That's an amazing idea. Are those sheets made out of matte PMMA or some other material? Glossy acrylic sheets are a fingerprint magnets, matte panels would solve the problem. I'm gonna order them and check how they look on the next prototype.

As far as I know from the LZ7 thread, the acrylic panels are sold (B2B) as matte black and I believe a few other colors. The sides are glossy though.
The matte panels definitely feel more luxurious and higher quality, from feedback received was overwhelmingly in favour of matte, so all panels are now matte as standard with options for glossy panels.
Ponoko do matte finish in 3mm panels, but not 5mm last time I checked. If you wanted I could laser cut them for you, probably for a lower price (probably).

Wow that's a great info I'm gonna switch to matte panels right away. Doing a quick research I found Perspex S29221 matte black sheets around the area where I live. I'm using 3mm thick sheets, they seem to be stiff enough. Thanks for the offer I'm very greatfull. I have an access to a laser cutter but just at the prototyping stage. Let's talk later.
Guys I would be very greatfull if you could answer some questions in the survey I've created https://******/forms/1nfZW3iupvvZ1wqv2 . It would be a huge help for the project and for the whole community since it contains some general questions. Please answer them even if you are not interested in the project or buying xCase.

I'd like to thank everyone who filled the survey. Results helped me improve the design of xCase, furthermore they will help me design future cases. If you didn't fill the survey yet but you would like to - go ahead, I'll be checking new answers every few days.
I'm proud to say that the wait for xCase Nano is over! I've recently manufactured the preproduction unit and I'm blown away with how great the case looks. An advice to switch to matte side panels was one of the best I've received so far. They look awesome and I'll offer them as a default finish option. Case supports 12 mm vandal buttons now.
I'm starting manufacturing the first batch of 5 black units of xCase Nano (finish straight from the printer, matte black side panels). They should be ready 3 weeks from now. You can preorder the case by sending me the private message. The price is just $99 (shipping not included). Feel free to message me if you have any questions regarding the case. In the meantime I'll start working on a website with online shop and prepare for production of xCase 1080mini / AC.

@Signols Expect it in 3 - 4 weeks, I have to prepare bigger printers which takes some time. You can count on me sending you the first unit as soon as it's ready.
Okay, I'll be watching these forums for the pre-order and hopefully be able to grab one.
I prefer the layer look because it looks more like brushed aluminum.
Not this one, but there are a few floating around here
Guys, just a little teaser before an official online shop is open - there is a new design option coming!
Looks awesome @Matt3D !!
What kind of monstruosity 3d printer is used? The results are suuper clean and the kind of brushing effect is a very nice touch!
