Aware I am likely too late (been having a ittle runaround with PCBWay), but on the off-chance if not. Black backplate, UK. Thanks!
@bnys is there an email address we should keep an eye out for or will the updates show up here?
Pocket Reform display backplate in black +1, in Germany!
I’d like to put in for a pocket reform backplate in purple. I’m in US-RI.
I thought time for orders was long passed?
@bnys any news? Can we still add to our order? Are new orders still processed?
I was out of the country for a bit and been generally busy so sorry for not following up. I’m pestering the machine shop for an updated quote so we can proceed with ordering. Apologies!

It’s been another few months, any word?
Part of the motivations for this backplate were lower soc temperature and that it resolved the wifi problems (see Solving heat related issues with custom lid).
At that time nobody knew what caused the problem with the wifi, now it is known and you can buy a new backplate directly from mnt that solves this (I replaced mine last week and it is night and day).
I suspect with the wifi thing solved there is less interest in this project. I am not saying it stalled because I am not behind this thread’s backplate, but I suspect that interest is lower than when the thread started.
I think an aluminium one still have somewhat improved wifi over the original backplate, but more than that it feels cooler, looks cooler, and is more sturdy/solid.
I think the original cover looks pretty cool but I am using a aluminum cover because it runs a lot cooler. Doing computational heavy stuff drives the temperature up to 90C with the original (and a very hot, but cool looking, logo) plate and 70C with the aluminium. I am afraid I’ll fry components with the original plate.

Hi all! Sorry for the delay. I was able to connect with the shop owner last week and he’s been busy with rush jobs for some big clients. He still wants to take on this work for us but there isn’t time on the schedule for another month or two.
Can everyone interested please let me know that they’d still order parts? Thanks!

Well, I was thrilled with the possible upgrade. Thank you for the initiative. Since it is quite uncertain with the production, I would withdraw from my wish. Sorry that it doesn’t go as desired.

@bnys I would skip my order at this point since I ended up milling a wifi antena on my original backplate. Thanks for organizing this thought!
