But I'd still say that rubber coating is better than glass surface. For example my Oneplus X (w/ Sailfish), both sides of the phone feel like glass. You can use the phone as a spirit level; if the surface isn't completely even, the phone will slide and fall downThe phone is way too slippery and only usable with rubber covers.
And if you make a protecting cover like Otterbox for n900, it will greatly increase the thickness of the device so it won't fit to any pocket anymore...
Re: an otterbox style case for the Pro1. Even with the extra bulk, I think I'd like to have something that protective. It saved my N900 several times. And I had the jeans with an N900 shaped wear patch to show for it.

Yes that is the light leak issue Elephone have. Or more precisely, the screen module's problem.

But we decided to try to fix it. The process is not the easiest as we are not involved in the manufacturing of the screen module but we managed to make it to the way it should look like. And then a series of verification and reliability test needs to be performed again.

If using special paint which can hold high temp and humid, the process itself needs high temp and can damage the display. It's certainly not as easy as that.

Hey Chen!
Could you disclose the name of the technique used to make the new back surface more grippy?
I have clearly generalized too much yesterday when i stumbled over the term soft-grip used by NY attendees.
.
Now after a night of research i realize there are gazillions of material combinations and techniques to give a surface more grip and just the public/marketing reduces all to one term.
My gripe seems to be with bad and/or cheap mixtures of Styrene Ethylene Butylene Styrene SEBS used in the early days and in low end products nowadays.
Only the name would be enough so i can research further for myself. Thank you!
EDIT, Is there any image where we can see the new back? The NY attendees understandably concentrated on the front and i did not see a picture of the new back surface.

Hi,
I'm an little concerned about this "Light leaking issue": It does not affect useability or longevitiy in any way, but you invested time and money to modify a component, that could have been bought and used off the shelf?

and these extra costs will be added to non-preorder buyers price (that's why we still don't know the price lol)! brilliant.
It's not your decision what is part of development of the product. Yours is only to decide if you can agree with the contract offered.

using a screen protector is same level as using TV remote control inside a plastic bag. how come in the era of Nokia N95 (which had bare LCD without any plastic over it) nobody tried to protect it with anything? and it never broke or scratched by miracle! And now, in era of pseudo-tempered, very solid gorilla-glasses, you still need 2-3 layers of another protective layers over your sreens? that's total ******. and I don't want to pay for tests of something adeqate person would never use.
I was wondering when we would see your negative input again. I guess all the positivity about the Pro1 and the NYC event in the last couple of pages drove you off, but Chen's remark finally gave you something to bite into. With your assumptions of course totally disregarding and disrespecting all of the hard work Chen's team is delivering.Well, as Amboss said, no one is forcing you to do or buy anything. If you don't like it, just walk away. Certainly, no one here will miss you, since you don't actually ever deliver any constructive criticism, but always negative assumptions, doom-thinking, and repeating for very selective topics how 'it was better during the "old days"'. I think we are fully capable of doing that without you, thanks

It doesn't affect any basic use, the light appears on the edge of the glass not the screen. So the display bit of the screen isn't affected. And the "leak" mostly visible when ambient light is dark and screen is bright (like having some white content)
Perhaps for some manufacturer it's not an issue as it doesn't affect use at all and only can see under certain circumstances.
But we decided to try to fix it. The process is not the easiest as we are not involved in the manufacturing of the screen module but we managed to make it to the way it should look like. And then a series of verification and reliability test needs to be performed again.
