Hi Mark,<br class="">
<br class="">
An update!! So, I thought I'd open up the unit and see what was
going on with the case by itself. The moment I released one of the
screws, there was a snap! and the side popped into place. <i class="">It is
now in perfect alignment.</i><br class="">
<br class="">
I don't remember which screw it was, but it seems that the PC board
wasn't seated properly when the case was assembled.<br class="">
<br class="">
So, not a defect in the material, but rather in the assembly
process.<br class="">

<pre wrap="" class="">Hi Mark,
It's totally cosmetic, and the unit will be under the dash in the car,
so nobody else will see it (or if they do, I'll call it a proto unit :)
). Unless you want this one back, I am fine with keeping it. Just
thought you should know about it.

<pre wrap="" class="">Greg,
That is nasty. It must be a manufacturing defect, as I haven’t seen anything like that on other cases (and I’ve seen about 25 of them).
I’ll send you another case in the mail, when I next go to the post office.
Regards, Mark.

Hard to measure the overhang... Here's what it looks like.
I think the dust cap issue depends on how the sealing flap is closed
over the module, i.e. whether the sticky part is fully attached to the
body of the envelope, or whether it's done loosely, leaving a bit of the
adhesive exposed to the contents. I got "lucky" in that regard :(.

My dust caps were in place and OK. The top shell also is a bit wider than the bottom, but nowhere near 1 mm, more like 0.2 - 0.3.

<pre wrap="" class="">Hi Mark,
The 3.1 module arrived in today's mail. I haven't plugged it in yet,
but two "unboxing" observations...
The unit looks really nice, though it seems that the top shell is a tad
too wide and overlaps the bottom piece by nearly a mm on one corner.
And, not evenly, at that; it's like the corner by the Vehicle connector
got stretched a bit outward (or the other half pushed inward). The
other two sides are all pretty evenly matched. The 3.0 proto unit was
not like this. {shrug}
Also, the two SMA dust caps seemed to have had some reaction with the
adhesive on the flap of the padded envelope. They were stuck to the
flap, pulled away from the connectors (so, not much dust protection),
and the adhesive on the flap seemed to be very gooey in that area. The
caps seemed to have been more or less unaffected, so it's more of a
cosmetic issue. Perhaps they could point the module in the other
direction (SMA end first), to prevent this in the future?
My intent is to play "customer" with this unit, only using officially
released code, updated through typical methods (i.e. not via the
developer's kit) unless I need to do otherwise. I've got some
short-term distractions through the weekend, but will take it out for a
spin next week.
Greg
