Does anyone have an Amazon or eBay link of a case/container/whatever that is able to hold this bar?
Still wondering if anyone knows about this. 
Only 2 of the 5-packs left
Good question, I am interested in this of course as well.
Perhaps we have a 3d printer in the crowd that could assist?
Well, I know a 3d printer in my country that could do this, but it would probably cost more than buying a case from China. Perhaps we have a 3d printer in the crowd that could assist?

If they are shipping from outside EU, they'd cost a ton in VAT as well for us Europeans....Still on the fence about a three-pack though
I'm heading to the U.S. shortly and I'm getting mine sent there where I'll bring them back myself. I bought a bar from miffman who is sorting it through Blazed. If he has any available and if you buy one from him I can bring it back with me to the UK and then ship domestically (if you're from the UK/EU) if you'd like.
I only have bars #99 and #100, which I'm willing to sell, but at a higher price because of the serial number. If you're still interested, shoot me a PM.

This bar is crazy awesome! Good job guys. What are the dimensions? It looks pretty big, but maybe this is the close up.
The bar is 5 inches, corner to corner diagonally. Apparently this is close to the same dimensions as an iPhone 5.

That looks amazing although maybe a gold hologram would have fitted in a bit better... Regardless of that, I really like it!
What size is the hologram area and will any extra holograms be provided?
Thanks

The hologram is 1", the recessed area in the bar itself for the private key is 3/4". Only 1 hologram comes with each bar so use sticker tape for application - it is easy to do.
Only 3 5-packs left.

June 11th UPDATE: Bitcoin Bars are in stock and are beautiful! I will post some pics this evening. Shipments will start to go out with Friday's post for those that have paid in full. Please contact me if you have any questions.
Will the holograms have a window like Casascius used? Any chance of a plastic case for these also?
The holograms do not have windows and these will not come in a plastic case. Each will be individually enclosed in a protective pvc pouch, similar to the Ether and DRK coins.
is it will be available in india wann asend this to my brother on his birthday.
thank you.
If you are looking for just one, there are a couple of threads going in this forum that you can order from. We are only selling bulk (5 or 10 packs via webstore).

Once again...good job minerjones in helping out the community.
I have removed the single sale option and will leave sale of singles to the secondary market.
Remaining inventory:
3 5-packs = $225 each plus shipping
1 10-pack = $400 plus shipping

Update - one of the 5-packs sold:

1 5-pack = $225
10 singles = $50 each

So will there only be 135 bars minted?
Are all the bars numbered and will there be any denomination marked on them?
Would you also consider offering/selling additional holograms so that we can create our own keys once/if we peel the original hologram.
Looking forward to this!

There are 100 bars being minted. 70 are already sold via the pre-order reservation process concluded yesterday. The remaining 30 are being sold in 1 10-pack, 2 5-packs and 10 singles. Each bar will be numbered via the included/associated Certificate of Authenticity and the included non-attached hologram. I will not provide additional holograms, just 1 per bar which will be left to the customer to place. The customer is free to of course insert a private key prior to placement of the hologram and there is an area on the C of A for them to print, type or write their BTC address.
I am looking forward to this as well, wont be long now!

Good to see this move to production
Glad I just jumped in.. this'll be a nice addition to the collection.
Congrats, you got the last pre-order reservation! Production time guys! Will be 3-4 weeks from today.
The remaining inventory will be listed and sold as follows:
10-pack (1 left) = $400 + shipping
5-pack (2 left) = $225 + shipping
Singles (only 10 left) = $50 each + shipping
Glad I just jumped in.. this'll be a nice addition to the collection.
1 10-pack left at pre-order reservation discount price. Once sold, we move into production!
May 20th UPDATE: Going to limit the pre-order reservation to allow only 2 more 10-packs to be sold at this discounted price. As soon as these 2 reservations sell, we will move into production at which time prices will change as follows:
10-packs (will be 2 left) = $400
Singles (will be 10 available) = $50
Also, I am throwing in a 'satoshi' t-shirt to help expedite this project for each pre-ordered 10-pack reservation so please be sure to communicate your shirt size.

