- Costs 99 EUR (incl. VAT) A 35 euro service is offered by dragonbox to change cases. [2]
- It is said that this is the cost of the project, and that its offered as a service rather than for profit.
- AW-7075 (540 N/mm²) (aluminium with Mouse gray or Jet Black hard anodizing.) (This is a hard coating atop the raw aluminium that hardens it and prevents corrosion. Normal anodizing doesnt leave the surface as smooth. The smooth surface will not hold paint, and the type of high grade alu used does not respond well to colour-anodizing in other colours than those offered.) [3]
- Hinge will be redisigned [4]
- All latches and notches on the original case design will be replaced by screws.[5][6]
- Torx or hex screws will be used [7]
- As a full aluminium case is also a faraday cage that sheilds wireless signals, plastic doors will be made to allow for connectivity. [8] This plastic door will be black and could have an antenna engraved on it. [9]

- (18 july. 01.23 +0200) EvilDragon: aTc, If the case won't work out, you get the money back.
- The cost of making just one prototype is estimated at 4000€, which, if divided on 100 preorders, would drive the price up considerably. Hence the limit of 100 to start the process for everyone. [14]
