Another update for you all:
My concern about the navy colour was not warranted. It seems like the potato pictures didn't do justice to the anno finish. Have a look at my potato pictures instead. From my pixel 2

So I am pretty happy how the navy turned out. I will meet the rest of the aeboards team and pic it apart for some rigorous QC'ing, but from the surface level, it looks pretty dope.
Once we have the PCBS in, I will test fit, then once we are happy with everything being perfect, we will start manufacturing.
So far, our communication with the manufacturer has been excellent and clear, and it shows in the delivery of this production sample. It's still in the manufacturing stage and so I hope we keep this relationship in tiptop shape!
This is the last call for colour changes. Please mention if you bought a cable, so I can update the cable guy to do the same colour. LAST CALL!
Have a safe holiday everyone.
