So the mini fiddy they sell is the slim one?
Because i heard that the 47mm fiddy they sell is the fat one...
I cant look at the shop because of country restrictions i think...
The pictures show what looks identical to the mini fiddies Jackson used to sell. Try the link without the tracking id. It works for me:

Think I’ll just order One. And find out if it’s thick or thin

They do sell a 47mm case but it doesn't look thin to me. They list it as being 17.5mm thick, same as the 44mm case. I think they're full of it, i.e. they never bothered measuring either one. This does not surprise me. I do know some members bought that case not too long ago but my old age prevents me from remembering who it was... best to post a WTB or some such.

For the 44mm - if @papabear244 received the thin one, the chances are good :thumbup:

Yes, i received the one advertised. There was another user who received a 47mm so added a comment for the seller to make sure it is 44 and not 47.) And yes, the mid case is “thin”. But do note it does measure 17mm total height, but that’s because it’s got that horrible protruding caseback. Without the caseback it measures 14.5mm and I believe that’s the reason for a lot of the confusion. I swapped it for a rad45 caseback (the ones they sell on Ali). They fit the mini fiddy perfectly. I later got one from Kpoy but I’ll save that for a better build.

I chucked when I said “thin” because it’s got fat lugs, and the veterans here would reshape the case. I don’t have the tools nor the skills, and frankly I like it this way, it looks more like a Pam233.
