Prototype case and Mainboard Assembly (small video)

No worries, they work fine. It's the exact same size as the top number row on the Pandora. And it's still bigger than the keys of most smartphones (like N900).
Looks great! Thanks for the look 
Works fine as long as your nameplate isn't metalic.
How about offering Pyras with custom laser engraving on that area?
For an additional charge, obviously.

I want mine engraved with a bloody kitchen knife, please.
Seriously if ED doesnt have a neat shiny Pyra Sticker for this position I would prefer nothing there since I have some nice stickers for myself which would fit there.

Thanks for the clarification. Still, the number row on the Pandy is pretty isolated. I guess the proof will be in the pudding...

A metal pin for example like used in the NDS for the trigger-hinges.

Nice video, your office looks sweet.
The case build quality was a bit flimsy, but it's great if it was made of white-chocolate

The one thing I've noticed about the Pandora, is that the case can be pretty slippery...
Is it possible that the Pyra case could have some kind of dimpled surface, so that it doesn't slip out of your hands?

Engraving is possible, but a sticker wouldn't be cool for me. Anything that stops you unscrewing the bottom and opening the case oughtn't be designed in.
@Fusion_Power If it turns out to be an issue, ED could sell replacement metal pivots that you could screw into place. But I still suspect that if you've applied enough pressure to break it via the external levers, you've probably damaged the PCB and other parts of the case.
Hows about having it so that the seam wiggles up (or down) around the sticker/engraving. then the sticker/engraving is only on one case piece.
Alternatively, ship a bunch of spare stickers with the device, or sell them cheaply in the shop. Maybe "Warranty void if not removed" or something.

Yeah, I wouldn't be against including a sticker in the box you could apply yourself, and the dimensions so that you can create your own unique sticker if you want.

You know, all of this talk about nameplates and stickers reminds me that the Pyra's going to be a product with a BOX.
I saw a lot of Pandora un-boxings, and the Pandora's Box is quite nice. Who is going to be designing the box? Who designed it last time?

The western Pandora box was fine, if a little 1990s in that it tried to tell prospective buyers everything it did even if they'd never heard of it before. I don't think anyone bought tech that way in the late 90s even - everyone reads reviews, or hears recommendations, or watches videos - you don't browse the shelves for tech.
The Japanese box (designed by TraylorPark, IIRC) had nice clean lines on the front, and only used the back for listing features and specs. I'd argue you don't even need the latter.

the frame on the inner lid will be removed to avoid damage to the display or touchscreen.
on the other hand: building frames on the inside of the case makes the case withstand force from handling it. supporting frames are welcome, I imagine.
look at underneath the keyboard piece of the case. a whole lot of cross-pieces / frames inside the case.
is it really necessary to remove the frame from the inner lid piece?

The frame on the lid bezel will be removed and instead the frame inside the lid will be built up. This should make the lid slightly more rigid and resistive of forces applied if anything.

Looks quite like a Pandora but sleeker and super turbo fighter powered.
