EDIT: Not too bad. The middle one looks a little flat on iOS compared to the other two, but at least the color scheme is right.
The 1st and 3rd are huge compared to the middle one!

Aaand, if my EmojiInput extension for Chrome is any indication of how they'd look on Android devices, they're way too small in comparison with the middle (like, the icons we have now are closer to the right size than that). Not to mention, they're entirely the wrong color.

*sigh* Back to the drawing board.

My Android says the opposite, though.... Anyway.

On Mac OS, the middle one looks twice the size of the others.

I agree with having a difference between something planned, but not playable, and a released part of a case. Somebody browsing the forums for something to play (but not necessarily complete) would want to avoid the former, but not the latter.
The only Unicode symbols I could find that fit ○ and ● (which I'd like to keep since they work nicely) are ◌ and ◙. The former is kind of hard to distinguish from ○, though, at least on my machine, so the latter is probably the best choice.

Alternately, maybe an unfilled diamond shape would work? It's not as ideal as a half circle, I'm afraid, but it would show something different than the unfilled circle.

Just post it here; then we can decide if it would work.

◊: Released case. Currently unfinished, but in a playable beta state. Updates will be forthcoming.

●: Fully released case. All planned content has been added. Updates are mainly to fix bugs at this point.

I actually like it, and there's almost no difference between the Windows and Android diamond(the latter is a bit thinner, but no big deal.)

So the only new symbol is the diamond?

Yes. The other symbols have been around so long, I see no reason to change them if we don't have to (the only reason I suggested changing the original was the size difference, but since the diamond is pretty close in size, that's no longer an issue).

I'm fine with the choice of unicode symbol.

The diamond is for any case that has more than a preview but less than the full case playable?
