Anyone know if it's possible to cut the Akasa LED strip down to size like you can with some others ?

It should have little scissor marks. I got mine at maplin and it has little marks where to cut. Ion the image where there are the copper contacts just between there

Indeed you can, right down the line between the copper pads. Some strips even have a scissors symbol on them to indicate this purpose.
Additionally, if you clean up the copper again you can rejoin it by soldering connecting wires, so you can position modules of it around your case without buy another set. You won't get a volt drop until you starting getting around 5 metres of the stuff.
Edited to clarify - get yourself a fibreglass pencil for cleaning the copper pads/tracks, works a treat, just don't press your finger on the end of the pencil! Fibreglass and skin is bad.
