The case provides back protection and vented for heat dissipation. Look again. Back of RS8 for a refresher.

I still don't understand how it works ahhaah

Thanks for the info Auricon!
I too went with the warm grey.

Dignis Astrum for RS8 is online and available in 3 colors: warm gray, blue and black. Overvall design looking quite posh, protective and luxurious – especially the custom detailed vent backplate. Went with warm gray to go with Ti.

I don't get the point either. For me it looks like the original case from Hiby (only with additional colors black and warm grey and) with a little more perfect stitching and slightly less material on the bottom side.
An improvement for any case would be a flip cover on the top side for additional screen protection.

The original case has no back protection, this one does.

So there's like a perforated metal heatshrink at the back! Now I get it. Looks hot!!!

It seems to be metal against metal, don’t you think there could be a risk of scratching RS8’s back when putting the cover on and off by example ?
Or maybe they don’t really touch each other as it seems the back is rather thick, so there could be a thin air space between RS8’s back and cover’s back …
The first who receive it will tell us

RS8 doesn't get particularly hot so I went with the HiBy full back cover case in blue. Also remember to ping HiBy (or your dealer) for a bottom panel protection strip. That's really the only part of the DAP that's really susceptible to scratching (other than the back plate, on which I've put the spare film screen protector for added protection).

is that a metal plate at the back of the cover?

Case looks good but how is this different from one they supplied?

Brown one looks very similar.

HiBy original case: open backplate (zero back protection)

HiBy updated case: closed leather back (full back protection, no heatsink)

Dignis case: metal backplate (protection + heatsink), also includes bottom section film protector.

All of the Dignis DAP cases with vented backplates I’ve owned, there is air space between the backplate and back of DAP - it’s never metal on metal.

The plate is sandwiched between the padded leather back and leather surrounding the DAP.



Here’s a very horribad pic of my Dignis Pantheon for Cayin N8ii

 

[blotmouse]

Had to get one as I love my Dignis N8ii case. New cases always make my daps feel fresh again since it's what you directly interact with.
Went with warm grey for that Fender Brownface vibe.

Where can you get the dignis in europe?

RS8 doesn't get particularly hot

It was around 30-33°C every day here last week. After an hour of usage the back was close to uncomfortably warm on the leg in the pocket. The bottom of the RS8 was hot, especially the grass protection plugs. Almost unbearable for a longer touch.
Interestingly, that's when the RS8 sounded best.

I don't think Dignis has a dealer in EU.

Slow and cheap choice: you wait for the case to appear on the Dignis ebay store and order it there: free shipping, delivery in two/three weeks.

Fast and expensive choice: place your order through the link published by Auricon, pay €45 for shipping to Italy and then pay 22% VAT on the total amount (price of the case plus shipping cost) to the courier at the time of delivery (delivery within 3 days of ordering).
