I think the issue (at least for me) is when mimicking something in real life (like a flip clock) you need to get the sizes etc. right.
In the case of a flip clock, the two "panels" are the same size. I have one real one at home that has extra info shown on the bottom—which I think could work—as long as the two panels are the same size.
I agree with everyone else regarding the flip clock style. It does seem that it should be of equal proportions.
I wonder, and this is just a wonder, if you put "Days left" on top if that would help?
Other than that, looks good. Really like the snooze icon. The Close Milestone icon doesn't quite illicit the action of closing. Not sure if the icon is wrong, or the text "Close Milestone" is. But something there might be worth looking at again.
The balance and placement of things is already a wonderful improvement to the existing interface. The progress bar looks tasty. I'm also digging the "click to change" link for the date.
I think you could easily address the "flip clock" concerns by balancing the sides. I'll post a rebound for you to consider.

I think if you are going to do the flip clock look. You should separate the "days left". Just doesnt look right. But, other than that, nice!

Hmm, yeah, I might mess with that some more. I thought it was ok since I saw Apple's doing it too: http://drp.ly/18cmdX

Yeah, I'm not a fan of that either.
I have a few ideas in my head, maybe I'll rebound if you don't mind?

Oh, true. In real life, it wouldn't be possible to have un-even sized panels. Good catch!

This is off to an amazing start, Josh!
