Grey and purple seem to have a large lead.

Interestingly enough, 94% of people are interested in a glass lid. Would people prefer to have that as the standard option knowing that it will be a bit more expensive, or keep the acrylic as the standard option?

Just got a quick snap from the factory of the purple prototype! It's shipping to me today.

I've also ordered the glass lid prototype. Once I have both and confirm that they are good to go, I will set a date for the GB. Hopefully we are ready to launch for the end of April or beginning of May!

Prototype is in to me! This purple is pretty cool, looks purple in some lighting and magenta in others.
