Is this the latest version of this case, or an entirely different one? I was really looking forward to purchasing the exact one I linked.
I'm pretty sure this GB is for the final form of the case you linked. If you check the IC for this case, it shows one of the pictures from your link under the 'V1' header.
I don't know the background, but in the IC thread Yuktsi shows interest in the V1 prototype, and LeandreN says "Trust me, you dont want the first prototype
". I don't know if that's a quality issue (it being a prototype, maybe it was rough), or a design issue, but it doesn't look like V1 is going to be available.
I also really liked V1, but V2 sure is nice, too.
Sorry to disappoint. (And a huge apology if I've gotten any of this wrong.)
