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.

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.

Hi Martin
I was obviously wrong with my other posts . if you follow my link you can see where i was coming from.
Appologies to all.
The Pilgrim
PS i just ordered one of ebay :lol:
Pilgrim, would be very interested to learn of your experience with this keyboard, I look forward to it.
Any reviews? Seems good
Hey why don't we have one???
I recently found someone on this site that got a Jam from me. I would rather give the great XDA-Developers.com members a chance before trying to sell it on eBay.
I totally agree!
Me too. I've had a lot of help from this site, and have recommended it to friends who also have found it very useful. I posted this a couple of days ago:
"I know that this is not a selling forum, but I've had a lot of help over quite a long time from this site so would like to help out fellow members if I can. If this is not acceptable to the moderators I'm sorry, but here goes:
I've got an XDA2 that has been dropped. The screen is fine, but it's permanently locked into "Calendar" mode and cycles through all the calendar views and options. In all other ways it is in very good condition. It receives and makes calls, and all the functions are available, but I can't always turn it off. It's boxed and complete with cradle, charger, earphones, case, software, manuals, etc., and I'm sure that someone with a bit more time than me could make use of it. It's not stolen, or from any other dubious source - I've upgraded and just don't have the time at the moment - I wish I did, but that's the way it goes".
I think that the whole XDA-developers community could benefit if, for instance, the seller donated, let's say, 10% of the agreed selling price to the site. I think that's fair and gives XDA-developer members the chance to benefit rather than the auction sites. I looked at eBay in order to sell the item I've mentioned above, and I'm new to Ebay, but it looks over-complicated for what I want to do with an item that I know is faulty.
There may be other issues that might make things difficult, but if people are honest in their descriptions I don't see a big problem. Caveat emptor - let the buyer beware - if you're not happy about something, don't do it.
I think there's room for discussion on this matter.
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?
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.

dang. that is very contradictory to the details we have found. maybe CS is just holding out on us? some companys like to keep their info to themselves until the item is officially released

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

the complaints i see are for the HTC Inspire/Desire and it wasnt just for the barely there, they had it for ALL cases but if there is a problem, from the threads i read you can complain to Case-Mate and they'll send you complimentary cases you could try or just sell and buy another case

Hmm their site seems to have a pretty big selection actually. What phone do you have?
Good website. I've ordered a couple accessories from there.
I have checked the cases for iPhone 4s. They seem to be good in quality but the style is not my taste.
Good website, the next time I buy something, i can go.if U want to find more choices, check out Tinydeal,if you are lucky enough, you can use the Coupon Code 2O3749A9Q5 to get 5% off.I have bought a lot things in the TinyDeal, its very good.:highfive:
