Just wondering if there are custom cases for the QFR like there are for the poker, etc ?
Would be nice to get a different case instead of the branding and rubbery texture (although I don't mind the rubbery texture)
-
It is rumoured that brandless cases will be available direct from CoolerMaster at some stage.
-
Have people made their own cases before? If so how hard would it be?

i believe they are similar to filco cases, not 100% though.
Feng has made some acrylic ones for sale.(was below 50usd if i remember correctly)
He also has some aluminium ones which are about 300usd
Vortex(company) made some aluminium cases as well for 150usd or something, but there were loads of complains about it.
-
A lot of the Filco cases will fit the QFR, although I don't think the Vortex alu cases fit. Not quite sure, though, so if you're seriously wanting one I suggest looking through the thread for them here on the forum.
-
Filco and QFR are almost exactly the same. They have the same plate design and the same modular controller PCB between the nav keys. The only difference is that the Filco has two internal screws to attach the plate to the bottom, while the QFR does not. In short, any case that will fit a Filco will fit a QFR.

Here is my post on the topic. I really need to put this in the Wiki:
