What is the thickness of the case?
2MM @ SIDE
2.5MM @ bottom

Any chance for winkeyless/HHKB versions?  :)

HHKB and WKL can't be done with a 1 piece design.
Sure they could... just allow space to slide the PCB in? Maybe I'm ignorant of the tolerances.

You could have the spacers milled in with a keyhole type mill and then insert/slide the PCB in at an angle. But I'm almost sure that a 2 piece with spacers would be cheaper/easier.
thats an interesting idea

I would be interested in a Race and GH60.

The USB hole looks a little tight though, almost like the connector is sitting on top of the inner hole.
On the Race, the USB connector is almost wedged in it's so tight.

do you have a picture of the one for the RACE or is that not actually been made yet? the RACE is actually larger than the PURE, it is 75% instead of 60%

will look out for this...

love how there are so many cases popping up for GH60s; everyone's won't look that same.

^Ditto.

I've got three Poker PCBs on the way, no cases yet.  I would seriously appreciate a nice aluminum case or two!

I am not in a very good position to negotiate the price, somehow. And they didnt give a minimun number of production. Instead, the number must be divisible by 24.
And I am in china. the shipping can be pricey.

Earlier in the thread it was stated as $95-100.  Pretty good price if you ask me.  Of course, shipping would be on top of that.
