Dude, these cases are awesome, can we see pics of the thing all around? I'd be down for a case about the size of a HRAP stick.

I wouldn't mind having one but I'd like it slightly wider, I don't care for the square design of it. Other than that, it looks fantastic.

The finish looks so pro. If you manage to get a hold on an HRAP stick try to take some measurements, that size would be a winner, maybe a bit expensive but I'd be willing to pay for a good case with that type of finish, that is some really cool looking material. You can keep the curves basic like you have been, it's just a matter of size, room for your hands, the angle, that type of thing. HRAP2 measures 9" front to back x 16" side to side x 3" tall overall. Just some food for thought for your next project.

These look nice, I'd like to pick up a modern design with a pure 4-button layout.

thanks for the sizes will try to add more shape to the next one i think.only trouble would be the weight .its made from a solid block of alloy.wall thickness is 6mm. will draw something up in cad,see what everyone thinks
if i were to make these,has anyone a design they would like on the surface,what colours etc

I hope these do come to fruition, as Xian Xi mentioned if the unit was a little wider it would be nice, but it is personal preference. I recently got a HORI RAP 4 and much prefer the wider base over the Mad Catz sticks. I think Red and Black options would be good as to satisfy MVS/CMVS and AES users, standard 30mm arcade buttons in Rainbow layout or a 6 button version with support for other retro system like the Mega Drive/Genesis and SNES but I imagine it would be harder to get a multi console stick setup. Regarding the logos, maybe just the standard NEO GEO logo might be enough, perhaps the Japanese version.

In any case I do love what you have produced it is a very nice stick.
