I just got my blue PEZ today and it does have a flaw in the finish. I followed this thread all day at work and was hoping I'd be spared but no such luck. I know that if I keep it as is I'll just rub and pick at that place until I make it worse so I've just emailed Astak support for a replacement.

That said, the unit is still charging but I tested it a little bit before pluggin it in and was really pleased with the page turn time in the user manual. It seemed much faster than my Sony 505. I love my Sony but kind of got caught up in the moment when the Pocket Pro was first announced here on MR and ordered one on impulse.

Overall my first impression is positive even allowing for the finish snafu. The case is nice and the unit just feels good in my hands. I appreciate Astak's responsiveness in addressing the issue so promptly.
