Pretty sure that's just one of their plastic ones with a faux finish, that picture looks mighty familiar to me from browsing the designs.

Yep, that's just a plastic case with a metal paint job/coating/whatever.

Nvm, just realised it's a very recent post. Maybe it will be a metal top case after all!

"This new product is the keyboard Japan boasts the world top level machining technology"

They trolling us? I have been wanting a metal case for my Filco.
