15 cases have been shipped today, the other CONUS orders will be shipped via USPS after I receive them.

Any way to find out which have shipped for who?

Btw any way to get a hold of tracking number?

My case arrived this morning with a 30 euro tax bill

It's a fine looking case and I'm very happy with the color(Granite Grey).
Thought I'd share a couple of pictures.
You know, for science.

I wasn't too satisfied with the feet (see pictures). They were stained and dented. I also didn't like the fact that the feet didn't fully cover the holes. If only the feet were a couple of millimeters bigger the hole's wouldn't be visible.

After some closer examination I noticed that the top corners look a bit off.
They are just not as well rounded as the bottom corners.
I also noticed a slight dent which is visible in the picture.
I've added a comparison picture on the bottom.

It's Granite Grey

BlueBär · « **Reply #309 on:** Mon, 26 August 2013, 10:18:36 »

Mine just arrived, color is blue grey, turned out great. Case is lighter than I expected but I really like it feel-wise.
Sorry, can't really take pics right now, it's really cloudy.

However, it has a dent at the front which is very prominent (it's on the front and even visible in the shadow)

Feng, can we do something about this? Here's two pics that show the damage. Judging by the look of the box it came in it happened before shipping.

bakteria · « **Reply #310 on:** Mon, 26 August 2013, 11:04:39 »

Your blue grey looks very similar to the granite grey..

BlueBär · « **Reply #311 on:** Mon, 26 August 2013, 11:08:42 »

Not really, I think the blue grey is about the color of the stock Poker II keycaps, as I said bad lighting.

Hmm. Well, that's interesting. I ordered blue-grey and my name appears before yours on the list (I assume that means I ordered before you. Right?), but is still listed as not shipped.

I sent him a PM about the same thing, because others who ordered (purple) after me had already been marked shipped, while mine hadn't. He said it's because they had paid for the direct shipping from MKC, while I had paid for the proxy shipping from feng, and he was still awaiting the cases to arrive.

My second case arrived today, thanks Feng. Here's a comparison between the two greys, gun metal and blue grey.

bugsaint · « **Reply #327 on:** Wed, 28 August 2013, 13:07:50 »

Disappointed by the condition of the feet; very unlike the feet that came with the first case which was unmarked and without any dents.

mashby · « **Reply #328 on:** Wed, 28 August 2013, 13:13:22 »

Thanks for the pictures bugsaint! Although, I have to admit I am a bit jealous that you have two cases.

Latin00032 · « **Reply #329 on:** Thu, 29 August 2013, 20:56:02 »

I'm trying to take a picture of my purple case with my potato. It looks blue in the pictures.

So far my case is in good condition. The feet have no blemishes. There are no scratches on the case. My poker 2 fits. It looks good with the lilac key caps and purple USB cable.

I heard using the poker in this kind of case would make the key presses feel more solid. There is a major difference when using the poker PCB in this case. It is much more solid. It feels less cheap.

I wish the camera on my phone was better so I can show you guys. The case looks blue in my photos.

If you can snap a picture with something neutral in the shot (like a white / grey sheet of paper) I could try to white balance with PS/LR; not always perfect but can usually make it a bit more color accurate.

Ouch, that looks pretty bad... Now I'm both excited and nervous about this case. Is there anyway to get replacement feet? I wonder why the quality control on these cases seems much lower than other MKC group buys from before.

Definitely do so, I'd love to see the purple case! That was my second choice.

osxoep · « **Reply #332 on:** Fri, 30 August 2013, 18:13:33 »

I got mine a few days ago, need to find a camera.

QC wasn't very good. The feet are messed up on mine too and there's a bit of damage on the top edge, like the others.

It's a nice case otherwise

If the feet really bother everyone, I think the ones they sell on kbdmod are compatible since its just a screw-type? Maybe someone can start a groupbuy for them, but dang.. seems like lots of problems this GB :|

Yup; I've ordered a variety of things from feng and everything always went perfectly. I knew I wouldn't be seeing this case for a while when I ordered... seeing how fast it shipped from China though, I think I may fork over the extra $10 for direct shipping next time

I was supposed to be in the first round but MKC screwed up the anodizing on my case and it was darker that it should have been. Feng got me a new one. Still waiting on mine but atleast he caught that.

Once you have a few more posts, you can probably sell your pending order in the Classifieds. Having someone take over an order that's already in the pipeline is pretty common here.

It takes a bit to get accustomed to GHT (GeekHack Time). I thought the Toxic key set might take a few weeks, for example. Soon^© is a relative term here.
