I would like a grey that is almost black... With buttons nubs shoulders and stylus in full black.
But I'm still buying a clear one as my first choice. I'm decided.

I am just a tiny bit concerned since I don't think ED is planning on doing clear for the first batch. I think many of us are making a lot of unfounded assumptions based on what we want. At this point my acceptable options have actually expanded based on recent news posts. For a while I was going with dark red and dark grey add my top choices, to be determined based on what actually gets made. Black was always in the back of my mind, and after we saw the prototype clear seemed decent. Now I am considering any grey, any red, black and clear, and hoping we will get one grey or black (as ED has said he plans to do) and a "fun" choice, even if it isn't all that fun. The red we were shown isn't all that great, but I an personally still considering it. Now clear seems a better option. Since all of these are realistic options, any of them shouldn't be a problem.
I don't even know what I feel would be a good way to set up a poll at this point. I want to give ED usable info that isn't being messed with, and that doesn't add to the noise he has to deal with. I am thinking five choices, the grey shown, the red shown, the clear shown, a darker grey/off black, and actual black. It looks like two votes would be called for since it seems two colors might get made. Probably hide the voter list for each choice, and I am undecided if allowing people to change votes allows for abusing the system (if it is an option with current board software...I forgot).
But what about blue and purple? I don't think he is seriously planning on doing purple. I don't know if he wants blue or not. We have pics, and those seem to be doable colors, so maybe they should also be included, but why stop there? Why not include every color option that can be made without increased cost? That just makes the whole thing a mess for everyone, so I am not sure where to draw the line. Being able to talk to ED for a few minutes would help clear some things up, and possibly prevent a useless poll. Maybe I will try to bug him on IRC.
The biggest problem I see with a poll as I have it in mind is that people will vote for things other than black or grey to maximize the chances of getting the fun colors, and the results look like most people prefer clear and red or whatever...I dunno.
From what I've seen so far, isn't it EDs M.O. to suddenly come up with something, hardly anyone here dares to hope for? If so, any poll now would easily become void then.
Further, am I the only one, who doesn't think, the shown samples represent the whole range of standard colours? If they don't, it might still be in the realm of possibility, that Form Action has sample sets (not cases, but rectangles or whatever) from the same plastic
He wants colors people will buy. I highly doubt the only choices will be hot pink and the purple we keep seeing.
Those shown aren't the only possible colors, but ED has already spent time narrowing down what he wants to use. See what I said above about finding a place to draw the line. He knows what he wants to use, so we can give feedback so that he has a better idea of what customers want (or we can remain silent and hope he gives us things we will like).
OnTopic: Did I get this right, that the colors from the first post are an option either way since they don't have a minimum order amount?
With very-near-black grey on top of it (as ED mentioned), we'd already have some nice choices even if my favourite isn't possible.
Those, and the other "toy-like" ones, as well as black and various greys, are available in smaller quantities from what I understand in the first post and later clarification. I remember the picture when he was looking at plastic colors (with the samples Djoga'Ro asked about) and there were a lot of choices.
