Looks really nice.
I wonder how Brobots and Akimbo are feeling since they just bought similar aluminum Realforce cases

I believe theirs had a usb hub, but it was also much more expensive.
Good thing I don't have either of those boards though :D otherwise I may have been tempted.

yeah :\ I know the other musketeer who bought one.. Was like $350 from digitech I believe, seemed a bit bulkier than this case..
The FIlco one looks really sweet, like the KMAC Happy curve
-
Both look really nice.
The Filco one looks like a higher quality Vortex one with a chamfer at the front like the KMAC happy, realforce one looks the same as the digilog one but with a slant which I really like.
-
****. I was just saying I wasn't gonna buy a phantom cause I couldn't find a case I liked. There goes that excuse. If anyone finds a proxy lemme know as I'd be in on it.
-
I like that black one...but why engrave the RF logo in the top left with that atrocious font?

It doesn't seem to have standoffs so not going to fit phantom better than the Vortex one

Yeah.. Really daft, and it's in a bad place. Would've been better if they actually put it in the far left instead of somewhere vaguely near the far left.

You'll need to add ledges for the phantom plates (just like you would with the Vortex case), since that case simply clamps the stock filco plate in place. It doesn't have standoffs.
-
I wonder if the font on that case could look any worse.

I feel pretty good seeing as the quality of our cases are noticeably better. Just looking at the machining of the case, it's pretty clear. Ours have a USB hub, removable cable and no horribly ugly font on the top of the case.
Do I think 350 was too much? Of course I would like to pay less, but I don't feel bad about it. I would however, feel bad about using this case.
-
Digilog cases seem to have a much nicer finish too. Honestly, the only thing I can see that's better about this one is the slant, but even that wouldn't be enough to make me want one. The font just kills it.

Good to hear you don't regret getting that case!

Hold on...back the truck up son. What about the 3lb solid brass feet on the digilog cases. The digilog cases have dumps like a truck...wut wut.
-
There's an option to get it without the text. I think it's kind of ugly to have usb's sticking out of my keyboard, might be the only one....
But on the other hand I love heavy cases and of which it seems the digitech one should win :3
-
Won't this be pretty close in price to the Digilog case after you add in the cost of proxy and shipping?

Sherry might sell them. Compare his and kbdmods store.. See the pattern?
-
The Filco case looks nice but the Realforce is just so-so but the engraved name spoils it for me. If I was to get an alloy case the Diglog is more but worth it.
-
Filco one looks real nice, I wonder if it would fit a phantom.
-
The font on the RF case is bloody awful!
-
If i someday decide to get a filco/phantom, that case looks like a great choice
-
The TKL options look really good. Have a few projects that need cases, would totally be in if I had extra cash flow
