Seen the PCS SR-628B RGB GAMING CASE and was wondering on its quality, it says it pc specialist but has corsair on the back of. Is this case good, or is worth getting a different case of similar price like the corsair 275r?
Is this case good?

Just as a quick FYI:
Presuming you're saying you can see the Corsair name on it is from the pictures you can see on the configurator - I think the Corsair logo will actually be from the PSU rather than the actual case (since the only PSUs that PCS stock are Corsair ones). Admittedly I don't know who actually makes the case.
But yes it would be nice to know if anyone knows how good said case is

As above. The case is by Solleron (probably). I wouldn't buy it, because I know nothing about it.
Solleron seem to make cases for system builders rather than consumers i.e. they mainly sell to PCS rather than to people like you or I who might build our own PCs. This means there are very few, if any, reviews of their cases out in the wild.
Trying to pinch pennies on the case seems unwise tbh. The Fractal Focus G is a good performer for the price and one of the few budget range cases I'd be happy seeing a mid or higher range system in. Otherwise things like the Define S, Meshify C, NZXT H500 are worth looking at.

Looking at the renders / photos, the front looks almost completely sealed off, except for those tiny little vent, if that's even what they are... it looks like a great way to roast a PC basically.
I tried looking up the case and the page that seems to list the 628B has been changed to the 628M:
Edit: the 628B (non-M) seems to be here and it looks really badly sealed up at the front:
http://www.solleron.com.tw/product_sr628b.php
The 628M one has a mesh front panel rather than solid plastic, and the change in the name to M mirrors what Coolermaster did with the H500P (iirc). Where they released a case that had a solid plastic front, starved the components of air, and then re-released it as the 500M with a mesh front and then it didn't suck any more.
But PCS aren't selling the 628M.
So, avoid, avoid, avoid.

They update their case range all the time. It changes quite frequently. Unlike, say, motherboards where the selection is somewhat more static once they've settled on a range.
But yes, they don't always choose to offer a revised version of a given case. e.g. the 750D.
And sometimes older versions are more popular too. I think they had the Corsair 540 for a long time, then started offering the 740, but it didn't really take off, and they continued with the 540 (which is probably the one I'd have bought given a choice between the two in fairness).
