Dallas Moore who found the molds and ran the kickstarter to make the new cases seems to still have them on ebay. There's a link in the most recent  KS update.

Those may not be available anymore, but check here:

I've heard of quality and shipping problems, however. You can read more about them here:

They are, indeed, still available on ebay:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-From-Original-Molds-Tooling-Commodore-64C-Computer-Housing-Case-Kickstarter/232526366522?hash=item3623a6c73a:g:hjcAAOSwE-lZ5V60:sc:USPSPriority!21140!US!-1


Wish they came with their Commodore badges or nameplates though.

Doesn't look like it, at least none active on eBay.  The eBay seller ID is "easttexasestate" so it might be worth asking.
