Finalizing the PCBs

[rSl]

so,
' flux factory automation, ON !!! '

as i have no pree pree order board (was too slow pushing that button in time...boooo to me...) to put in the clear case,
i will use it as an incredible awesome pyra-led-lamp-thingy instead.

I'd need to ask everyone to be able to tell Global Components upfront which case to use for assembly.

You could send the pre-preorders a free clear case, let them swap it themselves. I don't want to encourage you to just give away everything though, I just feel like they've waited a long time as it is for having paid so much beyond what us normies paid

 

[Dark Pulse]

Can we get a case in papier-mâché?

or add a choice to buy clear cases at a certain discount. ( Maybe for the first 500 preorders )

I don't think there's any need for them to be discounted, is there?

 

[mati]

Yeah, we normal preorderers don't need a discount. But it sounds okay to me if the pre-preoderers get a free clear case like WizardStan suggested.

I'd want a clear case to get one of those leather holsters made.

I'm still VERY happy with my Pandora holster btw, I use it daily. I still plan to get some extra holsters made if there's people interested.

Can the 'prepreorderers' choose a tranparent case instead of the 'normal' case ?

Let me make it extra clear, the prepreorder experience is a translucent one.

Well, you know the development phase of the Pyra was all about transparency...

Eh I'm fine with black, the color of my Heart...

...and your body is blue ? Are you losing your favorite game ?

Holy crap, why haven't I seen this until now? That's a neato idea

I'll second that statement. Exactly the accessory I'd want with the pyra.

So let me get this straight; not only are things progressing but the transparent case is confirmed.

 

[Drezrek]

Passive cooling is the new "cool" trend, check it yo~

 

[Jumpman]

Hell Yeah, count me in on a clear case, as most of the colors didn't do much for me, so the clear option is PERFECT!

So 2 more months then? It seems like only yesterday it was 2 more months, and finally after all this time, ONLY 2 MORE MONTHS! LOL

[Kev2442]

As for myself, I'll happily pass on the clear case to make room for those more interested in it, but I hope opaque cases will be available at the same time (which should be as there won't be enough clear cases for all preorders).

 

[PowerGod]

The Pyra seems so simple to disassemble that one could get 3 or four colored cases, so to have always the handheld matching your dress !!

 

[Djoga'Ro]

I still like the idea I-forgot-who brought up, to get a transparent case and paint it on the inside. Well, as a second case of course. The first one's gotta be Dark Red.

That reminds me of my RPi with heatsink mod.

 

[levi]

As a pre-preorderer I'd just like to say I don't explicitly want a free clear case, when ED could make money from selling them, and pay off his investors more quickly. I'm not one of his investors fwiw.

I certainly wouldn't say no to one. As matzesu's excellent suggestion goes, I could install my pre-pre-order old unpopulated revision board in it. But I don't want to be responsible for eating into ED's revenue however small that bite would be.

 

[TrashyMG]

yeah as number 4 in the pre-preorder list I don't want a transparent case... I mean sure I could sell it, but like @levi said that money should go to ED.

Identity based on order number - good times.

Hypothetically and humorously...
Assuming that you count pre-preorders from 1 through N...
That would mean that the 8 prototype pre-pre-orders would count down from there from 0 to -7.
The first prototype pre-pre-order would be the -7th order in this scenario.
I'm 8th (last) in line for the prototype pre-pre-order.
That makes me the zeroth in that list. Yep, that's me. A big 0.

I -do- want a transparent case - and a dark red case - and a black case - and a black case with heat stress marks - and a glow in the dark clear case - or even a MiXeD cAsE where every part is a different material or color. If given the option to get more than one case at a reasonable surcharge, I'd even take more than one. It would be convenient if I could have it bundled into the $80 in shipping I already pre-paid for so it doesn't have to ride in it's own box. But - I wouldn't expect to get a second case for free.
