Hey I just stumbled upon this CPS3 acrylic case on TaoBao. It's a fully enclosed case and is shaped exactly like the metal enclosure. Anyone else seen this or already got one?

I like the clear frosted one! Can’t stand the finger print magnets my other acrylic cases are.
 
I like that a lot - depending on shipping cost I’d love to get one to see what they look like in person
 
Keen to combine shipping @xodaraP — maybe they’ll pop up on AliExpress?
 
I need a guide on how to use Superbuy, lol

I can’t see where to tell them what colour I want

I've never actually used SuperBuy as a proxy. I've only used TBFocus and you usually message them instructions on what you want after you commit to buying it. I am sure there are many other proxies and agents to use for Taobao though.
 
The link above goes to Superbuy so I thought it would be good to use them. Is TBFocus easier to use?

TBFocus is easy to use, but they only ship DHL express if I remember correctly. Depending on weight, it's not cheap. However, this is for USA shipping, Australia might have different options.

I've also heard good things about cssbuy for Taobao purchases.

Here's links to use for cssbuy and tbfocus

I pulled the trigger using TBFocus. I'll let you all know how it goes when I get QC photos

Can I ask what colour you ordered and if you requested it in Chinese or English?

I’d like to order the opaque one (actually a couple) but I’m not sure how to ask for it, especially if it needs to be in Chinese
 
Hmm, I do plan to eventually get a CPS3 setup, so having cheaper accesses to cases like these is great!
 
@djsheep if you get one are you gonna try to fit the Ultra simms in it?
That’s the goal, but don’t think there’ll be enough clearance for the cable perhaps. Also there doesn’t seem to be mounting space for the SCSI2SD. They’re my apprehensions at the moment with this case.
 
Maybe NoCD UltraSimms…
They're the only ones :) I was talking about clearance for the selector cable. It needs to be threaded somewhere that will clear the connector on the end of the selector cable.

On the TRFightstick cases there's enough room for it to co-exist where the cartridge slot is, but that is the only possible opening.

The cable should be easily threaded through where the cart is on this case, but it might be a tight fit with the catridge in the slot.

It'll fit through the hole where the molex and scsi cable connect on the Metal capcom case. That's how I currently have mine. If this case is designed exactly like the official metal case, it should be the same outcome.
