Hey all,

I'm currently looking to buy a case/container/box/holder for my f*D bar and my Kialara's. Good ones are hard to find. I mean, I did found an amazing Lindner Nimbus 230 (http://www.lindner-original.de/de/sonstige-sammelgebiete/sammelsysteme/nimbus-objektrahmen/nimbus-230-schwarz.html), but they are quite pricey, mostly because of shipping. Example of how they look, courtesy of fvs114:

Does anyone know something like this or someway that I can display my f*D bar and Kialara's without exposing them to air.

I'm hoping to a get a perspex case made my kialara, I will let you know how it goes!

Do tell once you have it!

These little leather style cases work quite well I've found - www.ebay.com/itm/121764923898.  Although they are not air-tight, luckily the Kialara is.

I have a couple spare cases in Red, Brown, & Black if you're interested.  :)

The f*D bar is a lot bigger than the Kialara, as the f*D bar is 5'' and the Kialara is around 10.2cm (L) x 7.0cm (W). So you would have to add padding to make it fit in a capsule made for the f*D bar. The Lindneris 24,50 euro without shipping and can hold both, but not at the same time. There is a bigger Lindner case that can hold 3 Kialara's, but it also costs as lot more.

I have something like that (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leather-Name-Credit-B-Upright-Business-Card-Case-Holder-/130905928661) for my "show" Kialara. It's not bad, but I really want something air-tight and clear.

It looks like that company has an English based version for the US..

But Damn $30.00 plus $9.00 in shipping.

Something like a ring would probably do (as long as it isn't white, haha). The height of the Kialara is around 0.8cm and the f*D bar is around 0.45cm. This is measured with a very basic ruler though.

Oh yeah. should have linked that in the OP. But yes, like I said, pretty expensive and I haven't found anything like it, yet.

That Kialara looks mighty fine in that display frame 8).

Any idea what size it is?

Found some on Amazon when searching 'nimbus floating frame': http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Dgarden&field-keywords=nimbus+floating+frame

If you had clicked on the link in the OP and the website would have told you what the size is (230 x 180 x 25 mm). :P

Ok great thank you :).

Seeing that Kialara in that case is making me want one for my desk ;D. Might start looking around for a silver or gold one if the price is right :).

I have a gold, but it ain't for sale. Still need to grab a 1BTC Silver.

For me it depends on the price with shipping, as you are in the USA and I'm in poor old EU.

Well, if I don't need to pay VAT, I don't mind receiving them and handling shipment and such (as long as it's been paid for). I'm used to that because of my group buys.

Definitely, I did see those cases when doing my research but didn't want to take the chance on the metallic bars scratching the housing of the Kialara.  I was thinking about machining a circle out of the fake leather to expose the Kialara coin & numbering but I haven't attempted it yet since my idea depended on melding the faux leather and a piece of plastic protector together which would prove difficult to reproduce without more tooling.  I have carried the Kialara around in the leather style case and it does a great job protecting the metal and glass and has not received one scratch.

The nimbus case looks awesome but I was off-put by the price only.  I am interested in the f*D bar cases as well.  ;)

Has anyone thought about Laminating a Kialara?  That is pretty close to what Nimbus is providing except it wouldn't have a frame.
