Joo think we're stoopid?

Same case, mucho cheaper. The un-needed glass face is eliminated from the sale from this seller and therefore ax's the price.

Project Red Light......since that means STOP

Just ordered mine, I opted for the MMI Blue !!!!! Also went ahead and purchased a 16GB logic board. Figured since I'll have to open it, might as well make it truly worth the effort!
