That's lovely but $40 is a bit steep for a slither of leather haha.
Still want one tho so will order it but in protest.
The machining on the hardware is very good. I think it's fair. Very premium packaging too.

My only problem now is that the 58mm Alox knife that I have on my keys is orange, I'll have to get a black one now!

I'd rather it turn up in a tesco bag and cost less than have a nice package that's going in the bin when it arrives!

Saying that, as a gift a nice package is better, oh err.

I'm sure we will find a use for it.

Just bought myself an Orbitkey http://www.orbitkey.com/collections/premium-leathe...

Went for a black leather one and it tidies the keys up nicely.

Where and how much?

Just bought a robot vacuum from Aldi. It is currently freaking the cats out. hehe But seems to be doing an ok job!
Briefly had two of those. Was literally minutes of fun watching them get confused mapping the flat and getting confused when they keep detecting other things that weren't where they though they should be, (i.e. the other one moving around).

Besides, who else do you transport a cat in a shark costume around the floor? All I need now is a compliant cat and a shark costume. Did see a radio controlled inflatable shark a while ago, but can't get the helium over here..
hehe My plan is to get the cats used to it so they will ride around on it. Nest I film and send off to You've Been Framed for my £250, thereby the whole purchase will be cost positive (it cost £120)! thumbup

For those who may be interested, it is fairly rubbish on carpets but pretty good on hard floor/lino which is what I have downstairs.
Only problem with that is ybf don't accept videos anymore....

I missed this on kickstarter as i had hit my running budget, the only thing that has stopped me since then is that my second door key is a skeleton type and might not fit.

Please tell me it's rubbish.

The Orbitkey is $40 AUS.

I can see myself getting another for my other set of keys too!

Just bought this to replace my orange version, needs to match the Orbitkey!

Well, if you do manage to get some then you *have* to attach a frickin' laser to its head.

How many views do you need on youtube for it to payout the same? :scratch chin:

I find them pretty useless on anything other than hard floor, but since I live in what amounts to a sandpit, its in pretty well constant use and seems to do the job pretty well..

I know, same response last time I posted stuff from there. They regularly have very good deals though. The batteries I just bought from there appear to be around double the price anywhere else at the moment.

I will 2nd the website, has lot of good kit at a lot cheaper than looking online... Always wary of sites like Achica, etc as when it comes down to it its only £1 or so cheaper than having a quick browse.

This one is different.

I just don't understand the logic, it's email harvesting. I don't want to get pestered just because I had a look at one product.
