I love the design of your case. You did a wonderful job using the case design to allow for practical cable storage.

Dude! I want one of those. A black one would be awesome! Hell, I'll take a white one. I love the USB cable holding compartment.

That is sick. Where/How did you get the case made?

Imagine the 40% jdcarpe posted and a similar case, I'd be using this on the bus and subway too!

I'm impressed.  Definitely an interesting little case.  I'd love to see some more affordable 60% cases out there, especially with the GH60 around the corner.

Wow that looks great, makes me consider picking up a 60% just to take to campus.  (I usually spend a lot of time there waiting for traffic to die down)

That looks great, I was wondering what the bottom compartment was until I saw the picture with the cable inside. Really good looking + practicality :D

very nice.  Very very nice.  Does this have a snap on top or anything?  Anyone else thinking ultraportable?

I second this idea. Great thought!

The only single thing i don't like about my Poker II is the floating cable. With your new special board keeping the wire inside the case, it could easily turn into an "ultraportable" device.

I'll be honest, I'm way more interested in how you whitened your Surface Pro.

I was wondering if it would be open because greystroke has a pressure pot large enough to resin cast poker cases :)

I haven't even cast a successful keycap yet, it'd be a while before I graduate to full cases!

Although the thought had crossed my mind, given how small the Poker cases are in real life...

It's just a skin. There are many skins available for the Surface Pro. You can get a white one with a Windows logo from the Microsoft Store, they print whatever you want. I don't think the Microsoft Store has the skin for the sides as well. But there are many options for skins online, or you can buy vinyl wrap and wrap it by yourself.
