Has anyone actually got the original CAD file or other type of file and gone to a CNC mill and asked them how much it would cost to make it?
Might end up cheaper?
The labor cost is very high
Its not labor, its machine time.
So...couldn't we just do a group buy and get it done in China? :)
the thing with that, is despite a few people looking for cases that may seem like a lot, there might be 5 MAYBE 10 people looking for one. People get hung up about spending twice as much on a case than the keyboard.
Good luck with your search. I'm all out but if I have more then I'd definitely trade with you. Right now I only have a blue one left and that's it. =[

I have a friend that works in a shop with access to a CNC machine. Can I have the CAD file to ask him for an estimate? I might be able to get a run with limited numbers. So basically this case is CNC'ed from one solid block of aluminum, then anodized to various colors afterwards, right? How much was the original price from the first group buy?
139 before shipping
Vortex cases are a lot shorter on the sides compared to imsto's. Too much of the keyboard is exposed.This is why you'll never buy a HHKB
Still want one.
This is why you'll never buy a HHKBSo true. Watch the day I finally get one I'll sell it a week later.
lolThey want to be artsy with their pictures.
im probably going to buy one of their poker ones and one of their race ones.
yeah the cases are a little shorter.
i really hate how vortex only gives us like corner shots instead of profile shots.

Aren't the vortex ones only black? And any price estimate yet?
It's a Asian thing, they like to shoot pictures at a angle

I think that's what makes them look so cool & unique. If I could just have a keyboard with no sides at all I'd be all over it. Thats one of the reasons why I was pretty stoked about the mini guru tbh.
I might be one of the few white nerdy guys who think Asian women look like aliens
and this is coming from someone who has two asian sister in laws

Here I am thinking I am going to read two pages full of information about the aluminium cases.. Should have known better, after all this is GH :c
Can anyone tell me who had experience with the Aluminium case, did it give a whole new feel to the keyboard?
Hey I asked IMSTO and here is his response:and those are the vortex cases with the lower profile
I am trying to get in touch with my friends if they have it.
the casing will be made few weeks later, we do busy with the dyesub thick keycaps now, will design a new casing for poker, and for Race.
So we know they will be showing up again :-)
