Now you have complicated it to the point that I may lose track what I'm asking about Seriously though, I had no idea how 5s and 5c egdes look like, and had to google for it. Now, google will bubble me as iPhone user. Oh well.

Even more seriously, reality is that I was asking mostly about what Mentalist thinks *now* that I was asking about = surface. But, answers about edges got considered too - from practical tests, flat ones with just (very) little curvature works best for stable grip during typical N900 activities (like, playing "throw N900"... No, just plain writing and browsing, even gaming), and makes it more stable with kickstand extended. So, sounds like all-winner - the more I'm glad, that most people prefer it visually, too.

From department update - circular shield for camera cover got scrapped, because I'm and idiot and for all those months of test driving usage, I haven't noticed that - when having camera opened - it leaves dust/dirt friendly opening (aka hole) in slider area (it probably don't make much sense without actually holding unit in hand, but trust me [tm] that it was wrong). Well, believe or not, but I noticed it only during light-leakage tests (normally used to notice areas with some imperfections, requiring to apply precise backslash on CNC machine itself) - instead of searching for "bleeding light" I got blinded by lamp through magnificent hole. Erm...

Fear not, though, as it's not going to introduce any delays - I got alternate project and prototype for camera cover (slider, just better - IMO - than in original cover), due to other problems with rotary shield. So, no big deal.

I just can't wait to show you guys photos of alpha with kickstand (polishing results a little, making it thicker) - it makes writing on desk-placed N900's hardware keyboard true option, finally, not to mention making it better to use with external ones connected, as we don't have that awkward low-angle, anymore. I know, small things, but I really love improved kickstand. If you're like me on that department, you're gonna be happy penguin, soon
