For anyone else thinking 'buy XXX from China' T-Shirts are a great case to learn from: Import quality generic T-shirts in bulk at extremely low cost, then do the branding / dying locally to respond to customer demand. Virtually no risk. Aggressive marketing works in the T-shirt (and other generic clothing) business to discover (key: discover, not compete in. Once discovered, they're gone as of days or weeks) markets/interests in a very short (2-3 day) turnaround time.

Phone cases... seriously though...
