Logos and Eco Friendly Materials

Finally, Logos! let me know what you think of these, the top one is the primary logo which i envision embossed on the product somewhere, haven't decided if it should be prominent (like the apple logo on back of iPad) or kinda hidden so you only see it on the inside or something. I guess that will depend on what you guys think. Let me know if you can get down with this or if you hate it, another idea I was playing with was a silhouette of a Goliath beetle from the side. I thought it'd be cool to reference the insects exoskeleton but I put the idea aside for this more clean looking design (if you guys hate this one and want to see the beetle I'll revive it!)

*logo attached below

I got an email requesting Goliath be made from eco-friendly materials, such as recycled plastics etc. I would love to do this but fear that recycled plastics would shorten the lifespan and quality of the product. From my experience recycled plastics tend to break/fracture much more quickly than virgin material. If anyone knows otherwise and has eco-material suggestions I'd be happy to take them. I've seen a lot of requests for a leather case, so maybe I'll have to do a recycled leather case to compliment this one.

Again, thanks for all the feedback, it's awesome how Adam fans like to get involved!
[Adam Accessories] football0552:
Reminds me of aftermarket car mods for some reason, which isn't a positive or negative ...

Let's see the beetle, the idea intrigues me.
[Adam Accessories] football0552:
On another note, if you designed the connections right I don't think the brittleness of recycled plastics would be much of an issue. There really isn't much stress placed upon these covers unless they arent tight to the device body or (obviously) dropped.

Any possibility of a bidirectional kickstand?
[Adam Accessories] wynalazca:
Sorry to stay off topic, but after going through a hands on course from one of the sales people, Solidworks is a much better program to use. I'm not sure if it was just the computer I had, but Inventor seemed a little buggy and crashed all the time on me.

Also, I'm really digging the logos. If the price is reasonable, I'm definitely interested in purchasing!
[Adam Accessories] nosanon:
Hey XDA, so last Monday my server got hacked and it screwed up my entire weeks schedule. I learned some lessons, i.e. never host all your work critical websites on one server. Luckily no damage was really done and I learned a lot about what I need to do in the future to be more careful. Monday was going to be dedicated to version 2 modeling and updates but since that day was completely occupied by damage control I've had to fit in the modeling after hours and this weekend. Luckily our manufacturer was able to get me estimates and timetables for prototyping and first production, so all was not lost. I hope to have some prototypes by end of next week so we can all have something real to look at, not just renders.

football0552: thanks for the heads up, I'm considering using living hinges to create the integrated stand while keeping everything flush. Do you know about recycled plastics in this application? I know virgin material can be flexed over a million times. Bidirectional Kickstand is in the works, I have several solutions, working on a final to patent before releasing images.
[Adam Accessories] Paul74:
That looks great, hope your planning on shipping international!!!

One question / idea are you planing a cover / folio case to protect the screen.

I fly in helicopters occasionally and the luggage gets tossed about a bit so I am needing some protection for the screen too.

Cant wait to see the real deal.
[Adam Accessories] football0552:
To answer your question about recycled plastics and living hinges-- No, I don't. I could do some research if needed, but off the top of my head I don't know.
[Adam Accessories] trinity703:
I like the Icon only as well as the Horizontal format. Torn, as either one would be nice.
[Adam Accessories] Hankdula:
living hinge

Hey, maybe you could do something like a snap version of a livinge hinge; at the top and sides. Disconnect the snaps you're not using and flip the cover open to either a portrait or landscape kickstand. My concern is for the longevity of a living hinge...
[Adam Accessories] football0552:
it could die... (sorry, couldn't resist).
[Adam Accessories] nosanon:
I saw a funny engineering post called Night of the Living Hinge. Anyways, got updates!

