Someone has found the original injection mould forms for the Commodore C64c (the wedge model) and has a kickstarter campaign to reproduce more cases in custom colours:

Interesting how the white one is very VIC-20 looking (naturally)!

The obvious question: why PETSCII graphics on top of the key caps? Discouraging.
Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.

That was the style of the C64C keyboard that he used as a sample? If I read the offer correctly, it's JUST the case. No keys or anything. So whatever.

Re: C64C injection mould forms found
Yeah, you have to supply your own keyboard (and motherboard, etc.)
I was thinking the white one would be interesting to mod slightly to make a "VIC-20C" kind of thing...

Re: C64C injection mould forms found
Yes, I'd prefer to see it go BLACK, like Pedro's modded VIC 20 using a C64C case. Having the game slot enlarged for VIC cartridges and a uIEC slot pre-cut would make that case more meaningful, too:
