The waiting is really starting to get to me.

Finally, it is here. Any of you happen to inspect closely of your Hammer case?

Mine has about 3 small chips/dents at the bottom, but this doesn't affect the overall impression at all as they are hidden underneath.

Some pics of it has been posted here:

I guess some other also having the same defects but they are just too minor to care about.

I ordered the titanium finish and I'm completely in love with the case!

Here's a comparison of the color against the standard Apple silver so you can see the difference in color:

There are a couple of minor blemishes in the finish here or there. At first I thought they might be dirt, but Windex didn't seem to have any affect. You can see it a little bit in the photo below, but I'm happy to say that there aren't any issues in the CNC work and it's amazing how clean the cuts are.

I ordered this case to go with my Poker X (MX-Black) with Round 3 caps, I'm really thrilled with the results.

Yours looks really sharp in these pictures. The keycaps also really complement the case. Does it have shades of gold or green through it?

You might want to try put some WD40 to wipe away those blemishes, it works for my case

Holy crap Mashby that's gorgeous!

I just got my own case today, and wow I'm stunned. I've got R3 jelly. Hope my board ends up half as classy as that!

I received my two cases but one of them is missing the rubber pads that go on the bottom.

It is kinda like a metallic red due to the semi-glare surface.

danielucf · « **Reply #417 on:** Wed, 25 September 2013, 02:40:15 »

I wish I had two of these. FMJ 60% and LZ-CE will have to do. I'm glad everyone for the most part has been happy with their purchase.

At first glance, I thought this was my Poker X in a Duck Poker case, however, seeing the ISO layout made me scratch my head. Really nice Ducky Mini there! Clearly great minds think alike. ;D

pix3l_fodder · « **Reply #422 on:** Tue, 01 October 2013, 15:23:52 »

Got mine, nice colour, shame about the scuffs (got a visible one on the top lip). Customs rang me up and asked i provided a receipt, I assume they didn't believe it was $18, i gave them another price but not heard anything about paying import duty. Would have been nice to inform us before hand about that!

£22 ($35) import duty <_< Don't think they believed imo on the $18 unit cost and rang me up, i had to show them my "receipt" to process the package. Be aware if UK peeps not got theirs yet, tell them its $18!

Weird they wouldn't it's just a slab of aluminium, this isn't the 18th century

I had a duty charge in Canada too. Was only around $13 (taxes on $36 + $8 paperwork/customs fee). Would have been alot worse if the cases were declared at original value. At least it wasn't as bad as the $70 fee I had on my $400 order from Elite Keyboards.

pix3l_fodder · « **Reply #431 on:** Fri, 04 October 2013, 17:34:41 »

it was only as cheap as that because i doctored the receipt. Down to $50 from $160~

Why not all the way to 18$? Like I previously said, surely a block of aluminium can't cost more than that in the eyes of the common folk.

pix3l_fodder · « **Reply #433 on:** Sat, 05 October 2013, 04:12:53 »

wasn't informed of the $18 till it was to late. I had to make a number up.

Well obviously it depends on your country's legislation, for me it's supposedly >21€ in value.

50 is better than 160 tho

And she is a thing of beaty isn't she?
