Give me feedback for the low profile corne **case** I'm designing! Compared to my last GB, this is something more optimized to be sleek and travel friendly while keeping a very high end feel.  This time I especially had a focus on wireless use.

Timeline: GB Opening in 3-6 weeks, will last 1-2 months

A bit of a necro-thread, but any updates here? I'd be interested as a travel alternative to the Chieftain.
