No side seam line (there is a hidden plate at back)

Magsafe-style cable on the outside (with USB type A on the other end). For those who prefer a regular cable, the magsafe head can be pulled out and a USB-C cable used.

The kit includes a custom internal cable and sub-PCB to replace the stock Topre cable that goes inside the case.

Internal surge and line noise protection on the sub-PCB.

Can be used flat (0 degree angle) or with (included) risers

At last, the time has come. Please make your voice count in this survey to make sure it happens.Proceeding from many lessons, tweaks, and improvements learned from my two rounds of Novatouch cases, I decided it was time to tackle something more ambitious: the beast that is the Realforce TKL keyboard (perhaps my personal favorite all-time board, keycaps notwithstanding).I have arrived at a core case design that I think will work and I'm currently getting prototypes made in various materials and experimenting with some other cool features.The main innovation I'm currently working on is that I want to try to make the case available in...STONE. Or, more precisely, a ceramic composite that is made to feel like stone but that has superior technical properties: namely, Dupont Corian (or similar). It's a non-porous material that is used in laboratory countertops, store displays, architectural features, and high-end artistic furniture. It is rarely used in consumer products, but with some care, the material is machinable. It is remarkably heavy and feels cool to the touch, similar to natural stone, but not nearly as brittle. Also unlike natural stone, it is impervious to staining due to its lack of porosity.It comes in all kinds of faux-marble patterns, but am mostly interested in white and black. Though it's hard to find examples of Corian used outside of architectural applications, here are a couple examples of consumer products made in Corian.If Corian doesn't work out, there is always good old anodized aluminum, in various colors.A quirky feature of RealForce keyboards is the wonky keyboard overhang at the top. I've contemplated various ways of perhaps using that dead space to a decorative end. If we do end up going with decorative plates, I'm thinking of making them magnetically interchangeable.Brushed metalWoodWe could maybe even add grooves for writing instrumentsQuilted leather (sorry for the crappy rendering, the real thing would look a lot nicer and not have those vertical lines) Sort of like something you'd see on the interior of an old Bentley or something.: honestly, I have no idea since this case's overall profile is significantly larger than the Novatouch, and if we end up using Corian, it's a rather expensive material. But let's assume, depending on finish and material, that we have at least one option around $250, with some upgrade options offered.Here is my prototype in aluminum, which is an alternate backup material if Corian doesn't work outAs I mentioned, it's currently in prototyping to verify the fit of the plate, etc. And I'm doing some experiments to see about the viability of Corian for this geometry and purpose.If you're interested and haven't already, please join my email list for announcements whenever something is actually available as a group buy.And, of course, thoughts, feedback, questions, and tomato-throwing are all welcome below.
