Source: CASETiFY announcement, 12 October, and the collection page. Why it matters: Shinkawa’s line, cut as aluminum relief, on a phone, for the studio’s tenth year.

The center object is the Yoji Shinkawa Original Design – 3D Crafted Aluminum Case. The back panel is machined in steps, a relief rather than a flat graphic. Shinkawa is the artist whose ink has defined the studio’s figures since the Metal Gear years and through Death Stranding. Putting his line into milled aluminum is the part of the note that is not a logo slap.

Around it: Death Stranding 2 and 10th-anniversary studio graphics on durable cases. A “Yoji Shinkawa Art Edition – From Sapiens to Ludens (Gold Camera Ring) Case.” A “Ludens Emblem – Carbon Fiber Case.” Studio logo and damage-sensor tape patterns for the quieter ones. Ludens is the studio’s figure, the one the official page addresses: to all Ludens.

A Qpid wristlet, the Death Stranding device turned into a band. Plush keyholders of Dollman and Ah-luden. Metal grip stands with a Ludens gold disc and the studio emblem. Earphone cases in the tech run. A suitcase at the top of the price list. A purchase comes with a collectible card in a blind pack, one of several designs, studio graphic on the face. The aluminum case’s pack holds two designs that are not in the regular set.

Individual prices and exact model fit were still listed as forthcoming on the 13 October notes. The floors are the three yen lines above.

The collection page sets early access at 10:00 HKT and general at 16:00 HKT on 15 October. Japan coverage converts that to 11:00 and 17:00. Stores sell from opening. The ten Japan addresses are the list. CASETiFY, founded 2011, is in its 15th year. Kojima Productions, founded 2015 in Tokyo after Kojima left Konami, is in its 10th, the decade of Death Stranding and its sequel. The note says the work was done in the studio, not licensed at a distance.

15 October is the day. 11:00 is the waitlist. 17:00 is everyone else. The aluminum is the piece the copy puts first.
