Case Improvements and the keymat

[Jan-Nik]

I often wondered then... How does the GPD Pocket "work" then? That has an aluminium body and no obvious plastic wi-fi spots (though it's been a while since i last took out my pocket to check)

My guess would be: The keyboard holes.

My experience is full metal body is more problematic for mobile networks, wifi works just fine.

what if there were a flip up antenna designed for better reception as to outweigh the cons of using an external, extendable antenna?

Or we could make the entire case out of the same rubber that superballs are made from! That way if I accidentally drop my Pyra, it just bounces right back up into my hands! No damage, and I don't even have to bend over to pick it up! Also I get to practice my reflexes!

OR
We could drop the whole "pocket" thing altogether, and make it portable in an entirely different way! Like, lets make the Pyra into a baseball cap, with a flip-down screen that flips down from the bill of the cap, with a removable keyboard/nub/input area that we could just hold in our hands and store up our sleeves.

As a bonus, the flip-down screen in the bill would force people to wear the hat in the correct orientation and cut down on the douchy-teenager factor!

Foldable screens are already in the market, case can be flexible rubber, only PCB needs to be made of rubber and it will be entirely flexible.

Wait a minute, how you will press the keys, then ?

Using rubber gloves?

Sounds like a ZX Spectrum

on a hard surface.

Though I’d rather not have a Melting Clock version of the Pyra thank you very much.

Copying to the relevant news thread:

Obligatory monthly update request post

 

[DrHAX]

Not bi-monthly?

Yes, I have some news, but might want to present them as a video mostly.

 

[sleepy]

I have some concerns about the black case, any chance this will the mattest & blackest colour scheme available?

That sounds like some good news

As long he dosnt show the crashed packages whit the Case Parts and the USB Stick whit the Case Files thats also destroyd..
But i like his Vidoes, sadly there wherend that much Pyra Videos compared to the Pandora (One Video Per Day)..

compared to the Pandora (One Video Per Day).

That's serious dedication! Assume circumstances are a little different now.

Yes, I wasn't the one handling the production back then, so I couldn't do anything but post videos
I also didn't have a wife / girlfriend back then, so I could work a lot more on these...

Now that I have to do EVERYTHING myself, I'm focussing on the more important things first, and that's kicking asses of the companies

Also on Pandora, i can remember that Craig also made lots of Videos, like the Iconic Fox Fur Hat Video in Winter to show that the Pandora is Prepared when Winter is coming ^^, and the blockbuster Aktion Scene where Craig fell off his roof..

But User Made Videos are now more common than back in the Time of the Pandora, so i suspect lots of Videos from Users..

As much as I really dislike how Craig mismanaged the Pandora, and the IControlPad2, I really enjoyed his wacky videos!

This is what really puts it into perspective for me. You got a girlfriend and then got married and she's still with you! So much devotion everywhere!
