Neat phone, but after seeing that e-ink display cover all that I want now is a wallet case for my phone that has an e-ink display on the outside. Surely someone can make this a thing!

Okay, an e-ink cover sounds like a cool and practical thing, but I would imagine the wireless tech put into the secondary wireless display would diminish the potential battery gains as opposed to just using the regular screen?

It's on the back cover (optional). Who says it's wireless?? Also, it's e-ink! That means it only uses power when it updates the image it is displaying. When the image is static, it uses no power. So as long as they're not tracking the exact time, it will only update every few minutes at most, and whenever you receive a new notification. Even then it uses substantially less power than waking the primary display, so it could actually provide a net power savings.

Hmmm, i use my Note 3 for reading (a LOT) and this makes me wonder if i could use the e-ink back cover for reading my books, especially on the larger size?

Am I the only one here? this device seems too good to be true?

Gosh, you read my mind. I was reading through this and thinking exactly that. It sounds, in theory, like an amazing phone. I missed out on whether the battery is removable or not though?

I am about to buy a phone these days, and the thing that worries me is the hardware quality here.
