When i posted my leather case for my rs 78 on reddit, i was encourage by many people to host an GB for this since they all want one.

How is the texture of the interior leather? My main worry is for keycaps.

Hi Atredl,
The inside's texture is suede and it's very fluffy. It means to protect your keycap. I'll have a short clip to show the inside once i arrive at the office.
You could also see the texture detail in the picture below :

Follow up question. Would it be possible to make the case fit the angle of the keyboard? Like instead of regular box dimensions, could it be made to fit the angle of a case? Specifically I'd like to get a leather case fit for an M60-A with GMK keycaps.

That's do-able Atredl, we could cut the side leather piece to make it fit the m60A according to the diagram you send. I've added the Comment and Customization section to the end of the form so please include all the description and diagram for your request.
Thanks.

Interested in this but curious to know how much height the case adds to the overall board? my whitefox (with rubber feet) is ~34mm tall, and fits nicely in my laptop bag, would like to minimize bulking up the height too much.

If your keeb's size is  33 x 11 x 4cm then after put it in the case it will be 34.5 x 14 x 5.5 cm,  and the heigh could be reduce if pressed thanks to the rounded design of the case bottom

Thanks for the quick response. Will have to see if my laptop bag can accommodate an extra 15mm

Beautiful stuff! Thank you for the updated pictures. Leather color 4 is my favorite! Sorry if it's already been answered, but how long is the GB going for? I wasn't expecting it, so I need to make sure I don't miss it before I'm ready to buy. :D Thanks!

all of the cases of the first batch has shipped. The shipping fee for US/Canada is more than twice the amount that i collected ($30 on $12 collected), I covered that different for the first batch already  :'(, but from the #2 batch, i have to correct the shipping price.

Thanks,
Romeo
