Small batch cases are frustrating. It's hard to wait especially when so many people are now reporting that they got it. Even more so if you're an early backer. However, you did something good, and I personally thank you for it. You took a chance, made a sacrifice, and backed a project and a person at great expense. This wasn't a large company with departments for shipping, testing, production, or anything like that. You backed a person, and helped make their idea become a reality. Because of you and people like you, this case is shipping now.
People who get it during the first batch are also going to be the first group that has to make corrections in a design. I know this first hand. I have V1 versions of several cases that have gotten better over time. In Ncases alone I have had a V2, V5, and V6. The V6 I got just before the V6.1 came out! That's part of the sacrifice we make as SFF enthusiasts.
But just because he puts up a render doesn't mean he doesn't care. Designers design new things all the time. People are have been waiting for the C4-SFX but DonDan has put up two other cases as well. One will likely be in production before the C4 even gets offered for sale. That's just what designers do. They design. I would be more concerned if he walked away from it. He took his downtime, and worked on improving on the original design. This very well could have been a whole new case. Instead, it's a module that we all might get a chance to buy later.
...or not. This is the way of the SFF enthusiast. Still, I'll back it because I believe that Alex is bringing this all together now.
Again, thank you for being an early backer, and a foundation for the project. Stay strong.
