Totally understandable to want to defend a creator and friend in the community. I don’t know that many could fault that. So many times good creators give up because of drama. So, the less drama the better. And I’m glad things worked out as well as they have here.
I was quite disappointed when I read this but I am quite happy that ownership for this is being taken and apologies are offered. Sometimes we do make the mistake of doing something and not thinking if we should. We are all human. I’m glad a respectful outcome has been achieved.
If you've been thinking about getting an iMac G3 inner bezel, you can now get one for only $69! At least, if you are one of the first 10 customers ;)
Side note, there are additional items on the store page on sale for Black Friday.

To produce textured cases to match the original it would require another mold ($70k+) because these molds are a special material and diamond (mirror finish) polish which was $15k more. To add texture would be to remove that and not be able to go back.
So far about 160 actual cases are backed so the production order will be 200 units. I suspect about 20 cases or so will be available for sale after the Kickstarter (at the higher regular price) but I don’t suspect they will stick around too long.
After being sold out for years and having did 3 production cycles, finally there is a chance to get more. Slight retooling (improvements) to be made to improve the appearance. Hopefully enough demand exists, but many of you have been messaging about this for awhile!
