Inkcase integration (or similar separate e-ink display to use with Jolla)

I recently stumbled across the kickstarter campaign for Inkcase Plus and actually like the concept of the separate e-ink display, which can also be attached to the device (facing to the inside or outside).

I assume that the product would not work with Jolla out-of-the-box, at least not in a way that Sailfish apps could interact with the display (I don't think there is a way to send intents from Sailfish into the Android environment, or is there?)

Anyway, I think it is a great idea, and I would love to see a "FitCase" Other Half (similar to the FitCases they offer) and full support for the device.

I like the idea of a e-ink other half

@MacManus FYI, there's another request for having an Other Half with integrated e-ink display. Personally, I find the flexibility of InkCase's concept even more appealing.

@tokaru yeah! Thanks!

As a person who has to stare for 8 hours a day into LCD screens, I would love to have a other half with e-ink or at least separate e-ink screen.

This would be a nice extension for me as well. Therefore I described it as a dream OH for me here... https://together.jolla.com/question/17129/poll-the-other-half-of-your-dreams/?answer=76575#post-id-76575

Someone has already been working on an e-ink TOH and there is a blog post about the prototype on JollaUsers.

He hasn’t updated the thread since May, but there’s quite a few info in the TOHeink thread on Maemo forums – it seems to be the best source for updates on this TOH.
