I'm excited about this. It's an additional programmable hardware button for android that connects to your headphone jack. This isn't my Kickstarter project, but I'm a backer. Check it out:
Pressy - the Almighty Android Button!

It looks nice and all but in the end, it's nearly the same as having an NFC tag on your keychain and scanning it even though it seems to offer some more possibilities. The real problem is that it takes the earphones port so you can't listen to your music while you use it.
Also, how do you remove it ?
I just want to know whether the phone needs to be 'unlocked' in order to access these functions. Say i want to take a photo, can i just whip out the phone and click it or do i need to unlock my phone (enter password) first? I wonder...
I saw that you can do it with the screen off so ill back it. seems cool enough
EDIT: so I asked the creator and he said it works when phone is locked with a pin. cool! i might get two now...
How about if you use a bumper or slim case ?...I emailed him and didn't get a reply yet...

Can you plug headphones into it? It'll fit. Whether it becomes too recessed to press easily or not, who knows. Depends on the phone/case.
Still not sure if I love this idea or hate it. The only button I could really see on my phone as useful would be for the cam but would depend on how that button works with my case.
Sent from my shiny new(bought last Nov), scratch less Nexus 4!
They're shipping in March, only $27. I might just have to order one (Not affiliated, just sharing the info).
http://get.pressybutton.com/
Fascinating, I want one, but not sure if I really need one
I think virtually all cases will need have the speaker jack hole expanded, since I think this will have to sit a millimetre higher, and another millimeter wider than the hole itself. Also, you need to get your finger onto it!
Some DIY needed.
This is another awesome Israeli product
Looks very nice. I wonder how it goes with cases.
Did someone tried it already?
I nearly backed this project, but the only thing I could think of what I'd use it for is for the camera, but you can already use the volume rocker to take a picture.
$27 for a "button"... no ty, actually my headphones can do that
mmmm yeah ear phone jack not nice, now if it was bluetooth.....
I backed this early. For me, I don't want my power button to wear out as much so this is perfect for me. The gestures are nice touch as well.

I already have doubletap2wake and slide2sleep, so I never use my power button, but this one is $20+ cheaper than "pressy" and also seems better crafted
Does anybody have an app for pressy or any copy of pressy?

totally agree on this one. if you think about it all this product is is a flashlight made to fit on the back of the phones.
Exactly, and I assume you can buy a small LED flashlight at the dollar store
loool yh thats right
I think 11alex11 is asking for something that fits nicely into the phone and that looks as it was included in the backplate.

Well, I wouldn't call "simple" a heavy brick in the pocket with two batteries but hey... better than nothing!
the adventage of two batterys it´s that normally you have the battery-led charge, but you need to recharge for to be power when you need to use it or change, with the inconvenient of power off, dismount, change and mount.
the ideal , if you use this size, it´s a long battery , and the led take power for the long-battery how on the original iphone 3d case-led, for example,
http://www.momax.net/en/Product_Show.aspx?ID=1312&T=1
but with a led incorporated, desing, durability, and the led, how difficult it´s to do it?
i bought a momax and i want to try to put a led,if it´s run ok send my idea here.

I assume Samsung understood this mistake and give us Galaxy S 2 WITH flash light. It is tiny light but better than nothing for poor light condition for the camera. Almost every devices in this range are equipped with some kind a flash light so why SGS is not?

Id say real, looks like a authentic photo with reflections on the poster
Shows 1.2ghz Dual core Processor, with the dates 10/11/2011 or 11/10/2011 american date
Super amoled which we guessed etc 4.7" screen it says
I agree with you. Lets wait for HK tonight and confirm all this
one thing that i find strange is
Why are the 3 dot connectors on the same side as the power button? if u have it docked on the side how would u turn it on?
Seems abit silly which could indicate fake but its hard to call something real when its unreleased
But "what if" that is not a connector?
any theorys on what else 3 dots could do? 3 dots is pretty common for dock connectors
what if they are on both sides?
like ,for fingers, not to "slide" from hand ?

That doesn't make any sense at all. (No offense, just being brutally honest.)
The dock pin connectors belong on the other side but otherwise this is pretty much spot on.

they are on the power button side
The official teaser video showed the pins on the same side as the power button. The only thing I see that makes me doubt it is the lack of curvature on the screen.
i like it and think thats what its going to look like. we will see today and i work at a cell phone store and the nexus is in my cellbrite for like two weeks already and we get promo posters and cards and t shirts all the time before phones come out so why not and its china we all know the chinnese got the inside info on everything

The curve is probably pretty subtle like on the Nexus S. Those blue lines in the teaser really exaggerated the curves

Yeah, but I saw the enhanced photos from the video, and the curve on the actual device appears much more distinct than the Nexus. We'll see though I suppose.

