New Purchase A Very Rare Find Of A New Styling

A little off topic here, as for the cases the Echelons come in, some come with a special "2011" case, some come with a regular hardcase.. Any idea why?
 
Thats what I thought until I saw some on ebay without the case, but still with the Echelon microbag

Also, @Nyarlathotep is trading his Echelon, which comes with the regular case!

A part of me is wondering if the case provided has something to do with gloss/matte frame coating...

My second pair of Echelon Jawbone should be in today or tomorrow, if I end up having 2 matte finish I'm gonna be pissed lol I still can't really tell from photos the difference but once I get the other pair in hopefully I'll be able to see a difference lol If not, I'll be selling a pair lol

Anyone notice the pattern of the carbon fiber is different? The direction of the weave is definitely different. Its not as if they just put a gloss coat over the matte true carbon color.
On the one on the right, the (gloss)carbon looks like the one you can customize on a regular Radar, so yeah, maybe they ran not of true carbon print??

And does anyone know anything about the "2011" case. Apparently some jawbones and radars do not come with it. My theory is that it might have something to do with whether the frame is gloss/matte

Both of those jawbones came with 2011 cases.
