Ok, that makes sense. I hope you'll tell us as soon as that decision is made. Fair enough. Hopefully Craig or someone else will let us know soon. Ok, so that's 800 more, past the initial ~700 already shipped. Cool. Also, since I don't think I've mentioned, thanks for taking the time to...

Yes, that was mentioned in the blog, but that was nearly a week ago, now - were the cases only ordered then, or had they been ordered a few days before? Were the cases ordered just the 3000, or the entire remaining 9000? I could interpret either way. The only thing you mentioned that has...

The question to me is why they just decided to do it, when a number of people warned that they might, and that you should specifically request that they not do paint them. If you told them, and they did it anyway, it's their fault, and they didn't "just do it", they did something contrary to...

Could you then please explain the meaning of your tweet: http://twitter.com/Craigix/status/15149091196 That said you had run out of boards?

I apologize for that. The derailment is partially my fault, but the original "where are the cases" thread was even more off-topic, and Craig was responding/updating about them here, so it seemed like the right place. I'm not sure what you don't get about it - the fiasco, the uncertainty, the...

I was under the impression that that's exactly where the daughter PCB was... Seconded Alec's post above. IIRC, there are a couple of LED pads for a potential light underneath the OP logo on the back of the case.

Not really. They've told us that the minimum order size at the factory is 10,000 units, so that covers the remaining 3,000 in the first batch, the second batch of 4,000, and then some extras.

I'm not sure if it's been said yet - how many have shipped? Edit - Just saw this one: http://www.gp32x.de/board/index.php?/topic/53703-how-many-complete-pandoras-have-shipped/page__view__findpost__p__859858 So about 400 now. Sounds like the rest of the cases won't be there in time to seamlessly...

You know, it's funny. I remember when the second batch was supposed to be in June ... 2009: http://pandorapress.net/2009/02/01/manufacturing-time-guesstimate

Quite possible. Also, I hear, the ABXY Buttons/DPAD, which I believe I (and others) warned against painting, in the past. However, is that just a theory, or is it based on fact. Because I'd like to hear it from OPT, instead of just guessing semi-randomly about what's going on. I completely...

Yes, that is what it sounds like. But we've seen things inthe past that "sounded" one way, but were actually another. Which is why I would like clarification.

Craig, could you please provide us with more clarification, here? Experience has given us far too many one-liners from you that have been grossly misinterpreted (sometimes phrased to be so). Your earlier comment: Makes it unclear if you're referring to the rest of the cases, or parts for the...

Well, the way I remember it is that almost all of the pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/mfk.pandora/MassProductionSamples # were of simple things - styluses, battery covers, shoulder buttons, and the like. The exception (in my mind) was of the keyboard-holder pieces...

Yeah, and I knew you knew. It did make me chuckle, but I'm running on far too little sleep right now, so I'm not which way to interpret that. I originally hadn't had that in my response, but decided to put it in just in case others didn't realize it. I agree with you 111% (110 is a boring...

Definitely no troll. I may have a low post count, but I lurk a lot, and try to ask questions that don't come up often, or that no one else is asking. I'm pretty up-to-date on most of what's going on, and like to think I have pretty good old-quote-fu. Then again, you may have known some of that...

Ok, I'll rephrase the question, as I'd first read it. What has the factory ever done to make up believe they can create cases (not the moulds, but the final plastic products) as fast as this? They *claim* they can do it in a few days, but they never have. They've missed every single deadline...

Is that because only 1000 people ordered one, or because you bought a smaller number first? If the latter, when will the rest show up?

Yes, very interesting. I'll step up and ask the question that no one else has asked yet, but that I'm guessing others are wondering - if the case design (that's the "design you're referring to, right) wasn't done until August 2009, that means it wasn't close to being completed back in September...

Also TV-out cables, carry-cases, battery-label (are those separate from the batteries?), user manuals, mailing labels, bubble wrap, outgoing boxes, and whatever else they need for mailing the built the Pandoras. Speaking of the carry-cases, does anyone know the actual status of the carry-cases...
