Hi is their a silver XDA Thumbpad avaliable on the market or third party?
Not sure about silver, but I have the black one and it's quite nice (good key-feel etc), but totally unusable becuase of simple bad design. An extra row of 'special function' (read: semi-useless) keys should be put somewhere out of the way, not between the spacebar and the zxcvbnm row.
As a suitable punishment, whoever designed the layout of these keys should be bodily attached with extra-strength superglue to the person at Compaq who decided to ship keyboards with the space bar split into two, one half working as a backspace key.
hahaha
I couldn't agree more!
I have a black one, and it is certainly slower to use than most thumb keyboards I've had in the past, partly because of those 'special keys' being in a daft spot.
..that coupled with the fact my 'Fn' (like a shift) keeps getting flipped on when I type fast, and sometimes won't turn off until I reset my XDA, since the keyboard driver 'goes to lunch'. Anyone else seen this? (my driver is G3B0 v1.28 build 1127)
..lance
hes on about the silver round 5 way button guys not a clip on keybaord!
Oh, in that case, no idea!
Anybody looked into customising this little round widget?
It would be nice to be able to replace it with a homebrew one that was actually ergonomic. I.e. good for games
Can some one post some pictures of the Thumbpad connected with the O2 XDA i need to see how it looks like before i purchase :idea:
anyone want to sell me a thumbpad?
even after all the bad reviews of the thumbpads, I still would mind trying one out. (if they work with the XDA2, different body shape to the XDA1??) I know I'll probably regret the purchase like everyone else but is anyone wanting to offload a thumbpad cheap? incidentally I bought a Pocket Top IR keyboard but apparently there isn't a driver for the XDA2.
Cheers
I love the XDA II Thumb Keyboard, it's awesome!

today i see a great product. a side flip leather case with bt keyboard inside,
it is design for hd2 specially. the keyboard cannot be taken out n use mini usb to charge
i think this will be super for my leo!!
however i still get a hold on it because
1. its a bit heavy when i put my leo inside
2. the leather case is very old fashion
3. it is a bit expensive @hkd400
i hope more manufacturer will use this idea to make more similar product
any photos?
If this is not a joke, could you please post a link? That would be great...
Link please?

Closest I found so far:

'Ultra-slim Credit Card-Sized Bluetooth Keyboard
"Similar to the Freedom Mini Bluetooth keyboard, this Freedom Slim keyboard lets you add qwerty input to non-qwerty phones—the iPhone, perhaps?
The keyboard itself has Moto RAZR-ish design, including blue or orange backlight and magnetic pads to go with its included case. It's good for 4 hours of use and 100 hours standby and can be recharged via mini USB. May not be useful for most people, but great for those who do a lot of texting." Via Gizmodo.

A kickstand would be perfect.
The question is where can I buy one?

I love the idea of the keyboard intergrated into the case. Well done to KDenilson for finding the link. I've e-mailed the company for cost/ordering info. I'll post the info once I hear back if someone hasn't already done so.

