Updates:
1/5/21 - Thank you all for your amazing feedback so far. I just wanted to chime in with the current status

  • We have decided to upgrade the window to Anti-UV Polycarbonate instead of acrylic.
  • We are working on a stand, however we are not sure certain if the stand will be ready for the pre-sale. If not, it will be available as an add-on while the pre-sale is in production. The current stand design features an 11degree angle, however if you have suggestions on different tilt angles, please let us know :)
  • If you’ve filled out the IC form, you will receive an exclusive buy link before the public pre-sale. We want to be certain that those who have contributed with feedback have a chance at purchasing the case. We are very close to announcing the pre-sale, so please look out for that update shortly.
    Thanks!
