Perhaps Tim could use a wrap from JWraps as a template/pattern to cut the leather and send you the prototype to critique.

That might be faster than a "few months" and quite a bit cheaper for him too...

You'd think it would work but it's not as easy as that. The leather he uses is very thick and the JWrap is thin so this has to be compensated for when making a pattern. I made leather cases for my Microsticks and used a piece of paper as my template. When I cut the leather it ended up too small. Tim cuts out the windows and sometimes adds loops and rings. Placement has to be accurate.

Put it inside of a Toaster Oven...

Until your confidence builds.

The screen went off on mine about an hour ago. It still fired for a few minutes afterward then eventually shut down.Took the battery out and put it back in and it seems fine . I've been using it continuously since I received it yesterday and have had no
problems until now. Of course this had to happen while I'm at work with no backup. Hopefully it will be fine at least for the rest of the night.

If you guys are really worried about charging, look into LiPo charging bags. I've never used one, and don't feel right trapping a battery in a container that traps the head in with it.
So why suggest it?

Not Sure, Jim

Right tool for the right job, if you're going to do it in the first place. Too many things can go wrong when people go the DIY route. Maybe the Dutch Oven lid is too heavy and at some point cuts through the wire and shorts it out. Maybe the lid on the pot is not heavy enough to contain a venting battery and blows off, still letting the battery fly around the room. Just thinking out loud, but you get the idea.

I do...

Just as a lipo bag is for...

Lipo batteries

Many fixes their are for a non problem.

The Household Oven would prolly be best though.

Just Thinkin, Jim

Uh Huh...

You First!!!

LOLz, Jim

I think it should be redesigned. If you recall, Zen was speculating about the construction. We now know it doesn't need a hamster and a battery - that's for cloud chasers.
