Widermatrix has been so great to work with especially Taylor. Taylor sends pictures and testimonials and data to help the decision process. Once decided the process is smooth and Taylor sends updates with pictures and videos of YOUR phone case vending machine along the way. The claims are real, this automated phone case dispenser is half paid back on my initial invest just after 2 months!
