Spectrum · 16-March-04, 07:52 PM

it's real! go here to check it out in whatever language it's in.

Iateronmly · 16-March-04, 07:55 PM

That's floated around the net for ages. Haven't actually seen someone with it though.

GK!!! We need a review here!

corsair · 16-March-04, 07:59 PM

haha, cardboard premod anyone?

translate and read it, it's great
it even encourages modding
" It does not paint the wrapping and it does the warmth which the material has that way. For example if the child pasted the seal and/or scribbled mono it becomes original with very that and perhaps also attachment furthermore becomes deep."

yes I second the review

Spectrum · 16-March-04, 08:05 PM

It's a great case to use while you're builidng your dream rig.

If you wanna 'dry-run' a great new idea, here's a cheap canvas.

If you just need a spare sometimes.

Do you buy a cardboard temp and spend the time working on bigger and better things?

Actually, Popsicle sticks would be much easier to work with, as they are stronger and require less thought about support, won't sag in humidity, etc...

As a former corrugated designer, take my word for it that it is a pretty slick design, even more so when you consider that it was designed for manufacture (i.e. not a bunch of little pieces glued in there where you need it, but designed in 2D, cut out of one or two flat sheets of board and folded up into the shape you see.)

Wordbiker · 17-March-04, 10:42 AM

Dudes! This is from the same makers of the "Flying Nun case!

Monsignor Funkibut · 17-March-04, 08:04 PM

'former corrugated designer"?!?

This sounds like a story worth telling, my brother, preach on!
