Hi dirkvl. I'm about to select component colors and was wondering what material the wood finishes are made of. Are they a synthetic wood? A wood veneer with gloss coating? Something else? Thanks!
Now that the campaign is over, any opinion on this?
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...75#post1445775
So what the signature is like? I would have liked some pictures. Can I choose what the signature is? Info on this would be nice.
As I understand it, a white base material with coloured/painted top-coating is used (probably with the exception of the alumide selection where the base material is mixed with aluminium powder and thus of homogeneous colour and unpainted). correct
I am looking for a product with as good finish as possible. Therefore, I see a risk with a painted surface prone to scratching or peeling. And with a base material in contrasting colour the wear and tear might soon be very visible. yes, but you can order the casings separately later on if you want to replace it
Given this I think the polished white option is the safest bet but it is quite boring. Alumide would be another alternative but all alumide products I have seen so far has had a very rough, uneven, surface texture. we use polished alumide, which actually has a very smooth and metallic surface

Do you have a link where the various layouts are displayed in detail, with a clear link to the choices to make in the Kickstarter survey? I would like to be sure I choose the right one!
You probably want people to choose the right one from the start too, or there will be a lot of administration, so perhaps the survey should have links to the images of each layout.
One more question in regards to the wood backplate. What kind of finish does it have? Is it a polymer coating of something like that or the wood with no coating? Thanks!
