    There may be other sources available than China.... ?

    Canvas enjoys pretty minimal carbon footprint... Wind conditions might impact delivery, tho... lol

    We occasionally use DHL, etc for smaller items to/from that side of the globe.... fwiw.

    . I have spent too much time, energy and money to not pursue production of this. Stay tuned.

    Hope your still looking to do a kickstarter so you can better gauge sales before production....

    And that your "minimum" is more realistic, especially with two designs.

    Haha, note I never explicitly said China... This part is likely from somewhere else.

    Kickstarter is still the plan at the moment.

    Plan is to first do the vertical and then the horizontal design.

    Great. You can count me in as well - for both designs. Having a decent universal PKB attachment probably best solves the needs of many here.

    Oh I expect most are hoping the OM devices is their answer..... but in the end I'm thinking it will be good to have this option, as I'm not sure if OM is going to delivery on those hopes. And with KEYdevices aging, some option is better than no option.

    Can't wait!

    I'm still not sure how it would look since you said it's gonna be one single case that can fit various slabs, but it is a sliding case right? Not a case that adds a permanent keyboard below the screen like the Typo for iPhone cases?
    Meaning when the case is closed, it simply looks like a thicker slab, and when open, it looks like a Priv?

    That may very well be for the moment. But given the business focus for this phone (if it ever comes out), chances are pretty fair that OM's device won't be the answer for many in the end.

    A universal and well affordable keyboard attachment on the other hand is just that: universal. It should fit most phones from entry level to flagship, what in my opinion is the most interesting thing about it.

    Now of course it should provide a good typing experience. But I suppose a real PKB lover will have a hard time finding a PKB that is so bad that he/she would rather use a VKB instead.

    I actually have tried a PKB that offered a worse overall typing experience than glass: Typo gen 2 keyboard case for iPhone 5S/6.
    Terrible sculpting on those keys and no chin made for an unbalanced typing experience with more typos than a VKB...

    For me to say that a PKB has been worse than a VKB is really saying something.

    I'm confident SES's product will be better than any of the Typo products, he has been open to our input about balance, weight distribution, etc

    It is a sliding attachment, you'll see what it looks like when the design is released...

    I sure hope no one attempts to shelve you and your idea by claiming they want to purchase it.

    Hey SES,
    any new estimates on the time schedule for your PKB project? Would love to see some first shots of the design.

    Just been busy w/patents and getting pricing for stuff. Unfortunately I can't show the designs since it would cause issues with the patent process. Please be patient.
