I thought Eureka had given up on Steelbooks, it's interesting to see them back in the game.
There's a listing on the Eureka website but it isn't available to order yet:

Hell yes! I've been holding off on other editions of this in the hopes that Eureka would do a steelbook to go alongside their Nosferatu.
It's been so long since I ordered a Eureka steelbook that I can't remember where I ordered all of mine from. Does Zavvi usually carry these once they're released?

This I will be pre ordering as soon as Amazon or Zavvi listing goes live
I was going to order the amaray a few months ago and forgot to do an order lucky I did
It's good to see a steelbook release instead

Yup. Insta-Buy. I feel like every film student or enthusiast should have an obligation to pick this up.
Just watched it again a couple weeks ago--the first time sharing it with my oldest son. I mean, you watch that movie and you think "1920??" Just amazing that when the medium of film was so young, there were already people who could manipulate it so skillfully.
Limited to 2000 copies according to their FB page

I will have to buy this because it's one of the greatest films ever made & a masterpiece but all i'm actually gaining for £27.99 is the Steelbook itself as it is identical in content to the Eureka Amaray release which i already have so i may buy this & keep it sealed or sell my amaray either way got to have it 
I love the MoC style on the steelbooks. Reduced the print run hugely which is fair enough because other than the 2nd run of Metropolis, Silent Running & Touch of Evil I don't think I paid over £10 for a single one and I think I have all of them except for Rumblefish (and the first Metropolis)
ZAVWEL54 worked for me just now, so I locked in a pre-order, just in case. With the increasing prices on both of their Metropolis steels, I could see this one going pretty quickly.
Not exactly identical; there's a new 2-hour documentary included with the steel.I will have to buy this because it's one of the greatest films ever made & a masterpiece but all i'm actually gaining for £27.99 is the Steelbook itself as it is identical in content to the Eureka Amaray release which i already have so i may buy this & keep it sealed or sell my amaray either way got to have it
It's a bit pricey £27.99

Yes, welcome back Eureka - it's certainly been a while since your Amaray release of this title (more than two years) and at #92 in the collection when we're up to something like #150 today this one has been a long time acomin'.
One for the World Cinema brigade . . . and I don't mind in the slightest that they've used the same brilliant artwork for the upcoming steelbook edition as on the previous Amaray and I do like the orange background previously put to good effect on the "Touch of Evil" steelbook.
Both editions look to have the same Content - still with the 44 page booklet (the film having been fully restored on its 95th Anniversary before the Amaray release - http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film4/blu-ray_reviews_62_/the_cabinet_of_dr_caligari_blu-ray.htm).
The only difference I can see at first glance between the two editions is the documentary FROM CALIGARI TO HITLER in the upcoming steelbook.
2014 Amaray details:-
Robert Wiene (not Robert Wise of "The Sound of Music" or "West Side Story" lol).
Conrad Veidt - Great to see him again long before he was the token German in Hollywoodland - excellent as the Nazi in "Casablanca" 1942 (against the equally excellent Claude Rains as police captain Reynaud) and just before that as the wonderfully sinister Grand Vizier Jaffar in the fantastic 1940 version of "The Thief of Bagdad".
Best choice of front artwork for the steelbook out of the few official poster designs that I've seen:-
