06/27/2021 Update:
Cases:
The cases are currently shipping to me via sea freight. Its going to be a few weeks before they arrive here in Houston, TX.
Once the units are here they have to pass through customs and I don't know how long that is going to take.
Please know that I might be completely in the dark when it comes to timelines from now on. I promise to do my absolute best to update you on anything that happens.
PCB:
Created a build with the production unit PCB on Friday night and it worked perfectly.
The new JST cable fits really well in the bottom case.
The matte black/gold colors look great! Thanks, Mechlovin', for your hard work on these!
Seeing the PCB automatically show up on VIA when plugging in the USB-C cable was a special feeling :)
Other:
No other updates to report.

Not yet. I'll probably put 9009 on it, but I'm hoping to pick up a CRP set sometime in the the next few weeks. Can't go wrong with beige on silver!
