From the picture, it looks like a red plate, sandwitched in acrylic with a metal top plate (for decoration, I imagine)

Sadly, it also appears to be just a render. Someone made this in a CAD program, I think.

Sweet layout, though. I especially like the spacebar-row. I think the spacebar looks asymmetrically placed and slightly larger, which is prefect forright-thumbers like me.

If it got made, I'd expect it to only see light in Korea: They make all the custom keyboards, it seems.

I would love if we could make a metal case for a HHKB.

I've actually seen another picture of this case which im pretty sure is real. i hope somebody does make these, they are just beautiful.

Looks like a 7x spacebar, and cream cheese is not stark white.
