Singapore brand and all their products are handmade! Most importantly you can also pay by PayPal!

This is the second time I bought Fabrix products, last November I also got myself a Fabrix MacBook Pro case.

I ordered my Fabrix Cases for my MacBook Pro last Sunday and it got delivered to me on Wednesday via post. It is not by courier but a normal mail post (SGD$1.50 stamp). I am also wondering how the postman manage to squeeze the laptop sleeve into my letter box.

I ordered the Delux Laptop Cases and I chose Black Suite as the design. It cost SGD$59.90 and you can pay by Paypal. Delivery is free if it is within Singapore.

Today marks our 4th anniversary together which is about 1,460 days.

Went to Li Xiang school to pick her up and we proceed on to Bras Basah to help my mom buy the expiry date sticker from Modern Bookstore located at level 1. Li Xiang bought a book from Basheer Graphic Books located at Level 4 as a birthday present for her friend, Nicole.

We also went to Fancy Papers which is located opposite National Library Board to get some art papers for Li Xiang school work and had lunch at Park Lane Wan Ton Mee which is located opposite Bugis Junction.

After doing all doing these errands, we went to Singapore Biennale 2008 (South Beach Development) as Li Xiang needed to retake some of the shots that she took previously. There are still 2 more places of the Biennale that we are going to covered tomorrow as it is quite out of the way for today’s itinerary.

After Biennale, we went around Haji Lane looking for costume’s mask for Nicole’s 21st birthday party tomorrow. We did saw 2 shops selling but I did not buy any as it is too expensive (Li Xiang already got hers). I think I will just forgo the mask as with spectacles on it is quite difficult to wear any mask.

I also went to a shop selling fabrix cases which are laptop sleeves as recommended by leinad of Hardware Zone. Unfortunately, they do not have MacBook Pro 15″ sizes available and I have to order. I hope leinad does a Mass Order (MO) for this.

Finally it is time for dinner. We had dinner at relish by wildrocket which is located at #02-01 Cluny Court (next to Serene Centre) at 501 Bukit Timah Road. We ordered the Chicken Thai Salad ($15), Handmade Onion Rings ($8) and Chocolate Cointreau Milkshake ($9.50). For the main course, I ordered Bacon Cheese Burger ($19) while Li Xiang ordered Curry Chicken Burger ($17). Total bill is $80.62 including 10% service charge and 7% GST.

The burger was good and the prices are very reasonable. The most expensive burger is priced at $19. It is definitely much better than uberburger (it had closed down) that we ate 2 years ago.

The milkshake is fantastic, it is thick and creamy, I find it better than Project Blood Brothers Cafe’s milkshake. Li Xiang love the onion ring a lot. As for the burger’s patty, it is thick, juicy and tasty! Li Xiang’s curry chicken burger really taste like curry chicken! Not forgetting they serve each burger with lots of fries that both of us can’t finish our own portion.

Happy 4th Anniversary my penguin! I love you always <3

Looking back:

• 3rd Anniversary
• 2nd Anniversary
• 1st Anniversary
• 0th Anniversary

*UPDATE* The Chocolate Chiffon cake that I bake was a success but the chocolate taste is not strong enough, have to melt the chocolate and spread it over the slice of cake when eating. Thanks to my mum for helping me, even though she did almost 50% of the whole process. Thanks Mum!
