Received my red case today.
Pros:
Impressive fit, perfect anodizing finish and color.
Feels solid and heavy, much better than the plastic case.
Cons:
1. The aluminum feet raise the back too high and make the front edge of the case scrape the desk's surface.
2. The supplied white adhesive 3M "feet" pads don't help with the aluminum feet (unless you put them right at the front edge of the case - see picture below.
3. I'll probably need to remove the aluminum feet an just use the 4 white adhesive pads.
4. The supplied adhesive pads should've been black (not white).
5. The original felt pad inside the Leopold case can't be used in the aluminum case (it makes it too thick).
In summary, it's a great case. Don't bother ordering the "feet" - they suck on this case. Pads should be black.
SilentlistenerThere's only one screw - it's under the "OK" sticker. The case is held together with molded clips all around the bottom edges. I used 4 credit cards - slip them (two on each long side) in-between the outer case edge and bottom base working with the kb upside down. Keep all 4 cards in place as you work to free the corner clips with a small thin bladed screwdriver and it will eventually pop open.
