I agree. The Black, White devices, from what I have read, do not have the soft paint covering, and as such, I am willing to bet that the colour samples that Astak were given a month ago were also the same hard plastic colour, without the skin.

Going by this assumption, Astak was being truthful in stating what they said. As for why Jinke put the skin coatings on the coloured devices, I don't know. I've heard a few guesses about chemicals, possible toxins in the plastic, etc.. But i don't know for sure.

I'll most likely just peel off the matte skin here soon. I'll then try and see if there's a way to take the case apart, and remove the eink display and parts. Once I do that, I'm gonna sandpaper the plastic casing and give it a good paint job.

I'll also look into seeing what the price would be for black PEZ buttons.
