He is implying either me or thinkpad.
Either way it is snide, rude, insulting and has no place.
@Wally issued a warning. Now let's see if he actually does anything
Latest update: Keymats are here, how strong will the logo plate be - and pretty cases.

Still fresh, damnit!
Let's just revisit what he said:
I don't see any rude words there, or indeed any judgement on those of us who don't like this solution, unless you count a contradiction between it being asserted as a good solution but we just don't like it anyway. Claiming it as snide and insulting is basically the same thing as each other. I read it as as a humorous passage written as a kind of P.S. then a P.P.S, so be careful when you're making jokes people!

Might I suggest settling these grudges in private, or at least outside news threads? No matter who is right or wrong it's just impolite toward the rest of us to discuss your interpersonal issues here.
On topic: the matte case looks awesome. Even better than I expected. Full steam ahead!

@Swordfish II Keep it up, we'll probably end up banning you for it 
What B-Zar said, take it elsewhere.. We shouldn't need to put up with this here as we're trying to enjoy ourselves.

I like the look of the painted cases, as long as it doesn't interfere too much (money is tight, remember). Black is ok, hoping for red, or even a retro color... Maybe like a dove grey, or beige. Still a fan of dark grey, so I will be waiting on the next video. I liked the chrome more than I would have guessed. Maybe I can get a red case after the first batch is done.
Not a huge fan of the logo plate solution, but it works and keeps things moving. Will they be grey/silver with the logo clear/opaque? What is the cost? Anyone else still interested in customizing?
For the next video can we see Grench's prototype, or another unit, being assembled? I would like to see everything together. Might need to wait until the cases get painted.

Love the matte black as well.
Audi interior materials are said to hold up really well over the years.

I see where ED is going with it. The example in the video was hand cut from a sample chunk to fit the outer hole. The real ones are being laser cut from darker metalic stock and will be cut inside and out in the same DragonBox logo pattern as the old unsticky aluminium version. (If I understand correctly.) The hole sized translucent plastic medalion still goes in behind it.
A "Grench's Prototype Assembly Video"? I am good with that idea.

Matte black looked brilliant, the chrome not so much. As ED moves the chrome case around you can see all the imperfections in the surface. the shiny surface amplifies them. just my opinion..
These imperfections were fingerprints and other dirt. They didn't clean it thoroughly for the test run. That wouldn't be the case for the production run (all cases go through a cleaning process first), but I sill like the matte one best

What colours are currently available? Is it black, chrome, blue, and red or are there more? I only ask because I'm trying to picture what it'll look like next to my Pandora (Pandora grey would be nice, matching colours and all, although I'm not sure how popular of an opinion that is).

I think that the matte black is pretty much perfect as the production case color - and that for the sake of keeping the assembly variations sane, should be the only production case color.
Clearly there are people, though, who would like alternatives - which could be stocked in the store as accessories?
The other alternative would be to have a distinct case color for each of the hardware variants - but even that could become a nightmare of minimum order quantities, stocking and tracking it all to know which version and color is in which packaging.
How many hardware variants are there? Is this list accurate?
2GB
4GB
2GB Euro 4G
2GB US 4G
4GB Euro 4G
4GB US 4G
If offered in black only, that is 6 variants. If offered in choice of three colors that is 18 variants. Four color choices becomes 24...
That matte black is a fine color for production though. I realize some may decide I'm a hypocrite for making the above statements given that I'll be getting an odd-not-production case color on my prototype. But, that was part of the deal on the prototypes.
I think that it is impractical to offer wide varieties of production case colors. If I had a regular pre-order in, I would be thrilled to get a matte black one then buy alternate sets of case plastics to customize it as they become available in the store.

Honestly the colour doesn't matter to me too much, being able to customize it is nice to have but matte black matches my laptop so that works for me too.

I would like one painted matte black on the outside and jackson pollock on the inside
But if the latter is impossible or not feasible just keep the matte black outside.

If only there were some jackass that wouldn't be one
@EvilDragon get ahold of your people. Since when is pointing out rudeness and implied insults banworthy. Im getting pretty sick of this. i have already reduced the number of Pyras I will be buying by one and now I'm contemplating making it 0.
If I request a refund will i be paid interest for the years the money was held and used? Because i am being driven away with the help of your staff.
I also wonder: Germany is VERY much about consumer rights. If I am banned from the sole means of support, and firmware/software for a product I have purchased... How would that play out in a court.

I prefer Picasso inside. Pollock is too much abstract for me
