Hmm that's strange the link should work, it works for me, can anybody else test the link to check if it works?
TBH the NUU MiniKey is incredibly slim! It will only add 5mm to the N9's thickness of 12.1mm, meaning a total thickness of 17.1mm.
Whereas the N900 had around 18mm thickness. So its just less then the N900 but much more beautiful to look at
I don't have another camera atm but when I get my hands on one I will actually make a video of it and put it on youtube, working all week so most likely gonna be a little while.
As for the bluetooth, well some work needs to happen for that to be smooth, atm the N9 requires you to pair any bluetooth keyboard using BTInput if the connection is lost, BUT I am working on programming a ProfileMatic event that will involve an NFC Sticker and some clever commands which should make it more usable
I will work on it and when I get it all working smoothly will post instructions as well as links to get the NFC Sticker ect.
Just bear with me, and in the mean time you can purchase the bracket from ShapeWays
It is an early version, I will be thinking of maybe getting it created using injection moulded instead of 3D Printed, but that will have to be when I have more time, for now it is what it is, an early access way to use the N9 more efficiently for typing

Have you tried accessing it directly? Shapeways and then just doing a search for 'nuu minikey bracket'
Sculpteo link is here : http://www.sculpteo.com/en/design/nu...-n9-4/RvwLdWwH

Could you explain what would be the benefits of an injection moulded version? More accurate dimensions, better fit, more optimal shape?

That looks great (the link works fine for me), you know you don't have to use shapeways, there might will be local commercial and hobby 3D printerers in your area who might be cheaper.
To address concerns about having a chunky unit, couldn't you just snap in your n9 when you need a keyboard, and the rest of the time you leave it out?

I couldn't find the bracket either. I tried search terms nuu and minikey and bracket, though there were so many bracket entries i only went through the first six pages. I am in the US. What is your user name on the site?
You searched for

Or try this link http://shpws.me/9rX3

But Shapeways.com is located in the US, that's why I thought you were from there too.I tried everything for Shapeways.com, including accessing it directly without specifying the URL for the N9 housing, but I always got the HTTP 500 error. Friends of mine can access it without any problem, so I guess it is not really a "server internal error", but an error with my computer. What is surprising is that I can't access it from the N9 nor from the computer, and I can't access it with the computer connected via 3G tethering nor with a wifi connexion. That's very odd.
Would you share the 3D model you built so that I could upload it to another website (Sculpteo seems quite good and inexpensive) or a local printerer, as suggested by Mrsellout? I would understand if you wouldn't agree to share it, of course.
A friend made sent me screenshot of your housing, I was too curious.
Pretty neat bracket! The only thing it lacks in my opinion is a rounded shape on the external side, and not only on the internal one. It would probably feel less chunky, and be easier to hold. But I don't know if it can be easily achieved with 3D printing.

I have had to reupload it as there was an error in the image, I didn't want anybody ordering it with the flaw
I have reuploaded it and it should be back on the site soon, I will repost the new link and update links as soon as they are available

The N9 itself doesn't have rounded edges anyways so it goes with its design.I don't want to share the design file itself just yet. If you let me know other sites I will happily upload it onto them
Uploading it onto Sculpteo atm
UPDATE: Sculpteo breaks my model and does not let me stop it from trying to repair it..

Perhaps it would be useful to compare the services provided among different sites, but again Sculpteo seems OK and not that much expensive. You could even have a store with them I think, and make some money from the few units we are gonna order.
but I think NUU minikey looks better tho.
