The newest version includes INTEGRATED connector protectors. Is that what is being sold here?

Yes. The connectors are integrated into the body of the case. They are securely connected and fit seamlessly into the the audio and lightning cable holes. This feature is well designed in my opinion. Edit: Sorry I thought I was commenting on the Switcheasy colors, I had bought both. The Switcheasy tones covers/plugs are not I attached to the body of the case like the Colors.

http://youtu.be/x88PnTGp8JIIt's exactly like this review. So the connectors aren't attached to the case, but you do get the protectors. a set of two actually.

They were not integrated on the version I just received and returned last week.

Yep that is exactly why I bought it. Case has a 3.0 connector (wider one pictured) but my board has a 2.0 header (smaller one).

The one I ordered several months ago had the new backplane in it. The PCB was also blue instead of green like the older case I am using.

Same thing happenned to me. Called monster and was given a case number to call after the holiday's for re-issue. Said it was a new feature and the box covers are being put on pre-mature. Straight connector suck's.

I bought it in 2008 when it was first released and it did come with the I/O shield and accessories listed on Intel's website here: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/dg45id/sb/CS-029132.htm At that time, it was coming straight from Intel. It looks like it is being sold by a 3rd party seller now, so it might not include everything. You should probably try to contact the seller "IT Source" to be sure. The motherboard is still working great and is used daily.

No, the model I got came with old 16 pin - however the latest model seem to have the lightening cable compatibility.

I was pleasantly surprised that mine came with an internal USB 3.0 connector. I think the picture and description need to be updated. Mine was a flat black, not the glossy black shown here.

Yes, the over charge protector (also called a charge controller) is included, as are various wire connectors. You will not need everything in the kit.

The Neptune does not have a cover that goes over the USB port as in previous models. The connectors look like they are gold-plated so that probably keeps them from becoming corroded, therefore not requiring further protection.

I ordered three from three sellers, even though the listing said the driver was included none came with any disk. I ordered three of these from three sellers as a test, two turned out to be the same seller, same return ID and shipper and item, but one was different and the unit I received though it looked the same, same case and sticker, had a different gold connector and a different PID. So it did not work on the linux environment I needed it to. All sold on the same Amazon page! This is not right and Amazon has too low a standards of integrity for me. As do the Chinese sellers who sell "about the same" items on the same Amazon page. That's not right!

There is a sticker next to the SKU which contains the serial number, firmware version, and hardware version. The latter will look like "H/W:V1.0R" for the version 1 model. Apart from the USB 3.0 port, TrendNet claims other improvements for Version 2: http://www.trendnet.com/press/releases/view.asp?id=2673

The one I received looked new and came with protective covers on the displays. It has been working great

I have not purchased from this vendor however the one in the picture is NOT the v2 model. There is another one listed on Amazon that states it is the "af" model and as you will see in the image both ports are labeled with PoE.

It is a protector and indicates if the plug you are using is wired correctly.

My version purchased earlier this year included USB, Lightning, and 30 pin cable.
