Not sure if the VGA connector will fit the new A500 case?

I think it will. It is mentioned on the project page and also on the video. The trapdoor will go on the back, near the floppy drive.

Watch here: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/new-compatible-case-for-amiga-500-plus#/ around the 3:30 mark

I am also very interested in one of those cases and on this particular trapdoor since I also own an Indivision ECS (V1). I could not support the campaign from the beginning, but I hope I'll be able to buy one later. Let us know how the Indi ECS VGA port fits on the new trapdoor :)

Yes and no.
Yes you can use the rear trapdoor that has a VGA out opening.

No because the trapdoor is just a pass-through. It is not meant for the VGA connector to be screwed and mounted onto.


My interpretation is that it does not have means to properly mount the VGA connector, it may be just an opening and you can pass your VGA flat cable through it, but not secure it, it would be loose all the time :(

I hope I'm wrong.