It's been a hectic couple of weeks but finally I'm ready to share pre-production renders. We've patented design in China and US, as well as trademarked our name so without further delay. Here are the updates:

1. Ruggedized re-design brings a better grip on the second skin as well as increasing impact resistance.

2. Screen Protector with design features that direct screen impact to the outside of the case not the screen.

3. Micro SD card slots to store 3 extra MicroSD cards

4. Integrated kickstand

5. fully accessible ports when open, fully protected ports when closed

6. Sliding Camera cover protects the lens when closed, allows full use when slid open.

more images uploaded to the site.
[Adam Accessories] foster06:
super project. I will buy one foe my future Adam. Really good. All what I need from case
[Adam Accessories] strboy:
I'm in, I will definitly get one of these...that second pic looks amazing....what is the site again? and what will be the cost?
[Adam Accessories] nosanon:
Price and Site

The site is goliathpro.com and the cost we're shooting for is estimated around USD$20 for the Second Skin and USD$50 for the Full Protection. These estimates aren't solid yet tho as we have yet to finalize our manufacturing partner.
[Adam Accessories] daiuton:
How much wear and tear is planed for these? Will they have plugs for all the ports like the hdmi, trying to get some of these adams for the unit im in but we are concerned about the uncovered ports, not to mention the delivery systems in place lol... Thanks

Edit: Also have you though about some rings on the top sides for a strap?
[Adam Accessories] nosanon:
Wear and Tear

We're looking to provide a really rugged solution while not bulking it up too much. we're going with Santoprene or TPU for the SecondSkin (havent finalized yet). So you'll have higher impact resistance, less compression, and it wont cut or tear. Outer shell will be Polypro so it'll be durable and flexible, essentially there to dissipate impacts across the second skin like a bike helmet does. (You'll notice corners extend past all other surfaces so they become first point of impact, also hardshell wraps them tight to prevent too much compression.

The hardshell cover/lid completely protects and closes off all ports including speakers when closed. When open all ports become open to use.

As for straps and/or rings, we're going to incorporate that into another model which we're looking to design to Mil-STD 810G for impact, dust, vibration and water resistance. Current model is really close to manufacture so changes will be minor from here on out.
[Adam Accessories] nosanon:
Been thinking about your needs and came accross this site http://www.topicovers.com I've ordered samples to see if they fit inside the case as TOPI claims they're flush with the USB port (could always xacto off the nubbin). Originally thought about including a full Adam port plug kit to include (but this would raise price and not everyone needs this as Hard-Shell cover already covers ports) so I asked if they'd work with us to provide a discount for Goliath customers who are looking for their kind of product, seems reasonable enough, I'll let you know how it goes.
[Adam Accessories] nosanon:
Prototypes in hand!

Hey XDA!

With Rohan 'Breaking the Silence' my PO2 Adam will be arriving any day now! I got prototypes of the case just in time. I think i can post pictures now so take a look!

*note: these are prototypes so materials aren't the same as final production, you'll notice the soft part (now branded as Adamant Skin) is made from floppy urethane rubber (final will be cut proof TPU). Hardshell is prototyped in ABS type plastic when final will be more flexible polypro.

All Parts

Perforated top of what is now Adamant Skin

Adamant Skin

Skin meet Armor

Adamant Armor with lid open (this could be a good sunshade config for non PQ Adams)

Adamant Armor Closed

Adamant Armor Closed from Left Side

Lid attached backwards for prolonged use

Lid attached backwards for prolonged reading/use top view

And last but not least viewing stand config!

This being the first time the case is in physical reality there are some minor adjustments that need to be made to the hinge (beefier) and the camera cover (smoother action) but with these adjustments and some more testing when Adam arrives we should be ramping up to full scale production within the next week or two.
[Adam Accessories] blazingwolf:
That looks really good for a prototype. Can't wait to see the real thing. :)
[Adam Accessories] nosanon:
Threw up a brief YouTube video of my Adam setup, just thought I'd share.

[YOUTUBE]lsQAIPFom_s[/YOUTUBE]
[Adam Accessories] Theoriginalgiga:
this is awesome! what's your projected cost for these cases?
[Adam Accessories] daiuton:
The case is looking good, my test with the Adam as a practical military pub system went well though some are still liking the gtab due to the price point of 299, so with that any plans on a model for the gtab? We will probably get a couple more of the Adams but the shipping is a problem that and they never answered my questions about the Adam... anyways keep up the good work and hope to order some of these soon, our deployment is suppose to be next year... thank you for your efforts!
[Adam Accessories] Rachet:
Thanks for posting the Video Nosanon! This has helped rekindle my interest in this tablet. I've been waiting so long I had stopped caring, but now I can't wait for it to show up. Either today :D ... or Monday :( Great walk through!

