Old news story about them
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/in_depth/sci_tech/2000/dot_life/2326077.stm
Instead it uses low-cost semiconductor-based sensors. Mr Spare says this means the company can sell the technology to the manufacturers of mobile devices for about $35. He expects it to be available in the first half of 2003.

HAHAHA Its now 2004 and the the retail costs is nearly $200 typical

As i said in a previous post, these are so new the manufacturer hasnt started selling them yet!! they appear to be research and development units. buy one if you like but if you need service or tech support you will be in deep s**t.
here is the link to the manufacturers web site

They are actually already available in the UK from http://www.internity.co.uk/vkb.asp. They are £105 inc VAT and P&P.
I have had mine for over a week and it works like a charm with my Himalaya.

The Pilgrim

Speck:
I JUST BOUGHT THIS SNAZZY NEW ______, AND NOTICED YOU DON'T MAKE A CASE FOR IT YET. HOW CAN I FIND OUT WHEN YOU'RE RELEASING NEW CASES?
We’d love to be able to give you a definite answer, but the truth is, we don’t always know ourselves. Believe us on this: we’re busily turning out tons of super-sweet new cases, bags and sleeves just as fast as our little hands can turn. But if we gave you definite release dates and for whatever reason they didn’t turn out to be dead-on, well, then, you might be sad. And we don’t want you to be sad. So we ask that hang on, sign up for e-mail newsletter on the bottom right corner of our website and be patient. We’ll let you know, we promise!

They are all busy modifying their production for iPad cases... It's a shame that the Xoom evokes so little confidence in the accessory market I absolutely love it but I don't expect there will be any kind of, let's say car stereo, with Android connectivity (but maybe there already is; I never checked).
Either way, I will most likely buy the Motorola keyboard and patch together my own leather case with keyboard compartment... As we say in German: "Selbst ist der Mann!"

Anyone checked with Seidio?

Macally and Incase are Apple lovers but make great products. Too bad but not surprising.
Incepio it is. Crossing fingers for Seidio.

I asked seido, their response was that they may but need to see sales and interest. They are a very responsive company probably good if a bunch of us post our requests on their facebook page to show interest.

It appears that Vaja Cases may be doing one. They're on the expensive side but make high quality cases. I'd had several over the years.

The Leather Agenda 2 made for the Xoom is just what i'm looking for!

It seems they are only making cases for lemmings.

I emailed an ipad case company called switcheasy. they make awesome cases and sleeves. This is what they said
That is a great question! Our design and development team is always busy
working on new products and releases. Since your interests are very
important to us,
we will forward this information to them for future releases.
If the dimensions similar to the ipad or ipad2, it may fit in one of
our sleeves... Ribcage and Trig. We can't promise, for our cases were
made specifically for apple products.
So my question is, has anyone tried to see if the xoom fits in ipad sleeves?

Yea, I have an encase sleeve I grabbed. It is made for the iPad. It fits fine, but the length of the XOOM is a bit more then the iPad, so it is a tight fit at the zipper. Width the XOOM is not as wide as the iPad so no issues there.
If it is a flexible sleeve, I think you're fine. If it is rigid at all, I think it could be tricky.

Great News! Gelaskins Coming to the Galaxy S II!

Just contacted GelaSkins to enquire about the S II, and they replied with this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hi Potatoman
Thank you for your email! The Galaxy S II is definitely on our list of devices to skin, but I'm afraid that we do not have a release date scheduled yet. Stay tuned!
Elizabeth Czetyrbok | GelaSkins Inc.
Check us out on Facebook and Twitter!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shame the release date isn't set yet, but good news nonetheless! Personally I find them to be some of the most unique skins (I use the Neo New York one for my laptop ) and they do a great job of protecting the device. Thought I'd put this up here in case anyone was holding off on buying a skin until something new came around, I avoided the gel ones because I find them a bit plain and boring.

Yeah, I like them too, they look great!

Indeed! I dunno, but for a phone that had 3 million preorders, I like these skins because they make my phone feel unique sue me, I like being a snowflake ^_^

Not sure how well they would look with the textured back on the SGS2. We shall see

You can also upload your own disign and they will fabricate it for you!

no directly links to advertise please
it's okay to link to ebay/amazon and other such market places, but direct links to the manufacture or distributor websites are not allowed, unless a Marketing deal has been made with XDA Admins

Apologies, I wasnt aware, i just saw other threads discussing it and assumed the rule referred to official advertising.
As for the textured back, I don't think it will matter, my laptop one is pretty thick anyway so it should smooth it out. My laptop isnt AS textured as the SGS2, but it flattens this backplate out quite nicely, so we'll see i guess.

amagad how long should we wait ((( don't they know that our devices will be delivered soon (many have already got it)

I think they will release once it is out in the US, since they are a US company. I've bought a cheap case off ebay for £4 to protect the phone until gelaskins release them :3

by the way, there is an alternative - ZAGGskins. does anybody know if they are planning to make skins for our device too?