this case/keyboard combo would be great. I'm very interested in this. Let us know if you get a reply back about ordering information. I'm already missing my touch pro qwerty, but love the screen size on this hd2. this case, keyboard combo would be the perfect solution. I just hope it won't hurt battery life too much.
Cool idea. Reminds me of my old Athena with the magnetic keyboard.
Hello all... I'm new to this forum but have found it quite helpful in my quest to optimize and get every bit of juice out of my HD2. I have looked through so many posts trying to find information on stands as I have just purchased my apple bluetooth keyboard for use as a note taking device at school. I was going to buy another eeepc after I sold mine, but realized that with the keyboard this baby is actually quite powerful enough to be a baby computer at school. A lot of the stands seem really cool but I was wondering if anyone had found or figured out a way to modify a stand that could securely clip onto the space at the top of the apple keyboard.
Attached is a link to an image of the keyboard to give you an idea of what I'm working with. Seems the space at the top is about an inch. As I can't seem to find one I can buy yet, I've been trying to think of ways I could create a clip on from one of the stands like the smart stand but thought I'd throw this out to you guys for some ideas as I'm not getting very far. Sorry if this has been covered before, but I did do a lot of searching and didn't seem to find anything like this in particular so thought I'd post.
And, btw, I'm Elle. Nice to meet you guys.
Cool idea...let us know if you figure something out.
The whole concept just sounds strange to me. Using a small phone with a massive keyboard just to do some notes. Granted both devices are beautiful but working them both together, er no.
However each to their own and all. I can't think of a way to attach them together which wouldn't inherently ruin either the phone or keyoard but what I'd do if I was so inclined to use them both together, would be maybe buy the extended battery with kickstand and then use it like the image below (obviously you wouldn't need to lean your phone against the wall with the kickstand ).
I fail to see why the HD2 needs to be attached to the keyboard in the first place .
Update - my girlfriend has suggested you just use a bit of blu-tac lol.
That's what I've been doing, just without an appropriate stand but a self-created one. It's actually a rather cool setup; this is the smaller version of the keyboard and it decreases the weight I carry around immensely. The keyboard syncs wonderfully, I just thought it might be cool if there was a way to attach it to the keyboard. I'll let you guys know if I figure anything out specifically, there seems to be some interesting ways to manufacture a simple clip on that I'm figuring out the details for at the moment.
Did you ever figure out a simple stand? I just bought one of these keyboards. and it paired perfectly and all the keys work, except the specialized function keys.
Compared to other available bluetooth keyboards (Stowaway, Freedom, etc.), this one is probably overall less space (by volume) and lighter.
Cheers
Capdase stand
hi. Just to let you know that this stand actually works.
Alright, ignoring the iPhone (it sux anyways. ), the translucent stand thats holding the phone actually fits the hd2. Not only that, I have the silicon casing around the hd2 and the stand still fits! Of course, it stretches as the iphone is of a smaller width. How do i know? I tested my bro's stand and it has been with me since. Lets just say that the holder was no longer meant for the iphone due to the bigger hd2. I.e. Its mine!
P.s It goes horizontal and vertical.
There's a couple of threads on make-your-own stands My favourite is the credit-card one, which you then fold out whenever you need it. Keep it in your wallet/as part of your phone case and you're there!

Old thread, but anyway the extended battery with it's kickstand would do this amazingly
Hey everybody!
I go by Tactus Texas over at notioninkhacks.com and I am an electronics manufacturer and an Adam enthusiast. I have the capability to produce cases with my manufacturing partners but I want to get the communities input first before I take anything to production.
What do you want in a case for your Adam? My current idea is that of a "second skin" a thin and light hard case that will be always on your adam and will cover everything while leaving access to ports, the camera, and the display/buttons. I want to be clear your input is going towards a real product that I hope to bring to market within the next few weeks provided we manage to get Notions blessing to go ahead.
Chime in and have your say as to what it should be, if anything, this project will only happen with community support!
- TactusTexas
If you interested in being put on this list to be notified when pre orders start go to the notion ink hacks website and look under the accessory section and submit your information!
I'm expecting my NI very soon and as a casing I think I would opt for something of a hard leather casing I could fold open as a book, interface ports available of course and easy to slide out to show of in full and home usage.
two types of cases i really enjoy are:
1. leather case that can be used as a stand too like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Acoustics-IC-1000BK-Leather-Cover/dp/B0042BVSF4/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1295661437&sr=8-7
if you could make a magnetic strip that run from top to bottom or left to right to latch it close that would be fantastic
2. Or a soft gel like this one
http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Argyle-Gloss-Samsung-Google/dp/B004FPZBSC/ref=sr_1_35?ie=UTF8&qid=1295661879&sr=8-35
hate the hard shell pastic cases.
whatever the skin, it should be thin and easy to grip
I like the leather case idea with folding cover like a book. I also like the hard case idea. I currently have a seidio rugged case on my incredible, I like the protection a hard case provides. Maybe a hard case with a leather folding cover. Put me on the pre-order list please.
edit: meant to write "pre-order list" not "protest list", damn auto-correct

I want a leather case that will hold a keyboard or a pocket for a small foldable bluetooth keybard.
Hey guys, sorry for my absence here I've been around on NIH and Notion Addicts working with the community on the case! We are now preparing our first prototypes, we weren't able to go with leather (right away) but we are working on solutions for that as well! You can expect to see some shots of it by the end of the week I think you guys will definitely like it!
We will also be producing color strips here very shortly!
Love the idea and agree with what you want. I would add some protection for the camera though. Maybe a Velcro strap or strip that can be removed or folded back.