Rachet
[Adam Accessories] nosanon:
@Daiuton: Yeah, notion ink seems to be getting out the startup kinks, with the new official forum it should get a lot better. I imagine the PixelQi screen is the best benefit of the Adam of Gtab. There are no plans to develop cases for any other devices yet as we need to get the Adam case done right first. Do you know where you'll be deployed? I've been thinking about the heat in the middle east and how to deal with it, I'm thinking the simplest way would be a white or silver case to reflect it and keep the Adam cool.
[Adam Accessories] johnboatcat:
Looks great. Can't wait!
[Adam Accessories] daiuton:
@nosanon I think you have a good idea but anything reflective is like a flashing target, the plans are Afghanistan though i'm not so sure i'm going as I have a job opportunity which I may not re up... so with that said the device needs to be matte, black is best also to keep in mind, it gets really cold at night and in some areas it snows, so think more extreme weather, something that doesn't go brittle after a year of bi-polar weather...

-Daiuton aka Nate

by the way the tablet is still being considered, but I might focus on non military applications.
[Adam Accessories] strboy:
/sigh...im tired of waiting for this..i want i want...take my money, send me that prototype..lol
[Adam Accessories] nosanon:
Lol, we've handed prototype to manufacturer and they've begun creating the injection molding tool, won't be long now :)
[Adam Accessories] dawcx:
Any new word?
[Adam Accessories] amityg:
I will be getting one and then a second of the military grade.
[Adam Accessories] sunnysurya:
Looks good.

Final costs and shipping costs would be of interest at this stage. I am in India btw.
[Adam Accessories] DevJackey:
The case is BEAUTIFUL!

I really like the concept! Really very well thought out
[Adam Accessories] nosanon:
Thanks, we're getting really close to sales, mass production underway now!

Hi

I am having a tuff time with all the new CMWs. here is my story

Ok so I had froyo DL30 and the new EB01 was leaked so I wanted to update to that. I tried going to CMW and for some reason it was not loading, I was stuck in the blue screen. I came here to the forums to find answers to my problems and found the thread with the new red cwm-recovery-ALL so I flashed that with odin and it seem to work at first, but when I wanted to flash a .zip it would no let me. it kept says it could not mount the sd card.

I decide to go back to completely stock with odin, then I flashed DL09 and then I flashed EB01modem.tar with odin also but I used the CMW that was made for DL05 and DL09. I tried booting into recovery and again could not get pass the blue screen. I tried several update.zips on my sdcard root and found one that worked, it was sitting in my clockworkmod folder. I dont know why it worked but it did and it took me to red clockworkmod. everything in there worked so I flashed jts superclean 2.4 and some batt mods. All those flashed correctly and was able to upgrade to EB01 and jt super clean but the CMW no longer works. It outomatically goes to re CMW (no blue screen) and again it tells me it cant mount sd card.

If someone has an answer to this please let me know, I am desparate. thankfully I got what I wanted form CMW before it stoped working.

I wished everyone gave odin files along with the zips so people have options on how to flash. personally I love odin over flashing CMW.

Thanks.
[Fascinate General] Takafiji:
Been having the same issue, im going to use your exact method when i get it to work ill post my solution to you.

btw you can mount the card by, going to cwm, then advanced, the hit reboot recovery. you should be set.
[Fascinate General] Zacisblack:
Have you seen my thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957132

It has all the steps to fix recovery but this is the red recovery which will work with both voodoo and non-voodoo. It seems to be working well for people if you follow all of the steps. You have to do more than just flash cwm-recovery-ALL via Odin.
[Fascinate General] Takafiji:
Got it! fool proof!

put http://db.tt/kWmVm4F at the root of sdcard, call it update.zip

My steps, went to download mode, reverted to dl01 (stock) package.

After reverting i went straight to download mode and proceeded to odin this file http://db.tt/6dZUc7d (thanks jt!).

then after reboot i went directly to recovery mode, it took me right to red cwm. I then flashed a custom rom (super clean 2.4) and a custom voodoo eb01 kernel. I think this step is key to the process. Also applied update.zip

After this i went back to download mode and odined the eb01 modem, then booted to android.

