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.

Gareth: Just smokey gray for now. Maybe other colors someday if there's enough demand.
A second factory... that's great! Congratulations on your success and the great Wired article you wrote.
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.
The question is, can we different colors? :)
APM 2 (unassembled) are available for order now. Orders for APM 2 (assembled) will begin next week, when the second Tijuana factory opens.
Nice. This is a great addition. When will you be accepting orders again for the APM 2?
