It has flip out thumb stick locks to protect the thumb sticks as well, and can be used as a kickstand in the back of the deck.
It’s on Kickstarter right now. Seems like an interesting idea, although I think I’ll stick to cases like the Killswitch/modcase for protecting my deck in a backpack.
These thumbstick locks look flimsy, I wouldn’t rely on these.
The stick guards seem like they prevent left/right movement, but do they prevent up/down movements? Is it sufficient to only stop some motion, or is it just better than nothing?
It’s hard to see the exhaust opening in the video but the diagram shows a hole for it. I wonder how much it’ll cost.

Do you guys not use the case it came with?

The included case is really nice and protects really well, but it’s too big to fit into my backpack. I also like to have some protection when I just set my deck down on my nightstand or things like that.
I use a jsaux modcase as my main case now. It’s reasonable well protected and can fit into my backpack much easier now.
This flipcase will be less protective than the modcase, but doesn’t have a separate cover to keep up with, which will be very convenient.
