Thx! MOQ is 150. Once it reaches that many orders I'll close the GB.

I couldn't agree more. That flex is insane, and that case amps it up 10x fold. Hot dam!

A few quick updates:

1) Prototype should be arriving later today. If it meets my expectations and I'm happy with the quality of the machine work and bead blast, I'll plan to open the GB as soon as possible.

2) Current Interest Check is up to about 120 cases. This GB will need to meet MOQ of 150 in order to proceed.

3) After further discussion with my manufacturing plant, we have aligned on a new UV resistant Material for the lids. It is a grade of PlexiGlass with an optical hard coat. This does two things A) creates a much more scratch resistant surface and B) includes UV resistance and absorption properties. The coating will only be on one side of the lid, something to keep an eye on if you are wanting to maintain the scratch proof outer layer (UV will work either direction).

Here are the specs in case you'd like to read further on this material:

Prototype came in and I'm very happy with the quality!

Working on an acrylic display stand to be included. Once I have the stand parts in, I'll be sending the prototype and parts for a photo shoot, followed by opening the Group Buy. I'm hoping to get this thing opened in about 2 weeks.

I can't speak for Hayt but I'm pretty confident it will. He's got 0.81" (20.5mm) as the height and while I'm not 100% sure that's the inside available space, it does seem that's what he meant by cell dimensions. And if so, that's enough to fit a Bruce (19.33mm) which should be a good deal taller than a BK.  :thumb:

(just realized this might be Rome messing with us, but it's still good info for others!)
