Please note that you will need to put the Pi and the PiFace in the case separately as you will need to align each board in to the slots cut in to the case for it. Be particularly careful when putting the Pi Face in so as not to damage either the tactile switches or the selector switch at the top as they can be a bit fragile and the case is under a bit of pressure whilst you pop it in to the top slot

It's OK just fiddly.. The carbon fibre effect looks cool though!

Do you have any heads up abut the dispatch of the goods.
Being on the far side of the world, I'm curious if Santa or the goods will arrive first.

I'm thinking an overnight order for the Pi Face Controller (via the NZ site), to ensure Xmas day doesn't get delayed might be in order.

Cheers

Obviously I do not work for E14 but I did ask for you and it seems it will be coming (or ready gone from) the US site so in fact customs aside it should be with you very soon(Courier speed at least).

The Pi Face is quite a nice interface so maybe you could order one for you own projects use it for this one then replace it with the one from the kit latter on ?

Apparently they have moved my "Unboxing" video in to public circulation so you can see what you are going to get when it arrives:

Thanks for that, and the video.
It will help identifying the case.

I too was thinking about timing this afternoon as well. Headed to the PO shortly to see if it is waiting on me. Thanks for looking into that.
