Hello geekhack fellows this is my idea in designing a replace case for the existing filco minila keyboard. The case it self is full alumium in three parts, with the middle plate running through the body, i have pick my ideas from Centre Pompidou, with the curve in the middle. This is my initial design and i have changed my idea based on the small group of minila users ![:-, i will be making this case as a keyboard as well to anyone who wants to have a 60% keyboard. I would like to keep the design simple while still hold the same size as the original minila case. Also the keyboard will provide normal 60% layout as well as minila and HHKB layout. Here are some renders i have made.

i also have an idea in making the middle plate in titanmium rather than alumium. Due to the strengh and thickness of the part.
Here are somemore of the case with keycaps

i would like know if anyone like the minila keyboard typing position with height support or without. Feel free to comment and i will be finalizing the design in the spring next year.
i will update this project again at the end of the year with the full keyboard design and price.
In the end, thanks to geekhack and you guys this is my first keyboard im designing for my 6 years old minila.
