Dear Christopher and the rest of the community.
Thanks for your appreciation. Those of you who have been on this list
for a long time will remember that this came up a number of times. It
was only recently that we were finally able to come to some kind of a
conclusion and release the CAD files.
While we are committed to applying open source principles to as much
of our process and information as possible, deciding what should be
made public and what needs to be kept within the company is an ongoing
experiment. We are in uncharted territory here and we're not sure
where each step leads.
Since you all are part of this experiment, we are extremely interested
in knowing what you will do with these files. Alternative appearances?
Different colors, textures, shapes? Customizing to particular
applications? Expansion? Designing the hardware into other items?
Things I would like to do with CAD files & case after getting Neo
FreeRunner:
- I don't care about color, as long as I can get black and/or silver
- Elongate case to allow for removable expansion modules
- experiment with I2C
- try to get/help build easily removable/reversible camera module (I
can't have a camera at work)
- play with an AVC-LAN & OBD2 CAN module
- look into VGA out expansion module that allows for composite sync
- Try to trim down the size of the casing if it doesn't fit well in my
pocket
I would be interested in making a case to meet my personal wishes and
share it with others. If FIC had a black case that provided for
expansion modules I would save myself the work & get it from them.
Help us understand the outcome of this experiment by continuing to
provide us with feedback. I read all of your comments, and I do bring
them back to the company.
Sincerely,
Michael

Today I noticed a change that OM has released their CAD files for the
case of the GTA01, This opens a major door to Case modding. I guess
im used to closed hardware and tight-liped companies, but i was
supprised. I will never again own a closed phone.
