Thanks :) We were really bored with the selection of cases coming out and thought we could make something that was a better reflection of the concept behind the Pi.
Oh, I though it was going to be like 'a case for owning a raspberry pi'... most people I know have no idea what to do with theirs (although this probably say more about them).
Turns out we messed up the shipping rates, if you order we'll be happy to refund the difference or just get in touch and we'll be happy to handle your order in person :)
There are gaps in there for airflow around the ports and through the case over the chip and power. We've run it for 24 hours and it the result was it got warm on the bottom, so we've added bottom vents to the design which exhaust around the SD Card. We're happy the Pi won't choke.
As Paul said, feel free to get in touch. If you fancy having a chat on the phone then drop me your number and I'll give you a ring. (My personal e-mail address is in my profile).
Entirely depends on how well we do with this one. We hope to release something more, um, tasteful in the future. We started with the loud/retro/child-magnet case to start with to make a bit of a splash and make a statement about doing things a bit differently. And because we could :)

Well done btw :)
And thanks :-)
We'll be producing replacement layers that are used with the base Pibow case to accommodate it if there is enough interest!
