[GB] 16ga metal ergodox cases -- Shipping R2 recommencing

[dorkvader]

Yea the only thing I'm wondering is whether or not my TRRS cable will fit without any acrylic plates. I get the impression there might not be enough clearance for the end of the cable.

One would think that replacing the cable with a lower profile one would be the solution
these two look lower-profile than the stock one.

It's an option, however I'd much rather use this:

You two should check the interest-check subforum.
 
It's looking like it'll happen; probably soon, too.

In light of the R3 of the metal ergodox case buy commencing, I was wondering if anybody has experience combining this plate, and Czarek's case.

I already have bought Czarek's PVC case w/ aluminum plate, but I want a more sturdy plate vs the flimy aluminum currently used in his designs.

I'd like to buy the kit, and utilize the SS plate in Czarek's case. Which option should I buy? Classic, Minimalist, or Extended minimalist?

[Data]

All 3 configurations include a plate, so you would probably want to buy the cheapest (minimalist) if that's the only piece you're using.

I have no idea if the plate will work with czarek's case.

I would like to share pics of this wonderful case

I have not completed it yet but I'm almost there on my right side

These cases are amazing. I currently have an acrylic plate/Massdrop ergoDox and was wondering if these would work with that and if there were any still sitting around from the Group Buy/someone bought an extra that they are looking to offload?

Very nice.  Can you tell us a little bit about what you've done there?  Is that a powder coat or some kind of anodizing?  It almost looks "stonewashed" in your photos.

Hey guys,
those that have bought the case does it scratch easily? I am really looking forward in buying it.

I have the stainless.  It doesn't scratch that easily, but I also don't move my keyboard like, at all.  Depends on how you use it too.  If you just assemble the case as it came from the laser cutter then you're probably not going to notice a scratch.  If you polish it a little like I did it might show scratches more.

Also, this GB has been over and done for many months.  Orders are not open and I haven't seen much of AK lately.  Classifieds are probably your only chance to get one of these cases.

Yup its powder coated :) and I've just finishing soldering it and here is the pic with granite keycaps

I can't get it working tho :( must be something I did wrong on the software.