Hey guys,
Tactus Texas here with more good news today on the Project Stealth front! So many people have been asking when is it coming, what does it look like etc and while I can't answer all your questions I can at the very least tell you guys that we are working at full steam to get this done for everyone. Starting a new project of this scale is hard work but those of us here at NIH and our manufacturing partners are working very quickly to get things ready. We took a slight change in our internal goals for the product, we want it to be as sleek and stylish as possible but our secondary goal is to make it as rugged as possible.
With this in mind you will see a final design that cradles your adam in a soft silicon but surounds it in a very hard plastic so you get shock absorption and a sturdy exterior to defend against the bumps and bruises of every day life. You will also have the option of using a removable screen cover that you can clip to the front of the device with ease as you throw it into a bag without worrying that your screen won't come out the other side. You can also expect a great integrated kickstand as well!
In short we are doing everything we can to get this product to our fellow adamites as we've been called as soon as possible. You can expect to see official renders here at NIH and you can rest assured you will be able to see review units in the hands of your favorite Notion fan sites before you have to bite the bullet and pull the trigger on an order.
Stay tuned, more info will begin to come in at a faster rate, also stay tuned for Project Stealth to evolve into a line of Notion Ink products to cover all of your needs to make this great device even better.
Thanks everyone, keep spreading the word, it is the community that will decide if we go to full production!

On a secondary note how would you guys feel about an extended battery as well? And also any particular favorites for color strips?

If the thing really lasts 10+ hours, I don't see my self wanting to carry around the extra weight of an extended battery (at least not directly in a case).

Thats one of the things we have tried to take into consideration, we do think that there are power users who are planning to use this device in an outdoor environment for long periods of time without access to a charge, that's what we are going for on creating an extended battery solution. We do know that option won't appeal to many users so we are keeping that as an R&D for now. For now what we are working on wont actually be integrated into a case, it would ship as an extension for the existing battery compartment but in a way that wouldn't disrupt the unique grip of the adam.
I appreciate all the feedback here and around the web so keep it coming, we really are listening!
I would like a leather case. with a folding design that acts as a stand. and an integrated bluetooth keyboard. Ive seen this design before for an ipad in Brookstones gadget store in my local mall.
Hey number01pup, we won't be launching with leather or keyboard at launch but rest assured we are working on it! I hope to be able to announce something on that front in the coming month. If not leather a keyboard equipped case is definitely in the works.
charger/extra battery for adam
I would be interested in this kind of charger/extra battery, which would store electricity into normal AA cells. Solar panel would be nice too since I like to take my laptop with me when I go cycling for longer trips.
Unfortunately I can't post a link here because I'm a new user but if you add the www and the dots this is what the url looks like:
mark-ju net/bike_ride/equipment/charger htm
Does anyone know if such products are commercially available?
It would be ideal for my adam.
Battery life
people over at notionaddicts are not reporting anything near 10 hours of battery life. So extended or better quality batteries might be in demand.
Hate the hard shell cases. Something with leather would be good.
Some color or texture that you can use in the sun.
I know that right now most of you do not have this problem, but this summer you will. Flat black, or shiny, in the sun gets hotter than he__! Just today in Florida after an hour I could barely hold my Lenovo/Pixel Qi netbook and could not even think about using the touch pad.
Hey there, I have massive clunky fingers and use my mobile for much coding on the move. I miss the old days of hardware keyboards and I'm not ready or willing to loose root to get the blackberry.
I have noticed many nice bluetooth slider cases for older mobiles like galaxy s4 or even iphone 4/5/6 but none for the s6 edge.
I noticed samsung released a nice one for the edge plus but I cannot find it for the standard s6 edge.
I'm looking for either a case that slides a keyboard from the bottom like the htc blueangel/priv. Or at the very least slides from the side.
I dont want a leather case with seperate keyboard or fold close keyboard as I like my screen and fear for scratches.
Any help either with instructions to make a case or places to buy would be brilliant.
Thank you

This seems really good, www.slimtype.com it's only available in the US at the moment but I have contacted them and they are due to release here sometime this year. If you know somebody there, you could get them to order it for you.

Ahh, Looks brilliant. I was scared to use flip covers but this looks like it will protect the screen more than the generic plasic clunky brands. Thank you muchly. This is the reason I should invest in a us forwarding address.
I'll order and post review
Thanks again
