A piece of Apollo 11 Command Module foil?! Shame they're sold out as I'd have bought that too.

Indeed. Ordered one as a wedding present for my fiancée - she'll love it.

I was a bit pissed off I missed the first one so was straight in there with this one. Glad it's tickled a few fancies.Had a look at the previous version, depending on your outlook in some ways even nicer.

Looks like my gut feeling on that laser razor was right, suspended by kickstarter as no working demo but now on Indiegogo

I think this one will run and run.

I got the email from Kickstarter this morning saying that they won't be taking my money. Thankfully I've managed to get an early bird rate on Indiegogo and saved myself $50 http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2015-10/13/ska...

How does the posher one compare to say an Iphone 6. Just as good ? Better ? Worse?
Define better / worse / as good. For making phone calls? As good as each other, I would say. For running Android? I'd say the iPhone is pretty poor at that. Not strictly a frivolous purchase, as I needed a new wallet, but I had decided I wanted to get a Carbon or Kevlar one if I could. All the ones I'd seen were somewhat tacky and I nearly gave up, but then I came across a tiny firm in the States who hand make them ( Ragged Edge). Lots to choose from, but I went for Kevlar:
Quality is great, price was very reasonable, so I'm well chuffed.
As you'd expect its incredibly light and thin, in fact I keep having to check my pocket to make sure I've not lost it.
I've got the bug now and fancy one of the all black Carbon ones, and they do a customisation option too - I can see me ending up with 2 or 3 of them at this rate
