Ok, this is a little suspicious to me. I'm not saying that they are lying but changing the material the shell is made out of a few months before release is not just a major change, it is a monumental change. This means reworking all the manufacturing lines. Getting new material providers set up. Doing CAD/CAM work to create the new shell. Getting it approved. Retraining the manufacturing line employees. New assembly methods and training. Also, don't you have to re-go through FCC certification if you change the case material.
