New Breadbin cases

Just in case someone missed it:

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/commodore-64-breadbin-case-y..

With the usual warnings: might be scam, will probably be very late, shipping and VAT is unknown etc.

Hard to commit without the exact shipping quote as we’re talking about Australia.

Shipping prices change so frequently these days that crowdfunding campaigns for printed matter rarely quote in advance, much less a large boxed item.

But yes, it's AU so shipping will be very high

For some of us, it would make for much lower shipping :D

It's a shame they went for the inferior vic-20 style case though, even the original engineers hated it. c64c for lyfe! ( *runs* )

I actually like breadbin better. I always hated how C64C case squeaks when squeezed. And the ratios feel all wrong. Now, a C128, that’s beautiful.

For pixelling with the cursor keys, I always found the C64C keyboard a lot more comfortable than the breadbin one. Nothing beats a C128D keyboard resting in my lap, though.

I do like the colours they've picked, the purple and green cases are extremely tempting, and the blue/red/clear options are nice as well, but I'm worried about the shipping costs.

Though I loved my C64C in the 80s, I learned to prefer the breadbin cases because the flat case can get you in trouble with some modifications

What I don't get is why they picked the dull grey F-keys instead of the fancy orange ones which provide the true (Sesame) Street Credibility

OMG! If you haven't already clicked that link, then DON'T DO IT!!

I just watched a lyrics breakdown of the classic "Hotel California" by the Eagles and it very much reminds me of what happened when i clicked that link a above. I short, it looks harmless and appealing at the beginning but you can never make the things you have seen *unseen*.. it may be too late when (if) you finally decide to leave.

That bad? :)

I never understood the appeal of colourful mods, blinkenlights or perversely exposed circuitry via transparent cases... but whatever floats their boat, i guess? =) If anything, you can spot lamers easier by just looking at their gear. :D

Transparent case is out of the mold:
