This is exactly what I will be doing 

[mashby]

Seeing all the photos of the Ti color is making me want it all the more. 

Can't wait till mine gets here.

[akuji13]

Its here.

Thanks for this gb and the fantastic case, what a beauty. 

[randrews]

Should I be worried that it's been a day and my DHL tracking number still doesn't work?

Weird that it's DHL anyway, since I'm in the US.

[LechnerDE]

My two cases arrived as well. I didn't even have to pay custom fees.





The new design (red case) feels 3x heavier than the old design (silver case). I will probably put my ducky Mini in it 

[kekstee]

Everything went faster than expected. Thank you imsto

Since the GH60 is all it's part and quite some work away my Poker got a new home for now.
The Titanium colour is really great, some kind of warm gold/grey/silver, depending on the light. And it just feels incredibly solid.

Same, my tracking number isn't working but I cough it up to it being shipped later than the others (based on the number being well off from the ones at the top of the spreadsheet)

That red is stunning, can't wait to see a board in that thing

[gruener_Salat]

Looks better even better than expected. Thanks, imsto!

Btw no customs for me.

[LechnerDE]

Your wish is my command 





I think I'll keep the pure red on white version. Looks just as clean as the case

Beautiful

Beautiful

Thank you!

I wish they also made TKL cases. The quality is just unbelievable: It's heavier than a brick 

[LechnerDE]

By the way guys:

Did you install this mesh thingy?



I assume it has to be put under the PCB to prevent contact with the case right?

Is it really necessary? I found it after I installed my Poker in the new case and don't wanna unscrew everything again

[Matt3o]

really?! I thought it was just a keyboard mat

You don't have to install it. I personally don't see a different after I installed mine

[mashby]

LOL! Yeah, it goes inside the case. I made one for my Duck Poker out of shelf liner. Don't know if it actually serves a purpose, but it's a nice touch.

that makes totally sense. so the PCB bends a little less with it. thanks for the tip mashby

Yours actually looks gray/dark silver in that picture.  Mine is golden.  I even took it to work with me and asked 5 co-workers what the color is.  Every one of them said "gold", while gray/silver didn't even enter into their minds.

I love the heft of the case, the shape of it and the way it feels when I type but I have to admit that the color is really off-putting.  Also, the case wobbles slightly on the bottom left corner.  Replacing the pad might fix this but given the price, it's a little disconcerting

I don't mean to try to bum anyone out but I'd like to know whether other titanium cases have the same color issue.

[mashby]

Hopefully I will have a color comparison for you tomorrow!

That really sucks to hear man, have you tried talking to Imsto about these issues?

Bad photo comparing my other aluminium case:

So far so good 

[Steven]

So far so good 

Hmm, now the Titanium is looking close to the Ti spacebar.

Quality is quite promising by looking at most of the pictures posted here by everyone.

The red is so yummy as well O_O sell to me if u dun wan

[alixinhzai]

yea, sell me red if u dont want

[badcop]

my TI just arrived at work 

its got some light marks on the backside but no big deal.  I will post pictures when i get home.

I got my titanium case today and absolutely love it. I threw an unmodified pure with MX Reds in it and it already feels really solid because of the case and the way I installed the mat (double layered it far away from the screw stand offs). Once I tune the switches and install a plate it'll be my favorite 60% I'm sure. Only decision is to wait to tune and build it all with GH60 PCB or give in to my impatience and do it now with the pure and rebuild later.

The color looks really good, but is a little more of a semi-glare anodize than a matte anodize that titanium looks like. In little to no light the color is dark, but with light shining off of it it can almost look silver. It also does have a weird greenish/gold hue to it in some lighting situations as well. GON sells all his cases with non-glare, semi-glare, and glare options when he anodizes so you can kind of see what I mean about a semi-glare anodize if you compare some of the GON options of the same color but tweaked glare options.

I'm curious to see how this compares to the Premium FMJ case and the LZ-CE.

Also does anyone know if these were hard anodized? I don't want to take something sharp to it to test out if they aren't

[LechnerDE]

What do you mean by double layer? My mat exactly covers the size of the case. Could you fold it and still cover the entire bottom?

My mat was a little bit longer and I had to cut it down to size. With the small strip, small squares I cut out for the USB port, and the dip switches in the bottom I doubled up. I put a long strip where "U, I, O, P" are, and the smaller squares around where "E, D, F" are. Pretty much in the middle as far away from standoffs as possible.

PS: badcop's pictures look pretty accurate to what I'm seeing on mine.

[badcop]

Yeah ti color has a bit of green in it and I read online that a contaminated tank can cause silvers to turn gold...

[LONGZILLA]

Received mine as well, digging it. Feel like the keycaps would have matched better with the Titanium finish but given all the varying reports.. who knows

[Xaviz]

nice! red and silver turned out amazing.

[randrews]

Got mine today, it looks great! I actually like the titanium color.

Now I just need the Dolch DSA keycaps to show up for it...

[badcop]

I can't get over how heavy this thing is loaded. It's ridiculous.

I wish they offered a similar model for TKL boards!

this.

i got my titanium case yesterday too. i got a old poker in it now. it is really nice. really nice. and holy hell is this thing heavy. really heavy yo.

i guess black POM caps will have to do until my TEAM REDLINE caps finally show up. 

this is really high quality work.  i see no blemishes or scratches at all on my case. the color is really nice and i like how it changes as lighting conditions adjust. this is some high quality **** right here. IMSTO has a customer for life.

Someone posted over GH about the weight of this in lbs

[badcop]

3lbs 4oz

[tricheboars]

mine feels like it is 12lbs. it is so heavy. it is so awesome. this thing does not move at all no matter how hard i slapa da caps.

[Paranoid]

received mine as well, really nice now to wait for gh60 to finish ^^

[piberry]

I got a ti case and would like to exchange it with a red one - just a color preference
please pm me if interested

[gropingmantis]

Received mine today! Its brilliant. Thanks imsto!

[watterrbottle]

Got my case, it is beautiful. Thanks for the GB!

the ti looks amazing, but the red is gorgeous

[witbliz]

Loving the casing, What a matching pair

[randrews]

I actually think the titanium is better than the red. Red would look awesome with certain colors of keys, but gray goes with pretty much anything.
