Thanks for the detailed pictures, I was thinking in bying, even if I have to say that the price, 10% of the FR more or less, seems very high; but there are two things I can see now and which IMHO are weak points: 1. it is only attached with a clip to the belt, and not with a loop; you may easy loose your lovely FR; If it used a loop you wouldn't be able to use it as a desk stand. I have used some very secure belt clips and some very poor ones, but couldn't judge them from a photo. 2. more important, the position of the FR is horizontal and not upright, not so good for GPS, I think; GPS is fine horizontal (more or less) on my handlebars, so I don't think that will be a problem. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Matthias, eres libre de hacerlo :) y me alegro que si mas no las fotos te hayan servido para tomar tu decision. you are free to do whatever you want and I'm happy the new pictures has helped to take your decision. Thanks for the detailed pictures, I was thinking in bying, even if I have to say that the price, 10% of the FR more or less, seems very high; but there are two things I can see now and which IMHO are weak points: 1. it is only attached with a clip to the belt, and not with a loop; you may easy loose your lovely FR; If it used a loop you wouldn't be able to use it as a desk stand. I have used some very secure belt clips and some very poor ones, but couldn't judge them from a photo. At the early beginning of the design phase, I have the same idea of using loops, I have had bad experiences too with some cases, they pop out of the belt on the run, but after test the belt clip we decide to not include them, I have carried the neo on one of the first prototipes of the case for now one month in various situations(running, sitting, even lay down in the sofa) and the belt clip has no intention of leave the belt :) 2. more important, the position of the FR is horizontal and not upright, not so good for GPS, I think; GPS is fine horizontal (more or less) on my handlebars, so I don't think that will be a problem I have done some light test too on gps and I don't find any lose of signal on putting on horizontal, but returning to the early design phase we do some try on vertical case but if we put the belt clip to high on the case has an ugly bouncing effect if you run(or walk quick enough), but if we down the belt clip then the neo was annoying when sitting, so we finally decide to do it as it is. Sure there people there more cleaver and with more expertise doing cases than us, but be sure this is an example were we are eating our own food and we try to do the case as comfortable and practical as we can by using them. And we have take care our specifications were clearly followed in any steps on production. This and the fact that we produce a very modest number of units (we have a modest number of Neo units out there as target)makes the final price is not as cheap as we all want maybe.
