...price?! :D$100-95 ish
Very nice!nope, its anodizeD aluminium :)
Is that sheet metal? It kinda looks like it due to the gap in picture #2

This should be added to the GH60 group buy thread. I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in a relatively cheap aluminium case alternative.I am from china. the shipping cost could be a pain in the arse
Well, if it's shipping from China, it should be cheap/inexpensive seeing many things there include free shipping? :DIf a groupbuy did happen. I will keep everything recoreded and trasparent.
Not sure if US proxy shipping would be a good idea since their shipping is worse.
So many cases... SO MANY!
Off the top of my head...
Pure CNC
Duck
Stock
Skeldon-Ace
Acryllic from the recent GB
IMSTO
Treble
I'm sure I'm missing something, but that's a LOT of cases. This one looks by far the best in terms of price to quality ratio.

I'm interested in these. They're nice, and the price is right. Also, as jd said, I think plastic cases would sell like hotcakes. Everyone wants to make aluminum, and sure, they're nice, but some people (probably most?) can't afford them and would really appreciate them. Heck, I'd wager even those who buy aluminum ones would grab a plastic or two.
i488, very nice. As long as it's not from the same factory that makes Vortex cases, I will buy one of these. The USB hole looks a little tight though, almost like the connector is sitting on top of the inner hole.This is a sample ,I can still make changes if I want. I am not related to vortex at all. Vortex =kbc =Chinese distributor of pbt.
Any chance for winkeyless/HHKB versions? :)not atm
Very nice, the wedge design is what I had in one of my earlier drafts before it changed. I'm still a fan of it, well done :)keeep slim, keep light

I will see what I can improve.
What is the thickness of the case?should be exactly the thickness of pure plastic case. Or even thinner.
Any chance for winkeyless/HHKB versions? :)
Sure they could... just allow space to slide the PCB in? Maybe I'm ignorant of the tolerances.Any chance for winkeyless/HHKB versions? :)
HHKB and WKL can't be done with a 1 piece design.

I rest my case. Pun unintentional, but funny nonetheless.Sure they could... just allow space to slide the PCB in? Maybe I'm ignorant of the tolerances.Any chance for winkeyless/HHKB versions? :)

You could have the spacers milled in with a keyhole type mill and then insert/slide the PCB in at an angle. But I'm almost sure that a 2 piece with spacers would be cheaper/easier.

Ah yes, I suppose that floating the blocks would be expensive. Gotcha gotcha. I designed a winkeyless single piece case at one point for fun, which was easy enough. I didn't realize that the floating was an expensive milling problem.Sure they could... just allow space to slide the PCB in?

PCB is not the problem, you can slide it in a an angle easily. But the case, it's not impossible, just highly impractical. WKL and HHKB will need the "floating" blocks, trying to mill something like this out is not cheap.

The USB hole looks a little tight though, almost like the connector is sitting on top of the inner hole.On the Race, the USB connector is almost wedged in it's so tight.
I would be on this if this was a group buy.
do you have a picture of the one for the RACE or is that not actually been made yet? the RACE is actually larger than the PURE, it is 75% instead of 60%
will look out for this...
love how there are so many cases popping up for GH60s; everyone's won't look that same.

Very nice! I'll take one of each, please. :)

Looks like it is missing 3 screw holes?
Top 2 + the one under spacebar.
when will you GB or sell these? loveit btwI am not in a very good position to negotiate the price, somehow. And they didnt give a minimun number of production. Instead, the number must be divisible by 24.

can this be done in other colors ? like red ?red pix incoming in 1 week

wow the update looks so good.
imo better than the hammer poker case.
(what is the price for those cases??) do want!
I totally forgot about this..
hmm depending on final price
is this going to remain the only color?
