- no keyboard supplied (perhaps a new Kickstarter soon!)
- No AMIGA sticker to avoid patents and/or copyright issues - About the trapdoor & plastic tab (rear the AMIGA): these 2 pieces will be supplied! |

Sounds great! Make a transparent one and I am in
Would love an A600 one. Since you are indeed making 3D models to create the cases, can you introduce upgrades to the case? |

If the Kickstarter is reached (link in approx. 2 weeks), then the colored cases may be considered. But each color change has a cost relating to purge the press. Wait & See... |

Yep, original white, black or transparent are nice.
Let's see what the price is. |

It would be nice to replicate the Amiga Team signatures embedded in the A1000 (there is high resolution picture of it on the net).

Is this logo gonna be on the final molds? Don't like that myself, hope it's just for the temporary picture?
I will probably get one if they have the classic 'Amiga' like the original has or even nothing there at all would be better imho. My favourite colours would be Transparent, Black and Original A1200 Colour. Original Last edited by Kitty; 09 July 2015 at 06:29. |

For god sakes manufacture and sell them through china. Anyone chasing copyright there would be wasting their time. Then we can have 100% the original design.

Agree if we can't have AMIGA on there, rather nothing than A1200.

The housings will NOT have "A1200" text on them. There will be no wording at all. "AMIGA" as well as "Commodore" are still Trademarks. We're a small team of real A-Fans, and we do this because at first our own A1200 are super yellowed, plus scratches, some lasting holes as we did added/removed expansion cards.. As of mine i don't have trapdoors anymore ! We're going to create exact replicas of the original A1200. With some enhancements of course. And we know that we can't give satisfaction to all and every A lovers. You can follow our project on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/a1200housings From Amiga lovers to Amiga lovers |

But not having the Amiga emboss logo is bad. Have you even tried getting permission from whoever holds the Amiga brand to do this? You are making a hardware object, the copyright owners do not produce such things. |

@Akira: which is the official owner of the Amiga brand? And will he be OK to see "Amiga" on these cases, without asking a financial part?

And how is the trademark? Can you put "Amiga" or "AMIGA" or "- AMIGA" ?
In any case I preffer to have "A1200" (I doubt that's copyrighted) that nothing. It should be engraved though, like the original. If you can't put either "A1200", something has to be there engraved. "A-Fans" is very nice for me. Last edited by Retrofan; 10 July 2015 at 03:13. |

A replacement case for my A1200 would be grand IF it came in black and had matching key caps.
I am not really bothered for the embossing.. I'm looking at my screen, not ogling my amiga so i wouldn't notice it if it were gone. |
