4 orders left unpaid and with no contact. I've sent reminders declaring tomorrow as the cutoff since I don't feel like holding up the buy any longer. I'll be getting in contact with the manu this evening(morning China time) to get the final quote and work on submitting the order.

Thanks so much for your works!

Right now it's an estimated two weeks for the cables to get shipped to me, at which point non-proxy unterminated cables will be shipped out, and then I'll begin working on the terminated cables. I'll begin work on the proxy orders, get them out first then move onto the CONUS ones and ship them as I finish them working down the order numbers. There's a total of ~230 orders, so I'm not completely certain on when I'll be able to get them out. I'd expect proxy orders to be shipped from me within a week of receiving the cables and CONUS orders to begin going out immediately after, assuming no hiccups in production.

What would be super cool would be if you'd offer a design with a longer micro-usb end, to make it perfect for Ellipse's new F77. That keyboard has a length of cable inside the case you see. A little more than half the length of the long piece in the current cable added to the micro-usb end, would do it imho.

At the current length I'm already playing with the USB's rated length for data transfer, so I'd need to change the design of the cable pretty noticeably to get more length out of it. Good news is as long as the manu sticks to their end of the agreement with production, I'll be looking to work with them in the future for more cables like this.

Any extras are unterminated and will be built to order once available.

In other news, got an email this morning that the cables are finished up and getting ready to ship




I expect them to arrive in around a week as long as customs doesn't take too much time with them.

Agreed, but I like it and it only makes me regret not getting one of these to go with my greyed out Anne. Grey is the new black, ladies and gentlemen.

EDIT: Donut, I'll need to change my delivery address - what's the best way to do this? If you're going USPS it should make its way to me through redirect, but I'd rather cut out that extra step and risk point, just in case.

This is much faster than I expected.

As someone who missed the deadline, I am eagerly awaiting announcements on leftovers (and will wait patiently until all GB orders will be fulfilled).
Do you expect to have them on your store until stock runs out? Will you post an announcement here for those of us who unfortunately missed out?

Smallish update, got a call today that my stuff is being held by FedEx currently cause the info on the shipment isn't the exact same as the info they have on file for me. I'm guessing there might be a formatting error or something, but they're supposed to email me a form to fill out and send back to prove my information is correct and that the shipment really is mine. Isn't expected to take long, I'm still waiting on the form but I'll get it submitted as soon as I have my hands on it.

Well, unfortunately there's not a "grey and beige", there's just the single color that's meant to be beige.



It does seem that the "beige" came out less saturated than I had expected from that RAL code, and direct lighting doesn't much help the coloration though in dimmer lighting it's a bit better.
