I would get one if it didn't require me to purchase another Filco.

That looks quite nice, actually.  Not that i'd buy one, it does not match my decor.

Gold one is so baller, seriously tempted but £234 ($375 or so) just seems steep for a filco tkl

I couldn't make this out from their info, but are the gold and metallic ones made of some kind of metal or colored plastic? Is the wood one actually wood?

"Cleaning cloth provided" - wonder if it is a fingerprint magnet.

This is sort of old news, from what I remember they're just overpriced vinyl covers. I wouldn't recommend them.

I don't suppose Filco cases are compatible with Ducky TKL boards?

I couldn't stop myself getting it the moment I set my eyes on the red wood one.
Wasn't too pleased with the purchase though, cos the texture on the unit I received isn't as wood-like as they pictured it =(

Plus it had several silvery scratches. And when I asked them if it'll happen again if I purchase a 2nd unit or not, they replied rather rudely =\
I purchased the one that came with the keyboard, and interestingly, the bottom part is more textured than the regular Filco.

The red wood one isn't wood. It seems to be a plastic fiber of some sort.

I don't find them to be a fingerprint magnet, but they do require a bit of a wipe from time to time to rid of dust.
I don't use the cleaning cloth they provide though cos they are rather harsh.
