I found a good place to get acrylic custom cut, any chance of having a way to opt out of getting the case and not having to pay for that part?

CommunistWitchDrMake sure that the place you found can make the plate layer at a reasonable cost and with proper tolerances. It's a tricky piece.

PASSDROMIt's like 30 bucks just for the plate and I've heard good things about the site (Ponoko). It's more than I want to pay, but better than the clear.

CommunistWitchDrHuh, $15 per plate piece isn't too bad, really. How much are the other layers? If you just wanted the top to be opaque, it might be cheaper overall to get just the top custom cut and go with the standard case from this group buy. But that might not be what you're after, visually. I'm not sure what Massdrop would discount for the case in this group buy, but I bought just a case in the last Ergodox round, and it was $80.

PASSDROMThat was per plate. It'll be a good 80 bucks per hand at least.

CommunistWitchDrYikes. Well, at least then you'll get what you want. I think that the coloured paper version [0] looks quite nice, but to each their own. [0]: http://geekhack.org/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=22780.0;attach=18650;image

PASSDROMI second this. I really like the colored paper 'mod' and intend on doing it when I get my ErgoDox.
