Overview
The Cre8audio NiftyCASE is a moderately sized euro rack case with HUGE possibilities! The NiftyCASE is a great place to start when building a stylish, portable eurorack system. NiftyCASE is more than just a basic eurorack case; it provides all the power and connection possibilities you could possibly ask for. NiftyCASE offers a beefy 2A of cumulative current via its +12v -12v and +5v power rails, ideal for all your modules.
Connecting your NiftyCASE to computers or MIDI devices is a breeze thanks to the built-in MIDI to CV conversion. NiftyCASE takes either DIN-MIDI from any DIN-MIDI device or USB-MIDI from your computer and turns it into eurorack compatible CV, gate, mod, and clock signals. NiftyCASE's DIN-MIDI thru lets you easily daisy-chain multiple NiftyCASES and easily integrate NiftyCASE with your MIDI equipment.
The NiftyCASE is the perfect size for a portable eurorack case being 84hp wide; that means NiftyCASE isn't super tiny or super huge. We asked Cre8audio how long it took their R&D team to arrive at the perfect size; they told it was just the right size for all of the cardboard boxes they bought to ship it to you in.
It's a case with nifty features, it's the NiftyCASE...apparently they took ages thinking that one up.

* Please note that the right and left sides of NiftyCASE fit very flush. It is recommended to favor a module with a pcb 1mm or more narrower than it’s front panel for use on the left and right sides of the case (this amount or more of tolerance is fairly common on many modules).
** The NiftyCASE power supply is designed only to power modules that are being used in the NiftyCASE. Modifying the case or using it otherwise to power external cases & external modules is not advised. Additionally, we’ve seen that many modules reported power consumption are not precise. We recommend when planning what modules to use in your case, to allot at least an additional 25% power for modules that require additional power for startup and/or for variances from their reported specifications.
