But there have been no official cases on offer until now

The official case was first made available back in February.

I hope many more companies pick this up and offer official models. In recent years most of my builds have used 3d printed parts - functional stuff like ducts and baffles to improve cooling, brackets and mounts to clean up a build or make something fit where it couldn't before, and even some whacky cosmetic stuff. Im sure there are still pics online of the "Robco Hoverbox" that I did for a Fallout launch party. All of the logos, stencils, the crazy fan mount, the satellite leg mounts, etc. were 3d printed for that project.

I'm all for right to repair, but I see it from both sides. A few years ago we had customers wanting us to provide repair services for hardware that was cloned based on our designs and was failing at customer sites. We did the original design, and our firmware was installed on the units but the rest was a low quality copy.
