I have read reviews from guys that have already received their "seconds" cases and rave about them. The problem that the seconds have is a small inner portion of the slot for the "O" ring, did not get molded due to flow problems with the plastic. It is not supposed to drastically affect anything. I may or may not fix the area with some epoxy and flock. I will have to wait and see.

I now that the military uses Starlight cases.
