Yep, yours got the screws. 
Couple other things, I’ve been routing a very shallow roundover on the joystick and button holes so the edges are nice and smooth; yours has this too. Also, since all my cases will have screws now, snap in buttons will work fine.
I do too. The other ones are more budget friendly though.
So the budget case is a new line? Or basically a redo of your old budget case?
It’s a redo of the old one.
Pretty much the same build, just the neutrik isn’t recessed any more and it only accepts the NAUSB (or switchcraft rj45 jack I think).
More details in a few days when I get everything set in stone, but for now I know they’ll be made of poplar and cost $50 including shipping to anywhere in the usa, $80 shipped internationally.
Might be picking up another case from you in the near future my buddy/customer loves the size of the wide body case i got from you… And im kinda itching for another case from you myself… simple cases are my new love, just out of curiosity, how much would it cost for a 2-player sized stick?
Hello I really like the wood cases you offer, can you elaborate on the clear coat?
What are its benefits? And would you recommend painting on it?
Also is the bottom of your cases wood or plexiglass?
Wait til y’all see what he’s doing for my next case…definitely something different.
Thanks.
For a 2 player case the deciding factor would be the shipping, since I can’t fit it in a flat rate box. Whenever you’re interested though, just PM me with the details.
Thanks, the clear coat I use is a water borne finish that was designed for instruments. When researching finishes for my SimpleCases I decided on this for the durability and ease of application. I typically use 4-5 coats. Before the clear coats I seal the case with a coat of Zinsser SealCoat (dewaxed shellac).
For painting, I first seal the cases with a coat of the SealCoat, then spray the paint on (createx wicked colors), and once that’s dry I use the same clear coat. I’m still fine-tuning the painting process.
If you plan to get a case to paint yourself I use maple for the case. It’s very smooth, takes paint beautifully and is much more durable than poplar or MDF.
U got mail good sir.
And again…u have mail good sir…lol

A couple of announcements:
First, since all SimpleCases will have screws on the control panels, I’ve decided to add zinc and brass plated screws to the hardware kits in addition to the black ones already provided. They’re all the same size square drive screws, there’s just now 3 colors to choose from when you wire up your stick.
I’ll post a few pics when the screws arrive.
Next, Budget SimpleCases are now available.
I decided to bring the budget cases back and change things around a bit to be able to provide a low cost case that can be built pretty fast.
One of the main reasons I decided to bring them back, was because of what crunchie did with one of them. Beautiful.
There’s been some changes though, to keep cost down and so I can get them out quicker.
Here’s the basic details:
• 11 3/4" Long x 9" Wide x 2 1/4" tall without the rubber feet, 2 1/2" tall with the rubber feet.
• Weight is 2lbs 7ozs without parts or finish.
• The standard rear layout is 3 24mm recessed holes and a hole for a neutrik usb connector. The neutrik hole isn’t recessed.For cases with 6 button layouts, two additional 24mm recessed holes can be drilled on the right side if desired st no extra charge.
• The control panel is 1/4" now. I did this so I wouldn’t have to rout the underside, which adds to the build time and cost.
• Only a single 1/8" plexi bottom panel is included instead of two. Again, to keep the overall cost low. Note that the top and bottom panels are still fully supported all the way around with a recess; not just by corner blocks.
• The cases are glued together, then reinforced with 1 1/2" 18 gauge brad nails. Before painting, it’s recommended the (very small) nail holes be filled with wood filler or spackle.
• Layouts available are: Vewlix 6 or 8 button, Astro City 6 or 8 button or Noir 6 or 8 button (Noir is similar to Astro City but slightly different). I can’t do hitbox layouts; the combined thickness of the control panel and plexi would be too thick for the button nuts to get a decent grip on. Sanwa buttons can work if you turn the nuts upside down, but seimitsu buttons won’t catch.
• Only black control panel screws are included.
• The rubber feet are attached with coarse threaded screws instead of machine screws into threaded inserts. Installing the threaded inserts would increase the price and build time. I use maple as corner blocks on edge, not end, so the screws will hold just fine.
• Parts: The budget cases are drilled with a 40x85mm pattern, which works with the sanwa JLF, JLW, Seimitsu LS32, LS33, LS40, LS55 and LS56 and I think LS58. I know for sure the JLF mounts at proper height, but the others will probably be a bit lower. The LS58 might be near proper height too.
For buttons, for the control panel, 30mm snap in or screw in buttons from sanwa or seimitsu work fine. For the rear holes, 24mm snap in or screw in buttons work just fine.
• I’ll put up an art template as soon as I get one finished.
• Prices: $50 Shipped to the United States, $80 shipped international

Hello Nightwalker, I purchased wide body stick while back from you.
I am wondering if you can give me template for the stick. Mine has 8 buttons and has one 24mm button on the right,
Thanks NiteWalker, I just received my Purple Heart case today. Very professional packaging, and the case looks and feels amazing. Thanks so much!
A customer had you send their case to me to wire. One of the nuts in the “joystick screws” bag is unthreaded. Was wondering if you could send me another or tell me what size it is.
Friendly reminder to check ur in box good sir…
