NEWS: Wood lids for iCog and eCog cases!

Ladies and gentlemen:

I just added one more item to the lineup of iCog (TM) and eCog (TM):  an accessory wooden lid of all the tablet cases.  This is a very simple addition for the cases that I intend to offer separately at my shop


I noticed that something was missing from my tablet cases:  there was no way to protect the screen.  In the same way some tablets come with their own detachable cover, I came up with the idea to include sockets in all of my tablet cases such that you can purchase a hinged wooden lid for you case, and attach it without the need for screwdrivers and such.  A brass wire hook screwed in the opposite side of the case allows you to use a padlock to lock the wood case shut!

For now, I will only offer this as an upgrade package to be sold at the time of purchase, but in the very near future, I may actually sell it separately for $50 (projected price), provided I substitute the brass wire hook with a less protrusive device, a snap button perhaps, like those used to attach canvas.

The wooden lid has an interior frame and panel (facing the screen), lined with felt to match the interior of the iCog (TM) and eCog (TM) case.  The exterior of the lid has another wood frame and features two beautiful polished brass hinges, which attach to the tablet by way of two knurled knobs.  These can be turned either with a conventional screwdriver, or with your thumbs.  I think this is a very nice way to dress up and complete the package.

As an extra for my cases in the near future, I intend to replace the brass nuts in the mechanized buttons, and replace them with brass acorn nuts;  I may add this as a standard "upgrade package" in the future, but for now you can see the pictures of my latest commission on the eCog Aphrodite (TM) case for the barnes and Noble Nook (R) Color.


I humbly remain at your service,

J. Wilhelm
