It looks like the plate is a bit off, you might can sand it down a bit, but I doubt it'll look perfect then, as the corners would be a bit sharp.
How does it fit in the original case?
If you are willing to mail me you plate and case I will fix that for you.

Your pok3r plate is bent. Been seeing alot of Pok3r with various defects. I myself have gone through of them with a case defect, keycap defect, and usb female plug broken. Here is what a Pok3r in a Tex case should look like.Show Image(http://i.imgur.com/On7JyYP.jpg)

It's not bent, it is too long. Mine also fits in my TEX case, however the Vortex case has tighter tolerances and it will not fit in either of the two I have. All my other 60% boards fit in the Vortex case no problem.
Does the plate on your Pok3r match up to the PCB or does it run a bit longer on one side as mine does?

vortex case is very challenging, here's a possible solution:
Drill the PCB-holes
Some PCB's come with wide holes so you can center the plate easily, yet obviously that's not the case with the pok3r you have, if you drill the pcb-holes/enlarge them, you can move your plate a bit to the left so it barely fits
That doesn't look right. I have the same case with a Poker III with MX-Clears and it fits near perfect.This is what I needed to know. Thank you very much. :) I will fix up the plate to fit appropriate. I love that the Vortex case fits so tightly compared to others. The QC on the Pok3r is not exactly up to what I was expecting. :rolleyes:
Great! Glad I could help. BTW how are the greens on the Pok3r? I am feeling the itch again - haven't tried the greens yet :-X

My Pok3r has a defect as well. The case is "warped". That is, it does not sit flat on the desk -- the keyboard wobbles. Fortunately, I don't notice this when the keyboard is placed on my wide mouse/keyboard rubber mat.

My pok3r was a joke.Show Image(http://i59.tinypic.com/20sa7g0.png)
This straight out the box and the second one had bubble on the pcb that once scratched revealed yet more rust. Instead of trying to give people a solid case and cut corners elsewhere they should have just stuck with solid plastic. Pretty poor show.

I have alu vortex cases, they wobble too, my solution was to re-attach the rubber adhesive, slightly above the slot so it stresses the surface unevenly
This is why I like the cases that use dome adhesives, the circle shape of the rubber prevents wobbling, both the TEX cases and the slim vortex cases use those adhesives
Once again, another easy solution is to just buy and stick some dome adhesives, even if your case is warped, they might be able to offset that (they are soft, soft enough to absorb 1-2mm of unevenness)
These reports make one wonder if Vortex is dumping their irregulars on Group Buys. Alternatively, quality control at Vortex in general is quite poor.
BTW, I was disappointed in the quality of the legends on a recent purchase of Vortex double-shot PBT keycaps, and the fit of the stems was inconsistent across the keyboard.

Hate to be a buzzkill, but yours also doesn't fit, the plate should be flush with the case (sit below the case by 0.1mm)
But I guess 0.2mm above could also work
