This came up in another thread:

I think it would be great if there was a way of extending the Pandora without messing up its form factor or jamming in your pocket.


The idea was that they would allow those who want it to have GPS/broadcast radio/wireless dialup/whatever without:

  • putting the cost and manufacturing complexity up for everyone else
  • jettisoning pocketability


I have just tried holding

  1. a paper pandora at just under 14cm wide
  2. a paperback book at 18cm wide


The first of these felt great


The later was at what I would guess would be the absolute Maximum width for being able to reach the nubs at all well. (with long thumbs)


However, 2cm is Big for such a peripheral. Could someone with a Pandora try using it with extra width and report back. :) Please?


Is it useable at 15mm on each side extra, 10mm? 7mm? 5mm?
