That would certainly be a very big disappointment.

I've never liked glossy black for any electronic device. Sadly, my interest is starting to fade. If they can't go matte, then I might avoid this device -- unless they come up with a few alternate pigment choices. Doing special runs of the case in different pigments should add little to no cost to the process, unless they've already taken delivery of a massive batch of cases in black.

AFAIK, these glossy black cases are for the engineering samples. And I would hope that glossy white and matte black are still viable choices.
