• a notice that the warehouse is closed until August 18
• on the order page, the calculator with standard case shows "in stock" but the calculator with leather case says "currently unavailable"
  

So, some questions....

Does this mean that orders placed today won't go out until August 18 at the earliest?

Also, the cost of the leather case is 19 Euros by itself, but only 15.50 when purchased with the calculator. If I buy it here, I want the leather case, but it's all right with me if I get the calculator quickly and the nicer case arrives a few weeks later. Is there a way to do that at the reduced cost or does international shipping preclude that?

Asking here instead of by private channel, since I can't be the only one in the US with these questions (I suspect).

To answer above questions:

Yes, we are closed until the 18th and the current orders will leave that day (and some orders that have been returned by carriers too)

We still have stock of HP15c available.

We have run out of black leather cases - we expected far less demand and the production batch was exhausted last week. The production time of such case make it impossible to have more until well into September.

For those who already bought the calculator with leather case and we unexpectedly run out of them, we will send the cases separately when they arrive at no cost. We have explained that to them in the invoice accompanying the calculator. We imagined that the real urge was for the calculator - at least it would be for me!

However, we will not do it "on purpose": if we do not have the leather case, we need to put it as not available for the time being.
