Yep. The new case is the third version (!) -- with a bump under the keyboard (Mugen Power's E90 has it, from the pic he posted -- it is a v2.0 case), slightly longer hinge, slightly more recessed keyboard and (a rumoured) glass protection for the internal screen. But the new case also apparently (= according to rumour) has a slightly larger gap between the top and bottom units (dust can get into the KB and onto the screen), and less sturdy hinges.
Most of the defects (keyboard scratching screen, hissing noise in mic, creaks galore, loose camera module, uneven feet, and susceptibility of the internal screen to magnetic fields like the ones in belt-pouches) have been reported from Europe, where they mostly get the "Made in Finland" sets. So much for the "quality" of Made in Finland vis-a-vis "Made by Nokia".
Maybe I'm lucky, but mine rocks -- No issues even after medium to heavy use over the last month. None of the problems reported (like the ones listed above). With a screen-protector for the internal screen, this thing is like a tank. Maybe the first gen. models will even fetch a premium (rarity value heh, heh) later.
From the news on the symbian forums, Europe had gone mostly out-of-stock over the last month. Production is definitely being shifted to the 3rd gen case. No photos have appeared yet.
