They already have some gimmicks up their sleeve here, But stuff like that I see as things that can be tuned with updates after it is on the street, as this is pure software/firmware, so no haste. In the most primitive variant I assume it could be put deep down in the hardware layer 'simply' presenting a lesser logical display to the OS. My personal favourite would be if we can have a lesser logical screen in Portrait than in landscape. But the elegant solution would be if Android allows for the use of the full screens in stuff using the entire screen (showing images/videos), and

You can make that for a Pro1 and have double sliding keyboards... 🙄🤣😇

If I remember right that was a case that got rails in it self, we can't really do a similar thing here ...technically you could extend the top an bottom with some external parallel mechanism, but It would be complex, clumpsy, and fragile as it would be exposed.

What we really need is something like this (slight elaboration of previous idea), based on a case that fits the lower half (red) and some say leather (orange) ....prepared for bending in places that will require some experiments, my guesses marked in green. Note that the bottom corner must be free, or another bending place added, to allow the slide to open. ADD: Perhaps with some straps over each end (blue)

Why on earth does the sex of the phone-users matter? Just asking.... Except there will (statistically speaking) be a higher change for women to have so slim fingers then can use all ten for typing on the Pro1.

As it seems hard to find cases that have bands over the ends, other models might be considered, if we are going to add the bands ourselves anyway, e.g. Huawei have a few that got the camera in a similar arrangement, so for the back we would not have to make a new hole, it would merely be a matter of PERHAPS adjusting the hole for the camera. Here a search by dimensions... The Huaweis got slightly softer corners, and the side keys/finger print scanner are a bit higher up (held in portrait). So some adjustments are needed here too...

I think I will be overstepping a NDA if I go into such details on license bound stuff without permission. I will (again) refer you to asking the staff

It isn't different

Well if you can not find neither the codename nor the official name on the list, why do you expect I can?? My text search is not better than yours I presume. It could be a third code name, it could be the list is not updated, it could be the certification is not finalized - I have no idea, we will need the staff to answer stuff like that....

Your guess is as good as mine....

The link says " If your device isn't listed, it may be newly released "

I got some (forcible cancelled) preorders 2 and 3 apart, So I'm pretty sure every number was used sequentially BUT if someone emptied their cart, the numbers were not reused. So all we know is that there are less than something like 40000 orders (the first many numbers most likely used for testing), And that the number of our order can give us an rough estimate on where we are in the queue, If we for simplicity assume numbers started around 4000, and is currently at 44000, then a number 14xxx will be roughly 25% in. (Yes I know we were about 1500 IGG backers, where a good part is lik

I made a F.. up merging two threads, hopefully staff can clean up my mess..... (In the old forum Merge was "Merge into", in the new it is "Merge from"....)

More that I would like to see what they can achieve, before I start tampering myself.

I think I will wait a while, to have them make the first updates fixing the major of what ever bugs will occur when it is it used in the wild. Maybe experimenting with various images on the pre-production unit.

Well I would not expect a startup to be aware of all the hiccups that can (and most likely will) occur. But I would expect that they adjusted their ETS (Estimated Time of Shipment) when they know it to not hold, and do so BEFORE the day of the previous ETS... Let me put it this way: If I should invite these guys home for dinner I would for sure not prepare a soufflé, but would wait to prepare the food to they had arrived.

Why? Do you participate in any poll on any site you are using? I don't. 😉

It would certainly make things easier for them. Or at the least some good drawings of the exterior.

Let me get this straight, is the only information you get on this topic the public available ones?

I meant something that went over the top and bottom, e.g. clear plastic strap, rubber band or elastic band. The Note 7 has fairly large top/bottom bezels. Many years ago, this was a common way to do flip-cases for pocket calculators and pocket multi-meters, so with a little luck it exists for the Note 7. Like the blue bands of this quick mockup

For a laugh go to the "Shop". The "Hard Case" is still there as "Coming soon"... 🙄

The bottom part has dimensions really close to a Samsung note 7 (153.5 x 73.9 x 7.9 mm) so I think I will try to find a leather case for that, and see what I can modify... ADD Or "Note FE", same dimensions

Tried with some thick paper (a ½mm thick booklet). And a case can actually grip over the entire ends, so this should be possible keeping the long edges free, so you can open the device by either pushing the front or lifting the back edge after your preferred operation mode. So I think a stiff bottom (e.g. leather) and 5mm black elastic bands on both sides of the keyboard would work.

Actually it COULD grip over the two back corners, some 20x20mm, as long as it is not more than some ½mm thick, worst case it would make the device ever so slightly thicker closed. So that could be a way to do it...

I split the part on magnetic cables into a new thread here
