Probably same answer as all the other new Vortex products as well: Price is to be determined, and item will be available in a couple months.

It doesn't look cheap though. CNC something like this out of 2 blocks of solid aluminum... I'm guessing at least $150.

Wait, are you saying we're forced to get this metal case with caps? Can we buy just the case for less?

April to June is soooooooooo far away! Need it quicker!

You guys should definitely offer different colors options like WhiteFireDragon said and it'd better look as good as this, if not better. =P

Ok last question, I promise lol. Will this be able to fit other TKL cases like leopold or CM, or is this exclusive for filco only? If it's for filco only, are you able to carve out the little area for the "filco" logo so we can transfer it from out old cases?

Well with Filco being pretty popular it would be cool if they laser engraved a logo into some. If it looked good I think I would rather have that than a blank one :-)

Btw, why is this thread in the key cap section? Might want to get a mod to move it to a more appropriate section, like the general keyboard section or modification section.
