You might want to look into using Swill's plate builder, it'll give you a plate with the switch cutouts and basic dimensions, then you can build off that.
It think it looks alright so far, are you just going for the bent plate/exposed bottom look?
What keyboard size would it be for?
I have a case that looks completely different on top, but I made the back foot as one long edge that touches the desk at an angle like your design.
I cut a groove in the centre for the USB cable. After plugging the cable, I covered it in U-profile rubber edge trim, specifically this one (http://www.kuntze.se/products/gummilister-tatningslister-borstlister/u-gummilist-med-rund-botten-106) (The page is in Swedish, but there is an image) from a local store that specialises in rubber products. You should be able to find something similar in your town or on eBay. I also cut a smaller groove in the U-trim - and with the cable in there I think that should prevent the trim from sliding sideways.
Your design looks too flat. If you plan to build the bulk of the case of flat layers with cut holes in them, then you would need at least three layers: one layer for the plate, one layer for giving room inside and one bottom. Don't underestimate the space you will need for the switch pins or the controller.
You could perhaps give the controller even more room by cutting off parts of the top plate that will be covered by the L-bracket.
There's plenty of cheap 60% cases around; 75% would be interesting.
If I did go 75% I think id try and go full keyboard kit, or at least case + pcb.PCB, interesting. What layout do you have in mind for shift keys and bottom row?

Looks like a whitefox (vanilla).

I had actally never seen a Whitefox before, now i feel less creative haha
BTW, in my own very personal subjective opinion, I think that
1. You should make the edge of the keys on the left and right sides be flush with the edge of the plate/case.
2. There should be a raised edge at the front border, like there is at the back.
... Only because I dislike the look of exposed switches with fat borders.

Well, you do have a slightly different logical layout. Not saying it as criticism, just making sure you're aware.
Having dedicated function keys would probably make a difference in terms of distinguishing your board from the fox.
