sorry for the delay, i was away from home. i did get the invoice and paid it. thanks!
Too bad they don't sell them in this corner of the globe, so I got me some extra too.
Yeah, I managed to get it to look better in the pics than it really is. Input hole is a little higher than the output side, also the led is not aligned straight and the the led hole ripped while drilling. 
I did small pilot holes at first by using the hole guide PDF file provided in the first post and then grinded the holes larger with my cheap dremel copy.
I haven't had the time yet to test its' hand warming capabilities, but yes it could be handy here in Finland (-10 degrees Celcius this morning). I'll get to test the battery life when I get the charger delivered that was missing from the battery shipment. The mint case really fits well in my hands and no doubt the portability will be good.

I didn't know what the little ceramics were for either. I'm not very skilled at reading schematics. So what exactly do they do as a bypass on the power side? Is it similar to what the WIMAs do on the output--pass high frequencies more easily? Sorry, my understanding of how circuits work is minimal.

That's clear, but there is 47uF MLCC and 100n MLCC on the rails already, along with 100uF OSCON (not sure what OSCON is doing there, as Panasonic FC would probaby do the same job just fine). I don't think 47uF MLCC is adding any value, imho.
There is no 47uF MLCC. Look at BOM list at bottom of post 1.
Caps now recommended are Nichicon 2200uF 16v electrolytic plus 2 x 0.1uF X7R on rails per channel. On audio output coupler is now recommended 390uF OSCOn with 1uF film bypass. In audio input coupled is 2.2uF film. That's it for caps.
BOM repeated here for convenience.
