personally i prefer the all black case with the Pandora sign BLACK.
and no LEDs on top of it.
OR all black with transparent Sign not bumped... more like Flat. but transparent.
That would be the best. i prefer my LEDs on the inside

As long as I get to play the damn thing I don't care if it was transparent dildo purple with pink polka dots.Mr.Gonzo said:

I voted for the older, boxier version, but I was going on the four pics as seen at the http://openpandora.org/ website (look at the fourth pic in particular to see what I mean). I've never seen that version above before.
If it's for the version as seen on the openpadora website vs the new curved one, I go for that, but if it's for the ugly thing pictured above vs the new curved look, I want to change my vote.
EDIT: the logo MUST be blue as shown by MDave.

yeah that's this nostalgia that makes me wanna have the transparent logoPoisonedV said:
...But if its to much complication. Simple Black ( less effort and pretty damn sexy ) will do!
I don't believe they will change where the LEDs are at anyway... they pretty much finished the damn thing.
CandidStan: Sure i just want to get the Pandora not caring much about the design.
But this thread is about HOW will we prefer the design.

Oh, having the logo painted blue would look pretty swish!
It does look gorgeous though, especially with such a soft glow and not the bright 'keep you up at night' glare. It looks like an interesting case mod some day.
That gives me an idea for my first mod.
A dremel + http://www.glonation.com/Products/GlowPowder/GlowPowder.html + http://www.dickblick.com/zz335/20/
Cut the shape of the logo out, mix the powder and resin, pour in, let harden, polish and glowing logo it is
This will give that logo the same glow effect without LEDs that use power and it won't be too bright and obnoxious. Plus you can then find it in the dark as logo is always glowing

Well those versions you saw on the website were just concepts. With those proportions like the thin lid etc it would never work, you couldn't fit real components in there like the LCD etc. Those were just artists conceptions not taking into account fitting in batteries , PCBs, LCD etc. So those could never be an option. The "ugly thing" was a first boxy prototype with the sizes and proportions needed to house actual working components.
There may have also been some confusion. Those aren't "bevels" or "facets" on the top of the lid like it may look in that pic. They are actually blended radii. It will look allot smoother in person then it does in that pic.

The clear plastic case of the classic gameboy did leave a mark on your heart too huh ?DAP said:I'd want clear plastic for the case, but with that you'd only be able to see the battery and the rubber keyboard mat

Argh! The blue logo in my mock-up is supposed to be paint, not a LED lighting it up! It seems people skip the text and look at the pic and jump to conclusions!Mr.Gonzo said:
And those other LEDS I added on are actually indicator lights for the bluetooth, wifi, SD 1, SD2, mic hole and power light. Similar to how you can still see the LEDS on a ds lite when its closed.

Looks great with the blue logo.

I would like to see the final render with the leds and such, maybe even an animation preview of the system.
I personally don't like glossy finish at all, even to the point of hating it. It may look cool under certain circumstances and lights, but it gets dirty quite easily so finally ends as a pain in the butt. I don't like that now famous Apple style in all kind of devices, Wii looks good for me but that's an exception.
I prefer the matt finish on wearable devices, it gets less dirty and not shows those ugly light reflects.
I also think still suffers the Apple/DSL syndrome. Maybe those rounds needs to be better done and have a more distinctive style.
I think the device must look good but still easily able to differenciate to other devices or people will think it is some kind of cheap knock off when it's totally the contrary. It's a fact that Pandora has a lot higher spec and higher quality components than those lot more known brand products, but average people don't know it and will think bad of unknown products.
Please modify the design so don't appeal too gamer oriented or too business but something between the two, and try to not being easy to confuse to other products.

I'm extremely happy with the newest design, it looks like a Pandora to me
The bricky middle-version lools like a DIY superstore multi-purpose case to me.
