That was the direction they were going.  Glued on metal plates but I believe they had some problems with the plates properly staying on.  Not sure what the final solution is though.

yup my v2+ infinity was sent back because of this issue. It came new to me with the corners not properly glued on.

Mine has stayed properly glued (so far). Cheers

  funny thing is I paid for the V2+ last year around mai.... now the v2+ can be bought from an online reseller in france. And quite a few people do have it already with the new case and all!
 
Haha funny world!
 
Of course I still don't have mine!

Not so surprising.  They already have your money.  This is new money, which they probably need to keep the company going, after all of the design and manufacturing errors they have experienced.

The one shown in the picture from the store in France is not the new case!

The picture in the French website is wrong. Anyway the guy who bought had to return it as it died a couple of minutes after first usage... Lol

Karma fixed that one. Guy trying to skip the line, LH trying to screw pre-release buyers.

Possible some vendors might have participated in the funding process somehow as well? I mean I have no idea but it's not uncommon for crowdfunded projects to have outside backing.

You're totally right. I believe one of the tiers was even called "distributor pack" or something like that. This one wasn't crowd funded, though. The V2+ was a straight pre-release buy, as far as I remember.
 
Anyway, I wouldn't take my comment any further than me laughing at the unit breaking and then just TS'ing because that's about all this thread is good for for now. Until some next, fully functional unit comes out.

Supposed to be, yes.

Well this update just came in, and I am posting it here for what it is worth :
 

 
Hello again...,
 

 
We know a lot of you are eager to get your Geek Out V2+, and so are we. We spent a lot of time to detour away from 3D printed chassis to a fine molded one. We have added a new painted layer on the chassis spine to make it even better. These spines are more resistant to impact and give a nice finish. Finally, the factory sent us a batch of pilot run samples and we are all happy with them.


We are getting close to the delivery of the improved GOV2+ and expect to complete shipments of the GOV2+ backers towards the end of May and early June. Because of your patience through this process, we will be providing a nice leather case to carry your GOV2+ without risk of dropping or scratching as a gift. We will keep you posted weekly on the status of the GOV2+.
 

All the best,

LH Labs Team,

******************

So looking forward to end of May or early June, as well as the promised weekly updates.
