Ponoko has acrylic in 1/8" and some 1/4" thicknesses that you can get laser-cut for fairly reasonable prices - IIRC, they just opened a bay-area cut/ship center to reduce shipping in the US (they're originally from New Zealand!). Looks like a typical project from 7"x7"x1/8" acrylic is around $10-

Hi Michael, This is a good start, very informative. Some good additions, I think, would be: * Why does computer/usb charging max out at 500mA? is that a limitation of the USB spec? * you mention 'other manufacturers' that 'identify their own chargers' with various resistors... if I

PDA Case that fits the Neo?

Has anyone tried putting their Neo into a PDA case? The Case Logic PLT-2 looks like it might fit the Neo and doulbe as a wallet at the same time :) I'm also considering the 12" skooba R.A.P.S. thing as a 'case' for my future Freerunner... Are there other suggestions? I think the Neo shipped with a

How about a case that's part metal and part plastic? Make it plastic just around the antennas (which, IIRC are at the 'ends' of the phone) and metal everywhere else? Heck, it could end up having a *good* effect by being extra shielding between the antennas and the (noisy) electronics of the p
