    Thanks Hugo. Praise like that means a lot, especially from such a well respected community member.

    I have replied to your pm, but for the benefit of others...

    Until I have the first batch in hand and ready to ship, I am not taking orders. The reason for this is that I want to launch the cases on the analogueoctober website in the proper manner, making it easier to track. Taking orders via PM could easily lead to confusion if every passionate DD owner wants one. Plus, whilst I have yet to announce these over at Tapeheads, I no doubt will when all my ducks in a row... and then I'd have two batches of PM's to monitor.

    At the moment, I am looking at an ebay page embedded into the website, so postage etc is all taken into account, as well as other considerations.

    Anyway, glad your liking it. I honestly cant wait to get them out there and see your DD units in them!

    Craig

    PS: The only revision now needed is to have the external power supply hole widened a smidge and dropped 13mm. A minor misunderstanding on the back of the last notes from me.
    They have also addressed those nasty ball type studs and fully lined the inside so all studs are covered, and your DD body subsequently protected from scuffs etc

    The window is gorgeous. If you have been using an original case that has either cracked, yellowed or missing, this window is going to raise more than a smile. It looks and feels better than the original (which was always my main objective)

    AutoReverser just PM'd me and raised an interesting question. He wants to use the case for a non DD wm-5.

    With that in mind, I will be doing a limited run of 5-10 non embossed cases as well to go with the 50 embossed cases.

    So for all you non DD users with Walkmans that use the classic DD case layout, there is also that option (albeit in limited numbers for the first batch).

    Thought I would show you one of my fave units. I have had it for about ten years. Came from a Sony service centre, brand new with a full suite of boxed spares for the unit and the headphones. I never used it, because it was so new, I didnt want to spoil it. However, it sits so well in the new case that I think its going to get a lot of use now.

    Just arrived into the office to see this.....

    90 embossed with DD, 10 with no emboss

    As soon as I have time to do some sexier pictures and get this onto the site, you can buy them ;-)

    I've made this thread sticky as I think it's definitely worth it.

    Awesome

    The light box is all set up at my studio, I will be taking a few cases out for photography and share the end results tomorrow. Then I need to sort out the store page on the blog. Given my current workload, I hope that will all be in place for the weekend.

    I have also decided to include a couple of the new Sony Stickers with cases as a bonus.

    Is it too late to request one? :wink2

    Getting a DD within the next few days, it comes with a case but the seller says it's very worn.

    Fantastic workmanship, doublecee. I love the embossed DD logo! Now I just need a Walkman to go with it... :hmmm

    Anyone got a spare DD series Walkman they're willing to let go for a deprived student? :lollegs:

    I'm not convinced my parents would approve of me spending my maintenance loan on a 30+ year old cassette player, no matter how fantastic it sounds! :lollegs:
