Title: KUL ES-87 Color Case-Tops
Post by: aref on Thu, 19 February 2015, 12:42:29
Found these on Amazon for KUL's TKL; Tiger Imports is the seller of these case tops. Thought I'd pass this info along.

These are more expensive than I'd hope they would be at $40.  I'll probably wait and see if the prices come down, because I would love to pick one up eventually.  I wish they were as affordable as the replacement QFR top panels were.

Good grief, $40 for the case top? I was excited until I saw the price... QFR replacement tops are like $10  :-X

Me, too! The price is high for a molded case 'topper'. If it were for the entire case, $39 might be reasonable. But half a case, $20 with free shipping sounds about right to me. Nothing wrong with KUL's stock case top.

That's more than I was expecting, but considering KUL's dedication to quality I wouldn't totally pass it off.

I'd love to order one to test, but no $$$.

Has anyone checked MechanicalKeyboards.com to see if they have the cases? Maybe 00ZerO or JoshMK would offer GHers a discount? AFAIK, MK.com is TigerImports.

Not sure how these colors would look, but the price is a bit steep, isn't it.

Yeah, that's probably what I would do. At least with the Leopold you won't have to worry about finding replacements for the stock caps.
