Apparently backing this project caused my CC to become blocked as the transaction was flagged as suspicious.. But at least I was able to get it reopened after calling them and answering a few questions.

Gonna have to get a few of these cases for my aging A500s . Now if only they would make new fronts for the A4000D i would be a happy camper.

I would eventually like to see new A600 cases since the clips on them are infamous for breaking.

Seems unusual a bank would block a transaction from a large platform like Indiegogo...not like they are brand new on the scene. |

Any particular reason they moved from Kickstarter to Indiegogo?

Read the FAQ at the bottom of https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/n...iga-500-plus#/.
They link to Indiegogo's own comparison here. |

Will they be doing something about the clip that holds in the motherboard? that seems to be most temperamental part of Amiga 500 cases.

I think he's talking about the L-shaped clip that holds the motherboard in place along the bottom?
It can be seen here just below RAM chip #5: You sometimes need to flex the bottom base to get the motherboard in and out of that clip. I don't find it a major hassle, but I've often wondered why it even needed to be there since the two bottom screws holds the motherboard in place already. |

Well, it's an upside-down L. Here's a closeup.

- NEWS UPDATE -
► NO MORE STRETCH GOAL ON EXTRA COLORS! (Removed) ◄ VISIT HERE Today the Team would like to share with you an awesome news. - No more Stretch goals for Extra Colors! - Here what happened, and why we had a Stretch Goal first hand: Producing very small QTY in any given color is costly, due to the color change fee that any manufacturer charge you with. Small QTY like the PINK A1200 cases for instance. – Reminder: A1200 case colors were chosen by Amigans through two polls the team ran back in the days. Following A1200 case production, our partner informed us he couldn't operate the A500 case production under the same condition we agreed on the A1200 cases. This led us to create the Color Stretch goal you saw at campaign launch. For each color change through production, there is a color change fee. These includes:
This operation can take up to two days. The team has been in discussion with manufacturer since end of A1200 case production (for backers). Yesterday evening we ultimately found an understanding with our partner, and they agreed to proceed under the same conditions than production of the A1200 case, but this time for the A500 case.
The team is very glad to share this awesome update with you guys 😉 Thank you for your support. Like for the A1200 cases, we need all Amigans on this to create new molds for Amiga 500 cases. Cheers, Phil Last edited by amenophis; 07 April 2018 at 10:58. |
