kyuut:
not a huge fan of the feet, i think it would look a little nicer if it was much smaller.
pricing seems a little high for case only. that aside, GLWIC

hali:
there is less design here than the actual open source bakeneko. i could make this in 14 minutes and 3 seconds

stidal:
330 seems steep for one piece case no extras at 300 moq

edit: also, does it use 3 or 4 feet? photos show 3 bumpons, but renders seem to have 4. i'm sure most people would prefer the latter
