Well, DrMoze ... what can I say

Mine is a bit faster than prs505, but is like "not smooth micromachined metal". Maybe two different factories / versions ? I will disassemble mine, in order to see the eink screen brand... I will keep you informed ....

Dura: It is certainly not a scratch from transit: I can see the "extrusion pattern" over the metal sheet that covers the casing, very evenly, even on the curved side (right side) which I think would be difficult to produce after it is assembled as a final piece.

It is BARELY noticeable. I mean, it is not like "oh my god, the metal sheet is ripping / peeling away" but certainly it is NOT the finish that my prs-505 had.

Regards,
