Hey there guys,
can someone identify the case from the attached picture?
It was advertised to me as an FMJ-Case - which is obviously not the case ...
Was it sold in some sort of group buy?
Sorry for the pic, I only have this one from the seller ...
Regards

That looks a bit like a Red Scarf aluminum case if I had to guess (for a RS96)

I have never seen a full aluminum Red Scarf before.
They usually always had some form of acrylic incorporated in it.
I would say it looks more like a legit Lightsaver.
Though I never owned a lightsaver just Red Scarfs so I cant say for sure.

Sorry, I have to add that it's 60%

Doh.
Then probably just some Chinese knock off.
Duck, LZ, Hammer and FMJ typically mark their boards.

Hm, I've never seen a cheap one with an cutout in the bottom like this one ...

FMJ doesn't have any markings on the inside. It does look similar to a FMJ case.
Here's what the inside of a FMJ case looks like. Photo credits to photoelectric

Obviously there is a liner in that picture of the case but the screw holes and stand points match up. hKing, if you can I would ask for another picture at a different angle. Especially on the back where the FMJ marking would be.

My problem is that I already bought that one :-X
According to your picture, the clasps would match. They don't, blue case has 3, black case has 2!
But the blue case doesn't seem to have that cutout (at least I can't see it)...
Plus, the blue case has "sharp" edges, the case I posted has more rounded ones.
**** me, I do not hope that mate tricked me ...
Is it possible that FMJ had 2 revisions of that case?

Nevermind, the guy mailed me again: It's a knock-off from TaoBao :(

It is still a nice case!
I have a fake Hammer case in front of me right now.
I love it!
Has the nice sharp edges and shape like the original.
Just doesn't have the Hammer stamp on the bottom.

You're right Bromono.
But imagine you buy a car said to be a Ferrari. When you get it, it's a Benz because the seller tought it was a Ferrari.
Still good, but not what you had in mind :-[
Delivery is scheduled for tomorrow. I'll have a look into it...

Well did you pay the Ferrari price or did you pay the Benz price?
-
I paid Benz price.
I thought I made a good deal - so did he.
Wierd situation :confused:

I have a full aluminum RS78 in front of me right now

hmm that's cool.
Every time I saw group buys they always had some acrylic factored in it.
My RS96, Which I went all out on, had an acrylic bottom and aluminum top.
The previous RS78 I saw was 100% acrylic but with a cut out for a brass weight.
Mind if I can see a picture?
(Sorry if I am derailing thread)

Don't have a pic of mine on me, but here's the Taobao listing for the aluminum bottom: http://world.taobao.com/item/521856108013.htm?fromSite=main&spm=a312a.7700824.w4002-3817085419.84.UZW4BI
I'm not sure if those ever came with the GBs or were aftermarket though

Heys guys,
I received the case today!
It's really not that bad. To be honest the only thing that's missing is the FMJ logo...
I just installed my aluminum plate from the recent SentrantPC buy from Massdrop. I realized that the plate doesn't line up precisely with the inner case. The plate is slightly smaller on every side (maybe 0,2 - 0,3 cm).
Is that normal?
Next question:
What screws do you guys use? The ones that came with the case are a bad joke. They are so small that they can't hold the plate down...
