[IC] 75% MX-mini : PCB + Plate +Case : Full LED, Macro < GB Started !>

The 4th Candidate is the Safe Glass. (SiO₂)

Damn that would be interesting to see.  If you are going to use laminated glass that is almost unbreakable even when dropped onto a concrete surface.  It might chip but it won't shatter.

Don't use safety glass because it's designed to fragment into millions of smaller grains when it gets hit.  Always go for laminated glass which can be tinted from a grey, green, blue or mirror like finish.

If you go down that route it might get quite expensive and painful if it fails to meet any popularity here on GH.  But I would be interested in it for sure  .

정말 감사합니다 !    Thank You Very Much for all the Tips and Advice!!  I respect Them!!

I usually consult to the friends and experts in the Mobile device industries, But as we know, production techs are differ. 

So in this  GB, I'd propose Acrylic and PolyCarbon, an Dura-Aluminium.    Other 4th, 5th.. are just private clumsy experimental stuffs.

For Acrylic Cases I'd like follow the Apple G3, G4, G5 Cases introduced in 1998, 2002, 2004...        Hello Cuties!

Not a fan of Apple now but in my younger days, I would of killed to own an Apple inspired keyboard  .

Dura-Aluminium looks good, got to see some pics on that.

Any extra 4th or 5th experimental cases made out of glass or even granite (yes stone) could be used.  I would pay you for that stone keyboard case  .

Here is another idea I've yet seen anyone do in the WORLD today.  Make a mold (2-part) easy to assemble yourself and mix some cement/adhesive mixture and pour into the mold.  Once it sets you should have a pretty durable cement style keyboard case.  Only trick is to really make a durable case with internal supports to prevent any cracking.  I know people in Europe pour secret mixtures into molds to build really delicate figurines and such, which are extremely tough (not easy to break).

epoxy based grout would be my suggestion here.  Not sure on how well it would take paint or how you would go about smoothing out the finish but that stuff is STUPID durable and strong.

Thanks My Fellow GH guys!  I Love Your Encouragements.   I Love You all !!!

I am doing some proto-injection-molding with the Industry Experts,  but  for the NeXT Time.

Should I get a metal case from this GB or LZ-MX GH? Any suggestions? Hard decision. Guess I can't figure out until the sample comes out.

Just curious sprit, what is that black metal looking case in the picture of black MX-mini?

[sprit]

My Very Private Opinion  :

My Precious Skin and Fingers are much more used to Plastics than Metals.

I prefer ABS, and Acrylic Cases for my own,  even I have several Metal cases.

We know, Tastes differ.      And I prepared Aluminium Metal cases  in this GB.

  prototype...  Final Candidate is more refined.

At this Moment, I want to tell My Design Concept Officially.

  100% Interchangeable,   100% Interoperable,   100% Mix n Match !

  All 60% Cases of Mine will do.  All 75% Cases of Mine will do.  and All 87 TKL will do.


            * Pics Will come this week !


All Poly models will 'Mix n Match' with Metallic models.  They share all the basic Designs but materials.   


SPRiT   Model 1A     :   Acrylic, Poly models ;   PolyAcrylic, PolyCarbon, etc  (Color, Clear, Smooth, hairline, rough, sanding,etc..)


SPRiT   Model 1M   :    Metalic models ;   Dura-Alu, Chrome-Plated Metals, etc  (Color, Smooth, hairline, rough, sanding, Chrome etc..)

I really Appreciate your advice!  You are My Master Yoda from Now!   
We will talk about this as often as possible, OK?

Hi!   thx for your comment!   That black metal looking case in the picture is Acryl half Rough finish.

Amazing!

The prototype cases look great.  I was thinking of making a wood case as well.