Great idea... i cant wait until they have the template ready

Hopefully, when SGS2 sells like hotcakes, manufacturers will start churning out cases and protectors like no-ones business

This is the first time I've heard of Gelaskins. I looked them up and their skins look amazing! Looking forward to their release of skins for the SGS2.
EDIT: Just received news from Gelaskins that the skins for the SGS2 should be up on the site on Monday or Tuesday!

SGS2 Skins now available

Thanks for the heads up

Brilliant
Just ordered mine

For some reason, my card isnt getting accepted. Well Ill try later I guess

I'm gonna order mine tonight i think... some great looking skins on their

Just a thought!!!!
Would the skin not interfere with the touch keys at the bottom?

**NOW SHIPPING** Case-Mate Barely There Brushed Aluminum case

Just thought there should be a thread dedicated to this sick case being that it seems the only one to me with the most promise (quality look to compliment the thin design + good history). I'll keep this updated up to the availability of the Brushed Aluminum Barely There case. google searching brought me to Tessco.com which has it for $40.00 but no pictures to confirm its existence. anyone gonna take a dive for it?
i would post a link but i'm on a new account under moderator url restrictions. i google'd "barely there epic touch 4g"
UPDATE: uplifted my restrictions (thanks mod)
and the preorder $20, expected availability 10/31 (silver) ***CAUTION: THERE HAVE BEEN NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FROM PPL WHO PREORDERED THEIR CASE FROM theaccessoryking.com***
http://www.theaccessoryking.com/cas...ch-4g-case-mate-barely-there-case-silver.html
another preorder emerged for $20, expected availability 10/31 (black)
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28553
I throw my support in with kain144000 for the Case-Mate Barely There Aluminum case w/ KICKSTAND (!!!!) and suggest that you all do as well since its basically the same case, except the kickstand, of course.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1283583
Edit 2: MOBILECITYONLINE IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING PREORDERS because it is already on the market, obviously

appreciate it as this is the case i more than likely will get

np. feel free to hit the "thanks" button
theaccessoryking.com has it for preorder $20.00, pretty sketchy but it gives us an expected release date: 9/29

Out of all the cases I've had for my Inspire, the Case Mate Tough was by far the best. Can't wait for their e4gt cases.
The TPU will tide me over for now, it's actually a pretty good case but I feel safer with a hard shell. Probably going to return my Samsung kickstand one to Sprint.. it's not a very good design.
Transmission sent from a Galaxy S II.

Is there anywhere we can give an 'un-thank' up in here?

FWIW (its probably a standard email)
I received this email after inquiring about the case. I didn't particularly like the "or if" part.

I emailed support to ask with a link to the item listed. Like I said in another thread, it looks like the kind of site that sells to 3rd party vendors, and since the packaging says Sprint branded, I suspect this is meant for non-corporate Sprint stores.
Obviously no real confirmation, but I will post any kind of non-generic answer I get.

i figured the same, but if thats the case (haha). maybe we can pool a couple orders together and save a buck or two? that is, if they do bulk orders
UPDATE: i registrared and their expected availability is 10/04, most likely that will be when case-mate decides to put it up on their site and it starts showing up everywhere. that $20 pre order is starting to look pretty tasty

How much wait and thickness will this case add?
Love the idea of the case. But the lightness of this phone is one of its biggest pluses.
Really, really like the idea of this case though.

it'll add about 1.5 oz (not sure how noticeable that may be, but it should bump it up to the weight of the MoPho) its stream-lined fitted, snaps on snug and is pretty durable for its thinness. i wanna say its thinner than the tpu case, not sure tho. but i know for a fact its one of the thinnest cases you can get hence the name "barely there"

Some people claim this case interferes with GPS reception. =/

Are you saying theaccessoryking.com is a sketchy seller? Or that you aren't a fan of preorder in general? Or sketchy putting money down sight unseen?
I am fine getting a little extra discount in exchange for patience...
...I'm not fine sending a sketchy seller my money.
Is theaccessoryking a reputable seller?

just got a response from Case Mate indicating that the vendor from the link is legit and that the product is real (ie model number, device, etc.) they did not indicate anything on the date however...

Just preordered my casemate tough from theaccessoryking.com for $21. I love the barely there cases but certainly not in silver, which is the only option available on that site.

What i found sketchy was that it didn't exist anywhere else, not even Case-Mate verified it. I'm fine with preorder (i preordered my ET4g) its just that i did a preorder on a case once before (not from accessoryking) and it never came into stock. But i hope this doesnt scare anyone bc they didnt take my money or anything they just messed with me and gave me false hope >.>
especially after diaa08 confirmed that its live (at least i believe s/he was referring to this link) i would jump on it, its quite the deal
