Some of these great community guys - Dirk van Leersum, Andrew Zhilin or Kimmo Lindholm - must have be working like 24/7 for a while.
The TOHKBD project, aiming to deliver more than 1100 Qwerty keyboard smart covers for Jolla phone owners in April 2015, has taken some steps forward during the past months. We're already looking forward to get our hands on the prototype in few weeks at Barcelona, where Dirk and Andrew are joining the MWC15 event.
Here's the latest photos with just one sweet color option, and below you'll also find a demo video by Dirk, and the plans for the following weeks