After all this i put my device into usb mode and copied http://db.tt/kWmVm4F (thanks again jt!) putting it on the root of my sd card, naming it update.zip.

Lastly i copied it again to my clockworkmod folder on my sd card and renamed it "recovery-update.zip"

Booted to recovery installed things (zips) no problem.

Hope this helped!
[Fascinate General] jonagpa:
yes I did and I followed it, the problem is that i started with the red CMW then i followed your guide, but I cant flash anything because I cant mount the sd card

I will give this a try but I am afraid that if it doesn't work I might not be able to update to EB01 if i cant mount the sd card.
[Fascinate General] jonagpa:
what update.zip did you flash the first time?

currently following your steps and hoping that step is not completely necessary

Update: hahahahaha i guess doing this at 2:30AM is not the smartest idea, i completely missed the first sentence lmao right now.

Update #2: ok i followed the following steps

1-put http://db.tt/kWmVm4F at the root of sdcard, call it update.zip

2-reverted to dl01 (stock) package.

3-straight to download mode and proceeded to odin this file http://db.tt/6dZUc7d (thanks jt!).

4-directly to recovery mode, it took me right to red cwm.

after i get to rec cwm it starts giving me the same old problem, cant mount sd card. any ideas? about to trow phone against the wall

what odin package are you using to revert back to stock?

also this is what i get when i try to choose zip file

finding update package

E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

(invalid argument)

E:cant mound /sdcard

I went to the mounts and storage menu and tried mounting sdcard from there, it gave me the following

E:cant mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

(invalid argument)

Error mounting SDCARD:!

also not sure if you noticed but you have links to the same zip file twice once in your fist sentence and then again after you flash EB01

update 3

I am thinking it might have to do with the way my sd card is formatted, i remember formatting it a while ago so i can boot honeycomb form sd and then formatting it again (had some partition problems) but it has been use with cwm since then but you never know. does anyone know how should i format my sd card.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] destinybay:
All of a sudden, my BN library is gone. It was there earlier today. Right after I downloaded some more books, my entire library disappeared. My sd card read fine. All of those books are there. It's just the BN ones I have downloaded. My NC is rooted.

Please, please, please...can anyone help me? :eek:
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rohit275:
This is really odd...did you try logging into your account online to see if all your books and things are still there? If they are, it probably shouldn't be too hard to fix...go to your library on your nook and hit the sync button and see if it comes back.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] destinybay:
I know...it's so weird. All my shelves and mags are gone, too. I checked online. They are all there. I have tried sync, but it won't do anything. It does not reload them. I am so stumped and upset.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] destinybay:
Something else I noticed with the missing library

I had a couple of books on the home screen. I can open those. That tells me that they are somewhere on the NC or it wouldn't open. At least, I would think so. Am I wrong? I know I didn't move anything.

When I got the new downloads this afternoon, I had to stop the download do to work, so they never completed. It won't sync. I think it's because it sees the files somewhere, but I have no idea where. I went into Astro library. I can only see the 2 guide books that come with it.

I hooked my NC to my PC. I can see the BN downloads there. Even weirder.

I am a teacher. I teach an AP English class. Of course, my copies were on this library and now I can't access them.

Can anyone help me with this?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] destinybay:
please help?

Newest development. I went to download the new freebie of the week and it worked. It showed up in my library like it is i suppose to. Is there a way to move files? Where do I move them to? Can I temporarily move them and put them back and they show up? I can see the others when I plug the NC into my PC. If I take them out, reboot, put them back there, will that work?

I went and deleted all downloads from BN (after I backed them up on my computer) and rebooted. I thought that if they weren't there, I could re-sync and download again. Nope. That didn't work. I could only redownload the one from this morning.

That would lead me to believe that there is some command screwed up.

I am now out of my element. I can see the downloads when I go into Astro. I just can't read them in my library.

This really doesn't make much sense to me...my only guess would be to try moving the files around from your internal memory to your sd card or something and see if you can get them to show up.
