It sounds to me like you might have selected a layout language. There are a lot of android layouts that comes with the phone, they work poorly and should be ignored(!) You got three options selecting the keyboard layout for the hardware 1) For US letter-shifted QWERTY deselect all tick boxes, do NOT select US (Yes I know it is odd....) 2) For German standard QWERTZ select German, do NOT select another qwertz based layout 3) Install FinQWERTY that supports several languages for the Pro1 for both hardware layouts, and you can use more than one, I use Danish+US+Swedish

Well depending on the case you choose, and the way you turn it you will need to modify more or less for the camera. But nothing complex. The most complex was for a flip case to punch a few holes for earpiece, secondary mic and notification LED. But the whole thing takes a few minutes only (and of course more if you for aesthetic reason, want it done more accurate. To me part of the point folding it that way is that the flap when closed protects the buttons & fingerprint reader. And I deliberately cut in the INNER part only for the camera, so the lens is protected when closed. But the

Just ordered this too https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303235791812

A thermometer or a pill dispenser at the least might be somewhat useful. But loosing to the wowcube, that seems like a totally useless toy.... Ouch

And even on that we have fallen behind....

Well "clearly" might be pushing it, but they did not try to hide the rather odd process.

Nah. they clearly said so, we are talking the POPULAR vote ....But that said having a finalist that only had 8 (EIGHT!) user votes, does not indicate impartiality.

It could sit just fine closed in portrait. However it could be an issue NOT having it pressing one of the keys... It would require 'jaws' with large clearance (about 7-8cm) to grip symmetric around the device and above the volume rockers. If asymmetric it needs some 5cm clearance to get across the power and volume rocker.

You are right, but that does not fit well with a flip case... Another option for landscape might be this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121370954178 perhaps cutting off the top 'wings'

It is actually not that easy to find car holders intended for landscape. Just ordered this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/362815024453 (Sure a lot of the portrait holders can be rotated, but the portrait grip comes a a high risk of interfering with the buttons on the long top edge, and many are likely to not work when the Pro1 is opened, and certainly not with a flip case...)

From what we have heard is should be very service friendly. Is I understand it the only thing that is not accessible by screws should be the keyboard plate (that requires a heat gun)

On a phone Just like a car window, once you got a small crack it can extend .

If you are using it a in case, it could make a lot of sense to add some iron for a magnet. Of course you can also stick it directly on the phone, but that will impair the aesthetics

PS If you add an iron ring to use with a magnetic car holder, it would make a LOT of sense to have the flap turning downwards... As the flap would otherwise fall over the phone if placed closed in landscape (say for sat nav)

If the flap is the other way you can not hold it in your left in portrait and operate it with your right, unless you fold the flap under, and that gives a poor grip. But for those holding the device in the right hand, and operate with the right it is better to have the flap the other way. If the other way the flap is slightly obstructing keyboard usage, but not substantially, if your thumbs are long enough to reach across. But sure as a westerner it feels more natural that it opens like our books, and not like say a Japanese book.

Can this app also limit to SLOW charge, if selected, when connected to a fast charger, so I do not need to use two chargers not to kill the battery?

Yes upside down. Oddly I was not able to find any cases designed for right handed people, only for holding in right hand in portrait and operate with the left (really odd as most people are right handed BTW)

I had a generic one lying around, and though it works, I would like to hear of better alternatives. Especially If it can work in both portrait and landscape opened and closed, and with the flip case without pressing side keys....

....Theoretically one could also imagine two toothed-halves, where the teeth from below and above gripped into the small space without colliding. If made rather precise and in a more stiff material than the soft silicone it could work - but would still interfere with the edge interaction. And could leave the front of the keyboard with an unpleasant tagged edge...

Damned you are fast! 😎😎😎

I simply do not see this as possible. The small distance between the two halves is already used for the grip of the lower part. and it would also interfere with the edges of the display. In theory we could have a case on the bottom half with something sticking up at the ends protection the top when closed, but it would make it harder to access the keyboard. So If you want to protect the top half, you would need to go for the clumbsy flip case type. I see no ways around it without affecting the functionality .... and function IS key. 😇

He seems to be an extremely kind and helpful guy. Super responsive to all the small ideas and suggestions I have come up with, Perfecting the Danish for qwertY as well as qwertZ, and as far as I know, he has not even received his own unit yet.

Let us see if we can not persuade Anssi to make the one he made for Czech for the physical qwertY in a variant for the qwertZ too, ....You might help persuading him by 'giving a beer' with the donate button. 😇

Yes it fits fine. I just updated the blog post with a flip case for the Huawei P20 Pro, I have been using for about a week. It fits better than the Note7 one.

I finally pulled myself togethher and updated the above with the flip case for a Huawei p20 Pro
