I liked how you removed the plastic LCD frame so that the light shines through!

yeah this looks pretty great.  sparked an idea! 

and the LCD stays in place perfectly, they didn't shift despite being sent from PA to NC, then NC to NY, then NY to NC, now NC to PA.

it is really sad. 

my money is on that. 

people have been known to attack/eat others while on other drugs, pcp for example.  long term psychosis is a real side effect of a lot of things too many people are doing now.  meth deserves mention...

you can pick and choose current events and create any sort of narrative.

bath salts.

nerd-rix, ikinari, musictech, musicbox, nanonoice, pushpin, muddyGB, electric drum

those would fit.  can't speak to compatibility, musictech especially is choosy with flash carts.

^ yeah, there is a lot of interest for the 2nd batch, due entirely to your cryptic way of talking about the next 'color' i think tongue

just a friendly warning....

i must have priced these really well or something, because the first batch is going scarily fast.  there IS another batch planned right after this, sending payment today in fact, it will not be the same color however.

heads up.

thanks everybody for the feedback!  its much appreciated smile

if people can send me the cases, i can match colors.  thats not a bad idea, i just don't have the cases to do this with.

it'd need to be a donation, may not be able to get them back to you.

for a while, there will be smaller runs of different colors.  we plan to keep white, black, clear, and light grey stock.  and do runs of whacky colors apart from this, in limited form.

the material is abs, same as the original cases.  any type of paint that bonds to plastic should work. 

airbrush/spray paint would work the best, you can get clear coat spray too if you want to go all out...

i really like the look of matte finish in paint, rather than gloss.  it being suitable for plastics is really the main thing though.

hey everybody!

alright. pretty big news.

everything is at a point where i can start shipping, so have at it!

this batch matches the original light grey of the dmg console, seemed the suitable color to get started with these cases. the next batch will NOT be light grey, so if this is a color you are determined to have its better to get it now rather than wait. its the plan to keep this color in regular rotation but there are no assurances.

i've had several people contact me about the packaged deal we had at blipfest with this case. if you wanted to recreate that package, this is what you'd need:
-- 1x http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/custom-dmg-case
-- 1x 'dmg - light grey' http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/custom-buttons
-- 1x 'dmg - black with 5mm LED hole' & 1x 'white with 5mm LED hole' http://store.kitsch-bent.com/product/re … nt-screens

that'd be the blipfest package.

well that does it. till next time, keep chipping!

Wait so is the grey case with grey buttons and screen a blip only thing? How many we're made? Is it some kind of limited release type thing?

the entire packaged kit (at a discounted price) was, yes.

there were a total of 172 cast in the light grey batch, the first test run.

no, its not.  the next color won't be the light grey, but it is something we're planning on keeping in stock once we're able to think in those terms after some of the mould cost is taken care of...  as well as a stock white and black most likely.  other colors we will rotate in/out and probably make them limited runs.
