What is name of Ultra's verison of Eclipse

[you2]

It is my understanding that Ultra is releasing a version of the Eclipse case. Has anyone seen tihs case advertised or know the price ?

It's not there yet... Get the Global Win if you want something any time soon.

Sigh. Was told this would be available by late july... You think it will be longer ?

 

[Zepper]

If you want for sure, ask Ultra.

I did email them but they have not responded

 

[Zepper]

Try phoning them. A lot of these companies aren't very quick on responding to eMail.

I received an email and they basically said they have no information. I might try giving them a call. To be honest most of the small companies I've emailed have been very good at responding with detail suggestions/comments/feedback. G.Skill for example has given me countless very details suggestions and when a stick went bad they were very quick to replace it (ok off topic but a thumbs up to g.skill). Another thumbs up for response has been global-win. I'll probably buy the case from global-win but I prefer a black case without the plastic brazel and wanted to see if the ultra met this desire prior to purchase.

Did you see the Akasa Eclipse-62 at Sidewinder?

 

[Zepper]

Eclipse at Sidewinder - OOS - and I don't see him getting any in any time soon. At his price after shipping, you may as well do a self-import.

Per Zepper comment that case has been 'sold' out forever. The price is not that bad (I did look into importing a case from europe and it was well over $200). I'm hopeful the Ultra version will be less expensive and nicer - though when I 'need' a case I'm going to buy it and if worse come to worse I'll either go with the global-win version or silverstone tj09. Hopefully (for me) ultra will get their act together before I 'need' it.

Hum... So the new case from Ultra will be called M998 and a couple of stores have begun to add it to their catalogs (do a froogle search on Ultra M998). It is not yet available (they list it as back order) but i guess it will be availalbe rsn. These places are listing the price as $145 shipped so perhaps some of the higher discount places will sell it for a bit less. Suppose to be a little nicer than the global win version (some minor refinements) and have a nice finish (black) but it will @ current listings will cost about $30 more (globalwin was around $120 shipped).
