Still fresh, damnit!
I think he sent some of them out as curios to the prototype preorderers. I don't know how many there were, and if there are any left and he'd need to build more of them to be able to sell them or not.
I should advise you that these are less than ideal if used as a keyboard upper, since you'd just end up with the keyboard backlight shining out and blasting the contrast to hell and back. There may be a similar problem with the screen surround, given the backlight there as well, although those screens normally have sufficient contrast that a little spilled light isn't a problem. But as far as I know there's no reason to not have the battery back and screen back (basically all of the external plastics) in clear if that floats your boat.
