So guys, we've been talking about several devices that could work well with BLOCKS, but which accessory made specifically for BLOCKS would you buy first, were they all available? Feel free to post your ideas here, and I'll make sure to add them to the poll. If you wonder what "made specifically for BLOCKS" means, just take a look at the poll options, and everything will become clear!

I voted for a charging dock/stand but I guess I could design and 3D print it.
So I would rather get the travel case.

I voted for both, just to be sure! I could make both the dock and the case myself, but the latter is what I find more useful, as simple as that. No way I'm going around with the extra batteries somewhere inside my messenger. I can't wait for the SDK to come out, I need accurate dimensions to design

I'd like some kind of rubberized protector, cover/cap for the core face. I'm always bashing watch screens. At first they yell for mercy but in a few scrapes are quickly subdued, my poor scratched automatons.

That would be the "rugged case", I'll change the name to avoid confusion!

I'd go for the dock. Just to have it near my bed and start wearing it every morning.

When you ran into a problem, don't give up.
Most of the time a nice workaround will help you further.

Yes, yes, yes
I hope there will be technical drawings in the SDK, because callipers are good but not as efficient.
At some time I asked for the module shells file to be public so we can 3D print our own, I hope it will be the case.

I would have voted dock, if it weren't for the latest update. Looks like the core has some kind of pogo pin system now.
