Really excited to get it. I really wanted the pink but went for the black since it has more stocks. Baremetal is good also so that I can paint it red or gray

OMfG! You guys are awesome. After posting the sign up form I just went to do some product photo shoot. Wasn't planning to check back in till the next day, thinking you might take your time to sign up. Now it seems it will be sold out way before deadline at the end of the month!!!

Honestly, I am so moved (tears in my eyes)...
This gives me confidence to stock up 500 units up front. Hopefully, IF I can manage to pull off a KS campaign, it will be one of the few that can ship right after the campaign ends.

That is really great news. Just like with any custom case producer here. I wish you all the success.

Send it to Jays2cents, he can do a comparison. I'm a fan of Jay's channel. Dave2d is also one of my favorites. :D

@Bangle
Thanks, but since you are so critical of my product just makes me wonder if you are trying to troll and suggest I send to the same reviewers as Louqe's Ghost S1. Anyway seems Jayz didn't have a good experience reviewing that.

I hope that you are grown up enough not being what I suspect you of. And apparently you have been warned and banned already by the mod, good for you. If you really are trolling, bring it on and let me know, and give me a chance to report you again.:D

Not to derail but as an audiophile, I cannot help but notice and say nice open-back Audio Technica AD series headphones you got there! Which model are those? Of all open-back dynamics out there, the AD series given their limited availability are one of the last ones I have yet to have owned or have demoed at some point.

Cool stuff. I have always heard good things about the AD series being a good step above the—relatively speaking—muddier Sennheiser HD 500 series. Enjoy your cans!
I bought the to go with the massdrop modmic. But that dumb mod mic keeps falling off. :/ So I usually don't play with a mic, but if I do I switch to the Corsair void, or I just got the massdrop x Sennheiser pc37x (haven't used them yet, but I didn't like the earpads that much when I tried them on :/ but to be determined. Ido have a huge head so that might be part of it. They seem decent quality.... That being said I only looked at them for like 5 mins before I went to work)

Not trying to troll, since your case takes inspiration from our Swedish friends ;), and from a value perspective beats our Swedish friends, it will be interesting for a reviewer like Jay to give his 2 cents; as he would have experience in building in both. Your case is of a similar size, internal layout and design language, so the issues he ran into and how they have been resolved would be a good starting point. It would also be interesting to know 'big shot' youtubers views on the value/ quality argument many have put forward within various counter arguments.

I don't see why you would raise an issue in me suggesting Jay and Dave, they are 'big shot' youtubers, with many followers, many of which might also members of this community. Its a good marketing opportunity for you, is it not? They also have experience with a product which you got your inspiration from (your earlier posts basically say this). See a review of the 'Steck vs Louqe', as like a laptop review. Dave often compares laptops; laptops which are often similar in design language, but come from a different price point usually. So I don't see why the idea of a 'Steck vs Louqe' review would bother you. Or even a Steck review by itself from these 'big shots' would also bother you.

This is a community, and therefore ideas are both open to praise and critical review. For the record my ban was for my originally unhelpful critique and subsequent childish behaviour. I did eventually offer, as have many others, many honest views and recommendation. If you feel I was overtly too critical in my review please do let me know. I'm more than happy to have open dialogue with you. This is afterall a forum.

Happy to engage with you. If you want I can also suggest other 'big shot' youtubers that you may be comfortable with (i.e. those that haven't seen a Louqe [albeit a protype] in the wild.

Please explain your comment:

'I hope that you are grown up enough not being what I suspect you of'

What do you expect me of? I assure you i am a fully grown adult, i have a passport which says so at the very least. :)

If you are trying to get me banned for making a credible suggestion, then go ahead. In my opinion it ultimately shows that you are not here to take on-board credible advice if it doesn't suit you; and the idea of a comparison scares you, in my opinion. All I wanted was for Jay and Dave to do a comparison, as they have first hand experience of a very similar case. Whats wrong with that? Am I being unreasonable?

Anyway, you still haven't my question on your comment:

'I hope that you are grown up enough not being what I suspect you of.'

I would also add

..bring it on and let me know, and give me a chance to report you again.


If you are going to accuse my of being something, at least have the b**l's to tell me what you think I am, rather than insinuating that you will get me banned, for suggesting a review by Jay and Dave. Please also click the report button on this post, my second response, and my original post. I said nothing wrong in the 1st place. I was offering advice, nothing more, nothing less. This is a forum, I can explain how they usually work if you want?

Lets get this straight. I don't like you and I am biased against you because of your attitude and past behavior in this thread. What's happened has happened and we cannot change that. Although you may have changed, I don't appreciate your comments in this thread. Damage has already been done and I have no intention of befriending you. I have no problems with others in this forum, so I am here to stay. I am the original poster of this thread, although I cannot stop you from posting here, I want you to know that I do not welcome you here. I hope I have made myself clear enough to you and everybody else how I think of you.

If you want to say something to me you can pm me instead, I don't appreciate you posting here. This will be my last message to you in this thread.

Well, I'm not Bangle, but as a potential buyer, I want to know what was so irrational behind his last questions...

I am a fan of Dave2D well before starting to write in this forum, and I pretty much enjoy his review of Louqe's case! At a point I watched it more than one time... Hence, a review of your case made by him would be very valuable to me, as I trust him and his (detailed) reviews. On top of that he's one of the few people who had the occasion to review Louqe one... So, his opinion/comparison is one of the most valuable in my eyes.

Secondly, as a potential buyer, I'm worried by your attitude. Louqe is bad with communications, but at least they seems to value quality and users suggestions on top of everything, even if this means upsetting a group of people by postponing dispatch to the first batch of their case to their backers... Yours, in contrary... Seems to not accept well criticism... And that doens't go well with case quality in my opinion!

The trolling has gone on long enough, measures have been taken. Let's continue this thread about what it's about: a case project.
As a reminder: "freedom of speech" does not mean "freedom to say anything without repurcussion". Civility and common decency is expected from everyone.

Hi there, sorry about earlier post that had you worried. It is only for that "one person". I don't want him to get anymore attention that he doesn't deserve so you may want to sift through earlier posts in this and other threads to get an idea about that guy. I value community participation greatly. And this is one of the reason why I am able to ship my product in such a short period of time. So, I think it is important that you do not take my post to him (only) out of context. The guy has been causing trouble and has been warned and banned by moderators before, his reputation is not exactly great.

Dave and Jayz are great reviewers. And there is plan to send some units for youtubers review.

If you have any suggestions for me, you are more than welcome to chip in. :D

@macbosco Good! Agree with you by the way... JayZ review of Louqe case doesn't impress me much. It was a good review, but it doens't seems to me he's used to SFF market. I watched just that review... So, this is a first impression about JayZ... I may be wrong!

Anyway I know much more Hardware Canucks... and to me they would be much more appropriate.

Jayz seems to be into the more hardcore stuff, custom water loop, custom mods, etc, well at least for his audience. Maybe he is just not really into SFF. Whereas for Dave I feel he is positioned more like Unboxing Therapy, more on "ready made" products i.e. notebook, smartphones, etc., but less on stuff that's required extra DIY work. Hardware Canucks seems to have the closest profile to what this forum is throwing out.

I am not familiar with online marketing, so I am not sure how to go about getting them to review them? Do they charge a fee? Do they want perks? Well I am just taking each step at a time, my plan is always to have the product totally ready before I move on to marketing.
