    Being such a special computer, the Efika deserves a completely custom case!


    I wonder why bplan hasn't announced a "Give-Efika-Her-Face" contest yet. ;-)


    Because getting a designer to think up a case is not a problem for bplan & Genesi. On the other hand, organizing the manufacturing of a case and finding the right amount of customers to make it cost-effective is considerably more difficult.

    As everyone will be aware, EFIKA is designed to be low in cost. A custom EFIKA case would have to fit the same criteria which only works if you produce a reasonably big amount of cases (economies of scale). This is usually not something you arrange in your lunch break... Plus, there is always the option of just taking an existing case which is available in large numbers and can be modified to make an EFIKA fit inside perfectly.
