I was one of the
I was one of the original backers and I got the plastic version initially. I liked the high profile aluminum version, so I ordered that one too. I did not expect to like it this much, it is really great! I think the sound is better, it looks better and it feels much more premium. One thing to note is that the HP version is very heavy, initially I did not pay attention to this detail, but I think this is not very portable, so I would stick with the plastic case version for portability. Also, I would appreciate a pouch / carrying case for both of them, particularly the plastic version.
