Deadline: August 7th (Closed).
I myself joint the exciting YAS62 group-buy ( https://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=87511.0;topicseen), and have been looking for a case option that may fit this unique layout since then.


There are not too many offers for high-profile keyboard case with blockers at the corners, and then I notice the latest offer of KBDfans.cn - the TINA 60%.
The link for original TINA 60% keyboard kit with 3 options:
https://kbdfans.cn/collections/keyboard/products/tina-keyboard-60










Currently, this kit is the only keyboard case kit in the market that offers blockers at the corners in a high profile setting. Other keyboard cases, such as Duck Viper case and FJELL case are only offered once in a while in a very limited number and usually in just the 7u spacebar HHKB-ish setting with 1.5u blockers at both corners.
The YAS62 keyboard kit needs a case with 0.75u blockers at both lower corners, if we do not want to tolerate the two 0.75u empty spaces. I am not sure if any of the above HHKB-ish case makers will entertain us, because it seems that they already do not have enough time and energy to entertain their usual followers.
In my opinion, the TINA 60% looks very decent for its listed price.
Upon contacting KBDfans.cn, Wei from KBDfans.cn is very kind to offer us, those who joint the YAS62 group-buy, a custom-made TINA 60% case with a tailor-made 0.75u blockers top-piece. The keyboard case kit will support PCB under-glow and they will offer us 3 color options: black, silver, and grey.

Pricing: $85 (USD) before shipping cost and before PayPal fee
What is even more kind of Wei is that it will be offered to us at a price of only 85 USD (vs 119 USD case-only free shipping listed on their website). The price 85 USD for us is a case-only price (i.e. without their PCB and plate) before shipping and PayPal fee.
This is probably a one-time-only production run, and the $85 (USD) special offer is limited to those who filled in the form for the purchase of TINA-YAS62 case(s).
Please fill in the form to show KDBfans.cn that there are enough people to create the customized case for YAS62.
