i can't find the fucking case tho. anyone want to trade a case for a touchstone?

if anyone wants i can pick up the touchstone for them at the best buy here and ship it.
it cost $43.19 after taxes
would probably cost... $6 or so to ship it via USPS in a flat rate box

I just noticed the "Last Change" status on my SMB order.

It says 29-Aug-2011 00:36 GMT. Last I remembered this was 8/24 or some date really close to my order date. So it has changed. Meaning they are updating the orders?

Things might be looking good for us with the SMB orders.
