Yeah, the odds are sadly against you.
I'd love to get one but I've moved on personally. I held off on ordering and given the woes, I have to say I was rather fortunate to in fact hold off.
Got a tip for us?

They released another update. They still say "Things will improve" but people are still reporting not even the first 10 have shipped yet. I really wish I never backed this as I cannot get a refund, it was literally equivalent of lighting my money on fire.
I was thinking this might be a neat case to upgrade to a full-size desktop with (I desire some video capture gear that would be cheaper/easier as a PCI-E add in versus a USB-C device) but, I found the same. Linus Tech Tips even amended their video and pinned a comment about the situation.
Unfortunate because it is a very attractive product.

That's a fake account created in December most likely by them to keep the fad going.
Ive monitored this project from 2019 and early 2020 I knew beyond a doubt its a scam. They were about to ship units just before corona hit and suddenly whole shipping turned into working on prototype. If that doesn't scream scam I don't know what is. I was amazed though how people can be guillable - fed with countless BS excuses that didn't make sense and exposed one thing - they tell lies after lies. I guess hope always dies last. Btw I'm impressed how they managed to get people to double down and pay 350 for expedited shipping that will never happen. Exploiting textbook human behaviour.
People shouldn’t buy products that rip off others hard work. How can you trust a seller who does this? Apparently not.
Apple has been guilty of this in the past, here's but one link. I had other items in my mind but a quick google came up with this:
16 major iOS 14 features Apple 'borrowed' from Android and Google
Every company does this, so I'm not being anti-apple.
As for this case, when it came out, I was really excited to build something in this design, but at this point I find that there are so many better PC cases that offer a beautiful design and build quality. I could be wrong, but there's no filters in this case, so if you use any fans to pull air in will also pull dust in.
Still, if I found this case on ebay, I would be sourly tempted to buy it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Better policy is never buy on crowdfunding sites- majority are scams
The best game I have played recently (physical game not video game) is Exploding Kittens. Also, I have an amazing iPad kickstand for drawing. Both were on crowdfunding sites.
Was it an iPad game? I just thought it started out as a card game - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elanlee/exploding-kittens
Yeah it started out as a card game, then came the iOS game. Really anything Matthew Inman (the oatmeal) is involved in on kickstarter seems to be legit.
The last update they appeared to provide was nearly 5 months ago, I'd say this is more scam then anything.
I saw something a while ago about a group of backers getting ready to file a class action lawsuit, not sure if they did or not.
You mean-they DID use the pandemic and China problems as an excuse to further delay. I am in for a Pro case, likely will never see it. I think they took the $ and ran. Fool me once....
I also ordered a Dune Pro dice case that, obviously, never arrived. Fortunately I didn't buy expedited shipping. I found this great web site yesterday describing the scam: https://dunescam.com
