I just attempted to build mine and was not able to due to the plate being cut with improper spacing, as well as at least 1 switch cutout being the wrong size. Hopefully I was the only one with a faulty plate :(

I am sorry to hear that. I have sent message to Ace team and the replacement will be sent to you soon.
By the way,  the plate you installed is upside down.

I just got my case. The plate is not perfect for the Planck PCB, but it works. However, I did not get any mounting hardware. I don't have the screws or rubber feet.

Edit: I also just noticed that there are some scratches on my case. Some are not that bad or on the inside where they will be invisible. But two of them run over the top edge, which are in plain view.

Mine hasn't arrived yet because I was out when DPD tried to deliver it. Reading these comments don't give me much confidence...
Hope you get the scratches issue fixed, I'm really not sure what they're going to do about it. Doubt they'll send you another case, they can't have made that many extras.

I have some fine scratches on my black case too.
Very fine ones, hard to even capture with my potato cam so I won't even bother....

I have made some photos of the scratches. Most I am not bothered by, but there is this one on the left side of the case that is quite distracting. The first photo in the album is of the right side. The others are of the left side. Lighting isn't the best, but my phone is the best camera I have and I don't have natural light anymore.

The case, rubber feet and screws will be sent to you later and you can keep the old one!

If any one has problem for the items received, please PM me with your name and pictures.

I already had a Planck PCB with holtites ready to go. I started by putting in four switches in the corners. However, once I put in two switches on one side, the plate did not quite line up with the PCB. The spacing between keys seems to be just a bit more than on a standard Planck plate.

Hi, ppp
i am sorry about it, i just checked the history of the order files, it seems part of your street name is missing after several rounds of change,  if there is any extra charges incurred for the redirect, i am willing to pay for that.

By the way,  Please do PM me with your name, pictures, description of problem as soon as possible if you any problem for the items received~
Until now, all the problems PMing to me regarding to the PCB and case were justified by the factory and they admitted that the problems were caused by factory side during the production, the factory will reproduce the items,  send the new one and you can keep the old one. Please be patient.

Hi Wang, if it is not too much trouble, could the factory also do an additional PCB for me too? Thanks

Dear wangbwhz
I read that case started an anodizing last week. So, can you tell when the delivery of your new case starts?
