Digilog is the only aftermarket Realforce case I know of and haven't heard of any complaints about quality. Designing and trying to mill your own would be stupid expensive.

BTW, take a breath when you post. Your run-on sentences are very hard to read.

I dunno, but the Digilog case is something I never really hunted for my Topre. I mean, they're one of two aluminum cases out there for the Topre, but the colors offered seem kinda...ugly.

Here's hoping someone in the future decides to make more colors!

Don't get this incessant need to keep on buying Aluminum Cases for Realforce Keyboards?

First off, the RF is the very best thorpie, made for the public.  Their case is firm and stable so why the need to throw it away for some dodgey-arse aluminum case, made by nobody's?

Just stay with the original keyboard because it still is better than any aluminum case, plus you'll save hundreds which can go for another future RF keyboard purchase.

Elrick, I was reading a GH thread from about a year and a half ago and noticed that you seemed to scoff at Topre Realforce boards. What changed your mind?

Not scoffed but suspicious that a Thorpie could be that good but now and again when I use the humble 55g, it's still the BEST thorpie keyboard out there hands down.

I might of caught some serious Cherry-myelitis and it affected everything related to my bias, towards anything connected to CherryMX hardware.  Have now been cured and whilst I still like the CherryTrain, my heart is still owned by RealForce.
