The polarity marking should now be correct, it was a mistake that one
user mentioned for previous batch.

The voltage is expected as I now measure the value at the battery pins.
When there is no battery, it’s 8.4V for basic and 12.6 for boost. There
is good and bad doing that, but previously the measuring point would
only give me Vcc.

For the casing you’re right and I forgot about that, sorry. I had the
option to put the IR receiver on the bottom side and I did not like it,
so I opted for this solution but the casing should have been modified.
You can reverse it but if you have a display, the missing honeycomb will
be misplaced, and the opening for speakers header are a bit off. That
still works though. The difficulty is that the case is made by the
generosity of people around here and I don’t want to abuse it. Still,
I’ll discuss @chill and @merlineng if we can make a batch of tops where
the on/off opening is simply mirrored to be above the antenna. 

Meanwhile, I can send cases with no on/off holes if you prefer.
