Any news about re-anodized cases?
I actually just got an update an hour or so ago. It is what I would describe as good to medium-good news. The good part is that they seemed to have finally found a shop that is nailing the anodizing, both the colors and without cosmetic defects, but they medium part is that they anticipate another week or so before it's all done. No big deal, I suppose, in the grand scheme, but I know you guys would both love to have this project shipped, just as I would love to have it over so I can move on to other ones.
I had actually forgotten that these have to be re-engraved with the laser again after being re-anodized, which takes a few days, and hadn't factored that into the updated timeline.
For whatever it's worth, one of my concerns from the QC check was that the "galactic blue" cases weren't all perfectly color-matched. I'm happy to report that the new anodizing shop the machine shop is working with seems to have nailed it. In the photo below, you'll see the prototype case that I used in the product shots on my site, along with one of the shop's test pieces from the batch you guys who ordered that color will all be getting.
This was taken just this morning. (Note that this is under bright inspection lights, and the blue cases under normal lighting look notably darker.)
Please don't hesitate to post here or email me with any questions! Thanks everyone for your continued patience and, as always. <3
