Reviews are up, according to this site it'll be 39,900 yen, after converting over its pretty much the same regular price as the E8 3.0

Are you talking about the same brown/ beige like the HX in Timber ?

Looks like less battery life for the case with only two additional charges 

Looks like less battery life after translating that article, only 2 additional charges, so looking at 21-22 hours total.

Google translate works quite well. You'll see the two colour schemes in the pics

 

I really don’t like that they seem to have made it more bulky with that protruding «fin» that presumably does things with ANC. Making it something other than round is like reintroducing the notch on a future iPhone that didn’t have it any more. But the charging case looks sweet.
