For those asking, here's the current status.
We shipped over some review and sample units, and many of them were damaged. We found this was for two reasons.
1) Somebody ran into a pallet of them with a forklift. No joke.
2) There is a small tooling issue that allows the door to fit too loosely. This isn't a big deal at the factory, but during shipping, some of the vibration on the doors caused them to go out of spec, meaning that they wouldn't close correctly. This wasn't on 100% of the cases, but on enough of them that it's an issue.
Since Chinese New Year is just ending, and workers are coming back to the factories, we're making a tweak to the tolerance so the doors will fit better. This will make the case much more secure and solid, but will take about a week to complete, so first shipments won't leave until next week from China.
This means that you won't see units in retail until the end of March.
Sorry for the delay guys, but it's the right thing to do. Chances are we could ship today and 80% of them would arrive no problem at all, but I'm not comfortable with that kind of failure rate.
The last thing I want is for somebody to buy a $350 case and find out that the door doesn't fit.
