Hello there!
When I bought the Phantom I knew that I wanted to do my own case for it. And since I have access to a CNC Mill and Lathe I decided to make it in Aluminum.
And seeing that it is hard to get a aluminium case outside the Korean forums made me think (with a bit of persuation) that someone else might want one.
The case is tenkeyless and I will also make a 7bit version of the case!
As of yet the case is not fully complete in the design phase. Are a few things left to do. Have yet decided on feet, the plan is to have multiple heights of the feet.
A prototype for the case is planned to be made sometime next week unless there is a delay in material shipping.
I know that Renderings means almost nothing. But you have to see the looks atleast ;)

Estimated Price is €170. Depending on how many orders i get price will go down and from the response I’ve gotten at Deskthority it seems that the price will be quite a bit lower :D
Shipping is about 20-25 Euro depending on where you live.
Edit:
Right now if everyone who as shown interest orders one, price will be close to $150. If I get more orders maybe price will drop below that!
Edit2: Price will stay at $180. School wants a fee due to the amount of cases. I’m sorry for this!
I was expecting that this would happen eventually… But not this soon. Still $180 is cheap for a case like this. But I fully understand those who cannot afford this.
I will make about $5 per case, so I am not raising the price to make money, far from it. I was making $30 before my school wanted a cut.
