GOLE1 Rear Cover w/ Keyboard Mount by makho

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

This is a replacement rear cover for a GOLE1 computer. I have included mounts to attach a slide out Bluetooth iPhone 5 keyboard from Monoprice. The keyboard itself has since been discontinued but may likely still be found on amazon or ebay. It's a "SOLiDMATE Bluetooth Pocket Keyboard Case for iPhone 5" (there is no model number). I made this cover so I can attach the keyboard without having to permanently modify either device. I originally made the thicker version of the cover (2.5 mm) but I decided to redesign it to only be 1 mm thick. The thicker version should be much stronger but I figured that it would be difficult to print with my printer so I redesigned the model so that it can be printed upside-down and have no overhangs. Other than the thickness, both covers have the same measurements.
My particular GOLE1 is the Indiegogo version with the Pogo pins for the expansion case and no vent holes (I may make a future revision with vent holes) and such the cable for the Pogo connector had to be disconnected. To remove this cable, you can either unscrew it from the rear cover and tuck it away or unplug it from the motherboard. To unplug it from the motherboard, you have to remove the battery which is stuck down with two strips of doublesided adhesive foam tape.
