Finally got a reply from Sunmilo (in Chinese). And no he won't post to the UK because the courier he uses (SF Express) doesn't post to the UK. I just did a quick check and it seems to be true 
What a shame. I might just do an intellectual property theft and steal his design and make one myself
Download the WangXin app, search for the seller's name and send him a message in English. That's how I contacted Sunmilo. Don't forget that it doesn't actually fit full length reference cards (267mm) and choice of FlexATX PSUs is limited! Also personally I think the handles look kinda ugly...

Oh.. Thanks that's smart
Yeah I agree with all of your points, but I really need to start getting something together to replace my shitty laptop
And since my best bets the S4, and the Sentry still have quite some waiting time, I will need to grab the next best option ><
I think you can order from Sunmilo if you use an agent. Seems their is enough interest maybe i should consider that line of work....
Sunmilo cases wouldnt be too difficult to make. The frames are very basic and just use cheap rails welded together. Just need to figure out what you want on the outside to cover it up.

Not even welded. It's just 20mm aluminium extrusion with M5 bolts to the front and rear panels, then M3 screws to the other panels
But everything is anodised and chamfered, with some bending required too. So it won't be a quick or easy job if one was to make it the same quality...
But yes I'm going to try and get a quote from dotdotbuy!
I want a little bit of customisation (more vent holes) though so not sure how that's going to work through an agent.

What kind of power supply is in that case? Looks like a TFX power supply.

I thought the case looks a bit familiar. I don't think the guy made that case, I think he is just modifying one that's sold by a different guy/company:

Ah, I see it now. He just put a FlexATX power supply in a bigger enclosure that looks like TFX.
That variation of the case does have different vents, I expected it to be more gaudy honestly. The case maker must be a fan of Batman and Agents of SHIELD.
I'm bumping this thread for another case I found. It's the ARCUBE, a cube case that's available both in anodize aluminum finish and all acrylic. But both versions have a smoke acrylic panel in the front, so you see the interior from the front instead of the side like in most cases. I quite like the hinges of the front panel, looks like what you'd see installed on cabinet doors.
A crazy watercooling loop showing the convenience of the slide-out motherboard tray:
It fits a mITX board and upright mITX card, to at least 200mm in length. Some packages include a Flex-ATX power supply (or maybe it's a short 1U), and there's also NAS configurations for multiple drives in lieu of using a tall CPU cooler. Another option is a VFD display for HTPC use.
Here's an unboxing thread on Chiphell showing the bare case, and then a complete build with the display.

I tried to buy the Arcube case back in January, but I think the guy is having trouble actually manufacturing the case. He told me about 2 weeks to deliver but cancelled the order. Since then I've seen almost no new reviews of the case on his Taobao account, so I think maybe it's not actually available - he's looking for someone to buy the idea and design from him, or to help him manufacture.
Sounds like a situation of seeing demand for the product and having a couple orders lined up, but not enough funds to fulfill the orders. Or, even if he receives payments for the orders, that there aren't enough of them to meet the MOQ for his manufacturer.
It's too bad that the manufacturing has halted because it's a simple but flexible design. On Taobaocart the Arcube is shown to be "in advance" so I guess it really is put for back-order only.
