Yours are way better than mine. Are these pics AFTER you drilled out the charge indicator hole? None of mine had the indicator and I note that yours are in the proper place even though they mounted the USB upside down (oops).
I'll make another order and see if I get better the next time. I can't really complain because I understood the description... but I don't want people thinking they should expect decent looking boxes with a 15% not DOA rate unless that's actually the case. I figure the $5 each is worth it for the USB charge circuit and OLED display though... and since I intend to rubberize them, I don't care too much about the housing dents/pitting/scratches.
I actually wonder if it's because I might have bought the last they had... or if larger orders get junkier devices sent?! I think I will do smaller orders next time.
I sent the nicest looking one I received out to another ECF member this afternoon.
Is there another thread just for this topic...? Or might that be a bad idea since they will likely just raise the price... as figure they might just due to the reviews or perhaps they have started double checking for simple issues like 'stealth' etc and will begin offering a 'rejects' listing...
Yep, I drilled the charging light hole with a drill press.
They came in a USPS small flat rate box with no packaging so they were rattling around inside which is probably why they had some marks, at least on my order. They were actually $25 per box a few months ago and not worth it at that price but for $5 ea, it was worth a gamble. I was planning on replacing them with DNA 40's but 2 are working fine so I'll wait on those. I'll probably throw a DNA 40 in the blue one soon since it's empty. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the 3 I just ordered. If I can get some cheap DNA 30's I might upgrade them. I would like at least 2 to have DNA 40's though.
There's a thread for modding Hana clone boxes HERE.
