Post by: esoomenona on Fri, 16 August 2013, 09:35:45: Dude! I want one of those. A black one would be awesome! Hell, I'll take a white one. I love the USB cable holding compartment.

Post by: MOZ on Fri, 16 August 2013, 16:00:25: That is sick. Where/How did you get the case made?

Imagine the 40% jdcarpe posted and a similar case, I'd be using this on the bus and subway too!

Post by: nubbinator on Sun, 18 August 2013, 03:53:18: I'm impressed. Definitely an interesting little case. I'd love to see some more affordable 60% cases out there, especially with the GH60 around the corner.

Post by: Xenderwind on Sun, 18 August 2013, 13:05:06: Wow that looks great, makes me consider picking up a 60% just to take to campus. (I usually spend a lot of time there waiting for traffic to die down)

Post by: JonasDK on Tue, 20 August 2013, 10:38:25: Will you be selling these kind of cases?
Title: Re: New Design 60% keyboard frame---mockup complete
Post by: BliTzKiN on Tue, 20 August 2013, 10:59:35: That looks great, I was wondering what the bottom compartment was until I saw the picture with the cable inside. Really good looking + practicality :D

Post by: Binge on Tue, 20 August 2013, 14:33:55: very nice. Very very nice. Does this have a snap on top or anything? Anyone else thinking ultraportable?

I second this idea. Great thought!

The only single thing i don't like about my Poker II is the floating cable. With your new special board keeping the wire inside the case, it could easily turn into an "ultraportable" device.

Post by: SpAmRaY on Tue, 20 August 2013, 14:42:09: I say take a case like this and use the extra space to make a wireless 60% board!!

Post by: Puddsy on Tue, 20 August 2013, 14:43:50: Very cool. I would buy it if you put something similar up for sale.

Post by: domoaligato on Wed, 28 August 2013, 14:10:55: do you have any plans to open source the design files to allow us to print these ourselves?
Title: Re: New Design 60% keyboard frame---mockup complete
Post by: TheSoulhunter on Wed, 28 August 2013, 14:42:03: Is this even printed? OP wrote something about "die mold" in the linked thread >.>

Post by: daerid on Wed, 28 August 2013, 14:44:01: I'll be honest, I'm way more interested in how you whitened your Surface Pro.
Title: Re: New Design 60% keyboard frame---mockup complete
Post by: domoaligato on Wed, 28 August 2013, 14:44:51: I was wondering if it would be open because greystroke has a pressure pot large enough to resin cast poker cases :)

I haven't even cast a successful keycap yet, it'd be a while before I graduate to full cases!

Although the thought had crossed my mind, given how small the Poker cases are in real life...

:-X

It's just a skin. There are many skins available for the Surface Pro. You can get a white one with a Windows logo from the Microsoft Store, they print whatever you want. I don't think the Microsoft Store has the skin for the sides as well. But there are many options for skins online, or you can buy vinyl wrap and wrap it by yourself.
