Have you thought about any kind of tilt mechanism?

yes, but there will be no tilt mechanism unfortunately

Just interested what kind of mechanism you came up with so I can add it to my Tohkbd if I get one, because its half of the reasons I am getting one.
I have few ideas but your might be better.

Changelog for the Base:

Looking good! The magnets definitely blew my mind :eek:

Other people have raised the concern of force dropping the phone off the keyboard. I used to hold the N900 pretty tight, but I got a real huge Mugen battery, which also made it firmer in your hand. If there's no physical protection against oops-I-didn't-see-you-because-I-turned-the-corner-running-while-you're-texting-sorry-was-that-your-phone I really hope it's possible to hold on to the phone tight ;)

The pricing question probably went already, but if it's as cool as it seems, it works and the magnets aren't a risk, you tell me where you want the 150 euros :D Would be nice if that would include a Finnish keyboard layout though!

PS.
Does the firmware on the back speak only keyboard, so no chance of having eg. OLED OHs with magnets? But how cool is it that we might some day get one, because this design is good and upgradeable :cool:

We'll see how firm it is connected with mockup2! (two weeks or so)

Yes, every current hardware application could clip on, but if you want an oled screen on the back then doing that with this base will be highly inefficient.

Also, made some more pics!

Base (that attaches to phone) will make the phone 2.2 mm thicker

Bottom is 5mm

how do I sign up for pre-order or at least put my name on a list for when its available? :)

btw, for those worried about the keyboard falling off - is there a way to put in some sliding gutters that hold it in place permanently and only lock when you slide it to the magnet positions? just an idea anyway. but that would mean the keyboard cannot be swapped with other keyboards or gamepads.

the gutter would be like curtain rails e.g. http://www.goelst.com/uploads/images.../6200/6200.jpg - see how the hooks are attached to the rails? they cannot be removed. but it would also make the other half cover thicker...
