Is this case the exact same design as the plastic case that comes with the board? Or is it a lower profile one like this: http://i.imgur.com/hM0PT.jpg

Well we only have a few pics. My guessing it's the same profile.

It seems low profile.

You can cross check their pictures on facebook. That metal case's shape looks like their limited edition aluminum case.
They manufacture that metal case as you can also see it on their facebook.

what's the status with purchasing the poker 2 at the same time? Any chance we can get a cables discount with just purchasing the case?

Hey guys,
Just wondering if you let new members join group buys as I'd love to get one of these cases.

I read somewhere in the forum that the poker I have the same mounting as the pure/pure pro if I'm not mistaken (don't quote me on that one

) so hopefully
its got the same mounting as the poker II. If not doesn't hurt to have an extra case. I could always get one powder coated into another color.

AKmalamute · « **Reply #315 on:** Mon, 21 October 2013, 18:42:54 »

Well, I'm getting one. Not sure what switches will eventually go on whatever board I eventually get, but 60% is a good size, this is a good price, and Spirit has some enticing ICs for PCBs he's trying to drum up support for.

Guess I'm going with his 60, not 75% board.

(err, unless someone can quick-like recommend a good 75% metal case

)

Your order is there. I am sorry for not updating, I have had over 35 orders in the last few days so I am incredibly busy. I will get this thread updated this week and start arranging proxys for US and AUS.

Stevenator21 · « **Reply #321 on:** Tue, 29 October 2013, 15:44:24 »

a) Is this low profile?

b) Still taking orders for case w/ keybaord?

thoere · « **Reply #322 on:** Tue, 29 October 2013, 16:49:49 »

a) See earlier posts
b) You can try but due to a shortage of Poker IIs Pexon most likely won't be getting to place an order from Vortex.

jorgenslee · « **Reply #323 on:** Wed, 30 October 2013, 11:27:27 »

Vortex's facebook page just posted a new poker case. This might be the same case with this group buy.

slip84 · « **Reply #324 on:** Wed, 30 October 2013, 11:51:44 »

That'd be a pretty big departure from what they first showed, judging from the pictures on the page. Who knows? They're bad at this whole communication thing.

Here's the link to the album of Vortex's page: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.583328871734827.1073741837.241720585895659&type=1

Comparing it to the case posted by TEX here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=590573984311638&set=pb.472792412756463.-2207520000.1383158414.&type=3&theater

I think it's a different case.

jdcarpe · « **Reply #328 on:** Wed, 30 October 2013, 14:01:53 »

It's not the same as the TEX case, for sure. However, that case looks milled, not cast. No way they can make a milled aluminum case for $50 retail.

If this is the case (no pun intended) I would be extremely satisfied.

StylinGreymon · « **Reply #330 on:** Wed, 30 October 2013, 17:08:26 »

How is it that no one quite knows what case we're getting?
I was under the impression that it would be just like the stock Poker II case, only made from aluminum.

Is this wrong?

Signature · « **Reply #331 on:** Wed, 30 October 2013, 17:27:58 »

Well since we just have one Picture we are not really sure, but there are some peopl that speculates that its a low profile case. My best guess is that it´s a low profile case!

This was my assumption when I placed my order. There are height considerations that can be had, but all I care about is the price is right, and it fits my PCB.

Every single person I've ever talked to about Vortex has complained about Vortex's lack of communication.
