Just a heads up... We have the light silver and dark silver in stock now!

Also, should have more colors available next month :)

Feb - March is still estimated ETA for conical feet.

Any chance you guys will be carrying the new colors Vortex just announced?
Looks pretty nice from their pictures on Facebook.

Is the dark silver up on the site yet?  I couldn't find it...

Black case looks outstanding. I will be buying one once they are available.

It looks like all colors of the aluminum cases are available on the website now. I'm assuming the feet are included?

I read it completely. It shows that feet are included.  :p

are these new Filco/ONI cases compatible with the phantom does anyone know?

few weeks ago they posted them on their facebook

i randomly responded on facebook with
Glod: wonder if they will fit phantom

i didnt actually think anyone would say anything

they actually responded with
Vortex Keyboard: Glod fit with phantoom
(actual way they spelled it)

i dunno if they didn't understand what i meant, like translation/understanding issue, or how the hell to interpret.

Just by looking at it, no. There's no where to fit the controller.

I'm honestly not sure, and we don't have one to attempt to fit in.  I've asked Vortex for an exact list, but so far I'm only hearing Filco / ONI

I'm sure slight modifications could make others fit, but I still don't have anything concrete.

Glad I checked back in after all this time.  Just ordered a black one; nice to have a reasonably priced option for a good looking metal filco case.

Just installed my Filco into a black case.

Case came in flawlessly with all hardware, the thing assembled easily and looks like a million bucks!  I was actually prepared to be disappointed with the amount of money I spent on this thing, but I am genuinely happy with my purchase.

Glad to hear it!  Also, we did confirm a Cooler Master Rapid will fit in the case for anyone interested.
