For those small number of you who were affected by the anodized gray cases that I didn't allow to pass my quality check, I just wanted to provide another quick update. The powder shop has delivered the replacements slowly to me in batches over the past few weeks (some of which I'm actually shipping out today), but they still haven't given me the full order yet.
Since the
r2.5 anodized cases are likely shipping in the next week or so, it's particularly embarrassing to me to think about the fact that I'm still waiting to wrap up these few remaining r2 orders, and I'm really sorry for the trouble. I sent the a semi-impatient message earlier today and hopefully it'll motivate them to turn around the remaining cases this week, but of course I'm entirely at their mercy in terms of turnaround time. I could go to another shop, but in my experience the results would not be as good.
If anybody is still waiting one of these replacements and would prefer a refund instead, as always, just let me know and it's yours.
Also, thanks everyone for posting all these awesome pics of your case/keyboard/keycap combos in this thread. They all look amazing! It's so nice to see so many of my cases out in the wild. It was particularly cool to see eksuen's collection of three (or was it four?) of these cases at the NorCal meetup a few weeks ago.
