[Cancelled] Aluminium cases are NOT being made!

[Eight Bit]

This is awesome news. 

As soon as the case is done I will upgrade to a GHz unit too. 

Is there any estimation as to how long it would take for the Alu case to be done?

It would be nice if IDV could post some sort of mini blog about the progress, with lots of juicy pictures

neat . might want to change the thread title though, though this was the other thread for a minute, also will probably order one of these soon.

 

[Majin Wamu]

I might order one but I don't know which color to get. What would you guys say? I was thinking black, but I might stick to gray since my Pandora is already gray but let me hear some opinions.

 

[ekianjo]

I will probably order one or two once I see actual pictures of the final case - great news to see it's happening

Please consider it for the Pyra as well.

Please consider it for the Pyra as well.

With 60 preorders for the pandora's case, I think it's clear people is interested. So, unless the case goes wrong and the result is not good, I think everything would be set for ED to prepare such a case for the Pyra.


I just hope it's available from the start of the orders/preorders for the Pyra.

Yeah, that's what I meant. Pyra, from the start with aluminium cases (at least as an option )

Most of the Pandora users were in Craigs mailing list, and I can't misuse that, it's against the law.

well, you are providing technical support now, a lot pandas may experience issues with the case and since the cases are offered at cost price I think you can make a case this is some sort of aftersales service?

Even though I have pretty much decided on grey I keep thinking black is also a good choice.  If I were you I would go with one of those 2 colors.

Ok, but you're not only the shop, but also the tech support, and Craig's customers are entitled to it. Is it legally possible to inform them that tech support is still available to them, and ask them if they want to be informed about current event on a strictly opt-in basis?

Sorry for posting before reading the entire topic.

 

[comradekingu]

Officially he isn't their tech-support.  Just like craigs customers are still craigs, even if ED delivers them a pandora.

Hello rygD, I knew I could count on you ^_^ yeah gray is nice. I am not sure tho. I might just stick to gray like you.

If someone wants the case *without* the WLAN-Window, please give a notice to ED. For me it is no problem to leave it closed - it even saves me some efforts.

I will start the design and Production as soon as I got the mockup (a fully equipped but not necessarily functional Pandora).

Nice Idea. I hope it is o.k. if I simply use this Thread.

I can offer you to do that on Pandoralive.info, too I'm actually interested to highlight your work there.

I'd quite like to get the aluminium case, but I'm really going to have to wait until more is known about how well that wifi window on the case works, I still primarily use the Pandora internal wifi!

 

[Hồng Thất Công]

Since no information about the wifi window, it is safe to assume that wifi won't work, but you know that the case will look nice and smooth stronger without the wifi window.  Hence, I've just added a message to my order that I don't want wifi windows for my cases.  Hope I will get them faster than those who want the wifi window.  If wifi turns out to work just as good, yeah! baby!  But if it doesn't work, I have nothing to lose by not wanting a wifi window.  If it doesn't work, well, that's expected

 

[comradekingu]

When did we get to be so picky about cases? Its not like the pandora is blessed with viable alternatives.

There is the cases we already have, for instance.

 

[comradekingu]

Id take an aluminium smack to the head over the plastic on the default case.

I wish I'd thought of that.  Wait, you can add messages to existing orders?  I'll check.

Yes, you can. Just log into your order, pick the order and add the message. Not sure Ed will read it though
