Aluminium Case being made!


These are pictures of metal samples...

The colors will NEVER look accurate on any picture, as aluminium has different reflections.
Exactly. ;) Hard to get an idea about how the real finished cases will look until we can finaly see them. ^^

If you're too scared, you can wait with your order until they are ready.

If we get at least 100 ordered, we can easily produce more.
Not scared but I'm sure you will get more orders once the final pics of the Alu cases are ready to be shown in your shop. :) I will not buy one, my Pandora has crappy WiFi even with a plastic case and I have no working WiFi stick. I better start to save money for the Pyra then but I'm happy that the Pandora will get an noble Alu case at the end, well deserved imho. ^^
 
placed my order moments ago. Very excited about this.

Just so you know.. I purchased a wifi stick for my pandora on amazon years ago for about 12 dollars. Its worth the investment.... and its a small accessory.
 
5 sold :) Really nice initiative. And i hope the outcome is that the pyra is also offered in Alu.

Never been happy with the plastic case, and i know ill use my pandora more if i can have it be aluminium.

Edit: 6 sold. Very good considering not many know about it yet.

Wondering what kind of screws are to be used? Torx was most popular in the other casethread because it absolutely prevents using the wrong bit for the screw.

Also hoping IDV can share his thoughts on offering an alu case, design and so on.

Im assuming the casefiles for the alucase will also be open?

I put up all the information i could assemble here http://pandorawiki.org/Case#Aluminium

I will order a couple. A realistic rendering or a form of product depiction would most certainly motivate more Pandora users to place the pre-order towards goal. As far as we know of the product visually are two shades of colors that are approximately $130 each. :unsure:
 
Niiiiice - just joined the list. Gives me an excuse to buy a new LCD at the same time :)
 
Edit: brb making bank withdrawal, note to self don't forget mask and gun.

I was thinking it would go more like this. :D

One thing I forgot to ask.

Will there be issues with the surface if I mod the case (drilling holes and filing tiny notches in the upper edge of the bezel)?

I want to keep my shoulder button and keyboard light mod.
