Case

Cases

Black plastic or black plastic coated with gray paint.
Molded plastic by company in China that is now closed. The injection moulds are lost.

Manufactured in Germany on a brand new 5-Axis CNC machining centre.
Preorder by external company IDV engineering working with Dragonbox. A minimum of 100 orders is needed, the initial run is not limited to 100.
It is said that this is the cost of the project, and that its offered as a service rather than for profit.
AW-7075 (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.) [1]
All latches and notches on the original case design will be replaced by screws.[2][3]
Torx, hex or phillips screws is not known.
Costs 99 EUR (incl. VAT) A 35 euro service is offered by dragonbox to change cases. [4]
As a full aluminium case is also a faraday cage that sheilds wireless signals, plastic doors will be made to allow for connectivity. [5] This plastic door will be black and could have an antenna engraved on it. [6]
It is possible that an alu case will be offered as an option when ordering a pandora in the future, for the few that are left, if any.[7]

Can be used to modify the design, and is 3D-printable. Feel free to share modifications with the community.