What concerns me is the bottom bezel. It looks like there's a lot of black after the on-screen buttons on the bottom. Seems like a lot of wasted real-estate. In the leaked videos, it's even more apparent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py9TfZGie48

so in about a week or so i'll post the review and actual pictures
i figured since the 3 people who ordered their other Qi charger were satisfied that i would give this one a shot...it's a decent price and i like the looks...and it has a buzzer as well as an LED to let you know when it's done charging
Let us know how this one pans out.
I bought one of the DT-900's (on sale).. it worked great for 2 days.. and I haven't been able to get it to work since with my N4 (still works fine with my N7).
Only thing that really interests me on this one is the 1A charge, seems like that would definitely be on the high end for Qi chargers.
All of those pictures are CGI. I would wait for real photographs.

I´ve just got it. Looks nice and works well, BUT it plays a moderately loud sound when you put your nexus to charge. This is very annoying because i use it when i go to sleep and awakes my wife.
Obviously i am not going to risk my marriage for an iq charger Anyone knows how to disable the sound? I´ve opened it, but i´ve found no buzzer in the circuit. I don´t mind breaking the buzzer if needed.

Remarks : I do 30-50 emails daily on S5.
It looks cool, though I worry about the magnet doing something to the phone over time. Probably unfounded though.
Otherwise, yeah, I've been waiting for some sort of S5 equivalent to this:
No one has comment... any one using it? Good keys for typing?
RodimusConvoy, where is your picture from? It has no S5 model yet?
It looks nice too

As far as I know, there are no versions of this for the S5, there's only versions for the S3 and S4.
I'm not sure who originally made it, as a bunch of copycats/clones have popped up. I originally saw it at Minisuit, but when I go to the website I see its no longer available. But if you put "sliding bluetooth keyboard" in parenthesis in Google, you'll get hits including where to buy it. For instance, NewEgg has it.
Though that doesn't help if you own the S5 . What you showed may be the only alternative for people who want a keyboard with the S5. And it doesn't look bad, just wondering about that magnet.
I've always been curious about this kind of case. I was looking at this one. http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/galaxy-s5-slide-out-bluetooth-qwerty-keyboard-black-p45647.htm
Sorry, I haven't used one myself...
EDIT:
On closer inspection, I don't think those pictures are the S5... S4 maybe?

Its an S4. The phone in that picture is identical to the one in the pic I posted. That site is pulling a fast one. If you look at the S5, those three "dots" are all to the RIGHT of that tiny bar at the top, plus its corners are squared compared to the rounded S4.
I saw the same thing at Alibaba. It looks like people are taking advantage of the fact people want a keyboard for their S5 by misrepresenting what they're selling.

Yes, I'm very late with this response.
I didn't like it. I found the keyboard inconveniently small, and the corners of the case that clipped onto the phone broke within a few months of use. I'm still looking for a keyboard case for this phone that will give me an experience comparable to having a true QWERTY slider, and I'm really POed that there are no current options available for one.
Samsung is apparently making keyboard cases for the S6 and one of the Tabs that approximate the old Blackberry feel. Not what I'd prefer, but I wish they'd do one for the S5, so I could at least give it a try.
What are the chances of finding a VR headset for this device? Did anyone ever find one for the Mi Max 2? That would probably work...
I'm going to order one of these to see if it will work:

Holy crap that looks great, and its so cheap, can you give any more info? You say it fits but does it fit perfectly? How did you get on with the remote?
It does fit...barely! The unit seems ok, has a nice look to it, seals well against the phone with foam seals, etc. The remote however...so, there is no "button" (like cardboard has...) on the unit so you have to use the "remote"(I put that in quotes as this thing is terrible), but it's been nothing but terrible so far so I'm not sure if it's gonna work properly at all. Doesn't seem to be too much in the way of programming, but I was just jumping in without reading anything. Didn't have much time to mess with it, but maybe I'll take another look at the end of this week.

Interesting thanks, yeah the Amazon reviews dont sound so good when you dig in a bit, I think Ill chance it for $16, it used to cost five or six times that, please post any other thoughts you have, specifically is it focused properly? As in is the phone the right size for the lenses?

focus is good, but not individually adjustable on the lenses. I can't get the remote to work properly, and I have an issue with getting the thing on. The curve on the "mask" is too great and the edges hit my face well before the middle does, fits very tight on my face. I'm going to return for a refund...
