Good news: the 3D Robotics store is now offering custom-molded cases for APM 2, in both top-pin and side-pin variety. They're $4.99 each. All new APM 2s now ship with these cases, included free!
They're smokey semi-transparent, so you can see the LEDs through the case. The button on the top connects to the APM 2 reset button.
Comment by Parke @ ParkeFlyer on June 29, 2012 at 2:11pm Nice. This is a great addition. When will you be accepting orders again for the APM 2?
APM 2 (unassembled) are available for order now. Orders for APM 2 (assembled) will begin next week, when the second Tijuana factory opens.
Comment by Gareth Rens on June 29, 2012 at 2:20pm The question is, can we different colors? :)
Comment by Muthanna A. Attyah on June 29, 2012 at 2:22pm In my current build I’m using external RESET switch and UART0 from the right side of APM2 board, the new APM2 case does not have window for those connections ! I will have to modify the case before using it.
Comment by Parke @ ParkeFlyer on June 29, 2012 at 2:30pm A second factory... that's great! Congratulations on your success and the great Wired article you wrote.
...when the second Tijuana factory opens.
Gareth: Just smokey gray for now. Maybe other colors someday if there's enough demand.

Fluorescent orange for me, for when the inevitable happens!
Comment by Tony H on June 29, 2012 at 3:08pm Chris, my APM 2 shipped Wednesday. Will this be with it, or do they start shipping with it next week?

Comment by Gareth Rens on June 29, 2012 at 3:09pm Purple would have been cool :)
