Yup all hand-made (with care and hand-tested three times each of course). The glue actually isn't necessary, but I found with repeated use because they're not injection-molded covers the glue just helps give it a bit more strength so the cover doesn't "pop off" over time. Like most of the N8x0 stuff I do, there's a really cool market here for people that are into tablets, but beyond that as we've all seen there isn't a huge base for some of these things, so finding pre-made products is extremely difficult and I usually end up modd-ing or building from scratch. Some things (like the OTGs) make sense to get produced, but the costs are high and demand has to be equally so; I'm more in that "gray area" market... where the demand is more than just a one-off thing, but less than required to justify a huge production run.

Can't say I'm surprised about Nokia saying no to this one, as their focus really tends to be in other areas (If you could use the adapter with every Nokia phone out there I'm sure their reaction would be different). This is one of the great points about the ITT community though... we all kind of help fill the gaps that Nokia leaves open. Helps to Nokia in the end because they get the benefits of having the problems taken care of without having to invest in it, and helps the community by showing that there's room for others to get involved realistically at a business level rather than just a personal level also. (At least that's my hope... though if Nokia does something like bundle their own OTG adapter with the next tablet I'll be disappointed!)
