****ING HELL i just got a U9BL 
? This isn't the new XArmor people have said is coming "sometime" (ie browns, etc), this is the non-backlit (and in turn slightly cheaper) version of the U9BL... unless you meant you didn't want backlighting?
This is "new" only in that it wasn't in stock yet, the information on it has been on their site for months.
Oh well, back to fiddling with a TG3 and learning how to code for Atmels =(