Looks great. Any pics with a hologram design, maybe superimposed on the bar?
I know the holos will be applied by the buyer to the bar.
I know the holos will be applied by the buyer to the bar.
OP updated with final design
I have decided to issue an f*D embossed Certificate of Authenticity with each bar. The C of A will identify the piece as #x of 100 in the series and also reference the hologram number that comes with the bar. I will leave an area on each C of A for the end owner to type write or print their wallet's address once they have assembled their bar. The C of A will fit in the pvc pouch that comes with the piece so it will be easy to keep them together.
I'm offering a slot to reserve some bars in my WTS thread for those that don't want a full 10 pack.

Those bars look very nice indeed hope you manage to sell them 
hope you manage to sell them
To clarify (edited OP), down-payment of $150 plus shipping is due for pre-order reservation. The remaining $150 is due after minting prior to shipping.

To give a point of reference, the iPhone 5 is 5" in diagonally.
Anyone have a Casascius bar handy? Curious how big that is diagonally for comparison.
A Casascius bar is about 3.5 inches diagonally
Much appreciated.

By 5 inch diameter, do you mean 5 inch length?
5" from corner to corner, like a TV measurement
Corner to corner? Like a square? Sorry, I'm having a bit of a brain fart lol

Ordered 10 now via your website since the price is lower. Would appreciate lowest serial # please.
You get 11-20
Appreciate it. Looking forward to these. The cost is very reasonable this time, especially for a large 5" bar. Best of luck on this project.

im definitely interested, you said the production is going to begin in 2-3 weeks so if we buy the bar's right now when can we expect them to be shipped?
Based on sufficient pre-orders which is hard to predict but I do not think it will take long. At that point, we move to production. I would guess 1 month at max, but again, I cannot guarantee that yet.

Looks great.
Sending a PM. Would like to reserve one with the lowest serial number available.
EDIT: Make that 10 bars. Seems like a good value at $30 each.

I'm interested, and the price is pretty fair in my opinion. Gotta post here to follow along in my subscribed threads.
EDIT: In before smoothie posts that a pre-order is a bad idea
Ha, I'm just fuckin' with ya smoothie man. I know you have the best interests of the community in mind when you say that.

December 12th UPDATE: Bitcoin Bars singles are all sold out. There are 3 left as part of the variety packs listed below, but that is all that is left:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/fd-singles-variety-6-pack-btc-bar-real-btc-eth-drk-dogex2-sold-out-1041937
10-pack (sold out) = $400 + shipping
5-pack (2 left) = $225 + shipping
Each pre-order customer will be receiving a 'satoshi' t-shirt so please be sure to communicate your shirt size.
Due to popular demand, I have decided to start the process of organizing a pre-order of Bitcoin Bars! Please read through all details before committing to a purchase. A sufficient number of interest must be confirmed via pre-order purchases prior to moving into production. Production estimated at 2-3 weeks.
(2015) Limited Edition of 100 5" in diameter Bitcoin Bars:
These bars are made of a copper/brass alloy that is antique gold plated (like the Ether line) and will each come unfunded with a numbered hologram for customer placement on the bar. The customer can add a private key if they desire to add funds to the physical piece.
f*D's 5" Bitcoin Bar Specs:
* 192 grams
* 4-3/8" long
* 2-1/4" wide
* 1/4" thick
PRE-ORDER ONLY - Cost is $300 plus shipping for a 10-pack. To reserve the lowest available numbers a down-payment of $150 plus shipping is required with the remaining $150 balance due prior to shipment once minting is complete (estimated 2-3 weeks after sufficient number of pre-orders). Down-payment is refundable until orders are filled. NOTE: Once project moves into production, down-payments are no longer refundable.
Final design below.
Thank you to all those who have trusted the 'pre-order' process with me again. Happy to see this project coming to fruition.
