On checking just now it's at £81213 of 77500. So unless people start pulling out it's done :)

Edit: really looking forward to getting my white Amiga case.

It is a Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  Yeyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was done but then saw a message from Steve Jones that 10 people had dropped out and so he had extended for a day or two.
Does anyone have any more info about this?
Currently the Kick starter is sitting at 81,849.50 GBP out of the 77,500 GBP target. So not sure if that needs to be revised now or not.

Just checked again at 07:15pm Australian Eastern Standard Time which is GMT +10hrs and now shows 82,326.50 GBP of pledged 77,500 GBP goal. By my calculations that is 4,826.50 GBP over and if I divide that by 159 GBP as a single case price I get the equivalent of 30.3 cases.
  So unless something is drastically wrong or more than 30 people have dropped out we will welcome the Checkmate A1500 plus case into our homes about the middle of 2019.
  You little Ripper Steve.
  That's Aussie speak for: "That is absolutely fantastic and job well done Steve."
  Thanks to everyone who backed this Kickstarter.
  I am over the moon
Also 441 backers

You beat me to it. Great news, some time next year I'll have a Vampired Amiga in a decent case, instead of the open top one with wires comming out of it I have now.

This so called Siamese is what I'm interested in.
Love to have the standalone and the PI in one housing. Switching between Amiga and present-day productivity software on the PI
Thanks Stephen to bring this dream closer then ever.

  Its sounds really nice, but depends how is implemented.
 
  As switch sys offering Linux, +1.
  As some kind of Amiga co-processor, like PPC was +2
  As some mixed box where at one display we could run both +3
  As Linux apps as sandbox inside AmigaOS that is +4
 
  So no way to hurt :-)
 
  So sad PC/Pi orientation of case as 2nd market has caused
  so much hate on MOS side:

Cant now,may be in a year. Its Under construction (molding). Best you can do is e--mail Stephen and negotiate a case of "2nd batch" (after backers are served).
 
  That is WHY one was supposed to back it up.
